MEMORANDUM
To: Paul Oehme, Director of Public Works /City Engineerld
From: Terrance Jeffery, Water Resources Coordinator �z
Date: June 27, 2011
Re: National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit 2010 Annual Report — SWMP15
ACTION REQUIRED
Staff is requesting the City Council:
1. Receive public comment on the City's NPDES Phase II MS4 Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Program and 2010 Annual Report; and
2. Approve the Annual Report for 2010; authorize mayor's signature and submittal to
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (simple majority).
PROPOSED MOTION
The Chanhassen City Council authorizes the Mayor to sign the City's National Pollution
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II Annual Report, as attached to this report,
and authorizes the distribution of the Annual Report to the Minnesota Pollution Control
BACKGROUND
In June, 2002, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) issued a MS4 general permit
for cities discharging stormwater into waters of the state. Shortly after the permit was issued,
the Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy (MCEA) filed an appeal for the permit
indicating that it was inappropriate to issue a general permit in place of individual permits
and because they believed the MPCA failed to address non - degradation and education as part
of the permit. In May, 2003, the Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the MCEA.
The MPCA has since revised their permit to address additional requirements.
The City of Chanhassen was permitted to discharge stormwater under the National Pollution
Discharge Elimination System, Phase II in 2003. The City operated under this permit until
2006. At this time, a court decision required that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
(MPCA) modify the permit to address anti - degradation (formerly referred to as non -
degradation) of public waters among other items.
In June of 2006, the City was issued a second NPDES Municipal Separate Storm Sewer
System (MS4) permit. This permit is for five years and expired on May 31, 2011. As
required under Minnesota Rule 7001.0040, the City submitted their application for the MS4
permit on November 22, 2010. The MPCA issued public notice for the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) State Disposal System (SDS) General Permit
G:\ENG \Terry\NPDES Phase II\MS4 Permit\2010 Annual Report\062711 2010 NPDES Council Memo.doc
Chanhassen is a Community for Life - Providing for Today and Planning forTomorrow
(MNR040000) for discharges of stormwater associated with small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems
(MS4s) on Tuesday, May 31, 2011.
HIGHLIGHTS OF PROGRESS — 2010
We are fully implementing the entire Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan ( SWPPP) for the NPDES
permit. Last summer, we completed inspections of all ponds, outfalls and inlets including all MS4 regulated
outfalls — outfalls that originate within but discharge outside of our municipal boundaries. Most outfalls were
found to be in good condition and operating as designed. The remainder has been or is currently being
repaired.
Throughout 2010, the City focused primarily on maintenance of the existing infrastructure including pond
cleanouts as well as cleanout of structural management devices, drainage issues and conveyance maintenance.
In an effort to manage our existing infrastructure more efficiently, the City has implemented CarteGraphTM
asset management software maintain to develop a database of all stormsewer infrastructure inspections,
maintenance and installation. Currently, CarteGraphTM is being employed within the Engineering and Utility
Departments with the goal of utilizing the software to manage all City assets. This software works with
existing Geographic Positioning System (GPS) equipment to allow Streets, Utility and Engineering staff to
access and input information on the stormsewer system and is fully integrated into our Geographic
Information System (GIS) software.
The City has been working more collaboratively with Carver County Water, Environment and Natural
Resources (WENR), the Metropolitan Watershed Partners, Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and NEMO
to provide education materials through a variety of media formats and outlets. The Metropolitan Watershed
Partners is a coalition of more than sixty public, private and non - profit organizations in the Twin Cities area.
Part of this collaboration includes the Metro Media Campaign which has produced and disseminated hundreds
of public service announcements on dozens of media outlets.
By cooperating with Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and WENR, the City was able to provide seminars
on inspection, maintenance and management tailored to public works employees and private contractors
which we might otherwise not have been able to offer. These included seminars on road salt application, turf
management, illicit discharge detection and elimination and winter parking lot and sidewalk maintenance.
Chanhassen also partnered with WENR to provide the Stream Health Evaluation Program (SHEP) which is
similar to the Citizen Assisted Monitoring Program for area lakes. In both cases, area residents monitor the
water bodies for overall health and this data is catalogued and used. Education and outreach was extended to
area schools as well through the Wetlands Education Program held in September of last year and the
Children's Water Festival. The Children's Water Festival is held at the State Fairgrounds and is intended to
educate 5 th grade students about water resources. Forty-four schools were involved in this event.
Unfortunately, none from Chanhassen were able to participate this year.
MOVING FORWARD
In the future, the City is looking to continue existing partnerships while looking for new opportunities to work
with other organizations to avoid duplicative efforts. We will continue maintaining existing infrastructure
including pond inventories and dredging and capitalize on other large scale projects such as road replacements
to provide additional treatment, rate control and volume reduction. The Bluff Creek Total Maximum Daily
Load Assessment should be finished in September of this year and the new MS4 permit is currently out in its
draft form. We will review our SWPPP and make any edits, additions or deletions when these are finalized.

2010 ANNUAL NPDES MS4 REPORT
HIGHLIGHTS
The City's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System
