Texas Phase II
Texas Phase II MS4 software for the TCEQ Small MS4 General Permit.
TCEQ administers the Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Small MS4 General Permit around the same federal six Minimum Control Measures NPDESTracker is built around — inspections, IDDE, tasks, GIS context, and annual-report evidence in one connected workspace.

02 · Built for Texas Phase II
Four pieces of the work Texas MS4 teams run every year.
Phase II programs in Texas carry the same six federal Minimum Control Measures as elsewhere, with TCEQ handling the state-level administration through TPDES. The annual report goes to TCEQ as the Texas permitting authority. NPDESTracker is built around the parts the program touches every week.
Inspections + GIS
Mobile-friendly inspections for catch basins, outfalls, construction sites, and source-control facilities, with photos and GPS attached to the record. Sites carry their inspection history alongside the spatial layer.
IDDE complaint-to-closure
One thread per incident from complaint intake through dry-weather screening, source tracing, enforcement, and closure. The outfall timeline builds over the years.
Post-construction BMP tracking
A live BMP inventory with annual inspection cadence, deficient-finding follow-up, and maintenance records. The bookkeeping that holds up when the BMP changes ownership.
Annual reporting evidence
Counts and narratives that trace back to the inspections, IDDE incidents, BMP records, and outreach activities that produced them. Smart Draft starts narrative answers from records already linked; staff approve every saved answer.

03 · How it maps to TCEQ
Aligned to the six Minimum Control Measures TCEQ administers.
Texas Phase II permittees operate under the TCEQ TPDES Small MS4 General Permit. The product's data structures and workflows align to the six federal Minimum Control Measures that frame the permit. The annual report goes to TCEQ as the Texas permitting authority. NPDESTracker does not submit reports to TCEQ; submission stays with the human at the agency on TCEQ's submission channel.
Public Education and Outreach
Documented education events, audiences reached, and materials distributed across the reporting year.
Public Involvement and Participation
Public meetings, comment periods, volunteer programs, and partner outreach captured as structured records.
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.

06 · How this maps to Texas programs
The Phase II framework runs the same in Texas.
NPDESTracker gives municipal stormwater teams a connected workspace for inspections, sites, tasks, enforcement drafts, GIS context, and annual-report evidence. Texas-specific permit terminology, dropdowns, and forms are configured during setup so the workspace reads the way TCEQ-issued programs run.
Records stay yours. Records export as CSV and, where applicable, GeoJSON on every tier — useful when a Phase II program needs to hand evidence to TCEQ or to a consulting engineer. The submission step itself stays with the human at the agency on TCEQ's submission channel; NPDESTracker does not submit on a program's behalf.
Browser-based MS4 software — mobile web works today on phones and tablets; a native iOS field app for offline inspections is planned. If your city or special district is a Texas Phase II permittee and you'd like to talk through how the workspace would map to your program, open the sample workspace first, then email admin@npdestracker.com about an evaluation workspace.
