Local Stormwater Management Plan Memo February 12, 2002 Page 2 of2 Aside from the current statutory requirements to create a LSWMP, in the near future the MPCA will also require MS4's (Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems) to obtain a permit. Arden Hills has not officially been notified that they are a designated MS4 by the MPCA, but this appears very likely to occur by mid-2002. A permit application will need to be prepared along with a "Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program" that identifies Best Management Practices and how we intend to implement them, The permit also requires public participation, annual reporting to determine progress toward goals, employee training on best management practices, erosion and sediment control requirements (we already have these in place), and some additional ordinance modifications, Given the MPCA's current timeline, the permit application along with the City's Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program would need to be submitted by March 2003. Given the aforementioned consideration, depending on how the MPCA's permitting requirements evolve, we may have to make some modifications to the LSWMP in the near future, Staff will keep you updated as additional information becomes available, Please feel frce to contact me if you should have any questions.
