Rapid
City's Stormwater Permit Application
and 5-Year Program Outline
New
federal regulations, referred to as the Phase II stormwater Rule, require
small Municipal Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) to obtain a stormwater permit.
Phase II is specific to municipalities over 10,000 population (Rapid
City), areas with an urban density of 1000 people/square mile (areas
in Pennington County on the NW edge of Rapid City and east central edge
of Rapid City), voluntary participants (Sturgis and Spearfish), and
state designated participants due to water sensitivity. Phase II also
requires stormwater permits for all construction activity disturbing
more than one acre.
The City of Rapid
City submitted an application for authorization to operate under South
Dakota's General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from Small Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer Systems, on March 7, 2003. South Dakota DENR issued
Rapid City authorization to operate under this General Permit on April
25, 2003. A copy of the permit application in PDF format and 5-year
program outline follow.

Rapid City is automatically
required to comply with Phase II stormwater permitting requirements
because the City has a population greater than 10,000. Phase II is a
federally mandated program originating from the Clean Water Act. An
amendment to the Act in 1987 required a two-phase implementation of
a comprehensive stormwater program to improve water quality. Phase
I affected medium and large urban areas.
Rapid Creek and
Box Elder Creek are both affected by Rapid City's stormwater run-off.
Their locations and urban growth increase the potential impacts. Rapid
Creek's uses include a domestic water supply, a permanent coldwater
fishery, and total immersion recreation waters. Box Elder Creek has
the same uses except domestic water supply. These uses require the highest
water quality.
Storm water runoff
from lands modified by human activities can harm surface water and cause
or contribute to exceedances of water quality standards by changing
where water naturally flows and how fast it flows, destroying aquatic
habitat, and increasing pollutant concentrations and loadings. Common
pollutants include oil and grease from roadways and parking lots, pesticides
from lawns, sediment from construction sites, and carelessly discarded
trash, such as cigarette butts, paper wrappers, and plastic bottles.
Urban development
increases the amount of impervious surface in a watershed as farmland,
forests, and meadowlands are converted into buildings with rooftops,
driveways, sidewalks, roads, and parking lots with virtually no ability
to absorb stormwater. Storm water and snowmelt runoff wash over impervious
areas, picking up pollutants along the way while gaining speed and volume
because of their inability to disperse and filter into the ground.
The
Program
The following pages
define the Stormwater Program for the City of Rapid City. Each program
objective has annual goals, contains a short explanation, and specifies
the measurement of efforts toward meeting each goal. The program will
have an overall director/coordinator and task implementation is initially
assigned to existing City Public Works Divisions.
Options for financing
the program are still in discussion. Two viable options include user
fees and general fund revenue. Funding must cover program administration,
ongoing education, operations, maintenance, inspection, enforcement
and capital improvements.
