Item No: 6B Meeting Date: June 25, 2012 Type of Business: Special Order of Business Administrator Review: ____ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Nick DeBar, Public Works Director Item Title/Subject: Annual Public Information Meeting for MS4 SWPPP Background/Discussion: The City is required to have a public information meeting each year to present and solicit feedback regarding it’s Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP). The SWPPP is a requirement of the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) general permit. This permit is mandated by the federal regulations under the Clean Water Act and administered by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. The MS4 permitting program gives owners or operators of municipal separate storm sewer systems approval to discharge stormwater to lakes, rivers and wetlands in Minnesota. An overview of the MS4 program is attached to this report. The SWPPP is available for review on the City’s webpage and printed copies are available for review at the Public Works counter at City Hall. The MS2 general permit also requires completion of a reporting form and is typically due on June 30 each year. The annual public meeting is mandated to be noticed in advance in the City’s legal publication. A notice was advertised in the legal section of the June 7, 2012 edition of the Sun-Focus, as well included in the summer edition of the MV Matters and on the city webpage. Recommendation: Staff encourages input and feedback from the City Council and citizens on the City’s SWPPP and stormwater issues in general. No official motion or action is required by the Council for this meeting. Respectfully submitted, Nick DeBar - Public Works Director Attachment: • Municipal Stormwater Program – An Overview (MPCA)
