Fourth St., 700 CHA Saint Paul, MN 55102 Re: Comments on City of Saint Paul's Stormwater Permit 2007 Annual Report Dear Ms. Weber: The Capitoi Region Watershed District (CRWD) has reviewed the City of Saint Paul's Stormwater Pemiit 2007 Annual Report and offers several recommendations for improving the City's stormwater management program as well as comments on the City's report for next year. Key activiries that CRWD recommends that the City focus on in 2Q08/2009 to minimize water quality impacts to local waters are illicit dischargeslimproper waste disposal and good housekeeping(pollution prevention measures of municipal operarions. Illicit Discharges and Improper Disposal Based on the results from the first round of illicit discharge field screening completed in 2004 and subsequent screenittgs, the City concluded that illicit discharges and improper disposal are not a significant problem in the Ciry. However prior to making the determination that illicit discharges and improper disposal aze not significant issues within the City, CRWD believes that further information and analyses are required and the City should revise the above statement in the report accordingly. The City has not provided illicit d'ascharge data in this annual report or previous annual reports to support that it is not a significant problem. -In additlon, the City should consult CRWD's monitoring data of the City's subwatersheds for 2005 and 2006, which have indicated bacteria and nutrient issues during dry weather at the Kittsondale subwatershed and others. CRWD's 2007 monitoring data will be provided to the City by June 1, 2008 but preliminary review of the data indicates similar pollutant issues as previous years. The annual report should provide information on the foilowing: 1) scope of the field screening program (i.e., locarion of screened sites and dates of screening); 2) results of field screening, and 3) information on hazardous spills or illegal disposals (a.e., number of complaints and the follow up measures and results). CRWD proposes that the City and the District work together to develop and conduct a comprehensive and coordinated effort for idenrifying and eliminating these pollutant sources. CRWD's Trout Brook Storm Sewer Interceptor receives a significant amount of the City's "Our mission zr to protect, manage, and improve the water resources of the Capitol Region Watershed District. " stormwater ruttoff, therefore, it makes economical and pracrical sense for us to collaborate to identify and eliminate iliicit dischazges and improper disposals from our interconnected storm sewer systems and meet our mutual regulatory requirements for illicit discharges. We are also committed to addressing illicit dischazges from the other subwatersheds in the watershed district. It shoutd also be noted that on page 10 of the report, the City states that "illegal dumping continues to be an increasing problem," which seems contradictory to the earlier claim that illicit dischazges and improper disposaIs aze not a significant probiem in the City of Saint Paul. CRWD requests that the City clarify tkis statement. Municipal Operations Sireets comprise a significant portion of the totat impervious surfaces in the City and can generate a large amount of the pollutant loads from its use and management. Regulazly sweeping the streets and cleaning catch basins to remove accumulate sediments, debris, and trash will reduce the amount of pollutants entering local waterbodies including the Mississippi River, which is impaired for turUidity and bacteria. --The Lake Pepin TMDL, which includes the Mississippi River ,wiIl be completed next year for excess nutrients. Proper use of these practices and others that reduce pollutant loadittg at the source rather than at the end-of-pipe will be vital to meetittg the TMDL's load reduction goals. Therefore, CRWD makes the following recommendations regarding these trvo good housekeeping practices. Catch Basin Cleanine Tn CRWD's comment memo for the City's 2006 Annual Report, CRWD raised concems about the City's caYch basin maintenance program including the low frequency of street sweeping and the as-needed basis schedule for catch basin cleaning, CRWD also looked for clarificarion on whick catch basins were cleaned annually and how many complaints were received. In addition, we recommended that the City reevaluate their s�eet management program and consider establishing a work group for this effort. Based on our review of the 2007 annual report, it appeazs that little or no changes have been made on this BMP activity. The City's schedule for catch basin cleaning is dictated by upcoming repair, ponding or plugging which resulted in less than 7% of the catch basins (1,784) cleaned in 2007. This is inadequate as removal of coarser sediment and other pollutants is most effective when the catch basins aze properly designed and routiuely maintaine@. Research indicates that catch basins are no longer effecrive at capturing sediments when the sump volume