PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT BRIEFING
Members of the Public Works Department provided a briefing
regarding the issue of a storm water quality program. The City
does not currently have such a program in place. Planning for
this is in line with and in anticipation of the final ruling from
the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System, (NPDES) ,
expected in August, 1990. The report names Salt Lake City as one
of the cities required to prepare the NPDES permit. Fines would
be assessed by the Environmental Protection Agency if the permit
were not sought, however, the need for this program is recognized
by the City in order to protect the urban environment.
The program addresses management and control of runoff, through
SPAA specialized drainage systems, to prevent detrimental
effects to the environment. The Department's plan includes
measures to meet the EPA requirements, the establishment of an
advisory board, and management of the permit application.
The cost to prepare Part One of the permit is $70, 000, and a
service level increase to hire an additional engineer technician
has also been requested.
The meeting was adjourned.
