7 1 General Information 1.1 Introduction The passage of Legislative Act in 1997 enabled the mayors of municipalities within Jefferson County to establish Storm Water Management Authority, Inc. (SWMA). The requirements of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit # ALS000001, issued by Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM), and the United States Environmental Protection Agency s (EPA) Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 122 (40 CFR 122), charged that SWMA, in coordination with all co-permittees of the permit, would work to meet the obligations of the approved Storm Water Management Program (SWMP). The permit was renewed in Over the fiscal year, ADEM ended the co-permittee arrangement and issued 15 individual Phase 1 permits to member cities of SWMA. Listed below are the cities, their new NPDES permit number, and the date of their issuance: Permit Number Permittee Permit Issuance Date ALS Trussville January 1, 2017 ALS Homewood July 1, 2017 ALS Irondale July 1, 2017 ALS Mountain Brook July 1, 2017 ALS Tarrant July 1, 2017 ALS Vestavia Hills July 1, 2017 ALS Gardendale August 1, 2017 ALS Hueytown August 1, 2017 ALS Midfield August 1, 2017 ALS Pleasant Grove August 1, 2017 ALS Adamsville September 1, 2017 ALS Brighton September 1, 2017 ALS Brookside September 1, 2017 ALS Fairfield September 1, 2017 ALS Lipscomb October 1, 2017 While the municipalities of Center Point, Clay and Pinson are members of SWMA, they do not have a permit at this time. All elements of the MS4 permit were addressed for these cities, however, the information was not included in this report. Documentation is available upon request. SWMA continues to function on behalf of all the permittees listed above to meet the compliance requirements of each NPDES permit. SWMA has subcontracted with the Jefferson County Department of Health (JCDH) to perform certain responsibilities. SWMA members, the Board of Directors, and mayors are aware that the ultimate responsibility toward permit 6

8 compliance lies with the municipality. SWMA s contract with JCDH and SWMA Bylaws are found in Appendix A. Therefore, the primary objective of SWMA, JCDH, and all permittees (hereinafter referred to as Program ) is to implement the SWMP in such a manner as to effectively prohibit the discharge of non-storm water into the MS4 and to reduce the discharge of pollutants from the MS4 to Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP). The annual report is the first report since new permits were issued starting January 2017 and covers the reporting period from October 1 st, 2016 through September 30 th, The program outlined in this report is patterned to address the requirements given by ADEM and EPA in the permits issued in The five year permit cycle for the members of SWMA will expire in This report is being submitted to the ADEM pursuant to Part IV of the permit. 7

The program has been in existence since the fall of Each major stream has two sites; one located high in the watershed and one located lower in the watershed. The procedures used for capturing fish are electrofishing and seining. After processing, all of the fish were released back into the stream. Some of the criteria used to determine the health of a stream include the number of fish species present, the species percentage of the total number present and a physical habitat assessment. The major finding of this study is that no significant trends in water quality have been identified. Therefore, the health of the streams appears to be stable with no signs of improvement or degradation over the length of the study. 10

12 2.3 Major Accomplishments SWMA is in the process of finalizing three ordinances for the member cities; illicit discharge, post-construction, and erosion and sedimentation control. Passage of these ordinances will bring the members into compliance with the permit requirements for those program elements. JCDH and SWMA have contracted with USGS to provide continuous monitoring of water quality at five sites located within the SWMA watersheds. The parameters to be monitored are temperature, ph, turbidity, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and water level. JCDH and SWMA assisted the city of Trussville with their Storm Water Management Program Plan (SWMPP). This document will be used as a model to guide other SWMA members with their plans. A copy of Trussville s SWMPP can be found in Appendix B. 11

13 2.4 Overall Strengths and Weaknesses Strengths Water quality monitoring and data analysis JCDH has water quality equipment that can provide immediate analysis of some parameters in the field. Analysis of other parameters is determined by a certified lab. Water quality data is stored in a database allowing for the compilation of customizable reports and data analysis. The database also contains quality assurance and quality control standards. Bioassessments are also completed to determine the overall health of a stream. Complaints and Investigations - The complaint system used by JCDH allows inspectors to efficiently investigate and resolve violations. The system also provides useful documentation of the number and types of complaints received. Member Reporting - The online program called Stormwater Online Activity Report (SOAR) allows standardized reporting of storm water related activities from member cities. Activity information can be submitted remotely by city personnel directly into a centralized database. Standardization of the data allows for better reporting and statistical information. GIS Mapping of Storm Drains JCDH and SWMA have been mapping the storm drain systems of member cities. Mapping provides a structural inventory allowing for better maintenance and fiscal planning. This data will also allow for future modeling of the watersheds. At this time, the database includes over 28,000 structures, 88 miles of pipe, and 156 miles of open channel. Dry Weather Screening The illicit discharge program utilizes efficient and precise technology to map and record findings about each outfall. JCDH uses an electronic questionnaire on a smart phone to record a photo along with the physical description, and pertinent water quality data to be saved to a stable environment in the cloud. The program also allows for quick access to the data on any device. 12

