STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
PLAN EVALUATION
City Of Ocoee
2.1 OVERALL EVALUATION
The City of Ocoee developed the Integrated Stormwater Management Plan(ISMP)in1992-
1993 as a means of providing an integrated approach to delivering stormwater management
�• services to the citizens of Ocoee and complying with the requirements of EPA's evolving
Stormwater NPDES Permitting Program relative to the preparation of a Storm Water
• Management Plan (SWMP). The intent of the ISMP was to provide a summary of current
City stormwater management activities organized in a manner generally consistent with
EPA's intent and direction as expressed in the Final Rule (November 1990).
2.1.1 Objectives of the Program
The primary objective of the Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) prepared
••- pursuant to the MS4(Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems)Permit application
requirements,is to reduce annual and seasonal pollutant loads discharged to receiving
waters to the maximum extent practicable. This objective will be met in the SWMP
through the use of a comprehensive planning process,provision of opportunities for
public participation, continuing intergovernmental coordination activities and
operation of a program for effective stormwater controls and management practices.
Key features that this plan must address include:
• Structural, non-structural and source control measures to reduce pollutants
contained within runoff from commercial and residential areas.
• Programs to detect and remove illicit discharges and improper disposal of
non-stormwater substances from the MS4's storm sewer systems.
• Programs to monitor and control pollutants in stormwater discharges from
municipal industrial activities such as landfills and hazardous waste facilities.
• Programs to implement and maintain structural and non-structural best
management practices to reduce pollutant loadings from construction sites.

YEAR 6 ANNUAL REPORT CITY OF OCOEE
The City's SWMP is intended to provide an integrated approach of implementing
stormwater management services for the citizens of Ocoee.
2.1.2 Major Findings
•� The City of Ocoee, as part of the University of Florida's LAKEWATCH Program,
has accumulated lake water quality data for a period of record from July of 1992 to
the present, for several lakes within the limits of the City of Ocoee. The water
quality data collected (total phosphorus, total nitrogen, chlorophyll a and secchi
depth)allows the City of Ocoee to determine the Trophic State Index (TS!) for each
year in order to:
a. Establish trends (e.g., degraded water quality); and
b. Focus structural and non-structural capital improvements to those lakes
which indicate fair to poor water quality standards.
The water quality data and TSI for several lakes within the City of Ocoee have served
as a basis for developing stormwater management master plans and drainage basin
studies.
2.1.3 Major Accomplishments
Many of the tasks required by the NPDES MS4 Program have been part of the City's
stormwater management and maintenance program for many years. The following
are some of the major accomplishments that are directly or indirectly required
through the NPDES program:
• During September 1994, the City of Ocoee finalized the Drainage
Maintenance Program in order to address hydraulic conveyance capacity,
flood protection, water quality protection, and erosion prevention. The
maintenance program also identified the City's drainage facilities (e.g.,
canals, drainage ditches and swales, stormwater ponds, etc.).
• During January 1996 to the present, the City of Ocoee completed five (5)
drainage basin studies which identified structural and non-structural
improvements to address flood protection, water quality, and
localized/nuisance flooding for eight (8) of the sixteen (16) drainage basins
within the City of Ocoee.
City of Ocoee Page 2-2
• Orange County,Florida MS4 Permit No.FLS000011 October 2002
YEAR 6 ANNUAL REPORT CITY OF OCOEE
• During March 1996,the City of Ocoee completed a Drainage Problem Area
Report which established a city-wide Capital Improvements Program (CIP)
to address flood protection, water quality, and localized/nuisance flooding.
• During 1996,the City of Ocoee increased the stormwater utility fee in order
to expand the Drainage Maintenance Program with respect to additional
equipment and staffing and fund various capital stormwater improvement
programs.
• From August 1996 to the present, the City of Ocoee has constructed
approximately$1.5 million in stormwater capital improvement projects.
2.1.4 Overall Program Strengths/Weaknesses
Ocoee's SWMP generally worked well during Permit Year Five. The following are
a few key strengths and weaknesses.
Program Strengths
• Enhanced inspection and maintenance programs for stormwater facilities.
• Improved intergovernmental coordination with adjacent municipalities and
regional/state agencies.
• Enhanced training of staff related to stormwater issues.
• Erosion and sediment control programs are consistent with State and Federal
requirements.
Program Weaknesses
• Coordinated record keeping needs refinement.
a
• Public education on stormwater issues; particularly pesticides/ herbicides/
fertilizers needs to be enhanced and increased in frequency.
• Spill prevention coordination needs to be enhanced.
'• •
The City is developing a Stormwater Guidance Manual that will incorporate
specific language regarding design criteria associated with stormwater
management facilities.

