The Annual Public Meeting and Annual Report are MS4 Permit requirements. SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: The City Council is respectfully requested to conduct the Annual Public Meeting required by the MS4 Permit and receive public input and comments. After receiving a staff presentation and public comments, it is respectfully requested that the City Council accept the 2015 MS4 Annual Report and authorize staff to submit this report to the MPCA by June 30, 2016. The recommended motion for this action is as follows: City Council Meeting [Regular Agenda Item 29] June 21, 2016 -- page 2 -- “Move to accept the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Annual Report for 2015, and authorize staff to submit this report to the MPCA by June 30, 2016.” LEGISLATIVE HISTORY/BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The MS4 General Permit is mandated by the federal regulations under the Clean Water Act and administered by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. A municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) is a conveyance or system of conveyances (roads with drainage systems, municipal streets, catch basins, curbs, gutters, ditches, man-made channels, and storm drains) owned by a municipality. The MS4 program gives owners or operators of MS4’s approval to discharge storm water to lakes, rivers and wetlands in Minnesota. The MS4 General Permit focuses on reducing the pollution that enters these public systems and discharges to wetlands, streams and lakes (“waters of the state”). By federal rule, storm water systems in urban areas are labeled Mandatory MS4s. The City of Lake Elmo is a Mandatory MS4 City. As a MS4 City, Lake Elmo was required to obtain and comply with a National Pollutant Discharge and Elimination System (NPDES) storm water permit. To meet these requirements the City prepared and implemented a five year Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) beginning in 2006 and extending through 2010. The MPCA reissued a new five year program effective August 1, 2013 that extends to July 31, 2018. The SWPPP specifies and outlines a series of best management practices intended to satisfy the permit requirements for each of the six minimum control measures. The six minimum control measures are: 1. Public Education and Outreach 2. Public Involvement and Participation 3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination 4. Construction Site Storm Water Controls 5. Post-Construction Storm Water Management for development and redevelopment 6. Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations As part of the on-going permit requirements as a mandatory MS4 City, Staff has prepared the 2015 MS4 Annual Report and will present a summary report to the City Council and general public. The City must hold an Annual Public Meeting to encourage public discussion and participation regarding its storm water quality and steps it is taking to address the MS4 Permit requirements. Notice of this meeting was posted at City hall and published in the Oakdale-Lake Elmo Review on May 11, 2016 (see attachment). Public input received will be considered for updating the City’s Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) and the meeting minutes will be incorporated into the City’s final report. The 2015 MS4 Annual Report must be submitted to the MPCA by June 30, 2016. A copy of the City’s Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) is available on the City website. The Annual Meeting is scheduled to be held as part of the regular City Council meeting at City Hall. The agenda for this meeting will include: City Council Meeting [Regular Agenda Item 29] June 21, 2016 -- page 3 -- • A presentation about implementation of the City’s Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program in 2015, • Affording interested persons an opportunity to make oral statements concerning the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program, • Consideration of relevant written materials that interested persons submit concerning the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program; and, • Consideration of public input in making adjustments to the 2016 implementation plan for the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program. 2015 MS4 REPORT HIGHLIGHTS The City’s annual implementation of its Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) addresses all permit requirements through six minimum control measures (MCM) as outlined below: MCM 1 & 2: Public Education & Outreach, Public Involvement & Participation: In 2015, the City renewed its contract with the East Metro Water Resource Education Program (EMWREP), which continues to be a high value, low cost solution to address many of the educational and public outreach requirements of the City’s permit program. A copy of the 2015 EMWREP Annual Report has been attached. Lake Elmo Staff used EMWREP as a primary resource to create educational materials for the public on storm water best management practices (available at City Hall, in City Newsletters and on the City’s website). MCM 3: Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination: No known illicit discharges were recorded in 2015. A list of subsurface sewage treatment systems (SSTS) with known problems was provided in 2015 by Washington County. The City will continue to work with the County to address these issues with property owners. An emergency response procedure (ERP) was reviewed with the Fire Chief and Public Works Superintendent as document to follow should an illicit discharge occur within the City. MCM 4: Construction Site Storm Water Controls: All new developments in the City were required to prepare a site specific SWPPP to address erosion and sediment control during construction activity. In 2015 there were 9 written notices given and 3 fines issued to builders for non-compliance to the City’s Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinance. MCM 5: Post-Construction Storm Water Management: Updates were made to the Engineering Design Standards Manual for Private Development, based on input during 2015 construction. Storm Water Maintenance Agreements were required for new developments to ensure on-going maintenance of newly constructed storm water facilities. Checklists are in place to review for impervious surface