Phase II Control Measure |
How We can Help |
|
1.
Public Education and
Outreach – Distributing
educational materials and performing outreach to inform citizens about
the impacts polluted storm water runoff discharges can have on water
quality.
|
 Creating maps and related
information briefings for public dissemination
Fieldwork to place
permanent plaques/markers on catch basins indicating “no dumping” or
other pertinent messages. This educates people at the source of
potential trouble. |
|
2.
Public Participation/
Involvement – Providing
opportunities for citizens to participate in program development and
implementation, including effectively publicizing public hearings and/or
encouraging citizen representatives on a storm water management panel. |
Providing consulting and
operational advice and recommendations to municipal managers and storm
water management panels/councils.
Assisting in development
and formulation of various storm water discharge detection, monitoring
and control programs. |
|
3.
Illicit Discharge
Detection and Elimination –
Developing and implementing a plan to detect and eliminate illicit
discharges to the storm sewer system (includes developing a system map
and informing the community about the hazards associated with illegal
discharges and improper disposal of waste). |
Developing a centralized
mapping database of the entire storm system network, including field
survey/audit of the storm network assets, identifying BMP locations, and
basin and sub-basin flows for runoff analysis.
Field surveys to identify
and catalogue storm system discharge points used in system mapping,
compliance and analysis. |
|
4.
Construction Site
Runoff Control – Developing,
implementing and enforcing an erosion and sediment control program for
construction activities that disturb 1 or more acres of land (controls
could include silt fences and temporary storm water detention ponds).
|
Map based monitoring of
construction sites including listing and reporting of control measures
used for each site. |
|
5.
Post-Construction
Runoff Control – Developing,
implementing and enforcing a program to address discharges of
post-construction storm water runoff from new development and
redevelopment areas. Applicable controls could include preventive
actions such as protecting sensitive areas (e.g. wetlands) or the use of
structural BMPs such as grassed swales or porous pavement.
|
Map based monitoring
program to identify and address post-construction storm runoff including
identification of sensitive areas for special focus and cataloging of
structural BMP control measures. |
|
Pollution Prevention/Good
Housekeeping –Developing and implementing a
program with the goal of preventing or reducing pollutant runoff from
municipal operations. The program must include municipal staff training
on pollution prevention measures and techniques (e.g. regular street
sweeping, reduction in the use of pesticides or street salt, or frequent
catch-basin cleaning). |
Map
based programs to trigger, monitor and report catch basin cleaning and
street sweeping frequency and results.
Map
based programs to monitor use of pesticides and street salt usage with
goals to reduce amounts of both, including customized and ad hoc
reporting capability.
Training of staff members in the use of the system programs for regular
preventive maintenance and housekeeping.