14 2.4.2 Weakness Industrial and High Risk Runoff In response to the audits by ADEM, SWMA and JCDH reviewed the members inspection process of NPDES permitted sites in regards to their storm water complaint practices. After the review, and in reaction to the upcoming permit regulations, SWMA and JCDH developed an inspection program to be worked by JCDH personnel that will help standardize the review of industrial and high risk runoff areas and ensure they are compliant with ADEM regulations. Standard Operating Procedure Manual- In 2010, JCDH and SWMA developed and approved a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) Manual that covered many aspects of the permit s requirements. The manual was developed in response to EPA s 2010 audit comments. While the SOP Manual is informative and contains helpful procedures, many of the forms for reporting storm water-related activities have since been updated and published online in the SOAR Program. When the cities receive their new NPDES permits, the SOP Manual will be updated with any permit changes as well as with the new forms. Dry Weather Screening - The MS4 is not fully mapped and therefore all of the outfalls locations are not known. Currently, JCDH is mapping 20% of the stream mileage within each municipality. Stream mileage is based upon the flowlines reported in the National Hydrography Dataset. 2.5 Future Direction of the Program SWMA will continue to provide services to help member cities meet MS4 permit requirements. Assistance will also be offered to help members transition from co-permittees to the individual permit status. Accomplishing compliance with permit requirements among all members is the ultimate goal for the Program. 2.6 SWMPP Overall Effectiveness The Permittees received their new permits throughout this year beginning January 1 st With each city having nine months to submit a SWMPP to ADEM, the only city submitting its adopted SWMPP to ADEM with this Annual Report is Trussville. The other cities will be submitting their SWMPP throughout next reporting period and will then include their finalized SWMPP with the annual report for Actions Not Accomplished Wet weather sampling was not completed during this reporting period due to transitioning to the new permit requirements. 13

15 3 Narrative Report 3.1 Storm Water Collections System Operations Objective The objective of the Storm Water Collections System Operation Program is to inspect and maintain structural controls in order to minimize the contamination of the local waterways by storm water runoff Activities Complete or in Progress Activity 1: Permittees shall maintain a map of the structural controls. This activity has been completed for the City of Trussville but is in progress for the rest of the members. Activity 2: Inspect existing and newly constructed structural controls on a semi-annual basis as well as maintain the structural control and remove any litter or sedimentation so that the structural control functions as designed. This activity is completed for the City of Trussville but is in progress for the rest of the members. Activity 3: Develop a checklist for inspection and maintenance of structural controls. This activity has been completed. Activity 4: Maintain an inventory of structural controls as well as the inspection and maintenance records for each structural control. This activity has been completed. Currently, none of the members have reported a structural owned or maintained by the municipality General Discussion The member cities have completed an inventory of publically owned or maintained structural controls within their jurisdictions and none were reported. Should the need arise, the SOAR Program allows cities to store inspection and maintenance documentation online in an organized fashion. A checklist for inspection and maintenance of structural controls was developed and added to Trussville s SWMPP. The checklist will be added to all SWMA members SWMPP and utilized as the SWMPPs are finalized Status The members are in compliance at this time. Mechanisms are in place for inspections and maintenance. A program is in place to allow documentation of structural controls when needed. Municipal structural controls inventories will be reviewed and updated throughout the reporting period. 14

