(,-. Introduction:
Weld County is primarily a rural county with a few large population centers located
inside its borders. Within these population centers,Weld County has areas that are
subject to phase II of the Federal Clean Water Act(40 CFR 122.26). To best meet the
requirements, Weld County entered into Inter-governmental Agreements (IGAs)with
four municipalities. The IGAs are enclosed under tab 5.
The IGAs were established to help cover an area that is only 7 square miles(4,493 acres)
and encompasses a population base of roughly 6,000 residents. The
Greeley/Evans/LaSalle area has the largest population base (5,000 residents), while
Longmont and Erie have a population base of 1,000 residents combined (Maps with
population and size statistics are included under tab 4). Based on size and population,
Weld County felt that residents located in our permitted area would be better served if
they were also part of the larger municipalities measures rather than have Weld County
administer all six measures itself.
To further the argument for Weld County entering into the various IGAs is the mechanics
of utility delivery. As a jurisdiction, Weld County does not provide utilities. Therefore,
in order for Weld County citizens to obtain urban utilities they either acquire them from
municipalities or, in the case of a select area in south west Weld, from the St. Vrain
Sanitation District. Capitalizing on this relationship, the IGA laid the foundation for an
already existing system. For example, all water users in the City of Greeley system
received water bills,whether or not the parcel is located in the municipal one mile of the
town. As part of the IGAs, municipal users are to be treated the same with respect to
outreach and educational opportunities.
Additionally, Weld County entered into IGAs because many of the measures required by
phase II were offered by other municipalities. Weld County and the other communities
would advertise in the same paper, hand out brochures in the same events, administer
school presentations in the same schools, among other things. Since the other MS4
communities were planning the same programs as Weld County, it was decided that
entering into an IGA was the best solution for all parties.
All six measures will be met either by Weld County, IGA municipalities, or a
combination thereof. The responsibilities of Weld County and the IGA municipalities are
laid forth in the attached documents.
Stormwater Delegation: The Board of Weld County Commissioners has delegated to
the Departments of Planning Services,Public Works and Public Health and Environment
responsibility for managing stormwater issues. These agencies will be collectively
responsible for ensuring the completion of the six (6) program areas mandated by the
MS4 permit, and the Department of Public Health and Environment has been identified
as the coordinator of the program.

storm sewer system(MS4)in accordance with the CDPS Stormwater Management Program requirements,and other
provisions set forth herein.
2. Discharges Covered Under this Permit
This permit authorizes new or existing discharges composed entirely of stormwater£romthe identified MS4.
The following discharges are rat authorized by this permit: process wastewater,stormwater discharges that are mixed
with process wastewater,or stormwater associated with industrial activity,unless such discharges are authorized under
separate CDPS permits and are in compliance with the provisions of those permits
Non-stormwater discharges into the MS4 from the sources listed in Part I.B.3.a.4 of this permit do not need to be
addressed under the permit,unless they are determined to be a substantial contributor of pollutants to waters of the State,
subject to the conditions outlined under Part I.B.3.a.of the permit.
3. Permit Area
This permit covers all areas designated by the Water Quality Control Division("Division")within the boundaries of the
municipality identified in the certification that are served by,or otherwise contributing to,discharges to state waters from
municipal separate storm sewers owned or operated by the municipality. The certification will specify whether the
coverage is only for the areas of the MS4 that are within an urbanized area,or for other areas instead or in addition.
The permittee must implement the CDPS Stormwater Management Program as described in Part I.B for all new areas
added to their MS4(or for which they become responsible for implementation of stormwater quality controls)that are
within an urbanized area. Implementation shall begin as expeditiously as practicable,but not later than one year from
addition of the new areas. Implementation may be accomplished in a phased manner to allow additional time for
controls that will not be fully implemented within one year.
4. Applicability
This permit covers discharges from small MS4s that are regulated under the Colorado Discharge Permit Regulation
61.3(2)(f)(iii)and(v). This includes MS4s that are:

3. illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
The permittee must develop,implement and enforce a program to detect and eliminate illicit discharges into the
permittee's MS4.
a) The permittee must:
1) Develop a storm sewer system map,showing the location of all municipal storm sewer outfalls and the names
and location of all state waters that receive discharges from those outfalls;
2) To the extent allowable under State or local law,effectively prohibit,through ordinance or other regulatory
mechanism,non-stormwater discharges into the storm sewer system,and implement appropriate enforcement
procedures and actions;
3) Develop and implement a plan to detect and address non-stormwater discharges,including illicit discharges
and illegal dumping,to the system. The plan must include the following three components: procedures for
locating priority areas likely to have illicit discharges; procedures for tracing the source of an illicit discharge;
and procedures for removing the source of the discharge;and
4) Address the following categories of non-stormwater discharges or flows(i.e.,illicit discharges)only if the
permittee identifies them as significant contributors of pollutants to the permittee's MS4: landscape
irrigation,lawn watering,diverted stream flows,irrigation return flow,rising ground waters, uncontaminated
ground water infiltration(as defined at 40 CFR 35.2005(20)),uncontaminated pumped ground water, springs,
flows from riparian habitats and wetlands,water line flushing,discharges from potable water sources,
foundation drains,air conditioning condensation,water from crawl space pumps,footing drains,individual
residential car washing,dechlorinated swimming pool discharges,and street wash water(discharges or flows
from fire fighting activities are excluded from the effective prohibition against non-stormwater and need only
be addressed where they are identified as significant sources of pollutants to state waters).
The permittee may also develop a list of occasional incidental non-stormwater discharges similar to those in
the above paragraph,(e.g.,noncommercial or charity car washes,etc.)that will not be addressed as illicit
discharges.These non-stormwater discharges must not be reasonably expected(based on information
available to the permittee)to be significant sources of pollutants to the MS4,because of either the nature of
the discharges or conditions the permittee has established for allowing these discharges to the MS4(e.g., a
charity car wash with appropriate controls on frequency,proximity to sensitive waterbodies,BMPs on the
wash water,etc.).The permittee must document in their program any local controls or conditions placed on
the discharges. The permittee must include a provision prohibiting any individual non-stormwater discharge
that is determined to be contributing significant amounts of pollutants to the MS4.
The Division reserves the right to request documentation or further study of a particular non-stormwater
discharge of concern,to require a reasonable basis for allowing the non-stormwater discharge and excluding
the discharge from the permittee's program,and to require inclusion of the discharge in the permittee's
program,if water quality concerns can not otherwise be reasonably satisfied.
b) The program area should include descriptions of:
1) the mechanism to be used to effectively prohibit illicit discharges into the MS4;
2) the permittee's plan to detect and address illicit discharges to their system, including discharges from illegal
dumping and spills. The description must address the following,at a minimum:
i) how priority areas will be determined,including areas with higher likelihood of illicit connections;
ii) what specific techniques,including education of municipal staff, will be used to detect the source of an
illicit discharge;and
PART I

iii) what specific procedures will be used for removing the source of the illicit discharge;and
3) what position or functional unit is responsible for overall management and implementation of this program
area.
4. Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control
a) The permittee must:
1) Develop,implement,and enforce a program to reduce pollutants in any stormwater runoff to the MS4 from
construction activities that result in a land disturbance of greater than or equal to one acre. Reduction of
pollutants in stormwater discharges from construction activity disturbing less than one acre must be included
•
in the program if that construction activity is part of a larger common plan of development or sale that would
disturb one acre or more. If the Division waives requirements for stormwater discharges associated with a
small construction activity in accordance with 61.3(2)(f)(ii)(B),the permittee is not required to develop,
implement,and/or enforce its program to reduce pollutant discharges from such a site.
2) Develop and implement the program to assure adequate design,implementation, and maintenance of BMPs at
construction sites within the MS4 to reduce pollutant discharges and protect water quality.The program must
include,at a minimum,the development and implementation of:
i) An ordinance or other regulatory mechanism to require erosion and sediment controls,as well as
sanctions to ensure compliance,to the extent allowable under State or local law;
ii) Requirements for construction site operators to implement appropriate erosion and sediment control
BMPs;
iii) Requirements for construction site operators to control waste such as discarded building materials,
concrete truck washout,chemicals,litter,and sanitary waste at the construction site that may cause
adverse impacts to water quality;
iv) Procedures for site plan review which incorporate consideration of potential water quality impacts;
v) Procedures for receipt and consideration of information submitted by the public;
vi) Procedures for site inspection and enforcement of control measures,and
vii) An education and training program for municipalities,their representatives and/or construction
contractors. At a minimum,the program must include an information program for construction site
operators unfamiliar with the reviewing authority's regulatory requirements.
b) The program area should include descriptions of:
1) The permittee's plan to ensure compliance with erosion and sediment control regulatory mechanism,
including the sanctions and enforcement mechanisms they will useto ensure compliance;
2) the procedures to be used when the permittee uses certain sanctions. Possible sanctions include non-
monetary penalties(such as stop work orders),fines,bonding requirements,and/or permit denials for
noncompliance;
3) procedures for site plan review,including the review of pre-construction site plans,which incorporate
consideration of potential water quality impacts;
4) if applicable,the procedures for determining if certain sites with low potential for stormwater impacts will
receive less extensive site plan review,and the rationale for how the permittee will determine that site plan
review is not needed to protect water quality;

5) the procedures for site inspection and enforcement of control measures,including how it will be determined
which sites will receive what nature of inspection,and at what frequency;and
6) what position or functional unit is responsible for overall management and implementation of this program
area.
5. Post-Construction Stormwater Management in New Development and Redevelonment
a) The permittee mist develop,implement,and enforce a program to address stormwater runoff from new
development and redevelopment projects that disturb greater than of equal to one acre,including projects less than
one acre that are part of a larger common plan of development or sale,that discharge into the MS4. The program
must ensure that controls are in place that would prevent or minimize water quality impacts. The permittee must:
1) Develop and implement strategies which include a combination of structural and/ornon-structural BMPs
appropriate for the community;
2) Use an ordinance or other regulatory mechanism to address post-construction runoff from new development
and redevelopment projects to the extent allowable under State or local law;
3) Ensure adequate long-term operation and maintenance of BMPs;
4) Develop and implement procedures to determine if the BMPs required under Item I,above, are being
installed according to specifications. (This may be developed in conjunction with the Construction program
area,as described in Part I.B.4);and
.-- 5) Develop and implement an enforcement program,which addresses appropriate responses to common
noncompliance issues.
b) The program area should include descriptions of:
1) how the permittee plans to ensure the long-term operation and maintenance(O&M)of the selected BMPs.,
including:
i) how the permittee plans to track the location of and adequacy of operation of long-term BMPs
implemented in accordance with the program;
ii) how the permittee plans to enforce the requirements for other parties to maintain BMPs,if applicable;
and
2) what position or functional unit is responsible for overall management and implementation of this program
area. •
6. Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
a) The permittee must develop and implement an operation and maintenance program that includes an employee
training component and has the ultimate goal of preventing or reducing pollutant runoff from municipal
operations.The program must also inform public employees of impacts associated with illegal discharges and

For Non-Standard MS4s,the permittee's CDPS Stormwater Management Program must contain all six program areas as
outlined in Part LB of the permit. However, in cases where a program area,or components thereof,may not be relevant
to the permittee due to legal restrictions under state or local law,or the nature of the district,the MS4's permit
application(or amendment as per Part I.D.2)should include a detailed description of the basis for curtailing any of the
program areas.
7. Implementation by Other Parties
Implementation of one or more of the program area elements may be shared with another entity,or the other entity may
fully take over implementation of the element(s).The permittee may rely on another entity for implementation only if:
a) The other entity,in fact,implements the element(s);
b) The particular element(s)is at least as stringent as the corresponding permit requirement;and
c) The other entity agrees to implement the control measure on the permittee's behalf. Written acceptance of this
obligation is expected.This obligation must be maintained as part of the description of the permittee's CDPS
Stormwater Management Program.
The permittee remains liable for ensuring that all requirements of this permit are complied with,regardless of who
implements the element(s).
8. Monitoring
The Division reserves the right to require water quality sampling and testing,on a case-by-case basis. Monitoring may
also be required if a stormwater-based TMDL and WLA have been put into place for any waterbody into which the
permittee discharges.
D. PROGRAM REVIEW AND MODIFICATION
1. Division Review of Programs and Reports
Any programs or reports that are prepared as a condition of this permit and are required to be submitted to the Division
for review are subject to the following deadlines.

