RE: Approve and Submit Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources
2021 Storm Water Program Annual Report
BACKGROUND
The City of Oshkosh received coverage under the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR)
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) General Permit on January 2, 2007. In May 2014, the City of
Oshkosh received notification this coverage was extended to include the newly-released version of the MS4
General Permit. This permit requires the City to comply with the following six (6) minimum control measures
(as mandated by the Federal Clean Water Act and the Environmental Protection Agency):
1. Public Information and Education Plan
2. Public Involvement and Participation Program
3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Program
4. Construction Site Pollutant Control Program
5. Post-Construction Storm Water Management Program
6. Pollution Prevention Program (prevent pollution from the daily operations of the City)
The Storm Water Utility Appeals Board reviewed, provided feedback, and recommended approval of the
Annual Report. All feedback has been incorporated into the annual report.
ANALYSIS
The annual report contains information on the activities performed by the City of Oshkosh in compliance with
the MS4 Permit requirements. All information is entered on the WDNR website through the online forms. In
addition to the information requested in the online forms, a document containing supplemental information that
the forms did not have room to enter was prepared and uploaded as an attachment. City staff has more details
available for the WDNR, should they request to clarify any information.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no anticipated fiscal impact from the approval of this resolution.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the resolution.

City of Oshkosh
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
During the summer of 2021, Westwood Infrastructure, Inc. (Westwood) assisted the City of
Oshkosh with inspecting the outfalls in the City’s municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4)
for potential illicit discharges. Following the Illicit Discharge Ongoing Screening Program that
was revised in 2021, Westwood inspected 90 of the approximately 462 MS4 outfalls identified in
the City. The inspections consisted of a visual screening along with a chemical analysis of any
dry-weather flow that was present. The inspections revealed 22 outfalls with evidence of
potential or obvious illicit discharges, primarily manholes with trapped floating debris.
BACKGROUND
Purpose
Under Section 2.3.2 of the Wisconsin Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (WPDES) Permit
No WI-S050075-3 (“permit”), the City of Oshkosh is required to conduct ongoing dry weather
field screening of all outfalls during the term of the permit to detect potential illicit discharges.
Under the MS4 permit, an outfall is defined as “the point at which storm water is discharged to
waters of the state or leaves one municipality and enters another.” The MS4 is defined as “a
conveyance or system of conveyances including roads with drainage systems, municipal streets,
catch basins, curbs, gutters, ditches, constructed channels or storm drains, which meets all of
the following criteria:
1. Owned or operated by a municipality.
2. Designed or used for collecting or conveying storm water.
3. Which is not a combined sewer conveying both sanitary and storm water.
4. Which is not part of a publicly owned wastewater treatment works that provides
secondary or more stringent treatment.”
When applied to the City of Oshkosh, the MS4 permit requires ongoing screening of the road
ditch or storm sewer outfalls where the outfalls discharge to a water of the state (i.e., a
navigable or non-navigable stream, lake, or wetland) or where they discharge into an adjacent
municipality or to a county or state highway right-of-way.
Each outfall is classified as “major” or “minor.” A “major outfall,” as defined by the MS4 permit,
is an MS4 outfall that meets one of the following criteria:
1. A single pipe with an inside diameter of 36 inches or more or equivalent conveyance
(cross sectional area of 1,018 square inches) which is associated with a drainage area of
more than 50 acres.
2. A municipal separate storm sewer system that receives storm water runoff from lands
zoned for industrial activity that is associated with a drainage area of more than 2 acres
or from other lands with 2 or more acres of industrial activity, but not land zoned for
industrial activity that does not have any industrial activity present.
Outfalls not meeting the definition of a major outfall are considered “minor outfalls.”
Westwood has also worked with the WDNR to develop a third class of outfalls – “supplemental”
outfalls. Supplemental outfalls are storm sewer outfalls which may not meet the legal definition
of an outfall according to the MS4 general permit but should be included in an ongoing field

City of Oshkosh
screening program. The majority of the supplemental outfalls are detention basin inlets, which
do not discharge directly to a water of the state, and therefore are not technically outfalls.
However, sampling the detention basin inlets is an important component of the overall
screening process, as illicit discharges are more likely to be discovered at the detention basin
inlets rather than at the detention basin outfall.
The current MS4 map for the City of Oshkosh consists of 462 outfalls, including:
• 98 major outfalls
• 246 minor outfalls
• 118 supplemental outfalls
These numbers are updated each year as outfalls are located during the ongoing field screening
program and modifications are made to the MS4. A map showing the MS4 outfalls is included in
Appendix A.

City of Oshkosh Ongoing Screening Summary Report – 2021 Inspection Year (December 16,
2021) (This document)
The 2015 revision to the Ongoing Screening Program implemented the “priority outfall” concept
that was introduced by the WDNR in a March 2012 guidance document. These priority outfalls
are outfalls that have the highest likelihood of a potential illicit discharge based on the
characteristics of the drainage basins for each outfall. The priority outfalls are scheduled to be
screened annually, while the non-priority outfalls are screened less frequently (every five years
for major outfalls, every ten years for non-major outfalls). The current version of the program
includes 41 priority outfalls.
The 2021 outfall screening followed the 2021 revision to the Ongoing Screening Program. The
priority outfalls were screened, along with a subset of the non-priority outfalls. Based on the
field observations during the screening, the Ongoing Screening Program may be modified
slightly for future years.
December 16, 2021 4 2021 Ongoing Screening Summary Report
City of Oshkosh
The outfalls that were included in the 2021 screening program are shown in Appendix A, and the
associated outfall inspection reports are included in Appendix B. The City may need to include
these results in the annual report required by the MS4 permit due March 31, 2022.
Screening Methodology
Westwood’s outfall screening methodology loosely follows the procedures outlined in ILLICIT
DISCHARGE DETECTION AND ELIMINATION: A GUIDANCE MANUAL FOR PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT AND
TECHNICAL ASSESSMENTS (Center for Watershed Protection / Robert Pitt, October 2004). The
procedures were modified to comply with the MS4 permit requirements and have evolved after
several years of experience and discussions with the WDNR.
Outfalls that have been previously inspected are located with the assistance of GPS. For outfalls
that have not been previously inspected, the available MS4 mapping is used to physically locate
the outfall, and then the GPS location is recorded to assist with future inspections. The physical
properties of the outfall are then recorded – type of outfall, dimensions, material, and discharge
location. A photograph of the outfall is taken to show the general location and configuration.
After the physical properties have been recorded, the outfall and surrounding area are screened
for indicators of current or past illicit discharges. Sample indicator parameters include floatable
material, gross solids, odors, stains, color of water, turbidity, abnormal vegetation and benthic
growth. If any of these physical indicators are observed, they are further described and
quantified. A close-up photograph is taken of the actual discharge of the outfall, showing any
indicator parameters or flow from the outfall. A short video of the flow is also taken to
document the magnitude of the flow or the lack of flow at the time of inspection.
The MS4 permit specifies that the outfalls be screened during periods of dry weather. Outfall
inspections are typically conducted in the summer months to avoid the effects of snowmelt
runoff in the storm sewer system. Westwood generally waits for a minimum of 48 hours
following a runoff-producing rainfall event to conduct the outfall screening. This typically allows
sufficient time for the stormwater to discharge through the drainage area and outfall. If, after 48
hours, the outfall still has flow, a sample is collected and screened for chemical indicators of an
illicit discharge. While the actual list of chemical parameters is specific to each outfall, most
flowing outfalls are screened for the following parameters:
• pH
• Chlorine (total chlorine and free chlorine)
• Detergents
• Ammonia
• Temperature
• Conductivity
In some cases, outfalls can be either partially or fully submerged. A partially submerged outfall is
an outfall where the elevation of the invert is below the water level of the receiving water. A
fully submerged outfall is a pipe that is entirely below the water surface. In either condition, the
receiving water is “backed up” into the discharging pipe or channel and is not free-flowing.
Under these conditions, if a sample is collected at the outfall point, the sample could consist
almost entirely of the receiving water.
In the case of partially or fully submerged outfalls, Westwood developed a sampling procedure
that was approved by WDNR. The submerged outfall is screened for physical indicators.
However, the flow sample is collected from the first access point (i.e., manhole, catchbasin, curb

City of Oshkosh
inlet) upstream of the outfall. This reduces the influence of the receiving water. Typically, if
there is no flow or pooled water at the upstream location, then no sample is collected. For all
upstream sampling, a note is made of the distance and land use of the area between the outfall
and the upstream area to assess the potential for illicit connections between the outfall and the
upstream location.
In the event that the physical or chemical indicators show that there is a potential ongoing illicit
discharge, the Illicit Discharge Coordinator of the municipality is contacted. If requested,
Westwood then assists the municipality with attempting to identify the source of the discharge,
usually by inspecting and/or sampling additional upstream points to attempt to isolate a
particular branch of the MS4 network.
While not expressly required by the MS4 permit, Westwood also conducts a physical condition
assessment for each outfall. The inspector identifies any graffiti, damage, erosion or deposition
present at the outfall and assigns a severity. This information is provided to the municipality to
assist with maintenance activities.
A detailed outfall report is generated for each outfall that is inspected. The outfall report
includes the general outfall information that was collected, along with detailed inspection
results for each inspection conducted at the outfall. This provides a comprehensive history of
the inspection results for the outfall as multiple inspections are performed over the life of the
outfall.
Detailed inspection reports for each outfall are included in Appendix B. Some general
observations from the field screening are noted in the following sections.
RAINFALL AND FLOW
Rainfall
Outfall inspections were conducted in the City of Oshkosh on the following dates:
• August 16, 2021
• August 17, 2021
• August 23, 2021
• August 31, 2021
All inspections were performed at least 48 hours after the last runoff-producing rainfall.
Flow
To meet the requirement of dry weather screening, outfalls were typically screened at least 48
hours after the previous runoff-producing rainfall event. In general, a minimum of 72 hours was
used when possible. The distribution of the flow intensity of the outfalls (not including upstream
sampling points) is shown in Figure 1.
December 16, 2021 6 2021 Ongoing Screening Summary Report
City of Oshkosh
Figure 1 – Flow intensity at outfall
Submerged outfalls, along with their sampling protocol, are described in the next section.
If dry weather flow was found during the field screening, a sample was collected and analyzed
for the presence of indicator parameters. The analysis conducted is discussed in a later section.
Not all flow is an indicator of an illicit discharge. Following a significant rainfall event, surface
water and groundwater elevations can be higher than normal. Much of the observed flow may
originate from sump pump discharges, detention basin discharges, permitted discharges, and
infiltration into the storm sewer system.
December 16, 2021 7 2021 Ongoing Screening Summary Report
City of Oshkosh
Submerged Outfalls
Most of the outfalls in the City were located at or below the normal levels of their respective
receiving waters. Of the 90 inspected outfalls, 30 were partially submerged, and 37 were fully
submerged (Figure 2). Of the 37 fully submerged outfalls, 28 could not be physically located.
Figure 2 – Submerged status of outfalls
Submerged outfalls were screened at a representative upstream location (i.e., first upstream
manhole), if one was available. If flow or a submerged pool was present in the upstream
location, a sample was collected. If a representative upstream location was not available, a
sample was collected from the submerged pool at the outfall. Sampling locations are noted on
the individual outfall inspection reports in Appendix B.
PHYSICAL INDICATOR ASSESSMENT
All outfalls, regardless of whether they exhibited dry-weather flow at the time of inspection,
underwent an extensive assessment for physical indicators of past or current illicit discharges.
The physical indicators are grouped into eight categories, and each category is assigned a
severity rating based on the observed conditions, along with a qualitative description, if
applicable. The eight categories of physical indicators are described below.
Floatables
Floatables include petroleum sheens, suds, algae, and evidence of raw sewage. These conditions
would typically be observed in an area of stagnant water, such as a downstream pool or an
upstream manhole, although some may be observed in the actual flow. Some conditions
(petroleum sheens and sewage) are almost always the result of an illicit discharge. Other
floatables, like suds and algae, can have non-illicit sources, but their presence can also indicate
the potential for an illicit discharge, and the source should be traced.

