A growing community with clean lakes, quality schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, winding trails, and beautiful parks. A great place to live, work, and play. From: Lori Haak., Water Resources Coordinator Date: May 22, 2006 Re: National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit Application SUMMARY Staff is requesting the City Council review the City's draft NPDES Phase II MS4 Permit Application and Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) and authorize the Mayor to sign the City's NPDES Phase II MS4 application for submittal to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) by June 1,2006. BACKGROUND In 2003, the CityQf Chanhassen applied for and obtained a permitforthe discharge of stormwater from the Minnesota PollutionControlAgency(MPCA). The City has been operating under this permit for over three years. Inthose intervening three years" a lawsuit was broughtagainsttheMPCAbythe Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy (MCEA). .,Generally,thelMCEA alleged that the MPCA's permit was not incompliance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) requirements for theperrnit.The.. court decision resulted in the MPCA being required to modify theoriginalpenIlit to incorporate some additional items. Amongtheadditionalitemsthat\ViUb~ required by the new permit are a non degradation plan andpublic'noticeatth.e state level. The City's application for this permit is similar to the one ,submitted forthe Origi~alperrnitin 2003, but is. not identical. Theapplicatidn andStormWatel' Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) must be submitted to the MPCA by June 1,2006. MUNICIPAL SEPARATE STORM SEWER SYSTEMS Storm water carries large amounts of sediment and other pollutants from a wide . variety of sources (non-point source pollution). Common non-point source pollutants include oil, grease, salt, sand and litter from roadways and parking areas, pesticides and pet waste from lawns and sediment from construction sites. Todd Gerhardt NPDES Phase II Permit Application May 22, 2006 Page 2 of 3 Polluted storm water runoff is often transported to storm sewer systems and, ultimately, local water bodies without adequate treatment. When the storm sewers deposit polluted runoff into nearby waterways, the pollutants can impair water quality. Impaired water quality can decrease aesthetic values, discourage recreational use, contaminate drinking water supplies and interfere with fish and wildlife habitat. For the reasons stated above the MPCA issues NPDES permits to municipalities as a way of allowing discharges into the waters of the state. The permit holder, the City of Chanhassen, is then required to inspect the system for proper use and maintenance, as well as implement best management practices (BMPs) to reduce the impacts of stormwater to waters of the state. IMPLICATIONS FOR CHANHASSEN The City is required to submit a permit application to the MPCA by June 1, 2006. The application requires each MS4 to develop and submit a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) for their MS4. Chanhassen's SWPPP (Attachment 1) is very comprehensive and incorporates input from every City department. The SWPPP addresses 6 Minimum Control Measures (MCMs), as established by the EPA. The 6 MCMs are: 1. Public Education and Outreach; 2. Public Participation and Involvement; 3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination; 4. Construction Site Runoff Control; 5. Post-Construction Runoff Control; and 6. Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations. For each MCM, the City has identified the best management practices (BMPs) it is using or will begin using to improve stormwater quality in that area. Then, the City must establish measurable goals for each BMP. The goals are not necessarily based on scientific water quality data, but they are measurable in other ways (number of brochures distributed, etc.). Once the application, with the accompanying SWPPP, is received by the MPCA, the MPCA will place the applications up for review and comment by the public. After receipt of public comment, the MPCA will review the applications and issue permits. The City will be covered by the NPDES Phase II MS4 Permit for 5 years (until June 1,2010). During those 5 years, the BMPs in the SWPPP must be implemented. NONDEGRADA TION REQUIREMENTS In addition to the basic permit application and SWPPP