Permittees in Oklahoma

There are two Phase I stormwater permitted cities in Oklahoma: Tulsa and Oklahoma City.

As of 2010 and prior to the renewal of OKR04 and the 2010 Census, there are 44 Phase II stormwater permitted cities, counties and Federal facilities in Oklahoma. Nineteen of these are members of the Green Country Stormwater Alliance (GCSA). A list of these, along with maps of their locations and contact information, are provided on the GCSA website for Member Communities.

The table below lists the current Phase II permittees in Oklahoma. Several cities that were originally designated in the 1999 EPA regulations as Phase II have been granted waivers owing to their small Urbanized Area. These waivers will be re-evaluated by ODEQ for continuance or permitting when the present ODEQ stormwater permit for small MS4s (OKR04) is reissued in 2010. Also, the US Bureau of Census is expected to re-define Urbanized Area after the 2010 Census. This may result in additional cities and/or counties designated as needing Phase II permits. The new UA definitions will be available in 2012. Also in 2012, EPA is scheduled to finalize new stormwater regulations, part of which may re-define permit coverage.

The map of all permitted cities and counties (below) shows that most permittees are centered around the metropolitan areas of Oklahoma City and Tulsa. However, there are 10 additional cities that were designated by ODEQ in 2003 as Phase II owing to their total size of larger than 10,000 population, density of greater than 1,000, and having potential to cause urban runoff of one or more pollutants of concern. These 10 are also located on the statewide map.
