Permit Conditions a. Minimum Control Measures: Public Education and Outreach Fox Wolf Watershed Alliance Presentation: The City of Oshkosh opened the Fox Wolf Watershed Alliance annual conference with a session on how the City of Oshkosh incorporates water resources and storm water management with economic growth. The conference was held in Oshkosh on March 3 4, 2015. Utility Bill Flyer: A utility bill flyer on storm water management and discharge of grass to streets was included with the utility bills that went out at the end of April (mailer attached). Online Mapping: The City is developing a new interactive ESRI ArcGIS Online Mapping application to display a map that shows the progress of projects that are being undertaken by the Storm Water Utility. IDDE Videos: The City acquired a series of videos for use in a public outreach program through OCMS. The videos are of variable lengths and website. Public Involvement and Participation Storm Water Utility Website: The Storm Water Utility has a page on the City's Website. The Storm Water Utility Engineering Supervisor works with the Information Technology Division staff to ensure that items pertaining to the Storm Water Utility that may be of interest to the general public are posted. The url for the Storm Water Utility webpage is: http://www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us/Public_Works/Storm_Water_Utility/ Storm Water Utility Committee: In 2015, the Storm Water Utility Committee held public meetings on: February 12, March 19, April 23, May 26, June 25, August 27, September 17, October 15, and November 12. All Storm Water Utility Committee meetings are open to the general public, and are publicly noticed in accordance with state statutes. A link to the Storm Water Utility Co webpage. Annual Report Outreach: The 2014 MS4 Annual Report was discussed at the February 12 and March 19 Storm Water Utility Committee Meetings. The report was also posted to the Storm Water Utility webpage. The Common Council reviewed and voted to approve the report at their March 24th meeting. Build Your Own Rain Barrel: The City of Oshkosh conducted a event that was held on April 18, 2015. A total for 34 rain barrels were constructed at the event. Fox River Clean: The City of Oshkosh participated in the Fox River Clean (organized by the Fox Wolf Watershed Alliance) that was held on April 25, 2015. Ground Control Workshops: The City of Oshkosh conducted four (4) Ground Control Workshops during 2015. All contractors and their subcontractors are required to attend, so some contractors have attended our workshops more than once over the years. At each workshop, City staff reviewed the erosion control requirements that would be enforced during construction. Staff stressed the importance of maintain proper erosion control practices at all times and the penalties if the Contractors are found to be in non compliance. A total of 21 individuals participated in the four workshops. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Outfall Program: During the summer of 2015, OMNNI Associates, Inc. (OMNNI) assisted the City of Oshkosh with inspecting the outfalls in the City's municipal separate storm sewer system implemented the "priority outfall" concept that was introduced by the WDNR in a March 2012 guidance document. Results of the inspections are summarized in the City of Oshkosh Ongoing Screening Summary Report- 2015 Inspection Year (January 8, 2016). The current MS4 map of the City of Oshkosh consists of 425 outfalls including: 95 major outfalls 237 minor outfalls 93 supplemental outfalls OMNNI inspected 98 outfalls of the approximately 425 MS4 outfalls identified in the City. All 48 priority outfalls were inspected along with a sampling of the non-priority major outfalls and the non-priority non-major outfalls. The inspections consisted of a visual screening along with a chemical analysis of any dry-weather flow that was present. The inspections revealed 77 outfalls were unlikely as having a potential of past illicit discharges, 20 outfalls with evidence of having a potential of an illicit discharge and only one (1) obvious illicit discharge. Of the 20 potential 19 upstream manholes contained significant amounts of floating debris (plastic bottles, foam packaging, paper and other solid wastes) that were classified as potential illicit discharges. City crews removed the debris and the manholes and the City will continue to monitor the manholes for debris. All 19 storm sewers are submerged by the water levels in Lake Winnebago. It is most likely that floatables that are washed off the street and into the storm sewer may be becoming trapped in these manholes where lake levels are above the top of the pipe. The remaining potential discharge was the outfall east of Westfield Street Bridge that registered an elevated level of ammonia. The City will be conducting a field investigation to try to determine if the source might be a leak from the sanitary system or seepage from the adjacent park which historically served as a municipal landfill. On September 23, 2015 Outfall 12-1328a a trickle discharge of a white silty substance was sampled. OMNNI traced the discharge to a 6-inch pipe that was tapped into a curb inlet near the intersection of Walter Street and Fernau Avenue. The pipe appeared o originate from the Carew concrete plant. There was no storm inlet associated the pipe on the Carew property and the company had no knowledge of the pipe. The City has inserted a temporary plug in the pipe to stop further discharges and will be preparing to construct a permanent plug. Based on the information collected during the screening, the proposed ongoing screening program will undergo revisions based on Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) 2012 guidance documents. The updated plan will then be submitted to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) and used in future screening programs. Future screening programs will be based on the sampling of approximately 100 outfalls annually based on an overall classification of sampling priorities: 48 priority outfalls 80 non-priority major outfalls 297 non-priority non-major outfalls City Enforcement: In April a utility bill flyer went out informing residents of the adverse impacts (clogging of the collection system and nutrient loading to area water bodies) of grass clippings accidentally and intentional being left on City streets. During 2015 the City issues 67 warnings that continued practice of discharging grass clippings into the roadway could potentially result in a fine. Construction Site Pollutant Control Municipal Construction Inspection: The City inspects all municipal construction projects on a weekly basis, and after rainfall