Brotzler, P.E., City Engineer s AGE T i ATTACHMENTS: Permit APPROVED BY: l i0 RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve the NPDES General Stormwater permit and SWPPP and authorize the execution of the permit. 9 ROSEMOUNT BACKGROUND: CITY COUNCIL City Council Meeting: May 16, 2006 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2003, the Mmnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) adopted rules requiring MS4 (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems) cities to submit a NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Ehmmation System) general stormwater permit that targeted the reduction of stormwater runoff pollution. Since the submittal of this pemmt by the City m March of 2003, the MPCA has been in a legal dispute over management of this program. In 2005, the disputed issues were settled and as a result, the MPCA was required to release a new permit that is due by June 1, 2006. Updates to this permit include minor changes to the BMP's (Best Management Pracuces) required and the inclusion of "non- degradation" requirements. As before, the permit includes the City's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) with minimum control measures and BMP's for reducing stormwater runoff pollution and illicit discharges. Per the permit, the City is required to submit an annual report of activities to adhere to or work towards the implementation of the BMP's. The annual report is due June 30, 2006 and will be presented to Council at a future meeting. Attached for Council information is a copy of the NPDES General Stormwater Permit and overview of the City's SWPPP. The full SWPPP plan with individual BMP's is on file in the engineering department. SUMMARY: At this time, Staff is requesting Council approval of the NPDES General Stormwater Permit and SWPPP for submittal to the MPCA by June 1, 2006. G \NPDES PH II \2006 Permit and SWPPP \CC Memo 5 -16-06 doc Application Instructions for General Stormwater Permit Number MN R 040000 for Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) The Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit requires that you develop, implement and enforce a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) designed to reduce the discharge of pollutants from your small MS4 to protect water quality, and to satisfy the appropriate water quality requirements of the Clean Water Act to the Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP) What the Application Means Submission of this application is notice that you, as the owner and/or operator identified on the application, intend to comply with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit Number MN R 040000 (Permit). This Permit is issued for stormwater discharges associated with operation of a MS4 in the State of Minnesota. The application provides a certification to ensure that the owner /operator has completed the Permit application requirements —and accompanying SWPPP —and will comply with the terms of the MS4 Permit. (hi Minnesota, the MPCA Permit application is equivalent to the United States Environmental Protection Agency Notice of Intent.) Starting the Process The general stormwater Permit for your MS4 is the start of a five -year process to develop and implement a plan to control, reduce and minimize the discharge of pollutants from your MS4. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) requires that you implement Best Management Practices (BMP) including educational programs. During this five -year process, you will evaluate and receive public input on the BMPs to improve their effectiveness. The evaluation and input process will lead to more effective programs, which will ultimately result in improved water quality in the receiving waters. Special Situations If your MS4 discharges to a Prohibited Water, a Restricted Water, a Trout Water, Lake Trout Lake, a Scientific and Natural Area, or a Calcareous Fen, you must include a map outlining all outfalls to such waters. A mapping tool to locate these waters is available at the MPCA Web site at http /www pca.state.mn.us /water/ stormwater/stormwater html. Refer to this map when you complete Section W of the application. Format of the Application The application form is available in two formats: (1) a Microsoft Word document that can be filled out electronically or by hand; and (2) a PDF document. If you choose the Microsoft Word document, the necessary fields will expand automatically as you enter information without changing the format of the document Additional pages can be added as necessary. If you choose to fill out the application by hand, please type or punt clearly. Illegible or incomplete applications will be returned. 1. MS4 Information (See Part 1 of the Permit Application) A. Application Type Check the `New applicant" check box if your MS4 has no previous application for MS4 coverage on file at MPCA Check the "Application for re- issuance of coverage" check box if your MS4 applied for coverage in 2003 B.

