Review City of Elko Stormwater Permit - A review of ongoing enforcement of the City of Elko's MS4 Permit, and projects associated with the MS4 Permit, and matters related thereto. DISCUSSION ITEM Member Kursten Sirotek reported they were still under the administrative continuance of their last MS4 permit. She said they had received from the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) an updated permit, and they had submitted their comments back to them. She said they were still in the process of finding out what will be in the new permit, and she may have updates at the next quarterly meeting. Mr. Algerio asked Ms. Sirotek if she was actively checking the permits that were out there for enforcement purposes. He added he didn’t know which contractor’s permits were still active, but for example at the end of Khoury Lane they still had coverings over the drain inlets. Ms. Sirotek responded that even if they do not have a permit, they can still reach out to them if they see an issue. She noted she monitors those general construction permits through the NDEP site. She said she did not believe Khoury Lane was still covered under that permit, but she was sure they could still reach out about the storm drains or any other issues they see. Mr. Algerio said he would make a list of issues as he finds them and give them to Ms. Sirotek. VII. REPORTS Ms. Sirotek reported they saw approximately 370 5th grade students for the stormwater model education presentation they held in Lamoille Canyon from May 19th to the 22nd. She added all of the kids had a lot of fun with it and learned a lot. Mr. Algerio asked how that compared to previous years. Ms. Sirotek answered she thought the numbers were pretty comparable from year to year since they had the same number of classes every year. Mr. Algerio asked if it was the same thing every day or did the same classes come back every day. Ms. Sirotek responded they saw three different classes per day split into eight different groups to move around different stations that were set up. They did the same presentation over and over to different students. VIII. SET NEXT MEETING DATE The next meeting was scheduled for August 26th, 2025, at 3:00 PM.