APPLICATION FOR GENERAL PERMIT
NO. COR-090037
STORMWATER DISCHARGES ASSOCIATED WITH
MUNICIPAL SEPARATE STORM SEWER SYSTEMS (MS4S)
1
Weld County MS4 Permit Application
1) Public Education
The reduction and elimination of pollutants has long been a goal of Weld County. To
this end, Weld County recognizes the correlation between public education and the
attainment of this goal. To comply with the public education requirements of the
Colorado Phase H Municipal Stormwater permit, Weld County has signed
Intergovernmental Agreements (IGA) with the cities of Greeley, Evans**, Longmont
and Erie. Within the agreements are designations of duties for each of the six (6)
measures. The elements agreed upon will be carried out by the appropriate
municipalities as indicated by the IGAs and will cover all the unincorporated
urbanized areas designated by the EPA census study. Weld County understands that it
is still responsible for the implementation of these measures and will keep in contact
with the IGA communities (via annual reports,meetings, and other regular updates)
to ensure compliance.
*** Weld County has signed an IGA with the city of Evans. Evans
has also signed an IGA with the city of LaSalle to cover their areas
under the phase II permit. The unincorporated areas of Weld
County around the city of LaSalle are therefore covered even
though Weld County does not have a direct IGA with the city of
LaSalle.
a) IGA Commitments
Weld County has signed an Intergovernmental Agreement(IGA) with the
cities of Greeley, Evans, Longmont, and Erie. Each city has committed to
specific activities, programs, and measurable goals in their respective Phase II
Stormwater Permit. Weld County will ensure that these cities follow through
with their programs and will aid them when necessary(e.g. provide necessary
studies, assist financially, etc.). A copy of their permits and IGAs has been
provided.
Weld County Assistance
Although Weld County signed IGAs designating the responsibility of the
activities and programs within public education to the cities containing the
unincorporated urbanized area, the County fully acknowledges responsibility
for the final outcome of the Phase II implementation. For this reason, Weld
County has its own measurable goals in addition to the measures that will be
met though our IGAs,and will provide assistance to the cities when necessary.
The Weld County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) signed all the
IGAs and takes the responsibility very seriously and will follow through
accordingly. The following are specific examples demonstrating Weld
County's commitment to this program.
i) Weld County Colorado State University Extension Service: This service
distributes materials to the public to raise awareness of soil erosion potential
and general water quality issues. The office is dedicated to providing
information and advice about many areas of concern to the general public.
ii) Public Process: Weld County incorporates a full public process in the review
of land development applications and proposals. (Weld County Planning
2
Commission,Volunteer Citizen Commission, and Board of County
Commissioners).
iii) Open Records Law: The County currently has records open for public
viewing. Community members are able to research stormwater meetings,
hearings, and other relative issues pertaining to stormwater, as well as land
use cases regarding floodplains and floodways.
iv) Brochures: As stated in our IGAs, each city will be responsible for
distributing brochure information to all residents within their responsible area
(including all Weld County residents within those areas). Brochures
developed by IGA communities will be available for the public at appropriate
County complexes. IGA information on brochures can be found in the
following:
a) Evans: Section 9.1.1 of their stormwater permit.
b) Greeley: Section 2.1.2 of their stormwater permit.
c) Erie: Minimum Control Measure #1 of their stormwater permit.
d) Longmont: Minimum Control Measure#1 of their stormwater permit.
v) Stormwater Hotline: A stormwater hotline will be implemented to inform and
empower citizens. The hotline will provide citizens with information
regarding the importance of maintaining clean,pollution free storm sewer
systems(MS4), as well as allowing them to take charge and provide a service
for their community. Measurable goal listed under Minimum Measure#1
(Public Education).
vi) Public Meetings: This activity is a part of all four(4) IGAs. However, County
staff will discuss stormwater permitting and impacts during public meetings
held during the land use planning process and disseminate information as
necessary. Measurable goal listed under Minimum Measure#2 (Public
Participation).
IGA information on this section can be found in the following:
a) Evans: Section 9.2.3 of their stormwater permit.
b) Greeley: Section 2.2.4 of their stormwater permit.
c) Erie: Minimum Control Measure#2 of their stormwater permit.
d) Longmont: Minimum Control Measure#2 of their stormwater permit.
vii) School Presentations: As per Weld County's IGAs, IGA cities will work with

2) Public Involvement
Public Involvement is an integral part of the land use permitting and application
process in Weld County. Referral agencies provide comments on all land use
applications which come under review by the Department of Planning Services. In
addition to the general policies for the public process, certain activities are, or will be,
in place specific to this stormwater quality program.
Each community contributing through an IGA will tailor specific programs designed
to meet the city's specialized needs. Weld County, as well as the IGA cities, will
provide the most adequate notification possible to the public in regard to public
involvement events. These notifications will comply with State and local public
notice requirements such as newspapers,website, television, or other forms of media
available to reach the majority of citizens. Weld County understands that it is still
responsible for the implementation of these measures and will keep in contact with
the communities (via annual reports, meetings, and other regular updates) to ensure
compliance.
a) IGA Commitments
Weld County has signed an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the
cities of Greeley, Evans, Longmont, and Erie. Each city has committed to
specific activities, programs, and measurable goals in their respective Phase II
Stormwater Permits. Weld County will ensure that these cities follow through
with their commitments and will aid them when necessary(e.g. provide
necessary studies, assist financially etc.).
Weld County Assistance
Although Weld County signed IGAs designating the responsibility of the
activities and programs within public participation to the cities containing the
unincorporated urbanized area, the County fully acknowledges responsibility
for the final outcome of the Phase II implementation. For this reason, Weld
County has its own measurable goals in addition to the measures that will be
met though our IGAs, and will provide assistance to the cities when necessary.
The Weld County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) signed all the
IGAs and takes the responsibility very seriously and will follow through
accordingly. The following are specific examples demonstrating Weld
County's commitment to this program.
i) Open Records Law: The County currently has records open for public
viewing. Community members are able to research stormwater meetings,
7
hearings,and other relative issues pertaining to stormwater, as well as land
use issues regarding floodplains and floodways.
ii) Public Process: Weld County incorporates a full public process in the review
of land development applications and proposals. (Weld County Planning
Commission, Volunteer Citizen Commissions, and the Board of County
Commissioners).
iii) Stormwater Hotline: A stormwater hotline will be implemented to inform and
empower citizens. The hotline will provide citizens with information
regarding the importance of maintaining clean,pollution free storm sewer
systems (MS4), as well as allowing them to take charge and provide a
service for their community. Measurable goal listed under Minimum
Measure#1 (Public Education).
iv) Public Meetings: This activity is a part of all four(4) IGAs. However, County
staff will discuss stormwater permitting and impacts during public
meetings held during the land use planning process and disseminate
information as necessary. Measurable goal listed under Minimum
Measure#2 (Public Participation). IGA public meeting information can
be found in the following:

3) Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
The reduction and elimination of pollutants has long been a goal of Weld County
Government. Weld County strongly discourages the illegal discharges or dumping of
pollutants into stormwater facilities and associated water bodies. In an effort to
develop a program to detect and eliminate illicit discharges, Weld County will
continue to utilize the existing programs and activities listed below. Through the
proposed programs, Weld County is confident that it will be able to locate possible
problem areas, identify violators, and eliminate non-stormwater illicit discharges
altogether in the 4493 acre(7 square miles)permitted areas.
(To minimize confusion,the following are allowable non-stormwater discharges,
unless they are deemed as a significant contributors of pollution to the permittee's
10
MS4: landscape irrigation, lawn watering,diverted steam flows, irrigation return
flow, rising ground waters, uncontaminated ground water infiltration (as defined at 40
I CFR 35.2005(20)), uncontaminated pumped ground waters, springs flows from
riparian habitats and wetlands,water line flushing, discharges from potable water
sources, foundation drains, air conditioning condensation, water from crawl space
pumps, footing drains, individual residential car washing, dechlorinated swimming
pool discharges, and street wash water.)
a) IGA Commitments
Weld County has signed an Intergovernmental Agreement(IGA) with the cities of
Greeley, Evans, Longmont, and Erie. Each city has provided a list of proposed
programs,best management practices,and measurable goals to comply with their
portion of the IGA. Weld County will see to it that these cities follow through with
their programs and will aid them when necessary(e.g. provide necessary studies,
assist financially etc.).
Weld County Assistance
Although Weld County signed IGAs designating most of the responsibility of the
activities and programs within illicit discharge to the cities containing the
unincorporated urbanized area, the County fully acknowledges responsibility for the
final outcome of the Phase II implementation. IGA cities cannot enforce regulations
concerning illicit discharge in the unincorporated areas of Weld County, for this
reason, Weld County has its own measurable goals in addition to the measures that
will be met though our IGAs. Weld County will provide assistance to the cities when
necessary. The Weld County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) signed all the
IGAs and takes the responsibility very seriously and will follow through accordingly.
The following are specific examples showing Weld County's commitment to this
program.
i. Emergency Spill Response: Weld County currently has in place an emergency spill
response program administered by the Weld County Department of Public Health
and Environment and coordinated with the Weld County Sheriff and local fire
district. After a call is received, an appropriate staff employee will investigate the
scene and determine whether emergency cleanup is necessary. If immediate
cleanup is necessary, appropriate personnel will be contacted and the personnel will
remediate the emergency site as soon as possible. A violation process will be held
if appropriate. Information on who the public can call to report an accidental spill
or discharge will be listed on the website.
ii. Recycling Program: Weld County operates a Household Hazardous Waste (HHW)
program in Greeley and Dacono for collection and storage of unused household
hazardous waste such as paint, solvents, insecticides, cleaning agents,chemicals,
oils and automotive fluid. This program encourages the public to utilize the
opportunity to discard unused chemicals and liquids in a safe manner at the facility.
The goal of the HHW program is to reduce the amount of hazardous materials
entering our county landfills and our waterways. Through this action, there is a
substantial reduction in the potential for hazardous liquids of being discarded into
the public water systems.
11
iii. Training of Staff: Weld County's building and plumbing inspectors are currently
trained to inspect for illicit discharges, and three building inspectors are currently
trained to detect and control sedimentation and erosion on developed land. In 2005,
Weld County will provide training for all field staff in the Departments of Planning
Services, Public Works and Public Health and Environment who will have the
responsibility for detecting illicit discharges.
iv. Implement Criteria Manual: The County will propose a modified version of the
Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual Volumes 1-3 (Vol. 1-3) to the Board of
County Commissioners (BOCC) for adoption to better regulate stormwater BMPs,
and will be used as a guide for minimizing flooding events.
v. Stormwater Hotlinel Illicit Discharge Reporting: A stormwater hotline will be
implemented to inform and empower citizens. The hotline will provide citizens
with information regarding the importance of maintaining clean, pollution free
storm sewer systems (MS4), as well as allowing them to take charge and provide a
service for their community. This is a very useful tool to identify possible problem
areas as well as violators.Measurable goal listed under Minimum Measure #1
(Public Education).
vi. Stormwater Stenciling/Tributary Signage: These activities provide citizens with
information as to where pollutants would wash to in the event of a storm, as well as
promote community involvement. These programs are being planned by the cities
agreeing to the IGAs, and Weld County will assist whenever necessary. Measurable
goal listed under Minimum Measure #3 (Illicit Discharge). IGA information on
Stormwater Stenciling/Tributary Signage can be found in the following:
a) Evans: Section 9.2.1 of their stormwater permit.
b) Greeley: Section 2.3.4 and Section 2.2.1 of their stormwater permit.
c) Erie: Minimum Control Measure#2 of their stormwater permit.
d) Longmont: Minimum Control Measure#2 of their stormwater permit.
vii. Stormwater Facilities/Outfall Mapping: Weld County will continue activities
involved with mapping these facilities employing GIS, on-site surveys with data
collection map production. Maps will be updated on a regular basis to ensure the
information is current. Refinement of the template design for the maps will
continue so we may produce consistent and effective maps. The maps will identify
the location of all municipal stormwater lines and outfalls, including a hierarchy
trunk lines, storm mains, interceptors and manholes. These maps will be used to aid
response to illicit discharge reports by supplying visual information about location
of the discharge and probable path of flow to outfalls. Maps will be developed in
conjunction with IGA communities. Information on IGA Mapping can be found in
the following:
a)Greeley: Section 2.3.1 of their stormwater permit.
b)Evans: Section 9.3.1 of their stormwater permit.
c)Erie: Minimum Control Measure#3 of their stormwater permit.
d) Longmont: Minimum Control Measure#3 of their stormwater permit.
viii. Website for Stormwater Issues and Reporting: The proposed Weld County
Department of Public Health and Environment website will be developed as a
component to the existing County website to provide an efficient and effective
12
method for the public to make inquiries, express concerns or obtain information
pertaining to general water quality concerns(including construction activities).
-- Construction activity concerns and reporting will be forwarded to the Department of
Planning Services personnel for investigation and action as appropriate. There will
also be links to our IGA websites. Measurable goal listed under Minimum Measure
#1 (Public Education). IGA information can be found in the following:
a) Greeley: Section 2.1.5 of their stormwater permit.
b) Evans: Section 9.1.4 of their stormwater permit.
c) Erie: Minimum Control Measure #1 of their stormwater permit.
d) Longmont: Minimum Control Measure#1 of their stormwater permit.
ix. Illicit Discharge Ordinance: Weld County is considering adopting a regulation,
ordinance or other appropriate means to prohibit illicit discharges to stormwater
systems. The ordinance/regulation shall define illicit discharges, any applicable
exemptions and appropriate penalties for non-compliance. ***
*** Weld County is currently reviewing the EPA model for illicit discharge. Until such
time that Weld County officially adopts such an ordinance, the current county
violation process will be utilized to ensure compliance. Compliance is currently
achieved following the terms of Chapter 33 and Appendix 33 of the 1997 Uniform
Building Code, Chapter 10 of the International Plumbing Code, applicable
sections of the WCC, agreed upon drainage plans, accepted improvement
agreements and conditions of land use. Failure to adhere to these rules,
regulations, and standards will result in the following process:
1. Violation of noncompliance to any of the above is determined by staff.
2. Notification to the property owner of noncompliance.
3. A BOCC hearing.
When unable to obtain compliance, the BOCC has the authority to defer the case to
District Court for resolution of noncompliance.
b) Measurable Goals: Due to the implementation of the IGAs, most measurable
goals will be met by the participating municipalities.

