AProposal to Provide Professional Services for the Development of the WSSurface Water Management Plan for the City of Elk River L Y MS4 Permit Assistance Rosemount, MN WSB assisted the City of Rosemount in analyzing and examining their stormwater management program to meet the requirements of the state NPDES, MS4 permit. This complex process is variable per community; however, for the City of Rosemount it began with identifying their current program strengths and areas identified for improvement. This program design also engaged specialists from WSB to train the City's public works staff and City employees who are responsible for MS4 implementation. Beyond identifying and prioritizing a list of gaps and opportunities for enhancement of the SWPPP, WSB developed training, reporting procedures, and documentation methodology, and further supported the City should agency audits become necessary. WSB also assisted the City in leveraging their existing and potential future partnerships with other public entities to enhance their program offerings. In addition to other adjacent communities, WSB worked with the City to partner with Watershed Management Organizations and Soil and Water Conservation Districts to broaden their outreach to the public citizen and civic organization groups. These partnerships have positioned the City of Rosemount well for other mutually beneficial program partnerships. The City of Rosemount has a well-designed SWPPP that is clear, specific, and measurable to City officials. The tools and existing program components have allowed the City to continue to manage their stormwater system while effectively preventing pollutants from migrating into the very resources citizens expect the City to protect. Overall, an MS4 program that works within a city must be cost-effective and realistic for implementation; the City of Rosemount has a program this meets both of these criteria.