exceeds 50% (MN Stormwater Manual, 2005). CRWD recommends that the Ciry estab2ish a classificafion system for groups of catch basins, similaz to the system for street sweeping, to determine the schedule for cleauiug_ Factors to base the classification system on may include traffic voIume, associated land use, proximity to environmentally sensitive areas (i.e., rivers, lakes and wetlands), and overhead vegetation. AY a minimum, catch basins located within close proximity to environmentally sensitive azeas or prone to flooding should be cleaned on au annuat basis, white the remaining catch basins should be cleaned on a defined schedule, possibly every 24 months which is comparable to the cleaning schedules of similaz-sized cities. "Our mission is to protect, manage, and improve the water resources of the Capitol Region Watershed Districi. " ..+ 6 8 � ��9 It is unclear from the report whether or not the City maintains a database to track the invesrigation and maintenance of catch basins and other stormwater structurai controls, which should include inspection and maintenance dates, the amount of material removed, and the date of the cleaning. Keeping records can assist the City in refming its future maintenance efforts to deters�une the most effective cleaning schedule. It can also prolong the operarional efficiency and life span of these control s�uctures. CRWD would like the Ciry to provide data on how much sediment is removed from catch basin cleaning as we11 as the volume of stonnwater infiltrated from the 2Q07 RSVP projects that have maintenance agreements with CRWD and require yeaziy cleaning and documentation. Street Sweenin� CRWD commends the City for the high frequency level of sweeping on the Class I-A&B Downtown or Loop streets and Class II — Outlying Commercial and Arterial Streets. However the start date for sweeping on Class II streets should begin in March rather than Aprii when snowmelt typically first begins. The Met Council (2001) recommends that sweeping be conducted as early in spring as possible to capture sediment before it is washed away by spring rains. The Connecticut Department of Environmental Protecrion (2007) also suggests that municipalities conduct street sweeping as soon as possible after snowmelt before the sand on the road becomes abraded, rounded and finer and has other pollutants adhere to it. The City has purchased and is utilizing two regenerative air sweepers on the Downtown streets, whicb are more effective at removing finer sediment particles than mechanical sweepers. CRWD recommends that the City utilize this type of sweeper on Class II streets as well to significantly increase removal of soluble pollutants and fine road surface materials from these areas of significant pollution. High-efficiency street sweepers and associated operations may increase total solids removal from 30 to 70+°l0 (See Ramsey Washington Metro Watershed District Street Sweeping Study, 2005). The current sweeping schedule frequency for residential areas is insufficient in effectively reducing sediment loading from these streets. The Ramsey Washington Metro Watershed Aistrict recommends that municipalities clean their residentiai streets at a minimum frequency of six times per yeaz with an ideal frequency of nine rimes per yeaz. CRWD recommends that the City take an incremental step towards reaching the goal of sweeping residential areas six times per year by increasing the frequency for 2008 to four times per year. Comments for 2008 Annual Report CRWD has several outstanding questions about the City's stomlwater management activities and requests for additionai data that the City should address in next year's report. • How does the City of Saint Paul use monitoring data coilected by CRWD and provided to the City? • Include a map of the outfalls (this is a requirement for Phase II MS4s) • Include the 2007 outfall inspection and maintenance results (The 2006 outfall information is attached as an appendix.) • Include performance measure data for pond inspecrion and maintenance "Our mission is to protect, manage, and improve the water resources of the Capitol Region Watershed pistrict " • Consider adopting the policy recommendations of the Raznsey Washington Metro Watershed District street sweeping study into the City's street sweeping program. • The report discusses training for municipal employees on snow removal and control. Consider training for other municipal operations (i.e., lawn mowing, collecting leaves, vehicle washing, etc.) to prevent pollution. If it has been conducted already, include it in the annual report. • Briefly describe the City's requirements for fertilizer and pesticide applications and list when, where, why aad how much were used in 2007 Thauk you for this opportunity to comment on the City of Saiat Patil's Stormwater Management Activiries for 2007. Ws look fonvazd to working with you to further unprove water quality in our shared watershed. Please fee2 free to contact us with any quesrions or concerns.

