The SWPPP is a requirement of <br />the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) general permit. This permit is mandated by the <br />federal regulations under the Clean Water Act and administered by the Minnesota Pollution Control <br />Agency. The MS4 permitting program gives owners or operators of municipal separate storm sewer <br />systems approval to discharge stormwater to lakes, rivers and wetlands in Minnesota. An overview of <br />the MS4 program is attached to this report. <br /> <br />The SWPPP is available for review on the City’s webpage and printed copies are available for review at <br />the Public Works counter at City Hall. The MS2 general permit also requires completion of a reporting <br />form and is typically due on June 30 each year. <br /> <br />The annual public meeting is mandated to be noticed 30 days in advance in the City’s legal publication. <br />A notice was advertised in the legal section of the May 12th, 2011 edition of the Sun-Focus. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff encourages input and feedback from Council and citizens on the City’s SWPPP and stormwater <br />issues in general. No official motion or action is required by the Council for this meeting. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Nick DeBar - Public Works Director <br /> <br />Attachment: <br />• Municipal Stormwater Program – An Overview (MPCA)
