water act required that all counties and municipalities implement/develop a program to

compliance with the clean water act. The requirements are listed under the National

Pollutant Discharge Limitation System, called the Phase II Rule and require counties and

municipalities to cover/control the discharge of pollutants. The deadline to implement

a program is March 2003. Supervisor Calhoun suggested an input from citizens of Hinds

County, as well as looking at the type of causes for storm water. She also suggested

steps for getting a program started. The first step is deciding how the storm water

program would be funded. The program is estimated to cost well over $100,000.00 to

develop such a plan. The second step is to decide who would help to develop a plan and

whether Hinds County would utilize an Engineering Firm, hire staff, or an independent

consultant with the background and experience. Supervisor Calhoun stated the Storm

Water Management Plan would be an ongoing program and would need staff and

5
