Title

SECOND READING

AMENDING SECTION 33.16(i)(1)(d), SOIL EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL,  SWPPP DESIGN COMPONENTS, GENERAL CRITERIA, TRAINING, ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BLAINE

Background

As of August 1, 2013, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) revised and reissued the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit.  In March 2014, the City of Blaine (the City) was extended coverage under the newly revised permit.  In order to remain compliant, the City is required to update its stormwater related ordinances, policies and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).

The City's stormwater and erosion control ordinances need minor revisions to ensure compliance with the MS4 permit requirements.  These changes were explained to Council at the January 22^nd Workshop.  They consist of adding detail and specifics to measures already included in the ordinance.  The result brings the ordinances into compliance but does not exceed what is necessary and does not raise the bar above the minimum requirements of the MS4 permit.  Costs of compliance, whether to the City on its own projects or to contractors working within the City, will be minimal and in most cases will not add any additional cost.

The stormwater ordinance revisions are being presented separately from those of the erosion control ordinance as the former is located in the City Code of Ordinances and the latter is contained in the Zoning Code.

Ordinance No. 15-2307 was introduced for first reading at the February 19, 2015 Council meeting and is now presented for final adoption.

Recommendation

By motion, adopt Ordinance No. 15-2307.
