Effective August 6, 2003, a new rule (327 IAC 15-13 (click on the "Rule 13" bookmark on the left of the page that comes up in your browser window) applies to the portions of an urban federal, state, municipal, county, public or private entity storm water conveyance system that are not combined with sewage conveyances. A regulated conveyance system includes roads with drains, municipal streets, catch basins, curbs, gutters, storm drains, piping, channels, ditches, tunnels and conduits. A notification letter was mailed in December 2002 to all known entities that will be subject to Rule 13. More information and application forms are available here. The Indiana Phase II storm water regulations allow for two permit coverage options, a general permit and an individual permit. IDEM foresees that the vast majority, if not all, of the Phase II MS4 entities in Indiana will be covered under general permits. More information on this permitting program and on permitting options can be found in the Rule 13 Guidance Manual [PDF]. |

Note: Public water systems (PWS) are also to obtain a facility construction permit (see above) from IDEM prior to building or expanding a water treatment facility or related equipment. A state law was enacted during the 2003 legislative session allowing for the collection by IDEM of annual drinking water operating fees. The new statute is Indiana Code (IC) 13 18-20.5. IDEM will be allowed to collect about $2 million annually from PWS to help defer the increasing costs of implementing the Safe Drinking Water Act. The fee will be phased in over the next three years.

1) A "Public Water System" (defined at IC 13-11-2-177.3 - see version b) means a public water supply for providing the public with piped water for human consumption, if such system has at least fifteen (15) service connections or regularly serves an average of at least twenty-five (25) individuals daily at least sixty (60) days out of the year.
2) A "Community Water System" (defined at IC 13-11-2-35.5) is a public water system that serves at least 15 service connections used by year-round residents or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents<./span> Community Water Systems service entities such as cities, towns, and mobile home parks.
3) A "Nontransient Noncommunity Water System" (defined at IC 13-11-2-142.7) serves entities such as schools and industries. A Nontransient Noncommunity Water System regularly serves the same 25 or more persons for at least at least 6 months of the year.
4) A "Transient Noncommunity Water System" (defined at IC 13-11-2-237.5 - see version b) is a noncommunity water system that does not regularly serve at least twenty-five (25) of the same persons over six (6) months per year. Examples include campgrounds, churches, motels, restaurants, highway rest areas, and gasoline stations. The key difference between a Transient Noncommunity Water System and a Non-Transient Noncommunity Water System is the populations they serve are not regularly served from the system on a year-round basis.
