C: ILLICIT DISCHARGE DETECTION AND ELIMINATION The SMC committed to provide some supporting functions to MS4s for meeting the Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination minimum control under BMP numbers C.2 and C.10. The status or progress for each of the measurable goals related to these BMPs is presented below. C.1 Storm Sewer Map Preparation Measurable Goal: Develop countywide mapping protocols and distribute information to MS4s for use. An ad hoc MAC committee was convened to develop the protocol, which was then widely distributed for comment and approval. The protocol is available on SMC s website. C.2 Regulatory Control Program Measurable Goal: Provide MS4s with model ordinance examples for their consideration. Model ordinances and on-line resources were provided. C.10 Other Illicit Discharge Controls Measurable Goal: Adopt WDO amendments to prohibit illegal dumping. Watershed Development Ordinance amendments were discussed and approved by the Technical Advisory Committee. The amendment package will be forwarded to the Commission for deliberation. 25

26 SECTION E E2 D: CONSTRUCTION SITE RUNOFF CONTROL Lake County has adopted a Watershed Development Ordinance (WDO) that establishes the minimum stormwater management requirements for development in Lake County. The WDO, which is enforced by SMC as well as by certified communities in the county, establishes standards for construction site runoff control. The enforcement of the WDO, in conjunction with other SMC activities and functions, implements BMPs under BMP numbers D.1, D.2, D.3, D.4, D.5 and D.6. The status or progress for each of the measurable goals related to these BMPs is presented below. D.1 Regulatory Control Program Measurable Goal: Continue to enforce the countywide WDO. Initiate feasibility planning for the Inspection Certification Program. SMC continues to enforce the countywide WDO. WDO amendments on the inspection certification program were drafted. D.2 Erosion and Sediment Control BMPs Measurable Goal: Continue to enforce the countywide WDO. Complete TRM updates on Wetlands Areas. Continue to prepare TRM updates for other chapters. SMC continues to enforce the countywide WDO. TAC has reviewed and approved TRM updates on the wetland preservation program. SMC continues to prepare TRM updates for other chapters. D.3 Other Waste Control Program Measurable Goal: Adopt WDO amendments for the control of waste and debris at construction sites. The Watershed Development Ordinance proposed amendments include language for this issue. They have been approved by the Technical Advisory Committee and are being forwarded to the Commission. D.4 Site Plan Review Procedures Measurable Goals: Track the number of enforcement officers who attend training sessions on WDO and TRM revisions. Track number of communities that undergo a performance review. Six community assistance visits (performance reviews) initiated by IDNR-OWR were attended by SMC. An April 2004 soil erosion/sediment control workshop drew over 145 participants. The workshop focused on WDO se/sc standards, new technologies and case studies. D.5 Public Information Handling Procedures Measurable Goal: Track number of complaints received and processed related to soil erosion and sediment control. 26

27 SECTION E E2 50 SE/SC complaints were received and processed. D.6 Site Inspection/Enforcement Procedures Measurable Goals: Track number of site inspections conducted by SMC. Between March 2004 and March 2005, approximately 600 site inspections were conducted. E: POST-CONSTRUCTION RUNOFF CONTROL As described above, the Lake County Watershed Development Ordinance (WDO) establishes the minimum stormwater management requirements for development in Lake County. The WDO establishes standards for post-construction site runoff control. These standards apply to any new development or redevelopment resulting in over 0.5 acres of new impervious area. The enforcement of the WDO, in conjunction with other SMC activities and functions, implements BMPs under BMP numbers E.2, E.3, E.4, E.5, E.6 and E.7. The status or progress for each of the measurable goals related to these BMPs is presented below. E.2 Regulatory Control Program Measurable Goal: Continue to enforce the countywide WDO. SMC continues to enforce the countywide WDO. Approximately 60 violation notifications were resolved successfully between March 2004 and March E.3 Long Term O&M Procedures Measurable Goal: Continue to enforce the countywide WDO. SMC continues to enforce the countywide WDO which requires an operations and maintenance plan for all permitted stormwater/water quality treatment facilities. Staff members have enhanced maintenance information that is distributed throughout the County. There are also WDO amendments designed to enhance post-development maintenance procedures. E.4 Pre-Construction Review of BMP Designs Measurable Goal: Continue to enforce the countywide WDO. SMC continues to enforce the countywide WDO. SMC continues to add to its technical reference library, additional BMP technology as it becomes available. E.5 Site Inspections During Construction Measurable Goal: Continue to enforce the countywide WDO. SMC continues to enforce the countywide WDO, which requires inspections at prescribed points during development. There are WDO amendments designed to enhance inspection criteria that have been approved by the Technical Advisory Committee and forwarded to the Commission for deliberation. 27

28 SECTION E E2 E.6 Post-Construction Inspections Measurable Goal: Continue to enforce the countywide WDO. SMC continues to enforce the countywide WDO. Post-construction inspections are conducted on an asneeded basis. E.7 Other Post-Construction Runoff Controls Measurable Goals: Conduct annual WMB meeting. Track number of BMP projects to which SMC has contributed funding. The annual WMB meeting was held on December 6, There were 29 BMP construction projects to which SMC has contributed funding. Part E5 contains a complete list of the projects. F: POLLUTION PREVENTION/GOOD HOUSEKEEPING This minimum control measure involves the development and implementation of an operation and maintenance program to reduce the discharge of pollutants from municipal operations. This program must include a training program for municipal employees. SMC committed to assist the MS4s with BMP number F.1 and perform services related to BMP number F.5. The status or progress for each of the measurable goals related to these BMPs is presented below. F.1 Employee Training Program Measurable Goal: Provide list of available resources to MS4s. A list of BMP training resources was provided to MAC. F.5 Flood Management/Assess Guidelines Measurable Goal: Track number of projects that are reviewed for multi-objective opportunities.
