The purpose of the SMPP is to meet the minimum standards required by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II program. Federal regulations through the USEPA require that all Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems(MS4s),partially or fully in urbanized areas based on the 2000 census, obtain stormwater permits for their discharges into receiving waters. The SMPP describes the procedures and practices that can be implemented by the City toward the goal of reducing the discharge of pollutants within stormwater runoff in order to comply with Federal standards. The SMPP is applicable to all properties within city limits. Compliance with the plan is intended to protect water quality and contribute to the following amenities: • cleaner lakes and streams, • improved recreational opportunities and tourism, • flood damage reduction, • better aesthetics and wildlife habitat, and • a safer and healthier environment for the citizens. 1.2 State & Federal Regulations Federal environmental regulations based on the 1972 Clean Water Act (CWA) require that MS4s, construction sites and industrial activities control polluted stormwater runoff from entering receiving bodies of water (including navigable streams and lakes). The NPDES permit process regulates the discharge from these sources based on amendments to CWA in 1987 and the subsequent 1990 and 1999 regulations by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). In Illinois, the USEPA has delegated administration of the Federal NDPES program to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA). On December 20, 1999 the IEPA issued a general NPDES Phase II permit for all MS4s. Under the General ILR 40 Permit each MS4 was required to submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) declaring compliance with the conditions of the permit by March 10, 2003. The original NOI describes the proposed activities and best management practices that occurred over the original 5-year period toward the ultimate goal of developing a compliant SMPP. At the end of the 5d' year (March 1, 2008) the components of the SMPP were required to be implemented; per the ILR40 permit. The IEPA reissued the ILR 40 permit on April 1, 2009. The reissued permit is included in Appendix 5.10. Additionally,under the General ILR10 permit also administered IEPA, all construction projects that disturb greater than 1 acre of total land area are required to obtain an NPDES permit from IEPA prior to the start of construction. Municipalities covered by the General ILR40 permit are automatically covered under ILR10 30 days after the IEPA receives the NOI from the municipality. 1 On February 10, 2016 the IEPA released a new General NPDES Permit for Discharges from Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems effective March 10, 2016 thru February 28, 2021. Changes to the permit requirements with the newly issued permit prompted the 2017 revision to the United City of Yorkville Stormwater Management Plan. In addition, this revision captures changes that were implemented through the City's 2013 Annual Report. 1.3 Organization of SMPP The SMPP identifies best management practices to be implemented in six different categories. These categories are: • Public Education and Outreach • Public Participation/Involvement • Construction Site Runoff Control • Post-Construction Runoff Control • Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination • Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping Chapter 1: Overview of the Stormwater Management Program Plan - discusses the format of the SMPP document and the regulations associated with NPDES II through state and federal agencies. Chapter 2: Program Management - discusses the logistics of the plan. This includes the organization, implementation and responsible parties necessary to achieve overall compliance with the SMPP and NPDES Permit. It also identifies how the United City of Yorkville coordinates with other governmental agencies and discusses the legal authority that the MS4s have to implement the plan components. Chapter 3: The Program - addresses stormwater pollutant control measures implemented by the United City of Yorkville per the six minimum control categories established by the USEPA. Chapter 4: Monitoring, Program Evaluation and Reporting - describes the monitoring, evaluation and reporting procedures associated with the program. The SMPP is a guide created to protect United City of Yorkville receiving waters from pollution and resultant degradation. This chapter assists in identifying best management practices and processes that may require modifications in the future to help the document become an effective tool. Chapter 5: Appendices—including forms,references, and exhibits. 1.4 Watersheds and Receiving Waters The United City of Yorkville is primarily located within the Fox River watershed, with southern areas tributary to the Illinois River. There are several receiving waters tributary to the Fox and Illinois Rivers which are located within the Village. These streams include Blackberry Creek, Rob 2 Roy Creek, and Aux Sable Creek. Ponds, intermittent streams, and other on-stream bodies of water are also considered part of the receiving water system. Watershed: The land area that contributes stormwater to one of the two major rivers draining Kendall County. Sub-Watershed: The land area that contributes stormwater to one of the receiving waters tributary to a major river. Receiving Water: A natural or man-made system into which stormwater or treated wastewater is discharged, including the Fox River, Illinois River, and their tributaries. The major Watersheds and receiving waters are presented on Figure 1 Map of Major Sub-watershed and Receiving Waters. Fox River Watershed The Fox River originates about 15 miles northwest of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The river enters the northeast corner of Kendall County at Montgomery. About 165 square miles of Kendall County drain to the Fox River. Major tributaries to the Fox River in Kendall County include Blackberry Creek, Rob Roy Creek, Big Rock Creek, Little Rock Creek, Morgan Creek, Hollenback Creek, and Roods Creek. Only Blackberry Creek, Rob Roy Creek, and Hollenback Creek are located within the current city limits. The watersheds of the creeks within the city are primarily agricultural, although significant development activity has occurred in the Blackberry Creek and Rob Roy Creek watersheds since 2000. The Fox River watershed includes all or portions of the communities of Aurora, Millbrook, Millington,Montgomery,Newark, Oswego,Plano, Sandwich, and Yorkville. Illinois River Watershed The Illinois River originates at the confluence of the Des Plaines and Kankakee Rivers in Grundy County, about 10 miles southwest of Joliet, Illinois. About 155 square miles of Kendall County drain to the Illinois River. The Illinois River does not run directly through Kendall County, but reaches into the county via Aux Sable Creek and Valley Run Creek. Only the Middle Branch of the Aux Sable Creek is located within the current city limits. The Middle Branch Aux Sable Creek is primarily agricultural, although some development activity has occurred since 2000. The Illinois River watershed includes all or portions of the communities of Joliet, Lisbon, Minooka Plattville, Plainfield, and Yorkville. 3 Faa _ t--- 30 —- Creak -- Blackt� 34 I -c S� 34 c k w el GrteM 71 Grteab . 7 fr: dic 4a6 �., f ftp mIL iff r � J° / r'.% "'r !'.`} � l,�.7p{�/ f T`''1rJr'! ,•'i'f,r r' xAr / ✓ Y f f ff '. f �I ,? *�Y'i'' f{" f' t' ,`r Jf /'•f �:� ' r`:��'�� �:• f,f '� {'.�'�l ,�f,! f� f'r ':'�`` .,�'�'`.� f�'�a Kendall Countv 0 ' 25 2.5 5 Watersheds Miles uaaw uy a m► t ms Figure 1. Map of Major Sub-Watersheds and Receiving Waters 4 2 Program Management This Chapter describes the organizational structures of the United City of Yorkville and the Illinois EPA. It further discusses the roles and responsibilities of the involved parties. 2.1 Implementation of this SMPP The SMPP includes tasks that are required to meet the permit conditions under the NPDES II program and how to perform these tasks. These forms should be printed annually and the progress of all tasks tracked. At the end of the yearly reporting period (March 1 — February 28/29) the forms should be filed in a binder to document SMPP related activities to IEPA in the case of an audit. It is anticipated that implementation of this SMPP constitutes compliance with the program. The SMPP will be posted on the United City of Yorkville's website. The measurable goals will be evaluated and modified to maintain compliance with General Permit each year during the preparation of the Annual Report to IEPA due on June 1St of each year. 2.2 Departmental Responsibilities The City Council is the policy and budget setting authority for United City of Yorkville. The Engineering, Community Development, and Public Works Departments work together to implement this SMPP. The City Engineer has primary responsibility for managing the overall program. The city will also work with Kendall County and adjacent municipalities regarding stormwater issues. The Community Development Department is designated as the primary entity responsible for performing the duties related to Public Education and Outreach and Public Participation and Involvement. Much of this work will be achieved through coordination with the Green Committee. The Engineering Department is designated as the primary entity responsible for performing the duties related to Construction Site Runoff Control, Post-Construction Runoff Control, and Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination activities. The Building Department will assist as necessary by performing certain duties during the construction of private developments. The Public Works Department is designated as the primary entity responsible for performing the duties related to Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping. Measurable goals are established to document the efforts performed by the various city departments and ultimately the effectiveness of the SMPP. Those departments responsible for implementation of the SMPP shall perform, record, and forward monthly report memos to the City Engineer regarding their individual areas of responsibility. The report memos shall be prepared and forwarded during the first week of the following month. The City Engineer shall use these reports in preparing the annual report to the Illinois EPA. 5 2.3 Coordination with the IEPA The United City of Yorkville is required to complete annual reports which describe the status of compliance with the ILR40 permit. The annual report will be posted on the City's website and submitted to the IEPA by the first day of June each year. Annual reporting to IEPA should include information regarding SMPP goals that are in compliance as well as those goals that need further work or modification. Records regarding the completion and progress of the SMPP commitments will be documented on task sheets and updated throughout the year. The completed task sheets should be located in a binder with necessary supporting documentation. The binder will be available for inspection by both IEPA and the general public. 