3 The City shall make this Plan available to the residents of Rose <br />general public through the Citys stormwater webpage. <br />4 The City will use a public involvement process in water resource management <br />decision-making (i.e., the Public Works, Environment, and Transportation <br />Commission). <br />5 The City will make an ongoing effort on both a local and regiona <br />distributing information to residents on responsible practices tprotect water <br />resources such as alternative landscapes, phosphorus free fertilizer, aqua <br />plant management, proper use of a wide range of lawn chemicals a <br />disposal of hazardous household materials etc. <br />6 The City will work with existing public and private resources to increase <br />public participation in water resources management and dissemina <br />information regarding each of the local watershed management org <br />having jurisdiction within the City. <br />7 The City will cooperate with other organizations and consider establishment of <br />model interpretative sites for public education. <br />The City will continue to educate elected officials on water res <br />8 <br />management needs and issues. <br />4.5Pollution Prevention and Maintenance <br />Housekeeping practices, such as removing leaves from streets and <br />the use of phosphorus fertilizers, are examples of simple ways indiv <br />City can prevent pollution and make improvements in water quality. Although suspended <br />solids and nutrients are traditionally what come to mind regarding surfa <br />pollutants, there are a number of other pollutants that harm sur <br />ecosystems. The following list summarizes additional water qualiutants of concern to <br />regional surface waters: <br />Chloride. <br /> Chloride is a main component of most deicing products such as r <br />in the water, it is a conservative pollutant making it difficult <br />aquatic plants and organisms and can reduce or delay vertical mixing in lakes. Using <br />properly calibrated equipment to apply deicing products is one of the ways City crews <br />reduce the amount of chlorides applied to City streets. <br />Pathogens. <br /> Pathogens are disease causing organisms such as Giardia and <br />Cryptosporidium. They are difficult to identify and thus fecal c E. coli <br />bacteria are used to indicate the possible presence of pathogens <br />livestock, and wildlife excrement. <br />Mercury. <br /> Mercury is naturally occurring element which finds its way to su <br />primarily through atmospheric deposition. The primary regional s <br />mercury is from burning coal. Once in the water, it is converted <br />bioaccumulates up the food chain and is a known neurotoxin which impacts the central <br />nervous system. Several of the Citys lakes are impaired for mercury resulting i <br />consumption advisories. <br />Other heavy metals <br /> (e.g. lead, zinc, copper and cadmium).
