218 Meeting Date and Time Monthly MS4 Report Reorganization Meeting of the South Park Township Board of Supervisors. All members voted aye. Motion Mrs. Fosbaugh explained that the MS4 report is given monthly in order to fulfill the Township's obligation with the DEP concerning the public education process of MS4, which is an acronym for Separate Municipal Storm Sewer System. She continued with her report for December, 2016: 1) South Park Township's comments with regard to the stormwater management ordinance proposed by Allegheny County were forwarded to the Allegheny County Conservation District to comply with the November 21st deadline. The Township has heard nothing further at this time. She explained that the Township was provided a Draft rdinance from Allegheny County concerning enhanced measures for stormwater control, including both commercial and residential entities. The Township, as well as other municipalities, were allotted a certain amount of time to submit any comments and are waiting to see what was incorporated into the revised ordinance. G C C 2) A data base has been created composed of the information related to the analysis of the water tests regarding the fresh water outfalls. This is another task that is required under the MS4 process. Water outfalls that have water running in dry conditions must be tested to determine if the source of the water is of a polluting nature. This task has been completed. The Township has an intern who is creating a master data base with all of the information obtained. 3) The storm water mapping for the Lick Run portion of the Township's collection system has been completed by the project engineer. The information is available in an electronic format and is being entered into a data base. In 2017, the Township will be focusing on sanitary sewer manhole mapping in the Lick Run Watershed. The Township is currently participating in three watersheds for our sewage flow: Piney Fork Watershed, Lick Run Watershed (Pleasant Hills), and Clairton Watershed. 4) The Public Works employees continue to clean leaves from catch basins. This is critical to making sure that the catch basins are adequately cleaned in order to catch all the runoff and direct it accordingly. 5) Litter collection with a part-time employee continues. By cleaning the litter from the sides of the streets, prevents it from washing down into the catch basins and prevents the water from properly draining. 6) The mapping of all stormwater catch basins in the Lick Run and Clairton Watersheds will commence in 2017, again to comply with mandated MS4 guidelines. Mr. Buchewicz inquired about utfalls. Mrs. Fosbaugh explained that it is stormwater that is collected through various means. When it
reaches the creek, the water drains from an outfall pipe into the creek. The stormwater is being monitored to make sure that it is free of pollutants. 219 Monthly MS4 Report. All members voted aye.