YEAR 6 ANNUAL REPORT CITY OF OCOEE
2.1.5 Future Direction of Program
With the completion of the drainage basin studies and the capital improvement
program, the City of Ocoee will continue to implement and construct stormwater
projects that address flood protection and water quality. These projects will meet
and/or exceed the requirements of the NPDES Program.

3.2.1 Objective
The objective of this SWMP element is to provide a proactive method for controlling discharges
from areas of new development and significant redevelopment in the City of Ocoee. The City
of Ocoee Comprehensive Plan has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 162,Part II,Local
Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act, F.S., and Rule
91-5, Minimum Criteria for Review of Local Government Comprehensive Plans and
^ Determination of Compliance, F.A.C. Relative to the SWMP, the drainage element of the
Comprehensive Plan (adopted on September 18, 1991) provides planning tools to implement
regulations pertaining to stormwater quality and quantity. The City of Ocoee has undertaken
its comprehensive stormwater planning process with the following goal: Preserve the water
quality of the lakes in the City of Ocoee;protect the public from adverse flooding effects due to
stormwater runoff and manage the surface water collection, conveyance and storage systems
to ensure public health, safety and welfare. In order to address this goal, the City of Ocoee
established the following objectives:
Objective I
The City shall protect the water quality of City lakes through the implementation of
performance standards described in 62-25 Florida Administrative Code(F.A.C.) and design
standards for the 25-year, 24-hour storm event.
Objective 2
The City shall provide for the elimination of flooding effects resulting from the
concentration of stormwater runoff due to rising water in new and existing development
through the adoption of Levels of Service (LOS) standards for drainage facilities. Basin
studies for adoption of LOS standards shall be completed by 1992.
City of Ocoee Page 3-9

3.2.2 Element Activities
Planning activities which affect flood control and water quality management are conducted at
different levels within the City of Ocoee to meet a variety of St. Johns River Water
Management District and Orange County,as well as Federal(EPA,FEMA and ACOE)and State
(FDEP and FDOT) objectives, rules and regulations.
Currently, all residential, commercial and/or miscellaneous site improvements (e.g., building
additions and parking lot expansions)require formal review and approval from the City in order
to proceed with construction. Projects involving a proposed building area less than or equal to
25,000 square feet require review and approval through the Building Department while projects
involving building areas greater than 25,000 square feet, in addition to residential and
commercial developments, require review and approval through the Development Review
Committee(DRC). In either case,as a condition of approval,the City requires the owner and/or
developer to provide the City a copy of the approved stormwater permit,with conditions, from
the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) prior to the approval of the site
plan,plat or building permit.
a. Activities Completed
(1) Intergovernmental coordination between the City of Ocoee, Orange County, and
adjacent municipalities (City of Apopka, City of Winter Garden, and the City of
Orlando) for planning and regulation of development activities.