6 3 The Program This Stormwater Management Program Plan includes six components, each of which is necessary to reduce/eliminate stormwater pollution in receiving water bodies. These are: • Public Education and Outreach • Public Participation and Involvement • Construction Site Runoff Control • Post-Construction Runoff Control • Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination • Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping 3.1 Public Education and Outreach City staff at the United City of Yorkville is responsible for providing research and advice as well as making recommendations to the City Council on environmental issues facing the community. City staff should also promulgate information related to recycling, conservation design, soil conservation, rain gardens, open space/watershed protection, water conservation, landscape maintenance, etc. through environmental fairs, pamphlet distribution, and the city website. The annual NPDES permit report shall be placed on a City Council agenda once each year for discussion. 3.1A Measurable Goals • Place Stormwater Management Program Plan on the city's website. • Maintain an information center at City Hall, which will include informational items regarding stormwater-related issues. Review and update materials as necessary to maintain compliance with Permit requirements. 3.2 Public Participation and Involvement City staff should encourage citizen participation and involvement for stormwater-related issues on both individual and community levels. Citizen calls related to the Stormwater Management Program Plan shall be documented and directed to the appropriate department for follow-up. 3.2A Measurable Goals • Document the number and type of calls received from the public regarding potential illicit discharges. 7 • Sponsor an annual environmental fair, and document the number and type of exhibitors and public attendance. • Hold one public meeting per year to allow public input on the City's Stormwater Management Program • Identify if there are areas meeting the Environmental Justice Area criteria within the City 3.3 Construction Site Runoff Control The City adopted Ordinance No.2003-19 (Appendix 5.1) to regulate soil erosion and sediment control practices for construction activities that disturb more than 10,000 SF of soil. This ordinance requires the following: • Requires the developer/contractor to follow Illinois EPA requirements regarding NPDES permitting for construction activities. • Issuance of a Site Development Permit regulating earthwork and erosion/sediment control. • Contractor requirements for periodic inspections during construction. • Surety bonding to ensure that stabilization work is completed according to plan. The City passed Resolution No. 2004-39 (Appendix 5.2) to establish the Standard Specifications for Improvements. This resolution creates standards regarding the various aspects of construction for public and quasi-public infrastructure, including responsible construction activities. Regarding stormwater management,this resolution requires: • Sizing requirements for stormwater collection and detention facilities. • A soil erosion and sediment control plan. • The ability to require stormwater best management practices in the design of the stormwater collection and storage systems. The City passed Ordinance No. 2008-01 (Appendix 5.3) to provide Wetland Protection Regulations for Water Quality and Stornwater Management Benefits. This ordinance creates requirements for the evaluation and protection of non jurisdictional wetlands within city limits that may be affected by new development. 3.3A Complaints Site design comments are handled on a case by case basis.Any complaints received during the review, construction, or build-out of a private development shall be directed to the City Engineer and documented. Construction and build-out related calls are typically addressed by performing a site inspection. 8 3.3B Violation Notification Procedures Investigation of complaints should be performed within one business day of receipt of the complaint. In general, the compliance due date should be within 5-working days. However, if the city determines that the violation is or will result in significant environmental, health or safety hazards a 24-hour compliance requirement should be set. For such time-critical violations, the developer should also be advised to complete a Notice of Incidence report with the IEPA for all sites that were required to submit a Notice of Intent to the IEPA. Step 1 can be initiated by observation of a violation during a routine inspection, or in response to a complaint. Step 1: Violation Is Observed • The inspector completes the NPDESIErosion Control Inspection Report (Appendix 5.11). • Photographs of the violation(s) should be taken and saved. • The development project manager/property owner (a.k.a. construction site contact) shall be informed of the violation. • A copy of the NPDESIErosion Control Inspection Report is provided to the contractor and the developer. The NPDESIErosion Control Inspection Report indicates the deficiencies and a maximum time frame for action. • At the end of the indicated time frame the City shall perform a follow-up site inspection. Step 2: 1"Follow-Up Site Inspection The construction site contact shall be notified of the anticipated inspection time. The site shall be inspected including all items previously documented on the previous NPDESIErosion Control Inspection Report. The inspector will determine if the remedial measures have all been satisfactorily addressed, substantially completed, or if significant non-compliance remains. • If the remedial measures have been satisfactorily addressed, then the NPDESIErosion Control Inspection Report is filled out indicating compliance and provided to the contractor and developer. • If the inspector determines that the remedial measures have been substantially completed,but not entirely resolved,the inspector shall follow Step 1 above. • If the inspector determines that the remedial measures have not been substantially completed, the inspector shall follow Step 3 discussed below. Photographs of the violations should be taken and saved. 9 Sten 3: 1"Notice of Violation A formal Notice of Violation (Appendix 5.12) letter will be sent to the contractor and developer. A copy of the Notice of Violation shall also be provided to the Yorkville Building Department. The letter will include the following information: • Description of the violations(including ordinance provisions) • Maximum time frame for resolution(typically 5 working days), Sten 4: 2"Follow-Up Site Inspection The inspector will determine if the remedial measures have all been satisfactorily addressed, substantially completed, or if significant non-compliance remains. • If the remedial measures have been satisfactorily addressed, then the NPDES/Erosion Control Inspection Report shall be filled out indicating compliance and provided to the contractor and developer. • If the inspector determines that the remedial measures have been substantially completed,but not entirely resolved,the inspector shall follow Step 1 above. • If the inspector determines that the remedial measures have not been substantially completed, the inspector shall follow Step 5 discussed below. Photographs of the violations should be taken. Step 5: 2°d Notice of Violation • Depending on the severity of the outstanding violations the inspector may arrange for the Building Department to issue a Red Tag and a Conditional Stop Work Order upon completion of the inspection. The Stop Work Order allows for the resolution of the violation but no other on-site improvements. Building and/or Occupancy Permits will not be issued and surety/letter of credit reductions will not be considered until the violation is resolved. A formal Notice of Violation letter will be sent, via certified mail, to the contractor and developer. A copy of the Notice of Violation shall also be provided to the Yorkville Building Department. Step 6:3'Follow-Up Site Inspection The inspector will determine if the remedial measures have all been satisfactorily addressed, substantially completed, or if significant non-compliance remains. • If the remedial measures have been satisfactorily addressed, then the NPDESIErosion Control Inspection Report is filled out indicating compliance and provided to the contractor and developer. • If the inspector determines that the remedial measures have been substantially completed,but not entirely resolved,the inspector shall follow Step 1 above. • If the inspector determines that the remedial measures have not been substantially completed, the inspector shall follow Step 7 discussed below. Photographs of the violations should be taken and saved. 