The City will work with the RCWD to ensure adequate inspection, maintenance and repair of all public ditches within the City. 2. The City of Hugo prefers the development of municipal drainage systems whenever possible to the development of private drainage systems.

The City will follow the stormwater maintenance plan as outlined in the MS4 permit. A copy of the MS4 application for reauthorization is included in Appendix B. This plan has been developed to assure that the retention/treatment basin clean out and maintenance will be addressed to the extent that is feasible and practical. Infrastructure to be inspected includes outfalls, water quality BMPs, and stormwater ponds. 2. All new and redeveloped stormwater management structures and facilities shall be maintained in perpetuity either through dedication of the facilities to the City through an easement or through a maintenance agreement between the landowner and the City. 3. The City will implement the Stormwater Asset Management Program (SWAMP) that identifies and prioritizes pond maintenance activities and BMP inspections. This program will need to be updated regularly to result in an updated prioritization of pond inspection and maintenance activities. This program uses construction as- builts, pond inventory, drainage areas, field inspections, and storm sewer maps to rank BMPs based on cost/benefit pollutant removal efficiency. Basins are prioritized based on a set of parameters and a schedule can be determined for maintenance needs. The program is continually updated to include new BMPs, updated stormwater infrastructure, or changed drainage areas. The City will be able to incorporate SWAMP to include the following: SECTION 5 ' • • '
