SUBJECT:
NPDES Annual Storm Water Meeting
As of March 10,2003, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency required all cities within the
Seven County Metro Region to apply for a General Storm Water Permit (Small Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer Systems, or MS4, permit) as part of Federal National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) requirements. In order to comply with new federal regulations,
municipalities were required to develop a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) that
focuses on ways the municipality will reduce the amount of sediment and pollution entering the
surrounding water bodies. The SWPPP requires six minimum control measures that need to be
addressed by the City. Each measure is aimed at reducing the amount of pollution entering water
bodies through various methods such as public outreach and education, regulatory ordinances,
and physical structures constructed as a part of the storm water sewer system. Each control
measure includes several Best Management Practices (BMPs) that will be used to accomplish the
measure and each will include measurable goals that can establish the effectiveness ofthe
SWPPP.
Every year the City is required to hold a public meeting on the SWPPP. The City is also
required to submit an annual report to the MPCA documenting the accomplishments of the
preVIOUS year.
A Power Point presentation will be given as part ofthe public information meeting to cover the
minimum control measures and discuss the accomplishments of2006 and the goals for 2007.
