ACCEPTANCE OF MINUTES OF COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF FEBRURAY 11, 2003 CITIZENS TO BE HEARD NATIONAL POLLUANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM (NPDES) PHASE II The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has promulgated rules requiring municipalities like Mount Prospect to develop a program designed to reduce the quantity of pollutants picked up by storm sewers and discharged to waterways during storm events. Some common waterway pollutants include oil and grease from roadways, pesticides from lawns, sediment from construction sites, and litter. The Village operates approximately 90 miles of storm sewers. These sewers primarily drain areas of the Village developed after 1960. The Village's storm sewers discharge to the Des Plaines River, McDonald Creek, Feehanville Creek, Weller Creek, and Higgins Creek. Each creek ultimately outflows to the Des Plaines River. Working through the local governing agency, (Illinois Environmental Protectioin Agency, IEPA), Mount Prospect is required to develop a storm water management program covering six (6) specific control measures, along with best management practices to ensure the success of each measure. The program design must be submitted to the IEPA by March 10, 2003. While most of the measures can be achieved at little or no cost, others will require substantial future expenditures to achieve full compliance. Public Works staff will review the proposed program and related costs as well as answer questions.
