CHAPTER 1

NORTH OGDEN CITY - UTR090058 STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN

Purpose The purpose of the Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) is to develop, implement, and enforce a plan designed to reduce the discharge of pollutants from the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer (MS4), protect water quality, and satisfy the appropriate water quality requirements of the Utah Water Quality Act. The development and implementation of the SWMP is to fulfill requirements under the State of Utah Small MS4 General UPDES Permit No. UTR090000 (hereafter referred to as the General Permit) in accordance with Section 402(p)(3)(B) of the Federal Clean Water Act, and the State of Utah Storm Water Regulations (UAC R317-8-3.8). North Ogden City is a Renewal Permittee and is required to submit a revised SWMP document by December 1, 2010. This General Permit applies to cities with populations less than 100,000 located within or partially within, an urbanized area and that operate a MS4 which discharges to a water of the State of Utah. Urbanized areas are defined as population centers with greater than 50,000 people and densities of at least 1,000 people per square mile, and are based on the 2000 census. For future permits, the urbanized area will be based on the most recent federal census. North Ogden City falls under this requirement by way of being located in Weber County. Responsible Person(s) Gary Kerr & Mel Blanchard North Ogden City, Public Works Department 505 East 2600 North North Ogden, UT 84414 (801) 782-7211 SWMP Documentation, Review, and Modification Section 4.1.2 of the General Permit states “Within 90 days after the coverage from this permit is granted, each Permittee shall have an ongoing documentation process for gathering, maintaining, and using information to conduct planning, set priorities, track the development and implementation of the SWMP, evaluate Permit compliance/non-compliance, and evaluate the effectiveness of the SWMP implementation.” In an effort to comply with this requirement the City maintains a storm water map which shows all the existing piping and conveyance structures. This map will be updated yearly with the city engineers to show all new piping, conveyance structures, locations of illicit discharges, outfall locations, and any other relevant information that can be used to ensure permit compliance. The City also uses several documents to track inspections required for permit compliance. These inspection forms and all other documentation used to show permit compliance will be kept in one central location, either in hard-copy files or electronically, where all employees can access them. All documentation will be kept for the entire permit term (five years).

This SWMP includes the Best Management Practices (BMPs), and measurable goals intended to reduce the quantity of storm water and the discharge of pollutants to the storm water system. The SWMP will be reviewed, at a minimum, on an annual basis and any changes or modifications will be described and submitted to the State Division of Water Quality as part of the Annual Report. This review will include the following:

• A review of the status of program implementation and compliance • A review of any revision or change of BMPs during the year and an assessment of the

effectiveness of such revision • A review of all documentation collected including; number and type of inspections

performed, official enforcement actions taken, and types of public education activities implemented

• An overall assessment of the goals and direction of the SWMP and effectiveness of BMPs

• A review of questions asked on the Annual Report and address deficient areas as part of the SWMP

• A review of the capital and operating and maintenance expenses and a determination of funds needed to comply with this requirement of the Clean Water Act

Changes adding (but not subtracting or replacing) components, controls, or requirements to the SWMP document may be made at any time upon written notification to the State Division of Water Quality. Changes replacing an ineffective or unfeasible BMP specifically identified in the SWMP document with an alternate BMP may be adopted any time, provided the analysis is clearly outlined and subsequently approved by the Division. Further procedures for removing or replacing an ineffective or unfeasible BMP can be found in section 4.4 of the General Permit if the situation arises. Staffing and Resource Allocations Management and oversight of the Storm Water Management Plan is funded by the City’s Storm Sewer Utility and in some instances by the General Fund. The City is working in conjunction with two other parties for portions of the implementation of the Storm Water Management Plan: the Weber County Storm Water Coalition and the Weber-Morgan Health Department. North Ogden City funds a portion of the Storm Water Coalition’s expenses in exchange for educational supplies and community informational materials. The Weber-Morgan Health Department responds to complaints regarding spills and illegal discharges and follows up on the complaints with tracking and enforcement. Within the City many staff will contribute toward meeting permit requirements. Currently, the Storm Water Management Plan is primarily the responsibility of the Public Works Department. In order for the Plan to be successful support is needed and provided by all City staff. Section 4.1.2.2 of the General Permit states that “Each Permittee must secure the resources necessary to meet all requirements of this permit. Each Permittee must conduct an annual analysis of the capital and operation and maintenance expenditures needed, allocated, and spent as well as the necessary staff resources needed and allocated to meet the requirements of this permit, including any development, implementation, and enforcement activities required. Each Permittee must submit a summary of its fiscal analysis with each annual report.” City Administrators and the