" Summary of Public Comment and Response to Comments on the e8 �� City of Saint Paul's NPDES Stornz Water Permit Annual Report A Public Meeting held on May 19, 2008 at the City Hall Annex at 25 W. Founh Street. T{ze following people were in attendance at this meeting: Anna Eleria, Capitol Region Watershed District Bob Fossum, Capitol Region Watershed District Anne Hunt, Mayor's Office Phil Belfiori, City's Water Resource Coordinator Anne Weber, St. Paul Public Works Comments Anna Eleria and Bob Fossum commented on the report at the meeting and submitted a written comment letter on May 20, 2008. City of St. Paul's Response to Public Comment Thank you for you input on the City's Storm Water Permit Annual Report. We have seriously considered all comments received both at the meeting and in writing. The report, comments and response to comments will be submitted to the Saint Paul City Council to be adopted by resolution. This information will then be forwarded to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. The following is the response to Capitol Region Watershed District's (CRWD) written comments: IIlicit Discharges and Improper Disposal (IDDE) The City's extensive dry weather field screening program began with the original permit application in 1992. The application required the City to check for and test dry weather flow at 225 points. Over the last several years, the field screening was conducted in conjunction with the outfall and pond inspection program. Field screening results were reported in each of the previous year's annual reports and are available upon request. Based on the results of the City's IDDE program, the ten-yeaz sewer separation program and the ongoing sewer rehabilitation and maintenance programs, the City has determined that illicit discharges and improper disposal are not a significant problem in St. Paul. It is the City's priority to conrinue inspection of critical points within the system to investigate IDDE as required by the City's stormwater permit. The City's welcomes the opportunity to collaborate with CRWD to address IDDE. The description of illegal dumping on page 10 of the annual report is referring to physical dumping in pubiic areas, not dumping into catch basins. The Public Works Street Maintenance Division is responsible for cleaning up illegal dumping in the right-of-way. May 29, 2008 Page 2 of 2 Sh"E@t $WOCpiri� The City appreciates the aclrnowledgement from the CRWD relatec! to the sweeping of arterial streets and the downtown area, Ciry staff participates in the Ramsey-Wastrington Pubtic Works Fornm and participated in reviewing the street sweeping study. In addiuon, we have reviewed a more recent study conducted by Roger Bannerman with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, which clarifies the measurable affect of street sweeping in regards to water quality. At this 6me, the City plans to conrinue our cutrent residential sweeping program. We view the timing of our spring and fa11 sweeping as a criticai element of the program. The City evaluates a number of important factors in determining seasonal timing of sweeping including tree seeds snow and rainfall events and the timing of the leaves dropping in the fall. Catch Basin Cleanin� The City program includes vactoring all catch basin sumps prior to repair and when inspection of catch basin indicates that ponding or plugging has occurred. In 2007, the Ciry cleaned 1,784 catch basin sumps. All catch basin sumps and sump manholes installed deuing Yhe East Como Boulevard project are inspected annuatly and maintained as needed. In addition, all catch basin sumps, which are tributary to stormwater management facilities instalIed as required by watershed districts' rules, wilI be inspected annually and cleaned as required to maintain function pursuant to the maintenance agreement. With over 26,000 catch basins in our system, increasing the cleaning frequency would require additional equipment and stafF. It is estimated that if the City cleaned its catch basins on a two-year cycle as requested by the CRWD, the additional annual cost would be $1.4 million. The City will consider your recommendation to develop a catch basin cleaning cycle and will begin a discussion with maintenance staff in 2008. Comments for 2008 Annual Report Thank you for the suggestions on how to improve the 2008 Annual Report. These will be taken into consideration as we prepare the report for next yeaz. The City is excited about moving forward on implementation of a comprehensive approach to manage stormwater and protect water quality, while also balancing the needs of other critical service demands and economic realities. As pazt of this approach, the City will contenue to effectively implement programs as idenufied in the 2007 Annual Report at leveis at or above pernut requirements. The Ciry also looks forward to continuing its active partnership with CRWD on our mutual efforts and projects to protect waterresources. No other written or verbal comments were submitted to the City. If you have a questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

