Title

Consider amending and reenacting the Proposed Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Ordinance Amendment Section 7-6-5 of the City Code

Body

Presented By:  Thomas Hartman, PE, Director of Public Works

Recommendation and Review

The proposed ordinance amendments are based on updates to the City’s MS4 permit language regarding illicit discharges. Revisions were to distinguish between exempt flows from emergency fire-fighting activities and training fire-fighting activities, which required them to be managed in a manner to avoid in-stream impacts, and to clarify when exterior washing activities were not considered an illicit discharge.