requirements, thirty (30) permitted municipalities are required to undertake a nondegradation analysis. These thirty permitted municipalities are referred to in the permit as "Selected MS4s." The selection process developed by the MPCA was based on the population growth experienced by communities during three Todd Gerhardt NPDES Phase II Permit Application May 22, 2006 Page 3 of 3 time periods: from 1990 to 2000, based on census data; from 2000 to 2003, based on State Demographer and Metropolitan Council projections; and from 2000 to 2020, based on State Demographer and Metropolitan Council projections. The Commissioner of the MPCA also considered the size of the community as represented by the 2000 census in determining the list of 30 municipalities. The nondegradation requirements require the City of Chanhassen to develop a loading assessment that will identify if the City of Chanhassen has any new or expanded discharges to waters of the state above and beyond the conditions that existed in 1988. The loading assessment will be a water quality model that is able to predict any changes that may have occurred or may occur between 1988 and 2020 in three parameters: 1. Average Annual Flow Volume; 2. Total Suspended Solids; and 3. Phosphorus. If new or expanded discharges are determined to exist, a nondegradation plan must be developed and submitted to the MPCA. The nondegradation plan will identify the reasonable and practical BMPs that the City will implement to reduce new or expanded discharges to the maximum extent practicable. The nondegradation plan must take public comment into consideration before being submitted to the MPCA for review. Upon final approval, the SWPPP will be modified to address the items in the nondegradation report and must then be implemented. The nondegradation plan for the City of Chanhassen will be due no later than 20 months after the effective dated of the revised NPDES permit (February 1,2008). The loading assessment and nondegradation report will be a separate modeling study from the City's current Surface Water Management Plan. Staff is presently developing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for this work. The RFP will appear on a future City Council agenda for Council review and authorization. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the City Council adopt the following motion: "The Chanhassen City Council authorizes the Mayor to sign the City's NPDES Phase II MS4 General Permit application as compiled by staff and submit the application and all required materials to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency by June 1,2006."

Its 24 square mile area supports 20,321 residents, according to the 2000 census. The city's land use was predominately agricultural until about 20 years ago when it experienced an influx of single family residential development. Approximately two-thirds ofthe land within the city is developed, with a sizeable portion of the undeveloped areas within the Minnesota River bluffs or floodplain. As it grows, residential land uses will continue to dominate Chanhassen's landscape. At ultimate land use conditions, 67% will be residential, 11 % will be undeveloped, 10% will be parks and open space, 1 % will be commercial and less than 10% will be office/industrial. Consequently, this Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) focuses primarily on educating and changing behaviors of residents, municipal officials and municipal employees. RESOURCES Chanhassen contains 11 lakes, over 400 depressional wetlands and over 350 storm water ponds. Its southern border is the Minnesota River, whose valley contains a very rare natural community: the Seminary Fen. The soils in Chanhassen tend to be high in clay content, making infiltration impractical in many situations, and the water table tends to be high. Four major creeks wind through Chanhassen: Bluff Creek, Riley Creek, Purgatory Creek and Assumption Creek. Chanhassen is home to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, a county-owned regional park, a summer camp, a public golf course, a portion of the Raguet Wildlife Management Area, a portion of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge, four elementary schools (St. Hubert, Chapel Hill, Bluff Creek and Chanhassen) and two junior high schools (St. Hubert and Minnetonka West). Sanitary sewer and municipal water are available to approximately two-thirds of the City. There are currently approximately 350 individual sewage treatment systems (ISTS) within Chanhassen's city limits. SELF-ASSESSMENT DESCRIPTION Before beginning to select BMPs and measurable goals for the 2003 NPDES Phase II MS4 Permit, City staff undertook a self-assessment ofChanhassen's storm water system. This was an evaluation of conditions, needs and practices in Chanhassen. The objective ofthis process was to provide a knowledge base upon which to structure the SWPPP in order to meet the permit's Maximum Extent Practicable standard. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program City of Chanhassen, Minnesota June 1,2006 The self-assessment was guided by materials included in the League of Minnesota Cities NPDES Phase II MS4 Guide Plan. This self-assessment process had two major components: . The first workshop session organized as part ofthe LMC Guide Plan project included a self-assessment component led by Pat Collins of AMEC Earth & Environmental. This included: o A discussion of physical and socio-political watershed and organizational conditions and issues that should guide the selection ofBMPs and measurable goals; o A review of two examples of cities with different characteristics to demonstrate how local conditions should shape the selection of BMPs and measurable goals; and o A series of exercises in which our city staff considered the local conditions for our community and how they should guide our selection ofBMPs and measurable goals. . After the workshop session, we worked with the NPDES Phase II Program Assessment Questionnaire that was included in the LMC Guide Plan notebook. This was a twelve-page document with a comprehensive list of questions that we used to guide us through a self-assessment activity, including consideration of a wide range of storm water approaches. The results of this process include: . A better understanding ofthe Phase II program among city staff; . Written notes; and . Questionnaires that were completed by various members of City staff. Together, these items represent our knowledge of our local storm water system and the conditions that shape it. We have used the results of this self-assessment process to guide our selection of BMPs and measurable goals that make up the SWPPP for our Permit Application. Based on this self-assessment process, our staff has considered the following factors in order to meet the Maximum Extent Practicable standard set forth in the Permit: . Sources of pollutants; . Potentially polluting activities being conducted in the watershed; . Sensitivity of receiving waters; . Uses of receiving waters; . Specific local concerns; . The size of Chanhassen; . Climate; . Implementation schedules; . Current ability to finance storm water programs; . Hydrology; . Geology; Page 2 of7 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program City of Chanhassen, Minnesota June 1, 2006 . Capacity to perform operation and maintenance; . Local land uses; . Rate and type of development; . Characteristics of our watershed; and . The organizational characteristics of our city. In addition to the self-assessment process discussed above, our staff has also considered the following non-storm water discharges to determine whether they should be identified as significant contributors of pollutants to the MS4: . Water line flushing, . Landscape irrigation, . Diverted stream flows, . Rising ground waters, . Uncontaminated ground water infiltration, . Uncontaminated pumped ground water, . Discharges from potable water sources, . Foundation drains, . Air condit,ioning condensation, . Irrigation water, . Springs, . Water from crawl space pumps, . Footing drains, . Lawn watering, . Individual residential car washing, . Flows from riparian habitats and wetlands, . Dechlorinated swimming pool discharges, and . Street wash water, discharges or flows from fire fighting activities. During the self-assessment process, the City of Chanhassen did not find any of the additional referenced non-storm water discharges listed above to be significant contributors of pollutants to the storm water system. MINMUM CONTROL MEASURE SUMMARY Below is a summary ofthe best management practices (BMPs) chosen by the City of Chanhassen to attain the permit requirements of the MS4 permit. Each BMP is categorized into a Minimum Control Measures to meet the Maximum Extent Practicable standard set in the permit requirements. Page 3 of?