YEAR 6 ANNUAL REPORT CITY OF OCOEE
(2) Intergovernmental coordination between the City of Ocoee, Orange County,
Regional (SJRWMD) and State (FDEP and FDOT) agencies for planning and
coordination of water quality management activities.
The City of Ocoee and their stormwater consultant (Professional Engineering
Consultants, Inc.) have been actively involved in periodic meetings sponsored by
the St.Johns River Water Management District(SJRWMD)and attended by Orange
County,FDOT,FDEP, City of Orlando,South Florida Water Management District,
and the Cities of Apopka, Maitland, Eatonville, Winter Park, Winter Garden, and
Windermere. The meetings are conducted by an intergovernmental coordinator(Ms.
Nancy Christman) employed by the SJRWMD. The focus of the meetings are to
develop a partnership with local governments to identify joint stormwater projects
associated with flood protection, aquifer recharge and water quality. The projects
discussed during the"Working Group Meetings"are then brought to the attention of
the District's Governing Board and staff for use in their strategic planning and
budgeting process.
(3) The City of Ocoee completed/adopted the"Evaluation and Appraisal Report(EAR)"
and transmitted the document to the Department of Community Affairs (DCA)
which approved the report in November of 1999.
b. Activities in Progress
(I) The City of Ocoee has revised the Comprehensive Plan to be consistent with the
approved Evaluation and Appraisal Report and submitted to the DCA for review and
_ comment. The revised Comprehensive Plan amended the drainage element to
incorporate the results of the completed drainage basin studies, incorporate the
Capital Improvement Plan, and revise / update pertinent information. The DCA
review is an iterative process where the City receives comments, revises the plan
and re-submits to the DCA.
(2) Preparation of a stormwater guidance manual. The City of Ocoee is in the process
of creating a document that incorporates specific language regarding design criteria
associated with stormwater management facilities located within landlocked/closed
basins versus positive outfall basins; incorporate various water quality best

3.3 ROADWAY MAINTENANCE
'- 3.3.1 Objective
The City of Ocoee currently operates and maintains a network of public streets and roads to
serve the citizens of Ocoee. The City also subcontracts with consultants and contractors to
design and build roads to address current and future traffic demands(e.g., Clarke Road, White
Road, and Maguire Road). Many of these transportation facilities contain drainage facilities
intended to keep the driving surface dry and safe for public use(e.g., curb inlets, catch basins,
storm sewer pipes,roadside swales, etc.).
The objectives of this SWMP element are to:
_ • Operate and maintain public streets,roads and highways in a manner to reduce the discharge
of pollutants to the Maximum Extent Practicable(MEP).
• Intercept and remove pollutants associated with roadway runoff prior to their discharge to
receiving waters.
• Maintain safe roadway surface conditions to protect motorists,pedestrians, and public and
private property.
Most of the transportation facilities designed or upgraded after the early 1980's include
stormwater attenuation and/or treatment facilities as required by the SJR W MD,as well as FDOT
and FDEP stormwater programs.
3.3.2 Element Activities
-, a. Activities Completed
(I) Developed and implemented a municipally-operated litter control program for roads
and streets within the City of Ocoee. As part of the maintenance of roadside swales

— 3.4 FLOOD MANAGEMENT
3.4.1 Objective
The objectives of this SWMP element are to:
• Ensure that water quality impacts on receiving waters are assessed for all flood management
projects.
• Evaluate the feasibility of upgrading,repairing or replacing existing structural flood control
devices in order to provide additional pollutant removal.
- 3.4.2 Element Activities
The City of Ocoee developed its Master Stormwater Planning Program in the early 1990s during
the preparation of the Comprehensive Plan. The focus of the drainage clement of the
Comprehensive Plan was to provide adequate flood protection to the residents of Ocoee.
However,the Comprehensive Plan also directed its attention to water quality in order to preserve
the lakes within the City.
a. Activities Completed
(1) Completed the Northwest Ditch Drainage Basin Study during January of 1996. The
recommendations of the study included the construction of two (2) wet detention/
urban wetland systems to provide water quality treatment associated with urban
stormwater runoff prior to discharging to Waters of the United States (Northwest
Ditch/Lake Apopka).
(2) Completed the Spring Lake/Lake Johio Drainage Basin Study during February of
1996. The recommendations of the study included the installation of a sedimentation
baffle box and the conversion of three (3) stormwater ponds from dry retention to
wet detention in order to improve the pollutant removal component of the stormwater
ponds.
(3) Completed the Starke Lake/Lake Olympia Drainage Basin Study during March of
1996. The recommendations of the study included an alum injection/treatment
system, aeration system, and pollution control devices to improve the quality of
runoff entering Starke Lake, Lake Prima Vista, and Lake Olympia.
(4) Completed the Prairie Lake/Lake Meadow Drainage Basin Study during August of
1998. The recommendations of the study included installation of sediment baffle
boxes and retrofitting stormwater ponds to improve water quality treatment.

