Storm Water Permit Issues • The current Statewide General permit does not require green waste containerization, however it does require us to review BM P’s for green waste (among other potential contaminants) in 2016. • It is likely that our current practices (street sweeping and catch basin clean ups) would fall short of the goal to reduce pollutants to the most practicable level. • The draft permit originally required containerization but stakeholder comments were successful in reducing it to the review of BM P’s • The recent discussions regarding a Regional M S4 permit are continuing and we are actively participating and keeping up to date on the status. This permit may be considered for adoption as early as January 2015. The City is only required to be covered under one permit so participation in the Regional permit is not mandatory but may prove to be fiscally beneficial to us. It is too early to make that determination.