events in excess of one half inch in twenty four hours. The Contractor is issued orders to repair any deficiencies in the implementation of the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan within 24 hours. The City utilizes a mapping grade handheld GPS unit to locate any deficiencies in the erosion and sediment control practices, and provide the contractor a map of the locations needing repair. The City also inspects all municipal construction projects that to thaw. Commercial Construction Inspection: The City inspected each Commercial / Industrial development for compliance with their Erosion and Sediment Control Plans on average 1 to 2 times throughout the construction season. Any deficiencies noted in the implementation of the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan were noted in a letter emailed to each construction manager. Additionally, the City responds to numerous citizen complaints due to erosion and sediment control. These complaints are notably after storm events when tracking from construction sites frequently occurs. As with "random" inspections, a summary inspection letter is sent to the construction manager for the site. Erosion Control Enforcement: City staff performed a total of 287 construction site erosion and sediment control inspections in 2015. A total of 92 notices of violations were issued, each was corrected by the contractor. Approximately 240 hours were spent on the inspections, with approximately another 60 hours or so spent in the office preparing reports to send to contractors. Post-Construction Storm Water Management Staff completed 80 private site development plan reviews through the course of 2015, spending approximately 261 hours on those plan reviews. Pollution Prevention Catchbasin Cleaning: Approximately 1,846 person-hours were spent cleaning and removing sediment from catch basins during 2015. Street Sweeping: Approximately 19,895 curb miles of street sweeping occurred in 2015. There are approximately 280 miles of street in the City of Oshkosh. Each mile of street equals 2 curb miles (1 on each side of the street). The approximately 19,895 curb miles of street sweeping equates to sweeping each street approximately 30 times throughout the year. Street sweeping starts in April and May and continues into November in an average year. Because of the unseasonably warm weather some street sweeping activities continued into December. A total of 1,211 tons of debris from the street sweeping program was hauled to landfill in 2015. New Wet Basin: The construction of the 9th and Washburn Wet Detention Basin was completed in 2015. That facility will remove approximately 24 ton of TSS that previously would have been discharged to Lake Winnebago. New Wet Basin: Planting of the vegetation at the Armory Area Wet Detention Basin was completed during the spring of 2015. The vegetation is critical to the basins stability and its pollutant removal capability. Watershed Planning: Work continued on the Fernau Avenue Watershed Storm Water Management Plan that will identify management strategies for resolving the flooding and storm water quality issues of the watershed. Design of New Facilities: The design began on both the Libbey / Nicolet Watershed and Fernau Avenue Watershed - North Main Street Area Detention Basins. Both facilities were early out projects from the watershed planning process. Survey, subsurface investigations, and other data collection activities were some of the activities undertaken in 2015. Watershed Planning: The City also began detailed planning level study for the Gallups/Merritts Watershed. The watershed is located on the south east side of the City. b. Winter Road management Activities: Road Salt application vehicles are calibrated e Streets Division Supervisors have pavement temperature sensors equipped in their trucks, to monitor the temperature of the pavement to ensure that salt is not being applied when it will not be beneficial. c.

Best Management Practices Maintenance: Housekeeping: City crews annually clean and remove sediment from all of the catch basins. For the first six weeks after spring snow melt all streets are swept weekly. Then during the remaining cleaning season, the City performs street cleaning of the majority of City Streets every other week spring through fall. The downtown streets are cleaned at a weekly frequency. The City uses four (4) vacuum assisted, high efficiency, street cleaners and one (1) mechanical broom sweeper. Approximately 19,895 curb miles of streets were swept in 2015, removing approximately 1,211 tons of debris from the streets. Annual Inspection: Engineering Division Staff inspects each storm water BMP annually. These inspections focus on potential structural damage to the facility due to erosion, rodents, vandalism, or other causes. Any deficiencies noted are repaired as quickly as possible. In the case of rodent damage, the site is then evaluated for potential actions to reduce the rodent population. Routine Inspection: The City of Oshkosh Streets Division inspects the major storm water BMP's after each major rain event. These inspections look for any evidence of damage, plugging or other concerns. Any deficiencies noted are repaired as quickly as possible. Maintenance of Lift Stations: The City Waste Water Treatment Plant Staff maintain all pump stations in the City of Oshkosh (waste water and storm water). The City has two large storm water pump stations. The Melvin Avenue Storm Water Pump Station is located on Siewert Trail in Menominee Park and the Lake View Pump Station, which is located in Menominee Park at the end of E. Nevada Drive. The stations are monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year via radio telemetry by operations staff at the Waste Water Treatment Plant. The stations are visually inspected on a weekly basis by a Maintenance Mechanic. The backup power generator is tested 3 to4 times per year. The backup power generator was serviced by the supplier maintenance staff. Nuisance Animal Control: The City of Oshkosh contracted with Suburban Wildlife Solutions, LLC (Kaukauna, WI) to conduct nuisance animal inspections and trapping at all wet detention basins owned and operated by the Storm Water Utility. The management of nuisance animals (muskrats for example) is vital to ensure the long term stability of the natural vegetation in the detention basins. In addition to the wet detention basins, Suburban Wildlife Solutions, LLC performed monthly inspections of the berm at the James Road Area Detention Basin. If the inspections showed evidence of burrowing animals, trapping activities were initiated to remove the burrowing animals and reduce/eliminate the potential damage threat to the berm.
