The Village has its own Potable Water Plant, Fire-Rescue, Stortnwater Utilities, Department of Community Development and Police Departments. It out sources solid waste with Nichols Sanitation and our waste water is franchised through the Loxahatchee River Environmental Control District (ENCON). The Village Department of Community Development's responsibility is to review all building plans and oversee construction compliance with local codes. The �lillage also has a Community Appearance Board (CAB) which reviews major renovations and construction for architectural style and design. Since the Village for the most part, operates as a stand alone community with its own Police and Fire Departments, it is important for stormwater utilities to ensure if their procedures provide for: (1) Training of personnel in spill prevention and response -_-procedures for mitigation of pollutant discharges. This procedure is provided through the Village Fire Department; (2) Development of an Information System to educate the public on ways to identify and report discharges and the proper disposal techniques for oils, toxic household hazaxdous materials. This is handled through Stormwater Utilities personnel. It is the intent of the Village to comply with all requirements to discharge under the NPDES permit, including aspects for the third year and to establish the criteria for implementation and compliance of the program for the remaining years of the period. During the first year, the Village implemented the following: (1) Set up procedures for the operation and maintenance of control structures and stormwater collection systems; (2) Began implementation to control discharges frnm areas of new development and significant redevelopment; . (3} Implemented a street and structure ma;ntenance program, which includes the proper removal of debris; (4) Initiated a program to ensure inspection and monitor the enforcement for the reduction of pollutants in run-off from fleet maintenance and storage yards; (5) Require certification proof by contractors to apply pesticides and herbicides; (6) Installed procedures for illicit discharges and improper disposal, inspections, ordinances and enforcement measures; , ('7) Provided construction site operator training. During the third year, the Village will continue to enforce first year objectives and to establish new criteria for implementation and compliance of NPDES. 2.2 MAJOR FINDINGS After implementation of the Stormwater Utilities, the Village began a study to determine what Level of Service (LOS) the existing storm sewer system within the -2- � Village provides. This study will not be complete for several years, however, the first two drainage systems studied were found to be far lower than the 25-year 1 day LOS required by Village Ordinance. If this trend continues, it is believed that most of the systems installed prior to the existence of Sauth Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) will not meet the required Village LOS and corrective action will be riecessary. There have been no further LOS studies done during the third year. _ It was also determined that the Dover Ditch was flowing at maximum capacity during major storm events; therefore, to reduce peak discharge and velocities in the Ditch, direct run-off from a 40-acre drainage area was diverted to Tequesta Drive Ditch: . The dry weather sampling sfiowed no illicit inflow and the system seemed to be funationing properly with very little, if any siltation. 2.3 MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS --- Awarded a construction contract to divert approximately 40 acres of drainage away from the Dover Ditch. This was completed in July 1997 and 40 acres was diverted to Tequesta Drive. Scheduled the modification of drainage in the two areas of the Country Club where the Village found a deficiency in the LO5. Complied with all aspects of � First Year requirements of NPDES/EPA as listed in Section 2.1. � Implementation of a Village swale rehabilitation and maintenance program. 2.4 OVERALL STRENGTHS The Village storm water pipe and structure system is in adequate condition considering the overall age of some of the areas. The Village NPDES program has overall support from the residential and commercial community, there£ore, the program has received the necessary support to implement an excellent NPDES program. . 2.5 OVERALL WEAKNESS There is very little curb and gutter within the Village, therefore it is imperative that the Village maintains the roadside swales and retention ponds. At present, most of the swales within the Village have been upgraded as part of the streetscaping programs. -3- 2.6 FUTURE DIRECTION OF PROGRAM It is the intent of the Stormwater Utility Board to comply with the requirements of the NPDES and to include in its five (5) year program funding to improve the existing swales, replace falling pipe, repair structures, increase storage capacity for stormwater retention and continue to improve the overall water quality at points of discharge. � -4- � SECTION 3- SUMMARY TABLE - ACTIVITIES 3.1 MAINTENANCE OF STRUCTURAL CONTROLS 3.2 STORMWATER TREATMENT PROJECTS 3.3 ROADWAY MAINTENANCE 3.4 FLOOD CONTROL 3.5 MUNICIPAL WASTE T.S.D.

