i) City Facilities
All City facilities are operated according to written good housekeeping procedures by the managing
department to prevent pollutants from entering the MS4.
High Priority Municipal Facilities are those City facilities that do not require a separate VPDES
industrial stormwater permit where materials/equipment are stored, cleaned, or maintained
outdoors, and where resulting pollutants could be mobilized in stormwater. SWPPPs have been
developed and implemented for all such facilities; annual comprehensive site evaluations are
conducted by Engineering Environmental Services Division staff with staff from each facility.
Storm drain medallions are maintained on all stormwater inlets at High Priority Municipal Facilities
and on City properties with greater than 2 acres of impervious surface. The medallions are used as
educational markers to help educate and remind City staff about the importance of preventing
stormwater pollution in order to protect local waterways.
Reporting
➢ Each annual report shall include a list of all high priority municipal facilities and those with a high
potential to discharge pollutants as identified in Part I.B.2.i)3)(a). (ONGOING)
j) Public Education/Participation
The City implements a public education program with the goal of increasing stormwater knowledge
and changing behaviors to result in stormwater pollutant reductions; this is accomplished through a
combination of regional and local initiatives.Jump to an indexed page (19 of 19)
