Listed jurisdictions must file a permit and a five-year implement plan to the Ohio EPA by March 10, 2003.
	Some of the implications for local communities include development and implementation of stringent erosion and sediment control practices at construction sites both during and after development.
	Communities will be required to incorporate practices, both regulatory (such as ordinances or zoning codes) and technical/physical (such as source controls, detention facilities, or infiltration practices), that will address runoff and nonpoint source pollution into their ordinances, planning and permitting processes.  Communities will be expected to enforce these new practices.
	Communities must also identify and map outfalls within their jurisdiction and develop an enforceable program to address illicit discharges once they are identified.
	Model ordinances are being prepared as part of a Hamilton County Storm Water study.  Communities can use these as a “jumping off point” for their community.
	Penalties for noncompliance (violation of the federal Clean Water Act) can include monetary fines and imprisonment of the individual who signed the permit.
