12 Chapter 1 - Part C Overview Introduction As required by 327 IAC (Rule 13), the Town of Edgewood has obtained an NPDES permit for its Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4). The Town must develop and implement a Storm Water Quality Management Plan (SWQMP), which has been divided into the following three phases: Part A - Notice of Intent (NOI) and Permit Application Part B - Baseline Characterization and Report Part C - Program Implementation In compliance with Rule 13, Edgewood s Part A was submitted to the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) on November 3, A Notice of Sufficiency and permit number INR was issued by IDEM on November 18, The Part B characterization was submitted on April 15, 2004, within 180 days of the submittal date of Part A. Edgewood is still awaiting IDEM approval of the Part B Report. Part C of the storm water program must be developed and submitted to IDEM within 365 days (November 2, 2004) of the Part A submittal. The Town of Edgewood received a 90 day extension from IDEM for its Part C submittal, making it due January 31, Purpose The purpose of this report is to build off of the baseline characterization summarized in Part B in the development of the Part C implementation of the SWQMP. The report also includes a detailed program description including Best Management Practices (BMPs) and measurable goals, for each of the six (6) Minimum Control Measures (MCMs). Following is a list of the MCMs: Public Education and Outreach Public Participation and Involvement Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Construction Site Storm Water Run-off Control Post Construction Storm Water Run-off Control Municipal Operations Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping Attachments to this report include the certification forms for each Minimum Control Measure and worksheets and forms to be used by the Edgewood MS4 for recordkeeping. Programmatic Indicators The programmatic indicators are summarized in the Recordkeeping for Annual Reports section of this report. The MS4 operator will use the Programmatic Indicators Summary Table to compile programmatic indicator information and evaluate the success of the SWQMP over time. Additional details regarding the collection of programmatic indicator data are included with each minimum control measure. Town of Edgewood Part C-Storm Water Quality Management Plan page 1

13 Minimum Control Measures Chapter 3 includes details of each BMP including: descriptions, measurable goals, responsible entity, schedule, reporting and recordkeeping, minimum control measures, target constituents (if applicable), and whether the BMP is new or existing. An initial evaluation of Edgewood s storm water program was conducted in the Part B report and continued in this report. Current programs, as well as programs implemented as part of this SWQMP are summarized in Chapter 3 of this report. BMPs are arranged by MCM. Some BMPs apply to multiple MCMs, as indicated on the BMP detail page. In addition, summary tables used to quantify measurable goals and programmatic indicators are included in the Record Keeping section of this report. The Town of Edgewood will use these summary tables to track improvements in measurable goal information each year of the permit term. Narrative descriptions of the SWQMP program implementation of each BMP will also be included in annual reports. Timetable for Implementation Milestones Included in Chapter 4, each BMP description contains a schedule for the BMP implementation. In general, a timetable for implementation milestones is included as an attachment. Budget and Funding Sources Included as an attachment to this report is a table summarizing each selected BMP with a corresponding annual cost estimate and potential or actual funding sources.

14 Chapter 2 Ongoing Characterization The primary storm water pollution concern addressed by the Storm Water Planning Team included possible minor gasoline spills at gas stations. The Team was not specifically concerned with pollution from residential areas. Because there are no industrial activities and very few commercial businesses within the MS4 area for Edgewood, storm water monitoring will be limited to visual inspections and limited physical monitoring of the two outfall locations. No internal monitoring is proposed at this time. Additional monitoring and/or investigation will be incorporated if pollution problems are detected. Ongoing monitoring of their storm water outfalls (Logamar Lane and 8 th Street outfalls) will allow Edgewood to establish more baseline information and monitor improvements in storm water quality that result from implementing the SWQMP. Monitoring will be conducted during wet weather to monitor for signs of storm water pollution. Dry weather inspections will be conducted at both outfalls and will utilize the same monitoring methods as used for wet weather sampling. This will be further developed as the Illicit Discharge Minimum Control Measure in Part C of this program. Proposed Monitoring Program The Baseline Monitoring Program will include a combination of visual inspections and chemical analysis. Monitoring will occur during wet weather conditions. The following items generally describe the outfall monitoring program: Outfalls will be inspected two times a year, spring and summer (once in April or May and once in July or August) during wet weather. The MS4 operator and one other municipal employee will be trained to perform storm water analyses at monitoring locations, collect storm water samples, conduct visual inspections and fill out the Visual Inspection and Storm Water Sampling Form (Inspection Form). This form is included as an attachment to this report. The goal of this monitoring plan is to maintain a certain amount of consistency with completing reports and interpreting conditions to be reported. The trained municipal employee will follow the criteria listed in this program and routinely communicate with the MS4 operator regarding recordkeeping and reporting When an inspection reveals or detects an unfavorable environmental problem, a follow up inspection will be conducted within 24 hours. The inspection should be conducted upstream of the outfall to determine the pollution source. Municipal staff will take all necessary measures to identify and eliminate obvious pollution sources Wet weather sampling should be conducted during a rain event that is greater than 0.1 inch of total rainfall and at least 72 hours from the previously measurable rain event. Storm water sampling should be conducted within 30 minutes of the start of the rain event in order to collect pollutants present in the first flush of storm water. Monitoring data will kept on file at the Edgewood Water Plant. This information will be compiled at least once a year and presented in an annual report. Photographs should be taken to assist in documentation of the inspections. Town of Edgewood Part C-Storm Water Quality Management Plan page 3