City of Oshkosh
Vegetative debris and solid waste (litter) can also float, but these substances are included in the
Gross Solids category and are not considered floatables.
A slight severity for floatables indicates isolated occurrences of the substance in the pool or
flow. A moderate severity indicates a broader coverage, including distinct pockets of the
substance. A severe classification typically describes total coverage of the water surface.
Odor
Clean stormwater should have no odor. Odors may be caused by the presence of chemicals,
which can indicate a potential illicit discharge. The classification of odor is somewhat subjective
and may vary depending on the inspector. Some of the odor classifications are chemical-based,
and include petroleum, VOC/solvent, chlorine, and sulfur. Other odor classifications are even
more subjective, and include musty, fishy, sewage, and fragrant.
Odor can be difficult to quantify. As a result, the severity is based on the method that it can be
detected. A slight severity for odor indicates that the odor can be detected in the sample bottle.
A moderate severity indicates that the odor can be detected in the flow itself. A severe
classification indicates that the odor can be detected from a distance.
Turbidity
Turbidity is a measure of the clarity of a water sample, reflecting the amount of suspended
solids present in the water. As turbidity increases, the water becomes cloudy and eventually
opaque. Turbidity has a negative impact on aquatic life, as it prevents sunlight from penetrating
the water.
Turbidity is frequently caused by soil erosion that occurs upstream of the outfall. The soil
erosion can be accelerated by poor erosion control management practices. Active construction
sites and highly eroded areas are common sources of turbidity.
While turbidity can be measured directly using an instrument like a turbidimeter, the relative
turbidity of each outfall sample was assessed qualitatively. A slight severity for turbidity
indicates that the sample appeared slightly cloudy in the sample bottle. A moderate severity
indicates that the sample exhibits significant cloudiness. A severe classification was used for a
sample that was opaque in the sample bottle.
Color
Stormwater typically should be clear, with no apparent color. Certain tints and colors can
indicate the presence of substances that could be a potential illicit discharge. Some tints can be
caused by natural substances, such as tannins in leaves and vegetative debris causing a slight
brown tint. High concentrations of suspended solids can cause orange tints (clay), brown tints
(loam) or gray-black tints (organic materials). Certain colors (i.e., red, blue and green) are almost
never naturally occurring, and likely indicate an illicit discharge.
Color is most easily assessed in the sample bottle. The sample bottle can be compared to a
bottle of deionized water as a standard. The general color of the sample is noted, along with the
relative severity. A slight severity for color indicates that the color is faint in the sample bottle. A
moderate severity indicates that the color is easily detected in the sample bottle. A severe
classification indicates that the color can be observed in the actual flow or pool, outside of the
sample bottle.

Vegetation
The health of the vegetation in the area surrounding the outfall can be an indicator of potential
illicit discharges from the outfall. Various chemicals in an illicit discharge can inhibit or kill the
vegetation in the areas surrounding the outfall. Discharges with high nutrient levels –
particularly fertilizer runoff – can significantly increase the amount of vegetation around the
outfall.
Because outfalls provide a water source, the vegetation around outfalls is typically more
productive than areas farther from the outfall, particularly during dry periods. It is important to
distinguish between increased vegetation due to available water and excessive vegetation due
to nutrients in the runoff. True vegetation impacts due to chemicals or nutrients appear to be
rare compared to other physical indicator parameters.
The “vegetation” indicator parameter does not apply to vegetation growing inside the outfall
pipe or on the pipe apron. This condition is evaluated under the “benthic growth” parameter.
Vegetation effects were classified as either “inhibited” or “excessive.” The severity was
subjectively assigned based on the extent of the vegetation impact that was observed, ranging
from slight to severe.
Benthic Growth
Due to the presence of nutrients, organic materials and moisture, outfall pipes and aprons can
commonly host vegetation that grows on the sides and bottoms of the structures. This is
particularly common in concrete pipes, which are more porous, but can occur on nearly all pipe
materials. The vegetation encountered is typically algae, moss and lichens.
Some degree of benthic growth is present on nearly all storm sewer outfall pipes and appears to
increase with age. The presence of benthic growth alone is not typically a reason to classify an
outfall as a potential illicit discharge. However, severe cases of benthic growth, especially when
combined with other indicators, can be used to classify and trace illicit discharges.
The color of the benthic growth is noted on the inspection report. Green benthic growth is most
common in outfalls with sunlight. Brown benthic growth is more common in outfalls with
limited sunlight. Other colors, such as orange, can sometimes be present.
The severity of the benthic growth is determined by a subjective analysis of the thickness of the
vegetation. A slight severity for benthic growth indicates a thin layer, usually a film or the dried
stains of former growth. A moderate severity is used when an actual depth of vegetation can be
observed, typically up to one-half inch deep. A severe classification is used when the vegetation
changes from a short, “fuzzy” layer to longer, more defined plants with stems and leaves.
Stains
Stains inside pipes, aprons, riprap and channels can be good indicators of past illicit discharges.
Clean stormwater typically would not cause stains. However, some non-illicit discharges can
cause stains, including tannins from vegetation (brown), road salt (white), minerals (various
colors) and suspended solids (gray or brown). Most storm sewer pipes will have some degree of
staining due to natural causes, and the stains tend to increase with the age of the structure.
These stains are typically found at either the normal or the high flowline for the pipe.
Abnormal stains are typically indicators of past illicit discharges. Common types of stains in this
category include oil and grease, paint, concrete washout, and iron discharges (rust). It is
December 16, 2021 10 2021 Ongoing Screening Summary Report
City of Oshkosh
important to distinguish between actual iron discharges and normal pipe corrosion, which can
occur in metal pipes, and is not an illicit discharge. Corrosion typically occurs along the invert of
the pipe, where water may collect and corrode the pipe. Rust stains are typically darker streaks,
often originating from a lateral or other incoming pipe.
Stains are useful indicators, since they tend to be persistent, and can often be used to trace the
flow path upstream to a source, even after the original illicit discharge has ended. By screening
outfalls on a regular basis and documenting the stains with photographs, it is possible to
compare the severity of the stains to determine if a discharge is ongoing.
Stains are classified according to the type of stain present (i.e., oil, paint, rust, etc.), as well as
their relative severity. The severity is subjectively assigned based on the extent of the staining
that was observed, ranging from slight to severe. Because of the subjective nature of this rating,
photographs are extremely helpful for documentation.
Gross Solids
The Center for Watershed Protection adopted the concept of Gross Solids regarding illicit
discharge detections. Gross solids are materials that are larger than fine solids (silt and clay) and
coarse solids (fine sand, fine gravel, and detritus). Gross solids consist primarily of litter (human
derived trash larger than 4.75 mm), organic debris (leaves, branches, seeds, twigs and grass
clippings larger than 4.75 mm), and coarse sediments (inorganic breakdown products from soils,
pavement or building materials greater than 0.075 mm).
The type of gross solid most frequently encountered during outfall inspections appears to be
litter (garbage). These materials typically enter the storm sewer from an upstream catchbasin or
inlet. Paper, plastic and foam are frequently encountered in manholes, where they can become
trapped as they float on the surface. These materials can also travel down storm sewer pipes
and swales, ultimately discharging at the outfall.
Vegetative debris, including leaves and grass clippings, can also enter the storm sewer through
catchbasins and inlets and travel to the outfall. As with litter, an attempt is made to determine if
the vegetative debris traveled through the storm sewer or was deposited at the outfall in
another manner.
Coarse sediment is encountered less frequently than litter and vegetative debris. Most of the
sediment encountered during outfall inspections is fine sediment that travels through the storm
sewer and is deposited at the outfall. This sediment is included in the “Deposition” category of
the Physical Condition Assessment on the report, and the sediment depth is recorded. Sediment
is typically only considered a Gross Solid physical indicator parameter if it appears that the
sediment was illicitly dumped into the storm sewer through a catchbasin, inlet or manhole.
Gross solid severity is similar to the method used for floatables. A slight severity for gross solids
indicates isolated occurrences of the substance in the pool or flow. A moderate severity
indicates a broader coverage, including distinct pockets of the substance. A severe classification
typically describes total coverage of the water surface or manhole.
Observed Conditions
The presence of any physical indicators in the pipe or channel, flow, downstream pool, and
surrounding area were recorded at the time of the inspection. Certain physical indicators, such
as color and turbidity, can only be evaluated if flow or downstream pools are present. (Because
the inspection criteria for physical indicator parameters have evolved over the past several
December 16, 2021 11 2021 Ongoing Screening Summary Report
City of Oshkosh
years, some of the parameters included in the current year’s inspections may not have been
evaluated in previous years, and those parameters may appear as blank or missing data on
earlier reports.)
The presence of one or more physical indicator parameters does not necessarily indicate that an
illicit discharge is occurring or has occurred in the past. Certain physical indicators, such as the
presence of solid waste or oil sheens in the flow, strongly suggest an illicit discharge has recently
occurred. Other indicators, such as staining of the pipe or channel, may indicate that an illicit
discharge occurred in the past, although the exact time is not known. Still other physical
indicators may have natural or non-illicit causes, and the presence of these parameters alone
should not be the grounds for assuming an illicit discharge.
Physical indicators can also be valuable aids when tracing a suspected illicit discharge upstream
to the source. Certain physical indicators – pipe and channel stains in particular – are persistent
and can be used to trace the flow well after the actual flow has stopped.
The physical indicators observed during the outfall inspections are summarized in Figure 3.
Figure 3 – Physical indicator observations
Benthic growth (green and/or brown) and flowline stains were prevalent at many of the outfalls.
These conditions are fairly common and are not typically considered strong indicators of
recurring illicit discharges unless they are particularly severe or occur in conjunction with other
indicators.
In 2021, 16 outfalls were classified as potential illicit discharges partially or entirely because of
the presence of moderate or severe gross solids in their upstream manholes. These outfalls are
discussed in more detail in the Potential Illicit Discharges section of this report. No other outfalls
were classified as potential illicit discharge solely due to physical indicators.

CHEMICAL ANALYSIS
When dry-weather flow is present at an outfall or upstream manhole, chemical indicator
parameters can provide valuable information about whether the flow is an illicit discharge, as
well as providing clues about the potential sources of the flow. Section 2.3.2.b of the general
permit requires that outfalls with dry-weather flow be sampled for pH, total chlorine, total
copper, total phenol and detergents for the initial screening of major outfalls, unless detergent,
ammonia, potassium and fluoride were used as alternate parameters.
Under section 2.3.2.b, the ongoing screening of all outfalls could be modified to include other
parameters. For the ongoing screening program, Westwood tested for the following chemical
indicators, based on the 2021 revision to the ongoing screening program:
• pH
• Temperature
• Conductivity
• Chlorine (total and free)
• Ammonia
• Detergents
Flow samples were collected at all outfalls that exhibited dry-weather flow at the time of the
inspection. For partially submerged or fully submerged outfalls, a sample was collected from the
flow or submerged pool at the first upstream sampling location, or from the outfall pool if an
upstream location was not available. A total of 64 stormwater samples were collected and
analyzed as part of the ongoing screening process in 2021. Of these samples, 22 were from flow
streams, and 42 were from pools. (Samples associated with follow-up inspections are not
included in these totals.)
The indicator parameters, testing methods, and results are explained in the sections that follow.
pH
Background
The pH of a stormwater sample can be used to detect the presence of illicit substances in the
flow. Neutral water has a pH of 7.0. However, unpolluted rainwater commonly has a pH of 5.0 to
6.0, due to the conversion of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to carbonic acid. The presence
of pollutants in the atmosphere can cause the formation of additional hydrochloric and/or nitric
acid in the rainwater, which will further lower pH. The pH of the runoff is typically raised as it
reacts with carbonates and other alkaline materials in the rocks and soil. Contact with concrete
pipes and channels also raises the pH of the runoff.
The typical pH range for stormwater runoff is from 6.0 to 9.0. Samples with a pH lower than 6.0
or higher than 9.0 would be suspect for illicit discharges. Possible sources of high or low pH
include industrial discharges and concrete truck washout.
Testing Method
During the ongoing screening program, Westwood tested the pH of the outfall samples with a
Hach Pocket Pro+ Multi 2 Tester handheld pH/conductivity/temperature meter, which displays
the pH reading to 0.01 pH units. The probe was periodically calibrated at 4.01, 7.00 and 10.01
December 16, 2021 13 2021 Ongoing Screening Summary Report
City of Oshkosh
pH values. The pH reading was taken in the sample bottle as soon as possible after the sample
was collected from the outfall, as the pH of the sample can change over time.
Results
The pH results for the pH samples are shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4 – pH sample results
The pH values ranged from 6.71 to 8.80. None of the samples exhibited pH values outside of the
normal range, so none of the samples were considered suspect due to pH.
Temperature
Background
While not included in the list of parameters required by the general permit, the temperature of
a stormwater sample can be useful in determining if the flow is originating from an illicit source.
Because most stormwater is conveyed in underground pipes, the temperature of the flow at the
outfall is typically expected to be similar to the ground temperature which is often cooler than
the ambient temperature in summer. However, stormwater that passes through open channels
or ponds upstream of the outfall can be heated directly by the sun and may be close to ambient
temperature or even slightly warmer. Temperature is normally only a consideration when the
runoff is significantly lower than the ground temperature or higher than the ambient
temperature, which can indicate the presence of an industrial discharge. For example, cooling
water or process water is typically significantly warmer than the ambient temperature.
Surface temperatures were typically 45 °F or warmer during the inspections. As a result, the
“normal” temperature range was set at 45 °F to 90 °F. Any samples outside of this range could
contain flow other than stormwater runoff.
Testing Method
During the ongoing screening program, Westwood recorded the temperature of the outfall
samples with a Hach Pocket Pro+ Multi 2 Tester handheld pH/conductivity/temperature meter,