City Council are primarily responsible for meeting the financial obligations required to make the Storm Water Management Plan successful. System Overview North Ogden City is located on the north end of Weber County. The population of the community was 15,027 at the 2000 census. The majority of the land use in the community is residential with some agricultural areas and very little commercial. The City was first settled in 1850 and was incorporated in 1934. The City has a total area of 6.5 square miles. A USGS map showing the City is shown at the end of this section. The storm drain system is composed of pipes, detention basins, ditches and canals. The two canals located within the City are the North Ogden Canal and the Ogden-Brigham canal. Most drainage exits the City to the south and west. The overall concerns, priorities, and goals of the City and this SWMP document are to protect the water quality of the streams, canals, and other water bodies in and around the City. Existing Program Summary North Ogden City is currently implementing and participating in several storm water programs that are designed to reduce pollution, including:

Public Education and Outreach o Weber County Storm Water Coalition participation o Educational material such as: newsletters, pamphlets, curb markers, etc. o Water Fair o Training for public works employees and contractors o TV advertisements

Public Involvement and Participation

o Storm drain inlet labeling projects o Community cleanup projects o Public is given opportunity to provide input before ordinances, resolutions or plans

impacting storm water are adopted in City Council Meetings.

Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination o Storm drain system map is kept in order to track illicit discharges and improper

disposals o An ordinance has been adopted prohibiting illicit discharges and defining penalties

for violations.

Construction Site Storm water Runoff Control o Construction site runoff ordinance and land disturbance guidelines for sites greater

than one acre are in place o Site plan review and permitting process for sites greater than one acre are performed

Post Construction Storm water Management o Specification that requires a maximum outlet rate of 0.1 cfs/acre in order to match

pre-development hydrology o Ordinance that gives the MS4 authority to inspect storm water projects and controls,

at all reasonable times, for storm water compliance

Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping o Street sweeping program in place o Salt pile management o Storm Water Pollution Plan for the Public Works Facility o Storm drain system maintenance program

The SWMP has been developed to meet the terms of the UPDES permit and consists of six minimum control measures established by EPA for Phase II storm water discharges, as well as meeting the special storm water needs within the City. Implementation of these control measures are expected to result in a reduction of pollutants discharged into receiving water bodies. These control measures are addressed in separate chapters. Each control measure contains tasks, measurable goals, and BMPs necessary for proper storm water management. The measurable goals contain specific tasks for meeting the objective of that control measure. The measurable goals are mandated by the EPA and a community must be showing improvement over time with these goals. This SWMP is intended to be a living document with tasks, goals, and BMPs added and deleted as new management practices arise and other management practices are found to be ineffective. Minimum Control Measures (MCM’S) The following six chapters of this document cover the Minimum Control Measures established by the EPA. All municipalities must address these measures. The six minimum Control Measures are as follows:

1. Public Education and Outreach on Storm Water Impacts 2. Public Involvement/Participation 3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) 4. Construction Site Storm Water Runoff Control 5. Post Construction Storm Water Management 6. Pollution Prevention and Good House Keeping for Municipal Operation

Each MCM is discussed in the order given with the associated tasks, measurable goals, BMPs, required resources, and the estimated implementation schedule. Much of the introductory information for each Minimum Control Measure has been gathered from the EPAs Stormwater Phase II Final Rule Fact Sheet Series which is an excellent resource for small MS4 operators. The fact sheets can be found at the following website: http://cfpub.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/swfinal.cfm.

CHAPTER 2

PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH

The Public Education and Outreach program addresses increasing public and professional awareness of water quality concerns and BMPs that may be implemented with respect to protection of the storm water within North Ogden City. These education and outreach training programs will introduce the UPDES program and focus on known contaminant sources and control of these sources.