15 Measured Depth By measuring the approximate depth of a storm water discharge, the amount of flow can be easily documented and compared from one monitoring event to the next. A higher depth corresponds to a higher flow and a lower depth corresponds to a lower flow. In order for this method to be effective, the location at which the depth measurement is taken must remain consistent across monitoring events. The measured depth should be recorded on the Visual Inspection and Storm Water Sampling Form (Inspection Form). An example Inspection Form is also included in Appendix A. Visual Inspections Both storm water outfalls will be evaluated through visual inspections. An Inspection Form will be completed for each monitoring event. Municipal employees performing storm water inspections will be trained in visual evaluation of the monitoring points. The training will include a list of visual observations to be evaluated and recorded on the Inspection Form during each outfall monitoring event. Odor: Discharge odors can vary widely. Some may indicate the source of contamination. Industrial discharges may smell like a particular spoiled product, oil, gasoline, a specific chemical, or a solvent. For example, the decomposition of organic wastes in a discharge will release sulfide compounds, creating an intense smell of rotten eggs. Significant sanitary wastewater contributions will also cause pronounced and distinctive odors. Foam: Many natural organic compounds will reduce surface tension, including those from decomposing algae and fish. Organic residues from decaying leaves and vegetation also contain substances that help generate foam. However, foam in a storm water outfall could indicate the presence of detergent or cleaners from illicit residential, commercial or industrial discharges. Atypical odors or coloration may assist in making this determination. Oil Sheen: An oil sheen is a thin layer of oil floating on a water surface. Depending on thickness, sheens range in color from dull brown for the thickest sheens to rainbow, grays, silver, and near-transparency. The presence of oil sheens in storm water discharges could indicate contamination from several possible sources: leaks or spills of automobile fluid, oil, gasoline, animal fats or even runoff from streets or parking lots. Color: Color may indicate inappropriate discharges, especially from industrial sources. Industrial discharges may be any color. Dark colors, such as brown, gray, or black, are most common. For instance, flow contaminated by meat processing industries is usually a deep reddish-brown. Paper mill wastes (plating-mill wastes) are often yellow. Wash water from cement and stone working plants can cause cloudy discharges. Contamination from industrial areas may come from process waters (in the form of slug or continuous discharges); from equipment and work area wash water discharged to floor drains; or from spills washed into storm drains. The presence of a dirty-grey mat or if the water appears to be dark grey in color, this indicates that the bacteria Sphaerotilus natans ( sewage fungus ) is present. Sewage fungus appears along the bottom of storm sewer conveyances when sewage or other fecal matter is present. Turbidity: Turbidity refers to how clear the water is. The greater the amount of solids in the water (silt, organics and other suspended solids), the murkier it appears. Turbidity is often Town of Edgewood Part C-Storm Water Quality Management Plan page 4

