NEW BUSINESS
9.a. Illicit Discharge Ordinance
City Engineer Brotzler stated that as part of the City's Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plan (SWPPP) enforced by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency under the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), the City is required to establish a
program to identify and eliminate illicit and non -storm water discharges entering the storm
sewer system. Richard Hibbard with WSB Associates provided information about illicit
discharges, effects of illicit discharges, federal requirements and a summary of the ordinance.
Council Member Weisensel questioned what enforcement actions have been in place prior to
adoption of this ordinance. Mr. Brotzler stated that the City's ability has not been as clearly
defined without such an ordinance in place. He added that through development
agreements, erosion control requirements and letters of credits staff has had the ability to
enforce standards. Council Member Weisensel questioned who determines what is included
as an illicit discharge. Mr. Brotzler stated that the determination would be considered by the
City Engineer and City Administrator and possibly consultation from the City Attorney for
legal consideration.
Mayor Droste questioned if a permit was required to discharge items into the sewer system.
Mr. Brotzler explained there was no specific permit required. City Attorney LeFevere
provided additional information on controlling what is allowed in the storm sewer system.
ROSEMOUNT CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING PROCEEDINGS
MAY 5, 2009
Council Member Bills questioned if the ordinance includes a penalty clause. Mr. LeFevere
stated language regarding a penalty was included at the end of the ordinance Council
Member Weisensel questioned if there was a permit needed to drain pools into the storm
sewer system. He also questioned the amount of chlorine that is included. Mr. Brotzler
stated that if there was an issue the City would have the ability to enforce the standards but
noted the City would not want to limit residents on draining water from their pools. He
would provide more information about the chlorine levels at the second reading.
Council Member Bills inquired about receiving information on the practices of other cities
that have adopted a similar ordinance Mr. LeFevere stated the ordinance was drafted
similar to model ordinance used in other cities. It is a legal requirement to have the
ordinance in place and gives the cities tools to enforce issues. He added that he was not
aware of another city having issues with enforcing the ordinance.
Council Member Weisensel requested additional information on monitoring the agricultural
land and to ensure that the City was not assuming enforcement over agricultural land that
now is a state responsibility. Discussion was held about the liability issues of the ordinance.