10 Step 7:311 Notice of Violation The inspector issues a Red Tag and a Conditional Stop Work Order upon completion of the inspection, if one has not already been issued. The Stop Work Order allows for the resolution of the violation but no other on-site improvements. Building and/or Occupancy Permits will not be issued and surety/letter of credit reductions will not be considered or processed until the violation is resolved. Representatives from the Building and Engineering Departments shall meet to discuss the violation and subsequent actions. These actions may include: issuing fines for each day of violation since the 1St notice of violation; draw from surety to enable the City to have the remedial measures corrected; seeking United City of Yorkville legal counsel and pursuing injunctive or other legal relief. A formal Notice of Violation letter will be sent, via certified mail, to the contractor and developer. A copy of the Notice of Violation shall also be provided to the Building Department and City Administrator. The letter will also include additional penalties or measures that will be imposed if the violation(s)persist. Steps 6 and 7 will be repeated until resolution of the violation. 3.3C Measurable Goals • Track the number of site development permits issued. • Document any citizen complaints regarding construction site runoff and follow-up activities. • Inspect construction sites for erosion/sediment control measures and record inspection on NPDES/Erosion Control Inspection Report forms. 3.4 Post Construction Runoff Control The City adopted Ordinance No. 2009-78 (Appendix 5.4) to establish standards for design, construction, and maintenance of stonnwater best management practices. This ordinance requires the following: • All development/redevelopment projects shall incorporate stormwater Best Management Practices(BMP's) into their site designs. • Agreements providing for the adequate maintenance of the stormwater BMP's by the developer/property owner. • Periodic inspections and meetings with property owners by the city to ensure proper functioning of the stormwater Bumps. The City will inspect stormwater outfalls, on existing properties with stormwater management facilities, on a priority and as needed basis. The inspections schedule should allow for inspection of priority outfalls on a regular basis. Detention basins will be inspected on an as requested basis. 11 3.4A Long Term Operation and Maintenance The SMPP includes two long term maintenance agreements. • The first agreement (Appendix 5.13) is the recommended plan for existing detention and stormwater management facilities, whether publicly or privately maintained. The intent of this sample plan is to provide guidance for the maintenance of facilities that do not have an approved plan. If an existing facility already has an adequate plan, this document would supersede the sample plan. • The second agreement (Appendix 5.14) is provided to applicants during the permit review period for new detention and stormwater management facilities. This agreement should be reviewed and enhanced to reflect the specific design of the new development. Receipt of the signed and recorded maintenance agreement is required. Receipt of the signed and recorded maintenance agreement is required prior to recording of a plat of subdivision, site development permit, or building permit for the property, whichever occurs first. 3.413 Site Inspections This section focuses on post-construction inspections of previously developed sites, streambanks, shorelines, streambeds, and detention/retention ponds. Previously Developed Sites The United City of Yorkville will inspect outfalls for existing properties with stormwater management facilities on an as needed and priority basis. Previously developed properties that are still to be inspected should be inspected with respect to the approved development plan. A letter indicating the maintenance activity highlights, deficiencies, or modifications to the plan should be provided to the responsible party. The responsible party is encouraged to implement an annual maintenance program. Shorelines The City will inspect detention basin shorelines on an as needed and priority basis. They should, however, inspect all reported detention basins by using the Stormwater Basin Annual Inspection Report (Appendix 5.15). Observed erosion, seeding/re-seeding or slope stabilization needs should be documented. Documented deficiencies should be reported to the City Engineer who evaluates and determines appropriate remedial activities. Remedial actions might include notifying the property owner or including maintenance activities in the city's work program for city-maintained basins. Streambanks and Stream Bed Sediment Accumulation The City will inspect receiving water streambanks for erosion and flowlines for sediment plumes/deposits on an as needed and priority basis. Inspections should be performed in the spring or fall depending upon weather conditions. Stream locations are depicted on Figure 1. Document observed erosion and/or sediment accumulation. Documented 12 deficiencies should be reported to City Engineer who evaluates and determines appropriate remedial activities. Remedial actions would typically consist of notifying the property owner. Detention/Retention Pond Sediment Accumulation Ensure that new detention/retention pond is constructed per the approved development plan. The developer is responsible for ensuring that the design grade is established prior to the city's approval of the pond. Pond information, including the design permanent pool depth, is added to the Stormwater Basin Annual Inspection Report upon final approval of the pond. The City will inspect detention basins to determine the normal pool depth on an as needed and priority basis. However, when detention basins are reported to the City or an inspection is requested, the City will perform an inspection, and the normal pool depth of the basin should be determined during the inspection. Observed depths should be recorded onto the Stormwater Basin Annual Inspection Report. If the inspected pond depth is found to be more than 2 feet shallower than the design normal pool depth, this information should be reported to City Engineer who evaluates and determines appropriate remediation activities. 3.4C Measurable Goals • Inspect stormwater basins and outfalls reported as being deficient and document on Stormwater Basin Annual Inspection Report forms. Inspect other stormwater basins and outfalls on a priority and as needed basis. • Develop a plan and process to assess climate change impacts on BMPs • Develop a plan and process to assess flood control projects for water quality and climate change impacts. • Provide assistance for citizens and homeowner associations (HOA's) on an as requested basis. The request and follow up action taken should be documented. • Require new developments to enter into maintenance agreements for their stormwater management facilities, and maintain a record of those agreements. 3.5 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Illicit discharges contribute considerable pollutant loads to receiving waters. There are two primary situations that constitute illicit discharges; these include non-stormwater runoff from contaminated sites and the deliberate discharge or dumping of non- stormwater into the stormwater system. Illicit discharges can enter the storm sewer system as either an indirect or direct connection. 3.5A Regulatory Authority Effective implementation of an Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) program requires adequate legal authority to remove illicit discharges and prohibit future 13 illicit discharges. This regulatory authority is achieved through adoption of United City of Yorkville Ordinance No. 2010-05 (Appendix 5.5). Additionally, IEPA has regulatory authority to control pollutant discharges and can take the necessary steps to correct or remove an inappropriate discharge over and above MS4 jurisdiction. 3.511 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination The United City of Yorkville maintains, operates, and publicizes a call-in phone number (630-553-4350) where parties can contact the city with environmental concerns. Primary advertisement venues include the website and all related municipal publications. Telephone calls received from residents, other internal Departments or other agencies are logged on the Illicit Discharge Tracking Form (Appendix 5.16). The City Engineer, or his designee, should transfer information from the tracking form to the Illicit Discharge Summary Form (Appendix 5.17) monthly. The summary form should be reviewed annually to determine if trends can be seen and if any additional outreach efforts are warranted. Subdivision and Public Utility Ordinance The United City of Yorkville created and adopted Ordinance No. 94-4 (Appendix 5.6) to prohibit the discharge of any toilet, sink,basement, septic tank, cesspool, industrial waste or other polluting substances to any open ditch, drain, or drainage structure. This ordinance can be used to further support the activities required by the city's Stormwater Management Program Plan. 3.5C Understanding Outfalls and Illicit Discharges Understanding the potential locations and the nature of illicit discharges in urban watersheds is essential to find, fix and prevent them. Identifying Outfalls and Receiving Waters An Outfall is a point source where a municipal separate storm sewer discharges into Waters of the United States "receiving water". Open conveyances connecting two municipal storm sewers, or pipes, tunnels or other conveyances which connect segments of the same stream or other Waters of the United States are not considered outfalls. For the purposes of this program the following definitions shall be used: Outfall: A storm sewer outlet, or other open conveyance point discharge location, that discharges into a Waters of the U.S,receiving water or another MS4. Regulated systems include the conveyance or system of conveyances including roads with drainage systems,municipal streets, catch basins, gutters, ditches, swales, man made channels or storm sewers. The outfall inventory was prepared by the United City of Yorkville. The outfall locations have been numbered to facilitate detection and tracking of identified illicit discharges. 