The intent of this program is to establish specific guidelines for stormwater pond maintenance, including: Design volume estimation Tracking sediment deposition Sediment removal triggers Sediment disposal process 8.3 NPDES IMPLEMENTATION As discussed in Section 6.5, the City of Mounds View is designated as an NPDES Phase II MS4 community. As part of Mounds View’s application to obtain permit coverage, the City’s Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) identifies many specific implementation items related to surface water management in Mounds View. While it is not the City’s intent to reproduce the specific implementation items from their SWPPP in this LSWMP (a copy of the current SWPPP can be found on the City’s website), the specific items identified in the SWPPP can be lumped into implementation categories, including: General ongoing SWPPP implementation items, including: system inspections, educational materials, website updates, etc. Ordinance updates, specifically: Construction Site and Land Disturbance Runoff Control Post Construction Site Runoff Control Illicit Discharge and Illicit Connection Plan review procedures and standards NPDES Annual Report Surface Water System Map The cost for implementing the items listed above will vary from year to year, but for budgeting purposes, estimated costs for these items is included in Table 8.3. 8.4 PRIORITY SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES Based on the assessment of the City’s current surface water management program and the implementation items in the preceding Sections, a list of system improvement activities has been identified. The system improvements identified range from those being driven by regulatory requirements, to others driven more by the functionality of the City’s regional surface water management system. Table 8.3 presents a summary of recommended surface water management activities. The budget amounts included in this table should be considered planning-level cost estimates, with more specific cost estimates to be determined as the project or activity approaches. For capital improvement projects, the City will continue to rely on its detailed 5-year capital improvement planning process to schedule and plan for funding these projects. This planning process is updated by City staff and reviewed and approved annually by the City Council. The activities listed in Table 8.3 will be used as a reference for particular projects and activities specific to surface water management to be included in the capital improvement planning