recommendations of the study included the construction of a stormwater"park"(wet
detention system/urban wetland/passive park) and the acquisitions of drainage
ti easements for proper maintenance.
(6) Completed the City of Ocoee Drainage Maintenance Program during September of
^- 1994. The purpose of the report was to identify the City's drainage facilities;
establish a maintenance schedule; develop maintenance priorities; determine
manpower and equipment requirements to maintain the schedule; and establish a
phased program with respect to costs.
(7) Completed the Stormwater Drainage Problem Areas Engineering Report during
March of 1996. The purpose of the report was to investigate the thirty-one (31)
known drainage related problem areas within the City of Ocoee and develop
recommended solutions and their associated capital costs. Where possible,the flood
control and/or localized flooding projects incorporated water quality improvements.
The report also contained a Phase 1 and Phase 2 Capital Improvement Program(CIP)
that identified and prioritized the drainage retrofit projects, as well as the projects
recommended by the completed drainage basin studies.

(4) During June of 2000, the City Commissioners adopted the prioritized Capital
Improvement Program (CIP).
•- b. Activities in Progress
(1) Update the Capital Improvement Program (i.e., Tables 3-1, 3-2 and 3-3) to
incorporate the recommendations from future drainage basin studies and the
outcome of future drainage workshops with the elected officials and the public.
(2) Continued participation in the University of Florida's LAKEWATCH Program. The
City of Ocoee, as part of the LAKEWATCH Program, has accumulated lake water
quality data for a period of record from July 1992 to the present, for twelve (12) of
the nineteen (19) lakes within the limits of the City of Ocoee. The water quality
parameters being collected on a monthly basis include: total phosphorus, total
nitrogen, chlorophyll-a and the secchi depth. The purpose of participating in the
LAKEWATCH Program is to monitor the lakes, establish trends, and provide"real
world" data to support the expenditures of funds associated with water quality
projects for each of the municipalities involved.
(3) Water quality impacts on receiving water will be assessed for all flood management
projects identified in the drainage basin studies. The feasibility of upgrading and/or
repairing existing structural flood control devices to provide additional pollutant
removal from storm water shall be evaluated.
(4) The remaining basins are jointly within Unincorporated Orange County and the City
of Ocoee. Therefore, completion of the study of these basins will be undertaken as
part of Orange County's SWMMP for the Big Wekiva River Basin.
(5) Incorporate the key findings and recommendations of the remaining drainage basin
studies, with respect to pollutant load reduction and water quality issues, into the
appropriate program elements of the Integrated Storm water Management Plan.
3.4.3 General Element Discussion
a. Element Deficiencies
(1) None at the present time. The current language contained in the City of Ocoee's
Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code prevents any development within
environmentally sensitive areas (wetlands); prevents any development within the
100-year flood plain; and requires stormwater management facilities to provide
stormwater runoff peak flow attenuation and water quality treatment. Also, the
completed drainage basin studies and the Capital Improvement Program incorporate
several water quality projects to reduce pollutant loads associated with urban
stormwater runoff.
City of Ocoee Page 3-26
Orange County,Florida MS4 Permit No.FIS000011 October 2002
YEAR 6 ANNUAL REPORT CITY OF OCOEE
b. Results of Activities
(I) Finalized five (5) drainage basin studies that incorporate eight (8) drainage basins.
— The completed drainage basin studies incorporate approximately 5,200 acres of land
area within the City of Ocoee, or approximately 63%of the incorporated area. The
Lake Addah Basin and the Crooked Lake / Horseshoe Lake Basins have been
studied. The Lake Lucy / Lake Florence / Lake Stanley basin is currently been
studied by Orange County. The South Maguire Basin(south of the Turnpike) is the
only basin that has not been,nor is currently being studied. The completed drainage
basin studies were distributed to the SJRWMD and the Orange County Stormwater
Management Division in order to encourage dialogue between the various entities
to address regional stormwater issues.
(2) Finalized the Stormwater Drainage Problem Areas Engineering Report that
established a Capital Improvement Program(CIP)which incorporates several water
quality related projects ranging from regional stormwater ponds to sediment baffle
boxes. The major drainage problems identified and documented within this report
have been addressed or funded to be addressed by the City of Ocoee.
3.4.4 Status Relative to Part III
Compliance, implementation and augmentation schedule items identified in the Part III matrix

