2. GUEST: TOM BRENNAN -STORM DRAINAGE CRITERIA.
Tom Brennan, Utilities Engineer, appeared to discuss the proposed Englewood Storm
Drainage Criteria Manual. The Federal Clean Water Act now requires stormwater
discharges be authorized under a General Permit for Stormwater Discharge issued by the
Colorado Department of Health and Environment, Water Quality Control Division. The
Colorado Discharge Permit System, under Regulation 61, states that the City is
responsible for the quality of the stormwater discharged from our jurisdiction.
The Storm Drainage Criteria Manual would grant City staff the authority to address
drainage and water quality mandates that have been imposed by the EPA and the
Colorado Department of Health. The criteria manual gives guidelines to design engineers
and property owners for minimum standards for stormwater drainage and water quality.
The Storm Drainage Criteria Manual will be placed under Title 12 of the Englewood
Municipal Code, which makes the Water and Sewer Board responsible for administrativ e
review and appeal.

original design. In addition , they must now pump sludge and carbon granules , which are
abrasive materials. Replacement pumps are needed for handling the additional volume ,
abrasive materials and settled solids from the pretreatment settling process.
