43 5. Communication Items
44 City Engineer Jesse Freihammer provided a brief review and update on projects
45 and maintenance activities listed in the staff report dated April 26, 2022.
46
47 Public Works Director Marc Culver updated the Commission on shredding day on
48 May 21'. He noted the City is finding it difficult to get contractors that are willing
49 to do this event at the scale the City needs it to be done for the demand that is out
50 there. He was not sure how much longer the City will be able to do this event with
51 costs increasing and the difficulty of getting contractors. He explained this is a nice
52 free event but there are many private market options for this service as well.
53
54 Mr. Culver explained staff had a really good meeting with the City Council on the
55 Civic Campus predesign project and a couple of residents attended and provided
56 some good and honest input from their perspective. The City continues to be aware
57 of the impact this proposal may bring to the neighboring residents and the
58 community as a whole.
59
60 Member Spencer inquired about the clean up day and how much was recycled.
61
62 Mr. Freihammer indicated he would report that information at the May meeting.
63 All of the data has not been tabulated yet.
64
65 Member Spencer asked about the cable median on Snelling and inquired about the
66 reasoning for it.
67
68 Mr. Freihammer explained similar to other locations in the Metro, it is more of a
69 safety improvement so there are not any crossovers between the lanes. Some of it
70 was to prevent the illegal U-turns that are present. As part of that, there are a couple
71 of minor improvements in that area as well. He reported the improvements to the
72 Commission.
73
74 Chair Ficek indicated regarding the Lexington Water Main if the turn lane will be
75 removed to make it one way each direction, he wondered how that will affect
76 access.
77
78 Mr. Freihammer explained traffic will be shifted to the east and southbound traffic
79 will use the old center left turn lane. The City is working with Ramsey County for
Page 2 of 6
80 both signal lights at Woodhill and County Road C. This will probably be under split
81 phasing. Left Turns will still be able to work even though the signal will not be as
82 efficient but it still should work. The only access will be into The Point or Amara.
83 The apartment building across the street will still have full access other.
84
85 Mr. Freihammer addressed Commission questions regarding construction issues.
86
87 Mr. Culver indicated at the end of April the Mayor's Emergency Declaration for
88 virtual meetings is going to expire. He indicated starting with the May meeting all
89 Commissioners will be required to attend the meetings in person, in a public space.
90 He believed the hybrid meetings will continue to allow the public to view and
91 respond remotely.
92
93 6. Regional Bike Plan Review and Discussion
94 Mr. Culver introduced Jesse Thomsen, Senior Pedestrian, Bicycle, ADA Planner
95 for the Minnesota Department of Transportation who made a presentation on the
96 Pathway Master Plan. The Commission is asked to consider and recommend future
97 action for the City.
98
99 Chair Ficek asked Mr. Thomsen to expand on how MnDOT can work with
100 Roseville if the City were to move forward with some sort of bike plan. He
101 wondered what MnDOT's role would be in that.
102
103 Mr. Thomsen reviewed the steps that would be taken to coordinate highway
104 crossings, alignment of upcoming work as well as coordination along roadways.
105
106 Chair Ficek asked if it is a benefit to MnDOT if the City has a bike path plan.
107
108 Mr. Thomsen indicated there would be a benefit.
109
110 Member Misra indicated in the MnDOT prioritization maps it shows major
111 corridors where the priority lies, the major traffic areas, but in the design graphics
112 it is looking at lower speed, lower volume traffic areas. She wondered how are those
113 two combined.
114
115 Mr. Thomsen indicated MnDOT is focusing on the trunk highway for the
116 prioritization so part of having all of those different facilities within the design
117 guide is to recognize that they want to make sure they are adequately planning for
118 the safety of people crossing the trunk highway network. Understanding that there
119 are minor streets that intersect with the trunk highways. Being able to plan for those
120 adequately and also the design manual is not just for MnDOT to use, often times it
121 can be a guide for other municipalities to look at if they are having questions about
122 planning transportation needs. It is mostly a guide to be used.
123
124 Mr. Scott Merrick, Ramsey County Senior Transportation Planner, provided a
125 presentation on the Ramsey County All Abilities 2050 Plan.
Page 3 of 6
126
127 Chair Ficek asked regarding the County Hierarchy slide, will more money be
128 allocated to people who walk then money will be allocated to people who bike and
129 down the line. He asked for Mr. Merrick to expand on the information.
130
131 Mr. Merrick explained it is not necessarily more money because the physical
132 infrastructure of roadways is quite a bit more than building a trail or sidewalk, it is
133 more about how they look at designing a roadway. He gave the Commission an
134 example and explained they first look at what the biking and walking needs are in
135 the corridor and how can they best accommodate those needs. He noted this is for
136 a full reconstruction of a roadway.
137
138 Chair Ficek indicated what he envisioned under that guideline is the County could
139 induce some vehicle congestion in order to make the crossing safer for pedestrian
140 traffic.
141 \
142 Mr. Merrick explained those are discussions that do take place and those decisions
143 are made on a project -by -project basis that involve, often times, the City that the
144 County is working with. They also look at balancing those vehicle needs with
145 bicycle and walking needs.
146
147 Member Misra explained in Roseville there are so many major thoroughfares so the
148 City does not have a lot of authority unilaterally to impose speed limits or change
149 certain traffic parameters. It seems to her that with an increased emphasis on
150 pedestrians and bikes going forward that maybe that is up for consideration on some
151 of the existing and proposed projects.
152
153 Mr. Merrick explained the issue of speed does come up in a lot of the corridors.
154 Speeds on County corridors are set by Minnesota Statute, which requires that
155 MnDOT conducts a speed study and whatever the eighty-fifth percentile is of
156 people driving in the corridor is what the posted speed is along the County road. He
157 indicated the County Board is very interested in this topic and are having ongoing
158 discussions about looking at some creative ways they could look at posting speeds
159 in certain County corridors different than what he just described. The County is
160 working with its traffic engineer and the County Board to do some pilot studies in
161 the coming years.
162
163 Mr. Culver explained the PWETC will likely be talking about speed limits at the
164 local level before the end of the year. City's do have the ability to set speed limits
165 based on some engineering studies on its own. He explained it is a tough authority
166 to have because the City has to make sure it is done in the right way and the biggest
167 difficulty is the enforcement.
168
169 Mr. Culver indicated he wanted to find out what the Commission thinks as far as
170 what Roseville should be looking at for further action on a bike network plan and
171 if the Commissioners had any other input on Mr. Merrick's slides. Should the City
Page 4 of 6
172 be extending the Pathway Master Plan to include some additional details for a bike
173 network plan. Should the City put together a whole separate plan.
174
175 Chair Ficek explained if the City went down the road to a separate bike plan, what
176 would Mr. Culver see as the goal and how would that be different from the Master
177 Plan.
178
179 Mr. Culver indicated he was looking for some input from the Commission, if there
180 is any input. He noted the City does not necessarily have a budget right now for a
181 separate bike plan but some things could be shuffled around to hire a consultant to
182 help with that. He thought the City needed to work towards a network where they
183 are promoting the use of certain roadways for bike travel.
184
185 Member Hodder explained from his perspective when he was Finance Chair, one
186 of the things that helped ground him, when he would make decisions was how
187 would it be connected to the community vision for the process that the citizens laid
188 out. How is this driven toward that end.
189
190 Mr. Culver explained whether this is a supplement to the existing FWay Master
191 Plan or a whole new plan, it is directly connected to the y's overall
192 Transportation Plan, which is a chapter within the City's Comprehensive Plan,
193 which is a very community driven document.
194
195 Member Misra explained to Commissioner Hodder's point, that is the kind of
196 thinking that the City, County and even the State seem to be moving forward with
197 its plans, a kind of aspirational vision towards the community.
198
199 Chair Ficek explained his opinion is what he is hearing from the County and State
200 is that it would be a benefit if the City had this and it would help with their
201 investments and something to point to and say the City is dedicated towards it. He
202 also thought, given the little knowledge he has of the Comprehensive Plan, it would
203 be easier to change a bike plan if it were a separate item rather than having to go
204 back and do an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. He could definitely see
205 some benefit towards having a separate plan. He thought it would be a good thing
206 to have.
207
208 Mr. Culver thanked the presenters for addressing the Commission.
209
210 Chair Ficek also thanked the presenters for their presentations.
211
212 7. Items for Next Meeting — May 24, 2022

