Separate Storm Sewer System Permit – Annual Report to the Wisconsin
Department of Natural Resources
Staff Recommendation
The Engineering Division recommends approving this item along with other consent
agenda items.
Background
Under Wisconsin Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (WPDES) regulations the
WDNR began regulating the City’s storm sewer discharge under a Municipal Separate
Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit beginning in November of 2006.
One of the requirements of the City’s MS4 Permit is that the City prepares and submits
an annual report to the WDNR. This report provides a summary of the City’s activities
associated with all permit elements which include public education and outreach; public
involvement and participation; an illicit discharge and detection program; a construction
site pollution control program; a post construction stormwater management program; a
pollution prevention program; and a stormwater quality management program.
Attached for your review is the completed WDNR annual report along with required
attachments.