which displays the temperature reading to 0.1 °F. The temperature reading was taken in the
sample bottle at the same time the pH was tested, as soon as possible after the sample was
collected from the outfall, as the temperature of the small volume of the sample container will
rapidly change.
Results
The temperature results for the samples are shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5 – Temperature sample results
The temperature values ranged from 68 to 86 °F. The samples with the highest temperatures
were collected from locations that could be influenced by solar heating, so the upper values
were not considered suspect. None of the samples exhibited abnormal temperatures, so none
of the samples were considered suspect due to temperature.
Conductivity
Background
While not included in the list of parameters required by the general permit, the conductivity of a
stormwater sample can be useful in determining if the flow is originating from an illicit source
and identifying potential sources of the discharge. Conductivity is a measure of the ability of
water to pass an electrical current. The presence of inorganic dissolved solids (chloride, nitrate,
sodium, calcium, iron, etc.) can increase the conductivity of a water sample. Organic compounds
(oil, alcohol, sugar, etc.) are not good conductors, and therefore have relatively low
conductivities.
Conductivity in surface water is influenced by the local geology. Streams that run through
granite bedrock tend to have lower conductivity because granite is composed of more inert
materials that do not ionize when washed into the water. However, streams that run through
areas with clay soils tend to have higher conductivity because of the higher ionizing potential of

clay. Sanitary sewage can raise the conductivity due to increased levels of chloride, phosphate
and nitrate.
Conductivity is typically measured in siemens, with a typical unit of microsiemens per
centimeter (µS/cm). Distilled water has a conductivity in the range of 0.5 to 3 µS/cm, while
rivers typically have conductivities ranging from 50 to 1500 µS/cm. Conductivity readings above
2000 µS/cm can sometimes be associated with industrial discharges.1
Conductivity values under 2000 µS/cm would be considered to be normal. Samples with
conductivities over 2000 µS/cm would be identified as suspicious, but the discharge would not
be considered a potential illicit discharge unless other indicator parameters (physical or
chemical) were observed.
Testing Method
During the ongoing screening program, Westwood recorded the conductivity of the outfall
samples with a Hach Pocket Pro+ Multi 2 Tester handheld pH/conductivity/temperature meter,
which displays the conductivity reading to 0.01 µS/cm. The conductivity reading was taken in
the sample bottle as soon as possible after the sample was collected from the outfall, as the
conductivity of the sample can change with temperature.
Results
The conductivity results for the samples are shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6 – Conductivity sample results
The conductivity values ranged from 55 to 2,580 µS/cm. Two samples were above the 2,000
µS/cm action limit. Based on other factors, those outfalls may or may not have been classified as
a potential illicit discharge. The illicit discharge potential of the outfalls with elevated
conductivity is summarized in Table 1.

The outfalls that were considered potential or obvious illicit discharges are discussed in more
detail in the Potential Illicit Discharges section of this report.
Chlorine
Background
The presence of chlorine in a stormwater sample usually demonstrates the presence of
substances other than stormwater runoff. Chlorine is typically an indicator of either potable
water (from a chlorinated municipal water supply) or an industrial discharge. It can also be
caused by leaking or draining swimming pools. However, chlorine can also be present in non-
illicit discharges (as defined by the general permit and the City’s illicit discharge ordinance),
including residential car washing, lawn irrigation, hydrant flushing, water main breaks, and
industrial discharges regulated under a WPDES permit. Therefore, the presence of chlorine in a
sample indicates the presence of a non-stormwater source; however, the source should be
identified to determine if it is an illicit discharge.
Dissolved chlorine is measured using three different values: free chlorine, combined chlorine,
and total chlorine. Free chlorine represents the “unbound” chlorine molecules in solution, which
are the most effective for disinfecting. Combined chlorine represents the chlorine molecules
that are bound to other organic molecules, such as chloramines, which are also commonly used
in drinking water disinfection. Total chlorine represents the sum of the free chlorine and the
combined chlorine. The general permit requires sampling for total chlorine.
Action levels were established by Westwood for most chemical indicators. A test result that
exceeds the action level warrants follow-up investigation. In general, the action level for total
chlorine is set at 0 mg/L. Any detection of chlorine indicates the presence something other than
stormwater in the sample. Depending on the source, it may or may not be an illicit discharge.
Testing Method
During the ongoing screening program, Westwood tested the outfall samples for total chlorine
and free chlorine using Hach Free & Total Chlorine Test Strips, 0-10 mg/L. These test strips had
result steps of 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 10 mg/L. The chlorine tests were taken in the sample bottle as
soon as possible after the sample was collected from the outfall, as chlorine can dissipate over
time.
Results
None of the samples tested positive for free chlorine or total chlorine, so none of the samples
were considered suspect due to chlorine.

City of Oshkosh
Ammonia
Background
While not included on the list of required parameters in the general permit, ammonia is a
valuable test parameter to identify potential illicit discharges. Besides being present in industrial
discharges, ammonia can also be an indicator of wastewater or washwater discharges, which are
often indicators of sanitary sewer cross-connections. When tested along with potassium, it is
possible to use the ratio of ammonia to potassium to distinguish between wastewater and
washwater. However, since both typically originate from sanitary sewer, this determination is
not usually required to identify an illicit discharge.
It should be noted that there are also several natural sources of ammonia which do not
constitute an illicit discharge. Waste from pets and wildlife can cause ammonia in the runoff,
particularly if wildlife frequently inhabit the storm sewer pipes and manholes. Storm sewers
connected to stagnant water or wetlands frequently have elevated ammonia levels due to
microbial decay of plant and animal proteins. In addition, ammonia may be present in industrial
discharges with a WPDES permit. Ammonia is also sometimes present in HVAC condensate,
which is allowed to be discharged under the MS4 general permit.
Because of the natural sources of ammonia, the action level for ammonia detections was set at
greater than 1 ppm. Samples with ammonia concentrations of 1 ppm or lower were not
investigated unless additional chemical or physical indicator parameters were present.
Testing Method
During the ongoing screening program, Westwood tested the outfall samples for ammonia using
Hach Ammonia (Nitrogen) Test Strips, 0-6.0 ppm. These test strips had result steps of 0, 0.25,
0.5, 1, 3, and 6 ppm NH3-N. The ammonia tests were conducted in a separate vial of stormwater
taken from the sample bottle as soon as possible after the sample was collected from the
outfall, as the ammonia concentration can dissipate over time.
Results
The ammonia results for the samples are shown in Figure 7.
December 16, 2021 18 2021 Ongoing Screening Summary Report
City of Oshkosh
Figure 7 – Ammonia sample results
The ammonia values ranged from 0 to 0.5 ppm. None of the samples exhibited ammonia
concentrations above the action limit of 1.0 ppm, so none of the samples were considered
suspect due to ammonia.
Detergents
Background
The presence of detergents in the outfall sample is usually an indication of the presence of
wastewater and/or washwater. This is typically the result of a sanitary sewer cross connection
or washwater dumped in or near a stormwater inlet. However, detergent can also be present in
non-illicit discharges (as defined by the general permit and the municipality’s illicit discharge
ordinance), including runoff from residential car washing. Therefore, the presence of detergent
in a sample indicates the presence of a non-stormwater source; however, the source should be
identified to determine if it is an illicit discharge.
There are four main classes of detergents:
• Anionic detergents (negatively charged) – Common in dishwasher detergents, liquid and
powdered laundry detergents, carwash detergents, and shampoo. Anionic detergents
have excellent cleaning properties and high sudsing potential.
• Cationic detergents (positively charged) – Used for germicides, fabric softeners and
emulsifiers. Cationic detergents have poor cleaning properties by themselves but can
help anionic detergents be more effective.
• Nonionic detergents (ionically inert) – Common in hand dishwashing liquids, household
cleaners, and laundry detergents (especially in combination with anionic detergents).
Nonionic detergents are excellent grease removers.
• Amphoteric detergents (negatively or positively charged, based on pH) – Found in
shampoo and cosmetic products due to their mild chemical nature. Amphoteric

detergents are also found in hand dishwashing liquids due to their high sudsing
potential.
Unfortunately, due to the diverse classes of detergents, there is no single test to detect the
presence of all detergents. The most common test – the Methylene Blue Active Substances
(MBAS) test – is only effective in identifying the presence of anionic detergents.
The general permit requires sampling for detergents. In general, the action level for detergents
is set at 0 mg/L. Any detection of detergent indicates the presence something other than
stormwater in the sample. Depending on the source, it may or may not be an illicit discharge.
Testing Method
During the ongoing screening program, Westwood tested the outfall samples for detergents
using MBAS method with the equipment and reagents provided in the Hach Stormwater Test
Kit. This is a colorimetric test method in which the intensity of the color in the reagent can be
used to estimate the anionic detergent concentration. In most cases, a clear result indicates no
detergent in the sample, and a blue tint indicated a positive detection of detergent (see Figure
8).
In some samples with high turbidity, the MBAS test method results in foam or bubbles in the
solution. These bubbles have no impact on the overall test result, and if the bubbles and
solution are clear, the result is a negative test for detergent.

Figure 8 – Typical MBAS Detergent Test Results
Because of the equipment and reagents (including chloroform) used in the MBAS test, the
detergent test was conducted in the office at the end of the day. Westwood’s experience with
samples that have tested positive for detergent show that little dissipation occurs within 48
hours of testing, so same-day testing for detergents was an acceptable approach.
Results
The detergent results for the samples are shown in Figure 9.

The detergent values ranged from 0 to 1.0 mg/L, with six samples showing a positive detection
of detergent. Based on other factors, these outfalls may or may not have been classified as a
potential illicit discharge. The illicit discharge potential of the outfall is summarized in Table 2.

The outfalls with potential or obvious illicit discharges are described in more detail below.
Upstream Manholes with Significant Floatable Debris
During the 2021 ongoing screening program, 16 upstream manholes contained significant
(moderate or severe) amounts of floatable debris (gross solids), including plastic bottles, foam
packaging, and other solid waste, and were classified as potential illicit discharges. This effect
was most pronounced at manholes upstream of a fully submerged outfall, where the storm
sewer pipes within the manhole were also fully submerged. In these cases, any floatable debris
traveling along the top of the storm sewer pipe will enter the manhole and will remain trapped
on the surface of the manhole pool, as they are not able to escape through the submerged
outlet pipe. In these cases, the submerged manhole acts as a trap for much of the floatable
debris.

