BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OKALOOSA COUNTY, FLORIDA SERVICE AREA: TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT/PROGRAM: STORMWATER PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Stormwater Division of Public Works provides oversight of the Okaloosa County stormwater system and applicable regulatory requirements. This includes stormwater system construction, solutions to infrastructure failures, maintenance tasks, and storm recovery and restoration. Regualtory requirements include; • Development and implementation of Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs), • Collection and management of National Pollutant Discharge Elimiation System (NPDES) data • Evaluation and reporting of NPDES compliance activities • Administrative maintenance of the NPDES Permit and Notice of Intent • Development of future funding needs. Additionally, stormwater staff provides support services for the Public Works work order system (Cartegraph). REVENUE: Stormwater Division is funded within the County Transportation Trust Fund. Supporting revenue of the County Transportation Trust Fund (CTTF) is fuel taxes, intergovernmental revenue, charges for services, miscellaneous revenue and transfers. Supporting revenue of the CTTF are gas taxes and local option gas tax (LOGT), constitutional gas taxes (CGT) and federal and state shared revenue, state and federal grants, and an annual allocation of revenue from the general fund. Total funding for FY14 was $400,000 from all funding sources. Unexpended funding pledged in previous years has remained in the Stormwater budget as available cash which has provided funding to support operations and maintenance costs which now totals $800,000 per year. These funds are depleted to critical levels by ever increasing stormwater needs and operational costs.

This goal is to be accomplished utilizing the Best Management Practices defined in the County Notice of Intent within the regulatory framework set forth within the Okaloosa County NPDES permit. KEY OBJECTIVES: 1. Implement a public education program to distribute educational materials to the community. 2. Conduct equivalent outreach activities about the impacts of stormwater discharges on water bodies and the steps that the public can take to reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff. 3. Comply with State and local public notice requirements when implementing a public involvement/public participation program. 4. Develop and maintain a storm sewer system map, showing the location of all known outfalls and the names and location of all surface waters of the State that receive discharges from those outfalls. 5. To the extent allowable under State or local law, effectively prohibit through ordinance, or other regulatory mechanism, of non-stormwater (i.e., "illicit") discharges into the storm sewer system and implement appropriate enforcement procedures and actions. 6. Develop and implement a plan to detect and eliminate non-stormwater discharges, including illegal dumping, to the MS4. 7. Develop and implement, to the extent allowable under State or local law, an ordinance or other regulatory mechanism to require erosion and sediment controls, as well as sanctions to ensure compliance, to reduce pollutants in any stormwater runoff to the Phase II MS4 from construction activities. 8. Develop and implement requirements for construction site operators to implement appropriate erosion and sediment control best management practices. 9. Develop and implement requirements for construction site operators to control waste such as discarded building materials, concrete truck washout, chemicals, litter, and sanitary waste at the construction site that may cause adverse impacts to water quality. 10. Develop and implement procedures for site plan review that incorporate consideration of potential water quality impacts. 11. Develop and implement procedures for receipt and consideration of information submitted by the public. 12. Develop and implement procedures for site inspection and enforcement of control measures. 13. Use an ordinance or other regulatory mechanism, to the extent allowable under State or local law, to address from post-construction runoff from new development and redevelopment projects that are part of a larger common plan of development or sale, that discharge into the Phase II MS4. 14. Develop and implement strategies that include a combination of structural and/or non-structural best management practices (BMPs) appropriate for the community. 15. Require adequate long-term operation and maintenance of BMPs. 16. Develop and implement an operation and maintenance program that has the ultimate goal of preventing or reducing pollutant runoff from MS4 operator activities, such as park and open space maintenance, fleet and building maintenance, new construction and land disturbances, and stormwater system maintenance. 17. Using training materials that are available from regulatory agencies or other organizations, include employee training to prevent and reduce stormwater pollution from MS4 operator activities. PERFORMANCE MEASURES: Actual Actual Proposed Performance Measures FY12/ FY13/14 FY14/15 13 Number of Full-Time Equivalents (FTEs) 4 4 4 Number of Full-Time Equivalents (FTEs) Shared 9 9 9 Salaries & Operating Expenditures $724k $960k $899k Document and report the number of Stormwater Brochure for the NA 885 1,000 General Public distributed.
