Minimum Control Measures

The goal of the City is to meet all six minimum control measures set forth by the State and Federal Government.
The control measures are designed to improve water quality and quantity through a combination of the following six control measures.
Public Education and Outreach- An Informed and knowledgeable community is crucial to the success of a stormwater management program since it helps to improve SUPPORT and COMPLIANCE. For more information on how the City uses Public Education and Outreach click here.

Public Participation/Involvement- By keeping the community involved with stormwater projects a higher degree of understanding can be achieved. For more information on how the City works with the Public click here.

Illicit Discharge, Detection and Elimination (IDDE)- It is important to work with the community in taking an active roll in keeping pollutants from entering streams. For more information on how the City works to improve IDDE click here.

Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control- Construction sites are the leading cause of sediment entering local waterways. By monitoring the runoff of construction sites,  sediment and other pollutants can be prevented from entering the storm drains and away from local streams. For more information on how the City monitors Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control click here.

Post-Construction Stormwater Runoff Control-  Monitoring runoff doesn't stop when construction is finished. It is very important to monitor and control runoff at all times to ensure that pollutants don't enter local waterways. For more information on how the City monitors Post-Construction Stormwater Runoff Control click here.

Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping- By taking a look at how the City does things, measures can be taken to better lead by example. It is important to all stormwater programs to show the public that this does effect everybody. For more information on how the City use Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping click here.
