1 Costs of Stormwater Management and How to Structure a Stormwater Utility Richard Claytor, P.E. Horsley Witten Group, Inc How to Fund Your Municipal Stormwater Program April 30, 2009 Peabody Institute Library of Danvers Danvers, MA Agenda Costs Considerations for Municipal Stormwater Program Elements of Program Level of Service Setting up a Stormwater Utility Bylaw Implementation Considerations NPDES Phase II Program (US EPA, 2003 Pending 2009) NPDES Phase II Stormwater Permit Program: Federal mandate under Clean Water Act Develop a stormwater management program including the six minimum control measures Implement stormwater management program and develop measurable goals Goal is to improve water quality improvement

2 Stormwater Program Elements For NPDES Phase II communities, at a minimum, according to US EPA: MM1: Public Education and Outreach MM2: Public Involvement and Participation MM3: Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination MM4: Construction Site Runoff Control MM5: Post Construction Runoff Management MM6: Municipal Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping They really require these too: XX: Maintenance YY: Program Evaluation and Reporting Program Factors Influencing Cost 1. Public Education and Outreach 2. Public Involvement and Participation 3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination 4. Construction Site Runoff Control 5. Post-Construction Runoff Management 6. Municipal Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping 7. Maintenance 8. Program Evaluation and Reporting Size of community Target Audience Extent of behaviors to target/modify Level of existing watershed awareness Ability to tie into other municipal education programs Type of education and outreach media used (e.g. radio) 2 messages to each audience/5 years Presence of Watershed Association or other non-profit Number of available volunteer activities/programs (e.g. tree planting, rainbarrel programs) Municipal Education Coordinator on staff Measuring Success

7 What Are Stormwater Retrofits? Retrofits are stormwater management measures inserted in an urban or ultra-urban urban landscape where little or no prior stormwater controls existed. Classification of Retrofitting Techniques Offsite Storage Onsite Nonresidential Onsite Residential Implementation costs typically range from $10,000 to $40,000 per acre of drainage area Typical Locations for Storage Retrofits: Existing Stormwater Management Facilities Copyright 2000, CWP

8 Copyright 2000, CWP Typical Locations for Storage Retrofits: Highway ROWs

9 Typical Locations for Storage Retrofits: Storm Drain Outfalls Typical Locations for Storage Retrofits: Large Parking Lots

10 Program Factors Influencing Cost 1. Public Education and Outreach 2. Public Involvement and Participation 3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination 4. Construction Site Runoff Control 5. Post-Construction Runoff Management 6. Municipal Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping 7. Maintenance 8. Program Evaluation and Reporting Level of service Public vs private In-house or private inspectors Conduct routine vs long-term inspections Develop maintenance tracking system (e.g., web or GIS based ) Develop maintenance and inspection checklists Conduct maintenance/repair for BMPs, outfalls, pipes, culverts and utilities Dedicated staff Technology requirements