3.4.5 Assessment of Strengths and Weaknesses
The City of Ocoee's Capital Improvement Program is divided between 1) upgrading existing
facilities and 2) construction of new facilities needed to accommodate new growth in the City
of Ocoee. One of the key efforts at present is the ongoing effort to upgrade and retrofit existing
facilities to meet both flood control/prevention and water quality objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan.
Much of the City's existing infrastructure constructed prior to the late 70's and early 80's was
built initially for flood control purposes and did not incorporate water quality features into
facility designs. Most of the older facilities were designed for smaller design storms and do not
_ meet current design standards. Consequently, a significant portion of the City's resources are
involved in improving inadequate drainage systems in residential and commercial areas to meet
current service levels in terms of both stomiwater runoff quantity and quality requirements.
a. Strengths
(I) Reducing pollutant loads associated with stormwater runoff in the older urbanized
basins by incorporating water quality projects into the Capital Improvement Program
(e.g., regional stormwater ponds, sediment baffle boxes, pollution control devices,
alum treatment systems, etc.).
b. Weaknesses
(1) No weaknesses have been identified in this program element at the present time.
3.4.6 Assessment of Controls
Historically, the City's retrofitting effort for developed areas has been focused on identifying
appropriate facilities for retrofitting and evaluating the potential costs and benefits of the
proposed projects. The City of Ocoee's current philosophy on retrofitting developed areas is
best summarized as follows:
City of Ocoee Page 3-28
Orange County.Flonda MS4 Permit No.F2S00001I October 2002
YEAR 6 ANNUAL REPORT CITY OF OCOEE
• Retrofitting will occur naturally as drainage basin studies are completed to solve flooding
and water quality problems. Capital improvement projects will be undertaken to remedy
existing problems.
• Selective projects will be undertaken each fiscal year to construct cost effective retrofit
controls on existing facilities.
• Limited projects will be undertaken in the foreseeable future to retrofit selected existing
facilities as budgetary constraints allow.
3.4.7 Proposed Element Revisions