4) Construction Site Runoff Control
As described in other sections of this permit, Weld County has signed an
Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the cities of Greeley, Evans, Longmont,
and Erie for the implementation of the Phase II Municipal Stormwater Discharge
Permit. However, this measure is not a part of any IGA and is the responsibility of
Weld County.
This program will be implemented at the time of Building Permit issuance. All
building permits applied for in the defined urban areas will undergo a pre-
construction stormwater review to address both construction and post construction
issues of controlling polluted overland flow and runoff from the development/
redevelopment/construction site with a contiguous or non-contiguous land
disturbance of greater than or equal to one acre in area. The following is Weld
County's approach to controlling the amount of erosion and sedimentation that occurs
on a construction site:
a) The first step in creating a productive and effective program for controlling
construction site runoff will be to develop an ordinance(the County is currently
reviewing the EPA model ordinance for Construction Site Runoff Control) or to
update the current ordinance. This ordinance will implement procedures for
erosion and sedimentation controls and will include sanctions for negatively
impacting water quality and for noncompliance. (Chapter 33 and Appendix 33 of
15
the Uniform Building Code are currently being used to regulate erosion and
sedimentation and will be updated accordingly to Appendix G with supplemental
Appendix J of the 2003 International Building Code).
1) Training of Staff: Three building inspectors are currently certified for
detecting erosion and sedimentation best management practices (BMPs), and one
employee is a certified flood plain manager. All other Building Inspection staff
will be trained for detecting erosion and sedimentation BMPS in 2004.
b) The County will include in the ordinance an appropriate measure to monitor the
proper installation of construction runoff control devices. This will ensure that
the site will have an approved drainage plan prior to completion. Part of this
program will include the implementation of a county-modified Urban Storm
Drainage Criteria Manual (Vol. 1-3).
1. Inspection Process: To better provide field presence throughout
development and to ensure proper use of BMPs, Weld County will conduct
inspections both before and during construction. These interim inspections
will monitor proper installation and use of BMPs to effectively reduce the
amount of erosion and sedimentation.
c) Stop Work Orders: If developers consistently do not meet requirements, a Stop-
Work Order will be placed on the site. This will ensure the proper completion of
all construction regulations throughout the development of the site.
d) The software application utilized by Weld County Department of Planning
Services will be relied upon in conjunction with known GIS data to identify
predefined parcels in the defined urban areas. Specific site inspections will be
conducted to review compliance with regulatory requirements. Best management
practices (BMPs) will be relied upon to determine compliance with the
performance-based specification. For example,preventative measures will be in
place to address drainageways, proper erosion and sediment controls, and controls
for other wastes on all applicable construction sites over one acre in area(i.e. silt
fences, sediment traps, erosion control blankets, soil binders, etc.). These existing
or planned activities/programs are described below.
e) Existing Weld County regulations as cited in the Weld County Code:
i. Section 22-1-50.F, Article IV,Environmental Resources; The Weld
County Code addresses air, water quality, noise and waste. The impacts
from proposed land uses on air,water,noise,waste and public health
should be considered. The intent is to maintain or improve these
environmental resources to prevent harm to life, health and property.
Each category of environmental resources includes various goals and
policies expressing the importance of properly managing and conserving
the resource, as well as which mechanisms will be employed by the
County to do so. Each category has standards established by Federal,
State and County regulations which require evaluation and compliance by
the Department of Public Health and Environment.
16
ii. Section 8-4-10. Duty of Users. Persons in the County who are currently
using borrow ditches along County rights-of-way for irrigation runoff and
other uses, whether the consent to such uses was originally given
expressly or implied, may continue such uses if the following conditions
are met:
1. The owner and user are responsible for preventing irrigation water or
other uses from causing silt,other sediment or weeds to accumulate in the
borrow ditches so that proper drainage is not inhibited.
2. The owner and user are responsible for preventing the blockage of the
borrow ditches and must not alter the direction or rate of flow in any
manner in the borrow ditches.
3. The owner and user are responsible for preventing the irrigation water
and other uses from causing damage to County rights-of-way.
4. Tail water shall be controlled to prevent erosion and sedimentation of
the borrow ditches
iii. Section 22-4-30. Water Goals and Policies
1. Application for new development should include provisions for
adequately handling drainage and for controlling surface erosion or
sedimentation within the site itself.
2. As conditions warrant, applicants proposing unsewered divisions of land
or development shall evaluate the impacts on groundwater quality.
3. Applications for new development shall consider the installation and
maintenance of managed and advance treatment septic systems to prevent
potential groundwater pollution.
4. Stormwater collection and treatment should be considered for all
development. The developer will be required to employ best management
practices in the design of all stormwater facilities.
5. Irrigation ditches shall not be used as outfall points, unless it is shown to
be without reasonable hazard and/or the ditch company provides written
acceptance of the stormwater.
6. The developer shall incorporate all Flood Plain Management programs
and the Master Drainage Plan into the new development plans. The County
adopted the South Weld I-25 Corridor Master Drainage Plan in November
of 1999 and all storm water designs within the Tri-Town and Godding
drainage basins shall meet the technical criteria of this report.
f) Site Plan Reviews: The Department of Planning Services reviews land use
development applications to provide present and future residents and users of land
in the County a means whereby orderly and harmonious development is ensured
in the County. Site Plan Reviews are one application that requires additional
consideration to ensure that the uses permitted are established and operated in a
manner that is compatible with existing and planned land uses in the
neighborhood. The regulation of the Site Plan Review is designed to protect and
promote health, safety, convenience and general welfare of the present and future
residents of the County.
One component of the application review is how the on-site stormwater runoff
will be handled. Are there any physical changes to the site proposed, (i.e.
grading,paving, increased roof areas, etcetera)? If yes,then evidence, maps and
17
calculations explaining how stormwater detention facilities are designed to retain
the stormwater runoff in excess of the historic flow from the undeveloped site are
• required. Additionally, the site is required to be designed for the one hundred
year storm event with release of retained water at a rate not to exceed a five year
storm falling on the undeveloped site.
• g) Measurable Goals: Weld County is responsible for the implementation of
Minimum Measure#4.

5) Post-Construction Stormwater Mana2ement in New
Development/Redevelopment
This program area will focus on the implementation of a routine inspection,
monitoring, and reporting Standard Operating Procedure. This process will ensure
post-construction compliance in regard to the maintenance of stormwater facilities
installed during times of development or redevelopment of a site greater than or equal
to 1 acre in area. The goal will be to attain a level of inspection frequency such that
facilities are routinely inspected at least once in a five-year cycle or after occurrence
of major flood events. In addition, a procedure to ensure timely response to
complaints from the public regarding suspected noncompliance will be implemented.
To fully comply with the Phase II requirements, Weld County will ensure that the
responsible parties in the IGAs (Greeley, Evans, Longmont, and Weld County) follow
through and complete their proposed programs/activities.
a) IGA Commitments
Weld County has signed an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the
cities of Greeley, Evans and Longmont making them the responsible party for
compliance. Each city has committed to specific activities, programs, and
measurable goals in their respective Phase II Stormwater Permits. Weld
County will see to it that these cities follow through with their commitments,
and aid them when necessarily(e.g. provide necessary studies, assist
financially etc.). Weld County is responsible for the unincorporated areas
located in and around the city of Erie.
Weld County Assistance
Although Weld County signed IGAs designating the responsibility of the
activities and programs within post construction to the cities containing the
unincorporated urbanized area, the County fully acknowledges responsibility
for the final outcome of the Phase II implementation. IGA cities cannot
enforce regulations concerning post construction in the unincorporated areas
of Weld County, for this reason, Weld County has its own measurable goals in
addition to the measures that will be met though our IGAs. and will provide
assistance to the cities when necessary. The Weld County Board of County
Commissioners (BOCC) signed all the IGAs and takes the responsibility very
seriously and will follow through accordingly. The following are specific
examples showing Weld County's commitment to this program.
i) Di.¢ital Photography: A digital photography database already exists to
identify the pre-construction site and drainage patterns per the census areas.
This will be used as a reference for monitoring and enforcing post-
construction management plans.
19
ii) Stop Work Orders: If developers consistently do not meet requirements a
Stop-Work Order will be placed on the site. This will ensure the proper
completion of all construction regulations throughout the development of the
site.
iii) Ordinance: The County's current policy regarding the control and monitoring
of post-construction drainage is inadequate. Weld County is considering
implementing an ordinance (EPA model ordinance is being reviewed)
requiring the addition of post-construction runoff controls and will address
procedures within the ordinance for ensuring the long-term operation and
maintenance if deficiencies are found(i.e. education sanction, warning,
violation hearing, district courts or a monetary fine [pending on BOCC
signoff]).
iv) Inspection Process: Inspections will be performed one time each, at the
beginning and end of construction, and compliance will be controlled by
withholding the certificate of occupancy for all structures if these
requirements are not met.
v) Implement Criteria Manual: The County proposes to implement the Urban
Storm Drainage Criteria Manual (Vol. 1-3) to better regulate stormwater
BMPs, and will be used as a guide for minimizing flooding events.
vi)Detention pond maintenance: Weld County will assist as it is appropriate with
the maintenance of detention ponds and storage facilities. It is critical that
these facilities be in proper condition to eliminate the possibility of polluting
the waterways. Weld County is responsible for the area located in and around
Erie that is under our permitted area. Greeley and Evans will be responsible
for the area covered under the IGA's. Weld County will ensure that the
programs are continuing as stated in the IGA permits. IGA information on
detention pond maintenance can be found in the following:
a) Greeley: Section 2.5.1 of their stormwater permit(existing program).
b)Evans: Section 9.5.1 of their stormwater permit(existing program).
vii)Inspection and repair of infrastructure: Weld County will assist as it is
appropriate with the inspection and repair of stormwater infrastructure to
assure that stormwater is draining properly at all times. Weld County is
responsible for the area located in and around Erie that is under our permitted
area. All other areas that need to be inspected or repaired will be covered
through our IGA's. Weld County will ensure that the programs are continuing
as stated in the IGA permits. Information on inspection and repair can be
found in the following:
a) Greeley: Section 2.5.3 of their stormwater permit(existing program).
b) Evans: Section 9.5.5 of their stormwater permit (existing program).
viii)Review ofplans for permanent BMP: Plans for permanent BMPs will be
addressed during the planning process. It will be required to have such a plan
in place to comply with post-construction requirements.
20
ix)Post-Construction Site Inspection and Enforcements: Weld County will
conduct inspections to ensure proper drainage at all newly developed or
redeveloped sites greater than or equal to one (1) acre in size. The County
will require either structural or non-structural BMPs to ensure long-term
compliance for these properties.
There will be a minimum of two inspections to ensure that the stormwater
management BMPs are functioning without deficiencies; one will be
performed before development, and one will be performed after the site is
complete. Field staff shall be trained to identify such deficiencies.
To ensure that the property owners comply with these post-construction
regulations, Weld County will withhold the certificate of occupancy(CO)
until requirements are met. In subdivision site plan reviews and some other
land use applications, require an improvement agreement to guarantee that all
onsite and offsite improvements (transportation and non-transportation items)
such as excavating, grading,paving, retention/detention basin, and
landscaping have been completed. Once the improvements have been
completed, 15 percent of the total improvements agreement is retained for a
period of one year. If no further action is required at the conclusion of one
year the collateral is returned (a small percentage will be held for long-term
operation and maintenance of the drainage area).

6) Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping
Weld County's ultimate goal is to minimize or reduce to the maximum extent practicable,
pollutants from municipal operations. The County plans to accomplish this through
education of employees, implementation of policies and procedures that guide municipal
activities, and by incorporating BMPs into municipal projects. To fully comply with the
Phase II requirements, Weld County will see to it that the responsible parties in the IGAs
(Greeley, Evans, Longmont, and Weld County) will follow through completely with their
proposed programs/activities.
a) IGA Commitments
Weld County has signed an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the
cities of Greeley, Evans, and Longmont making them the responsible party for
compliance. Each city has provided a list of proposed programs, BMPs, and
measurable goals to comply with their portion of the IGA. Weld County will
see to it that these cities follow through with their programs, and aid them
when necessarily(e.g. provide necessary studies, assist financially etc.). Weld
County is the responsible party for compliance of Pollution Prevention/Good
Housekeeping in and around the Erie area. Weld County will work with Erie
to provide the appropriate programs to comply with this standard.
Weld County Assistance
Although Weld County signed IGAs designating the responsibility of the
activities and programs within pollution prevention to the cities containing the
unincorporated urbanized area, the County fully acknowledges responsibility
for the final outcome of the Phase II implementation. For this reason, Weld
County has its own measurable goals in addition to the measures that will be
met though our IGAs, and will provide assistance to the cities when necessary.
The Weld County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) signed all the
IGAs and takes the responsibility very seriously and will follow through
accordingly. The following are specific examples showing Weld County's
commitment to this program.
i) Recvclinz Program: Weld County operates a program, Household Hazardous Waste
(HEW) in Greeley and Dacono for collection and storage of unused household
22
hazardous waste such as paint, solvents, insecticides, cleaning agents, chemicals,
oils and automotive fluid. This program encourages the public to utilize the
opportunity to discard unused chemicals and liquids in a safe manner at the
facility. The goal of the HHW program is to reduce the amount of hazardous
materials entering our county landfills and our waterways. Through this action,
there is a substantial reduction in the potential for hazardous liquids of being
discarded into the public water systems. Measurable goal listed under Minimum
Measure#3 (Illicit Discharge).
ii) Emergency Spill Response: Weld County currently has in place an emergency spill
response program administered by the Weld County Department of Public Health and
Environment and coordinated with the Weld County Sheriff and local Fire
District/Departments. Information on who the public can call to report an accidental
spill or discharge will be listed on the website.
iii) Public Meetings: This activity is a part of all four(4) IGAs. However, County staff
will discuss stormwater permitting and impacts during public meetings held during
the land use planning process and disseminate information as necessary. Measurable
goal listed under Minimum Measure#2 (Public Participation). This section will be
met through the following Weld County IGAs:
a) Evans: Section 9.2.3 of their stormwater permit.
b) Greeley: Section 2.2.4 of their stormwater permit.
c) Erie: Minimum Control Measure#2 or their stormwater permit.
d) Longmont: Minimum Control Measure #2 of their stormwater permit.
iv) Stormwater Stenciling/Tributary Signage: These activities provide citizens with
information as to where pollutants would wash to in the event of a storm, as well as
promote community involvement. These programs are being planned by the cities
agreeing to the IGAs, and Weld County will assist whenever necessary. Measurable
goal listed under Minimum Measure#3 (Illicit Discharge). Information on
stormwater stenciling/tributary signage can be found in the following:
a) Evans: Section 9.2.1 of their stormwater permit.
b) Greeley: Sections 2.3.4 and 2.2.1 of their stormwater permit.
c) Erie: Minimum Control Measure#2 of their stormwater permit.
d) Longmont: Minimum Control Measure#2 of their stormwater permit.
v) Stormwater Hotline/Illicit Discharge Reporting: A stormwater hotline will be
implemented to inform and empower citizens. The hotline will provide citizens with
information regarding the importance of maintaining clean, pollution free storm
sewer systems (MS4), as well as allowing an opportunity to take charge and provide a
service for their community. This is a very useful tool to identify possible problem
areas as well as violators. Measurable goal listed under Minimum Measure #1 (Public
Education).
vi) Stormwater Facilities/Outfall Mapping: Weld County will map all facilities owned
or operated by Weld County. The maps will be updated on a regular basis to assure
the information is current. Refinement of the template design for the maps will
continue such that Weld County GIS may produce consistent and effective maps.
The maps will identify the location of all municipal stormwater lines and outfalls,
including a hierarchy trunk lines, storm mains, interceptors and manholes. These
23
maps will be used to visualize whether there is any stormwater impacts from Weld
County facilities and where the outfall of these impacts would be. IGAs will be
• responsible for determining what facilities are located in their permitted areas. IGA
information can be found in the following:
a)Greeley: Section 2.6.7 of their stormwater permit.
b)Evans: Section 9.6.1 of their stormwater permit.
vii) Website for Stormwater Issues and Reporting: The proposed Weld County
Department of Public Health and Environment website will be developed as a
component to the existing County website and will provide an efficient and
effective method for the public to make inquiries, express concerns or obtain
information concerning or pertaining to general water quality concerns, including
construction activities. Construction activity concerns and reporting will be
forwarded to the Department of Planning Services personnel for investigation and
action if appropriate. Measurable goal listed under Minimum Measure#1 (Public
Education). IGA information on websites can be found in the following:
(a) Greeley: Section 2.1.5 of their stormwater permit.
(b) Evans: Section 9.1.4 of their stormwater permit.
(c) Erie: Minimum Control Measure#1 of their stormwater permit.
(d) Longmont: Minimum Control Measure#1 of their stormwater permit.
viii) Educational Sanctions/Redirection: Distribute educational materials to violators
to inform them of the harm that can be done from improper care of storm drains.
In most cases, it will be assumed that the violator is simply unaware of the effects
of poor storm drainage quality on the environment, and an educational
sanction/redirection would eliminate the confusion. Weld County will work with
citizens to obtain compliance. Measurable goal listed under Minimum Measure#3
(Illicit Discharge).
ix) Reduction of Assisting Pollutants: In an effort to reduce the amount of pollutants
reaching stormwater drains, Weld County will commit to the most efficient use of
pesticides and snow melting chemicals/sediment(salt, sand and chemical
combinations). Furthermore, Weld County will remain open to implementing
new, "green"technologies to further reduce the impact on the environment.
x) Audit System: Auditing of facilities and operations are important to ensure that
BMPs are being implemented and/or maintained. Weld County will conduct
audits of their own facilities and request information from IGA municipalities to
ensure compliance.The County will also work with and ask for the IGA cities to
audit their activities in the Weld County unincorporated urbanized areas(i.e.
being responsible for tracking curb miles swept, number of catch basins cleaned,
linear feet of storm drains cleaned). Weld County will assist the cities in auditing
these activities as required.
Information on IGA Auditing can be found in the following:
a) Evans: Section 9.6.10 of their stormwater permit.
b) Greeley: Section 2.6.9 of their stormwater permit.
c) Erie: Section 6 of their stormwater permit.
xi) Employee Training: Weld County will work with employees to ensure they
understand the impacts associated with illegal discharges, the use of proper
24
recycling,the use of disposal techniques for wastes from municipal operations,
and proper installation and use of Best Management Practices (BMPs).
Training will also include the following: •
a) Good housekeeping: Scheduling routine cleanup of facilities, scheduled
maintenance, and posting of signs and labels on storage areas where spills
might occur.
b) Spill Prevention and Response: Procedures on what to due in case of a
spill and where to dispose of any contaminated material.
c) BMP'S associated with fueling, maintenance,painting,washing, loading
and unloading, and storage.
d) Inform employees of Weld County Household Hazardous Waste
Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator(CESQG Program).
xi) Street Cleaning: Street cleaning is important for reducing the amount of regular
trash and other contaminants from entering our water ways. Cleaning needs to be
performed on a regular basis to help insure that buildup is minimal and therefore
reducing the impacts to stormwater. Weld County will ensure that the programs
are continuing as stated in the IGA permits. Information on IGA street cleaning
operations can be found in the following:
a) Greeley: Section 2.6.1 of their stormwater permit (existing program).
b) Evans: Section 9.6.3 of their stormwater permit(existing program).

designated urbanized areas of population over 100,000 must comply with the Phase II Storm Water
regulations of the Federal Clean Water Act.
Weld County has four very small unincorporated areas that have been designated by the EPA
requiring storm water discharge permits. The areas are all part of census tracts adjacent to
municipalities that are part of the larger urbanized designated areas. They are adjacent to the cities
of Greeley, Evans, Erie, and Longmont. Due to the small number of parcels impacted, the other
three cities have agreed to the state's suggestion to include the unincorporated Weld County parcels
in their state permit as a joint application. In Longmont's case, there are ten parcels of property in
the unincorporated area of Weld County east of Longmont that must be permitted.
County staff members have been in discussions with City of Longmont staff to arrange an IGA that
would accommodate the permit requirements in the most practical manner. Any costs incurred by
the City of Longmont as a result of permitting and storm water management associated with the ten
parcels in Weld County will be paid by Weld County annually.Under the agreement,Weld County
. _ .will do all construction inspections required under the regulations—Based upon the types of
properties that comprise the ten parcels, no illicit discharge is anticipated. However, if any

enforcement were required to correct illicit discharges, Weld County will do any required
enforcement in the area.The City of Longmont under the agreement will provide the other storm
water management programs required to comply with_the Phase II Storm Water regulations of the
Federal Clean Water Act The area designated will not change until the 2010 census.
This letter of intent shall serve as the conceptual framework for the County of Weld's staff and City
ofLongmont's staff to develop amore detailedlGA to accommodate the new Phase II Storm Water
Discharge Permit requirements in the most practical manner beneficial to both entities.The Board
of Weld County Coiissioners hopes you agree and will approve this letter of intent being
proposed. Your assistance and cooperation in this and all matters are greatly appreciated.

Re: Letter of Intent Concerning Phase II Stoma Water Permit
Dear Mayor Pimack and City Council Members:
Please allow this document to serve as a letter of intent between the Board of Weld County
Commissioners on behalf of Weld County,and the Longmont City Council on behalf of the City of
Longmont to enter into an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) for the City of Longmont to
administer the Phase II Storm Water Discharge Permit on behalf of Weld County for the designated
urbanized area of Weld County adjacent to Longmont Effective March 10, 2003, all EPA
designated urbanized areas of population over 100,000 must comply with the Phase II Stoma Water
regulations of the Federal Clean Water Act
Weld County has four very small unincorporated areas that have been designated by the EPA •
requiring storm water discharge permits. The areas are all part of census tracts adjacent to
municipalities that are part of the larger urbanized designated areas. They are adjacent to the cities
of Greeley, Evans,Erie, and Longmont Due to the small number of parcels impacted, the other -
three cities have weed to the state's suggestion to include the unincorporated Weld Countyparcels
in their state permit as a joint application.In.Longmont's case, there are ten parcels of property in
the unincorporated area of Weld County east of Longmont that must be permitted.,
County staff members have been in discussions with City of Longmont staffto arrange an IGA that
would accommodate the permit requirements in the most practical manner. Any costs incurred by
the City of Longmont as a result of permitting and storm water management associated with the ten
parcels in Weld County will be paid by Weld County annually.Under the agreement,Weld County
will do all construction inspections required under the regulations. Based upon the types of
properties that comprise the ten parcels, no illicit discharge is anticipated. However, if any
City of Longmont Page 2 February 20,2003
'& enforcement were required to correct illicit discharges, Weld County will do any required
enforcement in the area.The City of Longmont under the agreement will provide the other storm
water management programs required to comply with the Phase II Storm Water regulations of the
Federal Clean Water Act The area designated will not change until the 2010 census.
This letter of intent shall serve as the conceptual framework for the County of Weld's staff and City
of Longmont's staff to develop a more detailed IGA to accommodate the new Phase U Storm Water
Discharge Permit requirements in the most practical manner beneficial to both entities. The Board
of Weld County Commissioners hopes you agree and will approve this letter of intent being
proposed_ Your assistance and cooperation in this and all matters are greatly appreciated.
Vex truly yours, .