Chair Ficek indicated he would like to change the Commission name to "The
Sustainability and Infrastructure Commission". He thought it would be more
succinct with what the Commission does. He noted there are other cities that have
gone this route with sustainability commissions.
Mr. Culver commented the Public Works, Environment and Transportation
Commission, as with all the other Commissions in the City are set in City Code.
Changing a name actually requires action by the City Council and it is an important
change which would require a public hearing to make that change. It is not to say
the name change cannot be done but he wanted the Commission to understand the
process it would take. The Commission could make a recommendation to the City
Council to consider changing the name of the Commission. He would suggest the
conversation to be at the June meeting.
Chair Ficek indicated he would be looking for that recommendation if the
Commission was in agreement.
Mr. Culver reviewed "No Mow May" with the Commission.

Partners in Energy Updates
After engaging with over 100 businesses in our April Busi-
ness Blitz, including visiting 60 in person, we are shifting
gears to increase residential home efficiency. Roseville has
joined the Intercity Home Energy Squad Challenge, com-
peting for the most energy squad visits per capita compared
to other Minnesota cities)
This challenge also supports our Partners in Energy goal to
engage 1,400 households in utility savings programs by
the end of 20221 Consider signing up for a Home Energy
Squad visit (discounted 50% for Roseville residents, and
free for income -qualified households!) before tackling your home improvement projects,
and it will count towards the challenge! If you complete an insulation or air sealing pro-
ject through Xcel after your audit, the city gets additional credit for those too— and you'll
see savings on your energy bills and increase your home's comfort. Sian up today!

No Mow May
On Monday, April 25, City Council supported a council
member -initiated item to support residents who wish to
participate in "No Mow May." Local ordinances pertaining
to lawn maintenance are temporarily suspended until
June 1.
By suspending or limiting lawn mowing this month, you
can provide early season foraging resources for emerg-
ing pollinators. A study in Appleton, WI found homes that
didn't mow in May had three times more bee species anc
five times more bees compared to yards that were
mowed!
Thank you from your Sustainable Roseville Team!

Date: May 24, 2022 Item No: 5
Item Description: Annual MS4 Stormwater Public Meeting
Background:
In 2003, Roseville received a permit from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency regarding
how the City manages the discharge of stormwater into public waters. The overall program goal
is to reduce the amount of sediment and pollutants that enter surface water from storm sewer
systems. We have proposed to do this through a number of activities as required, ranging from
best management practices to education of the public about how they can help to reduce
pollution. We have attached a draft copy of the City's Annual Report. Staff will present a
summary of this information at the meeting, including the new completed requirements of the
permit.
This is a required public information meeting where City residents are encouraged to share their
comments and feedback regarding the City's proposed Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(S WPPP), and the implementation of the past year's report. The report and findings from this
meeting will be part of our documentation for our permit.
Recommended Action:
Receive Public Comments regarding the City's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program.

a. A Regulatory Mechanism(s) that incorporates:
(1) A requirement that owners and/or operators of construction activity submit site
plans with post -construction stormwater management BMPs to the permittee for
review and approval, prior to start of construction activity
(2) Conditions for Post -Construction Stormwater Management:
The permittee shall develop and implement a Post -Construction Stormwater
Management program that requires the use of any combination of BMPs, with
highest preference given to Green Infrastructure techniques and practices (e.g.,
infiltration, evapotranspiration, reuse/harvesting, conservation design, urban
forestry, green roofs, etc.), necessary to meet the following conditions on the site of
a construction activity to the MEP:
(a) For new development projects — no net increase from pre -project conditions
(on an annual average basis) of:
1) Stormwater discharge Volume, unless precluded by the stormwater
management limitations in Part III.D.5.a(3)(a)
2) Stormwater discharges of Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
3) Stormwater discharges of Total Phosphorus (TP)
(b) For redevelopment projects —a net reduction from pre -project conditions (on
an annual average basis) of:
1) Stormwater discharge Volume, unless precluded by the stormwater
management limitations in Part III.D.5.a(3)(a)
2) Stormwater discharges of TSS
3) Stormwater discharges of TP
(3) Stormwater management limitations and exceptions
(a) Limitations
1) The permittee's Regulatory Mechanism(s) shall prohibit the use of
infiltration techniques to achieve the conditions for post -construction
stormwater management in Part III.D.5.a(2) when the infiltration structural
stormwater BMP will receive discharges from, or be constructed in areas:
Page 16 of 38
Permit No: MNR040000
a) Where industrial facilities are not authorized to infiltrate industrial
stormwater under an NPDES/SDS Industrial Stormwater Permit issued
by the Agency
b) Where vehicle fueling and maintenance occur
c) With less than three (3) feet of separation distance from the bottom of