Figure 11 – Floating gross solids in manhole 05-14 US1
While some may not consider gross solids a true illicit discharge, it does meet the definition of
an illicit discharge, since it is a substance present in the discharge that is not comprised entirely
of stormwater. In most cases, there will be one or more access points which allow the debris to
enter the MS4. Because of this, the presence of significant floatable debris in upstream
manholes caused the illicit discharge potential of the outfall to be raised to “potential.”
Upstream manholes with isolated solid waste or debris (generally three or fewer pieces) are not
included in this list and were not considered potential illicit discharges.
Note that in some cases, sediment and/or vegetation falls into the manhole when the manhole
cover is removed, and those materials also appear in the photos. The severity of the floatable
debris is based on the presence of the original debris and solid waste.
For all 16 of the manholes, the presence of the gross solids was the sole reason for being
classified as a “potential” illicit discharge.
The outfalls with continuing observations of significant floatable debris were classified as
priority outfalls in the revised ongoing screening program. This designation will cause them to
be screened annually. These manholes should be cleaned several months prior to the scheduled
outfall screening. By doing this, it will be possible to determine if the debris is from a prior
discharge, or if the problem is ongoing. If it is determined that it is an ongoing problem,
upstream inlets, especially those located near dumpsters or other solid waste storage areas,
should be closely examined in an attempt to locate the source of the discharge. These areas
could then be targeted for public education campaigns.
A map showing the locations of the manholes with floatable debris is included in Appendix D.
Outfall 06-1709 (Campbell Road)
Outfall 06-1709 consists of a 34x53 inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) that discharges into the
Fox River at the end of the extension of Campbell Road. The outfall was formerly classified as
06-253. The pipe may be the effluent pipe for the wastewater treatment plant. The pipe is fully
submerged.
December 16, 2021 24 2021 Ongoing Screening Summary Report
City of Oshkosh
Figure 12 - Outfall 06-1709 (2021)
Because the outfall is fully submerged, it is screened at the upstream manhole (06-1709 US1)
located approximately 266 feet upstream of the outfall, in the Seniors Center parking lot.
Figure 13 – Upstream manhole 06-1709 US1 (2021)
During previous screenings, the sample collected from the flow in the upstream manhole has
had elevated conductivity and ammonia, along with slight gross solids. During the 8/17/2021
screening, the sample collected from the flow in the upstream manhole had a detergent
concentration of 0.4 mg/L. During a follow-up screening on 8/31/2021, no detergent was
detected.

Outfall 12-2484 (Westwind Road)
Outfall 12-2484 is the 24-inch RCP discharge pipe from the detention basin located between W.
Snell Road and Algoma Boulevard. The pipe discharges to a swale on the north side of Westwind
Road. The discharge ultimately flows west into the Town of Oshkosh.
Figure 14 - Outfall 12-2484 (2021)
During the 8/17/2021 screening, detergent was detected in the sample that was collected from
the submerged flow immediately downstream from the pipe. During a follow-up screening on
8/31/2021, no detergent was detected.
The samples collected from the outfall are summarized in Table 5:

Outfall 16-1205 (Westowne Avenue)
Outfall 16-1205 consists of a 15-inch RCP that discharges the flow from one curb inlet on
Westowne Avenue into the detention basin adjacent to the Shell gas station and McDonalds.
Because the outfall is typically partially submerged, it is sometimes screened at the upstream
curb inlet (16-1205 US1) located approximately 36 feet upstream of the outfall, in Westowne
Ave.

City of Oshkosh
Figure 18 – Outfall 16-1205 (2021)
Figure 19 – Upstream curb inlet 16-1205 US1 (2019)
During previous screenings, the sample collected from the upstream curb inlet sump has tested
positive for detergent. During the 8/17/2021 screening, heavy traffic on Washburn Street
prevented a sample from being collected from the curb inlet, so the sample was collected from
the submerged pool at the end of the outfall pipe. This sample had 0.6 mg/L detergent and
elevated conductivity. During a follow-up screening on 8/31/2021, the water level in the curb
inlet sump was three inches below the outlet pipe, so there was no flow. A sample was collected
from the detention basin for comparison. No detergent was detected in the sample.
The samples collected from the outfall and upstream manhole during prior screenings are
summarized in Table 9:

STATUS OF PRIOR YEAR’S ISSUES
During the 2020 ongoing screening program, 90 outfalls were screened. The screening revealed
18 potential illicit discharges. Those outfalls identified as potential or obvious illicit discharges

were typically recommended to be rescreened in the following year, regardless of their priority
status or inspection schedule.
Table 10 summarizes the issues that were identified in 2020, along with the conditions that
were observed during the 2021 rescreening. Follow-up actions for outfalls that are still listed as
potential or obvious illicit discharges are discussed in greater detail in the “Potential Illicit
Discharges” section of this report. If the rescreening resulted in an unlikely illicit discharge, the
outfall will return to its normal screening schedule.

OUTFALL CONDITION ASSESSMENTS
While not required for the illicit discharge field screening, Westwood’s inspectors noted the
presence of any structural damage, significant deposition or erosion, or graffiti at the outfalls.
This information can be passed along to the appropriate personnel for any necessary action.
Damage
Nine outfalls showed signs of damage that may require attention in the near future. Observed
damage included displaced concrete pipe joints, corrosion and crushing at corrugated metal
pipes (CMP), and undercut pipe ends and aprons.
The outfall damage that was observed during the ongoing screening program is summarized in
Table 11.

Deposition
A total of 16 outfalls showed minor, moderate or severe deposition at the end of the outfall pipe
or channel, or inside the upstream screening location. As deposition increases, flow may
become restricted in the pipe or downstream channel. Outfalls with moderate or severe
deposition may need to undergo maintenance to remove the deposited sediment and debris
and maintain proper flow.

Erosion
Three of the outfalls showed signs of erosion at the end of the outfall pipe or channel. Most of
the outfalls with minor erosion could be repaired with minor landscaping repairs. Those outfalls

with moderate or severe erosion may need additional structural reinforcement, such as turf
reinforcement mat or riprap.
The erosion that was observed during the ongoing screening program is summarized in Table 13.

Outfall Severity Description
13-2135 Minor Minor erosion downstream of outfall (past riprap).
13-3130 Minor Erosion downstream of outfall pipe.
13-471 Severe Streambank erosion downstream from pipe.
The outfall erosion is shown in the photo that follows. The location of the outfall with erosion is
shown on the map in Appendix C.

Graffiti
Graffiti was observed in or around one outfall. The graffiti was not severe but should probably
be monitored to make sure that it does not become more severe.
The graffiti that was observed during the ongoing screening program is summarized in Table 14.

2022 ONGOING SCREENING PROGRAM
The 2021 outfall screening was conducted using the revised Ongoing Screening Program as a
guide. All of the outfalls that had been identified as priority outfalls had been screened, along
with a subset of the non-priority outfalls.
Based on the field observations during the 2021 outfall screening, the current outfall inventory
consists of 462 outfalls, with the following priority classifications:
• 41 priority outfalls
• 85 non-priority major outfalls
• 336 non-priority non-major outfalls
The Ongoing Field Screening Program (2021 revision) specifies that all priority outfalls will be
screened annually. Non-priority major outfalls will be screened at least once every five years,
and non-priority non-major outfalls will be screened at least once every 10 years. A preliminary
screening schedule was developed with the 2021 revision and includes 92 outfalls scheduled for
the 2022 screening program.
In addition, two non-priority outfalls (12-2484 and 13-3921) were identified as having potential
illicit discharges in 2021 and will be re-screened in 2022 to determine if the issues persist.
If any outfalls are added, removed, or modified due to construction, the MS4 map should be
updated, and the outfall screening schedule should be modified as needed.

City of Oshkosh
CONCLUSION
Westwood assisted the City of Oshkosh with the 2021 ongoing screening of the MS4 outfalls, as
required by the MS4 permit. A total of 90 outfalls were screened, along with upstream
monitoring locations when necessary. Of those 90 outfalls, 68 exhibited unlikely potential of
past illicit discharges, and 22 were classified as “potential.” These results are summarized in
Figure 50:
Figure 50 – Illicit discharge potential
Those outfalls classified as “potential” or “obvious” should be given special attention in the
ongoing screening program. In particular, the following actions are recommended:
1. For the 16 manholes with observed gross solids, the City should remove the
accumulated debris (via vacuum truck or manual methods) at least six weeks prior to
the 2022 screening. This will help determine if the discharge of the solid waste into the
storm sewer is ongoing. (Additional upstream manholes could also be inspected and
cleaned if necessary.)
2. Schedule televising of the storm sewer branches that were classified as “potential” illicit
discharges due to chemical indicators. Prioritize those branches that have had
exceedances for multiple years.
The ongoing screening also identified nine outfalls with visible structural damage, 16 with
deposition, three with erosion, and one with graffiti. While none of these posed an immediate
danger, the City may want to address these issues as part of the regular storm sewer system
maintenance.

“Ground Control” – Stormwater for Construction BMPs
This employee training kit is designed to show employees how erosion, sediments and other potential surface water pollutants are controlled at construction
sites. The program focuses on Best Management Practices (BMPs) that are widely used at most construction sites including: silt fence, stabilized
entrances/exits, drop inlet protectors and others. The program illustrates how these BMPs work and how they can fail. (14 minutes)

BMP Master List
The purpose of the Stormwater Quality Management BMP master list is to allow MS4 and Public Works managers to easily search available stormwater and
erosion control BMPs based on target pollutants, WDNR Technical Standards, and keywords. The master list provides insight into the benefits and limitations
of each BMP, allowing the user to have a brief understanding of each device to help guide decision making when implementing or reviewing
projects. The spreadsheet can be found on the NEWSC member resources page on newsc.org and HERE.
Model Ordinance Reference Guides Updated

NEWSC 5 Year Exhibiting Plan
Each year NEWSC will commit to exhibiting at an event on behalf of 20% of our membership, ensuring we exhibit in each member community once during a 5 year
permit cycle. The communities assigned in a given year will be guaranteed a NEWSC presence at a community event during that year, given that the NEWSC
member work with the Outreach Coordinator to get the event on the exhibiting calendar by March 30 and work to coordinate with the event host.

To ensure your space is reserved NEWSC members must:
1. Contact the Outreach Coordinator by March 30 of the year you are scheduled with the name of event, date of the event and contact information for the
event organizer that you would like the Outreach Coordinator to be a part of.
2. Work with the Outreach Coordinator and the event organizer to ensure acceptance of NEWSC participation at the event. Pay any exhibiting fees (if any)
for the event. For most community events, NEWSC members are able to coordinate with event host free exhibit space, if the event chosen does not waive
exhibit fees for the community, those fees are the responsibility of the NEWSC member.
If communities do not schedule the Outreach Coordinator to participate by March 30, invitations to the Outreach Coordinator from other communities for events will
be entertained and all invites will be accepted as time is available on a first come first serve basis. If the Outreach Coordinator is unable to exhibit in your
community due to workload or date of event, NEWSC members may check out exhibiting materials from NEWSC. Promotional materials will be provided as part of
the exhibiting display if NEWSC has promotional items to hand out.