A total of 7 stormceptors, 3 sump manholes and 23 catch basin sumps were cleaned. These struchues will be inspected annually and cleaned based on accumulation. Arlington Pascal Stormwater Improvement Proiect The Cities of St. Paul, Roseville and Falcon Heights along with Ramsey County and the Capitoi Region Watershed District (CRWD} formed a partnership in 2003 to conduct an evaluarion of the Como 7 sub-watershed. The results of the evaluation provided a plan to reduce the frequency and duration of flooding in the watershed and at Midway Parkway, while improving water quality in Como Lake. The watershed district worked with the City of St. Paui Public Works Department to plan and design rainwater gazdens and infiltration trenches as part of the Arlington/Pascal Residenrial Street Vitality Program. In addifion to these improvements, the CRWD is working with the Division of Parks and Recreation to construct water quality improvements in Como Park. Conshucrion began in 2005 and was completed in 2007. 2007 RSVP Proiects The 2Q07 RSVP projects within the Capitol Region Watershed District and the Ramsey- Washington Metro Watershed Dish were required to meet the watershed district rules. These projects must infiltrate one inch of stormwater off of the projects impervious area and reduce total suspended solids by 90%. The City is also required to enter into a memorandum of agreement to provide adequate maintenance for the stormwater management facilities, which aze constructed as a part of these projects. St. Peter Rondo Storm Tunnel Rehabilitation The project consists of concrete tunnel liner milling, reinforced concrete liner repair, contact grouting between concrete lining and undisturbed sandrock, and crack sealing on the St. Peter/Rondo Storm Tunnel. Water Resource Coordinator Position The Deparhnents of Public Works and Safety and Inspections created a position ihat would support the implementation of the City's Local Surface Water Management Plan and municipal stormwater permit. This position is responsible for reviewing site plans and performing inspections, including sediment and erosion control enforcement on construction sites. The posirion was filled in December of 2007 with the new staff person starting work in 3anuary of 2008. 7 of 5? Street Management Program Responsible de_partment: Public Works Street Maintenance. Targeted Pollutants: Sediments, nutrients, oxygen-demanding substances, chiorides Performance Measures: Frequettcy of sweeping on each street type, quantity and breakdown of materials removed. Quanrity of deicing and anri-icing materials used. Permit Section: 2.8 ltoadways Street Sweep� and Maintenance Program The City of Saint Paul conducts a street and alley c2eaning progzam to promote the health and welfare of its cirizens and to reduce the amount of pollutants to receiving waters from stormwater dischazges. Streets and alleys aze divided into classes, each of which receives a different level of service as defined below: Class I-A & B Downtown or Loop streets Downtown or loop streets are within the following boundaries: Kellogg on the south, 12`�' on the north, Broadway on the east and Main ou the west. "These streets aze swept appro�cimately three times per week duriug the spring, sum�ner, fall and winter as weather ailows. Ail routine maintenance, inciuding patching and repairing of street surfaces, is performed on an as-needed basis. Class II- OnH}�ing Commercial and Arterial Streets Tbese streets, which have business or commercial properties fronting on them, aze tUe City's major arteries. They have fieavy volumes of both vehiculaz and pedestrian ttaffic. Typicai examples are: University, Snelfing, West 7'", East 7`�, Rice, Payne, Arcade, Suwmit and Grand. Class II streets are swept or cleaned fifteen to eighteen rimes annually on the following schedule: every two weeks in April, May, October, and November for spring and fall cleanup and every three weeks in June through September for litter, tree debris and sediment. Occasionai winter sweeping is also done. All rourine maintenance, includmg patching and repairing of street surfaces, is doae on a scheduled or as-needed basis. Class TII - Residential Streets In the spring, all residential-streets, including oiied, paved and intermediate streets, receive a thorough sweeping. Patching and repairing is done on a scheduled or as-needed basis. AlI existing paved and oiled streets aze on the 8-year cycle chip seallist. Approximately 12 miles of oiled streets and 60 miles of paved streets were chip sealed in 2006. Oil and sand sealing of oiled sTreets is no longer done. The City recycles reclaimed sand and seal rock These materials aze no longer hauled to tfie landfiIl. In the fall, streets aze swept for leaf pickup. All material swept up during the fa11 cleanup is hauled to a commercial composting facility. 