I. INTRODUCTION
This Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) has been prepared in
conformance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES),
Phase II Rules and is in compliance with the provisions of the Clean Water Act, as
amended, (33 D.S.C. l25lET SEQ; hereafter, the "Act"), 40 CFR 122, l23, and l24,
as amended, ET SEQ; Minnesota Statutes Chapters 115 and 116, as amended and
Minnesota Rules, Chapter 7001. The urbanized area covered by this SWPPP is
shown in Figure 1.
The goal of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System 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. The Department of
Natural Resources Wetland and Waters, and the wetlands identified in the National
Wetland Inventory located within the project area are shown in Figure 2. This
program requires that this be accomplished through the management of Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) through the preparation of a Storm Water
Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP).
1
The SWPPP identifies the goals and the Best Management Practices (BMPs) that will
be undertaken to meet the requirements of the NPDES Phase II rules. Measurable
goals have been established for each of the BMPs included in the SWPPP along with
an implementation plan and the persons responsible for implementing the BMPs.
This SWPPP has been prepared to manage and minimize the discharge of pollutants
from MS4s to the maximum extent practicable (MEP). This will be accomplished
through the implementation of the BMPs outlined within this SWPPP. These BMPs
could be a combination of education, maintenance, control techniques, system design
and engineering methods, and other such provisions that are appropriate to meet the
requirements of the NPDES Phase II permit. BMPs have been prepared to address
each of the six minimum control measures as outlined in the rules. These six
minimum control measures are:
1. Public education and outreach on storm water impacts.
2. Public participation and involvement.
3. Illicit discharge detection and elimination.
4. Construction site runoff control.
5. Post construction storm water management in new development and
redevelopment.
6. Pollution prevention/good housekeeping for municipal operations.
For each of these six minimum control measures, appropriate BMPs have been
identified along with measurable goals, an implementation schedule, and the persons
responsible to complete each measure.

II. MUNICIPAL SEPARATE STORM SEWER SYSTEM EVALUATION
An evaluation of the storm sewer system was completed to determine the factors
affecting the maximum extent practicable standards set forth within the NPDES Phase II
Rule. Factors which were used in developing the BMPs outlined in this SWPPP were as
follows:

Sources of pollutants
Potential polluting activities being conducted in the watershed
Sensitivity of receiving waters and wetlands within the system
Intended uses of receiving waters
Local concerns and storm water issues
The size of the MS4, the available staff, and the number of residents
BMP implementation schedules
Ability to finance storm water related programs
Hydraulics and hydrology of the watershed
Geology
Ability to finance and perform operation and maintenance of the MS4
Land uses
Development and redevelopment expectations
Watershed characteristics
Organizational structure of the municipal operator
,i
;
An inventory of these factors and policies developed to manage water resources within the City
can be found in the City's Comprehensive Storm Water Management Plan (CSMP).
In conformance with the requirements for the preparation of the SWPPP, a number of non-storm
water discharges were evaluated to determine if they are significant contributors of pollutants to
the storm sewer system. Non-storm water discharges which were evaluated include:
1. Flushing of municipal waterlines
2. Residential, commercial and agricultural landscape irrigation
3. Stream flow diversions
4. Groundwater outputs and rising elevations
5. Uncontaminated pumped ground water
6. Uncontaminated groundwater infiltration
7. Filtration backwash from municipal water treatment facility
8. Discharge of foundation drains into the MS4
9. Potable water source discharges
10. Condensation from air conditioning units
11. Car washing by individual residents
12. Discharges from the chlorinated swimming pools
13. Wash water from street sweeping activities
14. Water discharged from firefighting activities
These sources of non-storm water inputs into the municipal separate storm sewer system were
determined not to be significant contributors of pollutants. Therefore, BMPs will not be prepared
to address these storm water discharges.
III. POLLUTION PREVENTION PROGRAM
This Pollution Prevention Program outlines the BMPs which are appropriate for
the City of Prior Lake community to control or reduce the pollutants in storm
water runoff. Best Management Practices have been prepared for each of the six
minimum control measures. A description of each BMP, an implementation
schedule, measurable goals that determine the success or benefit, and the person
responsible to complete each BMP is included in Appendix A.
A description of the six minimum control measures and the BMPs which have
been developed to meet the requirements of each minimum control measure are
outlined in the following pages:
t
'~
Minimum Control Measure #1:
Public Education and Outreach on Storm Water Impacts.
The public education program has been developed to distribute educational
materials to the community or conduct equivalent outreach activities. This
function will focus on the impacts of stonn water discharges on water bodies and
the steps that the public can take to reduce pollutants in storm water runoff.
These activities have been prepared to individually address each of the six
minimum control measures. For each minimum control measure, the education
program identifies:
1)
2)
The audience or audiences involved;
Educational goals for each audience in terms of increased
awareness, increased understanding, acquired skills, and/or desired
changes in behavior;
Activities used to reach educational goals for each audience;
Activity implementation plans, including responsible persons in
charge, entities responsible for given activities, and schedules;
Available performance measures that can be used to determine
success in reaching educational goals.
t
!
3)
4)
5)
The public education and outreach BMPs that will be undertaken are:
l) The City intends to produce and distribute information on illicit
discharges, erosion, shoreline management, compo sting and
pollution prevention and other applicable BMPs utilized in the
SWPPP. This information may be distributed through City
mailings, newsletters, bill stuffing, and on the City website.
2) Incorporate public information on the SWPPP issues into a
separate page on the City's website. The web page would
specifically describe the SWPPP, each minimum control measure,
the goals and actions planned by the City, provide links to BMPs,
articles on each control measure, and collect feedback from site
visitors.
3) Provide training opportunities for City staff including erosion
control, BMPs, good housekeeping and pollution prevention.
Training topics could include, but are not limited to:
a) Mn/DOT Erosion Control Certification
b) Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program Workshops
c) Best Management Practices Workshops
d) Brochures and publications distributed to staff
4) Coordinate educational and outreach issues with community
groups, non-profit organizations, soil and water conservation
districts, watershed districts, watershed management organizations,
school districts, University of Minnesota Extension, county,
regional, state, and federal government programs.
A description of each BMP and the persons responsible for
implementation can bee seen in Appendix A. The implementation
program planned for each of these BMPs is outlined in Table 1.
t
'~
Minimum Control Measure #2:
Public Participation and Involvement
This minimum control measure requires that the City provide measures to receive
public input and opinion on the adequacy ofthe SWPPP. This input can be
received from public meetings, oral testimony, and written correspondence. To
reach this goal, the City anticipates implementing the following BMPs:
1) Conduct an annual public hearing on the City's Stonn Water
Pollution Prevention Program and solicit opinion on the plan and
consider written and oral input on the adequacy ofthe SWPPP.
2) The City intends to incorporate public information on SWPPP
issues into a separate page on the City's website. The web page
would specifically describe the SWPPP, each minimum control
measure, the goals and actions planned by the City, provide links
to BMPs, articles on each control measure, and collect feedback
from site visitors.
t
'I
A description of each BMP and the person responsible for
implementation can be seen in Appendix A. The implementation
program planned for each ofthese BMPs is outlined in Table 1.
Minimum Control Measure #3:
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
A number ofBMPs have been developed to implement and enforce a program to
detect and eliminate illicit discharges into the municipal separate storm sewer
system. These BMPs are:
1) Identify all City-owned storm sewer conveyances 24 inches or
greater on a storm sewer map. This will also identify all outfalls
and discharge points leaving the City. This map would be updated
yearly to reflect changes or additions to the storm sewer system.
2) Review the current storm water ordinance to evaluate it's
effectiveness toward illegal discharges.
3) Review City staff training in identifying and responding to illicit
discharges into municipal separate storm sewer system.
4)
Continue to support County recycling program to discourage
illegal dumping by offering alternative uses for unwanted materials
and drop-offs for household hazardous waste.
!i
~
A description of each BMP and the person responsible for
implementation can be seen in Appendix A.
Minimum Control Measure #4:
Construction Site, Storm Water Runoff Control
A number ofBMPs have been developed and will be implemented and enforced
to reduce pollutants and storm water runoff from construction activities with land
disturbances equal to or greater than one acre. These BMPs are:
1) The City will review current erosion control ordinance and revise
the City's building permit to include construction site erosion and
sediment control as part of the permit conditions. This erosion
control ordinance will also include sanctions to determine non-
compliance with the permit and ordinances.
2) Provide City Public Work staff with training and proper location,
inspection, and installation of erosion control BMPs.
3)
Construction site inspection and enforcement will be incorporated
into the activities of building inspectors. This will be an effort to
reduce pollutants to MS4 from small construction activities.
.

The details of each of these BMPs can be seen in Appendix A. The
implementation timeline for these BMPs is provided in Table 1.
Minimum Control Measure #5:
Post Construction Storm Water Management for New Development and
Redevelopment
A program of BMPs has been prepared to address storm water runoff from new
development and redevelopment projects that disturb equal to or greater than one
acre. This program insures that controls are in place that would prevent or
minimize water quality impacts from development activities. These BMPs are:
I) The City will implement the storm water runoff control program
that is currently used by local Watershed Districts to minimize the
effect of storm water runoff on water quality within the City. This
program will utilize appropriate BMPs, selected by the City to
minimize storm water runoff from new developments and
redevelopments.
2)
Develop and implement a comprehensive storm water management
plan. Currently the City is in the process of developing a storm
water plan, which will establish City policies, requirements and
Best Management Practices include within the requirements of this
permit.
ii
'~
3) Continue to maintain existing ordinances and regulatory
mechanisms currently in place to enforce post construction runoff
control requirements.
A detailed description and the person responsible for implementing
these BMPs is contained in Appendix A. The implementation
program is described in Table 1.
Minimum Control Measure #6:
Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
To meet the requirements of the pollution prevention and good housekeeping for
municipal operations. A number ofBMPs have been prepared including the
following:
1) Continue to practice current municipal operations and maintenance
procedures within the City and update them to best prevent or
reduce pollutant runoff.
2) Review the City's current practices and policies of road salt
applications. The City will consider alternative products,
calibration of equipment, inspection of vehicles and staff training
to reduce pollutants from road deicing activities.
3)
Manage the City's current street sweeping program, identify
improvements and implement changes to reduce storm water
pollutants.
