• 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. At the conclusion of the 2017-18
fiscal year, City staff had completed seven (7) high priority, twenty-four (24)
medium priority, and twenty-one (21) low priority inspections.
o Commercial NPDES Inspections: This year, City staff is focusing on high,
medium, and low priority inspections. At the conclusion of the 2017-18 fiscal
year, City staff had completed eleven (11) high priority, fourteen (14) medium
priority, and twenty-one (21) low priority inspections.
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 146 properties that have a WQMP in place. Twelve (12)
WQMP's were approved during the 2017-18 fiscal year. There are six (6)
additional WQMP's under review by City Staff. Thirteen (13) inspections were
also completed at locations with established WQMPs.
