SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS: Presentation of the Storm Water Management Program and Plan (City Engineer Brandon Jones) City Engineer Brandon Jones presented The Annual Storm Water Training for City Council. He also explained that a Storm Water Management Program Plan (SWMP) has been proposed for consideration by the City Council, which is a “written plan that is used to describe the various control measures and activities the Permittee will undertake to implement the storm water management plan.” He said that the plan is required by the EPA and provides guidance and measurable goals. He also said that the annual training is required for all who deal with storm water issues in the City. A copy of the proposed plan had been distributed to City Council members. He reviewed the definitions of many words used in the proposed plan including: Minimum Control Measure (MCM), Best Management Practices (BMPs), Permittee/MS4 and Waters of the State – snowpack, reservoirs, streams, rivers, ponds, groundwater and the Great Salt Lake. He focused his presentation on the six Minimum Control Measures (MCMs) and explained that each MCM section contains tasks, goals, deadlines and action items. The six MCMs include: 1. Public Education and Outreach 2. Public Involvement and Participation 3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination 4. Construction Site Storm Water Runoff Control 5. Long-Term Storm Water Management in New Development and Redevelopment 6. Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping City Engineer Brandon Jones also highlighted Ted Perry who was in attendance and is responsible for all the City’s storm water issues as well as keeping the City’s website page on storm water up to date. He concluded by observing that the SWMP is a comprehensive plan that covers all facets of the City’s storm water program. He also reminded the City Council that it requires their involvement as well as the public works and the residents. Implementation requires time and manpower, both initially and on-going. City Engineer Brandon Jones addressed questions from the City Council about the proposed plan and reminded them as they move forward and come across a need in the budget for storm control measures – they will understand why.

Fruit Heights City Engineer CC: Ted Parry – Fruit Heights City Storm Water Superintendent Darren Frandsen – Fruit Heights City Public Works Director RE: STORM WATER PRESENTATION Date: March 1, 2022 ______________________________________________________________________________ As of 2002 municipalities in Davis County became classified as Small MS4s (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems). As Small MS4s each city is required to comply with UPDES (Utah Pollution Discharge Elimination System) General Permit requirements. On May 12, 2021, the new General Permit became effective. The new permit, among other things, requires that MS4s create a new Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP). This plan has been created, and a general overview of the plan will be presented to the City Council. Due to the many complexities of creating, implementing, and maintaining the SWMP and the overall storm water program in compliance with the regulations, it was felt that it would be beneficial to give a presentation on the program to the City Council. The purpose of the presentation is to: 1) educate the City Council and the public about the general tenants of the storm water program, 2) inform the City Council and the public on how Fruit Heights is striving to meet the requirements of the permit, and 3) help the City Council understand the funding needs to administer the program. 6080 Fashion Point Drive ● South Ogden, Utah 84403 ● (801) 476-9767 ● www.jonescivil.com CONSULTING ENGINEERS MEMORANDUM TO: Fruit Heights City Mayor and Council FROM: Brandon K.

One of the requirements of the SWMP is certification from the city that the SWMP was prepared under their direction, by qualified personnel, and that the information “to the best of their knowledge” is true, accurate, and complete. For this purpose, on March 1, 2022, Jones & Associates will make a presentation on the Storm Water Program to the entire City Council. The presentation will cover an overview of the Storm Water Program including addressing all 6 Minimum Control Measures (MCM’s) required in the SWMP. The purpose of the SWMP coming before the City Council is to officially adopt the plan by resolution and authorize Darren (Public Works Director) to sign the Certification (see Section 8). SWMP SUMMARY The SWMP is made up of 8 sections. The sections covering the MCM’s (sections 2 – 7) each contain the following subsections, a) Fruit Heights’s Plan to Meet the Requirements of the Permit, b) Areas of Focus, and c) Specific Goals with Methods of Evaluation. 1. Introduction. This section covers an overview of the purpose and general requirements of the storm water permit and program. It lists the main point of contact, Ted Parry. It also includes tables that address deadlines and inspection requirements. 2. MCM 1 – Public Education and Outreach on Stormwater Impacts.

This section covers the city’s program to prevent contamination of surface water and groundwater by monitoring, tracking, and removing non-stormwater discharges into the stormwater drainage system. One of the goals of this section is to develop a database of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for inspections, spills, illicit discharges, and connections. This will be completed by this coming July 2022. The city will also inspect 33% of their stormwater outfalls on an annual basis. 5. MCM 4 – Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control. This section covers how the city reviews plans, inspects construction sites and ensures that effective Best Management Practices (BMP’s) are designed, in place and maintained by those responsible for the construction activities (which includes the city themselves for all projects that disturb more than an acre of ground). 6. MCM 5 – Long-Term Stormwater Management. This section covers how the city reviews the design, implementation, and maintenance of permanent BMP’s. It also covers the design and use Low Impact Development (LID) principles and practices. 7. MCM 6 – Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations. This section covers stormwater pollution prevention for city owned and/or operated facilities. One of the goals of this section is to create SOP’s for all facilities by July 2023. 8. Certification.