EVALUATING, RECORDKEEPING AND REPORTING Part VI of the permit contains several additional requirements relative to evaluation and assessment; recordkeeping; public availability; annual reporting; and reporting submittals for the MS4 permit. Below is a description of the City ofChanhassen's plan for adhering to these requirements. Evaluation and Assessment: The City will use the preparation of the annual report as an opportunity to evaluate and assess program compliance, the BMPs that have been chosen and implemented, and the City's progress towards achieving the identified measurable goals. Recordkeeping: The City will keep records related to the NPDES MS4 permit for no less than three (3) years. Public Availability: The City's SWPPP will be available on the City's website (www.cLchanhassen.mn.us). Other records related to the City's NPDES MS4 permit will be available at City Hall (7700 Market Boulevard, Chanhassen, Minnesota) during regular business hours. Copies will be made upon request; a reasonable charge will be assessed for copying. Annual Reporting: An annual report meeting the requirements set forth in Part VI-D will be submitted by June 30 of each year of the permit cycle. Reporting Submittals: All materials required under this permit will be submitted to the address set forth in Part VI-E ofthe permit. OUTST ANDING RESOURCE VAL UE WATERS Part IX (Appendix C) of the permit sets forth limitations on discharges meeting certain criteria. One of these criteria is related to Outstanding Resource Value Waters (ORVWs). Special permit conditions apply to Waters with Prohibited Discharges, Discharges to Waters with Restricted Discharges and Discharges Adversely Impacting Trout Waters. The City ofChanhassen contains a Water with Restricted Discharges (Seminary Fen) and a Trout Water (Assumption Creek). These resources are in the southern part of Chanhassen, in an area that is relatively undeveloped. The City of Chanhassen' s MS4 has not added new or expanded discharges to these listed waters since January 1, 1988. For this reason, Chanhassen rebuts the presumption that it must comply with the provisions of Parts IX-B and C. Page 6 of7 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program City of Chanhassen, Minnesota June 1, 2006 There are a number of outfalls into the area near the Seminary Fen and Assumption Creek; however, they are not under the City ofChanhassen's operational control. A majority of them are owned by either the Hennepin County Railroad Authority (regional rail corridor currently used for recreation) or the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Trunk Highway 212). A portion of the runoff from Bluff Creek Drive does discharge to the west; however, it does not discharge into the Seminary Fen or Assumption Creek. The City of Chanhassen intends to revise its City Code in 2006-2007 as part of its Third Generation Surface Water Management Planning Process. At that time, the City will include a provision in its code that requires parties proposing new or expanded discharges to Waters with Restricted Discharges or Trout Waters to first determine that there are no prudent and feasible alternatives to the new or expanded discharge. This will ensure that Chanhassen remains compliant with Parts IX-B and C ofthe permit. NONDEGRADATION FOR SELECTED MS4s The City of Chanhassen is a Selected MS4 under Part XI (Appendix E) ofthe permit. For Chanhassen, the items listed in Part X (Appendix D) ofthe permit must be submitted twenty (20) months after the effective date ofthe permit, which is February 1,2008. In order to ensure compliance with Parts X and XI of the permit, the City will develop and implement a nondegradation plan, as set forth in Part X-A through 1. This will include the preparation of a loading assessment and nondegradation report that reflect public comments received on the draft nondegradation report and modified Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program.

PERMIT GOALS The primary goal of this permit is to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of Waters of the State through management and treatment of urban Storm Water runoff. This is accomplished by management of Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems through a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program. The purpose is to maintain water quality standards where there is compliance, and help bring waters that do not meet water quality standards into compliance. It should be noted that when there is a discharge to waters where there are limitations on coverage (Part II.B), there may be more stringent requirements that must be addressed. You may also voluntarily adopt more stringent measures to meet local goals. PART II. COVERAGE UNDER THIS PERMIT A.

In determining whether an increased loading of one or more pollutants would result from the proposed change in the discharge, the Agency shall compare the loading that would result from the proposed discharge with the loading allowed by the Agency as of January I, 1988 or the effective date of outstanding resource value water designation. This definition does not apply to the discharge ofbioaccumulative chemicals of concern, as defined in Minn. R. 7052.0010, subp. 4, to outstanding resource value waters in the Lake Superior Basin. For purposes of Minn. R. 7050.0180, an expanded discharge ofa bioaccumulative chemical of concern to an outstanding resource value water in the Lake Superior Basin is defined in Minn. R. 7052.0010, subp. 18. "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. "Maximum Extent Practicable" "MEP" is the statutory standard (33 U.S.C. S 1342(P)(3)(B)(iii)) that establishes the level of pollutant reductions that an Owner or 21 of33 Permit No: MNR040000 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 through an evaluative process. The USEP A envisions application of the MEP standard as an iterative process. "MPCA" means the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. "MS4" means a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System. "Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System" 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): I.