17 3.2 Public Education and Public Involvement on Storm Water Impacts Objective The Public Education and Public Involvement Program was designed to inform the community about the impacts from storm water discharges on water bodies and how different segments of the community can reduce possible storm water pollutants Description of Educational Programs Informational Brochures The Program employs a brochure campaign to educate citizens on the importance of proper storm water pollution prevention. The use of pamphlets and brochures is an effective way to reach people that visit JCDH, SWMA, or the various member cities. Brochure holders have been dispensed to allow members the capability to distribute all materials published by SWMA and JCDH. This will allow for the distribution of brochures covering a wide variety of topics. Approximately 500 brochures were distributed this year. SWMA and JCDH have developed eight brochures since 2010 covering the following issues: Storm Water Fees, Household Hazardous Waste, Pet Waste Disposal, Fertilizers, Pesticides, Watershed Protection, and Erosion and Sedimentation Control. These can be found in Appendix C. Outreach Materials Education and outreach materials have been developed in an effort to reach primary and secondary school students. Topics presented include: watershed protection, safety tips to reduce and/or eliminate litter, excess storm water runoff and household chemicals entry into storm drains within SWMA member cities. The formats that have been distributed include stickers, bookmarks, magnets, branded carabiners, coloring books/activity sheets, t-shirts, and backpacks. Samples of some of these items can be found in Appendix C. Signage During the reporting period of JCDH completed the storm drain identification project by distributing approximately 800 storm drain markers. See Appendix C for sample. Website SWMA has a website through JCDH that contains information on many aspects of storm water. With the advent of the new permits, municipalities, with the capability, will develop their own webpages to inform citizens of information specific to program including information links and educational downloads. The municipality s webpage should also house the municipality s SWMPP, hotline numbers, and other pertinent storm water documents as required by the permit. 16

18 Reporting Hotline For citizens who do not have the time or transportation to meet with SWMA or JCDH employees during regular business hours, the JCDH hotline number, , provides a means to register complaints, express their concerns and to get information on watershed management in their local area. Watershed Meetings JCDH and SWMA are involved in multiple cooperative meetings regarding environmental hazards within Jefferson County, and collaborative efforts to improve storm water awareness. These meetings include committees such as the Environmental Quality and Assessment, Valley Creek Cleanup, SWMA Board of Directors. JCDH also met with the Cahaba Riverkeeper, and Cahaba River Society to discuss various issues on potential environmental issues involving the Cahaba River and Shades Creek Watersheds. Public Presentations JCDH personnel spoke at multiple events throughout the reporting period. Each presentation was customized toward the host s agenda but the objective was to raise awareness of the impacts of storm water. Some of the events attended include Miles College Science Division Symposium, Alabama Water Resources Conference, and Gardendale Safety Incentive Luncheon. Public Outreach Events Throughout the reporting period, numerous events provided JCDH and SWMA opportunities to present educational information to a variety of people of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. Informational brochures and outreach materials were distributed at these events. Some of the events attended include Birmingham Area Municipal Administrators Association s Annual Expo, Fiesta Birmingham, and Cahaba River Fry-Down. School Presentations JCDH conducts a variety presentation to students of all grade levels. Some of the topics covered this year were hydrologic water cycle, watersheds, and nonpoint source pollution. Jefferson County Erosion and Sedimentation Control Workshop Two erosion and sedimentation control workshops were offered in a cooperative effort with the Home Builders Association of Alabama, JCDH, the City of Birmingham, the City of Bessemer, SWMA members, and Unincorporated Jefferson County. Information on construction best management practices (BMP) is presented to contractors, homebuilders, developers, engineers, and municipal staff. The October 18 th, 2016 workshop was hosted at the Birmingham Zoo and had 40 participants. The April, 27 th, 2017 workshop was hosted at Jefferson County Department of Health s Western Health Center and had 50 participants. Cleanup Events Multiple cleanup events were held throughout the member cities during the reporting period. Twenty events were held which resulted in a combined total of approximately 50.2 tons and 1001 bags of trash and debris being removed from the watersheds. 17

19 3.2.3 General Discussion The Public Education and Public Involvement on Storm Water Impacts program is a combined effort by JCDH and the SWMA members. JCDH offers educational materials, educational presentations, training materials, personnel, and limited cleanup supplies. The member cities organize the cleanups and community events that provide a venue to educate citizens as well as cleanup the waterways. While the new permit requirements are similar to previous permits, the new permit requires the program to reach out to additional segments of the community. The cities all have printed material for their storm water program. The cities with websites are in the process of adding the more specific educational material in regards to different types of business and proper construction practices. JCDH and SWMA are also in the process of developing road signs to identify watershed boundaries within the member cities. Two sign options have been presented to the members Status The cities are in compliance with the general public component of this element. However, outreach for the business sector is in development. At this time, the only completed SWMPP is Trussville. The other member cities are in the process of writing their SWMPP Assessment The educational program for the member cities is engaging and robust. For the most part, the information has reached the intended audience and appears to be having a positive impact. The cleanup events have been well received by the communities as reflected by the number of volunteers. A common goal is for future events to have a reduction in the trash and debris removed from the watersheds Proposed Revisions There are no proposed revisions at this time Annual Reporting Prior to adoption of the SWMPP, the members will offer a public comment period to encourage input and participation from the citizens. A detailed list of the public education events and participants can be found in Appendix C. Communication mechanisms distributed include 500 stickers, 500 bookmarks, 500 magnets, 900 branded carabiners, 500 coloring books/activity sheets, 350 t-shirts, and 500 back packs 18