SECTION 1 : INTRODUCTION
This Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) is written to comply with the Colorado Department
of Public Health and Environment's (CDPHE's) General Permit No. COR-090000, Stormwater
Discharges Associated with Municipal Separate Sewer Systems (MS4's) that will expire at
midnight March 9,2008 and related to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(USEPA)
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater regulations. The general
permit, in compliance with the provisions of the Colorado Water Quality Control Act, (25-8-101
et seq., CRS, 1973 as amended) and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended (33
U.S.C. 1251 et seq.; the "Act"), covers the discharge of stormwater associated with municipal
separate storm sewer systems, as of this date, from those locations specified throughout the State
of Colorado to specified waters of the State. Such discharges shall be in accordance with the
conditions of the general permit
The City Of Greeley's stormwater management plan is being designed to reduce the discharge of
pollutants from small municipal separate storm sewer system(MS4)to the maximum extent
practicable (MEP), to protect water quality, and to satisfy the appropriate water quality
requirements of the Colorado Water Quality Control Act(CCR 61.8 (11)(a)(i)) and satisfy the
requirements of the six minimum measures.
This stormwater management program is the responsibility of the Department of Public Works,
with the Stormwater Management Division having the lead role for implementation. The
Stormwater Management Division provides for the planning,design, construction and initial
inspection of the city's stormwater system. Maintenance of the stormwater system is managed
thru the Public Works Streets Division. Funded in part through the Stormwater Utility, the
Stormwater Management division is responsible for ensuring compliance with NPDES Phase II,
development of a 5-year Drainage Capital Improvement Program and the administration of the
Stormwater Utility. The City Of Greeley has a citizens Stormwater Board.
The Greeley area is divided into 11 major drainage basins, and 7 of these are within the city
boundaries. The seven(7)basins within the City Of Greeley have a master plan identifying and
addressing drainage problems. The master plans for Sheep Draw, Country Club, Grapevine, 28th
Avenue, Downtown and North, East and Central basins where completed in 1996 and 1997 and
were revised in 1999. All drainage basins within the City Of Greeley will be re-planned in
2003/2004.

CITY OF GREELEY-STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
The City of Greeley is assuming through a Intergovernmental Agreement permitting
responsibility for the following non-standard MS4:
➢ UNC—University of Northern Colorado—Non-standard MS4
A non-standard MS4 is defined as government entities other than cities,towns and counties.
The responsibility of the above listed entities is to participate and assist the City in
implementation of Public Education/Outreach,Public Participation and Illicit Discharge
Detection and Elimination,and Pollution Prevention activities by providing space,time and
opportunities for the city educational efforts and inspections. The specifics are listed in each of
the control measures.
The other non-standard MS4's(AIMS and Weld County School District 6)in the City Of
Greeley, decided to file for their own stormwater discharge permit.
There is a separate Intergovernmental Agreements(IGA)with Weld County covering the county
properties located within the Greeley service area detailing the responsibilities.
This stormwater management program includes the six control measures as required by the
Phase II NPDES. The rest of this plan describes the Best Management Practices (BMP's) and
measurable goals for each of the six required control measures.

SECTION 2: CONTROL MEASURES
2.1 PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH
The goal of the Public Education Program is to provide basic,practical tools that individuals can
apply to prevent and reduce stormwater pollution. The ultimate goal of educational best
management practices is to raise citizen awareness of common daily activities, such as car
maintenance and yard care, that can adversely impact water quality and to prevent those
seemingly harmless activities from becoming causes of water pollution. Public education
facilitates pollution prevention at the source, which is preferable to the high costs of pollution
treatment downstream. To achieve this goal several different programs will be implemented The
programs will be geared to all ages and provide information on how to protect waterways and
improve water quality through the proper use and disposal of hazardous materials, landscape
waste, construction materials, and debris.
Best Management Practices: (BMP's)
2.1.1 G.A.T.V. Channel8 Program "Storm water"
Television programs pertaining to stormwater quality issues will be produced and aired on the
City Of Greeley's cable channel. This cable channel currently reaches 26,900 subscribers in the
City of Greeley.
Scope: The intent of this educational video program will be to provide a basic understanding as
to what stormwater is and how it's quality is relevant to our drinking water. The program will
provide an explanation as to where stormwater goes. It will also stress the negative impacts of
pollution on stormwater and how it impacts our drinking water and environment. Solutions to the
negative impact of pollution will be offered. The video will run for approximately four to six
weeks starting in March and ending sometime in April annually. The stormwater video will be
developed in 2003 and implemented in 2004.
2.1.2 Brochures/Flyers/Publications
Brochures and flyers will be handed out at annual events such as City Hall in the Mall and the
Conservation Fair. These items will also be placed at municipal sites year round,which citizens,
developers, and consultants visit such as the Civic Center and City Hall. Some additional
existing publications that can be accessed are the " City Of Greeley Round Up"which is a
citizen newsletter that is mailed to all Greeley residents four times per year, UNC Bazaar, and
Tribune.
SWMP-FINAL Page 4

1/9/2004
CITY OF GREELEY—STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
Scope: The brochures/flyers/publications will emphasize the accumulated effects of pollution in
the stormwater system and how the storm drains discharge into local waterways.The documents
will suggest alternatives to follow so residents can avoid polluting with pet, auto, and household
pollutants, and participate in the collection and recycling programs the City offers as they relate
to stormwater quality. Brochures will be available each year in March at municipal sites
beginning in 2004.An article will appear once a year in the spring issues of the Round Up
starting in March 2003. An article will appear once a year in UNC Mirror starting in March
2004. Stormwater quality tips will be included once a year with May utility bills beginning in
2004. Stormwater quality tips will be distributed to UNC students thru their respective entity
starting in September 2003. Beginning in 2003, the city will distribute the brochure"Protecting
Our Watersheds" from the Colorado Water Protection Project at annual community events.
2.1.3 Conservation Fair
The Conservation Fair is annual educational event. City staff from Stormwater Management,
Water and Sewer, and other departments will participate in giving presentations,hosting booths,
and answering children and adults questions on stormwater protection.
Scope: At this annual educational event the Stormwater Department will provide general
information about pollution prevention activities at home and school. The Conservation Fair is
held annually in February/March. Training at this annual educational event will begin in
February 2003.
Statistics for past attendance:
Year Event Estimated Attendance
2002 Conservation Fair 10,000 for 3 day event
2.1.4 Bus Bench Ads
Bus bench ads will be used to advertise/provide general information to the public on the proper
use and disposal of landscape and garden chemicals including fertilizers and pesticides, proper
disposal of household chemicals and pet waste, and promote and encourage recycling and
collection programs offered by the City Of Greeley and Weld County. The bus bench ads will
emphasize the accumulated effects of pollution in the stormwater facilities and solutions to
pollution.
Scope: The City will purchase ads and display them annually in April at multiple bus stops
within the community. The sites that will be selected are near municipal properties such as the
Civic Center and City parks. These displays will be placed annually in the month of April
starting in 2005.

2.I.S Web Site
The Internet is a widely used tool by the public and private sectors. The City web site can be
found at www.greeleygov.com/stormh20 General information pertaining to the City of Greeley
stormwater plan will be provided along with a hotline telephone number to report violators under
the heading stormwater. The stormwater web site will be designed and developed to attract all
age groups with an emphasis placed on school children,providing them with educational
materials and links to other web sites in which they can learn about stormwater quality issues and
what they can do to improve water quality.
Scope: This site will be available at all times and revised every six months, i.e June and
December, starting in 2003. A counter will be placed on this web page to keep track of how
many times the stormwater/drainage home page is accessed. The stormwater/drainage web page
will provide links to educational stormwater quality materials and contain contact phone
numbers to call for the following situations:
1. Information on the public reporting of illicit discharges and improper disposal of
wastes.
2. Information on where to recycle household quantities(collection programs) of
used motor oil, antifreeze,latex paint or batteries.
3. Information on clean water solutions for lawn and garden care.
2.1.6 Storm water education material for auto maintenance shops.
Auto maintenance shops have been identified as a significant contributor of maintenance by-
products into the stormwater system. This targeted educational campaign will make the auto
maintenance shop owners aware of proper disposal and recycling practices for used oil, anti-
freeze, and other petroleum products and inform them of potential fines for illegal dumping into
the stormwater system.
Scope: Outreach material on proper stormwater management practices for auto maintenance
shops will be produced and distributed in the month of October 2003 to auto maintenance shops
and City of Greeley Equipment Maintenance Department.
2.1.7. Storm water Hotline
Establish a stormwater hotline for information and citizen reporting of polluters.See Illegal

2.1.9 Storm Drain MarkinE(B1-Linzual)
To
Clean water is valued for drinking and recreation, and as a fish and wildlife habitat. Yet some
people will dispose of used oil, antifreeze, and household or garden chemicals, and other toxic
materials into neighborhood storm drains, not realizing that there's a connection between storm
drains and local waters. Storm drain markings are designed to raise public awareness of this
connection. (Also relates to Public Participation/Involvement BMP 2.2.1)
Scope: Partnerships will be made with organizations such as Neighborhood Associations,
League of Women Voters, and Church youth groups,the Girl and Boy Scouts, UNC to assist the
City staff with the installation of markers. In addition, a discussion with an emphasis on the
prevention of pollution into the stormwater facilities will take place. City staff will set up field
trips to install storm drain markers semi-annually in June and September respectively.
Implementation of the program will start in 2004.

2.2 PUBLIC PARTICPATION/INVOLVMEMENT
Public involvement is often discussed in the context of the public education measure because
they share a common goal —reaching out to citizens and getting them to comply with the
program. The distinction between the two is that public participation/involvement provides a
conduit for citizens to return useful information to the City on what approaches work and which
do not. Citizen input can be beneficial in terms of identifying problems and determining
solutions, which results in personal ownership and accountability for water quality improvement.
The goal of the Public Participation/Involvement Program is to give the Citizens of Greeley
opportunities to take an active role in the implementation of the program. This program will
provide an opportunity for the public to participate in multiple activities related to stormwater
quality while at the same time;gaining knowledge about pollution as it relates to water quality as
well as taking care of the environment.

2.2.1 Storm Drain Marking(Bi-Linzual) (Also Public Education Element)
Clean water is valued for drinking and recreation, and as a fish and wildlife habitat. Yet some
people will dispose of used oil, antifreeze, and household or garden chemicals, and other toxic
materials into neighborhood storm drains, maybe not realizing that there's a connection between
storm drains and local waters. Storm drain markings are designed to raise public awareness of
this connection.
Scope: Partnerships will be made with organizations such as Neighborhood Associations,
League of Women Voters, and Church youth groups, the Boy and Girl Scouts, to assist the City
staff with the installation of markers. In addition, a discussion with an emphasis on the
prevention of pollution into the stormwater facilities will take place. City staff will attempt to set
up outings in June and September with several of the groups mentioned starting in 2004. (See
Illicit Discharges—City Staffwill start storm drain marking in 2003). The non-standard MS4
(UNC) will be involved in storm drain marking.

i- 2.2.2 Citizen Stormwater Board—(Current& Ongoing)
The Citizen Stormwater Board was created by City Council to make recommendations to the
Council on all matters concerning stormwater management, priorities,policies, funding and
procedures. The Board is a major component of the Greeley Stormwater Management Program,
which seeks to improve the quality of surface water drainage into the Cache La Poudre and the
South Platte rivers as well as develop and maintain adequate drainage structures to minimize
flooding and property damage. The stormwater board will oversee the implementation of the
citywide Stormwater utility and Capital Improvement Projects over the next 5 years. The board
monitors the development of a community plan to meet the requirements of the NPDES Phase II
program. The board monitors the progress of a project to totally resurvey the Poudre River areas
adjacent to Greeley with the help of the Army Corps of Engineers to reevaluate flood zone
determination. This plan will determine the most feasible projects to minimize flood damage
potential and maximize recreational/open-space/multi-use potential of the river bottom. The
board consists of seven(7)members appointed by City Council for a three(3)year term. The
board meets monthly.The board's authority comes from Ordinance 91, 2001 and Ordinance 33,
1994.
2.2.3. Stormwater Hotline
Establish a stormwater hotline for information and citizen reporting of polluters. See Illegal
Discharge and Detection for complete details.
2.2.4 Public Meetings on the Stormwater Management Plan
The Stormwater Management staff will sponsor meetings for the citizens of Greeley. The
meetings will be formatted to introduce the citizens to the programs offered to the public with the
adopted Stormwater Master Plan and to allow citizens to discuss various viewpoints and provide
input concerning many issues related to stormwater quality.
Scope: Hold public meetings to solicit feedback and comment on the stormwater plan before the
end of 2003. The staff members that will attend this public meeting along with members of the
Citizen Stormwater Board include, at a minimum, the Stormwater Division Manager and the
Stormwater Qnality Administrator.

asking them questions related to stormwater,recycling, Community Cleanups and other
programs that are being offered to the citizens for participation.
Scope: City Stormwater Management Staff will generate the survey, in which, questions
regarding stormwater,pollution prevention,and recycling can be incorporated. It is
recommended that this survey be conducted in order to measure the effectiveness of our outreach
programs and will enable the City of Greeley the flexibility to revise the programs accordingly.
The survey results will be posted on the stormwater web page.The survey will be administered
in January 2004 and 2006.
2.2.6 Adopt-a-Street Program (Street Cleanup) (Current and Ongoing)
Since 1987 civic-minded volunteers throughout the state have adopted thousands of miles of
Colorado highways. The City of Greeley has adapted that program to our city streets. Adopting
parties agree to patrol and pick up litter from both sides of a specified segment of street for a
minimum of two years. The City of Greeley provides trash bags and orange reflective safety
vests to volunteers and picks up bagged litter collected by volunteers.
Who adopts? Churches, scout groups, employee and retired employee associations, service clubs,
non-profit organizations and any group that takes pride in Greeley. A blue and white sign
installed along the adopted route crediting the adopting organization designates all adopted
sections of street. Adopting groups can take pride in their contribution to their community and be
confident that their efforts are increasing public awareness about litter control. It saves taxpayer
dollars and gives adopting organizations a valuable opportunity to work together to make a
difference.

