• Water Quality:
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) inspections are separated
into categories based on a business' use, and the intensity each use has on water
quality. The two (2) categories are industrial and commercial and are separated into
high, medium, and low priority. Each year, City staff conducts inspections based on
the priority of a project.
o Industrial NPDES Inspections: During the 2017-18 fiscal year, City staff is
focusing on high and low priority inspections. Staff anticipates completing nine
(9) high priority and fifty-five (55) low priority inspections for this fiscal year.
Nineteen (19) low priority and three (3) medium priority inspections have been
completed thus far.
o Commercial NPDES Inspections: This year, City staff is focusing on high,
medium, and low priority inspections. Staff anticipates completing eleven (11)
high priority, one (1) medium priority, and eleven (11) low priority inspections
for the 2017-18 fiscal year. Thirty-five (35) low priority inspections have been
completed thus far.
The goal of the Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) is to develop and implement
practical programs and policies to minimize the effects of urbanization on site
hydrology, urban runoff flow rates or velocities, and pollutant loads. Developers are
required to submit a WQMP for any new development or significant redevelopment
which increases the impervious surface of a developed site. The WQMP is required
to include Best Management Practices (BMPs) for source control, pollution prevention,
and/or structural treatment BMPs.
o WQMP's: There are 145 properties that have a WQMP in -place. Eight (8)
WQMP's have been approved thus far this fiscal year. There are seven (7)
additional WQMP's under review by City Staff.