or the top of bedrock
d) Where high levels of contaminants in soil or groundwater will be
mobilized by the infiltrating stormwater
2) The permittee's Regulatory Mechanism(s) shall restrict the use of
infiltration techniques to achieve the conditions for post -construction
stormwater management, without higher engineering review, sufficient to
provide a functioning treatment system and prevent adverse impacts to
groundwater, when the infiltration device will be constructed in areas:
a) With predominately Hydrologic Soil Group D (clay) soils
b) Within 1,000 feet up -gradient, or 100 feet down -gradient of active karst
features
c) Within a Drinking Water Supply Management Area (DWSMA) as defined
in Minn. R. 4720.5100, subp. 13
d) Where soil infiltration rates are more than 8.3 inches per hour
3) For linear projects where the lack of right-of-way precludes the installation
of volume control practices that meet the conditions for post -construction
stormwater management in Part. Ill.D.5.a(2), the permittee's Regulatory
Mechanism(s) may allow exceptions as described in Part III.D.5.a(3)(b). The
permittee's Regulatory Mechanism(s) shall ensure that a reasonable
attempt be made to obtain right-of-way during the project planning
process.
(b) Exceptions for stormwater discharge volume
The permittee's Regulatory Mechanism(s) may allow for lesser volume control

under the following circumstances:
1) The owner and/or operator of a construction activity is precluded from
infiltrating stormwater through a designed system due to any of the
infiltration related limitations described above, and
2) The owner and/or operator of the construction activity implements, to the
MEP, volume reduction techniques, other than infiltration, (e.g.,
evapotranspiration, reuse/harvesting, conservation design, green roofs,
etc.) on the site of the original construction activity that reduces
stormwater discharge volume, but may not meet the conditions for post -
construction stormwater management in Part III.D.5.a(2).