DEWATERING WELL
•True dewatering wells discharging clean water can
be discharged directly to a catch basin
–The hose must fully extend to the catch basin and be
inserted into the back side of the casting opening.
–The dewatering well cannot be located next to an
active trench. Any wells located adjacent to an active
working area must be treated as if they are dirty.
•All dewatering operations must be treated if they
are not a true well
•Brown water discharge is not permitted.
–If you have questions at the start, talk to your
inspector
DEWATERING
WDNR TECH STANDARD 1061
•Dewatering occurs on every site. Preparation
is key to keeping sediment from entering the
storm system.
•Oshkosh soils mostly consist of clay so a
dewatering bag alone WILL NOT be effective.
–Refer to WDNR Technical Standard Matrix
–Dewatering bag WILL ONLY BE EFFECTIVE with
the addition of a polymer
•A combination of multiple treatments is the
most effective method, but pre-planning for
space is required.
TURBIDITY BARRIER
TURBIDITY BARRIER
JOINT NOT CONNECTED
PROPERLY
TURBIDITY BARRIER
MUST EXTEND FULLY TO

TURBIDITY BARRIER
WDNR TECH STANDARD 1069
•Must be installed before any work takes place in a
waterway.
–Make sure your barrier is designed for the flows or
wave action the water body has
•Lake Winnebago is different than Fox River
–The barrier must be securely staked to prevent
floating back to shore
–The barrier must be secured to the waterway bottom
to prevent sediment from escaping
–The barrier must extend from the shore edges
completely around working area
–Must be left in place for 24 hours after work in the
waterway is complete
SILT FENCE

PERIMETER CONTROL DEVICES
NEED WEEKLY INSPECTION OR
AFTER EVERY 1/2” OF RAIN
IF SEDIMENT ACCULULATES TO HALF THE FENCE HEIGHT
CLEAN IMMEDIATELY
SILT FENCE
WDNR TECH STANDARD 1056
•Silt fence can be substituted with sediment logs
–Silt fence shall be installed 6” deep and soil compacted to
securely hold the silt fence.
•Field test your installation by pulling up sharply on the silt fence after
installation. The silt fence should not move.
–The stakes on the silt fence shall be installed on the downstream
side of the silt fence.
–The top of the silt fence shall be tight with no sags between
stakes.
–If silt fence needs to be spliced together, a full twist between
fence pieces is required.
•Another option is to run the silt fence one full segment past each other.
–Silt fence must contain a cord at the top of the fabric
–If silt fence becomes damaged, repair or replace the damaged
section
–Perimeter control devices must be maintained until final
restoration begins
SEDIMENT LOGS
•If utilizing sediment logs:
–Please refer to the manufacturers
recommendations
•What are the staking requirements?
•Is trenching required?
–Some sediment logs require trenching to effectively
control sediment
–Logs must be installed with an overlap at the
end utilizing a shingle technique
SEDIMENT LOGS WORK WELL IF ACCESS IS NEEDED
STOCK PILES
STOCK PILES
•Stock piles are required to have perimeter
control installed around them
•Stock piles that are unused for more than 7
days must be stabilized
–A quick establishing seed is recommended
•Typically oats are used
–A hydro mulch shall be used to lock soil in place
until vegetation is established.
•No straw per city specifications
–If a vegetative cover is not used, a water-proof
covering can be utilized instead.
•A tarp or plastic placed over the entire stock pile.
HYDRO MULCH
ENSURE PROPER COVERAGE OF HYDRO MULCH IN AN EVEN
LAYER OVER ALL EXPOSED SOILS.
TAKE CARE TO ENSURE HYDRO MULCH IS ONLY SPRAYED
OVER EXPOSED SOILS. MULCH SPRAYED ANYWHERE ELSE
SHALL BE CLEANED UP AT CONTRACTORS EXPENSE
HYDRO MULCH IN PLACE OF
EROSION MAT
•Hydro mulch can be used in place of
erosion mat in terraces per engineers
approval.
–Refer to the City of Oshkosh specifications for
pre-approved hydro mulches. If not using a
pre-approved hydro mulch, please submit for
engineers approval before installation.
–Refer to manufacturers recommendations for
installation specifications
RESTORATIONS CAN AND DO FAIL
GIVE YOURSELF ENOUGH TIME TO ESTABLISH VEGETATION
BEFORE WINTER. EROSION MAT ALONE WILL NOT PREVENT
SEDIMENT TRANSPORATION.
EROSION MAT
WDNR TECH STANDARD 1052
•Erosion mat can be either short-term or long-term
–In Urban settings, urban class erosion mat and staples
must be installed
•This is generally referenced when mowing will be accomplished
within two weeks after installation.
–Steel staples are not acceptable. Bio staples only.
–Mat utilizing photodegradable netting shall not be
installed after September 1st.
•A biodegradable stitching must be used
–Ensure erosion mat is installed over all disturbed areas
including the area that any perimeter devices where
installed.
–Refer to manufacturers recommendations with staple
pattern.
•City specifications require staples every 12” if mat edge is not
trenched along curb edging, driveway aprons, and sidewalk.

BMP Master List
The purpose of the Stormwater Quality Management BMP master list is to allow MS4 and Public Works managers to easily search available stormwater and
erosion control BMPs based on target pollutants, WDNR Technical Standards, and keywords. The master list provides insight into the benefits and limitations
of each BMP, allowing the user to have a brief understanding of each device to help guide decision making when implementing or reviewing
projects. The spreadsheet can be found on the NEWSC member resources page on newsc.org and HERE.

1. Contact the Outreach Coordinator by March 30 of the year you are scheduled with the name of event, date of the event and contact information for the
event organizer that you would like the Outreach Coordinator to be a part of.
2. Work with the Outreach Coordinator and the event organizer to ensure acceptance of NEWSC participation at the event. Pay any exhibiting fees (if any)
for the event. For most community events, NEWSC members are able to coordinate with event host free exhibit space, if the event chosen does not waive
exhibit fees for the community, those fees are the responsibility of the NEWSC member.
If communities do not schedule the Outreach Coordinator to participate by March 30, invitations to the Outreach Coordinator from other communities for events will
be entertained and all invites will be accepted as time is available on a first come first serve basis. If the Outreach Coordinator is unable to exhibit in your
community due to workload or date of event, NEWSC members may check out exhibiting materials from NEWSC. Promotional materials will be provided as part of
the exhibiting display if NEWSC has promotional items to hand out.

“Ground Control” – Stormwater for Construction BMPs
This employee training kit is designed to show employees how erosion, sediments and other potential surface water pollutants are controlled at construction
sites. The program focuses on Best Management Practices (BMPs) that are widely used at most construction sites including: silt fence, stabilized
entrances/exits, drop inlet protectors and others. The program illustrates how these BMPs work and how they can fail. (14 minutes)

BMP Master List
The purpose of the Stormwater Quality Management BMP master list is to allow MS4 and Public Works managers to easily search available stormwater and
erosion control BMPs based on target pollutants, WDNR Technical Standards, and keywords. The master list provides insight into the benefits and limitations
of each BMP, allowing the user to have a brief understanding of each device to help guide decision making when implementing or reviewing
projects. The spreadsheet can be found on the NEWSC member resources page on newsc.org and HERE.
Model Ordinance Reference Guides Updated
NEWSC’s Construction Site Erosion Control Reference Guide and Post-Construction Pollution Control Reference Guide – the companion documents to

FISH DON’T SWIM IN CHLORINE
Following a few simple steps will prepare your pool water for entering local waterways.
Taking the time to follow the proper procedures when discharging water from
your pool or spa will help keep our local waters a healthy place for fish and other
aquatic life.
DECHLORINATE THE WATER
Water from swimming pools and spas must be dechlorinated prior to discharging
water. Let the water in the pool or spa sit for at least one week to reduce the
chlorine or bromine level until it is undetectable and water temperature is at air
temperature. Measure the pH. It should fall within a range of 6.5 - 8.5 prior to
discharge.
DISCHARGE WATER TO GRASS OR LANDSCAPING
Discharging pool and spa water onto grass or landscaping will allow water to
soak into the earth, where the water will be naturally cleansed prior to entering
local waterways.
If irrigation on site is not possible, water may be discharged off your property -
provided it is directed through a grassed surface prior to entering
a curbline gutter or a paved street.
Do not fertilize prior to discharging pool water.
MONITOR THE DISCHARGE
Do not let water discharge onto your neighbor’s property.
Monitor water as it is discharging to ensure it does not cause
erosion or flooding. Discharge the water in a manner that will
prevent nuisance conditions (such as creation of odors and fly
and mosquito breeding conditions) due to ponding of water for
a prolonged period.
PROTECT LOCAL WATERWAYS
If a pool or spa has been acid washed, the water may not be
discharged off the pool/spa owner’s property. Water from back
flushing pool filters should only be discharged to the sanitary sewer (down a sink
or toilet) or on-site septic tank system where it will be treated prior to entering local
waters.
Remember it is illegal in all communities to discharge pollutants, including
chlorinated pool water, into a storm drain. As a pool or spa owner, you are
responsible for following your municipality’s ordinance for pool and spa
discharge. Contact your municipality for regulations.
Realize
What touches the ground enters the water
Discharging water onto grass or landscaping will allow water to soak into the earth.
Stormwater is rain or snowmelt and water from things people do, like overwatering the lawn or discharging pool water into the street drain. We can choose products carefully and shape our lawns and pavement so water sinks in. When we do, runoff is reduced, pollutants filter out and streams and groundwater are protected.
Untreated runoff is the biggest threat to our nation’s water quality, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Let’s make the small, important changes that will reduce that threat and improve water quality and our lives!

NOTICE OF
CITY OF OSHKOSH
GRASS CUTTING REQUIREMENTS
Residents are reminded that blowing or placing grass clippings, leaves, or other debris
onto the street is prohibited. Storm water runoff carries grass clippings and other debris
on the street pavement surfaces into the storm sewer system. The City of Oshkosh’s
storm water runoff drains directly to local lakes, rivers, and streams. Storm water runoff
is not treated at the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Debris carried by storm water runoff can cause inlets and storm sewers to plug and this
can lead to flooding. Additionally, grass clippings and leaves contain nutrients that help
feed algae blooms on adjoining waterways.
PER MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 25 / STREETS & SIDEWALKS
Section 25-26 Obstructions in Street prohibited
This code indicates that no person shall place or deposit any substance in any
sidewalk or street without a permit. In addition, no person may obstruct or stop
the flow of water in any ditch, sewer, gutter, or culvert along or across any street,
lane, alley, public grounds, or sidewalk in the City.
PER MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 14 / STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
Section 14-30 Discharge Prohibitions
This code indicates that no person shall throw or discharge any pollutants to the
municipal storm sewer system.
Property owners face a potential citation for violation of the Municipal Code.
THIS FORFEITURE IS $232 FOR THE FIRST OFFENSE.
Violators can be
reported to the
Engineering Division
Department of Public Works
at (920)236-5065.
PLEASE HELP KEEP GRASS OUT OF THE STREET, WHICH
WILL MEAN LESS DEBRIS THAT REACHES THE STORM
SEWER SYSTEM. YOUR EFFORTS WILL HELP TO REDUCE
POLLUTION AND ALGAE GROWTH IN LOCAL WATERWAYS.