8 of 57 68 � � ��1 Class IV - Oiled and Paved Alleys All oiled and paved alleys are swept during the late spring. All routine maintenance, inciuding patching and repairing of the alley surfaces, is performed on a scheduled or as-needed basis. All existing paved and oiled alleys aze on the 8-year cycle chip seal list. Oil and sand sealing of oiled alleys is no longer done. Class V and VI - Unimproved Streets and Alleys Unimproved streets and alleys aze right-of-ways that have not been developed. There aze approximately 50 miles of unimproved streets and approximately 288 unimproved assessed alleys in the City. Because they are City right-of-ways, the City has the responsibiliry to perform minimal repairs and maintenance work on them to make them passable and to reduce hazards. The maintenance and repair of these streets and alleys consists of patching, minor blading, and placing of crushed rock or other stabilized material. Street 5weeping 5weeping is a major operation for the Street Maintenance Division and is done every month of the year, day and night. El�in Pelican mechanical sweepers handle the vast majority of the sweeping. An Elgin Crosswind Regenerative air sweeper is urilized downtown. A second Crosswind was purchased in 2005 and is now in use. In recent years, the target date for complerion of spring sweeping has moved up from Memorial Day to May 15th. The primary material swept in the spring is debris from winter months. Fall sweeping is done during the last week of October and the first half of November. The fall sweep is timed so that a majority of the leaves aze down and enough time is ailowed to sweep ali St. Paul streets before the November snows. Currently, the wide variety of trees with varying leaf drop fimes makes it impossible to wait for ali of the leaves to drop. To compensate for this, touch up sweeping conrinues most years through November and early December. In the interest of continued improvement to our sweeping program, workers attend training and best management pracrices are implemented. In 2001, the sweepings collected from city streets and alleys were tested and found to be within EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) guidelines for recycling purposes after screening out waste and debris. Only 7 to 10% of swept up material is disposed of in a landfill. The foilowing table shows the volumes removed from City streets in 2006. 2007 Street Sweeping Quantities Class General Debris Leaves- Fall Cleaning Cubic Yards Cubic Yards I & II 4,332 3,458 III 3,156 14,644 IV 1,296 0 Totals 8,784 18,102 9 of 57 Street Maintenance has a Hazardous Waste Disposal Policy in place. Any hazardous materials collected from city streets aze disposed of in environmentally acceptable means. Street Maintenance also services over 320 trash receptacles and disposes of refuse from neighborbood cleanups each yeaz_ Illegal dumping contiaues to be an increasing problem. Ice Control Operafions Minnesota weather requires ice control from late September tlu early May. Frost fornung on bridge decks is usuatly the first and last ice control event of the winter season. Fmm eady November tluongh mid-April, the need for pavement treatment is detezmined by temperature and precipitation. Frequency of snow events through the winter season influences amounts of material used The City's foremost objective is to maintain safe roads for all users. The consequences of icy roads aze longer travel times, adverse economic impact, accidents and injuries. Salt is the primary material used to melt snow and ice. Salt is theorerically effecrive to -6°F but factors such as darkness, conrinuing snow, temperatures below 10°F or type and qvanrity ofprecipitafion a11 reduce melting performance. Sand is sometimes used in conjuncfion with salt to enhance traction; nsualIy when temperatnres aze below-10°F and snowfall amount_is likely to be greater than 3 inches. Specific application rates aze decided upon for each snow event and adjusted to the minimum amount necessary to aclueve the desired results. St. Paul has made use of alternative ice control products for tfie past ten yeazs. The best resuits have been with liquid magnesium chloride blends applied to selected bridge decks as anri-icing material to prevent bridge frost. One application of 15 gallons per lane mile eliminates frost formarion twice before needing re-applicarion. Our evolving plan currenfly is to spray 16 bridges in the City, when condirions are favorable for good performance. This progr�uu is reducing salt and sand/satt use. Another pmduct of significant interest is saIt treated with liquid magnesium chloride and agricultural byproducts. Potenrial benefits aze better melting performance, residual value, and reduction in amount of salt used. Safelane bridge deck surface h�eatment is being investegated. In 2007, the City's use of liquid products was put on hold because of too many instances of product causing unsafe conditions. The City is increasing the use of treated salt. Material Stora¢e Salt is covered year round to eliminate runoff. Mixed piles of sand and salt aze no longer stored in the open. Storage facilities are located at the following tocations: 873 N. Dale Street (Increased storage was added at this location in 2006.) 