2.3 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
The goal of the Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination program is to eliminate the illegal
discharge or dumping of pollutants into the City's stormwater facilities and ultimately into the
Cache Le Poudre and South Platte Rivers. The City of Greeley will establish and carry out
procedures to identify and remove illicit discharges and encourage public education and
involvement in eliminating illicit discharges.

2.3.1 Storm water System Map
The City of Greeley has very detailed maps of the existing stormwater system that are used by
the street division for stormwater line cleaning and utility locates. The maps are Geographical
Information System(G.I.S.)based. There is constant feedback for up-dating these maps based
on their repeated use by the Streets Division.The maps are also updated regularly with the
addition of new developments.
Scope: Complete the stormwater system map by labeling the outfalls using one of the
designated outfall protocols. This will be completed by December 31,2003.

CITY OF GREELEY—STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
2.3.2 Identify illicit connections through dry weather screening and targeted video
Inspection of High Priority Areas
The municipality contains many older neighborhoods that will be the initial focus of the illicit
discharge identification effort. Deteriorating infrastructure and questionable building codes at the
time might have resulted in directly connected and/or leaking wastewater pipes. Targeted video
inspection in areas with high nutrient levels, appearance of suds or oily discharges, or dry
weather flows will efficiently identify these connections.
Scope: A survey during dry weather of 20%of the stormwater drain system outfalls, in priority
areas of the city,per year will be conducted to identify non-storm water flows. The priority areas
are 1)North 9rn Ave Trunk line and 2) Sections bounded by 6th-10th Avenue and 7'h to 12`5
streets. Suspicious discharges in the priority areas will be inspected with video cameras to detect
suspected direct connections•to the wastewater system and identify areas where wastewater
might be leaking into adjacent storm drains. Dry weather flow surveys will begin in June 2003.
2.3.3 Illicit discharge/illegal dumping telephone hotline. (Also PE and PI element)
This telephone hotline will supplement the city's effort to target outfalls for video inspection and
will facilitate the cleanup and remediation of dumping sites. Also, advertising the telephone
hotline will improve public involvement and will serve as an educational tool to inform the
public about hazards of illicit discharges and illegal dumping.
Scope: A telephone hotline for citizens to report illegal dumping and suspicious discharges will
be established by December 2003. The hotline will be advertised by placement of one ad in the
local newspaper every 3 months and an insert in each homeowners' and business's water utility
bills once every year starting in January 2004.
2.3.4 Storm Drain Marking (Also PE and PI element)
Storm drain curb inlet markers are an effective means of providing a pollution prevention
message to citizens of Greeley. These markers will increase public awareness of the
consequences of disposing of materials into a storm drain. The target areas will be heavily
trafficked locations with high visibility potential, areas with past history of dumping or reported
illicit discharge problems, and locations requested by citizens.
Scope: The city will place a minimum of 500 plaques/markers each year,beginning in 2003.
UNC will manage the application of City provided storm drain markers or other applicable
markings on inlets and/or catch basins within their jurisdiction. Primarily city staff will apply the
markers but will also supply them to interested citizen groups such as neighborhood associations
or scout troops. (See Pubic Involvement/participation.) For new developments, the contractor
installs precast identifying lids and grates on new storm drain inlets before the project is accepted
by the city. The precasting states"No Dumping—Drains to River".

To discourage illegal discharges, the county currently and will continue to offer a household
hazardous waste collection program to all citizens of Weld County. The Weld County Household
Hazardous Waste Program accepts hazardous wastes like: house and garden chemicals; paint
products; automotive fluids and batteries.
2.3.6 Fall and Spring Cleanup (Existing Program)
To discourage illegal discharges or illicit dumping,the City Of Greeley Streets Division sponsors
a bi-annual cleanup for the residents of Greeley.The City accepts all types of trash,tires,
refrigerators,lawn mowers, etc and disposes of them properly. The Spring cleanup weekend is
usually the last weekend in April and the Fall cleanup is usually the last weekend in October.
The dates are advertised in the Greeley Tribune and banners are also displayed across major
roadways in the city.

2.4 Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control
The City Of Greeley's program for Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control recognizes that
construction sites are a significant source of sediment in stormwater, and that improvements in
receiving water quality can be achieved by an effective management program. The program will
include the following goals:
• Develop, implement, and enforce a program to reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff to
the City Of Greeley's municipal separate stormwater system from construction activities
that result in the land disturbance of one or more acres, and areas less than one acre if
part of a common plan for development, including requirements for site review;
inspections during and after construction, and enforcement provisions to ensure
compliance
• Define requirements for construction site owners or operators to implement appropriate
structural and non-structural erosion and sediment control Best Management Practices
(BMP's), and to control other waste such as discarded building material that may enter
stormwater drainage system.
• Procedures for receipt and consideration of information provided by the public
• To reduce soil loss from all construction sites to the Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP)
• Improve the water quality of stormwater runoff to MEP
• Prevent accumulations of soil and debris originating from construction activity from
entering the City Of Greeley stormwater drainage system
• Prevent the discharge of chemicals, chemical wastes and other pollutants from leaving
construction sites
• Contain and prevent the migration of construction materials and debris from leaving
construction sites
• Prevent damage to properties adjacent to construction sites arising from sediment, debris,
chemicals, chemical waste and other pollutants to MEP
• Protect state waters, waterways, wetlands from damages caused by erosion, sediment,
chemicals, chemical wastes and other pollutants arising from construction activities to
MEP

The purpose of the"City Of Greeley Storm Drainage Design Criteria"(hereafter referred to as
the"Criteria")is to present the minimum design and technical criteria for the analysis and design
of stormwater drainage facilities.All subdivisions, residential, commercial,industrial
development or any other proposed construction submitted for approval under the City Of
Greeley regulations must include adequate storm drainage system analysis and drainage system
design that conforms to the"Criteria Manual".
Planning and design of all stormwater drainage systems shall adhere to the City Of Greeley
ordinance No. 91, 2001,which established and enacted Article 14.15 of the Greeley City Code.
Article 14.15 of the City Code, established a comprehensive stormwater management program.
The City requires on-site detention for all new development, expansion and redevelopment.
Alternatives to on-site detention may be available.
Waste Control Requirements:
Materials are sometimes used at construction sites that present a potential for contamination of
stormwater runoff. These include but are not limited to fuel,oil, lubricants,paints, solvents,
concrete-curing compounds and other liquid chemicals such as fertilizers,herbicides and
pesticides. Other waste categories include:
o Discarded building materials
❑ Concrete truck washout
o Litter
❑ Sanitary waste(i.e.portable toilets)

Plan Review Procedures:
Erosion and Sediment Control Plan:A site specific Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP)
must be submitted to the City's Public Works Department for review and approval. The ESCP
shall consist of two components: 1)narrative report describing the site,the proposed land
disturbing activities, and the recommended BMP's for erosion and sediment control and 2) site
plan.
The City must issue a written approval of the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan prior to the
issuance of a grading permit, subdivision plat approval, or site plan approval. The ESCP must be
consistent with the Drainage Report submitted in accordance with City Of Greeley Criteria.
Stormwater Quality Control Plan: A site specific Stormwater Quality Control Plan (SQCP)
must be submitted to the City's Public Works Department for review and approval. The SQCP
consisting of a written narrative report and a site plan map should be consistent with the site's
drainage report and can be included within the required drainage report for the project.
State Permit All construction site activities in Colorado that result in a land disturbance equal to
or greater than one acre, and areas less than one acre that are part of a common plan for
• development, are required to obtain a Colorado Discharge Permit System(CDPS)permit for
stormwater discharges from construction sites. (Referenced from Section 13 —Construction Site
Erosion and Sediment Control, City of Greeley Design and Construction Specifications
Volume II)
Comprehensive Drain ape Plan:
It is the intent of the City Of Greeley to produce stormwater master plans that will guide the
public and private development projects on various quantity and quality aspects of stormwater
management for all of the sub-watersheds in the city. Where such master plans are available and
approved by City Council, site development projects are to conform to the stormwater
management guidance and standards in said master plans.
The City has participated in the development of regional basin-wide master plans to define the
major drainage way facilities. These plans set forth requirements for new development and
identify the required capital improvements. These master plans also provide criteria and
requirements associated with unit runoff rates, level of affordable flood protection, etc. The City
requires that all new development and redevelopment must participate in the design and
construction of the major drainage way system within the development as defined by adopted
master drainage plans or as required by the City.

reviewed and modified as needed. At this meeting the Stormwater Management Inspector meets
the developer and others and obtains names and phone numbers of responsible parties for the
project.
Public Information:
Land Development Process: •
Notification of a public meeting where a land use or development application will be considered
is accomplished by the following:
• Posting of a Sign on the Property
• Publishing a Notice in the newspaper
• Courtesy notice letter mailed to property owners typically within five hundred feet of the
proposed site.
Public meetings requiring public notice are those conducted by the following:
• Zoning Board of Appeals (variances)
• Planning Commission(uses by special review, final planned unit developments, appeals)
• City Council (Rezoning,Establishment of Zoning,Annexations, Preliminary planned unit
developments or appeals.)
Citizen Inquires:
A program or procedure will be developed for the receipt and consideration of public inquires,
concerns and information submitted regarding constriction sites.This provision is intended to
further reinforce the public participation measure and to recognize the crucial role that the public
can play in identifying instances of noncompliance.

Inspection and Enforcement Procedures:
Inspection Program:
The purpose of an inspection is to determine if the Soil &Erosion Control Plan is being
followed,the BMP's are being properly maintained and to check if additional sediment/erosion
control measures are necessary. It is the intent of the City to use the inspection as an opportunity
to educate the contractor on what is needed to reduce the water quality impacts from the project
during construction and post construction. Inspection of all construction sites disturbing at least
one acre occur monthly or after a significant rain/snow event. The construction sites will be
inspected for the following: specified BMP's are constructed and in accordance with approved
plans and are being maintained.
Enforcement Program:
It is the City's intent to work with developers/contractors/builders/property owners when
problems arise at sites. The City's goals are to educate the
developers/contractors/builders/property owners on what BMP's are necessary and how to install
and maintain them. Enforcement actions by the City will only be taken when other means of
getting the site into compliance have been unsuccessful.
Best Management Practices: (BMP's)
2.4.1 Ordinance
The ordinance for Grading and Soil Erosion Control for Construction sites will be updated to
require erosion and sediment controls at construction sites that includes enforcement provisions
to ensure compliance, to the extent allowable under state and local law.
Scope: The Grading and Soil and Erosion Ordinance will be up-dated in 2003, with approval of
City Council obtained in 2004.
2.4.2 Construction Site Inspections
The purpose of an inspection is to determine if the Soil &Erosion Control Plan is being followed
and if the BMP's are being properly maintained. It is the intent of the City to use the inspection
as an opportunity to educate the contractor on what is needed to reduce the water quality impacts
from the project during construction and post construction.