DEFINITIONS AND ABBREVIATIONS
The definitions in this Part are for purposes of this permit only.
1. "Active Karst" means geographic areas underlain by carbonate bedrock (or other forms of bedrock
that can erode or dissolve) with less than 50 feet of sediment cover.
2. "Agency" means the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency or MPCA. (Minn. Stat. § 116.36, subd. 2.)
3. "Alum or Ferric Chloride Phosphorus Treatment System" means the diversion of flowing
stormwater from a MS4, removal of phosphorus through the use a continuous feed of alum or ferric
chloride additive, flocculation, and the return of the treated stormwater back into a MS4 or
receiving water.
4. "Applicable WLA" - means a Waste Load Allocation assigned to the permittee and approved by the
USEPA.
5. "Best Management Practices" or `BMPs" means practices to prevent or reduce the pollution of the
waters of the state, including schedules of activities, prohibitions of practices, and other
management practices, and also includes treatment requirements, operating procedures and
practices to control plant site runoff, spillage or leaks, sludge, or waste disposal or drainage from
raw material storage. (Minn. R. 7001.1020, subp.5.)
6. "Commissioner" means the Commissioner of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency or the
Commissioner's designee. (Minn. Stat. § 116.36, subd. 3.)
7. "Common Plan of Development or Sale" means a contiguous area where multiple separate and
distinct land disturbing activities may be taking place at different times, on different schedules, but
under one proposed plan. One plan is broadly defined to include design, permit application,
advertisement or physical demarcation indicating that land -disturbing activities may occur.
8. "Construction Activity" includes construction activity as defined in 40 CFR
§ 122.26(b)(14)(x) and small construction activity as defined in 40 CFR § 122.26(b)(15). This includes
a disturbance to the land that results in a change in the topography, existing soil cover (both
vegetative and non -vegetative), or the existing soil topography that may result in accelerated
stormwater runoff, leading to soil erosion and movement of sediment into surface waters or
drainage systems. Examples of construction activity may include clearing, grading, filling, and
excavating. Construction activity includes the disturbance of less than one acre of total land area
that is a part of a larger common plan of development or sale if the larger common plan will
ultimately disturb one (1) acre or more.
9. "DNR Catchment Area" means the Hydrologic Unit 08 areas delineated and digitized by the
Minnesota DNR. The catchment areas are available for download at the Minnesota DNR Data Deli
website. DNR catchment areas may be locally corrected, in which case the local corrections may be
used.
10. "Effective Date" means the date, located on the front cover of this permit, on which this permit
shall become effective.
Page 34 of 38
Permit No: MNR040000
11. "Existing Permittee" means an Owner/Operator of a small MS4 that has been authorized to
discharge stormwater under a previously issued general permit for small MS4s in the state of
Minnesota.
12. "General permit' means a permit issued under Minn. R. 7001.0210 to a category of permittees
whose operations, emissions, activities, discharges, or facilities are the same or substantially similar.
(Minn. R. 7001.0010, subp.4.)
13. "Geographic Coordinate" means the point location of a stormwater feature expressed by
X, Y coordinates of a standard Cartesian coordinate system (i.e. latitude/longitude) that can be
readily converted to Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), Zone 15N in the NAD83 datum. For
polygon features, the geographic coordinate will typically define the approximate center of a
stormwater feature.
14. "Green Infrastructure" means a wide array of practices at multiple scales that manage wet weather
and that maintains or restores natural hydrology by infiltrating, evapotranspiring, or harvesting and
using stormwater. On a regional scale, green infrastructure is the preservation or restoration of
natural landscape features, such as forests, floodplains and wetlands, coupled with policies such as
infill and redevelopment that reduce overall imperviousness in a watershed. On the local scale,
green infrastructure consists of site and neighborhood -specific practices, such as bioretention, trees,
green roofs, permeable pavements and cisterns.
15. "High Flow Bypass" means a function of an inlet device that allows a certain flow of water through,
but diverts any higher flows away. High flow bypasses are generally used for BMPs that can only
treat a designed amount of flow and that would be negatively affected by higher flows.
16. "Illicit Discharge" means any discharge to a municipal separate storm sewer that is not composed
entirely of stormwater except discharges pursuant to a NPDES permit (other than the NPDES permit
for discharges from the municipal separate storm sewer) and discharges resulting from firefighting
activities. (40 CFR § 122.26(b)(2))
17. "Impaired Water" means waters identified as impaired by the Agency, and approved by the USEPA,
pursuant to section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. § 303(d)).
18. "Maximum Extent Practicable" or "MEP" means the statutory standard (33 U.S.C.
§ 1342(p)(3)(B)(iii)) that establishes the level of pollutant reductions that an Owner or Operator of
Regulated MS4s must achieve. The USEPA has intentionally not provided a precise definition of MEP
to allow maximum flexibility in MS4 permitting. The pollutant reductions that represent MEP may
be different for each small MS4, given the unique local hydrologic and geologic concerns that may
exist and the differing possible pollutant control strategies. Therefore, each permittee will
determine appropriate BMPs to satisfy each of the six Minimum Control Measures (MCMs) through
an evaluative process. The USEPA envisions application of the MEP standard as an iterative process.
19. "Municipal separate storm sewer system" or "MS4" means a conveyance or system of conveyances
including roads with drainage systems, municipal streets, catch basins, curbs, gutters, ditches, man-
made channels, or storm drains:
a. owned or operated by a state, city, town, county, district, association, or other public body,
created by or pursuant to state law, having jurisdiction over disposal of sewage, industrial
Page 35 of 38
Permit No: MNR040000
wastes, stormwater, or other wastes, including special districts under state law such as a sewer
district, flood control district, or drainage district or similar entity, or an Indian tribe or an
authorized Indian tribe organization, or a designated and approved management Agency under
section 208 of the federal Clean Water Act, United States Code, title 33, section 1288, that
discharges into waters of the state
b. designed or used for collecting or conveying stormwater
c. that is not a combined sewer: and
d. that is not part of a publicly owned treatment works as defined in 40 CFR § 122.2
Municipal separate storm sewer systems do not include separate storm sewers in very discrete
areas, such as individual buildings. (Minn. R. 7090.0080, subp. 8).
20. "New development' means all construction activity that is not defined as redevelopment.
21. "New Permittee" means an Owner/Operator of a small MS4 that has not been authorized to
discharge stormwater under a previously issued General Stormwater Permit for small MS4s in the
state of Minnesota and that applies for, and obtains coverage under this permit.
22. "Non-Stormwater Discharge" means any discharge not composed entirely of stormwater.
23. "Operator" means the person with primary operational control and legal responsibility for the
municipal separate storm sewer system. (Minn. R. 7090.0080, subp.10.)
24. "Outfall" means the point source where a municipal separate storm sewer system discharges to a
receiving water, or the stormwater discharge permanently leaves the permittee's MS4. It does not
include diffuse runoff or conveyances that connect segments of the same stream or water systems
(e.g., when a conveyance temporarily leaves an MS4 at a road crossing).
25. "Owner" means the person that owns the municipal separate storm sewer system. (Minn. R.
7090.0080, subp.11.)
26. "Permittee" means a person or persons, that signs the permit application submitted to the Agency
and is responsible for compliance with the terms and conditions of this permit.
27. "Person" means the state or any Agency or institution thereof, any municipality, governmental
subdivision, public or private corporation, individual, partnership, or other entity, including, but not
limited to, association, commission or any interstate body, and includes any officer or governing or
managing body of any municipality, governmental subdivision, or public or private corporation, or
other entity.(Minn. Stat. § 115.01, subd. 10.)
28. "Pipe" means a closed manmade conveyance device used to transport stormwater from location to
location. The definition of pipe does not include foundation drain pipes, irrigation pipes, land drain
tile pipes, culverts, and road sub -grade drain pipes.
29. "Pollutant of Concern" means a pollutant specifically identified in a USEPA-approved TMDL report
as causing a water quality impairment.
Page 36 of 38
Permit No: MNR040000