City of Oshkosh
Residential Stormwater Utility Credit Policy
Residential Credit Policy 10/26/2010
I. Purpose and Scope
The purpose of this Stormwater Utility Credit Policy is to encourage actions by residential
property owners within the city that:
1) Reduce stormwater flows and volumes,
2) Reduce stormwater pollution and
3) Reduce the utility’s costs in providing proper management of stormwater runoff.
As applied to this policy, the term ‘property’ or ‘properties’ will refer to single-family, two-family,
and three-family residential parcels. All other properties are considered non-residential. (NOTE:
a separate stormwater utility credit policy has been established for non-residential properties.)
Credits to user fees will only be allowed when it can be demonstrated by the customer that an
action as described in Section III of this policy has been taken by the customer and the action
meets the guidelines specified in this policy document. This policy does not apply to stormwater
management measures that are owned and/operated by the City of Oshkosh. Properties served
by stormwater management facilities installed to meet state and/or local stormwater regulations
are not eligible for credit from these facilities.
It also should be noted that there are 3 rate categories for single family properties as summarized
below:
Tier Impervious Area ERU Rate
TR 1 Less then 1,750 sq. ft. 0.67 ERU
TR 2 1,750 – 3,750 sq. ft. 1.00 ERU
TR 3 Greater than 3,750 sq. ft. 1.33 ERU
II. Credit Structure
For the purpose of generating applicable credit rates, the municipal stormwater management
services funded through the user fee are divided into two major categories. The credit eligible
category is further divided into two sub-categories.
Category A (utility-wide services) 25%
Category B (credit eligible services)
B1: activities that meet flow management criteria 50%
B2: activities that meet pollution reduction criteria 25%
Fees to support Category A programs are applied throughout the utility customer base and
credits are not allowed for these components. These costs are required to run the City of
Oshkosh’s stormwater management program and these programs benefit all property owners
within the City of Oshkosh.
Only the costs associated with Category B are eligible for a credit. These are costs associated
with the utility’s efforts to maintain the capacity of the stormwater conveyance system and
implement and maintain pollution control practices.
The tasks included under each category, and the percent credit for each category under this
policy may be revised based upon a re-analysis of the stormwater program budget and the
percent distribution of costs by category. Modifications must be approved by Common Council
Page 2 of 6
City of Oshkosh
Residential Stormwater Utility Credit Policy
Residential Credit Policy 10/26/2010
resolution. The approved credit amount will be applied to each stormwater utility bill for as long
as the property owner maintains their credit eligibility status in accordance with this policy.
III. Credit Criteria
Residential properties may be eligible for a credit to their stormwater utility fee under two
circumstances:
1) Installation and maintenance of a Best Management Practice and/or
2) Impervious area that is riparian to a water body.
1. Best Management Practice Credit
The following are common examples of best management practices property owners may install
and maintain to reduce their impact on the city’s stormwater management services. Property
owners must demonstrate the proper installation and agree to maintain the approved best
management practice Property owners installing approved best management practices may be
eligible for up to 75% credit for practices that reduce both the quantity of stormwater runoff (up to
50% credit), and improve the quality of the runoff (up to 25% credit). Eligible best management
practices are:
• Rain Gardens (typically these will qualify for both quantity and quality credit)
Property owners who install a rain garden on their property shall use the UW-Extension
Service Publication (GWQ037): “Rain Gardens A how-to manual for homeowners”.
Copies of this manual are available directly from the UW-Extension Service web address
at
http://clean-water.uwex.edu/pubs/pdf/home.rgmanual.pdf
or from the City of Oshkosh Department of Public Works for a printing fee.
• Rain Barrels (typically these will qualify for quality credit only)
Property owners who install rain barrel(s) must include manufacturer’s literature with their
credit application and state that the manufacture’s guidelines have been followed. For
custom built rain barrels, the property owner must submit photographs of the installed
practice along with the dimensions (height, width, and length) of the practice.
• Other Equivalent Best Management Practices
The credit calculation procedure for each of these best management practices is described on the
forms at the end of this document.
Property owners may submit documentation demonstrating the effectiveness for control of
stormwater quantity and/or quality for alternative management practices not identified in this
policy. The city will review the documentation and determine the suitability for credit of the
alternative management practice.
2. Riparian Credit
Properties that are directly riparian to the following water bodies: Lake Butte des Morts, Fox
River, or Lake Winnebago are eligible for this credit. (Constructed channels adjacent to Lake
Page 3 of 6
City of Oshkosh
Residential Stormwater Utility Credit Policy
Residential Credit Policy 10/26/2010
Winnebago, Fox River, or Lake Butte de Morts are considered riparian. See map attached to this
document for the areas designated as “constructed channels for purposes of this policy).
Residential property impervious areas that drain directly to one of these water bodies without
entering into the municipal stormwater conveyance system are eligible for up to 50% credit. The
property owner is only eligible for the quantity portion of the utility credit under the Riparian Credit
Section of this policy.
For example: a property with one half of the impervious area draining directly to an eligible water
body would receive a 25% credit.
Unless the property owner provides evidence (such as photographs showing drainage slopes on
the property) that more than one half of their impervious area drains directly to an eligible water
body, the property shall receive a 25% credit (1/2 the maximum allowed).
IV. Credit Request Submittal Requirements
The Director of Public Works (or designee) shall review credit request submittal for compliance
with this policy.
1. Review Fee
The following non-refundable review fee is required with each application:
a. Property owners requesting Best Management Practice Credit: $10.00
b. Property owners requesting Riparian Credit of 25%: $10.00
c. Property owners requesting a Riparian Credit greater than 25%: $10.00
d. Property owners requesting Best Management Practice Credit and 25% Riparian
Credit: $10.00
e. Property owners requesting Best Management Practice Credit and Riparian
Credit greater than 25%: $10.00
2. Required Documentation form provided at the end of this document
a. Credit Application Form
The application form is attached to this policy.

Stormwater
Management
What is Stormwater and
Why is it Important?
Stormwater is the water that runs off the land’s
surface when it rains or when snow melts.
Stormwater flows onto streets and into storm sewers
or ditches and is carried directly into nearby lakes
or rivers including Lake Winnebago, Lake Butte des
Morts, Fox River and Sawyer Creek. In Oshkosh,
stormwater is important for two reasons:
1. Flooded streets and property.
2. Pollution of lakes and rivers.
Flooding
An impervious surface, such as a driveway, rooftop or street, does not
allow the rain to soak into the ground. The amount of impervious surfaces
increase when buildings, parking lots, streets and other structures are built
on previously vegetated land. Increased impervious surfaces result in
more water running off the land and can lead to flooding if not managed
properly. Much of the City of Oshkosh is built on flat land. As a result,
stormwater tends to pond in depressions on the land's surface, which can
lead to nuisance conditions. Stormwater flooding can result in private
property damage, hinder emergency vehicle access, endanger public
safety, and damage roads, bridges and other infrastructure.
Pollution
As stormwater flows across driveways, parking lots, lawns, streets and
other surfaces, it picks up pollutants along the way. The pollution comes
from many sources — oil leaking from vehicles, tire and brake lining wear,
lawn fertilizers and pesticides, soil from construction sites, grass clippings,
and litter. Stormwater typically runs directly into streams, rivers and lakes.
When this pollution reaches the lakes and rivers, it can result in nuisance
algae and aquatic weed growth, high bacteria levels, turbid water, toxic
levels of metals or petroleum, and low oxygen levels. The City of Oshkosh,
like almost all cities in Wisconsin, is under state and federal regulations to
reduce stormwater pollution.
City’s Stormwater Management Program
The City of Oshkosh has embarked on an aggressive program to improve
stormwater management for both flood control and pollution reduction.
Stormwater management not only improves safety, protects property, and
enhances water quality. It also promotes a strong business climate by
maintaining an efficient transportation system.
Storm Sewer Improvements
Stormwater Utility Fees are used for many improvements including replacing
existing storm sewer and building new storm sewers. Storm sewers are
usually upgraded as part of the street reconstruction process. Storm sewer
improvement projects replace aging sewers and increases the capacity of the
storm sewer system in order to reduce flooding. Since 2009 the City has
embarked on an aggressive storm sewer construction program. This
program reflects the City’s goals to improve infrastructure, reduce flooding,
and improve water quality. The accompanying graph illustrates the length of
storm sewer installed annually by the storm water utility.
Paying for the Stormwater Management Program
The storm sewer upgrades and other projects listed in this brochure are expensive
but provide great benefits. People in the affected areas have noticed the reduced
flooding in their neighborhoods.
Funding for the City’s stormwater program comes from state and federal grants
and the Stormwater Utility Fee, which was established in 2002. The fee is paid
by every City property owner based upon the amount of impervious surface on
each property. In 2013, Stormwater Utility Fees generated almost $6.3 million
dollars that are used to pay the debt on past projects, help fund new projects
and finance daily operations. Additional projects will be needed to continue
stormwater improvements throughout the City.

“Ground Control” – Stormwater for Construction BMPs
This employee training kit is designed to show employees how erosion, sediments and other potential surface water pollutants are controlled at construction
sites. The program focuses on Best Management Practices (BMPs) that are widely used at most construction sites including: silt fence, stabilized
entrances/exits, drop inlet protectors and others. The program illustrates how these BMPs work and how they can fail. (14 minutes)

BMP Master List
The purpose of the Stormwater Quality Management BMP master list is to allow MS4 and Public Works managers to easily search available stormwater and
erosion control BMPs based on target pollutants, WDNR Technical Standards, and keywords. The master list provides insight into the benefits and limitations
of each BMP, allowing the user to have a brief understanding of each device to help guide decision making when implementing or reviewing
projects. The spreadsheet can be found on the NEWSC member resources page on newsc.org and HERE.

NEWSC 5 Year Exhibiting Plan
Each year NEWSC will commit to exhibiting at an event on behalf of 20% of our membership, ensuring we exhibit in each member community once during a 5 year
permit cycle. The communities assigned in a given year will be guaranteed a NEWSC presence at a community event during that year, given that the NEWSC
member work with the Outreach Coordinator to get the event on the exhibiting calendar by March 30 and work to coordinate with the event host.

To ensure your space is reserved NEWSC members must:
1. Contact the Outreach Coordinator by March 30 of the year you are scheduled with the name of event, date of the event and contact information for the
event organizer that you would like the Outreach Coordinator to be a part of.
2. Work with the Outreach Coordinator and the event organizer to ensure acceptance of NEWSC participation at the event. Pay any exhibiting fees (if any)
for the event. For most community events, NEWSC members are able to coordinate with event host free exhibit space, if the event chosen does not waive
exhibit fees for the community, those fees are the responsibility of the NEWSC member.
If communities do not schedule the Outreach Coordinator to participate by March 30, invitations to the Outreach Coordinator from other communities for events will
be entertained and all invites will be accepted as time is available on a first come first serve basis. If the Outreach Coordinator is unable to exhibit in your
community due to workload or date of event, NEWSC members may check out exhibiting materials from NEWSC. Promotional materials will be provided as part of
the exhibiting display if NEWSC has promotional items to hand out.

CITY OF OSHKOSH 2021 ANNUAL STORM WATER REPORT
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Minimum Control Measures – Section 1: Public Education and Outreach
Topic: Management of materials that may cause storm water pollution from automobiles, pet
waste, household hazardous waste, and household practices.
Each spring, the city mails out reminders, see attachments, in every utility billing
reminding residents that they are subject to fines if they blow grass clippings into the
street. This reminder was also published in the Oshkosh Herald on 05/26/2021 and
06/02/2021. In 2021, fifteen violation letters were sent out. The city was made aware of
most violations by residents notifying the city of violations.
Winnebago County provided free hazardous material disposal to in-county resident’s
farms and households. A brochure on the County’s website has specific information
about the program. Hazardous materials are also accepted from County businesses
identified as very small quantity generators during these collection events. Disposal fees
do apply for business materials, but eligible businesses may receive a 50% subsidy for
disposal of pesticide wastes.
Topic: Infiltration of residential storm water runoff from rooftop downspouts, driveways, and
sidewalks.
The City has a credit policy that residential and commercial property owners may
reduce their storm water utility fee by installing BMP’s. The details of this program are
available on the City’s Storm Water Utility webpage:
(https://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us/StormWaterUtility). Qualifying BMP’s include rain
barrels, rain gardens, as well as bio-swales and storm basins. In 2021, the City received
and approved 6 residential and 2 commercial requests for reductions in their storm
water utility fee.
Topic: Inform and where appropriate educate those responsible for the design, installation, and
maintenance of construction site erosion control practices and storm water management
facilities on how to design, install, and maintain the practices.
City staff utilizes the site plan review process to educate developers and design
engineers on the performance criteria of all storm water management facilities. This is
often done in face to face review sessions but is also communicated through phone calls
and emails. The City reviewed approximately 91 new commercial site plans in 2021.
Once approved developers/owners are required to enter into an Operation and
Maintenance Agreement with the city that is on file with the County Register of Deeds.
i:\engineering\storm water information\ms4 permit items\dnr submittals\2021 annual report\2021
supplemental information.docx
In 2021 the city entered into 5 commercial Operation and Maintenance agreements (3 are
signed and 2 are awaiting final approval and signatures).
The City of Oshkosh staff holds Ground Control training sessions for every unique
contractor that works on a City Engineering Division bid contract. This year the ground
control trainings were held virtually via webex.
Topic: Promote environmentally sensitive land development designs by developers and
designers including green infrastructure and low impact development.
The City has also been a strong proponent of subsurface horizontal treatment of storm
water. This is a relatively new technology to Wisconsin but a technology that has been
in use in Wisconsin to treat wastewater for about 30 years. Through the efforts of City
staff this new technology (Prairie Treatment System) was recently installed in two (2)
developments to treat storm water. Marquette University is conducting a one year
monitoring program for the subsurface gravel wetland best management practices that
were installed in Oshkosh. The site being monitored is one of the two practices installed
along the extension of Koeller Street and Westfield Street in conjunction with The
Oshkosh Corporations Global Headquarters project. The project advisory team includes
individuals from Marquette University, WDNR, Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage
District (MMSD), and the City of Oshkosh. The MMSD has been very active in installing,
testing, and monitoring green infrastructure practices to reduce the amount of storm
water runoff within the contributing watersheds to their combined sewerage system.
Minimum Control Measures – Section 2: Public Involvement
Topic: Storm Water Management Plans and/or updates.
The City annually updates its Storm Water Utility brochure, See Attachment, which
describes the progress that has been made in the management of the storm water in the
community.
The next update of the City’s Storm Water Management Plan is scheduled to take place
in 2022. By that time the City will have a new WPDES MS4 Permit that possibly could
include the performance reduction of new TDML limits. In the meantime, information
on the progress made in implementing the current plan is posted on the City’s website.
Topic: Storm Water Related Ordinances and/or Updates.
The City continually reviews City Ordinances and identifies language that may be
added or modified to encourage the use of green infrastructure.
Topic: Volunteer Opportunities.
The City of Oshkosh is a member of NEWSC.
The City partnered with the Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance in an Earth Day water shed
clean-up project. Due to Covid the event was held in September. Volunteers cleaned-up
i:\engineering\storm water information\ms4 permit items\dnr submittals\2021 annual report\2021
supplemental information.docx
the shorelines and tributary shorelines of the Fox River, Lake Winnebago and Lake Butte
Des Morts. Volunteers also performed socially distant Storm Drain Makeovers, Litterati
App Cleanup Activity, and performed cleanup in Red Arrow Park along Sawyer Creek,
along with other smaller scale cleanups.
The City partnered with the Oshkosh Southwest Rotary Club to install Storm water
Medallions on or adjacent to various storm water inlets in the northeast area of the City
of Oshkosh. The medallions were installed in October 2021.
Minimum Control Measures – Section 3: Illicit Discharges.