14 This information can be obtained from the city's Geographic Information System (GIS), which is maintained by the Community Development Department. The outfall map should be revised annually to incorporate permitted outfalls associated with new developments. An outfall inventory should be performed every 5 years; the focus of this effort is to search for new outfalls (i.e. those not already included in the existing GIS). The search for new outfalls should be combined with the pre-screening efforts. USEPA Exclusions It is noted that not all dry-weather flows are considered inappropriate discharges. Under certain conditions,the following discharges are allowed: • Water line flushing • Landscaping irrigation • Diverted stream flows • Rising groundwater • Uncontaminated groundwater infiltration • Uncontaminated pumped groundwater • Discharges from potable water sources • Flows from foundation drains • Air conditioning condensation • Irrigation water • Springs • Water from crawl spaces • Lawn watering • Individual car washing • Flows from riparian habitats and wetlands • Dechlorinated swimming pool water • Street wash water Pollutant Indicators Outfalls should be inspected for evidence of the following pollutant indicators: • Odor • Color of discharge water or staining of outfall pipe • Turbidity(clarity)of discharge water • Floatables in or residue from discharge water, such as scum, foam, suds, oil sheen, etc. • Excessive plant growth or lack of plant growth at outfall • Sediment plume. 15 3.51) Indirect Connections Indirect connections are typically the result of events such as dumping or spillage of materials into storm sewer drains. Intentional dumping is a common type of illicit discharge. Generally, indirect modes of entry produce random, infrequent discharges, with the exception of groundwater seepage. There are five main modes of indirect entry for discharges. These are groundwater seepage, unintentional spills, intentional dumping, outdoor washing, and over-irrigation of landscaping. Seepage discharges can be either continuous or intermittent, depending on the depth of the water table and the season. Groundwater seepage usually consists of relatively clean water that is not an illicit discharge by itself, but can carry other illicit discharges. If storm drains are located close to sanitary sewers, groundwater seepage may intermingle with sewage. Seepage will be addressed by taking samples to check for contamination from nearby sanitary sewers or septic systems. Mitigation measures would consist of repairs to sewers or notification to the Kendall County Health Department as appropriate. See Chapter 3.6 for the Spill Response Plan for unintentional spills. Intentional dumping is minimized through public education. The city also maintains an Illegal Dumping Hotline which is described in Chapter 3.5B. The procedure for handling a dumping incident is described in Chapter 3.6. Outdoor washing and over-irrigation are minimized through public education. 3.5E Direct Connections Direct connections enter through direct piping connections to the storm sewer system, and are most easily detected during dry-weather periods. Inspection of stormwater outfalls during dry-weather conditions reveals whether non-stormwater flows exist. If non-stormwater flows are observed,they can be screened and tested to determine whether pollutants are present. If the presence of pollutants is indicated, the detective work of identifying the source of the discharge can begin and be corrected. The process to eliminate direct connection illicit discharges consists of the following components: 1. Program Planning consists of the organizational efforts required to perform outfall screening and follow-up investigative activities of the program. Program planning identifies the regulatory authority to remove directly connected illicit discharges, identification of the outfalls and receiving waters, and providing personnel and equipment to perform the outfall screening and follow-up work. 2. Outfall Screening consists of pre-screening to determine whether dry-weather flows are present and outfall inspection which includes field visits to determine whether an illicit discharge exists. 16 3. Follow-Up Investigation and Program Evaluation are necessary to determine the source of any identified pollutant flows and eliminate them. The major follow-up investigation evaluation components include: • reviewing and assessing outfall inspection results • internal coordination • tracing upstream to identify the source of the illicit discharge • exercising the appropriate legal means to eliminate the illicit discharge and schedule follow-up inspections as necessary 3.5F Access to Private Property In some cases, it may be necessary for City personnel to enter or cross private property to investigate probable illicit discharges. A form letter should be prepared that includes a short description of the project, the purpose of the access to the property, and the name of a project contact person with a telephone number. If the owner is not present, a letter should be left at the premises to facilitate return inspection. If permission to access property is denied, a public official should then contact the owner at a later date. 3.5G Confined Space Entry Confined space entry for this program would include climbing into or inserting one's head into a pipe, manhole, or catch basin. In general, do not cross the vertical plane defining an outfall pipe or the horizontal plane defining a manhole unless properly prepared for confined space entry. Confined space entry shall be conducted only by trained personnel with appropriate rescue and monitoring equipment. Outfall Inspection The City is unable to perform inspections on all stormwater outfalls but will take action to correct problems with storm water outfalls as they are reported. The request and follow up action taken should be recorded. Those outfalls which are reported and are followed up with an inspection should be assessed to determine which one of the three following conditions applies: (1) The outfall is dry or damp with no observed flow (2) Flowing discharges are observed from the outfall (3) The outfall is partially or completely submerged with no observed flow or is inaccessible Scenario 1: No Observed Flow. The field crew should photograph the outfall and complete applicable sections of the Stormwater Outfall Inspection Form (Appendix 5.18). 17 Scenario 2: Observed Flow. The field crew photographs the outfall and complete applicable sections of the Stormwater Outfall Inspection Form. The intent is to gather additional information to determine if an illicit discharge is present. Scenario 3: Submerged or Inaccessible Outfall. If standing water is present in an outfall or if it is inaccessible, then complete available information from Sections 1, 2, 3 and 7 of the Stormwater Outfall Inspection Form, with appropriate comments being written in the"Remarks" section of the data form. Determine the upstream sampling location using the city's storm sewer atlas. Manholes, catch basins, or culvert crossings can be used for upstream sampling locations. Make reasonable efforts to locate upstream sampling points that are accessible and exhibit flow. If inaccessible,resolve the problem in the office with appropriate supervisory personnel. Outfall Assessment&Documentation Complete the Stormwater Outfall Inspection Form for all outfall inspections. A separate data form must be completed for each outfall. In addition to standard information, the data form is used to record other information that is noted at the time the outfall inspection is conducted (e.g. dead or dying plants, fish kills, excessive algae growth, construction activities, etc. that might provide information regarding the potential for illicit discharges). 3.511 Office Closeout Update the outfall screening scheduling and completion form and plan the next screening day's activities. Discuss any problems locating outfalls with appropriate supervisory personnel so that alternate sampling locations can be identified. Once a month, compile data from the Stormwater Outfall Inspection Form onto the Outfall Inspection Summary Form (Appendix 5.19). 3.5I Source Identification Follow-up investigation is required for all outfalls with positive indicators for illicit discharges. The procedure for detailed investigation and source identification has three major components: 1) mapping and evaluation, 2) storm sewer investigation, and 3) tracing. Mavvine Evaluation For each outfall to be investigated, a large-scale working map should be created to show the entire upstream storm sewer network,outfall locations, and parcel boundaries. Storm Sewer Investization After conducting the mapping evaluation, a manhole-by-manhole inspection is conducted to pinpoint the location of the illicit discharge. All flows are tracked upstream until the dry-weather discharge is no longer detected. The field crew should also determine whether there has been a significant change in the flow rate between manholes. 18 Tracing Once the manhole inspection has identified the reach area, testing may be necessary. If there is only one possible source to this section of the storm sewer system in the area, source identification and follow-up for corrective action is straightforward. Multiple sources, or non-definitive sources, may require testing in order to identify the contributing source. The method of testing must be approved by the Public Works Director prior to testing. Potential testing methods include dye testing, smoke testing, and/or remote video inspections. 