ATTACHMENTS: Application APPROVED BY:
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize the submittal of the MS4 SWPPP Application for
Reauthorization.
ISSUE
Attached for City Council's review and consideration is the draft MS4 SWPPP Application for
Reauthorization that is due December 2013, 150 days from the permit reissuance date of August 1, 2013.
BACKGROUND
At the August 12, 2013 Utility Commission meeting,the Commission authorized the preparation of the
MS4 SWPPP Application for Reauthorization for the NPDES/SDS General Small Municipal Separate
Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit MNR040000.
• The MS4 permit is mandated and administered by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
• The permit requirements address federal regulations for stormwater management and discharges.
• The original 5-year MS4 permit issued by the MPCA in 2006 expired in 2011. Communities have
been operating under the original expired permit since this time.
• This application for reauthorization is for a 5-year permit that was reissued by the MPCA on
August 1, 2013.
• Main issues addressed by the MPCA in the permit include the following:
o Impaired waters and total maximum daily loads
o Construction stormwater erosion and sediment control
o Post construction best management practice (BMP) operation and maintenance
o System mapping
o Non-degradation
o Minimum control measures for education
• The draft application was reviewed by the Utility Commission and its November 18th meeting.
• The Utility Commission adopted a motion recommending City Council authorization for submittal
of the application.
Following the submittal of the reauthorization form, a scope will be developed for the preparation of an
implementation plan to be initiated in early 2014.

practices (e.g., infiltration, evapotranspiration, reuse/harvesting, conservation design, urban
forestry, green roofs, etc.), necessary to meet the following conditions on the site of a
construction activity to the Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP):
a. For new development projects – no net increase from pre-project conditions (on an annual
Yes No
average basis) of:
1) Stormwater discharge volume, unless precluded by the stormwater management
limitations in the Permit (Part III.D.5.a(3)(a)).
2) Stormwater discharges of Total Suspended Solids (TSS).

a. Limitations
1) Prohibit the use of infiltration techniques to achieve the conditions for post-construction
Yes No
stormwater management in the Permit (Part III.D.5.a(2)) when the infiltration structural
stormwater BMP will receive discharges from, or be constructed in areas:
a) Where industrial facilities are not authorized to infiltrate industrial stormwater under
an NPDES/SDS Industrial Stormwater Permit issued by the MPCA.
b) Where vehicle fueling and maintenance occur.
c) With less than three (3) feet of separation distance from the bottom of the
infiltration system to the elevation of the seasonally saturated soils or the top of
bedrock.
d) Where high levels of contaminants in soil or groundwater will be mobilized by the
infiltrating stormwater.
Yes No
2) Restrict the use of infiltration techniques to achieve the conditions for post-construction

stormwater management in the Permit (Part III.D.5.a(2)), without higher engineering
review, sufficient to provide a functioning treatment system and prevent adverse
impacts to groundwater, when the infiltration device will be constructed in areas:
a) With predominately Hydrologic Soil Group D (clay) soils.
b) Within 1,000 feet up-gradient, or 100 feet down-gradient of active karst features.
c) Within a Drinking Water Supply Management Area (DWSMA) as defined in Minn.

d) Where soil infiltration rates are more than 8.3 inches per hour.
3) For linear projects where the lack of right-of-way precludes the installation of volume Yes No
control practices that meet the conditions for post-construction stormwater management
in the Permit (Part III.D.5.a(2)), the permittee’s regulatory mechanism(s) may allow
exceptions as described in the Permit (Part III.D.5.a(3)(b)). The permittee’s regulatory
mechanism(s) shall ensure that a reasonable attempt be made to obtain right-of-way
during the project planning process.
Mitigation provisions:
4. The permittee’s regulatory mechanism(s) shall ensure that any
stormwater discharges of TSS and/or TP not addressed on the site of the original construction
activity are addressed through mitigation and, at a minimum, shall ensure the following
requirements are met:
a. Mitigation project areas are selected in the following order of preference:
Yes No
1) Locations that yield benefits to the same receiving water that receives runoff from the
original construction activity.
2) Locations within the same Minnesota Department of Natural Resource (DNR)
‐
catchment area as the original construction activity.
3) Locations in the next adjacent DNR catchment area upstream
4) Locations anywhere within the permittee’s jurisdiction.
b. Mitigation projects must involve the creation of new structural stormwater BMPs or the
Yes No
retrofit of existing structural stormwater BMPs, or the use of a properly designed regional
structural stormwater BMP.
c. Routine maintenance of structural stormwater BMPs already required by this permit cannot
Yes No
be used to meet mitigation requirements of this part.
d. Mitigation projects shall be completed within 24 months after the start of the original Yes No
construction activity.
e. The permittee shall determine, and document, who will be responsible for long-term Yes No
maintenance on all mitigation projects of this part.
f. If the permittee receives payment from the owner and/or operator of a construction activity Yes No
for mitigation purposes in lieu of the owner or operator of that construction activity meeting
the conditions for post-construction stormwater management in Part III.D.5.a(2), the
permittee shall apply any such payment received to a public stormwater project, and all
projects must be in compliance with Part III.D.5.a(4)(a)-(e).
5.
Long-term maintenance of structural stormwater BMPs:
The permittee’s regulatory
mechanism(s) shall provide for the establishment of legal mechanisms between the permittee
and owners or operators responsible for the long-term maintenance of structural stormwater
BMPs not owned or operated by the permittee, that have been implemented to meet the
conditions for post-construction stormwater management in the Permit (Part III.D.5.a(2)). This
only includes structural stormwater BMPs constructed after the effective date of this permit and
that are directly connected to the permittee’s MS4, and that are in the permittee’s jurisdiction.
The legal mechanism shall include provisions that, at a minimum:
a. Allow the permittee to conduct inspections of structural stormwater BMPs not owned or Yes No
operated by the permittee, perform necessary maintenance, and assess costs for those
structural stormwater BMPs when the permittee determines that the owner and/or operator
of that structural stormwater BMP has not conducted maintenance.
b. Include conditions that are designed to preserve the permittee’s right to ensure maintenance Yes No
responsibility, for structural stormwater BMPs not owned or operated by the permittee, when
those responsibilities are legally transferred to another party.
c. Include conditions that are designed to protect/preserve structural stormwater BMPs and Yes No
site features that are implemented to comply with the Permit (Part III.D.5.a(2)). If site
configurations or structural stormwater BMPs change, causing decreased structural
stormwater BMP effectiveness, new or improved structural stormwater BMPs must be
implemented to ensure the conditions for post-construction stormwater management in the
Permit (Part III.D.5.a(2)) continue to be met.