An informed and knowledgeable community is crucial to the success of a storm water management program since it helps to ensure the following:

• Greater support for the program as the public gains a greater understanding of the reasons why it is necessary and important. Public support is particularly beneficial when operators of small MS4s attempt to institute new funding initiatives for the program or seek volunteers to help implement the program.

• Greater compliance with the program as the public becomes aware of the personal

responsibilities expected of them and others in the community, including the individual actions they can take to protect or improve the quality of area waters.

Three main actions areas are important for successful implementation of a public education and outreach program:

• Forming Partnerships - Operators of regulated small MS4s are encouraged to utilize partnerships with other governmental entities to fulfill this minimum control measure’s requirements. It is generally more cost-effective to use an existing program, or to develop a new regional or state-wide education program, than to have numerous operators developing their own local programs. Operators also are encouraged to seek assistance from non-governmental organizations (e.g., environmental, civic, and industrial organizations), since many already have educational materials and perform outreach activities.

• Using Educational Materials and Strategies - Operators of regulated small MS4s may

use storm water educational information provided by their State, EPA Region, or environmental, public interest, or trade organizations instead of developing their own materials. Operators should strive to make their materials and activities relevant to local situations and issues, and incorporate a variety of strategies to ensure maximum coverage. Some examples include: brochures or fact sheets, web sites, stickers, refrigerator magnets, posters, educational materials for community and school groups, educational programs for school-age children and storm drain stenciling.

• Reaching Diverse Audiences - The public education program should use a mix of

appropriate local strategies to address the viewpoints and concerns of a variety of audiences and communities. Directing materials or outreach programs toward specific groups of commercial, industrial, and institutional entities likely to have significant storm

water impacts is also recommended. For example, information could be provided to auto garages on the effects of dumping used oil into storm drains.

Measurable goals, which are required for each minimum control measure, are intended to gauge permit compliance and program effectiveness. The measurable goals, as well as the BMPs, should reflect the needs and characteristics of the operator and the area served by its small MS4. Furthermore, they should be chosen using an integrated approach that fully addresses the requirements and intent of the minimum control measure. Finally, they should allow the MS4 to make improvements to its program over each 5-year permit term by providing data on program successes and shortfalls. For example, an MS4 could encourage “do-ityourselfers” to recycle used motor oil by establishing and advertising a municipal drop-off center. The MS4 could measure progress toward this goal by tracking the amount of motor oil collected and correlating those data to the timing of public service announcements and other advertisements to see if their message is being received.

Public Participation an

CHAPTER 3

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND INVOLVEMENT

The public can provide valuable input and assistance to a regulated small City’s municipal storm water management program and should be given opportunities to play an active role in both the development and implementation of the program. An active and involved community is crucial to the success of a storm water management program because it allows for:

• Broader public support since citizens who participate in the development and decision making process are partially responsible for the program and, therefore, may be less likely to raise legal challenges to the program and more likely to take an active role in its implementation

• Shorter implementation schedules due to fewer obstacles in the form of public and legal

challenges and increased sources in the form of citizen volunteers

• A broader base of expertise and economic benefits since the community can be a valuable, and free, intellectual resource

Operators of regulated small MS4s should include the public in developing, implementing, updating, and reviewing their storm water management programs. The public participation program should make every effort to reach out and engage all economic and ethnic groups. There are challenges associated with public involvement. Nevertheless, these challenges can be addressed through an aggressive and inclusive program. Challenges and example practices that can help ensure successful participation are discussed below. The best way to handle common notification and recruitment challenges is to know the audience and think creatively about how to gain its attention and interest. Traditional methods of soliciting public input are not always successful in generating interest, and subsequent involvement, in all sectors of the community. For example, municipalities often rely solely on advertising in local newspapers to announce public meetings and other opportunities for public involvement. Since there may be large sectors of the population who do not read the local press, the audience reached may be limited. Therefore, alternative advertising methods should be used whenever possible, including announcements in neighborhood newsletters. In addition, advertising and soliciting help should be targeted at specific population sectors. The goal is to involve a diverse cross-section of people who can offer a multitude of concerns, ideas, and connections during the program development process. There are a variety of practices that could be incorporated into a public participation and involvement program, such as:

• Public meetings/citizen panels allow citizens to discuss various viewpoints and provide input concerning appropriate storm water management policies and BMPs

• Storm drain stenciling is an important and simple activity that concerned citizens, especially students, can do

• Community clean-ups along local waterways, beaches, and around storm drains

Measurable goals, which are required for each minimum control measure, are intended to gauge permit compliance and program effectiveness. The measurable goals, as well as the BMPs, greatly depend on the needs and characteristics of the operator and the area served by the small MS4. Furthermore, they should be chosen using an integrated approach that fully addresses the requirements and intent of the minimum control measure. For example, a City could identify a certain section of town has an incident of used motor oil dumping. The area also has numerous automotive businesses including small repair shops, large auto dealerships, gas stations, and body shops. The City could organize a public meeting to not only educate residents about storm water issues and permit requirements, but also to ask for input regarding possible dumping areas and to determine if the community needs an oil recycling facility or some other way to safely dispose of used motor oil. In this way, the City might better understand who the target audience is for illegal dumping control while implementing a valuable service for the community.

Illicit Discharge Detectio

CHAPTER 4

ILLICIT DISCHARGE DETECTION AND ELIMINATION

Federal regulations define an illicit discharge as “...any discharge to an MS4 that is not composed entirely of storm water...” with some exceptions. According to the General Permit these exceptions include the following:

• Water line flushing • Landscape irrigation • Diverted stream flows • Rising ground waters • Uncontaminated ground water

infiltration • Uncontaminated pumped ground

water • Discharges from potable water

sources • Fountain drains • Air conditioning condensate • Irrigation Water

• Springs • Water from crawl space pumps • Footing drains • Lawn watering runoff • Individual residential car washing • Flows from riparian habitats and

wetlands • Dechlorinated swimming pool

discharges • Residual street wash water • Dechlorinated water reservoir

discharges • Discharges/flows from firefighting

activity Other discharges that are not composed entirely of storm water are considered illicit discharges because MS4s are not designed to accept, process, or discharge such non-storm water wastes. Discharges from MS4s can include wastes and wastewater from non-storm water sources. Illicit discharges enter the system through either direct connections (e.g., wastewater piping either mistakenly or deliberately connected to the storm drains) or indirect connections (e.g., infiltration into the MS4 from cracked sanitary systems, spills collected by drain outlets, or paint or used oil dumped directly into a drain). The result is untreated discharges that contribute high levels of pollutants, including heavy metals, toxics, oil and grease, solvents, nutrients, viruses, and bacteria to receiving waterbodies. Pollutant levels from these illicit discharges have been shown in studies to be high enough to significantly degrade receiving water quality and threaten aquatic, wildlife, and human health. Recognizing the adverse effects illicit discharges can have on receiving waters, permitted MS4s are required to develop, implement and enforce an illicit discharge detection and elimination program. This program must include the following:

• A storm sewer system map, showing the location of all outfalls and the names and location of all waters of the United States that receive discharges from those outfalls

• Through an ordinance, or other regulatory mechanism, a prohibition (to the extent allowable under State or local law) on non-storm water discharges into the MS4, and appropriate enforcement procedures and actions

• A plan to detect and address non-storm water discharges, including illegal dumping, into the MS4

• The education of public employees, businesses, and the general public about the hazards associated with illegal discharges and improper disposal of waste

• The determination of appropriate best management practices (BMPs) and measurable goals for this minimum control measure.

The objective of the illicit discharge detection and elimination minimum control measure is to have regulated small MS4 operators gain a thorough awareness of their systems. This awareness allows them to determine the types and sources of illicit discharges entering their system; and establish the legal, technical, and educational means needed to eliminate these discharges. Permittees could meet these objectives in a variety of ways depending on their individual needs and abilities, but some general guidance for each requirement is provided below: A storm sewer system map is meant to demonstrate a basic awareness of the intake and discharge areas of the system. It is needed to help determine the extent of discharged dry weather flows, the possible sources of the dry weather flows, and the particular waterbodies these flows may be affecting. It is also recommended that all existing information on outfall locations be collected and shown on the map. Some permittees may have limited authority under State or local law to establish and enforce an ordinance or other regulatory mechanism prohibiting illicit discharges. In such a case, the permittee is encouraged to obtain the necessary authority, if possible. The plan to detect and address illicit discharges is the central component of this minimum control measure. The plan is dependent upon several factors, including the permittee’s available resources, size of staff, and degree and character of its illicit discharges. As guidance only, the four steps of a recommended plan are outlined below:

1. Locate Problem Areas - It is recommended that priority areas be identified for detailed screening of the system based on the likelihood of illicit connections (e.g., areas with older sanitary sewer lines). Methods that can locate problem areas include: visual screening; water sampling from manholes and outfalls during dry weather; the use of infrared and thermal photography, cross-training field staff to detect illicit discharges, and public complaints.

2. Find the Source - Once a problem area or discharge is found, additional efforts usually

are necessary to determine the source of the problem. Methods that can find the source of the illicit discharge include tracing the discharge upstream in the storm sewer and and using video to inspect the storm sewers.

3. Remove/Correct Illicit Connections - Once the source is identified, the offending

discharger should be notified and directed to correct the problem. Education efforts and working with the discharger can be effective in resolving the problem before taking legal action.

4. Document Actions Taken - As a final step, all actions taken under the plan should be

documented. This illustrates that progress is being made to eliminate illicit connections and discharges. Documented actions should be included in annual reports and include information such as: the number of outfalls screened; any complaints received and corrected; the number of discharges and the quantities of flow eliminated.

Studies have shown that one of the most-cost effective and efficient techniques that can be employed to identify and correct inappropriate discharges is to use the citizens of a community to report suspicious activities. Public education and labeling of outfalls and other storm drain infrastructure is an important element of establishing a successful citizen hotline. Outreach to public employees, businesses, property owners, the general public, and elected officials regarding ways to detect and eliminate illicit discharges is an integral part of this minimum measure. Suggested educational outreach efforts include:

• Developing informative brochures, and guidances for specific audiences (e.g., carpet cleaning businesses) and school curricula

• Designing a program to publicize and facilitate public reporting of illicit discharges

• Coordinating volunteers for locating, and visually inspecting, outfalls or to stencil storm drains

• Initiating recycling programs for commonly dumped wastes, such as motor oil, antifreeze, and pesticides

Measurable goals, which are required for each minimum control measure, are intended to gauge permit compliance and program effectiveness. The measurable goals, as well as the BMPs, should reflect the needs and characteristics of the operator and the area served by its small MS4. Furthermore, they should be chosen using an integrated approach that fully addresses the requirements and intent of the minimum control measure. For example, an MS4 could establish a measurable goal of responding to all complaints received by the citizen complaint hotline within 24 hours to minimize water quality impacts or recurrent dumping. A complaint tracking system could be used to log response and enforcement activity.

The educational outreach measurable goals for this minimum control measure could be combined with the measurable goals for the Public Education and Outreach minimum control measure.

CHATPER 5

CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL Polluted stormwater runoff from construction sites often flows to MS4s and ultimately is discharged into local rivers and streams. Pollutants of concern are; sediment, solid and sanitary wastes, oil and grease, concrete truck washout, construction chemicals, and constructions debris. Of the pollutants listed, sediment is usually the main pollutant of concern. During a short period of time, construction sites can contribute more sediment to streams than can be deposited naturally during several decades. The resulting siltation, and the contribution of other pollutants from construction sites, can cause physical, chemical, and biological harm to surrounding waters. For example, excess sediment can quickly fill rivers and lakes, requiring dredging and destroying aquatic habitats. An operator of a regulated small MS4 is required to develop, implement, and enforce a program to reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff to their MS4 from construction activities that result in a land disturbance of greater than or equal to one acre. The small MS4 operator is required to:

• Have an ordinance or other regulatory mechanism requiring the implementation of proper erosion and sediment controls, and controls for other wastes, on applicable construction sites

• Have procedures for site plan review of construction plans that consider potential water

quality impacts

• Have procedures for site inspection and enforcement of control measures

• Have sanctions to ensure compliance (established in the ordinance or other regulatory mechanism)

• Establish procedures for the receipt and consideration of information submitted by the

public

• Determine the appropriate best management practices (BMPs) and measurable goals for this minimum control measure. Suggested BMPs (i.e., the program actions/activities) and measurable goals

Further explanation and guidance for each component of a regulated small MS4’s construction program is provided below:

1. Regulatory Mechanism - Through the development of an ordinance or other regulatory mechanism, the small MS4 operator must establish a construction program that controls polluted runoff from construction sites with a land disturbance of greater than or equal to one acre.