510 East Sth Street 310 SouYh Victoria Street Ice control materials used as of March 12, 2008 for the 2007-2008 Winter Season 17,600 tons salt 288 tons sand 0 gallons Magnesium Chtoride 3,850 tons treated salt 10 of 57 b$�7�/�J Employee TraininQ St. Paul Public Works is an advocate of nerivorking within the industry for informarion and regulazly attends events such as the American Public Works Associarion North American Snow Conference.

In November of 2007, the Minnesota Snow and Ice Control Handbook was distributed to all employees. One of our maintenance supervisors is among the first to have passed the environmentai certificarion for snow and ice control best pracrices. Pesticides and Fertilizers Responsible deparhnent: Public Works Sewer Utility and Parks and Recreation Tareeted Pollutants: Pesticides and nutrients Performance Measures Public educarion measures Permit Sections 2.10 Pesticides and Fertilizer Fertilizer Ordinance and Education The City will conrinue to coordinate with existing education efforts, such as WaterShed Partners, to develop and distribute educational pieces. The Public Education and Outreach section contains additional information on education efforts. Pesticide and Pertilizer Use on City Facilities The City bas strict requirements that are followed for applications on all City facilities. The Department of Public Works does not apply pesticides or fertilizers. All City prograzns far pesticide use shail be reviewed and approved by the city council prior to any application upon city properry. Each use of pesticide or fertilizer is documented and reported to the City Clerk and to the District Council in which the appiicarion occurred. City policy was developed upon the recommendarions of a report done by the City Council Investigation & Research Center in May of 1990. In addirion, a11 City staff that apply pesticides and fertilizers must be licensed in accordance the City Ordinance, which requires commeroial applicators to be licensed by the City. The City will continue to apply pesricides and fertilizer and document and report use in accordance with these requirements. i l of 57 Illicit Discharges and Improper Disposal Responsible Department: Public Works Targeted Pollutants: AII pollutants Performance Measures: Detecfion and enforcement measures, public education measures. Permit Secrions: 2.11 Illicit Discharges and Improper Disposal Non-stormwater Discharees The following non-stormwater @ischarges are not a significant sonrce of pollutants and no additional control measures are needed for these dischazges: • NPDES permitted non-stormwater dischazges • Water line flushing and other dischazges from potable water distriburion system • Landscape irrigation and lawn watering • Irrigation water • Diverted stream flows • Rising ground water • Foundation and footing drains • Water from basement sump pumps • Air condirioning condensarion . Sp� • Individual residential and fund raising caz washings • Fiows &om ripatian flabitats and wetiands • Swimming pool discharges • Flows from fire fighting Field ScreeningProgxam The field screening program was completed in 2004, which was one yeaz ahead of schedule. The permit requirement was to conduct the program throughout the entire city in a five-year period. The field screening inspecrion program was conducted in conjuncfion with the outfall and pond inspection program. Inspections are done during dry weather in order to determine if there is any non-stormwater dischazges in the storm sewer system. A LaMotte Storm Drain Pollurion Detecrion kit is used to test the samples. The kit includes tests for pH, phenols, chlorine, copper and detergents. The resuks of tius progam to date show tfie same conclusion reached in the dry weather fieid screening required for the pernut applicarion. Iliicit discharges and improper disposal are not a significant problem in the City of St. Pau1. A majority of the sites with flow are ctear water, such as ground water and lawn sprinkling water. Starting in 2005, the City continued to check for dry weather flow during the annual inspecrions of outfalls and ponds. The ongoing field screening program will be in conjunction with other inspecfion acrivities..