3.5J Removal of Illicit Discharges Removal of illicit discharge connections is required at all confirmed contributing sources. Nine steps are taken to positively identify and remove an illicit discharge to the storm sewer system. These steps are as follows: Step 1. Have an outside laboratory service take a grab sample and test for the illicit discharge at the manhole located immediately downstream of the suspected discharge connection. Step 2: Conduct an internal meeting with appropriate personnel to include Public Works personnel, Building Code Official, and the City Engineer to discuss inspection and testing results and remedial procedures. Step 3: The City Engineer shall send a notification letter to the owner/operator of the property/site suspected of discharging a pollutant. The letter should state the apparent violation, and request that the owner/operator describe the activities on the site and the possible sources of non-stormwater discharges including information regarding the use and storage of hazardous substances, chemical storage practices, materials handling and disposal practices, storage tanks, types of permits, and pollution prevention plans. Step 4: Arrange a meeting for an inspection of the property with the Building Code Official and the owner/operator of the property. After inspection, notify the site owner/operator of the findings and instruct them verbally and in writing to take any necessary corrective measures. Step 5: Conduct additional tests as necessary if the initial site inspection is not successful in identifying the source of the problem. The Public Works Director is responsible for determining the appropriate testing measure to pinpoint the source. Step 6: If the owner/operator does not voluntarily initiate corrective action, the Building Code Official shall issue a Notification of Noncompliance. The notification shall include a description of the required action(s) and a time 19 frame in which to take corrective action. Upon notification of noncompliance, the owner can be subject to penalties as stipulated by Municipal Code. Step 7: Conduct follow-up inspections to determine whether corrective actions have been implemented to: 1) remove the illicit connection or 2) establish a proper disposal practice. Step 8: If corrective actions have been completed (i.e. the illicit discharge has been eliminated) the City Engineer shall send a notification of compliance letter to the owner/operator of the property/site where the illicit discharge occurred. Step 9: If corrective actions have not been completed additional internal meetings shall be held to determine appropriate steps to obtain compliance. Appropriate actions may include monetary or other penalties. 3.5K Program Evaluation The results of the screening program shall be reviewed periodically to determine if any trends can be identified that relate the incidence of dry-weather flow observations to the age of developed properties or land uses. These determinations may guide future outfall screening activities. Although the outfall screening program will be successful in identifying and eliminating most pollutants in dry-weather discharges, the continued existence of dry-weather flows and associated pollutants will require an ongoing commitment to continue the outfall screening program. The annual inspection screening will determine the effectiveness of the program. 3.5L Measurable Goals • Track the number and type of potential illicit discharge on the Illicit Discharge Tracking Forms and Illicit Discharge Summary Forms • Inspect reported and priority storm water outfalls and record those inspections on the Stormwater Outfall Inspection Forms and Outfall Inspection Summary Forms. 3.6 Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping The United City of Yorkville is responsible for the care and upkeep of public facilities, municipal roads, associated maintenance yards, and city parks. Many maintenance activities are most regularly performed directly by staff; however, from time to time contractors are employed to perform specific activities. This chapter describes how the compliance with permit requirements is achieved by incorporating pollution prevention and good housekeeping stormwater quality management into day-to-day operations. On- going education and training shall be provided to ensure that the appropriate employees 20 have the knowledge and skills necessary to perform their functions effectively and efficiently. The following lists describe activities performed by the Public Works Department and Parks Department. Street Sweeping All streets are swept are least 3 times per year or more often on an as-needed basis. Fall Leaf Pick-up The city provides free leaf pick-up service to residents every fall. Shredded and compacted leaves are removed and land-applied as fertilizer by a local farmer. Catch Basin Cleaning The city owns and operates a vacuum sewer cleaner truck. Catch basin cleaning is performed on an as-needed basis. Locations of cleaned catch basins are tracked. Ice Removal The city uses Geo-Melt (beet juice) additive with salt-spreading operations to reduce the amount of salt used in the winter,resulting in an average annual reduction in salt usage of about 500 tons. Snow Removal The city does not plow or salt roadways in new developments unless occupied homes exist along those roadways. Salt Storage The city has a salt storage building on Tower lane to provide protection for stockpiled salt from rain. After the winter season remaining salt is trucked to the Kendall County storage facility for storage until the following winter. Spill Prevention The city keeps Material Safety Data Sheets for all chemical agents used by the Public Works Department. Weed Control The city uses herbicide when needed to control the growth of vegetation in roadside ditches. Ditches are mowed where possible to avoid the application of herbicide. The Public Works Department has several employees that are certified herbicide applicators. Illicit Connections Public Works and Engineering Department personnel are instructed to watch for unusual discharges from storm sewers or unusual events at stormwater basins. Landscape Maintenance The Public Works Department and Parks Department are responsible for litter and debris control, as well as pickup and proper disposal of roadkill. The city shall endeavor to provide trash/recycling bins in more highly used parks. 21 Vehicle Maintenance Vehicle maintenance procedures and practices are designed to minimize or eliminate the discharge of petroleum based pollutants to the stormwater system. Used motor oil and antifreeze are collected and stored indoors. Waste fluids are removed on a regular basis by vendors for recycling. Used batteries are stored in an enclosed covered container at the Tower Lane maintenance yard. The batteries are collected on a regular basis by a local vendor. Tires are replaced at local commercial vendor sites. Used tires are disposed of by those vendors. Waste Management Waste Management consists of procedural and structural practices for handling, storing and disposing of wastes generated by a maintenance activity. This helps prevent the release of waste materials into the stormwater system. Waste management practices include removal of materials such as asphalt and concrete, excess earth excavation, contaminated soil, hazardous wastes, and sanitary waste. A spoil stock pile is located at the Tower Lane maintenance yard. Asphalt, concrete, and excess earth excavation materials are temporarily stored in the stock pile. Attempts are made to recycle asphalt and concrete products prior to storage in the spoil stock pile. Clean spoil is re-used around town where needed to backfill excavations and re-grade properties. If contaminated spoil is encountered, it is collected for treatment or disposal. Attempts are made to avoid stockpiling of contaminated spoil. If temporary stock piling is necessary,the stockpile shall be placed on an impermeable liner. Additional protective measures shall be used to protect the downslope of the stockpiled area for erosion downstream. Access to a contaminated stockpile shall be located on the upstream side of the stock pile. Hazardous wastes shall be stored in labeled, sealed containers constructed of appropriate material. The containers are located in non-flammable storage cabinets or on shelving. These items include paint, aerosol cans, gasoline, solvents and other hazardous wastes. Paint brushes and equipment used for water and oil-based paints are cleaned within a designated cleaning area. Sanitary wastewater shall be discharged into a sanitary sewer when possible. Portable toilets shall be maintained at high-usage parks. Water Conservation Water conservation practices minimize water use and help to avoid erosion and/or the transport of pollutants into the stormwater system. Ordinance No. 2006-123 (Appendix 5.7) limits the use of permanent landscape irrigation systems for certain properties as follows: • For non-residential properties with one building, permanent irrigation systems using city water are prohibited where the total landscaped area exceeds one acre. • For non-residential properties with more than one building, permanent irrigation systems using city water are prohibited where the total landscaped area exceeds three acres. 22 • For common open space properties of a primarily residential development, permanent irrigation systems using city water are prohibited. The city has adopted Ordinance 2004-20 (Appendix 5.8) that establishes odd-even watering schedules throughout the city based on mailing addresses. This ordinance also requires a property owner to obtain a watering permit to use city water to establish new lawns. From July 1St to August 31St, watering permits are not issued and city water may not be used to water newly sodded or seeded lawns. From May 1St to June 30th, and September 1St to September 30th, watering permits are issued. Watering on the 1St day a lawn is sodded or seeded is limited to no more than eight hours. Watering on the 2nd through 10'days is limited to no more than seven hours, those hours being 5am-9am and 9pm to midnight. After Day 10, a lawn is considered established and a permit is no longer required, however, the property owner must still follow the odd-even and seven-hour restrictions. Suill Resuonse Plan Spill prevention and control procedures are implemented wherever hazardous or non- hazardous chemicals substances are stored or used. The following general guidelines are implemented when cleanup activities and safety are not compromised, regardless of the type or location of the spill: • Cover and protect spills from stormwater run-on and rainfall, until they are removed • Dry cleanup methods are used when ever possible • Properly dispose of used cleanup materials, contaminated materials and recovered spill material • Contaminated water used for cleaning and decontamination shall not be allowed to enter the stormwater system • Keep waste storage areas clean, well organized and equipped with appropriate cleanup supplies • Maintain perimeter controls, containment structures, covers and liners to ensure proper function Non-Hazardous Spills/Dumgine Non-hazardous spills typically consist of an illicit discharge of household materials into the street or stormwater system. Upon notification or observance of a non-hazardous spill, Public Works personnel implement the following procedure: • Sandbag the receiving inlet to prevent additional discharge into the storm sewer system. It may be necessary to sand bag the next downstream inlet. • Check structures in the immediate and downstream area. If possible, pollutant materials are vacuumed out. The structures are then jetted to dilute and flush the remaining unrecoverable material. 23 • Clean up may consist of applying "Oil Dry" or sand and then sweeping up the remnant material. • After containment and cleanup activities have been performed, the Public Works Director shall fill out the Spill Response Notice(Appendix 5.20) door hanger and distribute it to adjoining residences/businesses. In residential areas, the hanger should be provided to residences on both sides of the spill and on both sides of the street. • Public Works personnel document the location, type of spill and action taken on the Illicit Discharge Tracking Form and submit the tracking form to their supervisor. The supervisor or his designee takes the information from the form and transfers it to the Illicit Discharge Summary Form. • If a person is observed causing an illicit discharge, the Building Code Official shall be notified and appropriate citations issued. Hazardous Spills Upon notification or observance of a hazardous illicit discharge, the Public Works Department shall implement the following procedure: • Call 911 and explain the incident. The Fire Protection District responds. • The Public Works and/or Police Departments provide emergency traffic control. • The Fire Protection District evaluates the situation and applies "No Flash" or"Oil Dry"as necessary. • The Fire Protection District's existing emergency response procedure, for hazardous spill containment clean-up activities,is followed. • Public Works personnel document the location, type of spill and action taken on the Illicit Discharge Tracking Form and submit the tracking form to their supervisor. The supervisor or his designee takes the information from the form and transfers it to the Illicit Discharge Summary Form. Employee Training The United City of Yorkville's practice is to provide education and training to those employees of its Public Works and Engineering Departments that have stormwater- related responsibilities to ensure that they have the knowledge and skills necessary to perform their functions effectively and efficiently. Employees are encouraged to attend training sessions on topics related to the goals/objectives of the SMPP. Additionally, the Public Works Director will develop an employee training programs with curricula and materials tailored to specific employees. The materials will focus on stormwater pollution prevention measures and practices relating to the maintenance of facilities, infrastructure and properties. The initial training program will be offered within one year of the acceptance of the SMPP. Copies of training materials will be kept and shared with appropriate new employees as part of their job introduction. The Public Works Director will monitor the 24 potential need for overall refresher material distributions and offer additional training as necessary. 3.6A Measurable Goals • Maintain records for number curb miles swept each year. • Maintain records on amount of leaves collected each fall. • Maintain records on amount of road salt used each winter. • Maintain records for number of catch basins cleaned. • Maintain records for amount of herbicides and pesticides used each year. • Maintain records on type and number of training sessions and employees in attendance. • Monitor BMPs by Evaluating BMP effectiveness based on published research by keeping an inventory of BMPs implemented in the community and document the estimated pollution reduction provided by the BMP. • Participate in watershed groups organized to implement control measures for chloride water quality standards for deicing operations. 25 4 Program and Performance Monitoring, Evaluation, & Reporting The SMPP represents an organized approach to achieving compliance with the expectations of the NPDES Phase II program for both private and public activities within the United City of Yorkville. Land development and city projects and activities are to comply with the SMPP. Additionally, the city has numerous written and unwritten procedures for various tasks. This SMPP documents and organizes previously existing procedures to create one cohesive program addressing pre-development, construction, and post-development activities, as well as municipal operations. This chapter describes how the United City of Yorkville will monitor and evaluate the SMPP. As part of the stormwater management program,the city will: • review its activities • inspect its facilities • oversee, guide, and train its personnel • evaluate the allocation of resources available to implement stormwater quality efforts This chapter describes how program monitoring, evaluation and reporting will be accomplished. 4.1 Performance Milestones Previously established ordinances and programs implement many of the anticipated tasks. The following schedule describes general performance expectations. • Within one year following the acceptance of the SMPP, appropriate employees will receive training regarding the implementation of the SMPP. • Within one year following the acceptance of the SMPP, items within Chapter 3 will be implemented with the exception of the IDDE program milestones discussed below. Refer to Chapter 2.1 for a description of tasks associated with the implementation of the SMPP. • Within three years following the acceptance of the SMPP, the Outfall Inspection Procedure will be completed for all pipes identified, during the pre-screening efforts, as having dry weather flow. • Within five years following the acceptance of the SMPP, tracing and removal procedures will be completed for all sewers identified during the Outfall Inspection Procedure as having illicit discharges. 26 4.2 Program Monitoring and Research Currently water quality sampling/monitoring is not required under the NPDES Phase II program. Therefore, monitoring efforts focus on qualitative, not quantitative, examination of stormwater practices. It is anticipated that the USEPA and IEPA programs will evolve to require water quality monitoring and sampling. Future efforts may involve collecting information regarding discharges from outfalls, identifying other sources of pollutants, characterizing the receiving waters, sampling construction site discharges, and identifying the performance of stormwater pollution control measures. The United City of Yorkville will comply with future federal and state mandates regarding stormwater issues. The United City of Yorkville will consider research conducted by others regarding the effectiveness of various alternative stormwater practices, procedures and technologies. The city will continue to seek innovative stormwater practices and technologies. 4.3 Program Evaluation The primary mechanism for evaluating the SMPP and ensuring that the field staff has adequate knowledge is supervision by responsible managers. Management personnel include the directors and supervisors of the Public Works and Engineering Departments. Management support tasks include observing and evaluating design, construction, and field personnel as they implement the requirements of the SMPP on both municipal and private projects, and maintenance personnel as they conduct their assigned activities. The following types of questions/answers are discussed annually between management and field staff. • Are proper stormwater management practices used in planning, designing and constructing both city and private projects? • Are efforts to incorporate stormwater practices into maintenance activities effective and efficient? • Is the training program sufficient? • Is the SMPP sufficient? • Are the procedures for implementing the SMPP adequate? 27 5 Appendices 28 APPENDIX A WETLAND PERMIT APPLICATION AND PERMIT SUBMITTAL•FLOWCHART UNITED CITY OF YORKVILLE WETLAND PERMIT APPLICATION cel aly um ow) Dole Appkollbn Received: , W irucliarn:Appiconl shah submfl completed appicolion permli uunbuki checim.psarrrit subrrnitial itovr arl.rraNpoliors plan checldsl and of other appkable submllioi ilems as required wUMn the Welland Ordinance to the Admirktro lor.The wellond pemit wrlew process shat begin once o complele submlliol hos been provided Nome&Address of Applicant: Noma&Address of OwnegsI: Nome&Address of Developer.

