Identify regional entities who could help – NROC? Others? audiences and messages; also, pet waste messaging) HHW days MCM 1Next Steps Action: Revisit shared opportunities at a later date; consider subcommittees – develop scope of work MCM2: Public Involvement and Participation Comments: Put NOI in a form that could be shared with public, muni boards, etc. (as in town council other boards). Output would be a shared template/fact sheet/exec. summary/bullet points all could use NC Comments: Define scope of “public comment” Comments: Cross check existing municipal activities to identify ongoing programs that might be able to be used to demonstrate compliance MCM 2 Next Steps Action: Revisit when towns have NOIs, then develop scope of work and id. who will do it MCM3: Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination SSO Inventory NC NC NC Comments:
Municipalities Are likely already this doing under CWA or other regulatory responsibilities so ensure coordination among departments to obtain information needed for MS4 compliance Storm sewer mapping Comments: Develop shared SOP to help communities who haven’t done this yet? For example, culverts are not outfalls and there has been confusion around this in the past Comments: likely doing already; confirm? NC NRPC and SNHPC can help centralize and compile data. Comments: UNH has outfall monitoring and investigation methodology – leverage?
Employee training Comments: Develop shared approach for employee training; example: leverage existing SSC meetings to host trainings for all Identify potential partners to lead trainings: T2 (incorporate into the Roads Scholar program?), UNHSC, others NC has done some training. NC RPCs can be the convener of training and record presentations and put on-line and have available RPCs Can facilitate getting others to municipal trainings. NC Wet and dry weather screening Comments: For screening, explore using UNH students and other existing programs for sampling Consider standardizing type of kits and also NC Comments: Identify who will be responsible for sampling – volunteers? Town employees? Consultants? UNH? DES programs? NC Collaborate more with existing cons com (contact cons com chair) and other org monitoring and NHDES training
maybe shared procurement (also for IDDE) Shared definition of what we are sampling for/level of sampling (n of sampling sites defined by prioritization?) Is mixed in with outfall mapping and using interns.? What other institutions have potential for interns? MCM 4: Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control NC NC Comments: Develop deed restrictions to enable stormwater maintenance NC Site inspection and enforcement of ESC measures Comments: Opportunity to leverage shared approaches and references for NC Comments: Survey towns to determine capacity; some may need Comments: Many towns currently have developer’s PE provide
inspection (SWA, DES, etc.) Challenges: Following up when issues are identified during post construction inspection assistance esp. with inspection Also, evaluate consistency of approaches to ensure all towns on same page Might need more definition/formalization around inspection Look at more collaboration with the AoT Regs. Standards exist – CGP etc. need to formalize incorporate into SW permit process. inspection reports to town, but are existing inspection methods acceptable or is something different needed (for example, town staff on developer’s PE inspection to validate)? Site plan review Comments: Develop shared terms for site plan review NC NC NC
for roads/parking lots (for example, Center for Watershed Protection criteria and audit documents); also look to SWA regs. for parking lot designs determine if there are conflicts Ensure stormwater controls for new and will prevent/minimize water quality impacts NC NC Comments: Identify which municipalities need help/connection to existing regional resources Develop shared interpretation of new/re-dev re municipal projects (as in: a school) Might be a need to align regs to require same for public/private Comments: SWA model standards should suffice for compliance PREP has funding to help communities update their regs Resources and models exist
repair of MS4 infrastructure SWPPP for parks, open spaces, garages, transfer stations, other waste facilities Comments: Develop shared approach and standards – templates; leverage EPA’s industrial SWPPP – UNH is currently working on one and we could also leverage the Central MA product; develop shared scope of work to create NC NC Look at existing templates and put Work with partners and RPCs on consolidating and customizing. NC Work with RPC on bibliography software for searchable website content. Catch basin cleaning Comments: Towns could explore collective bidding – would this lower/standardize costs? NC NC Comments: Most municipalities are already doing collective bidding. Note: A range of prices exists for