2. Site Plan Review - The small MS4 operator must include in its construction program

requirements for the implementation of appropriate BMPs on construction sites to control erosion and sediment and other waste at the site. To determine if a construction site is in

compliance with such provisions, the small MS4 operator should review the site plans submitted by the construction site operator before ground is broken. Site plan review aids in compliance and enforcement efforts since it alerts the small MS4 operator early in the process to the planned use or non-use of proper BMPs and provides a way to track new construction activities. The tracking of sites is useful not only for the small MS4 operator’s recordkeeping and reporting purposes, which are required under their NPDES stormwater permit, but also for members of the public interested in ensuring that the sites are in compliance.

3. Inspections and Penalties - Once construction commences, BMPs should be in place

and the small MS4 operator’s enforcement activities should begin. To ensure that the BMPs are properly installed, the small MS4 operator is required to develop procedures for site inspection and enforcement of control measures to deter infractions. Procedures could include steps to identify priority sites for inspection and enforcement based on the nature and extent of the construction activity, topography, and the characteristics of soils and receiving water quality. Inspections give the MS4 operator an opportunity to provide additional guidance and education, issue warnings, or assess penalties. A website has been developed to use as a tool for builders and developers (www.cicacenter.org). Inspectors can use the Web site to find plain language explanations of the major environmental laws affecting the construction industry as well as guidance that can be distributed developers and construction site operators. To conserve staff resources, one possible option for small MS4 operators is to have inspections performed by the same inspector that visits the sites to check compliance with health and safety building codes.

Measurable goals, which are required for each minimum control measure, are intended to gauge permit compliance and program effectiveness. The measurable goals, as well as the BMPs, should reflect the needs and characteristics of the operator and the area served by its small MS4. Furthermore, they should be chosen using an integrated approach that fully addresses the requirements and intent of the minimum control measure. Measurable Goals Guidance for Phase II MS4s has been developed that is designed to help program managers comply with the requirement to develop measurable goals. The guidance presents an approach for MS4 operators to develop measurable goals as part of their stormwater management plan. For example, an MS4 program goal might be to educate at least 80 percent of all construction site operators and contractors about proper selection, installation, inspection, and maintenance of BMPs by the end of the permit term, which will help to ensure compliance with erosion and sediment control requirements. This goal could be tracked by documenting attendance at local, State, or Federal training programs. Attendance can be encouraged by decreasing permitting fees for those contractors who have been trained and provide proof of attendance when applying for permits.

POST-CONSTRUCTION RUNOFF CONTROL Post-construction stormwater management in areas undergoing new development or redevelopment is necessary because runoff from these areas has been shown to significantly affect receiving waterbodies. Studies indicate that prior planning and design for the minimization of pollutants in post-construction stormwater discharges is the most cost-effective approach to stormwater quality management. There are generally two forms of substantial impacts of post-construction runoff. The first is caused by an increase in the type and quantity of pollutants in stormwater runoff. As runoff flows over areas altered by development, it picks up harmful sediment and chemicals such as oil and grease, pesticides, heavy metals, and nutrients (e.g., nitrogen and phosphorus). These pollutants often become suspended in runoff and are carried to receiving waters, such as lakes, ponds, and streams. Once deposited, these pollutants can enter the food chain through small aquatic life, eventually entering the tissues of fish and humans. The second kind of post-construction runoff impact occurs by increasing the quantity of water delivered to the waterbody during storms. Increased impervious surfaces (e.g., parking lots, driveways, and rooftops) interrupt the natural cycle of gradual percolation of water through vegetation and soil. Instead, water is collected from surfaces such as asphalt and concrete and routed to drainage systems where large volumes of runoff quickly flow to the nearest receiving water. The effects of this process include streambank scouring and downstream flooding, which often lead to a loss of aquatic life and damage to property. An operator of a regulated small MS4 is required to develop, implement, and enforce a program to reduce pollutants in post-construction runoff to their MS4 from new development and redevelopment projects that result in the land disturbance of greater than or equal to 1 acre. The small MS4 operator is required to:

• Develop and implement strategies which include a combination of structural and/or non-structural best management practices (BMPs)

• Have an ordinance or other regulatory mechanism requiring the implementation of post-

construction runoff controls to the extent allowable under State or local law

• Ensure adequate long-term operation and maintenance of controls

• Determine the appropriate best management practices and measurable goals for this minimum control measure

The stormwater requirements apply to “redevelopment” projects that alter the “footprint” of an existing site or building in such a way that there is a disturbance of equal to or greater than 1 acre of land. Redevelopment projects do not include such activities as exterior remodeling. Because redevelopment projects may have site constraints not found on new development sites, the requirements provide flexibility for implementing post-construction controls on redevelopment sites. Structural and non-structural BMPs can be used to satisfy the requirements of the post-

construction control measure. It is important to recognize that many BMPs are climate-specific and not all BMPs can be used in every geographic area. Because the requirements of this measure are closely tied to the requirements of the construction site runoff control minimum measure it is recommended that small MS4 operators develop and implement these two measures in tandem.

o Non-Structural BMPs

• Planning Procedures. Runoff problems can be addressed efficiently with sound planning procedures. Local master plans, comprehensive plans, and zoning ordinances can promote improved water quality in many ways, such as guiding the growth of a community away from sensitive areas to areas that can support it without compromising water quality.

• Site-Based BMPs. These BMPs can include buffer strip and riparian zone

preservation, minimization of disturbance and imperviousness, and maximization of open space.

o Structural BMPs

• Stormwater Retention/Detention BMPs. Retention or detention BMPs control

stormwater by gathering runoff in wet ponds, dry basins, or multichamber catch basins and slowly releasing it to receiving waters or drainage systems. These practices can be designed to both control stormwater volume and settle out particulates for pollutant removal.

• Infiltration BMPs. Infiltration BMPs are designed to facilitate the percolation of

runoff through the soil to ground water, and, thereby, result in reduced stormwater runoff quantity and reduced mobilization of pollutants. Examples include infiltration basins/trenches, dry wells, and porous pavement.

• Vegetative BMPs. Vegetative BMPs are landscaping features that, with optimal

design and good soil conditions, remove pollutants, and facilitate percolation of runoff, thereby maintaining natural site hydrology, promoting healthier habitats, and increasing aesthetic appeal. Examples include grassy swales, filter strips, artificial wetlands, and rain gardens.

Measurable goals, which are required for each minimum control measure, are intended to gauge permit compliance and program effectiveness. The measurable goals, as well as the BMPs, should reflect needs and characteristics of the operator and the area served by its small MS4. Furthermore, the measurable goals should be chosen using an integrated approach that fully addresses the requirements and intent of the minimum control measure. For example, an MS4 program goal might be to reduce by 30 percent the road surface areas directly connected to storm sewer systems (using traditional curb and gutter infrastructure) in new developments and redevelopment areas over the course of the first permit term. Using “softer” stormwater conveyance approaches, such as grassy swales, will increase infiltration and decrease the volume and velocity of runoff leaving development sites. Progress toward the goal could be measured by

tracking the linear feet of curb and gutter not installed in development projects that historically would have been used.

CHAPTER 7

POLLUTION PREVENTION/GOOD HOUSEKEEPING The Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for municipal operations minimum control measure is a key element of the small MS4 stormwater management program. This measure requires the small MS4 operator to examine and subsequently alter their own actions to help ensure a reduction in the amount and type of pollution that: (1) collects on streets, parking lots, open spaces, and storage and vehicle maintenance areas and is discharged into local waterways; and (2) results from actions such as environmentally damaging land development and flood management practices or poor maintenance of storm sewer systems. While this measure is meant primarily to improve or protect receiving water quality by altering municipal or facility operations, it also can result in a cost savings for the small MS4 operator, since proper and timely maintenance of storm sewer systems can help avoid repair costs from damage caused by age and neglect. Recognizing the benefits of pollution prevention practices, the rule requires an operator of a regulated small MS4 to:

