1. Stormwater/ NPDES Mrs. Perryman Mrs. Trimble

2. Stormwater Water that runs off impervious surfaces into a surface water. And now...a message from your goldfish!And now...a message from your goldfish!

3. Problem Sources Non-Point Pollution -comes from many sources rather then from a specific single source STORMWATER Point Pollution- Comes from a single specific source

4. Examples of Non-point Sources Urban Run-off –lawn chemicals –Erosion –pet waste –household waste –Automobiles –Landfills –Atmosphere Help Ducky!

5. Agriculture Non-point Sources –Soil erosion –Nutrients –Organic matter –Pathogens –Hormones –Antibiotics –Chemicals –Animal wastes

6. Hydrological Problems Disruption of natural water balance Increased flood peaks Increased storm run-off More frequent flooding Increased bank full flows Lower dry weather flows Flash Flooding Holy cars batman

7. Pollution Hotspots! Auto recycling Commercial parking lots Construction activities Fleet storage Industrial rooftops Industrial storage and unloading Public works areas Vehicle service and maintenance Vehicle washing/ steam cleaning

8. Typical Urban Pollutants Suspended solids Nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorous) Pesticides and herbicides Oil and grease Temperature Heavy metals (copper, zinc, lead, cadmium and mercury)

9. This effects water quality by: Increased stream temperature Increased pollutants Increased risk of fish advisories Increased risk of beach closings Public advisories Fish kills

10. What are the solutions Truck washing pads Urban stormwater ponds Vegetative buffers Shoreline stabilization Wetland and natural treatments

11. Silt Fences When all else fails

12. Silt fences

14. Citizen Complaint Form http://www.epa.state.il.us/pollution- complaint/http://www.epa.state.il.us/pollution- complaint/

15. Best Practices

16. Legislation that helps: Section 319 of Clean water Act- Non- point Source Management Clean Water State Revolving Loans NPDES Program 303d List- Threatened and Impaired Waters TMDL

17. NPDES National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System –Phase I- Addressed the physical facilities of the villages and cities –Phase II- Public Education and Outreach

18. TRAP water were it falls Catch water where it falls!
