Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program

The 1987 Amendments to the Clean Water Act were a two-phased comprehensive
national program to address pollutants in storm water runoff. The program
covers construction sites, industrial activities, and municipal storm
sewer systems.
These storm water regulations are part of the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program. Following
these storm water regulations to improve water quality by reducing or
eliminating polluted storm water runoff, the City of Edina developed a
plan to reduce or eliminate the exposure of oil and grease, pesticides,
fertilizers, sediment, de-icing salts and other chemicals used by the City
to storm water. The City also developed Best Management Practices (BMPs)
to reduce or eliminate the exposure of City activities into the storm
water system.