compliance on new building permits. MCM 6: Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations: The Public Works Department reported that inspections to the storm sewer system were not completed in 2015. Street sweeping was completed on all City streets in April 2015. The City continued to work with the Washington Conservation District to maintain rain gardens installed on past street City Council Meeting [Regular Agenda Item 29] June 21, 2016 -- page 4 -- improvement projects. Public Works responded to resident drainage issues and completed routine maintenance on the storm sewer system. Public Works also contracted out services to re- grade and establish a main drainage way within the Tablyn Park neighborhood. MS4 GENERAL PERMIT UPDATE: On May 21, 2013, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) reissued the General Permit for discharges of stormwater associated with small MS4s. The new state-wide permit became effective on August 1, 2013. As part of the new permit requirements, the City was required to complete and submit a pond inventory by April 3, 2015. The City continues to work toward annual compliance of its SWPPP and make progress toward program updates that are included in the permit reissuance. RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the City Council accept the MS4 Annual Report for 2015, and authorize staff to submit this report to the MPCA by June 30, 2016. The recommended motion for this action is as follows: “Move to accept the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Annual Report for 2015, and authorize staff to submit this report to the MPCA by June 30, 2016.” ATTACHMENT(S): 1. Notice of MS4 Annual Public Meeting. 2. 2015 MS4 Annual Report. 3. EMWREP Annual Report – Executive Summary (full Report available upon request). 4 2015 Executive Summary General Education Campaign: During 2015, EMWREP continued to use a variety of strategies to educate the general public about stormwater pollution and other issues affecting the quality of surface and groundwater resources, and to inform them about partner programs and activities. EMWREP contributed 73 press releases and news columns to 18 area newspapers, in addition to producing educational content for city newsletters, social media, and on-line news sites. EMWREP staff attended more than 20 community events and participated in the planning and program development for several regional water education initiatives as well. Though the impact of these larger public education and awareness raising efforts is often hard to measure directly, we know they greatly improve the success of our targeted outreach activities and are usually the initial gateway through which people learn about EMWREP partner organizations and engage at a higher level by attending a workshop, participating in a watershed planning process, or installing a clean water project on their property. In 2015, EMWREP also conducted the following special education projects: • Continued outreach with Homeowners’ Associations • Provided education about groundwater and water conservation • Worked to build relationships with lake associations • Engaged citizens in watershed activities and plan updates • Supported water education for area youth • Helped WaterShed Partners develop a new metro-wide water education initiative Blue Thumb Program: EMWREP uses Blue Thumb – Planting for Clean Water (www.BlueThumb.org) tools and resources to conduct public education and enhance outreach efforts, as well as promote watershed cost-share programs, conduct targeted outreach for neighborhood raingarden projects, and teach educational workshops for homeowners. The program was developed by the Rice Creek Watershed District in 2006 and is now led by Metro Blooms. • In 2015, EMWREP conducted raingarden design workshops in Bayport and Marine on St. Croix, and held raingarden maintenance workshops in Lake Elmo and Stillwater. We also coordinated neighborhood parties in Stillwater and Oakdale. • In January 2015, we conducted a survey of 433 BMP participants and workshop attendees from 2010-2015. 82 people responded. • For 2015, BMP program staff reported: o 292 site visits o 31 new projects installed; 14 projects from previous years completed o 97.5 pounds of phosphorus (P) captured by all projects installed in 2015 o 19,389 pounds of total suspended solids (TSS) captured by all projects in 2015 Rural Outreach: During 2015, EMWREP offered a workshop for horse owners. In addition, EMWREP provided outreach support for Washington Conservation District’s Turf to Prairie grant, Top50P!, and nitrates well water testing in southern Washington County. Blue Biz: The Blue Biz program consists of a website (www.cleanwaterMN.org/businesses) and outreach materials that partners can use to engage commercial property owners in BMP projects. Stormwater U: In 2015, EMWREP coordinated with Minnesota Extension, the University of Minnesota Erosion and Stormwater Management Certification Programs, and the Minnesota Erosion Control Association (MECA) to provide professional training and workshops for local government staff and consultants, as well as builders, developers and contractors, including: 5 1) Turfgrass Maintenance 2) Stormwater Practices Inspections and Maintenance; and 3) Erosion Control We also distributed a set of ten 10-minute PowerPoint presentations for municipal partners to use during monthly staff meetings. The presentations cover training topics included under Minimum Control Measure 6 of the MS4 permit. NEMO: The Northland NEMO program (Non-point Education for Municipal Officials) provides local elected officials and decision makers with resources and information to make informed decisions about land use and water quality in their communities. Northland NEMO is hosted by the University of Minnesota Extension and EMWREP is a partner organization. During 2015, EMWREP collaborated with NEMO and local partners to host two workshops for local decision makers: • St. Croix River Workshop on the Water: Aug. 6 • Protecting and improving lakes and streams in Forest Lake: Sept. 1 MS4 Toolkit: The MS4 toolkit is hosted on the Clean Water MN website at www.cleanwatermn.org. The on-line kit includes training materials to help MS4 entities and EMWREP partners meet the six minimum control measures outlined in the MS4 permit.
