PREVENTION PROGRAM The Public Works Superintendent reported that the City holds a permit to operate a storm water system with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. This permit requires that the City hold a public hearing to receive comments from the public relative to the City's Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program. The Superintendent reviewed the City's annual storm water report that will be submitted to the MPCA which outlines the City's progress towards improving water quality. He noted that significant progress has been made in developing a storm water ordinance. The ordinance mirrors Watershed rules with some modifications based on Little Canada's circumstances. The draft ordinance will be presented to the City Council later this year for adoption. The Superintendent reported that the Sleepy Hollow has been dredged this year to increase pond capacity. The City plans to increase the frequency of this type of work and will be targeting one or two ponds each year. The Superintendent noted that 18 of 66 outfalls were inspected during 2006. Work is also being done to develop a more efficient inspection and documentation system. 2
