HomeMy WebLinkAbout#11 - MS4 Annual Report STAFF REPORT DATE: June 5, 2018 REGULAR ITEM #: 11 AGENDA ITEM: MS4 Permit Program – Public Meeting and Accept the 2017 Annual Report SUBMITTED BY: Rob Weldon, Public Works Director REVIEWED BY: Kristina Handt, City Administrator Jack Griffin, City Engineer Ryan Stempski, Project Engineer ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: Should the City Council approve the Annual Report for the MS4 Permit Program? BACKGROUND: 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 PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: As part of the on-going permit requirements as a mandatory MS4 City, Staff has prepared the 2017 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 9, 2018 (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 2017 MS4 Annual Report must be submitted to the MPCA by June 30, 2018. A copy of the City’s Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) is available on the City website. RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the City Council conduct the Annual Public Meeting required by the MS4 Permit and receive public input and comments. After receiving a staff presentation and public comment, it is recommended that the City Council accept the MS4 Annual Report for 2017 and authorize staff to submit this report to the MPCA by June 30, 2018. The recommended motion for the action is as follows: “Move to accept the MS4 Annual Report for 2017 and authorize staff to submit the Report to the MPCA.” ATTACHMENTS: 1.

CITY OF LAKE ELMO 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 5, 2018, 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 2018. 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 2017, 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 2018 implementation plan for the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program. DATED: May 5, 2018 BY ORDER OF THE LAKE ELMO CITY CLERK Julie Johnson, City Clerk (Published in the Oakdale-Lake Elmo Review on May 9, 2018) 4 2017 Executive Summary Public Education and Engagement: EMWREP continues to lead water education efforts in the East Metro area through outreach, community engagement, public education, and media communications. Highlights from 2017 include: 1. Public education: Eight (8) landscaping workshops; four (4) backyard tours; ten (10) family nature events; and 15+ community events. • Highlights: i. Landscaping workshops in North St. Paul, St. Paul Park, Oakdale, Hugo, Forest Lake and Woodbury ii. Raingarden maintenance workshops in Stillwater and Forest Lake iii. AIS Identification workshops in Forest Lake, Big Marine and Lake Elmo iv. Clean the Croix – river clean up and buckthorn pull with 60 participants v. BCWD 20th Anniversary & WCD 75th Anniversary events 2. Volunteer engagement: • Master Water Stewards: With state funding, EMWREP recruited eight citizens to become Master Water Stewards and will be recruiting 12 additional stewards in 2018. Stewards complete 50-hours of training and a capstone project to become certified and volunteer 25-50 hours per year to support local watershed work. • AIS Detectors: We used county funds to train nine local residents as aquatic invasive species “AIS Detectors”, through a partnership with University of MN. • EMWREP continues to work in partnership with Washington County Master Gardeners and to provide support for education initiatives led by St. Croix Watershed Stewards. 3. Youth education: Staff taught lessons about groundwater and watersheds to more than a dozen 4th and 5th grade classes; led activities at Cottage Grove and Woodbury Safety Camps; and provided support to Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District to engage 500 students in planting a raingarden at Woodbury Elementary. 4. Media and communications: Angie Hong continued to write weekly articles about water and conservation for local newspapers (www.eastmetrowater.areavoices.com). Through Watershed Partners, we created a new blog-style website (www.cleanwatermn.org) with monthly articles about local water heroes. Outreach Support for Project Implementation: EMWREP staff provide support for Clean Water grants and other partner projects, in addition to promoting cost-share incentive programs.
