| − | ==About the Digital Document Library==
| |
| − | Welcome to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's (MPCA) municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) Digital Document Library (DDL). The DDL is a space for stormwater program staff to store and circulate example documents that are being used to manage stormwater pollution prevention programs (SWPPPs). In the DDL, you'll find inspection checklists and forms, site plan review checklists, documentation tracking mechanisms, standard operating procedures, photos/graphics, and many more useful materials to help you implement your SWPPP.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Documents in the DDL are available to all site users for download and use. MPCA staff have reviewed all materials to ensure their compliance with the [https://stormwater.pca.state.mn.us/index.php?title=Stormwater_Program_for_Municipal_Separate_Storm_Sewer_Systems_(MS4) MS4 General Permit] prior to posting.
| |
| − | | |
| − | We believe that having example documents will reduce the resources (staff time, financial, etc.) required to implement effective SWPPPs.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''IMPORTANT NOTE''': Some of the documents in the DDL may not meet the minimum requirements in the new [https://www.pca.state.mn.us/water/2020-ms4-general-permit 2020 MS4 General Permit]. If you have questions about any of the documents, please contact [https://stormwater.pca.state.mn.us/index.php?title=MS4_staff_contact_information_and_staff_assignments MPCA MS4 staff].
