Item No. 13-071
Date: February 11, 2013
Item/Subject: Order, Ratifying the Application for a $30,000 Grant from the US EPA
Pollution Prevention Office
Responsible Department: Finance
Commentary: This order will ratify a $30,000 grant application to the United States
Environmental Protection (EPA) Pollution prevention (P2) Program. The Pollution Prevention
funding focuses on projects targeted at reducing or eliminating stormwater pollutants at the
source (or at the beginning of the pipe).
If approved, the proposed project will include the installation of sixty (60) FABCO Catch Basin
Insert Filters. Ten (10) filters will be installed in the closest and most downgradient outfall
locations at each one of our six (6) impaired streams. Each FABCO Catch Basin Insert Filter
captures 300 pounds of grit, sediment, gravel fines, sand, cigarette butts, leaves and other
roadside detritus. The amounts captured from each of these sixty (60) Structural Best
Management Practices (BMPs) will be reported as part of our Annual MS4 permit to the Maine
DEP and the US EPA. Information collected will be used to notify state and federal regulators as
to the amount of pollutants that were captured and thus prevented from entering our urban
impaired streams. The total amount of funding being requested is $30,000 and requires a 5%
match, which will be provided through in-kind staff time.
This was reviewed and recommended for approval by the Finance Committee on February 4,
2013
