state waters as defined for small municipal separate storm sewer systems, <br /> separate <br /> Mr. Johnson reviewed outreach records and their connection and documentation <br /> as part of the process; storm sewer mapping that will be strongly highlighted in <br /> 2014 and in the future; and detection and elimination efforts for illicit discharge <br /> situations throughout the community. <br /> Mr. Johnson reviewed specific and significant changes made in best management <br /> practices (BMP) and minimum control measures (MCM) measurable goals and <br /> their implementation status (Attachment A) in relationship to the Minnesota <br /> Pollution Control Agency's (MPCA) flexibility in reviewing the City's progress <br /> in meeting permit requirements outside a standard punch list; and intent for <br /> increased education of residents and field staff in identifying and documenting <br /> illicit discharges. Mr. Johnson advised that this would include written procedures <br /> in place for site plan review; public input, site inspections and investigations, and <br /> elimination of the individual problem areas. <br /> Mr. Johnson advised that written enforcement response procedures (ERP's) would <br /> be put in place to enforce and compel compliance with regulatory mechanisms <br /> developed and implemented by the City of Roseville (e.g. city code and the local <br /> surface water management plan). <br /> Mr. Johnson advised that Como Lake (Gottfried Pitt area) was currently listed as <br /> impaired water, with upcoming total maximum daily loads (TMDL's) for Bennett <br /> Lake, Little Johanna Lake, Long Lake, and in 2015, Pike Lake. <br /> For the benefit of newer commissioners, Chair Stenlund clarified that there was a <br /> maximum limit of nutrient loads allocated and affecting everyone, with the City <br /> of Roseville having a certain allocation of that loading, with the overall goal to <br /> reduce that loading. <br /> At the request of Member Cihacek, Chair Stenlund and Mr. Schwartz listed some <br /> of the types of pollutants, how they all fit together, and could be reduced by better <br /> housekeeping and staff training. <br /> Mr. Johnson reviewed some examples (e.g. Ramsey County Ditches 2, 3, 4 and 5 <br /> along Snelling Avenue, Zimmerman Lake and west to the boundary of Roseville, <br /> and their eventual draining into Long Lake) and the need to reduce phosphorus <br /> going into those water bodies and reduce flooding into Long Lake. Mr. Johnson <br /> noted that further compounding the problem was the different types of soil across <br /> the City, with clay on the west side and difficulties in effective infiltration to <br /> reduce stormwater other than delay attempts or delaying it; with credits provided <br /> for mitigation efforts in those more problematic areas. <br /> Mr. Johnson advised that the most difficult and time-consuming tasks for staff to <br /> accomplish in the next year included completing written procedures and <br /> Page 15 of 20 <br />
