Public Works Director DeBar indicated the second MCM was Public Participation/Involvement that led the City to hold household clean-up days, an annual public meeting and the new adopt a rain garden program. The third MCM was Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination which provided a yearly stormwater management map update, illegal dumping enforcement, illicit discharge inspection program and sanitary sewer maintenance program. He explained the City inspected 32 outfalls and cleaned 47 miles of sanitary sewer in the past year. Public Works Director DeBar noted the fourth MCM was Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control which assisted with erosion and sediment control regulations, construction site plan review, erosion control inspections and enforcements, and grading precon meetings. The fifth MCM was Post Construction Stormwater Management which provided permanent stormwater management design standards, post construction plan reviews and long-term reviews. • Public Works Director DeBar indicated the sixth MCM was Prevention/Good Housekeeping that • created a municipal lawn care maintenance program, a street sweeping program, a street de-icing program and pond/outfall basin inspections. He explained an OSHA inspection was completed this year and the public works facility was brought into compliance. Public Works Director DeBar explained that going into the future the Stormwater Management Plan would be looking into wellhead protection planning, SIP monitoring, a stormwater pond inventory, and an impaired waters review to Rice Creek. The City's MS4 General Permit was applied for in 2003 and would expire in May of 2011. This would have to be reviewed in the near future to assure the State renews the permit. Council Member Mueller questioned how the stormwater basins would be recognized if not stenciled. Public Works Director DeBar indicated the basins would have a stamp in the iron. Council Member Mueller asked what residents could do when they see a stormwater basin or grate clogged grass clippings, sticks and leaves. Public Works Director DeBar encouraged the residents to contact the Stormwater Management Hotline at 717-4063. This would allow the City to track and monitor the calls. He noted leaves or grass could be raked up into the boulevard but warned residents not to approach an area that had a large amount of water ponded. 7.
