SUMMARY PUBLICATION
BILL NO. 2021-1
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING
SUBSECTION 721.03 OF
THE RICHFIELD CITY
CODE OF ORDINANCES
PERTAINING TO
CONNECTIONS AND
DISCHARGES TO THE
STORMWATER SYSTEM
On January 26, 2021, the Rich-
field City Council adopted an ordi-
nance designated as Bill No. 2021-
1, the title of which is stated above.
This summary of the ordinance is
published pursuant to Section 3.12
of the Richfield City Charter.
The purpose of this ordinance
is to protect the health of the City's
stormwater infrastructure and wa-
terways by prohibiting the illegal
discharges of certain substances
and pollutants into the stormwater
system. This ordinance amend-
ment adds "chloride -based deic-
ers. including but not limited to so-
dium chloride (NaCp. magnesium
chloride (MgQ12). and calcium chlo-
ride QC12)" to the list of pollutants
which are prohibited from being
discharged into the stormwater
system. Expanding the definition of
pollutants to include deicing chem-
icals will allow the City to better en-
force unauthorized salt storage or
excessive salt use. Noncompliance
with enforcement actions can result
in discontinued access to the Mu-
nicipal Separate Storm Sewer Sys-
tem (MS4) but is exceedingly rare.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED,
that the City Clerk is directed to
keep a copy of the Ordinance in her
office at City Hall for public inspec-
tion during normal business hours
and to post a full copy of the Ordi-
nance in a public place in the City
for a period of two weeks. Copies
of the ordinance are also available
upon request by calling the Public
Works Department at (612) 861-
9170.
Adopted by the City Council of
the City of Richfield, Minnesota,
this 26th day of January, 2021.
