City's website at www.cityofroseville.com/projects, and detailed in the staff report dated May 28, 2013. Discussion included explanation of a delay in the watermain lining project with the new 3M product due to an equipment problem in CO; delays in various maintenance projects due to weather conditions; continued discussion of pathway build-out scheduled for the June PWETC meeting; and best practices policy for hydrant flushing after street sweeping. 5. National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II Annual Public Meeting Public Works employee, Pat Dolan, presented the annual review of activities undertaken for the City of Roseville's Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and Permit Application for coverage under general permit MN-R- 040000, "Authorization to Discharge Storm Water Associated with Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System/State Disposal System Permit Program," dated May 22, 2012, and included in its entirety in tonight's agenda materials. As a bench handout, attached hereto and made apart hereof, Mr. Dolan reviewed six (6) points undertaken by the City in the NPDES Phase II program: 1) Public education/outreach measures 2) Public participation and involvement measures 3) Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Measures 4) Construction Site storm water runoff control measures 5) Post-construction storm water management measures 6) Pollution prevention and good housekeeping measures Discussion among PWETC members and staff included those items completed to- date as well as those continuing on a"to-do" list; the recent state-wide ban on PAH's for pollution prevention, and the positive step this provided for communication efforts of the City's SWPPP; the MPCA's recent ruling regarding stormwater management for street construction, previously handled by our watershed districts, but now involving municipalities even more (e.g. volume reduction, rate control, and water quality during reconstruction projects), but the most impact for larger communities outside the metropolitan area versus urban communities such as Roseville, already significantly involved in the process and requirements; and the positive impacts of merging of the former Grass Lakes Water Management Organization (GLWMO) with the Metro-Washington Area Metropolitan Watershed District, as they are currently in the process of a Plan Amendment to enable them to spend resources on future projects; and their apparent eagerness to partner with and devote resources to projects in the immediate Roseville area (e.g. WRAP for the Grass Lakes area in 2015 that will identify TMDL areas). Further discussion included various sections of the document itself, including: Section I.c.l —Education Program: Public Education and Outreach Page 2 of 15
