Though much has been done to clean up our waters, much work remains.
Sewer overflows and runoff from farms and city streets threaten the life-sustaining properties of our waters, endanger human health and wildlife, and result in thousands of beach closings each year.
The City of Palm Bay is dedicated to preserving the water quality of the community in order to protect, maintain and enhance the immediate and long term health, safety and general welfare of the citizens in Palm Bay. Through requirements established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the City has identified tasks which will meet these needs.
The City of Palm Bay, being classified as an operator of a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4), is required to:
-
Obtain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for authorization to discharge pollutants, and
-
Create a stormwater management program (SWMP) designed to prevent harmful pollutants from being washed by stormwater runoff into the system (or from being directly dumped into the MS4), then discharged from the MS4 into the local water bodies.
The EPA established the following categories, or "Minimum Control Measures," to meet the requirements of this program:
-
Public Education and Outreach
-
Public Participation/Involvement
-
Illicit Discharge and Detection and Elimination
-
Construction Site Runoff Controls
-
Post-Construction Runoff Control
- Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping
