NOTICE OF ANNUAL PUBLIC MEETING
ON THE CITY STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PROGRAM
Notice is hereby given that the City Council of Lake Elmo will meet at City Hall at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday,
June 3, 2014, to conduct a public meeting to encourage public discussion and participation regarding its
storm water quality and Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP).
A 1987 Amendment to the Federal Clean Water Act required implementation of a two-phase
comprehensive national program to reduce pollution from storm water runoff. A National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) is
required as part of this program. The permit identifies a number of measures that must be met or
implemented by each community. The six minimum measures are:
• Public Education and Outreach
• Public Involvement and Participation
• Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
• Construction Site Storm Water Controls
• Post-Construction Storm Water Management for development and redevelopment
• Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
The City’s Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program specifies best management practices intended to
satisfy the permit requirements for each of the minimum measures. As part of this program, the City is
required to hold an annual meeting to encourage public discussion and participation regarding its storm
water quality and steps it is taking to address the six minimum control measures. A copy of the SWPPP is
available on the City website or by contacting the City Engineer. An annual report will be submitted to the
MPCA in June 2014. The minutes of the annual public meeting will be incorporated into the City’s annual
report.
The meeting will be held as part of the regular city council meeting at City Hall. The agenda for this
meeting will include:
1) A Presentation about implementation of the City's Surface Water Pollution
Prevention Program in 2013,
2) Affording interested persons the opportunity to make oral statements concerning the
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program,
3) Consideration of relevant written materials that interested persons submit
concerning the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program; and,
4) Consideration of public input in making adjustments to the 2014 implementation plan
for the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program.