Sincerely, NX Code Official cc: STORMWATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ANNUAL MAINTENANCE PLAN FOR EXISTING FACILITIES Purpose and Objective: Detention and water quality treatment facilities,storm sewers,swales and native vegetation/buffer areas define a development's stormwater management system. When land is altered to build homes and other developments,the natural system of trees and plants is replaced with impervious surfaces like sidewalks, streets,decks,roofs,driveways,or lawns over highly compacted soils. As a result more rain water/storm water flows off the land at a faster rate and less rain water is absorbed into the soil. This can lead to streambank erosion,downstream flooding and increased concentrations of pollutants. The existing storm water management system was designed to help slow the rate of runoff from the development and maintain the quality of the storm water leaving the site. Inspection Frequency Inspection experience will determine the required cleaning frequencies for the components of the stormwater management system. At a minimum,the attached checklist items should be inspected annually. Detention ponds(including the outlet control structure and restrictors)should be inspected on a monthly basis during wet weather conditions from March to November. Maintenance Considerations: Whenever possible,maintenance activities should be performed during the inspection. These activities should be supplemented by repair/replacement as required. A Registered Professional Engineer(PE)shall be hired for design resolution of specific items as indicated on the checklist below. Cost Considerations: Frequent maintenance program work execution will lead to less frequent and less costly long- term maintenance and repair. The attached checklist items may need to be amended based on inspection experience. Record Keeping Separate and distinct records should be maintained by the responsible party for all tasks performed associated with this plan. The records shall include the dates of maintenance visits,who performed the inspection,and a description of the work performed. 5.13 Maintenance Plan Template for Existing Facilities 1 Post-Construction Stormwater Management System Inspection Checklist The following checklist describes the suggested routine inspection items and recommended measures to be taken to ensure that the Stormwater Management System functions as designed. When hiring a PE is the recommended measure,the PE shall inspect,evaluate and recommend corrective actions. The General section outlines items that should be taken into consideration during inspection and maintenance activities. While performing an overall inspection of your system,please check for the following items. General- • Litter and debris shall be controlled. • Accumulated sediment shall be disposed of properly, along with any wastes generated during maintenance operations. • Riprap areas shall be repaired with the addition of new riprap, as necessary, of adequate size and shape. • Roads and parking lots shall be swept or vacuumed on a periodic basis. • Access path to storm water management facilities should be free from obstructions (woodpiles, sheds,vegetation). • Fences,gates and posts shall be maintained. • Signs shall be maintained. Storage Facilities(Detention,Retention and Water Quality Treatment Facilities) Dams and berms Settlement. If settlement observed,hire a PE. Breaks or failures. If failure observed,notify the Village immediately and hire a PE. Erosion. Repair as needed. Signs of leakage, seepage or wet spots. If observed,hire a PE. Unwanted growth or vegetation. Remove as needed. Shorelines Erosion or rip-rap failures. Repair as needed Undermining. Stabilize and repair as needed. Outlet and inlet structure Obstructions blocking outlet pipe,restrictor,channel or spillway. Remove obstructions immediately. Separation of joints. Repair as needed. Cracks,breaks,or deterioration of concrete. Repair as needed Scour and erosion at outlet. If observed,repair(consider additional or alternative stabilization methods). Condition of trash racks. Remove any collected debris. 5.13 Maintenance Plan Template for Existing Facilities 2 Outlet channel conditions downstream. Stabilize soil or remove obstructions as needed. Storage Volume Facilities shall be inspected to ensure that the constructed volume for detention is maintained. No sediment,topsoil,or other dumping into the facility shall be allowed. If a detention facility includes specific locations designed to accumulate sediment these locations should be dredged every 5-yrs or when 50%of the volume has been lost. Wet ponds lose 0.5 - 1.0%of their volume annually. Dredging is required when accumulated volume loss reaches 15%,or approximately every 15-20 years. Storm Sewers System is free draining into collection channels or catch basins. If concerned,clean or repair. Catch basins. Remove sediment when more than 50%of basin sump is filled. Siltation in Culvert. Culverts shall be checked for siltation deposit, clean out as necessary. Bridges Any scouring around wing walls. Stabilize and repair as needed. If concerned,hire a PE. Any undermining of footings. Stabilize and repair as needed. If concerned,hire a PE. Swales— All ditches or pipes connecting ponds in series should be checked for debris that may block flow. Repair and replace permanent check-dams as necessary. Verify systems (both drainage ditches and sideyard swales) are maintaining originally constructed design slope and cross-sectional area. If fill or sediment contributes to elevation changes in swale, re-grading and re-shaping shall be performed. Licensed surveyors shall be hired to lay-out and check grades. No landscaping, earthen fill, gardens, or other obstructions(including sheds and other structures) shall be allowed in the swales that would impede design drainage flow patterns. Vegetated Areas— Need for planting,reseeding or sodding of native areas. Supplement alternative native vegetation if a significant portion has not established(50%of the surface area). Reseed with alternative grass species if original grass cover has not successfully established. Need for planting,reseeding or sodding of turf areas. Supplement alternative native vegetation if a significant portion has not established(75%of the surface area). 5.13 Maintenance Plan Template for Existing Facilities 3 Reseed with alternative grass species if original grass cover has not successfully established. Invasive vegetation(refer to the Native Plant Guide for Streams and Stormwater Facilities in Northeastern Illinois,or hire an environmental or landscape specialist, or hire an environmental or landscape specialist). Remove as necessary. Wetland Buffers— Inspect for evidence of erosion or concentrated flows through or around the buffer. All eroded areas should be repaired, seeded and mulched. A shallow stone trench should be installed as a level spreader to distribute flows evenly in any area showing concentrated flows. All existing undergrowth, forest floor duff layer,and leaf litter must remain undisturbed except in designated paths or permitted encroachment areas. No tree cutting is allowed except for normal maintenance of dead,diseased and damaged trees or;the culling of invasive,noxious or non-native species that are to be replaced by more desirable and native vegetation. A buffer must maintain a dense,complete and vigorous cover of"non-lawn" vegetation which should not be mowed no more than once a year. Vegetation may include grass and other herbaceous species as well as shrubs and trees. Use or maintenance activities within the buffer shall be conducted so as to prevent damage to vegetation and exposure of soil. 5.13 Maintenance Plan Template for Existing Facilities 4 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM MAINTENANCE PLAN FOR NEW FACILITIES Subject: SUCH PROPERTY BEING THE REAL PROPERTY NOW DULY PLATTED AS ,AS SUCH PLAT IS NOW RECORDED AS DOCUMENT NO. IN THE OFFICE OF THE RECORDER OF DEEDS OF THE COUNTY OF KENDALL,STATE OF ILLINOIS,HEREBY MAKES THE FOLLOWING DECLARATIONS OF MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITIES. Responsibilities Adequate provisions for maintenance of the stormwater system are an essential aspect of long-term drainage performance. Responsibility for the overall maintenance shall rest with the Purpose and Ob'ec� five: Detention and water quality treatment facilities, storm sewers,swales and native vegetation/buffer areas define a development's stormwater management system. When land is altered to build homes and other developments,the natural system of trees and plants is replaced with impervious surfaces like sidewalks,streets,decks,roofs,driveways,or lawns over highly compacted soils.

Do not use a new data entry form to correct an incorrect entry. At the completion of each outfall inspection,the field crews are responsible for ensuring that a Stormwater Outfall Inspection Form has been completely and correctly filled out and that all data and remarks are legible. Section l: Background Data Sub-watershed: The receiving water from the stormwater outfall inventory to be entered here. Outfall ID: Enter the outfall identification number from the stormwater outfall inventory. Date: To avoid confusion,dates are be written in the following manner: DAY MONTH YEAR. For example, 10 MARCH 2007. Time: Military time(24-hour clock)to be used(for example, 8:30 a.m.would be written as 0830; likewise, 1:30 p.m.would be written as 1330). Temperature: A concise description of the weather conditions at the time of the screening is to be recorded(for example, Clear, 75o F). ec,�: The name(s)of the field personnel. Previous U Hours Precipitation,: The total amount of precipitation during the 48 hours preceding the inspection is to be noted(for example,none-72 Hours or 0"=4 days). If the total precipitation is not known, it is appropriate to enter a qualitative assessment if the precipitation was minor. For example,Drizzle-36 Hours if appropriate. If the precipitation amount was significant,actual precipitation totals is obtained from a local rain gage, if available. Photo's taken ff j�jft,): Photographs are to be taken with a camera that superimposes a date and time on the film. The date and time should correspond to the date and time recorded on the data form. P i o Numbers: If photographs are taken,the number(s) is recorded. L;an Use: Check all that apply,noting which land use is predominate. If the industrial box is checked,any known industries are listed to facilitate potential tracing efforts. 