16 affected by the degree of gross contamination. Industrial flows can be cloudy (moderately turbid) or opaque (highly turbid). Undiluted industrial discharges, such as those coming from continual flow sources or intermittent spills, are often highly turbid. Sanitary wastewater is also often cloudy in nature. Floatables: Floatables are any solids, which are unnaturally introduced into the storm drain system. Floatables that cause degradation in water quality include trash or rubbish such as soda bottles, styrofoam cups, plastic bags, paper, packaging and other man-made products. Storm water will contain natural floating materials such as leaves, twigs or other natural debris. Unnatural floatables can contribute significant amounts of heavy metals, pesticides, and bacteria into receiving streams. Deposits/Stains: Deposits and stains are any type of coating that remains on the outfall pipe surface. Deposits or stains usually are of a dark color and tend to cover the area surrounding the storm water discharge. They could contain fragments of floatable substances or take the form of a crystalline or amorphous powder. The source of deposits and stains could be difficult to track. Additional investigation may be necessary to track potential pollutant sources. Vegetation: Storm water discharges often affect surrounding vegetation. Industrial pollutants can cause a substantial alteration in the chemical composition and ph of the discharge water, which can affect plant growth even when the source of contamination is intermittent. For example, nutrients from various food product wastes increase plant growth. In contrast, the discharge of chemical dyes and inorganic pigments from textile mills may decrease vegetation, as these discharges are often very acidic. In either case, even when the pollution source is removed, the vegetation surrounding the discharge point will continue to show adverse effects. Outfall Condition: If during the visual inspection, the outfall structure is found to be deteriorated, or if the area surrounding the outfall pipe has become eroded, the structure must be repaired. Refer to Section 4.6 Best Management Practice for Outfall Scouring Repair. Physical Monitoring The following table describes the constituents to be analyzed in the storm water sampling: Sampling Parameter Grab Sample Temperature 2 per year per monitoring location* ph 2 per year per monitoring location* Dissolved Oxygen 2 per year per monitoring location* * storm water samples should be taken from each monitoring location, once in the spring (April or May) and once in the summer (July or August) Sampling results shall be recorded on the inspection form provided in Appendix A. Other constituents may be monitored if signs of additional pollutants are apparent through visual inspections, public complaints, or other storm water program indicators. Following is a description of sample collection procedures and methods for analyzing parameters in the field. Town of Edgewood Part C-Storm Water Quality Management Plan page 5

17 Temperature Field measurements of temperature should include both air-temperature and water-temperature readings. Air-temperature readings should be made by placing a dry thermistor or thermometer in a shaded area protected from strong winds, but open to adequate air circulation. Avoid areas that may have radiant heat such as near metal walls or sides of vehicles. Allow the thermometer to equilibrate 3 to 5 minutes before recording the temperature. Water temperatures should represent the mean temperature of the discharge at the time of observation. Make the temperature measurement by suspending (from a weighted line) or placing a thermometer in midstream. Shade the probe to prevent erroneous readings caused by direct solar radiation. The thermometer should be immersed in the flow stream for a minimum of 1 minute prior to making measurements. Report temperature measurements to the nearest 0.5 degrees. ph Measurements of ph at outfall locations should be made directly in the storm water stream or a grab sample may be taken and analyzed in the lab. Several readings or grab samples may be necessary (vertically and horizontally) in the cross section to determine a mean value. Buffers should be used to calibrate ph meters. The standard buffer solutions have values of ph 4, 7, and 10 with a relatively high ionic strength. Two ph buffers are needed to calibrate the ph meter (4 and 7 or 7 and 10). Document calibration checks. Rinse electrode, thermistor, stirring bar, and container with stream water. Pour stream water into container holding the electrode, thermistor, and stirring bar. Allow the temperature to equilibrate and the electrode to precondition itself to the sample. Discard sample in waste container. Measurement: Pour fresh sample into the same container holding the equipment. Measure and set temperature and remove thermistor. Measure ph and record on field notes. Discard sample in waste container. Rinse electrode, thermistor, and stirring bar with distilled water, and store electrode as recommended by the manufacturer. Measurements of ph are reported in ph units. Results are reported to the nearest 0.1 ph unit. Dissolved Oxygen Dissolved-oxygen measurements should represent the mean dissolved-oxygen concentration at the time of measurement. Several readings may be necessary (vertically and horizontally) in the cross section to determine a mean value. The dissolved oxygen should be measured with the probe immersed directly in the stream. If the discharge velocity at the point of measurement is less than 1 ft/s, use a stirrer or raise and lower the probe at a rate of approximately 1 ft/s (do not break the surface of the water). If the stream velocity is so high that the probe will not be submerged, attach the probe to a small weight on a separate line. Turn on the dissolved-oxygen meter to any operational position 1 hour before use to ensure stability of operation. Leave meter on until final measurement for the day is completed. Ensure equipment is accurately calibrated. Town of Edgewood Part C-Storm Water Quality Management Plan page 6

18 Read and record the dissolved-oxygen values after the reading on the meter has stabilized (at least 2 minutes). Report dissolved-oxygen concentrations to the nearest 0.2 mg/l. Grab Sampling When taking a grab sample, it should be taken within the first 30 minutes of storm water discharge. To ensure that grab samples collected by workers on-site are representative of the storm water, follow these procedures: Have your sampling equipment and bottles ready ahead of time; Take a small cooler with ice to the sampling point; Label the sample container with water resistant ink (e.g."sharpie" pen); Collect the grab sample from the horizontal and vertical center of the flow; Avoid stirring up the bottom sediments in the channel of bottom of the outfall pipe. Hold the container so the opening faces upstream; To prevent contamination, avoid touching the inside of the container with your hands or equipment; Keep the sample free from uncharacteristic floating debris; Transfer the sample into the proper container; Pack the cooler with ice and pack the sample bottles in plastic, cardboard, or newspaper.