INTRODUCTION CITY OF ROSEMOUNT MS4 SWPPP This Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) has been prepared in conformance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System NPDES), Phase 1I Rules and is in compliance with the provisions of the Clean Water Act, as amended, (33 U.S.0 1251ET SEQ; hereafter, the "Act"), 40 CFR 122, 123, and 124, as amended, ET SEQ; Minnesota Statutes Chapters 115 and 116, as amended and Minnesota Rules, Chapter 7001. The urbanized area covered by this SWPPP is shown in Figure 1 The goal of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit is to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of waters of the state through management and treatment of urban storm water runoff. The Depai ttuent of Natural Resources Wetland and Waters, and the wetlands identified in the National Wetland Inventory located within the project area are shown in Figure 2 3. This program requires that this be accomplished through the management of Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) through the preparation of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP). The SWPPP identifies the goals and the Best Management Practices (BMPs) that will be undertaken to meet the requirements of the NPDES Phase II rules. Measurable goals have been established for each of the BMPs included in the SWPPP along with an implementation plan and the persons responsible for implementing the BMPs. This SWPPP has been prepared to manage and reduce the discharge of pollutants from MS4s to the maximum extent practicable (MEP). This will be accomplished through the implementation of the BMPs outlined within this SWPPP. These BMPs could be a combination of education, maintenance, control techniques, system design and engineering methods, and other such provisions that are appropriate to meet the requirements of the NPDES Phase II permit. BMPs have been prepared to address each of the six minimum control measures as outlined in the rules. These six minimum control measures are 1. Public education and outreach on storm water impacts. 2. Public participation/involvement. 3. Illicit discharge detection and elimination. 4. Construction site stormwater runoff control. 5. Post construction storm water management in new development and redevelopment. 6. Pollution prevention /good housekeeping for municipal operations. For each of these six minimum control measures, appropnate BMPs have been identified along with measurable goals, an implementation schedule, and the persons responsible to complete each measure City of Rosemount Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Pollution Prevention Program Page 1 IrM411•41.11191110•710_1••••• MAIM* EMI In26111,111 FM F W I556}deISMMSLip2_FWI m J MIN W 2000 II 3C 44AM 1 ok �:�je nriddirasir arkoltira Nt O r ro w VI PO m e et ,tr M. n y N[ N10155611W19NgF 1p1_MM nu My d 20211 MYW m CITY OF ROSEMOUNT MS4 SWPPP II. MUNICIPAL SEPARATE STORM SEWER SYSTEM EVALUATION An evaluation of the storm sewer system was completed to determine the factors affecting the Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP) standards set forth within the NPDES Phase II Rule Factors which were used in developing the BMPs outlined in this SWPPP were as follows: 1. Sources of pollutants 2. Potential polluting activities being conducted in the watershed 3 Sensitivity of receiving waters and wetlands within the system 4. Intended uses of receiving waters 5. Local concems and storm w ater issues 6. The size of the MS4, the available staff, and the number of residents 7. BMP implementation schedules 8. Ability to finance storm water related programs 9. Hydraulics and hydrology of the watershed 10. Geology 11. Ability to finance and perform operation and maintenance of the MS4 12. Land uses 13. Development and redevelopment expectations 14. Watershed charactenstics 15. Organizational structure of the municipal operator hi conformance with the requirements for the preparation of the SWPPP, a number of non -storm water discharges were evaluated to determine if they are significant contnbutors of pollutants to the storm sewer system Non -storm water discharges which were evaluated include: 1. Flushing of municipal waterlines 2. Residential, commercial and agricultural landscape irrigation 3. Stream flow diversions 4. Groundwater outputs and nsmg elevations 5. Uncontaminated pumped ground water 6. Uncontaminated groundwater infiltration 7. Filtration backwash from municipal water treatment facility 8. Discharge of foundation drains into the MS4 9. Potable water source discharges 10. Condensation from air conditioning units 11. Car washing by individual residents 12. Discharges from the chlorinated swimming pools 13. Wash water from street sweeping activities 14. Water discharged from firefighting activities These sources of non -storm water inputs into the municipal separate storm sewer system were determined not to be significant contnbutors of pollutants. Therefore, BMPs will not be prepared to address these storm water discharges The City of Rosemount has developed this SWPPP, and the Best Management Practices within it, to reach the goal of reducing the discharge of pollutants to the "maximum extent practicable." City of Rosemount Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Pollution Prevention Program Page 5 CITY OF ROSEMOUNT MS4 SWPPP This SWPPP incorporates new activities and existing practices to develop a program, designed to protect water quality as required by the Clean Water Act The BMPs included within this SWPPP, are the results of the City carefully and thoughtfully evaluating the storm water discharges within their Jurisdiction, and as a result believe implementation of these BMPs meet the prescribed "maximum extent practicable" standard. III. STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PROGRAM This Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) outlines the Best Management Practices (BMPs) which are appropriate for the City of Rosemount to control or reduce the pollutants in storm water runoff to the maximum extent practicable. This SWPPP was developed based on the factors previously discussed within the areas tnbutary to the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System. The City of Rosemount reserves the nght to amend and/or delete the descnbed BMPs based on the availability of funding for this program. Furthermore, the City may coordinate the responsibility of selected BMPs with other governing agencies such as community groups, non- profit organizations, soil and water conservation districts, watershed districts, watershed management organizations, school distncts, University of Minnesota Extension, or county, regional, state, and federal government programs, which represent storm water within the City. Best Management Practices (BMPs) have been prepared for each of the six minimum control measures. A description of each BMP, an implementation schedule, measurable goals that determine the success or benefit, and the person responsible to complete each BMP is included in Section II. A description of the six minimum control measures and the BMPs which have been developed to meet the requirements of each minimum control measure are outlined in the following pages: City of Rosemount Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Pollution Prevention Program Page 6 CITY OF ROSEMOUNT MS4 SWPPP MCM 1.0 PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH ON STORMWATER IMPACTS The public education program has been developed to distribute educational materials to the community or conduct equivalent outreach activities The BMPs identified will focus on the impact of storm water discharges on streams, rivers, and wetlands, and the steps that the public can take to reduce pollutants in storm water runoff These activities have been prepared to individually address each of the six minimum control measures. For each minimum control measure, the education program identifies the audience or audiences involved, educational goals for each audience, activities used to reach educational goals for each audience, activity implementation plans, including responsible persons in charge, entities responsible for given activities, and schedules and performance measures that can be used to deternune success in reaching educational goals.
