  1. HYDINFRA -- Mn/DOT’s Hydraulic Infrastructure DatabaseandIllicit Discharge Inspection Bonnie Peterson, HYDINFRA Coordinator Mn/DOT Bridge Hydraulics

  2. HYDINFRAis Mn/DOT’s Hydraulic Infrastructure Database

  3. HYDINFRA’s Purpose: Manage information about storm drainage system components, including: • Pipes • Hydraulic Structures • Special Hydraulic Structures • Ponds • Structural Pollution Control Devices (SPCDs) • Ditches • Outfalls • Illicit Discharge

  4. MS4 changes to HYDINFRA: • Ponds, SPCDs and Ditches • Outfalls and Illicit Discharge Inspection

  5. Inputs for Mn/DOT’sIllicit Discharge Data Development: • AMEC/Bonestroo’s Illicit Discharge Data Form for Mn/DOT Metro’s MS4 Permit • CWP’s IDDE Guidance Manual • MS4 Permit, Page 9

  6. MS4s must develop, implement and enforce a program to detect and eliminate illicit discharges (with bmps and goals): • With a storm sewer map that has: • Ponds, streams, lakes, wetlands in our system • SPCDs in our system • All Pipes with 24” diameter at minimum but “all conveyances” is requested. • Outfalls – outlets to others’ storm systems (not diffuse flow) • Prohibit non-stormwater discharges and enforce. • Program to “detect non-stormwater discharges including dumping” • Inform employees, business and public of hazards of improper waste disposal and illegal discharge. • (Other mostly clean waters sources are not included unless identified as a problem. Residential car washing, street washing and fire-fighting water plus cleaner water sources aren’t included in illicit discharge.) MS4 Permit Requirements for Illicit Discharge, pg 9 of permit

  7. Illicit Dischargeis a discharge or deposit of polluting materials, liquid or solid, that can be transported to natural waterways.

  8. How Mn/DOT is Inspecting for Illicit Discharges

  9. HYDINFRA Inspectors • Student Workers • Maintenance People • Consultants • Long-Term HYDINFRA Inspectors

  10. Illicit Discharges to Mn/DOT: • Look for: • Unexpected pipes coming into the highway storm drain system. • Pipes flowing when storm drains shouldn’t be. • HYDINFRA can also record deposits of dumped or otherwise deposited polluting materials.

  11. Trimble GPS Units

  12. If Mn/DOT Inspectors find anIllicit Discharge: • Report it to Area Maintenance Supervisor within 24 hours for follow-up. • Accidental chemical spills by trucks are not reported as Illicit Discharge, but are logged by Dispatch and forwarded to MPCA Duty Officer and cleaned up by trucking company’s contractor. Mn/DOT Maintenance does emergency containment.
