12. ACTION
A. Approval of a Letter of Agreement for the NPDES Phase II Assistance
from Bonestroo, Rosene, and Anclerlilz. City Administrator Getschow stated that
the Council previously approved participation in a LMC consortium with other
Minnesota communities for the purpose of creating a Guide Plan for the NPDES
Phase II stormwater permit that is due in March of 2003. More than 100 cities in
the State of Minnesota that will need to comply with the Clean Water Act's Phase
II stormwater program have participated in the Guide Plan group. The initial cost
of $5,000 was reduced to $3,000 following a $2,000 refund in December 2002
due to excellent participation by affected cities. Also, the city's engineering
consultant BRA, was the consultant chosen by the LMC to create the Guide Plan.
Unfortunately, the Guide Plan only assists a community in getting part of the way
through the permit process. There are many elements to the NPDES permit
requirements, but one of the largest components of the permit is the city
requirement to develop, implement and enforce a city-wide storm water pollution
prevention plan. The elements of that plan that must include the following six
minimum set control measures.

The City must also define appropriate BMP's or best management practices for
each of the six control measures and have measurable goals for each BMP. The
engineering consultant will assist city staff in defining these BMP's and creating
quantifiable goals. More importantly, the consultant can assist in drafting a
citywide storm water pollution prevention plan and a permit application that is
defensible in court. The letter of agreement details the services that are needed to
create the proper storm water pollution prevention plan and the other necessary
components that are needed to apply for the permit. For smaller communities,
BRA estimated that the consulting cost of this effort will be approximately
between $12,000-$15,000 in 2003. Lauderdale will be on the lower end of the
scale because of our prior efforts in enacting a storm water management
ordinance and a capital storm water management plan. Larger communities will
be expending more than $20,000 in consulting engineering towards this permit
process.
