Idaho Phase II
MS4 compliance software for Idaho Phase II permittees.
NPDESTracker is browser-based MS4 software aligned to the six Minimum Control Measures that Phase II permittees in Idaho operate under through the IPDES program. Annual reports that roll up from records, mobile inspections for the field, and a GIS-aware workspace that fits alongside your existing ArcGIS or QGIS deployment.

01 · Aligned to the permit framework
Built around the six Minimum Control Measures.
Idaho's Phase II MS4 permittees operate under the IPDES (Idaho Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) program administered by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality. The product's data structures and workflows align to the six federal Minimum Control Measures that frame the IPDES Phase II MS4 General Permit, with the annual report template structured the way DEQ expects program-year submissions to read.
Public Education and Outreach
Documented education events, audiences reached, and materials distributed across the reporting year.
Public Involvement and Participation
Public meetings, comment periods, and volunteer programs with attendance and minutes.
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
Complaint intake, dry-weather screening, source tracing, and enforcement on a single thread per outfall.
Construction Site Runoff Control
Active-disturbance inspections, deficiency follow-up, and enforcement records aligned to your construction inspection cadence.
Post-Construction Stormwater Management
Live BMP inventory, annual inspections, and maintenance records for structural BMPs.
Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping
Municipal facility inspections, spill response, fleet operations, and staff training tied to MS4 obligations.
02 · Annual reporting
Reporting that holds up under DEQ review.
Every number in your annual MS4 report links back to its underlying record. Counts come from inspections, IDDE incidents, BMP records, and enforcement actions logged through the year, not from free-text fields you reconcile in a spreadsheet at the end of the reporting period.
Manual overrides leave a one-line audit-log entry: user, timestamp, original value, new value, reason. When DEQ reviewers ask "what changed and why," the answer is on screen.
See how reporting works, or read the guide to making an MS4 program audit-ready.
03 · Inspections
Inspections that fit the field, not the office.
Mobile-first inspection workflow built for the inspector in the truck, on phone, tablet, or browser. Photo and GPS attached to each record. Site context one tap away. Cadence-aware so overdue and due-soon items are flagged before they become audit findings.
See how inspections work, read about stormwater inspection cadence, or the photo and GPS evidence guide.
04 · GIS-aware throughout
Designed to coexist with your existing ArcGIS or QGIS deployment.
Most Idaho Phase II permittees already maintain their authoritative spatial data in ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Enterprise, or QGIS. NPDESTracker is built to live alongside that, not replace it. Sites, outfalls, BMPs, and incidents live on a map, color-coded by status, with the same coordinates your GIS team already maintains.
Imports standard GIS file formats (GeoJSON, shapefile). Coordinates exportable for ArcGIS, QGIS, or DEQ submittals. The full interop story is on the GIS workspace page, and there is more on why most programs end up running both in the MS4 software vs ArcGIS post.
05 · An honest note on scope
What the product is ready for in Idaho today.
NPDESTracker's data model is built around the six federal Minimum Control Measures, which is the same framework Idaho DEQ uses for the IPDES Phase II MS4 General Permit. The workflows for inspections, IDDE, BMP tracking, and annual reporting translate cleanly to Idaho programs.
The deepest reference work to date is in Washington, where the founder is based. We are not going to pretend the product was built specifically for Idaho. What we will say is that the framework fits, the workflows fit, and Idaho Phase II permittees considering a pilot will find the product ready for their program.
If your city or county is an Idaho Phase II permittee and you'd like to talk through how the product would map to your specific program, the easiest path is a pilot. The pilot is how we both find out whether NPDESTracker fits how your program actually runs.
06 · Pricing for Idaho cities
Procurement-friendly pricing.
Three clear paths, sized to fit municipal budgets and procurement processes:
-
Free interactive demo
Self-serve, browse-only, sample data. No signup or call required. Try the demo.
-
90-day pilot at $4,900 flat (or $2,500 Founding City)
Procurement-card-friendly pricing for small Phase II cities. Founding City rate reserved for the first five paid pilot cities. Pilot fee credits to year one if you convert.
-
Annual plans from $10,000/year for small municipal teams
Larger deployments quoted around your team, modules in scope, and onboarding needs. Full pricing posture.
Founding City program
For the first 5 paid pilot cities, this is a partnership.
The Founding City rate isn't a perpetual discount. It's the trade-off for being early. You take the risk of being among the first, and we treat you as a founding partner during the formative period.
- $2,500 pilot rate, against the standard $4,900
- Founder-led setup walkthrough during pilot kickoff
- Direct access to the founder through the 90 days
- Your input shapes the roadmap. Features early customers ask for ship sooner
After the pilot, annual pricing starts at our standard floor for small programs and is quoted around your scope for larger ones. The $2,500 is the pilot rate, not the annual program.
Email admin@npdestracker.com with subject "Founding City pilot inquiry" if your city would be a fit.