areas to be disturbed have 15 percent or more of impervious surface(s).
32. "Reduce" means reduce to the Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP) unless otherwise defined in the
context in which it is used.
33. "Saturated Soil" means the highest seasonal elevation in the soil that is in a reduced chemical state
because of soil voids being filled with water. Saturated soil is evidenced by the presence of
redoximorphic features or other information.
34. "Significant Materials" includes, but is not limited to: raw materials, fuels, materials such as
solvents, detergents, and plastic pellets; finished materials such as metallic products; raw materials
used in food processing or production; hazardous substances designated under Section 101(14) of
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA); any
chemical the facility is required to report pursuant to Section 313 of the Emergency Planning and
Community Right -to -Know Act (EPCRA); fertilizers, pesticides, and waste products such as ashes,
slag, and sludge that have the potential to be released with stormwater discharges. When
determining whether a material is significant, the physical and chemical characteristics of the
material should be considered (e.g. the material's solubility, transportability, and toxicity
characteristics) to determine the material's pollution potential. (40 CFR § 122.26(b)(12).
35. "Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System" or "small MS4", means all separate storm sewers
that are:
1. Owned or operated by the United States, a state, city, town, borough, county, parish, district,
association, or other public body (created by or pursuant to state law) having jurisdiction over
disposal of sewage, industrial wastes, stormwater, or other wastes, including special districts
under state law such as a sewer district, flood control district or drainage district, or similar
entity, or an Indian tribe or an authorized Indian tribal organization, or a designated and
approved management Agency under section 208 of the CWA that discharges to waters of the
United States.
2. Not defined as "large' or "medium" Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems pursuant to 40
CFR § 122.26 paragraphs (b)(4) and (b)(7) or designated under paragraph (a)(1)(v).
3. This term includes systems similar to separate storm sewer systems in municipalities, such as
systems at military bases, large hospital or prison complexes, and highways and other
thoroughfares. The term does not include separate storm sewers in very discrete areas, such as
individual buildings.
36. "Stormwater" means stormwater runoff, snow melt runoff, and surface runoff and drainage. (Minn.
R. 7090.0080, subp.12.)
37. "Stormwater flow direction" means the direction of predominant flow within a pipe. Flow direction
can be discerned if pipe elevations can be displayed on the storm sewer system map.
Page 37 of 38
Permit No: MNR040000
38. "Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program" or "SWPPP" means a comprehensive program
developed by the permittee to manage and reduce the discharge of pollutants in stormwater to and
from the small MS4.
39. "Structural Stormwater BMP" means a stationary and permanent BMP that is designed,
constructed and operated to prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants in stormwater.
40. `Total Maximum Daily Load" or "TMDL" means the sum of the individual Waste Load Allocations
for point sources and load allocations for nonpoint sources and natural background, as more fully
defined in 40 CFR § 130.2, paragraph (i). A TMDL sets and allocates the maximum amount of a
pollutant that may be introduced into a water of the state and still assure attainment and
maintenance of water quality standards. (Minn.
R. 7052.0010 subp. 42)
41. "Waste Load Allocation" or "WLA" means the portion of a receiving water's loading capacity that is
allocated to one of its existing or future point sources of pollution, as more fully defined in Code of
Federal Regulations, title 40, section 130.2, paragraph (h). In the absence of a TMDL approved by
USEPA under 40 CFR § 130.7, or an assessment and remediation plan developed and approved
according to Minn. R. 7052.0200 subp. 1.C, a WLA is the allocation for an individual point source
that ensures that the level of water quality to be achieved by the point source is derived from and
complies with all applicable water quality standards and criteria. (Minn. R. 7052.0010 subp. 45)
42. "Water pollution" means (a) the discharge of any pollutant into any waters of the state or the
contamination of any waters of the state so as to create a nuisance or render such waters unclean,
or noxious, or impure so as to be actually or potentially harmful or detrimental or injurious to public
health, safety or welfare, to domestic, agricultural, commercial, industrial, recreational or other
legitimate uses, or to livestock, animals, birds, fish or other aquatic life; or (b) the alteration made or
induced by human activity of the chemical, physical, biological, or radiological integrity of waters of
the state. (Minn. Stat. § 115.01, subd. 13)
43. "Water Quality Standards" means those provisions contained in Minn. R. 7050 and 7052.
44. "Waters of the State" means all streams, lakes, ponds, marshes, watercourses, waterways, wells,
springs, reservoirs, aquifers, irrigation systems, drainage systems and all other bodies or
accumulations of water, surface or underground, natural or artificial, public or private, which are
contained within, flow through, or border upon the state or any portion thereof. (Minn. Stat.
§ 115.01, subd. 22.)
45. "Wetlands" are those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface water or groundwater at a
frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a
prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally
include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas. Constructed wetlands designed for wastewater
treatment are not waters of the state. Wetlands must have the following attributes:
1. A predominance of hydric soils
2. Inundated or saturated by surface water or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient
to support a prevalence of hydrophytic vegetation typically adapted for life in a saturated soil
condition and

72.A.2. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must minimize the need for disturbance of portions of the project with steep slopes.
When steep slopes must be disturbed, owner(s)/operator(s) must use techniques such as phasing and
stabilization practices designed for steep slopes (e.g., slope draining and terracing).
72.A.3. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must stabilize all exposed soil areas, including stockpiles. Stabilization must be
initiated immediately to limit soil erosion when construction activity has permanently or temporarily
ceased on any portion of the site and will not resume for a period exceeding 14 calendar days.
Stabilization must be completed no later than 14 calendar days after the construction activity has
ceased. Stabilization is not required on constructed base components of roads, parking lots and similar
surfaces. Stabilization is not required on temporary stockpiles without significant silt, clay or organic
components (e.g., clean aggregate stockpiles, demolition concrete stockpiles, sand stockpiles) but
owner(s)/operator(s) must provide sediment controls at the base of the stockpile.