The term does not include separate storm sewers in very discrete areas, such as individual buildings. "Small MS4" means a Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System. "Storm Water" means Storm Water runoff, snowmelt runoff, surface runoff and drainage. "Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program" or "SWPPP" is a compilation of BMPs to address the six minimum control measures and other provisions ofthe MS4 permit, that is designed and managed to Reduce the discharge of pollutants from your MS4 to the Maximum Extent Practicable as appropriate to your community. "Total Maximum Daily Load" or "TMDL" is the process established by the USEP A for the allocation of pollutant loads, including Storm Water, to a particular water body or reach of a water body. "USEP A" or "EP A" means the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. "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.

Discharges to Waters with Restricted Discharges (Minn. R. 7050.0180, subp.6, 6a, and 6b). This permit does not authorize New or Expanded Discharges to waters where the applicable water quality standards restrict New or Expanded Discharges, unless such discharges are in accordance with Minn. R. 7050.0180, subpart 6, 6a, and 6b, and other applicable rules, and the following requirements. For MS4s that have discharges to outstanding resource value waters listed in Minn. R. 7050.0180, subp. 6, 6a or 6b (listed waters, or Waters with Restricted Discharges), the MPCA makes a Rebuttable Presumption that those MS4s have or will create a New or Expanded Discharge to a listed water. The following requirements create a schedule to bring discharges to listed waters into compliance: 1. In order to allow a New or Expanded Discharge to Waters with Restricted Discharges, the MPCA must determine that there are no prudent and feasible alternatives to the New or Expanded Discharge. The determination will be based on your demonstration. This demonstration should include, but is not limited to developing a plan to address prudent and feasible alternatives to the discharge. If You intend to argue that there are no prudent and feasible Page 27 of33 Permit No: MNR040000 alternatives to the discharge to these waters, You must develop a plan to restrict the discharge to the extent necessary to preserve the existing high quality, or to preserve the wilderness, scientific, recreational, or other special characteristics that make the listed water an outstanding resource value water. 2. Here are the specific actions You must take: a. List. You must identify as part of your application for permit the waters with restricted discharges to which your MS4 discharges.

Implementation. You must implement your approved Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program, including all BMPs in accordance with the schedule described in the approved Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program. C. Discharges Adversely Impacting Trout Waters (Minn. R. 6264.0050 subp. 2 and 4). The following requirements apply to Trout Waters listed in Minn. R. 6264.0050, subp. 2 and 4: 1. This permit does not authorize New or Expanded Discharges adversely impacting Trout Waters unless, at minimum, You establish administrative procedures or other measures to assure that You make the following determinations and document the basis for your decision: a. That there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the proposed discharge; and b. All prudent and feasible measures needed to avoid or Reduce impacts to Trout Waters, and to preserve the existing high quality of the water will be implemented (see Part IX.Co2 below). 2. If the discharge cannot be avoided, You must consider measures to protect water quality and prevent temperature increases. Acceptable measures include reduce the impervious surfaces, diversion away from the stream and use of filter strips, infiltration, biofiltration, or enhanced grass swales to treat runoffbefore discharge to the Trout Water. Innovative alternatives to ponds are specifically encouraged for Trout Water discharges if they provide equivalent treatment. D. Discharges to Wetlands (Minn. R. 7050.0130, subp. F; also 7050.0186). This permit does not authorize Physical Alterations to Wetlands, or other discharge adversely affecting Wetlands, ifthe alteration will have a significant adverse impact to the designated uses of a Wetland. Any Physical Alterations to Wetlands that will cause a potential for a significant adverse impact to a designated use must be implemented in accordance with the avoidance, minimization and mitigation requirements of Minn. R. 7050.0186 and other applicable rules. E. Discharges Requiring Environmental Review (Minn. Stat. ch. 116D, and 42U.S.C. $$ 4321 - 4370 j). This permit does not replace or satisfy any environmental review requirements, including those under the Minnesota Environmental Policy Act (Minn. Stat. ch. 116D), the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. SS 4321 - 4370 f), and rules implementing those laws. Any environmental review required of You by law, including preparation of environmental review documents such as environmental assessment worksheets, environmental impact statements, or environmental assessments, must be completed in accordance with those requirements. Page 29 of33 Permit No: MNR040000 F. Discharges Affecting Threatened or Endangered Species. This permit does not replace or satisfy any review requirements for Threatened or Endangered Species, from discharges whose direct, indirect, interrelated, interconnected, or independent impacts would jeopardize a listed Threatened or Endangered Species or adversely modify a designated critical habitat. For any project resulting in a discharge having the potential to adversely impact Threatened or Endangered species, or their critical habitat, You must conduct your required review and coordination with appropriate agencies in accordance with those requirements. G. Discharges Affecting Historic or Archeological Sites. This permit does not replace or satisfy any review requirements for Historic or Archeological Sites from discharges which adversely affect properties listed or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places or adversely affecting known or discovered archeological sites. For any project resulting in a discharge having the potential to adversely impact Historic or Archeological Sites, including significant anthropological sites and any burial sites, You must conduct your required review and coordination with the Minnesota State Historic Preservation Officer or other appropriate agencies in accordance with those requirements.