In addition, tlle Villa�e inspects the control structures �vhile perforniinb �I'OUI1d maintenance activities (i.e. mowing) to ensure�further proper functioning of the structure; if problems are observed, they are reported to the Utilities Director and immediate corrective action is taken. . 4.2 DEVELOPMENT OF PLANNING PROCEDURES The Village, through its Stormwater Utility Board (SWUB) has implemented an ordinance to contral new and redevelopment projects, which requires the developer to maintain a 25-year, 24-hour storm event on-site. For projects greater than 4 acres, SFWNID has requirements for restricting discharge for c�uantity and quality purposes. � The_ Village through. the authority of the SWUB, has implemented and funded a swale maintenance program to ensure a higher quality of water discharge at all outfalls. , ,, In summer of FY 99, the Village implemented a study to determine the Level of Service (LOS) of all drainage areas. This study was funded by the SWI1B The study focuses on older subdivisions first and follow-up with a comprehensive catalogue of the entire stormwater utility. The Village has initiated a storm�vater mapping (GIS) program of the entire system. 4.3 ROADWAY MAINTENANCE/EQUIPMENT YARDS/MAINTENANCE SHOPS . Roadway maintenance is handled through the Public Works Department. The Department implements a street sweeping program by use of a private contractor �vho is responsible for disposal of collected waste. The Village equipment yard is less than three (3) years old and contains 100% of its stormwater on,site. The Village has no maintenance shops, all maintenance and repairs are out-sourced to the private sector. � Swales are the most commonly used stormwater detention practice by the Village of Tequesta. Village staff performs annual swale inspections. Inspections and nnaintenance include: • Removing compost, leaves, grass clippings and debris. • Minimization of fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. • Perforation of soils to maintain percolation rates. -16- � 4.4. FLOOD MANAGEMENT � The Village currently has a Comprehensive Emergency 4peration Management �Plan. The management plan includes a flood management program through its Police and Fire Departments for emergency evacuation, early preparation, implementation, and the necessary steps for flood control. The management plan includes pre-storm inspections of existing, new arid xedeveloped control structures. 4.5 MUNICIPAL FACILITIES � The Village does not have any municipally operated solid waste transfer stations. 4.6 PEST�CIDES, HERBICIDES, FERTILIZER USAGE - The application of pesticides and herbicides are contracted th�ough privat� conf�actors. The � Village does not perforni this function. -Both the Publie Works Department and private contractors only within Village right-of- ways and property perform the application of fertilizers. � T t Pollutants caused by these applications will be greatly redueed by the implementation of the swale rehabilitation program. � . 4.7 �LLICZT INSPECTION, INVESTYGATION, ENFORCEMENT , Enforcement actions are through the Village Fire Department. The Village Fire Department goes through extensive training to .ensure proper containment, enforcement and reporting. Illicit discharges discovered by the stormwater ufilities staff through the inspection process are reported to the Fire Department for processing. Infiltration of sanitary seepage procedures were developed and put into effect this permit year. _ No infiltration problems were identified through the dry weather screening program. 4.8 FIELD SCR.EENING � Dry weather screening has been performed at all outfalis within the Village and no illicit discharges were detected at that time. Further inspections will be perfornied as required by the NPDES permit. 4.9 SPILL RESPONSE Spill prevention and response is handled by the Village Fire Department. Any illicit spills detected by the Stormwater Utilities staff is reported to them for remedial action. 4.10 PUBLIC REPORTING OF ILLICIT DISCHARGES Complaint log and illicit discharge documentation has beeii established and is maintairied by the Village Fire Department. None have occurred to date. . � -17- � The public awareness is a joint effort by both the Fire Department and the Stormwater Utilities through brochures and the Village Newsletter, which is distributed annually, to all � Village residents. � 4.11 OIL/HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE � The Village ti�ill use the Palm Beacli County Solid Waste Auiliority aiid tlieir faciliiies to handle the disposal of oils and household hazardous waste. The Village, through its newsletter, has been and will continue to keep the public informed on �vhat is a hazardous materiaT and how to dispose of it. . 4.12 SANIT�.RY SEWER SEEPAGE The Village does not own any sanitary sewer systems. ENCON owns and operates the sanitary sewer system in the Village. ENCON has there own programs to monitor the. sanitary setiver system, therefore, any illicit discharges detected will be reported to ENCON for corrective measures. tT 4.13 HIGH I2ZSK INDUSTRIAL FACTLITY INSPECTION The Village does not have any high-risk industrial facilities to inspect. They fall under the jurisdiction of other regulatory agencies: 4.14 MONITORING ACTIVITIES The Village has identified two potential high-risk facilities that discharge to MS4; however, they are not considered high priority facilities. These facilities were identified in the year two Annual Report. The two potential high-risk facilities are being inspected under separate programs that include a Palm Beach County Wellfield Operating Permit for the Police Department site and SARA TITLE III for Tequesta Country Club site. The dry weatlier screening program was completely performed in the second year of the program and no illicits were identified. Surface water quality monitoring has been performed and no illicits have been reported. 4.15 CONSTRUCTION PLANNING PROCEDURES The Village has developed a 10-Year Program for irnplementing stormwater projects and swale reconstruction and maintenance. Included in this Program are: • Development of the LOS for each drainage basin • Swale policy and implementation program • Engineering analysis for two (2) major drainage basins within the Country Club Community. � Additional practices and principles will be added to the program as applicable or required. -18- - 4.16 CONSTRUCTION INSPECTIONS ' The Stormwater Utility staff inspects all control strucfure facilities and outfalls on a regular basis. In addition, utility staff utilizes weather forecasts to inspect the �stormwater utility for pre-storm purposes. The Department of Community Development has the responsibility to inspect all.new and reconstruction projects to ensure compliance �vith all codes and permits. "1'lie Fire Department and Code Enforcement is respor�sible for enforcement of illicit and illegal discharges into storni sewers and reporting of same. 4.17 EDUCATION ACTIVITIES The Village encourages all employees to pursue continuing education, as the permit requires the Village will implement employee education programs to ensure permit compliance. In this permit year, two (2) Utilities Department employees attended and completed certificatiori programs provided through this program. A1So, the Utilities Director obtained Certification from. the Florida Water Protection Control Operators Association. In addition, the Village, through its local newsletter, keeps Village residents -_- informed as to the requirements of the NPDES perniit as well as local code requirements. The Village has educational programs and established guidelines for construction of t � swales. � 4.18 ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES No additional activities are scheduled other than those mentioned above. 4:19 Progress Report to Individual Annual Report (Year Three) See Progress Report. � -19- SECTION 4.19 — PROGRESS REPORT (YEAR THREE) �..
