13. Why the Need for Increased Stormwater Funding? Citizens expect a higher level of protection from flooding Increased development density = Increased runoff Unfunded Federal mandates (NPDES) =Permit Requirements

14. Kansas Water Pollution Control General Permit 2014 Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) New Stormwater Permit Regulations

15. Two Major Issues Flooding Issues Stormwater Quality Issues (Unfunded Federal Mandates)

16. Continue Stormwater Management Plan Update Stormwater Management Plan Maximum Extent Practicable Satisfy requirements of NEW Permit & CW Act Provisions and Compliance Parties Responsible for Compliance Modifications to BMP’s in SWP Stormwater Management Program Document Requirements (Prior 2014)

17. 2014 MS-4 Permit 6 Minimum Control Measures Public Information and Outreach Public Involvement Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control Post Construction Site Stormwater Management Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipalities

18. Public Information and Outreach Town Hall Meetings Staff Training Attended MACA meeting Provide Waste Bags for Pets in Parks

19. Public Involvement Big Event- High School Students pick up trash in Waterways. BPU sponsored the water festival Tree Board’s Tree Planting Program (reimburse cost of trees)

20. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Adopted a Storm Water Ordinance Raised Manholes to eliminate Runoff entering sanitary sewer Construction Site Inspections Code Enforcement Violations or Citations

21. Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control Establish Stormwater Erosion Control Permit System Barriers Concrete Wash Outs

22. Post Construction Inspections Controls are in place until Grass Established

23. Municipal Pollution Prevention/House Keeping Inlet/Manhole/Line/Culvert Cleaning Channel/Ditch/Culvert End Maintenance Street Sweeping Detention Ponds at Street Department Sediment Basins at Oxford Pointe Replace West Trunk Lines to reduce Inflow and Infiltration

24. Monitoring Requirements & Frequency In Stream Monitoring Main Streams Monitoring of Stormwater Flow Four Storm Events Per Monitoring Site/Year After July 1st 2014, 2 samples taken for the year. 4 Samples then Conducted in Spring and Fall for following permit years Between certain dates.

25. Permit Compliance Activities and Deadlines - Part IV City to select & implement a BMP to improve water quality City OWNED BMP Location Design Factors Schedule for Constructing Establish Measureable Goals of TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Loads) Mapping Requirements

26. Year 1 - 2014 Complete Mapping and Submit Select and Initiate Design of Appropriate BMP Start Stormwater Sampling, 2 samples after July 1 st, 2014

27. Year 2 - 2015 Complete Selected BMP Design Initiate Selected BMP Installations Initiate Stormwater Sampling/Monitoring 2 Spring Samples 2 Summer Samples

28. Year 3 & 4 – 2016-2017 Continue with BMP Installations Outfall Monitoring

29. Year 5 - 2018 Complete all BMP Installation Continue Steam Outfall Monitoring Report Effectiveness of BMP & Measureable Goals

31. Funding Sources for Stormwater Specific Funding 3 Possible Sources: Property Tax Sales Tax Storm Water Utility

32. Property Tax Pro’s Based on Value Typically higher income pay more Con’s Tax Lid Current Mill Levy 51.570 Approximately 8 mills to equate to $ 1 M/year No Transference Large share of Benefactors do not contribute

33. Sales Tax Pro’s Based on Spending Transference Con’s Current Tax Rate 9% By Law The City cannot impose >1% Money spent outside of City by residents

34. Storm Water Utility Pro’s Every Household Contributes Utility not a Tax All residential units pay an equal amount Bigger Burden on Industry Con’s No Transference Bigger Burden on Industry

35. Storm Water Rate Calculation Flat Fee Single Family Muti-Family Condominiums Mobile Homes Calculated Fee Commercial Institutional Industrial Parcel Imperv. Area=Units ERU (Square Feet)* *ERU=Equivalent Residential Unit

39. Next Steps Phase I Dry Turkey Creek Watershed Drainage Study Army Corps of Engineers Planning Assistance to States program 50% - 50% Cost Split Phase II Bull Creek Watershed Drainage Study Public Meetings to bring up specific Drainage Issues. Drainage hand outs available.