wq-strm4-49a • 9123120 Page 12 of 32
72.A.4. ❑ For Public Waters that the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has promulgated "work in
water restrictions" during specified fish spawning time frames, owner(s)/operator(s) must complete
stabilization of all exposed soil areas within 200 feet of the water's edge, and that drain to these waters,
within 24 hours during the restriction period.
72.A.5. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must stabilize the normal wetted perimeter of the last 200 linear feet of temporary or
permanent drainage ditches or swales that drain water from the site within 24 hours after connecting to a
surface water or property edge. Owner(s)/operator(s) must complete stabilization of the remaining portions
of temporary or permanent ditches or swales within 14 calendar days after connecting to a surface water or
property edge and construction in that portion of the ditch temporarily or permanently ceases.
72.A.6. ❑ Temporary or permanent ditches or swales that are being used as a sediment containment system during
construction (with properly designed rock -ditch checks, bio rolls, silt dikes, etc.) do not need to be stabilized.
Owner(s)/operator(s) must stabilize these areas within 24 hours after their use as a sediment containment
system ceases.
72.A.7. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must not use mulch, hydromulch, tackifier, polyacrylamide or similar erosion
prevention practices within any portion of the normal wetted perimeter of a temporary or permanent
drainage ditch or swale section with a continuous slope of greater than two percent.
72.A.8. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must provide temporary or permanent energy dissipation at all pipe outlets within 24
hours after connection to a surface water or permanent stormwater treatment system.
72.A.9. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must not disturb more land (i.e., phasing) than can be effectively inspected and
maintained.
72.B. Sediment control practices:
72.B.1. ❑ Ovvner(s)/operator(s) must establish sediment control BMPs on all down gradient perimeters of the site and
downgradient areas of the site that drain to any surface water, including curb and gutter systems.
Owner(s)/operator(s) must locate sediment control practices upgradient of any buffer zones.
Owner(s)/operator(s) must install sediment control practices before any upgradient land -disturbing activities
begin and must keep the sediment control practices in place until they establish permanent cover.
72.13.2. ❑ If the downgradient sediment controls are overloaded, based on frequent failure or excessive
maintenance requirements, owner(s)/operator(s) must install additional upgradient sediment control
practices or redundant BMPs to eliminate the overloading and amend the site plans to identify these
additional practices.
72.13.3. ❑ Temporary or permanent drainage ditches and sediment basins designed as part of a sediment
containment system (e.g., ditches with rock -check dams) require sediment control practices only as
appropriate for site conditions.
72.13.4. ❑ A floating silt curtain placed in the water is not a sediment control BMP to satisfy perimeter control
requirements in this part except when working on a shoreline or below the waterline. Immediately after
the short term construction activity (e.g. installation of rip rap along the shoreline) in that area is
complete, owner(s)/operator(s) must install an upland perimeter control practice if exposed soils still
drain to a surface water.
72.13.5. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must re -install all sediment control practices adjusted or removed to accommodate
short-term activities such as clearing or grubbing, or passage of vehicles, immediately after the short-term
activity is completed. Owner(s)/operator(s) must re -install sediment control practices before the next
precipitation event even if the short-term activity is not complete.
72.13.6. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must protect all storm drain inlets using appropriate BMPs during construction until
they establish permanent cover on all areas with potential for discharging to the inlet.
72.13.7. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) may remove inlet protection for a particular inlet if a specific safety concern (e.g., street
flooding/freezing) is identified by owner(s)/operator(s) or the jurisdictional authority (e.g., city/county/township/
MnDOT engineer). Owner(s)/operator(s) must document the need for removal in the site plans.
72.13.8. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must provide silt fence or other effective sediment controls at the base of stockpiles
on the downgradient perimeter.
72.13.9. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must locate stockpiles outside of natural buffers or surface waters, including stormwater
conveyances such as curb and gutter systems unless there is a bypass in place for the stormwater.
72.B.10. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must install a vehicle tracking BMP to minimize the track out of sediment from the
construction site or onto paved roads within the site.
72.B.11. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must use street sweeping if vehicle tracking BMPs are not adequate to prevent
sediment tracking onto the street.
72.B.12. ❑ In any areas of the site where final vegetative stabilization will occur, owner(s)/operator(s) must restrict
vehicle and equipment use to minimize soil compaction.
72.B.13. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must preserve topsoil on the site, unless infeasible.
72.B.14. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must direct discharges from BMPs to vegetated areas unless infeasible.
72.B.15. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must preserve a 50 foot natural buffer or, if a buffer is infeasible on the site, provide
redundant (double) perimeter sediment controls when a surface water is located within 50 feet of the
project's earth disturbances and stormwater flows to the surface water. Owner(s)/operator(s) must install

wq-strm4-49a • 9123120 Page 13 of 32
perimeter sediment controls at least 5 feet apart unless limited by lack of available space. Natural buffers
are not required adjacent to road ditches, judicial ditches, county ditches, stormwater conveyance channels,
storm drain inlets, and sediment basins. If preserving the buffer is infeasible, ovvner(s)/operator(s) must
document the reasons in the site plans. Sheet piling is a redundant perimeter control if installed in a manner
that retains all stormwater.
72.13.16. ❑ Ovvner(s)/operator(s) must use polymers, flocculants, or other sedimentation treatment chemicals in
accordance with accepted engineering practices, dosing specifications and sediment removal design
specifications provided by the manufacturer or supplier. Owner(s)/operator(s) must use conventional
erosion and sediment controls prior to chemical addition and must direct treated stormwater to a sediment
control system for filtration or settlement of the floc prior to discharge.
72.C. Dewatering and basin draining:
72.C.1. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must discharge turbid or sediment -laden waters related to dewatering or basin draining
(e.g., pumped discharges, trench/ditch cuts for drainage) to a temporary or permanent sediment basin on the
project site unless infeasible. Owner(s)/operator(s) may dewater to surface waters if they visually check to
ensure adequate treatment has been obtained and nuisance conditions (see Minn. R. 7050.0210, subp. 2)
will not result from the discharge. If owner(s)/operator(s) cannot discharge the water to a sedimentation basin
prior to entering a surface water, owner(s)/operator(s) must treat it with appropriate BMPs such that the
discharge does not adversely affect the surface water or downstream properties.
72.C.2. ❑ If owner(s)/operator(s) must discharge water that contains oil or grease, owner(s)/operator(s) must use an
oil -water separator or suitable filtration device (e.g. cartridge filters, absorbents pads) prior to discharge.
72.C.3. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must discharge all water from dewatering or basin -draining activities in a manner that
does not cause erosion or scour in the immediate vicinity of discharge points or inundation of wetlands in
the immediate vicinity of discharge points that causes significant adverse impact to the wetland.
72.C.4. ❑ If owner(s)/operator(s) use filters with backwash water, they must haul the backwash water away for
disposal, return the backwash water to the beginning of the treatment process, or incorporate the
backwash water into the site in a manner that does not cause erosion.
72.D. Inspection and maintenance:
72.D.1. ❑ Ovvner(s)/operator(s) must ensure that a trained person will inspect the entire construction site at least once
every seven (7) days during active construction and within 24 hours after a rainfall event greater than one-
half inch in 24 hours.
72.D.2. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must inspect and maintain all permanent stormwater treatment BMPs.
72.D.3. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must inspect all erosion prevention and sediment control BMPs and Pollution
Prevention Management Measures to ensure integrity and effectiveness. Owner(s)/operator(s) must
repair, replace, or supplement all nonfunctional BMPs with functional BMPs by the end of the next
business day after discovery unless another time frame is specified below. Owner(s)/operator(s) may
take additional time if field conditions prevent access to the area.
72.D.4. ❑ During each inspection, owner(s)/operator(s) must inspect surface waters, including drainage ditches
and conveyance systems but not curb and gutter systems, for evidence of erosion and sediment
deposition. Owner(s)/operator(s) must remove all deltas and sediment deposited in surface waters,
including drainage ways, catch basins, and other drainage systems and restabilize the areas where
sediment removal results in exposed soil. Owner(s)/operator(s) must complete removal and stabilization
within seven (7) calendar days of discovery unless precluded by legal, regulatory, or physical access
constraints. Owner(s)/operator(s) must use all reasonable efforts to obtain access. If precluded, removal
and stabilization must take place within seven (7) calendar days of obtaining access.
Owner(s)/operator(s) are responsible for contacting all local, regional, state and federal authorities and
receiving any applicable permits, prior to conducting any work in surface waters.
72.D.5. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must inspect construction site vehicle exit locations, streets and curb and gutter
systems within and adjacent to the project for sedimentation from erosion or tracked sediment from
vehicles. Owner(s)/operator(s) must remove sediment from all paved surfaces within one (1) calendar day
of discovery or, if applicable, within a shorter time to avoid a safety hazard to users of public streets.
72.D.6. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must repair, replace, or supplement all perimeter control devices when they become
nonfunctional or the sediment reaches one-half of the height of the device.
72.D.7. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must drain temporary and permanent sedimentation basins and remove the sediment
when the depth of sediment collected in the basin reaches one-half of the storage volume.
72.D.8. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must ensure that at least one individual present on the site (or available to the project
site in three (3) calendar days) is trained in the job duties of overseeing the implementation of, revising
and/or amending the site plans and performing inspections for the project.
72.D.9. ❑Owner(s)/operator(s)may adjust the inspection schedule as follows:
a. inspections of areas with permanent cover can be reduced to once per month, even if construction
activity continues on other portions of the site; or
b. where construction sites have permanent cover on all exposed soil areas and no construction activity is
occurring anywhere on the site, inspections can be reduced to once per month and, after 12 months,
may be suspended completely until construction activity resumes. The MPCA may require inspections
to resume if conditions warrant, or