December 3, 2021:
City staff received a complaint about a large pile of wood chips left in the roadway at 423 W.
14th Avenue. We had staff take a look and document the problem. A letter was sent to the
resident and the issue was resolved.
December 22, 2021:
The homeowner at 1427 Ontario Street called with a complaint about a low spot in front of their
property causing icing issues. A site visit was conducted by the Streets Division (Todd Burns)
and it was discovered that the homeowner was discharging their sump pump across the
sidewalk and that laundry detergent was present within the discharge. It was determined that
the laundry washer discharges into the sump pit. Streets and Engineering took photos and
contacted Inspections Services (Jetty F.) to issue a “Stop Discharge” order and the issue was
resolved. This property owner was also added to the Mini-Storm Program.
Minimum Control Measures – Section 4: Construction Site Pollutant Control
The goal of the City’s Construction Erosion Control Program is compliance. Any contractor
working for the City or will be working for a private utility company (gas or electric) and all
City inspectors and engineers are required to attend a ground control workshop where the
City’s erosion control inspector emphasizes the importance that the City places on compliance.
Contractors who are found to have substandard erosion control practices receive written
warnings. The contractors then have 24 hours to correct the substandard condition. City
contractors who have not corrected the deficiency are assessed liquidated damages. With these
two programs in place the City has been very successful in achieving compliance.

Minimum Control Measures – Section 5: Post Construction Storm Water Management.
In 2021 the City approved 22 sites that had new structural storm water management practices
installed. All approved development sites with BMP's are required to have an O&M agreement
with the city. The O&M details the level of inspection that needs to be done during the year. We
only require properties that receive a storm water utility credit based on BMP's to submit their
inspection reports to the city annually (this accounted for 26 private inspections).
Minimum Control Measures – Section 6: Pollution Prevention
All the City owned storm water management facilities are inspected on an annual basis.
Work orders are issued to correct any deficiencies found.
A program to manage invasive and undesirable vegetation in and around storm basins
was initiated in 2017 and continued in 2021. The goal is to treat invasive and
undesirable vegetation in the storm water basins most recently constructed so that the
native planting can get off to a good start. The goal for older basins is rehabilitation,
herbiciding plants like cat tails, phragmities, and teasel to get them under control so
more desirable vegetation can take hold.

Construction Site Pollution Control Program
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System
Program Overview and Goals
The goals of the City of Oshkosh’s Construction Site Pollution Control program are to:
1) Reduce storm water pollution to the nearby receiving waters including Lake Butte des Morts, Fox
River, Sawyer Creek, Campbell Creek, and Lake Winnebago.
2) Prevent sediment and other non-storm water contaminants due to soil erosion from leaving
construction sites.
3) Support development while maintaining an efficient and structurally sound municipal separate storm
sewer system.
4) Comply with state and federal regulations as defined in the City’s MS4 Permit.
This Construction Site Pollution Control Program document describes the City’s program as required by MS4
Permit Section 3.5 to develop a program related to Permit Sections 2.4.2 to 2.4.4 (see Attachment 1).
The City’s Construction Site Erosion Control Ordinance is contained in Article III of Chapter 14 – Storm Water
Management in the City of Oshkosh Municipal Code.

Current Position Staff: Alyssa Deckert;
Phone: (920) 236-5065
Email: adeckert@ci.oshkosh.wi.us
Program Description:
The City’s Municipal Code Chapter 14 describes multiple land disturbing construction activities that require
compliance with the construction site review and permitting process and could be of any size if the City deems
it potentially impactful to receiving waters. At a minimum, construction sites of 4,000 square feet or more (see
Municipal Code Chapter 14, Article III, Section 14-9 for Applicability and Jurisdiction details) must apply for a
permit which includes submitting a construction site erosion and sediment control plan.
Sites that are required to obtain a permit must adhere to Section 14-12 Performance Standards for Permitted
Sites, Section 14-13 Permitting Requirements, Procedures, and Fees of the City’s Ordinance, and Section 14-
14 Erosion and Sediment Control Plan and Amendments.
Sites that do not need to prepare a plan and obtain a permit (see 14-9(A)(2)) are still required to adhere to
Section 14-11 Performance Standards for Non-Permitted Sites of the City’s Ordinance.
One- and two-family residential dwellings disturbing under 1 acre and not a part of a larger development are
regulated by the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services under s. SPS 321.125 Wis. Adm.
Code.
The erosion and sediment plan review program is managed through the City of Oshkosh Online Permitting and
Planning Services (Evolve System): https://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us/EvolvePublic/ : Multiple City staff and a
contracted qualified professional may get involved with the review and approval of erosion control submittals.

Construction Site Pollution Control Program as of: February 18, 2022
City of Oshkosh Construction Site Pollution Control Program Page 2 2/17/2020
The procedure for construction site plan review and approval is as follows:
1) Applicant submittal:
a. The applicant uploads application materials into the Evolve System.
b. Alternatively, materials are provided to City of Oshkosh Permitting and Planning Services
Staff, who in turn upload into the Evolve System.
c. This process may occur multiple times for a single project. If initial submittals are determined
to be insufficient (see #2 below), resubmittal is required.
2) Review of submittal:
a. The Engineering Division / Civil Engineer Supervisor is notified of a submittal. The submittal
is assigned to a qualified individual for review of storm water components, including
construction site erosion control elements. Review may be conducted by Engineering Division
staff or a contracted qualified professional (Consultant).
b. The submittal materials are reviewed for compliance with Article III of Municipal Code Chapter
14. Review of construction site erosion control and post-construction storm water
management is conducted simultaneously.
c. The submittal is discussed at the next weekly Site Plan Review Meeting following the
submittal. Meetings are typically held Mondays at 1:00 p.m. Site Plan Review Meeting
attendees may include:
i. Engineering Division Manager / City Engineer,
ii. Civil Engineer Supervisor,
iii. Engineering Division Staff (including those responsible review of general Civil
submittal components),
iv. Contracted qualified professional,
v. Planning Division staff,
d. Discussion at the weekly Site Plan Review Meeting allows collaborative input from multiple
reviewers and discussion of site with Engineering Department leaders.
e. Following the Site Plan Review Meeting, the review of the submittal is finalized. The outcome
of review is one of the following:
i. Not Approved: Site is deemed to not meet the requirements of Municipal Code
Chapter 14. Review comments are provided to the applicant.
ii. Conditional: Site is deemed to meet the requirements of Municipal Code Chapter 14.
An approval letter is provided to the applicant. Minor comments may remain, most
typically they are associated with items to be completed by the end of construction.
Frequent conditional approval comments include:
1. Requirement for a final site inspection and preparation of as-built drawings /
certification.
2. Requirement for execution of an operation and maintenance agreement.
iii. Approved: Site is deemed to meet the requirements of Municipal Code Chapter 14.
An approval letter is provided to the applicant.

iv. Hold: Outstanding items are identified. The review is placed on hold and the
applicant is contacted (via email) to request additional materials to be submitted that
are missing from the submittal. Following submittal of additional material, the review
is completed, and the review is finalized with one of the outcomes listed above.
f. This process is repeated as required for subsequent submittals of a project until a Conditional
or Approved status is reached.
3) Approval of submittal:
As noted in the prior section, there are two levels of approval; Conditional and Approved. Once a
project has achieved one of these two statuses, they may proceed with the requested development.

Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) Program
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System
Program Overview and Goals
The goals of the City of Oshkosh’s IDDE program are to:
1) Reduce storm water pollution to the nearby receiving waters including Lake Butte des Morts, Fox
River, Sawyer Creek, Campbell Creek, and Lake Winnebago.
2) Prevent non-storm water contaminants or flows from entering the municipal storm sewer system.
Non-storm water flows consist of (but are not limited to): sanitary sewer flows, industrial process
wastewater, accidental spills or intentional dumping of liquid or solid material that enters the storm
sewer system, or any discharge into the city’s storm sewer system that is not composed entirely of
storm water, except as allowed by the City of Oshkosh Municipal Code Chapter 14.
3) Maintain an efficient and structurally sound municipal separate storm sewer system.
4) Comply with state and federal regulations as defined in the City’s MS4 Permit.
This IDDE Program document describes the City’s program as required by MS4 Permit Section 3.4 to develop a
program related to Permit Sections 2.3.2 to 2.3.6 (see Attachment 1).
The City’s Illicit Discharge Ordinance is contained in Articles V and VI of Chapter 14 – Storm Water
Management in the City of Oshkosh Municipal Code.
Components of the City’s IDDE Program
1. IDDE Field Screening
Responsible Position: DPW / Engineering Division; Civil Engineer Supervisor
Current Position Staff: Alyssa Deckert;
Phone: (920) 236-5065
Email: adeckert@ci.oshkosh.wi.us
Program Description:
The City contracts with a qualified professional services provider to conduct the IDDE dry weather field
screening of the City’s MS4 outfalls in compliance with Section 2.3.2 of the MS4 Permit. The contracted
provider conducts the field work, provides an annual written document of the results of the dry weather
screening, and conducts a presentation to the City’s Storm Water Appeals Board in the spring of each year
summarizing the previous year’s field work. The annual field screening is conducted as follows:
1) Annual Field Screening – classification of outfalls and schedule
a) Priority outfalls are screened every year. Priority outfalls are those outfalls identified with the
highest potential for illicit discharge. Priority outfalls are identified based upon the following criteria:
i) History of known or suspected illicit discharges within the past 5 years
ii) Outfalls with greater than 80% impervious area within the drainage area
iii) Outfalls with highly industrial or commercial land use within the drainage area.
b) Non-priority major outfalls are screened once every five years. Non-priority, major outfalls are those
outfalls with an inside diameter greater than or equal to 36” diameter or equivalent.
c) Non-priority, minor outfalls are screened once every ten years. Non-priority minor outfalls are
outfalls with an inside diameter less than 36” diameter or equivalent.
d) Supplemental outfalls are additional screening locations that do not meet the legal definition of an
outfall according to the MS4 general permit. These locations are generally detention basin inlets.
City of Oshkosh
IDDE Program as of: February 18, 2022
City of Oshkosh IDDE Program Page 2 2/17/2020
The supplemental outfalls are screened based on further classification as either priority, non-priority
major, or non-priority minor outfalls.
e) Screening points are located at the outfall, or if submerged at the nearest accessible upstream
manhole location.
Table 1 shows the status of storm sewer outfalls for the entire City of Oshkosh.