20 3.3 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) Objective The objective of the Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Program is to eliminate illicit discharges into the MS4 to the maximum extent practicable Activities Complete or in Progress Activity 1: Develop and annually update an MS4 map that includes the latitude/longitude of all known major outfalls as well as the names of the waters of the state contiguous to the MS4. This activity was completed for available data. Activity 2: Enact an ordinance that prohibits non-storm water discharges to the MS4. This activity is in progress. Activity 3: Have a dry weather screening program designed to detect and address non-storm water discharges into the MS4. A minimum of 20% of the major outfalls must be screened each year. This activity was completed for the City of Trussville and is in progress for the cities with newer permits. Modification of the parameters was necessary. See General Discussion for more details. Activity 4: Procedures for tracing the source of a suspect illicit discharge. This activity was completed. Procedures can be found the 2011 SOP manual adopted by SWMA cities. Activity 5: Procedures for eliminating an illicit discharge. This activity has been completed. Procedures can be found the 2011 SOP manual adopted by SWMA cities. Activity 6: Procedures to notify ADEM of suspect illicit discharge discovered within the Permittee s MS4 from an adjacent MS4. This activity was completed for Trussville and is in the process for the other member cities. Activity 7: A mechanism for the public to report illicit discharges and procedures for appropriate investigation. This activity is complete for Trussville and is in the process for the other member cities. Activity 8: A training program for appropriate personnel on identification, reporting and corrective action of illicit discharges. This activity is in development. Activity 9: Post ordinances or other regulatory mechanism on their website. This activity is in progress. The cities will post the ordinances on their website once the draft ordinance is adopted by SWMA and individual municipalities. 19

21 3.3.3 General Discussion SWMA has mapped the outfalls on the major waterbodies referenced in ALR00001 numerous times since the first permit cycle. The data is stored in a Geographic Information System (GIS) format. SWMA also documented their procedures for mapping, tracing sources and eliminating in the 2011 SOP Manual. The new permit requires the Permittees to map the outfalls that lead to the waters of the state. SWMA is using the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) to identify the waters of the state. With many new unmapped waterways and unknown outfalls, SWMA is inspecting 20% of the total waters of the state within each Permittee s municipal boundary annually. SWMA completed Trussville s 20% and is in the process of completing the 20% for the other members. SWMA and JCDH are in the process of adopting a dedicated pro forma illicit discharge ordinance that will meet the permit requirements. The members of SWMA prohibit illicit discharges from construction sites through their erosion and sedimentation ordinances enacted in Trussville has developed a SOP for ADEM notification and included it in their SWMPP. The SOP will be included in the SWMPP of the other member cities. Currently the cities that receive an illicit discharge complaint turn the complaint over to JCDH for further investigation. The mechanism currently is informal in the fact that citizen usually call city hall to report illicit discharges. JCDH does advertise in all SWMA literature as a number to report illicit discharges. Website material has been developed by JCDH and adopted by Trussville that educates the citizens and provides contact information. The material will be duplicated by the other member cities. JCDH is developing a half-day training program to educate municipal workers on different aspects of storm water including illicit discharges. This class will be held during the reporting period Status SWMA members are in compliance with the requirement of mapping and screening outfalls. Excluding Trussville, the cities are currently in the implementation stage of developing a more formal storm water presence on their websites in regards to illicit discharges. All member cities should achieve compliance of this element within the reporting period Assessment The program is effectively reducing discharges through complaints system as well through screening Proposed Revisions JCDH has no proposed revisions at this time. 20