3.7.2 Element Activities
a. Activities Completed
(1) Executed an interlocal agreement with Orange County and the co-applicants that
established control of the contribution of pollutants from one permittee's portion of
the municipal system to another permittee's portion of the municipal system.
(2) Created a list of non-storm water discharges allowed to be discharged to the MS4
that is consistent with the non-storm water discharges listed on Page II-18 of the
NPDES MS4 permit. The following is a list of non-storm water discharges allowed
in the City of Ocoee:
• water line flushing;
• lawn watering/landscape irrigation;
• diverted stream flows;
• rising ground waters;
` • uncontaminated ground water infiltration(as defined at 40 CFR 35.2005(20))
to separate storm sewers;
• uncontaminated pumped ground water;
• discharges from potable water sources;
• foundation drains;
• air conditioning condensate;
• springs;
• water from crawl space pumps;
• footing drains;
• individual residential car washing;
• flows from riparian habitats and wetlands;
• dechlorinated swimming pool discharges;
,. • street washers; and
• discharges or flows from emergency fire fighting activities.
., (3) Completed the development of an inspection program to enforce current City
ordinances that prohibit illicit connections and illegal dumping into the MS4
(Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems). The inspection program consists of the
following steps:
Step 1 - The City of Ocoee's Engineering Department will update, on an annual basis,
�. the number of industrial sites within the City limits (refer to Table 3-5)indicate the
business name,address,service provided,SIC(Standard Industrial Classification)code,
and whether or not the site discharges to an on-site stonnwater pond or directly to the
MS4. Currently,there are approximately 166 industrial sites within the City of Ocoee.
City of Ocoee Page 3-39
t
Orange County,Honda MS4 Permit No,FIS00001I October 2002
YEAR 6 ANNUAL REPORT CITY OF OCOEE
Step 2 - The City of Ocoee's Public Works Department will visually inspect the outfall from the
industrial sites tabulated in Step 1 during dry weather conditions. The visual inspection will
determine if non-storm water flows are present or signs of contamination such as residues are within
the outfall pipe or on the ground surface. The City inspection will document their findings with
pictures and completion of a standard form.
Step 3 -If signs of residue and/or flow are present,the inspection will proceed upstream
C in order to track the source of the flow or signs of contamination through the storm line
or from the inlet by systematically opening manholes until the flow is observed entering
the storm line from a specific source or is not present anymore. If the flow is present in
a manhole but not present in the next upstream manhole, the source can generally be
located because the discharge has been isolated to a relatively small area between
manholes. Direct tracking from overland discharges can be easily followed on foot by
an inspector.
Another type of visual inspection,which may be used,is through closed circuit TV. This
involves guiding a camera (which is designed for inspecting wastewater systems)
through the storm line until a source is observed. This type of inspection would be used
when the source of discharge cannot be observed through manholes.
Step 4 - Notify the business owner of the illicit connection and request resolution
immediately. A copy of the notification will be sent to the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA).
Step 5 - If necessary, initiate enforcement action in order to terminate the illicit
Cconnection.
(4) Initiated the illicit connection inspection program associated with industrial sites (refer
to Appendix `A' for copies of the inspection reports).
b. Activities in Progress
(1) Coordinate with Orange Countyregarding a training course and supporting materials
for training City of Ocoee Public Works employees in the procedures and safety
aspects of illicit discharge investigation and documentation.
(2) Create a Storm water Guidance Manual that incorporates specific language regarding
the following:
• Prohibiting the discharge of polluted water into the MS4;
•
Providing for the correction and discontinuance of prohibited discharges;
•
Providing for immediate action under emergency conditions; and
• Liability of pollution abatement.

(2) Developed a monitoring program for industrial facilities within the City of Ocoee.
Of the 166 known industrial sites, as defined by the City of Ocoee, (refer to Table
3-5),38 are considered"high risk"industrial facilities. The City of Ocoee has made
every effort to keep an updated list of industrial sites within the City(refer to table
3-5). The City will continue to monitor the industrial sites for illicit connections.
It should be noted that the majority of Ocoee's industrial sites do not fall under the
EPA classification for industrial sites.
b. Activities in Progress
(1) The City of Ocoee will enhance its enforcement procedures by sending a Notice of
Violation to those facilities having stormwater discharges to the MS4 which violate
water quality standards and then proceed with enforcement actions. A copy of each
` Notice of Violation will be sent to the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA).
(2) High-risk facilities located within the City of Ocoee that discharge into MS4s are
inspected twice a year by City personnel. New high-risk facilities are evaluated to
determine if the new discharge is contributing a substantial pollutant load to the
MS4. This evaluation is performed as part of the occupational license inspection
required for new facilities.

3.14 CONSTRUCTION PLANNING PROCEDURES
Ss
3.14.1 Objective
The objectives of this SWMP element are to:
• Ensure that the City of Ocoee Stormwater Guidance Manual incorporate the use and
maintenance of on-site structural and non-structural controls (best management practices)
to reduce sediments and pollutants discharged to the MS4 during the time of construction.
• Implement the use of structural and non-structural best management practices during
construction to reduce off-site discharges of sediments and pollutants.