wq-strm4-49a • 9123120 Page 14 of 32
c. where construction activity has been suspended due to frozen ground conditions, inspections may be
suspended. Inspections must resume within 24 hours of runoff occurring, or upon resuming
construction, whichever comes first.
72.D.10 ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must record all inspections and maintenance activities within 24 hours of being
conducted and these records must be retained with the site plans. These records must include:
a. date and time of inspections, and
b. name of person(s) conducting inspections, and
c. accurate findings of inspections, including the specific location where corrective actions are needed,
and
d. corrective actions taken (including dates, times, and party completing maintenance activities), and
e. date of all rainfall events greater than one-half inch in 24 hours, and the amount of rainfall for each
event. Owner(s)/operator(s) must obtain rainfall amounts by either a properly maintained rain gauge
installed onsite, a weather station that is within one (1) mile of owner(s)/operator(s)r location, or a
weather reporting system that provides site specific rainfall data from radar summaries, and
f. if owner(s)/operator(s) observe a discharge during the inspection, they must record and should
photograph and describe the location of the discharge (i.e., color, odor, settled or suspended solids, oil
sheen, and other obvious indicators of pollutants), and
g. any amendments to the site plans proposed as a result of the inspection must be documented within
seven (7) calendar days.
72.E. Inspection and maintenance:
72.E.1. ❑ Ovvner(s)/operator(s) must place building products and landscape materials under cover (e.g., plastic
sheeting or temporary roofs) or protect them by similarly effective means designed to minimize contact with
stormwater. Ovvner(s)/operator(s) are not required to cover or protect products which are either not a
source of contamination to stormwater or are designed to be exposed to stormwater.
72.E.2. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must place pesticides, fertilizers and treatment chemicals under cover (e.g., plastic
sheeting or temporary roofs) or protect them by similarly effective means designed to minimize contact
with stormwater.
72.E.3. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must store hazardous materials and toxic waste, (including oil, diesel fuel, gasoline,
hydraulic fluids, paint solvents, petroleum -based products, wood preservatives, additives, curing
compounds, and acids) in sealed containers to prevent spills, leaks or other discharge. Storage and
disposal of hazardous waste materials must be in compliance with Minn. R. ch. 7045 including
secondary containment as applicable.
72.E.4. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must properly store, collect, and dispose of solid waste in compliance with
Minn. R. ch. 7035.
72.E.5. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must position portable toilets so they are secure and will not tip or be knocked over.
Owner(s)/operator(s) must dispose of sanitary waste in accordance with Minn. R. ch. 7041.
72.E.6. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must take reasonable steps to prevent the discharge of spilled or leaked chemicals,
including fuel, from any area where chemicals or fuel will be loaded or unloaded including the use of drip
pans or absorbents unless infeasible. Owner(s)/operator(s) must ensure adequate supplies are available at
all times to clean up discharged materials and that an appropriate disposal method is available for
recovered spilled materials. Owner(s)/operator(s) must report and clean up spills immediately as required
by Minn. Stat. § 115.061, using dry clean up measures where possible.
72.E.7. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must limit vehicle exterior washing and equipment to a defined area of the site.
Owner(s)/operator(s) must contain runoff from the washing area in a sediment basin or other similarly
effective controls and must dispose of waste from the washing activity properly. Owner(s)/operator(s) must
properly use and store soaps, detergents, or solvents.
72.E.8. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must provide effective containment for all liquid and solid wastes generated by
washout operations (e.g., concrete, stucco, paint, form release oils, curing compounds and other
construction materials) related to the construction activity. Owner(s)/operator(s) must prevent liquid and
solid washout wastes from contacting the ground and must design the containment so it does not result in
runoff from the washout operations or areas. Owner(s)/operator(s) must properly dispose of liquid and solid
wastes in compliance with Minn. R. ch. 7035. Owner(s)/operator(s) must install a sign indicating the location
of the washout facility.
72.F. Temporary sediment basins:
72.F.1. ❑ Where ten (10) or more acres of disturbed soil drain to a common location, ovvner(s)/operator(s) must
provide a temporary sediment basin to provide treatment of the runoff before it leaves the construction site
or enters surface waters. Ovvner(s)/operator(s) may convert a temporary sediment basin to a permanent
basin after construction is complete. The temporary basin is no longer required when permanent cover has
reduced the acreage of disturbed soil to less than ten (10) acres draining to a common location.
72.F.2. ❑ The temporary basin must provide live storage for a calculated volume of runoff from a two (2)-year,
24-hour storm from each acre drained to the basin or 1,800 cubic feet of live storage per acre drained,
whichever is greater.
https://www.pca.state.mn.us 651-296-6300 800-657-3864 Use your preferred relay service Available in alternative formats
wq-strm4-49a • 9123120 Page 15 of 32
72.F.3. ❑ Where owner(s)/operator(s) have not calculated the two (2)-year, 24-hour storm runoff amount, the temporary
sediment basin must provide 3,600 cubic feet of live storage per acre of the basin's drainage area.
72.F.4. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must design basin outlets to prevent short-circuiting and the discharge of floating debris.
72.F.5. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must design the outlet structure to withdraw water from the surface to minimize the
discharge of pollutants. Owner(s)/operator(s) may temporarily suspend the use of a surface withdrawal
mechanism during frozen conditions. The basin must include a stabilized emergency overflow to prevent
failure of pond integrity.
72.F.6. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must provide energy dissipation for the basin outlet within 24 hours after connection to
a surface water.
72.F.7. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must locate temporary basins outside of surface waters and any required buffer zones.
72.F.8. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must construct temporary basins prior to disturbing (10) or more acres of soil draining
to a common location.
72.F.9. ❑ Where a temporary sediment basin meeting the requirements of this part is infeasible, owner(s)/operator(s)
must install effective sediment controls such as smaller sediment basins and/or sediment traps, silt fences,
vegetative buffer strips or any appropriate combination of measures as dictated by individual site conditions.
In determining whether installing a sediment basin is infeasible, owner(s)/operator(s) must consider public
safety and may consider factors such as site soils, slope, and available area on -site. Owner(s)/operator(s)
must document this determination of infeasibility in the site plans.
72.G. Termination conditions:
72.G.1. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must complete all construction activity and must install permanent cover over all
areas. Vegetative cover must consist of a uniform perennial vegetation with a density of 70 percent of its
expected final growth. Vegetation is not required where the function of a specific area dictates no
vegetation, such as impervious surfaces or the base of a sand filter.
72.G.2. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must clean the permanent stormwater treatment system of any accumulated
sediment and must ensure the system meets all applicable requirements and is operating as designed.
72.F.3. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must remove all sediment from conveyance systems.
72.G.4. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must remove all temporary synthetic erosion prevention and sediment control
BMPs. Owner(s)/operator(s) may leave BMPs designed to decompose on -site in place.
72.G.5. ❑ For residential construction only, permit coverage terminates on individual lots if the structure(s) are finished
and temporary erosion prevention and downgradient perimeter control is complete and the residence sells
to the homeowner.
72.G.6. ❑ For construction projects on agricultural land (e.g., pipelines across cropland), owner(s)/operator(s) must
return the disturbed land to its preconstruction agricultural use.
72.H. If applicable, additional requirements for discharges to special and impaired waters:
72.H.1. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must immediately initiate stabilization of exposed soil areas, and complete the
stabilization within seven (7) calendar days after the construction activity in that portion of the site
temporarily or permanently ceases.
72.H.2. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must provide a temporary sediment basin for common drainage locations that
serve an area with five (5) or more acres disturbed at one time.
72.H.3. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must include an undisturbed buffer zone of not less than 100 linear feet from a
special water (not including tributaries) and must maintain this buffer zone at all times, both during
construction and as a permanent feature post construction, except where a water crossing or other
encroachment is necessary to complete the project. Owner(s)/operator(s) must fully document the
circumstance and reasons the buffer encroachment is necessary in the site plans and include restoration
activities. Owner(s)/operator(s) must minimize all potential water quality, scenic and other environmental
impacts of these exceptions by the use of additional or redundant (double) BMPs and must document
this in the site plans for the project.
72.H.4. ❑ Owner(s)/operator(s) must conduct routine site inspections once every three (3) days for projects that
discharge to prohibited waters.

