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.

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

I. 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

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:

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.
The public education and outreach BMPs that will be undertaken include
1) Produce and distribute information on illicit discharges, erosion, shoreline management,
composting and pollution prevention and other applicable BMPs utilized in the SWPPP.
This information may be distributed through City mailings, newsletters, bill stuffing, and
on the City website
2) Incorporate public information on the SWPPP issues into a separate page on the City's
website. The web page would specifically descnbc the SWPPP, each minimum control
measure, the goals and actions planned by the City, provide links to BMPs, articles on
each control measure, and collect feedback from site visitors.
3) Provide training opportunities for City staff including erosion control, BMPs, good
housekeeping, and pollution prevention. Training topics could include, but are not
limited to.
a) Mn/DOT Erosion Control Certification
b) Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program Workshops
c) Best Management Practices Workshops
d) Brochures and publications distnbuted to staff
MCM 2.0 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION /INVOLVEMENT
This minimum control measure requires that the City provide measures to receive public input
and opinion on the adequacy of the SWPPP. This input can be received from public meetings,
oral testimony, and wntten correspondence. To reach this goal, the City anticipates
implementing the following BMPs:
1) Conduct an annual public meeting on the City's Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Program and solicit opinion on the plan and consider written and oral input on the
adequacy of the SWPPP.
2) The City intends to incorporate public information on SWPPP issues into a separate
page on the City's website. The web page would specifically describe the SWPPP, each

minimum control measure, the goals and actions planned by the City, provide links to
BMPs, articles on each control measure, and collect feedback from site visitors.
MCM 3.0 ILLICIT DISCHARGE DETECTION AND ELIMINATION
A number of BMPs have been developed to implement and enforce a program to detect and
eliminate illicit discharges into the municipal separate storm sewer system. These BMPs
include.
I) Review existing city ordinances relating to illicit discharges, and develop /adopt an illicit
discharge ordinance (if necessary).
2) Utilize volunteer organizations to collect trash and debris from roadsides and storm
sewer ditches.
3) Annually update all identified City -owned storm sewer conveyances (24" or greater) to
reflect changes or additions to the storm sewer system. This will also identify all
outfalls and discharge points leaving the City
4) Continue to visually inspect and record all reported non stormwater discharges within 24
hours of discovery and/or report.
5) Train City staff, implement procedures, and incorporate BMPs in handling equipment
and hazardous materials used by the City.
MCM 4.0 CONSTRUCTION SITE STORM WATER RUNOFF CONTROL
A number of BMPs have been developed and will be implemented and enforced to reduce
pollutants and storm water runoff from construction activities with land disturbances equal to or
greater than one acre. These BMPs include:
1) Review current permit stipulations /City codes relating to project specific erosion and
sediment control (update as necessary)
2) Every applicant for a City permit to allow land disturbing activities must submit a
project specific stormwater management plan (if applicable) and/or erosion control plan
to the City.
3) Provide a phone number, website, and point of contact for the public to report storm
water pollution issues. Staff procedures for stormwater non compliance are defined in
BMP sununary sheet 4e -1
4) Construction site operators must conform to NPDES Phase II, watershed district, and
City ordinances pertaining to erosion and sediment controls and waste controls.
