The Six Minimum Measures are stormwater program elements the City will implement to meet Colorado's Water Quality Control Act (CCR 61.8(11)(a)(i)). Each Minimum Measure has associated Measurable Goals to gauge program success.
PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH
GOALS
- Develop and distribute handouts
and publications to educate the general public and increase their
awareness regarding the effects of polluted stormwater on the
environment and necessity of a stormwater quality management program.
- Target local businesses with
appropriate informational materials on potential stormwater impacts of
improper waste disposal and illegal discharges.
- Target neighborhoods with

improper waste disposal and illegal discharges.

vegetation and improving housekeeping at construction sites.
- The mission of this measurable goal is to keep soil on site.
POST-CONSTRUCTION AND RE-DEVELOPMENT SITE RUNOFF CONTROL
GOALS
- Elimination of discreet non-point source releases to the storm water system from new development and re-development.
- Develop and implement best management practices to manage stormwater after the project is complete.