SS 300j - 13. Page 30 of33 Permit No: MNR040000 PART X. APPENDIX D: NONDEGRADATION FOR SELECTED MS4s The requirements of this section apply only to MS4s called Selected MS4s as described in Part XI (Appendix E). Certain MS4s have been selected to perform the requirements of this part because their size and growth may be closely correlated with increased Storm Water flows and pollutant loading. Nondegradation review applies to all significant New or Expanded Discharges to all waters but does not negate the applicable requirements for outstanding resource value waters, requirements for special classes of waters, other requirements in Appendix C or the general requirements of the permit. A. Selected MS4s The basic requirement for all MS4s regulated under this permit is to develop a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program that meets the requirements of the permit. An additional process is required of a limited number of permittees (30) that are listed in Appendix E. These Selected MS4s must submit to the Commissioner information described below to determine whether additional control measures beyond those of the permit Parts I through IX can be reasonably taken to minimize the impacts of the discharges. Selection, for purposes of this permit, is described in Appendix E. B. Loading Assessment Each Selected MS4 must assess the change in Storm Water discharge loading for its permitted area using a pollutant loading water quality model that, at minimum, addresses changes in Average Annual Flow Volume, Total Suspended Solids, and Phosphorus. This modeling will be based on two time periods: from 1988 (1988-1990) to the present (2000-2005), and from the present to 2020. The Selected MS4s must use a simple model, or another more complex model that they find to be more appropriate, that addresses the parameters of concern. This may include a model that the Selected MS4 has already used. Other assessment methods may be used if they can be shown to be as effective at quantifying the increase in loading as the modeling methods. The models and/or other methods will be used as part of the assessment to develop the Nondegradation Report, to help in selecting appropriate BMPs that address nondegradation, to determine whether additional control measures can reasonably be taken to Reduce pollutant loading, and for a few Selected MS4s that elect to do so, to evaluate the significance of the New or Expanded Discharge. C. Nondegradation Report Selected MS4s that have significant New or Expanded Discharges are required to complete a Nondegradation Report and, upon approval, to incorporate its findings on BMPs that address nondegradation into their Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program. The BMPs shall address changes in pollutant loadings as far as is reasonable and practical through future development. Additionally, the BMPs shall address, as far as is reasonable and practical, the negative impacts of increased Storm Water discharge volumes that cause increased depth and duration of inundation of Wetlands having the potential for a significant adverse impact to a designated use of the Wetland, or changes in stream morphology that have the potential for a significant adverse impact to a designated use of the streams. Page 31 of33 Permit No: MNR040000 The Nondegradation Report must include consideration ofthe Loading Assessment, which must include analysis of flow and may include removal of pollutants by BMPs already initiated. For purposes of this General Permit, 1988 levels consistently attained means runoff that would have been produced under approximately average conditions of rainfall. Local Storm Water management plans and other pertinent factors may also be considered. BMPs implemented by other parties may be considered when those BMPs affect the Storm Water from the area of the Selected MS4. If the pollutant loadings cannot be Reduced to levels consistently attained in 1988, the Report must describe reasonable and practical BMPs that the Selected MS4 plans to incorporate into a modified Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program. The Selected MS4 must consider alternatives, explain which alternatives have been studied but rejected and why, and propose alternatives that are reasonable and practicaL The Report must give high priority to BMPs that address impacts of future growth, such as ordinances for New Development. Where increases in pollutant loading have already occurred due to past development, the Report must consider retrofit and mitigation options (BMPs) that the Selected MS4 determines to be reasonable, practical and appropriate for the community. The Selected