5.18 Storm Water Outfall Inspection Form Instructions i Section 2: Outfall Description Type of Outfall: Storm Sewer(Closed Pipe)or Open Drainage(Swale/Ditch)• First check if the outfall is either from a Closed Pipe or Open Drainage. Then complete the following row to describe outfall characteristics. Section 3: Physical Indicators Indicators: Complete rows describing outfall characteristics(Outfall Damage, Deposits/Stains,Abnormal Vegetation, Poor pool quality,Pipe algae/growth). This section is filled out regardless of current flow conditions. No flow during the time of the inspection,does not rule out the potential of illicit discharges. Corroding or stained pipes,dead or absence of vegetation,are potential indicators of illicit discharges from direct or indirect(i.e. dumping)sources. Likelihood: After inspecting the physical conditions of the outfall,the likelihood of an illicit discharge is assessed. Flow Present{Yds/hlok A Yes or No is entered here to indicate the presence or absence of dry-weather flow. If the outfall is submerged or inaccessible,"See Notes" is entered and an explanation provided in the"Notes" section. Flow Description: A description of the quantity of the dry-weather flow is provided. Refer to Figure 6 of the SMPP. Flow Chart Procedure: •If No is entered in the"Flow Present"block and no non-flowing physical indicators appear present the inspection can be closed,skip to Section 7 of the form. •If No is entered in the"Flow Present"block but indicators appear present,place the outfall on the follow-up inspection log,then the current inspection can be closed,skip to Section 7 of the form. •If Yes is entered in the"Flow Present"block(regardless of the presence of non- flowing physical indicators),complete remainder of Section and proceed to Section 4. Section 4: Physical Indicators(Flowing Outfalls Only) Complete rows describing outfall characteristics(Odor,Color,Turbidity,and Floatables). This section is filled out for flowing outfalls only. Odor: The presence of an odor is to be assessed by fanning the hand toward the nose over a wide-mouth container of the sample,keeping the sample about 6 to 8 inches from the face. Be careful not to be distracted by odors in the air. Provide a description of the odor, if present. 5.18 Storm Water Outfall Inspection Form Instructions Color: The presence of color in the discharge is to be assessed by filling a clean glass sample container with a portion of the grab sample and comparing the sample with a color chart, if color is present. If a color chart is used,the number corresponding to the color matching the sample is to be entered in this blank. Color is not assessed by looking into the discharge. Refer to Table 3 of the SMPP. Yurbidit "clarity": Turbidity is a measure of the clarity of water. Turbidity may be caused by many factors, including suspended matter such as clay, silt,or finely divided organic and inorganic matter. Turbidity is a measure of the optical properties that cause light to be scattered and not transmitted through a sample. The presence of turbidity is to be assessed by comparing the sample to clean glass sample container with colorless distilled water. Flo les: The presence of floating scum,foam,oil sheen,or other materials on the surface of the discharge are to be noted. Describe of any floatables present that are attributable to discharges from the outfall. Do not include trash originating from areas adjacent to the outfall in this observation. Likelihood: After inspecting the physical conditions of the outfall discharge,the likelihood of an illicit discharge is assessed. If flowing physical indicators are present the tracing procedure are immediately implemented by one of the field crew. The second member of the field crew continues with the inspection by performing the on-site testing in Section 5. Flow Chart Procedure: •If flowing physical indicators are present the tracing procedure is immediately implemented by one of the field crew. The second member of the field crew continues with the inspection by performing the on-site testing in Section 5. •If flowing physical indicators do not suggest an illicit discharge continue with the inspection by performing the on-site testing in Section 5. Section 5: On-Site Sampling/Testing(Flowing Outfalls Only) Parameters: Test strip or kit chemical analyses are conducted for the following parameters: • pH,test strip, • Color,color chart, • Chlorine,test strip, • Copper,test strip, o Ammonia,test strip, • Phenols,test kit,and • Detergents,test kit. 5.18 Storm Water Outfall Inspection Form Instructions i G Testing is done by either a test strip or test kit as applicable(refer to the equipment column). The results are compared with the"acceptable range"and the "within range" column is filled out with a Yes or No. Note that the Temperature,Alkalinity and Hardness are determined although these results do not need to be compared with an "acceptable range". These values are used to assist in determining the source of the illicit discharge during the tracing procedure. Sam ling Location: A description of the actual sampling location is to be recorded(for example,at end of outfall pipe). If the outfal I is submerged or is inaccessible for sampling,an upstream sampling location may be required. A description of any upstream sampling locations is recorded here. Grab samples are collected from the middle, both vertically and horizontally,of the dry-weather flow discharge in a critically cleaned glass container. Samples can be collected by manually dipping a sample container into the flow. Sampling Procedures: Use the following procedures for all test kit analyses: 1. Take a grab sample and swirl to ensure that the sample is well mixed. 2. Rinse the sample cup(25ml)twice with distilled water. Next,rinse the sample cup twice with water from the grab sample. 3. Fill the sample cup to the 25 ml mark,or as required by the instructions for the test kits. Hold the sample cup at eye level to ensure that measurements are accurate. 4. Conduct the test kit analyses following the manufacturer's instructions. 5. Dispose of the sample as follows: •If no chemical or reagents have been added to the sample,the water can be poured on the ground. •If aM chemical or reagent is added to the sample,pour the water into a container marked"Liquid Waste"for proper disposal to a sanitary sewer system at the end of the day. 6. Rinse the sample cup three times with tap water and dry with a paper towel. Flow Chart Procedure: •If any parameter is outside of the"acceptable range"then an illicit discharge has likely been found. The tracing procedure is immediately implemented by one of the field crew. Testing can be stopped,and the second member of the field crew continues with the inspection by completing Section 7. •If none of the parameters are outside of the acceptable range,proceed to Section 6. 5.18 Storm Water Outfall Inspection Form Instructions i i i Section 6: Data Collection for Lab Testing Determine if the Yorkville-Bristol Sanitary District has adequate staff capacity to analyze the samples. •If YBSD has adequate staff capacity,collect grab samples and provide them to YBSD. Note the location of the sample. Label the sample with the outfall ID number. Proceed to Section 7 while in the field and complete the remainder of Section 6 after the lab results are available. •If YBSD does not currently have adequate capacity,determine if Sections 3 or 4 of the inspection form suggest an illicit discharge. o If Sections 3 or 4 suggest an illicit discharge contact and outside lab to perform the testing. Proceed to Section 7 while in the field and complete the remainder of Section 6 after the lab results are available. o If Sections 3 or 4 do not suggest an illicit discharge, note the outfall ID number. Place the outfall on the follow-up inspection log and proceed to Section 7 of the form. Re-inspect and sample the discharge when YBSD has adequate capacity. S&Mle Location: The location of the sample is noted. Additionally,the sample is labeled with the outfall ID number. Use the city's sampling procedures. The following additional items are noted. 1. When you collect any samples you must fill out an Outfall Sampling Report. The report must document time you arrive on location,take the sample and get to the plant to drop off the sample. 2. A 500-m1 glass bottle sample is used to collect the sample. If you are collecting a sample that has grease 2-250ml samples taken with a glass container are required. 3. If you use the sampling container that is on a rope, it must be washed with soap and water after every use. Parameters: Grab samples and lab testing is performed. After lab results are available enter the results here. •If any parameter is outside of the"acceptable range"then an illicit discharge has likely been found. The tracing procedure should be immediately implemented. •If none of the parameters are outside of the acceptable then the investigation can be closed. Section 7: Any Non-Illicit Discharge Concerns Any problems or unusual features are to be entered here. If the outfall appears to be potentially impacted by inappropriate discharges,this can be recorded here. This section is to be completed even if no flow is observed. 5.18 Storm Water Outfall Inspection Form Instructions City of Yorkville Outfall Inspection Summary Form Outtall Inspection Flow Color Turbidity Odor?

As it flows, it can pick up debris,chemic als,dirt,and other pollutants and deposit them into a storm sewer system or waterbody. Anything that enters a storm sewer system is discharged untreated into the waterbodies we use for swimming,fishing,and providing drinking water. Remember: Only Rain Down the Drain To keep the stormwater leaving your home or workplace clean,follow these simple guidelines; ♦ Use pesticides and fertilizers sparingly. 6 Repair auto leaks. ♦ Dispose of ` household hazardous waste,used auto fluids (antifreeze,oil,etc.),and batteries at designated collection or recycling locations. • Clean up after your pet. ♦ Use a commercial car wash or wash your car on a lawn or other unpaved surface. ♦ Sweep up yard debris rather than hosing down areas.Compost or recycle yard waste when possible. ♦ Clean paint brushes in a sink,not outdoors. Properly dispose of excess paints through a household hazardous waste collection program. • Sweep up and property .b dispose of construction debris like concrete and mortar.