•� 3.14.2 Element Activities
The City of Ocoee has been regulating discharges from construction activities to meet earlier
••• City Land Development Code requirements prior to the issuance of the NPDES MS4 permit.
a. Activities Completed
(1) Review erosion and sediment control requirements to determine if modifications arc
necessary to correlate with the appropriate Water Management District requirements
and EPA's NPDES Construction Activity General Permit and summarize the
necessary modifications in the subsequent ANNUAL REPORT.
Currently,all residential,commercial and/or miscellaneous site improvements(e.g.,
building additions and parking lot expansions)require formal review and approval
from the City in order to proceed with construction. Projects involving a proposed
building area less than or equal to 25,000 square feet require review and approval
through the Building Department while projects involving building areas greater than
25,000 square feet,in addition to residential and commercial developments,require
review and approval through the Development Review Committee(DRC). In either
case, as a condition of approval, the City requires the owner and/or developer to
- provide the City with a copy of the approved storm water permit, with conditions,
from the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) prior to the
approval of the site plan, plat or building permit.
Typically, the SJRWMD stormwater permits contain the following language as
conditions for approval of the projects:
• Turbidity barriers must be installed at all locations where the possibility of
transferring suspended solids into the receiving waterbody exists due to the proposed
work. Turbidity barriers must remain in place at all locations until construction is
completed, soils are stabilized and vegetation has been established. Thereafter,the
permittee will be responsible for the removal of the barriers.
• Permittee must select, implement, and operate all erosion and sediment control
measures required to retain sediment on-site and to prevent violations of water
•� quality standards as specified in Chapters 62-301, 62-302, and 62-4, F.A.C. The
permittee is encouraged to use appropriate Best Management Practices(BMP's) for
erosion and sediment control as described in the Florida Land Development Manual:
A Guide to Sound Land and Water Management (DEP, 1988).
• The permittee must construct and maintain a permanent protective vegetative and/or
.� artificial cover for erosion and sediment control on all land surfaces exposed or
disturbed by construction or alteration of the permitted project. Unless modified by
another condition of this permit or specified otherwise on a District-approved erosion
and sediment control plan, this protective cover must be installed within fourteen
City of Ocoee Page 3-65
Orange County,Florida M54 Permit No.FLS00001 I October 2002
YEAR 6 ANNUAL REPORT CITY OF OCOEE
(14) days after final grading of the affected land surfaces. A permanent vegetative
cover must be established within sixty(60) days after planting or installation. The
permittee must maintain cover on adjacent ground surfaces which maybe impacted
by construction activities until the District receives the engineer of record
certification that the project is constructed according to the permitted plans.
• At a minimum,all retention and detention storage areas must be excavated to rough
grade prior to building construction or placement of impervious surface within the
area to be served by those facilities. To prevent reduction in storage volume and
percolation rates, all accumulated sediment must be removed from the storage area
prior to final grading and stabilization.
During a pre-construction meeting, which is required for projects involving DRC
approval, the City, owner and contractor will address and discuss the conditions of
approval and specific conditions contained in the stormwater management permit
issued by the SJRWMD and the SWPPP (Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan)
if the project exceeds five(5) acres of disturbed area.
During construction, if City staff observes violations of the SJRWMD permit, the
City immediately contacts the Water Management District's Compliance Department
and informs the WMD of any observed violations. In addition,the City currently has
the legal authority to revoke a building permit and/or terminate a site construction
permit if the activity,during any stage of work"is not being done in accordance with
the terms of the permit or the applications upon which the same was issued." This
language is contained in the"Code of the City of Ocoee",Chapter 51,Section 51-30,
Pages 51-16 through 51-17.
(2) An inspection form has been developed to track construction projects, which are
required to install erosion and sediment controls and to document the installation,
maintenance and effectiveness of the controls.
b. Activities in Progress
r
(1) Create a Stormwater Guidance Manual that incorporates the necessary erosion and
sediment control requirements.
(2) Develop and incorporate guidelines and recommendations into the Stormwater
Guidance Manual for the reduction of sediment leaving construction sites.
(3) Implement the tracking system and subsequently integrate the records with the
education program for training site contractors.
(4) Continually update the Stormwater Guidance Manual to remain consistent with
regional, state and federal erosion and sediment control regulations.
