Clkkh~re to view. <br /> <br />With the consultant team Emmons and Olivier Resources, Inc. and the Center for <br />Watershed Protection, the 800-page document (1,200 pages with appendices) <br />grew out of a collaboration between the 40 members of the Minnesota <br />Stormwater Steering Committee, which includes representatives of state <br />agencies, local governments, businesses, and a variety of environmental, <br />educational and water-protection groups. The Manual is a comprehensive <br />stormwater-management tool that addresses the adverse impacts of stormwater <br />runoff facing Minnesota water professionals. <br /> <br />The Manual guides professionals and newcomers alike through the process of <br />designing sites that control stormwater, shows how to choose the Best <br />Management Practices (BMP) for a site, demonstrates the impact of cold <br />climates on runoff management and much more. The Manual appendix provides <br />detailed Computer Assisted Design and Drafting (CADD) drawings for specific <br />BMP. The Manual public meetings are scheduled for locations across <br />Minnesota. <br /> <br />STORM WATER POLLUTION from point sources and non point <br />sources is a challenging water quality problem. Unlike pollution from industry or <br />sewage treatment facilities, which is caused by a discrete number of sources, <br />storm water pollution is caused by the daily activities of people everywhere. <br />Rainwater and snowmelt run off streets, lawns, farms, and construction and <br />industrial sites and pick up fertilizers, dirt, pesticides, oil and grease, and many <br />other pollutants on the way to our rivers, lakes, and coastal waters. Storm water <br />runoff is our most common cause of water pollution. Because storm water <br />pollution is caused by so many different activities, traditional regulatory controls <br />will only go so far. Education and outreach are key components to any <br />successful storm water program. <br /> <br />For more information on stormwater and nonpoint source pollution, please <br />visit: <br /> <br />· httJlJLW:WW-,-E2lliLgovLOQQes/storrnwaJ~ - EPA's stormwater program <br />homepage <br />· ht1Q:l/\,IIJ';\IW-"--~gQYlo\i\lQw/nps - EPA's nonpoint source program <br />homepage <br />· http://www.C.IQAcenter~g - The Construction Industry Compliance <br />Assistance Center home page <br /> <br />Afterthe__~tormnJ~!Qchure [PDF Format] - Provides a broad overview of <br /> <br />http://www.centervillemn.comJindex.asp?Type=B_BASIC&SEC={461DEB68-4DF4-493...1/24/2006 <br />