19 Chapter 3 Existing BMPs Private landowners, businesses, and the Town of Edgewood have implemented many structural and non-structural storm water best management practices (BMPs) throughout the MS4 area for the purpose of improving water quality for the community. As part of the SWQMP, the Town of Edgewood will confirm the maintenance and effectiveness of these BMPs and any additional BMPs that are identified or constructed during the permit term. BMPs owned or operated by the Town of Edgewood are summarized in the Municipal Operations section of this report. BMPs and associated inspection information are included below. Vegetated swales Businesses in Edgewood were surveyed for the presence of vegetated swales. The majority of the parking lots (commercial, municipal and churches) in Edgewood drain to vegetated swales prior to entering underground storm sewers. Vegetated swales trap sediment, slow the flow of storm water and promote the settling of sediment and pollutants. Collected information is summarized in the following table: Areas Draining to Vegetated Swales Water Treatment Plant Edgewood Shops West Edgewood Country Club Edgewood School (located outside of Edgewood, but draining into Edgewood s MS4) Winding Way Park Barber Shop Edgewood Town Hall Milk Barn Gas Station Location 526 Winding Way Nichol Ave. 519 Golf Club Road 3525 Winding Way Winding Way and Knoll Drive 3321 Nichol Ave Nichol Ave Nichol Ave. Vegetated swales were evaluated on March 11, 2004 by the MS4 operator and M. D. Wessler and Associates (MDWA). All swales are adequately maintained and appear to be functioning properly. Storm Water Ponds Three locations, within Edgewood s MS4, control their storm water runoff through the use of detention and retention ponds. Storm water ponds provide water quality benefits through the removal of total suspended solid (TSS) as well as some nutrients and metals. The following storm water pond locations within Edgewood s MS4 were identified: Business with Storm Water Pond Location BMP Baptist Church 3741&3743 Nichol Ave. dry detention pond Church of God (located outside of Edgewood, but draining into 2205 Park Road dry retention pond Edgewood s MS4) Old National Bank 3607 Nichol Ave. dry retention pond Town of Edgewood Part C-Storm Water Quality Management Plan page 8

20 Dry and wet ponds were evaluated on March 11, 2004 by the MS4 operator and a representative from MDWA. Two ponds located at the Edgewood County Club were also evaluated and found to be fed only by groundwater pumped by a nearby well. All storm water ponds are adequately maintained and appear to be functioning properly. Gas Station Improvements In the past few years, older underground storage tanks throughout the state have been upgraded. The BP and Milk Barn gas stations located along State Road 32 in Edgewood have recently installed underground storage tanks equipped with leak-detection systems and durable tank wall material. Oil/Water Separator The Rickers BP gas station installed an oil/water separator when it was constructed to prevent pollutants (accidental spills, automobile fluids, oil, and grease) from entering the storm drainage system. The entire fueling area drains to a single inlet where storm water is managed by an underground oil/water separator. The 1,500 gallon tank is inspected quarterly by the gas station owner and is maintained and cleaned out as necessary. Parking Lot Maintenance Most businesses in Edgewood perform parking lot maintenance. This litter pick-up and parking lot cleaning prevents pollutants and trash from entering storm water runoff. Local businesses were surveyed to determine the extent of parking lot maintenance performed. The MS4 operator conducted a survey of area businesses and other parking lot owners. The results of this survey are summarized below. Parking Lot Address Maintenance Activity Old National Bank 3607 Nichol Ave. A contracted company cleans parking lot twice per month. Edgewood Shops West Nichol Ave. A contracted company cleans parking lot on an as-needed basis. Baptist Church Nichol Ave. A contracted company cleans parking lot on an as-needed basis.

22 4.1 Public Education and Outreach Chapter 4 Best Management Practices The purpose of the public education and outreach program is to inform citizens within the MS4 area about the impacts pollution can have on water quality and provide information on how they can prevent storm water pollution. The Town of Edgewood will implement BMPs to inform all constituent groups (residents, visitors, public service employees, commercial and industrial facilities, and construction site personnel) within the MS4 area. There are currently no industrial facilities in Edgewood. Throughout this report, industrial facilities will be listed as a target constituent for the future possibility that an industrial facility begins to operate within Edgewood s MS4. The MS4 operator shall document all efforts to reach constituents with educational information and retain copies of all distributed educational literature. In addition, a storm water public awareness survey distributed at the beginning and at the end of the permit term will track the improvement in public knowledge resulting from the public education and outreach efforts.
