CITY OF SARTELL
PUBLIC HEARING
NPDES PHASE II PERMIT AND
STORM-WATER POLLUTION-PREVENTION PLAN
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN: That the city of Sartell will hold a public hearing at 7 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, on Monday, July 9, 2014 at the Sartell City Hall, for the purpose of implementing the NPDES Phase II permit and review the storm-water pollution-prevention plan.
The National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II program is a federally mandated program established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to implement and maintain stormwater management activities through a permitting mechanism in the City of Sartell. The permit requires the City to incorporate six minimum-control measures into a storm-water pollution-prevention plan (SWPPP), which also needs to be updated on a yearly basis. Those six control measures include: Public Education and Outreach, Public Participation/Involvement, Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination, Construction Site Runoff Control, Post-Construction Runoff Control, and Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping. These measures are expected to result in significant reductions of pollutants discharged into receiving water bodies. The City is required to hold a public hearing to gain input on the SWPPP as part of the public participation and involvement control measure.
All interested persons are invited to attend to voice their opinion. Written comments will be accepted until the date of the hearing. Anyone wishing to view the SWPPP may do so at Sartell City Hall, 125 Pinecone Road N, Sartell MN 56377.
