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 and Notice of Intent. 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. 18. Develop and implement Stormwater Project database for tracking construction/maintenance projects including; surveys, inspections, material procurement and staging and project milestones. PERFORMANCE MEASURES: Actual Estimate Proposed Performance Measures FY14/15 FY15/16 FY16/17 Number of Stormwater Brochure distributed to the General Public. 900 1,000 1,000 Number of public notice meetings 4 4 4 Number of Stormwater outfalls mapped 241 300 300 Number of stormwater related enforcement actions taken 35 40 40 Number of stormwater inspections 8 99 99 Number of illicit discharges identified 1 10 10 Number of illicit discharges eliminated 0 10 10 Number of inspections conducted 148 122 122 Number of complaints received 906 1,000 1,000 Percentage of complaints investigated 100% 100% 100% Document and report the number of staff trained. 32 40 40 Number of construction sites operation under the erosion and 75 75 75 sedimentation control requirements.