It is the City's intent to work with developers/contractors/builders/property owners when
problems arise at sites. Our goal is to educate the developers/contractors/builders/property
owners on what BMP's are necessary and how to install and maintain them. Enforcement actions
will be taken when other means of getting the site into compliance have failed. Construction
Phase Enforcement when deficiencies are present. The following occurs in this order:
1. Verbal warning to contractor detailing requirements for compliance and documented by
City Of Greeley Inspector.
2. A Soil & Erosion compliance form to contractor and developer and any other applicable
party detailing problems and solutions
3. Notice of Violation Letter with Deadline to comply with Erosion Control Plan is given to
the project owner and contractor.
4. Charge back to contractor for work completed by City Department(s)
5. Place a hold on any future grading permits or other permits requested by project owner
and or contractor.
2.4.4 Development Review (Current Practice)
Development review staff review applicable plans to ensure compliance with erosion and
sediment control requirements for all public and private construction projects.
2.4.5. Pre-construction Review Meetings (Current Practice)
A pre-construction meeting is required for all public and private projects before a grading permit
is issued. During the pre-construction meeting, soil and erosion control from water runoff is
reviewed and modified as needed. At this meeting the Stormwater Management Inspector meets
the developer and others and obtains names and phone numbers of responsible parties for the
project.
2.4.6 Education & Training Prozrams for Construction Site Operators
The City of Greeley Construction Site Operators program consists of two elements.These
elements include encouraging contractors to attend the Red Rocks Community College or other
appropriate training opportunities, and one-on-one training as part of the regular soil and erosion
control site inspections.
Scope: Red Rocks Community College, as an example,offers an erosion class aimed at
construction contractors. The purpose is to educate them on the technical and regulatory
requirements for sediment and erosion control.The City will encourage individuals to participate
in a soil and erosion class, like the one offered by Red Rocks Community College,by providing
them information at the pre-construction meeting. The City will also use its soil and erosion
control inspections as an opportunity to educate contractors.When problems are found with Soil
& Erosion Control BMP's, the Stormwater Management Inspector will use the findings as an

opportunity to inform the operator of efforts that could have been taken to avoid the problem and
measures that may be taken to prevent a recurrence. This BMP will be implemented in 2003.
2.4.7 Public Information (Complaint Response)
A program or procedure will be developed for the receipt and consideration of public inquires,
concerns and information submitted regarding construction sites. This provision is.intended to
further reinforce the public participation measure and to recognize the crucial role that the public
can play in identifying instances of noncompliance.
Citizen inquires on construction sites are currently referred to Public Works—Stonnwater
Management Division staff for acknowledgement and consideration.
Scope: Develop a tracking mechanism to record submitted public information,both written and
verbal and action or response to the public information. Tracking mechanism will be developed
and implemented in 2003.
2.4.8 Waste Control Regulations
Materials are sometimes used at construction sites that present a potential for contamination of
stormwater runoff These include but are not limited to fuel, oil, lubricants, paints, solvents,
concrete-curing compounds and other liquid chemicals such as fertilizers,herbicides and
pesticides. Other waste categories include:
❑ Discarded building materials
❑ Concrete truck washout
❑ Litter
o Sanitary waste(i.e.portable toilets
Scope: Revise and/or up-date City Of Greeley's Design and Criteria and Construction
Specifications Volume II—Section 13—Construction Site Erosion& Sediment Control to include
requirements for controlling waste based on Urban Drainage specifications as outlined in volume
III. Recommended revisions will be proposed in 2003, with approval and revisions being
implemented in 2004.

2.5 Post-construction Stormwater Management in New
Development/Redevelopment aisifed/(cilAfd 9%30720 3,
The goal of the Post-construction Stormwater Management program is to develop, implement,
and enforce procedures and controls to reduce the discharge of pollutants into the MS4 after
construction is completed. This program has been developed with following goals and objectives
in mind:
o Improve the water quality of stormwater runoff to maximum extent practicable (MEP)
o Prevent accumulations of soil and debris into the City Of Greeley's stormwater system
❑ Prevent the discharge of chemicals, chemical wastes and other pollutants from entering
the City Of Greeley's stormwater system.
❑ Protect state waters. Waterways and wetlands from damages caused by erosion,
sedimentation, chemical wastes and other pollutants, and
❑ Provide a mechanism that ensures adequate long-term operation and maintenance of
BMP's installed during development.

— Irrigated grass buffer strips
- Grass lined swales
- Extended detention basins(dry basins)
— Retention ponds(w/permanent pool);
- Constructed wetlands
— , Modular block porous pavement
The Development Code (Chapter 18 of municipal code) and Development Agreements require:
1. Constructed storm water facilities to be inspected by the City for conformances with
City requirements -
2. Developer or Homeowners association is responsible for maintenance, operation and
repair of the storm water detention improvements'and facilities.

Best Management Practices: (BMP's)
2.5.1 BMP: Detention Pond Maintenance (Current and on-going practice)
Detention ponds are useful tools in stormwater management and must be maintained both
functionally and aesthetically. The City has required detention pond/s in new commercial and
residential developments since the 1970's. Up to 1997 the required detention ponds were for
flood protection, since late 1997 the detention ponds have been required to add stormwater
quality enhancement to flood protection(section 12 of Volume H Storm Drainage Design
Criteria and Construction Specifications).
All City owned detention ponds are inspected for litter and debris two times a year. Any litter
and debris found is collected and hauled away. Illegal dumping of material occurs, and material
not hazardous will be hauled away. Effort is given to find the source and notify them of illegal
dumping. Grass clippings, leaves, landscape leftovers, etc are the majority of material illegally
dumped. Mowing detention ponds occurs during the growing season, both to improve the
appearance of the detention ponds and to allow for ease of water flow. Mowing takes place a
minimum of two times a year. Herbicidal spraying also occurs on an as needed basis. Reseeding
of detention ponds is completed on an as needed basis, using native grasses.Inspection of ponds
for functionality occurs one time a year. This inspection includes an Engineering Technician
from the City's Engineering Division and a Street Division Drainage Maintenance team member.
Deficiencies or problems are noted and repaired as soon as budgety/priority/weather conditions
allow. Surface features such as catch basins,troughs, chases, and ditches are inspected a
minimum of one time biannually:

2.5.2 Catch Basin Team (Current and on-going practice)
The Street Division has two team members to clean catch basin fixtures. These duties involve
physically inspecting and cleaning all catch basins found within the City, as well as cleaning the
radii of corners and cleaning sediment and debris from underneath step rocks.
2.5.3 Inspection and Repair of Infrastructure (Current and Ongoing Practice)
The inspection process used within the City Of Greeley consists mainly of visual inspection.
Manhole chambers,vaults and other subsurface features are inspected for deficiencies during
maintenance cleaning operations. Pipe functions,inlets, and outlets are also inspected during
these operations.
Main line and lateral runs of buried pipe are not normally inspected. Camera inspections are
performed if pipe failure is suspected.Routine camera inspection is not normally performed.
Surface features such as catch basins,troughs, chases, and ditches are inspected a minimum of
one time biannually.
It is the policy of the Street Division to maintain and repair all drainage infrastructure features
found in the City Of Greeley drainage system within budgetary and equipment limitations.

' 2.6. Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal
Operations
The Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping measure requires the City Of Greeley to examine
and modify their own actions to help ensure a reduction in the amount and type of pollution that:
• Collects on streets,parking lots,open spaces, and storage and vehicle maintenance areas
and is discharged into Poudre and/or South Platte Rivers.
• Results from actions such as environmentally damaging land development and floodplain
management practices or poor maintenance of stormwater systems.
Routine maintenance of municipally owned streets and storm water structural controls such as
regional detention ponds and drainage ways is performed to reduce pollutant discharges to storm
water. Routine maintenance of these controls includes removal of trash, debris, and sediment
from detention facilities, open channels, inlets, catch basins, and pipe systems. Street
maintenance for water quality includes street sweeping.
The goal of the Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations Program is
to minimize,reduce, and prevent polluted runoff from municipal operations into the stormwater
drainage system.

2.6.1 Street Sweeping/Cleaning Program (Current and Ongoing)
It is the policy of the Street Division Sweeping Team to have a written program for sweeping the
ever-growing infrastructure by utilizing a preventative maintenance schedule. Main arterials are
first priority and are swept a minimum of twice a month or every third week.A mini main list
was developed to target smaller areas of main arterials that collect heavy deposits of debris. i.e.
dirt from alleys and tree leaves in older parts of town. Complete details and information is
available in the"Streets Maintenance Operations Manual."

CITY OF GREELEY-STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
STREET SWEEPING YEARLY SCHEDULE:
The Streets Division objective is to sweep main arterials a minimum of twice per month. Some
selected arterials are swept weekly(mini-mains). Residential streets from 23rd Avenue west,
including all paved alleys, are swept a minimum of five times a year and residential streets east
of 23rd Avenue are swept a minimum of six times a year. The reason for sweeping a minimum of
six times a year east of 23t Avenue is the amount of mature trees, graveled alleys and driveways
cause more debris to accumulate on the street. The downtown area is swept weekly and the
downtown paved alleys and parking lots are swept once every month.
WINTER STREET SWEEPING
During the winter,team members,on a priority basis, concentrate on sweeping all snow routes.
After a storm ends and weather permitting,the Streets Division starts sweeping immediately.
The Street's Division objective is to have all snow routes swept within one week after a major
storm.
SPRING STREET SWEEPING:
During the spring, the Street Division will sweep every street in Greeley a minimum of one time.
SUMMER STREET SWEEPING:
During the summer every street in the City is swept one to two more times.
FALL STREET SWEEPING:
During the fall, the Streets Division uses the sweepers for City Leaf Pick-Up Program. Every
street in the City is swept an additional one to two times to reduce the accumulation of leaves in
the stormwater drainage system.
TRACKING
The Street sweeping team developed a map of the City with a transparent cover to track each
time a district and section has been swept. Each time a section in a district is swept completely,
the date is written on the board and at the end of the year that information is complied for
tracking and reporting purposes.

within the city limits;however, a small percentage of these are located outside of City
boundaries.
It is the policy of the Street Division to clean all stormwater drainage pipe, inlets,basins, chases,
etc. on a routinely scheduled basis. All inlets and basins within the public right-of-way are
cleaned a minimum of six times a year.Underground drainage pipe are cleaned at a minimum of
40,000 feet a year. The City has over 600,000 feet of pipe in its stormwater system. The
maximum allowable time for all pipes to be cleaned once is twelve years. All selected ditches
within the City's infrastructure are cleaned a minimum of one time annually. All selected
culverts within the City's infrastructure are cleaned a minimum of one time biannually. Key
culverts throughout the City are cleaned two times a year. These culverts are identified and listed
in the Street Maintenance Operations Manual All other surface features found within the
stormwater infrastructure(chases, troughs, etc.) are cleaned a minimum of one time biannually.

2.6.3 Vegetation Management Program(Current and Ongoing)
The objective of the Street Divisions Vegetation Management Program is:
(1) to provide and maintain a high level of quality vegetation management along all main
arterials,right-of-ways,bike paths, detention ponds, city owned ditches,lots and easements, and
(2)to control weeds so that they do not exceed 12 inches in height per City ordinance
This objective provides for an attractive City, as well as arterial entryways into the City.
It also provides a smooth flowing surface drainage system.
This plan is accomplished through a combination of spraying, weed eating,mowing and re-
seeding.All designated mowing and spraying areas will be done a minimum of three times per
season or as required due to seasonal growth patterns. The Street Division maintains 172.17
acres along main arterials,right-of-ways,bike paths, 32.0 acics of detention ponds, City owned
ditches, lots and easements with more being added annually. There are over six miles of
irrigation ditches and 149.59 acres of state highways within the City limits totaling 354.30 acres.

❑ Maintain and repair damaged and washed out portions of ditch embankments and
easements
o Maintain the ditches function to convey designated amounts of water.
a Maintain the ditches ability to act as a stormwater drainage fixture.
a Enhance the ditches attraction for small wildlife by proper management of trees, shrubs,
landscape, etc.
a A complete visual inspection of all features is conducted on an annual basis.
a Rebuild on average 800 linear feet of the ditch per year for erosion control.
2.6.6 Poudre River Maintenance Program (Current and On-going Practice)
The Streets Division is responsible for maintenance of the Poudre River by trimming and
removing trees,bank stabilization and reinforcement and cleaning. This program helps maintain
free water flow and reduces the possibility of flooding.
2.6.7 Municipal Facilities Map
A municipal facility map will be developed that identifies locations of facilities owned and
maintained by the City. Each of the non-standard MS4's(AIMS,UNC and Greeley-Evans
School District)will also develop facilities map for their respective jurisdictions.
Scope: To create this map, staff will need to identify facility name and address, along with any
streams, major drainage ways, and/or ditches that may be affected. Municipal facility maps will
be completed for the City Of Greeley by the end of year 2003. Municipal Facility maps, if
applicable for the non-standard MS4 (UNC)will be completed in 2004.These maps would
identify the following types of activities: landscape maintenance,material storage, material
loading, university vehicle refueling sites,vehicle washing stations and equipment maintenance.
For each facility identified, applicable activities related to maintenance will also be identified.

