With these materials, Golden Valley has an excellent start on this permit requirement. Lundstrom, Kuentz and Fellman are on the Citizen Advisory Committee. Many requirements for public involvement were met during the development of the City surface water management plan. This measure concerns dumping pollutants down storm sewers, but more so under direct connections in commercial and industrial to the storm sewer system, also known as point source polluters. Golden Valley has not yet developed a program.
Golden Valley has a grading, drainage and erosion control ordinance that is fairly strict.
Golden Valley is in good shape for this requirement. Requirements for post-construction runoff control are the ponding for water quality and rate control. In some situations, the City has allowed installation of stormceptors to improve water quality. Cities are required to police themselves to protect water quality by implementing best management practices such as street sweeping. The City has an extensive street sweeping program.