• Develop and implement an operation and maintenance program with the ultimate goal of preventing or reducing pollutant runoff from municipal operations into the storm sewer system

• Include employee training on how to incorporate pollution prevention/good housekeeping

practices into municipal operations such as park and open space maintenance, fleet and building maintenance, new construction and land disturbances, and stormwater system maintenance. To minimize duplication of effort and conserve resources, the MS4 operator can use training materials that are available from the EPA, the State, or County Stormwater Coalitions

• Determine the appropriate best management practices (BMPs) and measureable goals for

this minimum control measure. The intent of this control measure is to ensure that existing municipal, State or Federal operations are performed in ways that will minimize contamination of stormwater discharges. The small MS4 operator to consider the following components when developing their program for this measure:

• Maintenance activities, maintenance schedules, and long-term inspection procedures for structural and non-structural controls to reduce floatables and other pollutants discharged from the separate storm sewers

• Controls for reducing or eliminating the discharge of pollutants from areas such as

roads and parking lots, maintenance and storage yards (including salt/sand storage and snow disposal areas), and waste transfer stations. These controls could include programs

that promote recycling (to reduce litter), minimize pesticide use, and ensure the proper disposal of animal waste

• Procedures for the proper disposal of waste removed from separate storm sewer systems

and areas listed in the bullet above, including dredge spoil, accumulated sediments, floatables, and other debris

• Ways to ensure that new flood management projects assess the impacts on water

quality and examine existing projects for incorporation of additional water quality protection devices or practices. EPA encourages coordination with flood control managers for the purpose of identifying and addressing environmental impacts from such projects

The effective performance of this control measure hinges on the proper maintenance of the BMPs used, particularly for the first two bullets above. For example, structural controls, such as grates on outfalls to capture floatables, typically need regular cleaning, while non-structural controls, such as training materials and recycling programs, need periodic updating. Measurable goals, which are required for each minimum control measure, are meant to gauge permit compliance and program effectiveness. The measurable goals, as well as the BMPs, should consider the needs and characteristics of the operator and the area served by its small MS4. The measurable goals should be chosen using an integrated approach that fully addresses the requirements and intent of the minimum control measure. For example, an MS4 program goal might be to incorporate the use of road salt alternatives for highway deicing and reduce traditional road salt use by 50 percent in the first year of the permit term.

CHAPTER 8

CONCLUSION The new General Permit provides clarification and gives many additional requirements to cities that are classified as small MS4s. In order to strive for permit compliance the small MS4s will need to devote additional time, effort, and resources to their storm water program. The time and money required to meet each minimum performance measure provided in this SWMP are only estimates. It is recommended that the City evaluate these estimated costs and also evaluate their current storm water utility rate to determine if the current revenue will cover the cost of these additional requirements. The ultimate goal of this SWMP document should to make the local rivers and streams cleaner; to do this an effective program is needed. The EPA has provided guidance on how to evaluate your program effectiveness and its goals. The following are the levels of effectiveness:

Level 1 – Compliance with Activity Bases Permit Requirements Level 2 – Changes in Attitudes, Knowledge, & Awareness Level 3 – Behavioral Change & BMP Implementation Level 4 – Load Reductions Level 5 – Changes in Urban Runoff & Discharge Quality Level 6 – Changes in Receiving Water Quality

The new General Permit requirements will challenge each and every community classified as a small MS4. As stated in the introduction the measurable goals are mandated by the EPA and a community must be showing improvement with their program and goals over time. This SWMP is intended to be a living document with tasks, goals, and BMPs added and deleted as new management practices arise and other management practices are found to be ineffective. Communities that are making a concerted effort to comply with permit requirements are less likely to be penalized when inspected and audited. Penalties for not complying with General Permit requirements can be severe including fines as much as $25,000 per day per violation and jail time of up to six months for tampering or falsifying information (see General Permit sections 6.2, 6.10, & 6.11). The following appendices contain reference documents and examples of what neighboring communities are doing to meet permit requirements. The appendices are also meant to be used a central location for documentation purposes.
