Home My WebLink About#07 - MS4 Annual Report STAFF REPORT DATE: June 4, 2019 REGULAR AGENDA ITEM: MS4 Permit Program – Public Meeting and Accept the 2018 Annual Report SUBMITTED BY: Jack Griffin, City Engineer REVIEWED BY: Kristina Handt, City Administrator Marty Powers, Public Works Director 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 federal regulations under the Clean Water Act and administered by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. A municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) is a 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 ending in 2010. The MPCA reissued a new five-year program that began August 1, 2013. An updated permit is expected to be rolled out by the MPCA in 2019. No major changes to the current permit are expected. 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 2018 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 1, 2019 (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 2018 MS4 Annual Report must be submitted to the MPCA by June 30, 2019. 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 public comment, it is recommended that the City Council accept the MS4 Annual Report for 2018 and authorize staff to submit this report to the MPCA by June 30, 2019. The recommended motion for the action is as follows: “Move to accept the MS4 Annual Report for 2018 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 4, 2019, 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 2019. 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 2018, 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 2019 implementation plan for the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program.

Current EMWREP partners include: • Washington Conservation District (host) • Washington County • Watershed management organizations: Brown’s Creek, Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix, Comfort-Lake Forest Lake, Rice Creek, Ramsey-Washington Metro, South Washington, and Valley Branch Watershed Districts, and the Middle St. Croix Watershed Management Organization • Cities and townships: Cottage Grove, Dellwood, Forest Lake, Grant, Hugo, Lake Elmo, Newport, Oakdale, Oak Park Heights, Stillwater, St. Paul Park, Willernie, and Woodbury, West Lakeland Township Purpose: The purpose of the shared education program is to educate community residents, businesses, staff and decision-makers about issues affecting local lakes, rivers, streams, wetlands and groundwater resources and to engage people in projects that will help to protect and improve the health of these water resources. Partnership Structure: EMWREP is guided by a steering committee comprised of representatives from each of the 24 partner organizations. The committee generally meets twice a year to provide recommendations on the program budget and activities. The EMWREP coordinator communicates regularly with partner staff, council members and board members; prepares an annual report on program activities; provides outreach data and statistics for partners’ MS4 Permit reports; and communicates one-on-one with individual partners on projects throughout the year. All EMWREP reports, plans, and education updates are available on-line at www.mnwcd.org/emwrep. Staff: Angie Hong is the EMWREP program coordinator. Additional education support in 2018 was provided by Lauren Haydon and Cameron Blake. Coordination with Other Regional Education Efforts: The EMWREP partnership helps to strengthen relationships between Washington Conservation District, Washington County and the eight watershed management organizations and 14 cities that constitute the partnership. This translates into better coordination and less overlap in the management of local water resources. EMWREP staff provide leadership for Watershed Partners (a collaborative of more than 60 non- profit and public entities in the Twin Cities metro area), participate in the Blue Thumb partnership and Master Water Stewards programs, and work actively with organizations in the St. Croix Basin, including partners in the Lower St. Croix “One Watershed” Plan. Accolades: EMWREP was the 2012 MAWD Watershed Program of the Year. 4 2018 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 2018 include: 1. Public education: 1. Engaging lake associations and lakeshore residents: Two (2) workshops and a semi-monthly e-newsletter delivered to 150 lake association leaders 2. Landscaping workshops: Five (5) workshops focusing on prairie maintenance and invasive species management 3. Dozens of presentations, community events, and educational activities 4. Weekly articles in local newspapers: www.eastmetrowater.org 2. Volunteer engagement: 1.