CITY OF GREELEY-STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
2.6.8 Municipal Facilities Stormwater Ouality Plan
The purpose of the Municipal Facilities Stormwater Quality Plan(MFSQP)will be to prevent
and/or reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff at municipal sites.
Scope: The MFSQP will be developed to provide a stormwater quality plan for the sites
identified in the evaluation stated above in 2.6.8. In order to initiate the Municipal Stormwater
Quality Plan(MFSQP), it is recognized by the City that multiple structural and non-structural
BMP's will need to be in place. The stormwater quality management components associated
with the MFSQP will be as follows:
1. Preventative Maintenance—requires yearly scheduled maintenance, scheduled inspections, and
nonscheduled maintenance. These procedures will reduce potential pollutants in stormwater discharge
by denying stormwater access to substances that could migrate with the stormwater,
2. Good Housekeeping—procedures for the facilities include developing and adhering to a routine
schedule for clean-up of the facilities, scheduled maintenance, and posting signs and labels on storage
areas and areas where spills might occur,
3. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures—procedures for the facility include material storage
procedures, loading/unloading of liquids or solids,preventative inspection of liquid containers, and
correct vehicle positioning for materials transfer. Spill response procedures include identification of
• procedures and equipment for spill containment,manual clean-up procedures or removal by vacuum
or pump systems, and the use of absorbents or gelling agents. These procedures will reduce potential
pollutants in stormwater discharge;
4. BMPs for Pollutant Sources—procedures for the facility include the use of BMPs for exposure
minimization to storm runoff, and flow diversion practices. It is also to include the use of BMPs
associated with fueling,maintenance,painting,washing, loading and unloading, storage,and proper
waste disposal practices;
5 Employee Training—to inform City employees of the impacts associated with illegal discharges,
proper recycling and disposal of wastes from municipal operations,and proper installation and
maintenance of BMPs.
The Municipal Facilities Stormwater Quality Plan will be implemented in 2005 for City Of
Greeley municipal facilities and in 2006 for the non-standard MS4(UNC)facilities if
applicable.

ercentages and a minimum of one tree.This ordinance 011 be developed by December of 2003 and Efigiagalinala
To reduce the amount of impervious surface within the City of Evans the City intends to allow green parking in conjunction with
open concrete pavers as alternates to impervious pavement for parking and driveways.Other non-impervious surface alternatives
the City will make available to developers for new development and redevelopment are landscape centers in turnarounds(cul-de-
sacs)and to allow for the narrowing of residential streets,with grass swales as drainageways,in approved areas of the City.
These options and other options,which will be developed along with a new ordinance,will be implemented by DrernhVit
Wij.This ordinance will require the developer to provide enhanced stormwater improvements.The improvements will be
assigned different values based on the benefit provided.Developers will be required to provide enhanced improvements that
combine to meet a minimum score.
9.5.5 BMP:Inspection and Maintenance
The City of Evans will inspect the entire storm water system annually,and after any major storm water event(>2 inches of
rainfall)to identify areas that require maintenance.Typical landscaping maintenance,such as debris clean up and mowing will

Re: CDPS Stormwater Management Program
CDPS Permit No. COR- 090018, City of Longmont
Boulder County and Weld County
Dear Mr. Nathan Moore:
In your letter of August 26, 2003 you asked for some clarification of the City of Longmont's
CDPS Stormwater Management Program. The Watershed Approach to Stream Health (WASH)
Project has prepared the following response to your comments, which we submit to you.
1. Program Area#1 -Public Education, Illicit Discharge Education: Plans to comply with Part
1.B.1.a.2 of the Permit are not included. The City must develop a program to inform
businesses and the general public of impacts associated with illegal discharges and improper
disposal of waste within the MS4's jurisdiction. This requirement may be met by using the
program areas already described in the application,however a specific commitment to
include illicit discharges must be added.
The WASH Project, has on the Partners' behalf, contracted with Boulder County's
Partners for a Clean Environment (PACE) to inform businesses of the impacts associated
with illicit discharges and improper disposal of waste as part of their business certification
program through the implementation of MCM 3.
• WASH will ask PACE to prepare targeted outreach materials for certain businesses, such
as mobile cleaners, restaurants,vehicle service facilities, and concrete suppliers, that are
identified as having the potential to impact the WASH MS4's. PACE will be mailing
materials or conducting outreach to 80% of all vehicle service facilities and restaurants in
each Partner's permitted areas in 2004. In 2005, 2006 and 2007,PACE will continue
outreach to vehicle service facilities and restaurants and will also continue to develop and
implement outreach to other businesses identified as having the potential to impact the
WASH Partner's MS4's (see attached MCM 3 Table).
On behalf of WASH, the City of Boulder's Education Program will be distributing
educational brochures to both residents and businesses. This general brochure will provide
October 27, 2003
City of Longmont Response Letter
Page 2 of 4
information on the impacts associated with illicit discharges. The message will be included
in other educational materials.
2. Program Area#1-Public Education, Overall Adequacy: The level of public outreach
described in the application is not adequate to comply with the requirement to implement
Best Management Practices (BMPs) to the Maximum-Extent Practicable (MEP). Many of
the key elements of the Public Education program do not contain measurable goals to ensure
an adequate level of implementation. Specifically, the following items do not contain
adequate measurable goals:
a. Distribution of Educational Materials: The application addresses production of
materials by the WASH group but does not include a commitment to distribute a
specific number of items. For this program element to be adequate, the City must
commit to a distribution of minimum of one brochure per household during the
permit term.
Over the permit cycle, a total number of brochures equivalent to the number of households
in each Partner's permitted area will be distributed (see table below). WASH Partners will
distribute the brochures by the most appropriate means, including municipal water utility
bills, water district mailings, direct mailings, community newsletters, at community events,
and by other means (see attached MCM
1 Table).
WASH Partner *Approximate Number of
Households
Boulder 39,596
Boulder County 8,900
Longmont 26,667
Louisville 7,216
Erie 3,750
Superior 4,500
TOTAL 90,629
"Based on best current available data.
b. Curriculum Program: Will the curriculum program include residents of the City that
reside in Weld County? If not, additional program elements must be implemented in
Weld County to compensate for the lack of implementation of the curriculum
program in that area.
The curriculum program will include the residents of the City that reside in Weld County
and adjacent urbanized Weld County residents that are covered by Intergovernmental
Agreements with Weld County.
c. Overall Scale: The overall level of outreach, including the additional outreach
requested in this letter, is not adequate. At least one additional program element
should be implemented. As an example, a web page could be developed and made
available through the permittee's existing Internet site, articles could be published in
a local paper, or signage could be added in recreational areas adjacent to creeks.
October 27, 2003
City of Longmont Response Letter

Currently, there is a WASH website. The website resides at Boulder Community Network
on the BASIN site (www.BASIN.or2/wash). The WASH website references the individual
Partner contact information and stormwater pollution prevention messages. In addition,
each Partner's website will have information about storm water quality and the WASH
program as well as a link to the WASH website available to their citizens (see attached
MCM I Table).
3. Program Area#2 - Public Involvement, Public Meetings: The application does not clearly
commit to soliciting input directly on the City's NPDES Stormwater Program. If the City
will rely on public notice and meetings provided by the WASH, the City's program must also
be mentioned in the public notice, discussion and solicitation of comments.
An annual public meeting will be held in each Partner's community. The public notice for
each of the Partner's annual meetings will state that the purpose of the public meetings is
to inform the public of the programs and to solicit input from the public on these
programs. Partner contact information and/or feedback forms will be provided at each
meeting.
4. Program Area#3 - Illicit Discharge, Training: The application should include a general
statement addressing which staff will be trained.
The Illicit Discharge Detection Plan (IDD Plan) to be developed in permit year 2004,will
identify the appropriate staff to be trained in illicit discharge identification. In addition, a
component of MCM 6 will include the development of a BMP to address illicit discharge
identification and reporting by city departments.
5. Program Area#3- Illicit Discharge,Priority Areas: The application does not include plans to
comply with the requirements in Part 1.B.3.a.3 of the Permit to develop and implement
procedures for locating priority areas likely to have illicit discharges. The City must address
development of this program element in the application.
The development of these procedures will be included in the IDD Plan to be developed by
WASH in 2004 and implementation initiated by the Partners in 2005. The IDD Plan will
include the following three components as outlined in the permit application; procedures
for locating priority areas likely to have illicit discharges, procedures for tracing the source
of illicit discharges, and procedures for removing the source of illicit discharges.
6. Program Area#3- Illicit Discharge,Allowable Discharges: The list of allowable non-
stormwater discharges in Part 1.B.3.a.4 of the permit should be included in the City's
program description and included in training and procedures as applicable.
A list of allowable non-stormwater discharges and occasional incidental non-stormwater
discharges will be identified and included in the local ordinances for each Partner. These
ordinances are schedule for adoption in 2004. Also, a BMP module will be developed and
used in the municipal training program for MCM 6 that identifies the allowable discharges.
7. Program Area#4 - Construction, Construction Waste: Plans to comply with Part I.B.4.a.2.iii
of the Permit are not included. The City must describe procedures to require construction
site operators to control waste, such as discarded building materials, concrete truck washout,
October 27, 2003
City of Longmont Response Letter
Page 4 of 4
chemicals, litter, and sanitary waste at the construction site that may cause adverse impacts to
water quality.
The Construction and Post-construction ordinance for each Partner will require
construction site operators to control waste on sites larger than one acre. Routine
inspections and citizen complaints will ensure that the ordinances are complied with. The
City of Longmont's Standard Operating Procedures that will be develop in 2004 will
specify frequency of inspections to document compliance with construction waste control
requirements.
8. Program Area#4-Construction, Public Input: Plans to comply with Part I.B.4.a.2.v of the
permit are not complete. The City must describe procedures for receipt of information
submitted by the public, in addition to development of a tracking system.
The Construction and Post-construction ordinance for each Partner will have provisions
for obtaining, responding to and tracking public input. As stated in the WASH Plan, the
City of Longmont's individual program will include standard operating procedures for
tracking and responding to information submitted by the public. The City of Longmont
tracking system is scheduled in the permit application to be developed in 2005 and
implemented by the Partners in 2006.
9. Program Area#5 —Post-Construction, BMP Tracking: How will the City track post-
construction BMPs to adequately ensure their long term operation and maintenance? A
measurable goal must be provided for implementation of a tracking system or an equivalent
procedure in order to meet the MEP criteria.
As stated in the application, the Partners will develop specific standard operation
procedures for site plan review and inspection of long-term BMPs in 2004. In 2006, each
Partner will implement a monitoring/tracking and inspection procedure for construction of
BMPs and post construction maintenance. The Construction and Post-construction
ordinance will give the Partners that authority.
Please find enclosed the amended WASH Plan Text Tables, which illustrates, by underline and
italics,the adjustments to the original permit application submittals and compliance with MCM
requirements. If you should have any further questions concerning the City of Longmont's
individual programs,please call David Hollingsworth at 303-651-8328. If you should have any

Goals/Objective runoff.
Relationship to Objectives:
overall goals. • Evaluate and consider alternatives to municipal operations
• Reduction in the amount and type of pollution that: (I) collects on streets,parking lots, open spaces, and storage and
vehicle maintenance areas and is discharged into local waterways; and (2) results from actions such as environmentally
damaging land development and flood management practices or poor maintenance of storm sewer systems.
Regulatory To satisfy the regulatory requirements for this minimum control measure the following is required:
Compliance (CRS (F) Pollution prevention/good housekeeping for municipal operations.
61.8(11)(a)(ii)(F)) (1) The permittee must develop and implement an operation and maintenance program that includes an employee
training component and has the ultimate goal of preventing or reducing pollutant runoff from municipal operations. The
program must also inform public employees of impacts associated with illegal discharges and improper disposal of waste from
municipal operations. The program must prevent and/or reduce stormwater pollution from facilities such as streets, roads,
highways, municipal parking lots, maintenance and storage yards,fleet or maintenance shops with outdoor storage areas,
salt/sand storage locations and snow disposal areas operated by the permittee, and waste transfer stations, and from activities
such as park and open space maintenance,fleet and building maintenance, street maintenance, new construction of municipal
facilities, and stormwater system maintenance, as applicable.
Community To develop Best Management Practices to mitigate the impacts of urbanization on the quantity and quality of storm runoff. This
Standards includes the development of programs, which address sediment and nutrient loading, illicit discharges (spills), and erosion.
Programs will focus on prevention rather than treatment, be easily implemented and enforceable and be cost effective.
