The County Surveyor's Office maintains official county maps and perpetually maintains original government survey section corners, the basis for all property boundaries. In cooperation with the County Drainage Board, this office manages County's 600 mile legal drain (stormwater drainage) system, and also reviews subdivision proposals in unincorporated areas of the county for proper compliance with County ordinances. The County Surveyor coordinates the development of Lake County's computerized mapping, the Geographic Information System (GIS), along with other record and mapping responsibilities.

City of LafayetteCase study:

• Example SOP Street Sweeping Before MS4

Street Sweeping SOP

SOP for Daily Sweeper OperationIn order to keep streets clean, we run 4 sweepers on a daily basis, Monday thru Friday weather permitting.

The City of Lafayette is broken up into 5 sweeper routes, 1 representing each day of the week. Each day of the week is divided into 4 zones (1 for each sweeper).

Each sweeper will go into their assigned route and zone according to what day of the week it is. They will work in this zone the entire day. If they complete their zone before the day is over, they will contact other sweeper drivers and assist them with their zones for the rest of that day only. However if they are not able to complete their route on that given day, they will return on the same day the following week and continue where they left off the previous week, and so on until that zone is completed, at which time the process repeats itself.

Empty Sweepers when full.

Management Plan (Part C)

“Local government operations conduct numerous activities that may pose a threat to water quality if practices and procedures are not in place to prevent pollutants from entering the stormwater conveyance. These activities include winter road maintenance, minor road repairs and other infrastructure work, automobile fleet maintenance, landscaping and park maintenance, and building maintenance.”

Purpose & Intended Use of DocumentThis document is guidance for developing or enhancing a Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping Program to comply with Indiana’s Rule 13 which meets the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4), and Clean Water Act permitting requirements. It represents the collective work product of the Indiana Association for Floodplain and Stormwater Management’s (INAFSM) Stormwater Committee’s P2&GH Group. This group has 16 members representing many different Phase II MS4s entities throughout the state of Indiana.

Written documentation of maintenance activities, maintenance schedules, and long term inspection procedures for BMPs to reduce floatables and other pollutants discharged from the separate storm sewers. Maintenance activities shall include, as appropriate, the following:

Periodic pavement sweeping as defined in the MS4 area SWQMP.

2. Identifies multiple options for implementation

Implementation Best Management Practices (BMPs)

Create and maintain written documentation or procedures describing the activity. This could be SOPs, SWPPPs, P2&GHMs, or other applicable format.

Include a frequency or schedule for street sweeping in the procedure.

Perform routine maintenance on street sweeping vehicles to prevent spills and leaks.

Implement employee training on street sweeping operations (refer to Section 2.0 for more information on training requirements).

4. Options for Measurable Goals and tracking

Possible MeasurableGoals

Decrease pollutants to the storm sewer system by sweeping streets and municipally-owned paved areas.

Sweep all streets a specified number of times per year (local MS4 to decide frequency of sweeping as identified in the SWQMP Part C NPDES Permit document).

Track the amount of streets swept.

Easy-to-Use Guide:

5. Describes disposal procedures

Disposal

Describe in the procedure the disposal process and temporary storage method for street sweeping material. Materials must be: Stored for less than six months at the municipality before

disposal at a permitted landfill unless the MS4 can prove long-term storage is not intended.

Stored in 1) a covered container; or 2) on an impervious surface, covered and the runoff/run-on contained.

Stored in an area where the material will not wash into a waterway or wetland.

Refer to Section 9.2.2 for disposal measures.

6. Describes documentation needs

DocumentationRecord the amounts of debris collected on tracking logs, work orders or other means; or if the material is segregated from other debris, maintain disposal invoices with tonnage.

Easy-to-Use Guide:

7. Possible “next steps” for above & beyond efforts

Advanced BMPs(Optional)

Designate a wash out area for the street sweeping vehicle where wash water is discharged to a sanitary sewer.

Implement a screening and reuse program for street sweeping materials.

Schedule street sweeping activities during spring snowmelt to reduce deicing pollutants to the storm sewer.

Prioritize sweeping for areas based on high-traffic areas, curb/no curb areas, observations, complaints, and proximity to waterways.

Store sweeping materials in a drying bed at the wastewater plant before disposal so runoff/run-on flows to the sanitary sewer.

Store sweeping materials under roof to prevent contact with precipitation.