Pernrit Sections 2.1Q 2.11 2.13 Pesticides and Fertilizers Illicit Discharges and Improper Disposal Public Education Program Storm Drain Stenciling Educafion Proeram The City of Saint Paul has been conducring a successful storm drain stenciling education program since 1993. For the past several years the Friends of the Mississippi River (F"MR) has coordinated this program. FMR is the leading citizens' organization working to protect the Mississippi River and its watershed in the Twin Ciries area. The 2007 Stenciling Program Report and a copy of the door hanger aze provided in the Appendix. The storm-drain stencilin� uroiect is desi�ned to meet the foilowinn three obiecrives: • To stencil storm drains with the message "Please Don't Pollute Drains to River," and distribute multi-lingual educational door-hangers to residents and businesses in the stenciled neighborhoods within the City of Saint Paul. . To involve community residents in hands-on learning experiences about urban runoff pollution and ways to prevent it. • To facilitate school service learning initiarives that include storm drain stenciling as a key component. The 2008 pro�ram obiectives wi11 be implemented through the followin� activities: • Identify and organize approximately 1,200 students and other community volunteers to carry out 2,0�0 volunteer hours of wark on the program. Volunteers will stenci12,400 storm drains and distribute 8,000 educational door hangers within the City of St. Paul. • Provide a 30 to 60 minute educational orientation to each volunteer �oup that participates. • Provide educational programming and outreach on urban runoff pollution with volunteers, ciassrooms and other community members. • Coordinate 1 to 2litter clean-ups with school and /or community groups. • Present 3 to 4 community workshops on urban runoff pollution and ways to prevent it around the yard and home. • Present 2 community workshops and 1 tow on small site rain gardens. • Coardinate the purchase, maintenance and storage of all stenciling and workshop supplies. 13 of 57 The annual number of door hangers distributed, storm drains stenciled and volunteers involved in this program is found in the following table. The number of volunteers was not tracked every year of the program.

We can track the nuxnber of door hangers distributed, the number of storm drains stenciled and the nuxnber of volunteers involved. For each storm drain that is stenciled, the message is going out to the volunteers doing the project and the residents ia that azea. As the program develops, the emphasis is moving away from maximiziug the number of storm drains stenciled to educarion of the volunteers participating in the program. 14 of 57 �: 'J Metro WaterShed Partners Saint Paul has been an active Metro WaterShed Partners since 1997. Metro WaterShed Partners is an innovative, dynamic coalition of over 40 public, private and non-profit organizations in the Minneapolis(St. Pau1 metrogolitan area that, through collaborative educafional outreach, teaches residents how to care for area waters. This partnership has leveraged grant dollars and staff time to develop educationai literature and a nationally recognized interactive dispiay. The WaterShed er.hibit was at schoois and events in and azound Saint Paul in 2007. The WaterShed is also at the Minnesota State Fair in the Department of Natural Resources Building each year. The Partners staff it during this time. Metro Clean Water Campaign To assist cities with educational efforts, Metro WaterShed Partners is conducting the Metro Clean Water Campaign. This type of collaboration allows for the development of a consistent message, which is distributed cost effectively. A City of Saint Paul staff person is a member of this committee. The campaign was funded in 2006 with money raised from local units of govemment. St. Paul contributed $5,000 in 2007 and plans to contribute $5,000 in 2008. The 2007 report far the Metro Clean Water Campaign is found in the appendix. Storm Sewer Service Charge Mailinp Tn July of 2007, the "Green IIp your Lawn not Your Lakes and Rivers" brochwe was mailed out with the Storm Sewer Service Charge.

