City SWPPP Plan
Background:
The City of Waseca has been designated as a MS4 (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System) by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. As a result of this designation, the City is required by Local, State, and Federal laws to operate the storm sewer system in compliance with a NDPES (National Pollution Discharge Elimination System) permit and an accompanying SWPPP (Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program).
City Programs:
The City has developed a storm water program to help minimize the amount of pollution that enters the storm water system due to activities that occur within the City. This program outlines a variety of BMPs (Best Management Practices) and activities that are to be completed by the City in order to lower water-related pollution. These activities range from construction erosion control to street-sweeping to homeowner lawn management. Each of the nearly 50 BMPs possesses one or more of the following MCMs (minimum control measures) or goals.
- Public Education / Outreach
- Public Involvement / Participation
- Illicit Discharge / Elimination
- Construction Site Runoff Control
- Post-Construction Management
- Pollution Prevention / Good Housekeeping
Updated printed copies of the City’s latest SWPPP are available at City Hall within the engineering department.