Major 11 75 86
Minor 17 223 240
Supplemental 4 89 93
Total 32 387 419
2) The contracted firm notifies the Engineering Division when annual IDDE screening is scheduled.
3) The contracted firm conducts field screening procedures at the scheduled outfalls and collects
information from the screening process. (See Attachment 2 for example field data collection sheet).
Field screening procedures are informed by the “Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination: A guidance
Manual for Program Development and Technical Assessments” (Center for Watershed Protection /
Robert Pitt, October 2004) as well as the WDNR’s Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination guidance
document (March 2012). Field screening procedures have evolved after several years of experience to
meet permit screening requirements and parameters as discussed with and approved by the WDNR.
Details on the screening procedures employed can be found in the latest “Ongoing Screening Summary
Report”.
4) The contracted firm notifies the Engineering Division when IDDE screening is completed and prepares
an annual report.
5) The contracted firm provides a written report by February of each year documenting the results of the
field screening conducted the previous year. The report includes:
a) Dates, times, and locations of outfalls screened.
b) Weather conditions
c) Visual observations (trash, flow, color, odor, turbidity, oil sheen or surface scum, other evidence of
non-storm water discharge
d) Field parameters measured (pH, chlorine, detergents, ammonia, temperature, conductivity).
e) Physical conditions of outfall structure
6) An annual presentation is conducted for the Storm water Utility Appeals Board summarizing the
previous year’s findings.
2. Response to Spills and Reports of Illicit Discharge / IDDE Source Investigation and Elimination
Responsible Position: DPW / Engineering Division; Civil Engineering Supervisor
Current Position Staff: Alyssa Deckert;
Phone: (920) 236-5065
Email: adeckert@ci.oshkosh.wi.us
Program Description:
1) The Engineering Division may be notified of an Illicit Discharge or Spill primarily from two sources:
City of Oshkosh
IDDE Program as of: February 18, 2022
City of Oshkosh IDDE Program Page 3 2/17/2020
a. If, during the annual IDDE screening, the Contractor field crew finds an obvious illicit
discharge (e.g.: a direct connection of a sanitary lateral, illegal spill, or other evidence) the
field crew will document the situation with photographs and test data and immediately notify
City’s Engineering Division.
b. Direct communication from a citizen and/or City field staff person may notify the Engineering
Division of an observed condition. The City has information posted on its website on how to
report spills and illicit discharges. Illicit discharges may be reported through Connect
Oshkosh or through direct contact to the Engineering Division.
2) The City has authority to prohibit illicit discharges and carry out inspections, monitoring, and
enforcement measures necessary to ensure compliance with this program through the City’s Illicit
Discharge Ordinance sections in Articles V and VI of Chapter 14 – Storm Water Management in the
City of Oshkosh Municipal Code.
3) If a hazardous or explosive potential exists, the contracted firm notifies the City Engineering Division of
a potentially dangerous situation and the City Engineering Division contacts the Oshkosh Fire
Department (920-236-5240 or 911) for emergency procedures to prevent further release of material,
contain, cleanup, and dispose of material.
4) If the spill or release of a hazardous substance does not qualify as an exemption (see Attachment 3)
the City Engineering Division immediately calls the WDNR spills hotline (1-800-943-0003).
5) If a spill qualifies as an exemption (see Attachment 3), City staff conduct clean up procedures, WDNR
notification is not required.
6) If a non-emergency situation exists, the City Engineering Division contacts the DPW Streets Division,
Building/Plumbing Inspector, or other staff as needed to investigate the situation. The City will use
storm sewer system mapping and other information to track the discharge upstream to its source.
The contracted firm’s field crew may assist as needed but generally turns over the investigation to City.
7) Tracking of potential illicit discharges may result in detecting and eliminating cross-connections and
leakage from sanitary conveyance systems into the MS4. The City’s annual sanitary and storm sewer
televising program supplements the IDDE field screening and periodically identifies cross-connections
between sanitary conveyances systems and the MS4. When a potential cross-connection is observed
the City’s televising team contacts the Engineering Division for follow-up investigation and corrective
actions.
8) If during investigative efforts, dye testing is used, the City will provide notice to the WDNR as well as
the Oshkosh Police and/or Fire Department in advance of dye testing due to the likelihood of dye
appearing in waterways and being observed and reported as an illicit discharge or spill.
9) If the non-emergency situation involves a neighboring municipality (discharges to, or coming from), the
City will contact that municipality within one working day.

10) The City will then address the identified problem to terminate the illicit discharge and/or connection.
This can take several forms from direct action by the City staff, to securing additional resources to
implement a fix, to working with a landowner to mitigate an existing situation.
11) The City’s goal is to eliminate the identified discharge as soon as possible (with a target of three
working days to the maximum extent practicable). If it will take the City more than 30 days to remove
an illicit connection, or if the potential illicit discharge is from a facility with WPDES permit coverage,
the WDNR will be contacted to discuss an appropriate action and/or timeframe for removal. The City
will keep the WDNR informed of progress and take appropriate steps to remedy the situation,
including when the situation is corrected.
12) IDDE screening and response procedures are documented by the City (including dates and locations
of IDDE screenings, reports of alleged illicit discharges/date of report/follow-up actions taken, dates of
discovery of illicit discharges, identification of outfalls or other areas where illicit discharges have been
discovered, sources (including description of the responsible party) of illicit discharges (if known) and
actions taken/dates to address discovered illicit discharges) and kept on file for annual reporting or
other future reporting or follow-up reasons.

2.3.2 IDDE field screening. On-going dry weather field screening shall be conducted at 100% of
the total major outfalls at least once during the term of the permit. Additionally, the permittee
shall select minor outfalls for annual on-going dry weather field screening during the term of the
permit. The permittee shall develop a prioritization procedure to assist with selecting minor
outfalls and consideration shall be given to hydrological conditions, total drainage area of the
site, population density of the site, traffic density, age of the structures or buildings in the area,
history of the area and land use types when selecting outfalls for annual field screening. At a
minimum, field screening shall be documented and include:
a. Visual Observation - A narrative description of visual observations including color, odor,
turbidity, oil sheen or surface scum, flow rate and any other relevant observations regarding
the potential presence of non-storm water discharges or illicit dumping.
b. Field Analysis - If flow is observed, a field analysis shall be conducted to determine the
presence of illicit non-storm water discharges or illicit dumping. The field analysis shall
include sampling for pH, total chlorine, total copper, total phenol and detergents, unless the
permittee elects instead to use detergent, ammonia, potassium and fluoride as the indicator
parameters. Other alternative indicator parameters may be authorized by the Department in
writing.
(1) Field screening points shall, where possible, be located downstream of any source of
suspected illicit activity.
(2) Field screening points shall be located where practicable at the farthest manhole or
other accessible location downstream in the system. Safety of personnel and
accessibility of the location shall be considered in making this determination.
Note: The Department’s MS4 Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination guidance document
includes several recommendations regarding selection of outfalls for field screening, screening
frequency, indicator parameter selection, indicator parameter action levels and documentation.
The Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination guidance is available on the Department’s
Internet site at: https://dnr.wi.gov/topic/stormwater/municipal/overview.html
2.3.3 IDDE source investigation and elimination. Written procedures for responding to known or
suspected illicit discharges, including an assessment of risks and the establishment to response
times. At a minimum, procedures shall be established for:
a. Investigating portions of the MS4 that, based on the results of field screening or other
information, indicate a reasonable potential for containing illicit discharges or other sources
of non-storm water discharges.
b. Responding to spills that discharge into and/or from the MS4 including tracking and locating
the source of the spill if unknown.
c. Preventing and containing spills that may discharge into or are already within the MS4.
d. Promoting, publicizing, and facilitating public reporting of illicit discharges or water quality
impacts associated with discharges into or from MS4s through a central contact point,
including a form, website, email address, and/or telephone number for complaints and spill
reporting, and publicize to both internal permittee staff and the public.

2. Storm Water Management Plan Review
Responsible Position: DPW / Engineering Division; Civil Engineer Supervisor
Current Position Staff: Alyssa Deckert;
Phone: (920) 236-5065
Email: adeckert@ci.oshkosh.wi.us
Program Description:
The procedure for storm water management plan review and approval is as follows:
1) Pre-submittal Meeting:
a. A pre-submittal meeting is required prior to site plan submittal with the City’s Development
Review Coordinator. This meeting may be waived based on the complexity of the project
and/or the applicant’s knowledge of the City’s development requirements.
b. Additionally, for projects that require post-construction storm water management, a pre-
submittal meeting with City Engineering staff is required. This meeting may be combined with
the pre-submittal meeting under Item a. above.
c. Pre-submittal meetings are attended by the Civil Engineer Supervisor (Responsible Position
for this procedure). Additional staff from the Engineering Division may attend at the
discretion of the supervisor.
2) Applicant submittal:
a. The applicant uploads application materials into the Evolve System.
b. Alternatively, materials are provided to City of Oshkosh Permitting and Planning Services
Staff, who in turn upload into the Evolve System.
c. This process may occur multiple times for a single project. If initial submittals are determined
to be insufficient (see #3 below), resubmittal is required.
3) Review of submittal:
a. The Engineering Division / Civil Engineer supervisor is notified of a submittal. The submittal is
assigned to a qualified individual for review of stormwater components. Review may be
conducted by Engineering Division staff or a contracted qualified professional (Consultant).
b. The submittal materials are reviewed for compliance with Article IV of Municipal Code Chapter
14. Review of construction site erosion control and post-construction storm water
management is conducted simultaneously.
City of Oshkosh

City of Oshkosh Post Construction
Storm Water Program-Final.docx Page 3 2/17/2020
c. The submittal is discussed at the next weekly Site Plan Review Meeting following the
submittal. Meetings are typically held Mondays at 1:00 p.m. Site Plan Review Meeting
attendees may include;
i. Engineering Division Manager / City Engineer
ii. Civil Engineer Supervisor
iii. Engineering Division Staff (including those responsible review of general Civil
submittal components)
iv. Contracted qualified professional
v. Planning Division staff
d. Discussion at the weekly Site Plan Review Meeting allows collaborative input from multiple
reviewers and discussion of site with Engineering Division leaders.
e. Following Site Plan Review Meeting, the review of the submittal is finalized. The outcome of
review is one of the following:
i. Not Approved: Site is deemed to not meet the requirements of Municipal Code
Chapter 14. Review comments are provided to the applicant.
ii. Conditional: Site is deemed to meet the requirements of Municipal Code Chapter 14.
An approval letter is provided to the applicant. Minor comments may remain, most
typically they are associated with items to be completed by the end of construction.
Frequent conditional approval comments include:
1. Requirement for a final site inspection and preparation of as-built drawings /
certification.
2. Requirement for execution of an operation and maintenance agreement.
iii. Approved: Site is deemed to meet the requirements of Municipal Code Chapter 14.
An approval letter is provided to the applicant.
iv. Hold: Outstanding items are identified. The review is placed on hold and the
applicant is contacted (via email) to request additional materials to be submitted that
are missing from the submittal. Following submittal of additional material, the review
is completed and the review is finalized with one of the outcomes listed above.
f. This process is repeated as required for subsequent submittals of a project until a Conditional
or Approved status is reached.
4) As-Built Certification
a. Following completion of project construction, a final inspection with the Department of Public
Works is required to be scheduled to verify the project is constructed in accordance with the
approved plans.
b. As-built drawings and an as-built certification by a Professional Engineer of the storm water
BMPs is required to be submitted.