Annual Spring Parks Clean-Up and Nei�hborhood Litter Campai�n St. Paul Parks and Recreation hosts an Annual Spring Parks Ciean-Up every year during the month of April. The Ciry provides clean-up supplies, trash removal, recycling services and a "thank you" celebrarion. During this event volunteers remove litter from Saint PauPs Parks and Recreation Centers. Without the help of volunteers during the cleanup, trash accumulates in these natural areas hanning wildlife, polluting lakes and rivers and detracting from the beauty of our communiry. This event is a fun and effective way to improve the environment in our community. Waterfest The City of Saint Paul is a sponsor af Waterfest, which is a family festival put on each May at Lake Pbalen by the Kamsey-Washington Metro Watershed District. The Watershed District esrimates that 1000 people attend this free family festival. The Pazks Department assists in coordinating tbis event. The Public Works Deparhnent provides a street sweeper to be on display for this event. A flyer for the event is inciuded in the Appendix. 15 of 57 Coordination with Other Governmentat Entities Responsible department: Public Works Sewer Utility Tazgeted Pollutants: All pollutants Performance Measures: Report the ongoing coordinated activiries and stahas of cooperative efforts in each annual report. Pemut Sections 2.16 Coordination with Other Governmental Enrities As stated in each section of this report, the City of Saint Panl coordinates with many eatities in all aspects of managing stormwater. Each project, event or acfivity listed involves aumerous entities. By its nature, water does not follow poIifical boundaries therefore it is necessary to cooperate with other entities in order to effectively resolve these issues. The limited resources tkat are available must be used effrciently with minimal duplicarion of efforts. The main azea of coordinarion on these issues is with SainY Paul's watershed management organizarions. Saint Paul Loca1 Surface Water Management Plan The City of Saint Paul issued a request for proposals in April of 2004 to hire a consulring engineering firm to complete its Local Surface Water Management Plan. A consultaut was selected in May of 2004. This plan will be developed to meet the requirements of Minnesota Statue 103B.235 and Minnesota rules 8410.00160 and 8410.0170.

Adapted from a PSA produced by the Ciry of Austin, Texas, "Plop" features a fish bowl that becomes increasingly contaminated from different common stormwater pollutants. The final insult to the suffering goldfish is the anricipated addition of pet waste (although no fish were harmed in the making of this ad!): Curbside storm drains connect to our lakes and rivers. Ifyour car drips oil or antifreeze on the ground (pause) it washes into storm drains ... and into our lakes and rivers. If you spread lawn fertilizer into the street - or are not careful with yard and garden pestdcides (pause) they wash into storm drains too. And when you don't pick up after your pet (pause) well you get the picture. Cdeaner streets means cleaner water for all Mlnnesotans. Visit rovww-clean-water-m-n-doborg.

"Fowl Water" Rubber Duckv PSA - 30 seconds �_�- _ � Adapted from a PSA produced by the City of San Diego, California, the "Fowl Water" PSA uses a flock of rubber duckies to dramatize how stormwater pollutants move from our neighborhoods into our water. Voiced by outdoor journalist Ron Shaza, the PSA was produced and aired by Minnesota Water - Let's Keep it Clean in 2006 and now again in 2007. Ifstorm water pollution was simply rubber duckies, it wouldrr't matler what went down our storm drains. But it does. Because stornt water pollution is not rubber duckies. It's trash, 081, cigarette butts, and pet waste flowing untreated to the sea our lakes and rivers. That's not good for any of us. So take a minute for clean water - rake up, sweep up and pick up. Cleaner streets means cleaner water - for all Minnesotans. Visit www-clean-water-m-n-dot-org.

This is required as par[ of the licensing process for the department to obtain a stormwater discharge permit. The City is also required to have a public heazing, which occuned on May 19, 2008. The attached resolution would meet the MPCA's pemut requirements that the department publish this report. This proposal appears reasonable and I recommend signing.