surface or one-half (0.5) inch times the sum of the new and the fully reconstructed impervious surface. Where the entire
water quality volume cannot be treated within the existing right-of-way, a reasonable attempt to obtain additional
right-of-way, easement, or other permission to treat the stormwater during the project planning process must be made.
Volume reduction practices must be considered first, as described in item 20.8. Volume reduction practices are not
required if the practices cannot be provided cost effectively. If additional right-of-way, easements, or other permission
cannot be obtained, owners of construction activity must maximize the treatment of the water quality volume prior to
discharge from the MS4. [Minn. R. 7090]
20.8
Volume reduction practices (e.g., infiltration or other) to retain the water quality volume on -site must be considered first
when designing the permanent stormwater treatment system. The General Permit does not consider wet sedimentation

determination, the owners and/or operators of construction activity must complete the Agency's site screening assessment
checklist, which is available in the Minnesota Stormwater Manual, or conduct their own assessment. The assessment must
be retained with the site plans;
c. where soil infiltration rates are more than 8.3 inches per hour unless soils are amended to slow the infiltration rate below
8.3 inches per hour;
d. with less than three (3) feet of separation distance from the bottom of the infiltration system to the elevation of the
seasonally saturated soils or the top of bedrock;
e. of predominately Hydrologic Soil Group D (clay) soils;

27.19
"Maximum Extent Practicable" or "MEP" means the statutory standard (33 U.S.C. 1342(p)(3)(13)(iii)) that establishes the
level of pollutant reductions that an owner or operator of regulated MS4s must achieve. The USEPA has intentionally not
provided a precise definition of MEP to allow maximum flexibility in MS4 permitting. The pollutant reductions that
represent MEP may be different for each small MS4, given the unique local hydrologic and geologic concerns that may exist
and the differing possible pollutant control strategies. Therefore, each permittee will determine appropriate BMPs to
satisfy each of the six Minimum Control Measures (MCMs) through an evaluative process. The USEPA envisions application
of the MEP standard as an iterative process. [Minn. R. 7090]

Resident Tips
• Managing Salt Use
• The more snow and ice you remove manually, the less salt you will have
to use and the more effective it can be.
• 150F is too cold for salt.
• Most salts stop working at this temperature. Use sand instead for traction, but
remember that sand does not melt ice.
• More salt does not mean more melting.
• Use less than 4 pounds of salt per 1,000 square feet (an average parking space is
about 150 square feet). One pound of salt is approximately a heaping 12-ounce
coffee mug.
• Sweep up extra.
• If salt or sand is visible on dry pavement it is no longer doing any work and will be
washed away. Use this salt or sand somewhere else or throw it away.
• Pick up pet waste
• Irrigate lawns with 1" of water per week
