Spring is here! Children are out playing in
the streets, please drive careful.
I have some good news and some not so good news. First
the good. We're having a parade on June 11! We are
looking for venders and volunteers. If interested, the next
meeting is 6:00pm on April 11th at city hall or go to
Lincoln Days Committee on Facebook.
Now the not so good. Due to the practice of dumping
grease, hygiene products, toys and other not so nice items
into the sewer system, we had a blockage that caused some
residences in town a very unpleasant experience. Please be
careful on what goes into the system so we don't have this
problem.
Thank You
Gerarld L. Wise

Quarter 1: 6 Stormwater Facts on the 26th Anniversary
of MS4
It’s been 26 years since the Environmental Protection Agency began the Phase I Municipal Separate Storm
Sewer System (MS4) permit program in November of 1990.
The NPDES MS4 permit is designed to protect our rivers, lakes and streams from polluted stormwater runoff. In
honor of the anniversary, we connected with SEH MS4 specialist April Ryan, PE, who shared some key facts
about stormwater, pollution, permitting and MS4.
1. Stormwater is precious and powerful. Stormwater is precipitation (rain or snowmelt) that falls to the ground
then flows over land rather than percolate into the ground. In essence, it is the combination of earth’s most
precious resource, water, and its most ubiquitous force, gravity. An inch of rain on an acre of land is equivalent
to 27,154 gallons. It weighs about 113 tons. That’s powerful.
2. Stormwater affects the water you drink. When precipitation hits the ground, some water trickles down into
groundwater aquifers, while the rest flows on the surface to lakes, streams and rivers. Depending on where you
live, your drinking water comes from either surface water (lakes and rivers) or a groundwater aquifer.
3. Today’s stormwater moves faster than ever. Prior to urbanization, the majority of precipitation was naturally,
and slowly, filtered by soil and grasses. As development occurred and pavements became widely used,
stormwater conveyance systems (ditches, gutters, storm sewers) were constructed which quickly transport
water from streets to surface waters, like lakes, rivers, wetlands and streams. The NPDES permit program
controls water pollution by requiring MS4s to treat stormwater prior to discharging into surface waters.
4. Polluted stormwater runoff is the number one water pollutant. As stormwater moves across developed areas
it picks up garbage, debris, sediment, chemicals, automotive fluids, fertilizers, leaves and other pollutants from
parking lots, yards, streets, roofs and other hard surfaces. If left untreated, these enter directly into our
waterways.
The Tartan Crossing redevelopment project combines surface water treatment with a stunning aesthetic centerpiece at an abandoned
mall site in Oakdale, Minnesota.
5. Stormwater pollution is classified in two ways. Water pollution comes either from “point” or “nonpoint”
sources. A point source is identifiable, such as a pipe or drain discharging a pollutant directly into a body of
water. A nonpoint source is more difficult to define. It entails all the polluted stormwater within a certain
geography, like a watershed, for example.
6. An MS4 battles against stormwater pollution. MS4 refers to conveyance or system of conveyances (including
roads with drainage systems, streets, catch basins, curbs, gutters, ditches, man-made channels, and storm
drains) which is owned or operated by a state, city, town, county, district, association, or other public body
(created by or pursuant to state law).
This summary is part of a larger write-up originally published on Novevmber 24th, 2015 entitled 25 Stormwater
Facts on the 25th Anniversary of MS4