MS4 is responsible for developing any site specific cost/benefit, social, and environmental information that the Selected MS4 wishes to bring to the Agency's attention. The Selected MS4 must incorporate the BMPs into a modified Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program and include an implementation schedule that addresses New Development and retrofit BMPs it proposes to implement. D. Public Participation Prior to submittal to the MPCA, the proposed Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program modifications to address nondegradation will be public noticed at the local level as required in the permit (Part V.G.1.e). Each Selected MS4 shall also submit its Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program modifications to address nondegradation to the appropriate local water authority (e.g. watershed organizations or county water planning authority) in time to allow for their review and comment. The Nondegradation Report explaining the proposed BMPs and the entire Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program must be made available to the public and local water authority upon request. E. Submittals for Selected MS4s Selected MS4s must submit their proposed changes to the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program, reports addressing nondegradation for all waters (and restricted waters or prohibited waters if applicable), together with other supporting documents, to the MPCA in accordance with the schedule in Appendix E. This submittal must include: I. The Loading Assessment; 2. The Nondegradation Report; 3. The proposed Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program modifications to address nondegradation; 4. The public and local water authority comments on the proposed Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program modifications to address nondegradation, with a Record of Decision on the comments; and Page 32 of33 Permit No: MNR040000 5. An application to modify the permit. F. MPCA Review The MPCA will review the above submittals in accordance with Minn. R. ch. 7001. After consideration of the Loading Assessment, the Nondegradation Report, public and local water authority comments, the Record of Decision by the Selected MS4, and other pertinent information, the MPCA will make a determination on the preliminary approval of the proposed Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program. The role ofthe MPCA during the review process will generally be limited to reviewing the information presented by the Selected MS4 and comments made by others during the review process. However, the MPCA reserves the right to incorporate as much available information as possible in the decision making process, including the right to independently develop and evaluate potential reasonable and practical alternatives. G. Notice and Preliminary Determination The MPCA will provide statewide public notice and opportunity for hearing on any MPCA determination of intent to deny or approve the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program modifications to be implemented under this permit. The MPCA will provide public and MPCA comments to the Selected MS4. The Selected MS4 will have the opportunity to respond to the comments prior to the MPCA making a final determination. H. Final Determination The Commissioner will make a final determination on the modifications to the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program in accordance with Minn. R. ch. 7001. I. Implementation ofthe Approved Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program Following approval by the MPCA (as described in Part X.H above), the approved Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program modifications, including any changes required by the MPCA, must be implemented by the Selected MS4 in accordance with the schedule in the approved Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program and modifications. Page 33 of 33 Permit No: MNR040000 PART XI. APPENDIX E: SELECTED MS4s This part describes the schedule of submittals of the items listed in Part X (Appendix D), item E to the MPCA for review and approvaL The Commissioner has selected the MS4s listed below for further nondegradation review. The selection was based on the population growth experienced by the community during three time periods: from 1990 to 2000, based on census data; from 2000 to 2003, based on projections by the State Demographer and Metropolitan Council; and from 2000 to 2020, also based on the State Demographer and Metropolitan Council projections. The Commissioner also considered the size of the community as represented by the 2000 census.
