Title
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MARGATE, FLORIDA, APPROVING AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT (ILA) WITH BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA, FOR THE SHARING OF RESOURCE BURDENS OF THE SYSTEM-WIDE SERVICES ASSOCIATED WITH THE NATIONAL POLLUTION DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM (NPDES) MUNICIPAL SEPARATE STORM SEWER SYSTEM (MS4) PERMIT PROGRAM AND AUTHORIZING BROWARD COUNTY TO CONDUCT TECHNICAL ACTIVITIES REQUIRED BY THE PERMIT.
BACKGROUND: The EPA, by way of the Water Quality Act of 1987, 33 U.S.C. 1251, and 40 CFR 122.42(c), requires the County and the Municipalities to comply with the applicable conditions of the NPDES MS4 Permit Program. The EPA has recommended that Broward County act as "lead permittee" and the Municipalities act as "co-permittees.” Previous ILA’s for the program were executed on December 3, 1996, October 20, 1998, June 29, 2004, May 7, 2013, and November 7, 2017. The most recent ILA will terminate at the issuance of the next iteration of the NPDES MS4 Permit.
This Agreement will allow the City of Margate to continue to share resources with Broward County and other participating Municipalities to implement the requirements of the NPDES MS4 Permit Program.