22 3.3.7 Annual Reporting Annual Report Requirements for Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Total Number of Stream Mileage in City Stream Mileage to be Walked Each Year Stream Mileage Walked during Number of Illicit Discharges Investigated Adamsville Brighton Brookside Fairfield Gardendale Homewood Hueytown Irondale Lipscomb Midfield Mountain Brook Pleasant Grove Tarrant Trussville Vestavia Hills The Draft IDDE ordinance can be found in Appendix D. All investigations are documented in JCDH s complaint system which includes any sampling results and corrective actions taken, including dates. These complaint reports are available from JCDH upon request. Maps of the stream sections walked during and proposed stream sections for can be found in Appendix E. 21

23 3.4 Construction Site Storm Water Runoff Control Objective The objective of the Construction Site Storm Water Runoff Program is to reduce, to the maximum extent practicable, storm water runoff into the MS4 from qualifying construction sites Activities Complete or in Progress Activity 1: Procedures to require all applicable construction sites to obtain the applicable NPDES permits. This was completed for Trussville and is in progress with the remaining cities. Activity 2: Having an ordinance that requires effective erosion and sedimentation control. This activity has been completed. However, the ordinance is being updated to better meet the new permit requirements. Activity 3: Requiring construction site operators to control waste at a construction site that may cause adverse impacts to water quality. This activity has been completed. Activity 4: Enacting procedures for site plan review to ensure effective erosion and sedimentation controls. Many of the municipalities have such procedures in place but they are not formalized. This is in progress. Activity 5: A mechanism for the public to report construction site pollution. All municipalities receive complaints through their city hall. The complaints may be worked by the municipality or passed onto JCDH for further investigation. The municipalities that have websites are in the process of adding a storm water page that will formally advertise the city s designated party for taking construction complaints. Activity 6: Inspect sites in accordance with frequency specified in the permit. The cities are in the process of verifying this frequency. Activity 7: Training for the construction site inspection staff in the identification of appropriate construction best management practices. The cities that have active construction programs have personnel that are trained on proper construction practices. Activity 8: Development of a construction site inspection checklist. This activity has been completed. Activity 9: Implementation of an enforcement response plan. This activity was completed. Activity 10: The possession of a program that lists educational and training materials as well resources for construction site operators. The members with websites are in the process of posting a list of training materials on their Storm Water page. 22

24 Activity: 11 Posting ordinances or other regulatory mechanisms on their website. Most of the member cities that have websites have their ordinances posted. With the addition of storm water dedicated information to their website, links to the storm water ordinances will be included General Discussion Trussville has completed a formal procedure requiring construction sites to obtain applicable NPDES permits. This procedure is included in their SWMPP? As the other member cities complete their SWMPP they will also adopt a similar procedure. The member cities are in the process of verifying that they inspect sites at the prescribed frequency. Since the inspectors for the cities inspect multiple aspects of the construction sites, sites are inspected multiple times. The cities are also evaluating their program in terms of how to effectively document their inspections. All SWMA members adopted an Erosion and Sedimentation Ordinance in The ordinance requires effective erosion control including requiring construction site operators to control waste at the construction site. Currently the cities are updating the ordinance to reflect the individual permit status and to improve the enforcement response plan. Cities with active construction sites use a combination of verbal warning, and a Stop Work Order. The cities with active construction have a site plan review process. During the past permit cycle, JCDH had a website dedicated to storm water. All cities other than Trussville are in the process of developing information on their own website dedicated to storm water including information about proper construction practices. One educational opportunity advertised at the cities is the Jefferson County Erosion and Sedimentation Control (ESC) Workshop that is offered twice per year. This half day program covers many different types of BMPs for effectively controlling construction runoff. JCDH and the member cities receive complaints about construction practices. Complaints at JCDH are entered into a compliant program that documents all aspects of the complaints. The cities receive complaints through general city numbers. As the cities add the constructionoriented materials to their website, dedicated contact numbers will be added. Most cities with active construction programs have an employee trained as a Qualified Credentialed Inspector (QCI). Municipal personnel are also invited to attend Jefferson County s ESC Workshop which is an abbreviated version of the QCI training program. 23

25 3.4.4 Status Cities with active construction sites are in compliance in terms of ordinances and inspecting construction sites. The cities are reviewing how to better document the inspections. Education materials are available to construction site operators in the form of pamphlets. Additional materials will be available with the completion of their websites. Members expect to achieve compliance of the documentation component of this element during the reporting period Assessment The control is effective but can be improved in terms of inspection documentation and offering additional educational materials on their website Proposed Revisions There are no proposed revisions at this time Annual Reporting Ordinance Hyperlinks for Member Cities Adamsville No existing website at this time.
