4. Storm Water Management Purpose of Storm Water Management Plan The City has developed this Water Resources Management Plan (WRMP) section of the City's Comprehensive Plan to meet regulatory requirements, and to plan for future alterations in the existing drainage system due to redevelopment activities. The City is within the Capitol Region Watershed District (CRWD), the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization, and the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD), as shown on Figure 9, on the following page. The CRWD completed its Stormwater Management Plan in 2000, and the RCWD completed its Water Resource Management Plan in 1997. Since the City is located entirely within two watershed districts that implement extensive surface water management programs, and the lack of surface water features within the City, the City wishes to use this section to serve as its local water plan. The City will continue to work to ensure the City's Goals and Policies and Development Standards are consistent with both Watershed Districts as the plans and rules are revised. Most of the City is located within the Capital Region Watershed District, and the City uses their plan and rules as a guide to implementing stormwater management policies within the City. The City is completely developed with a mix of commercial, residential, public, and open space uses. The public space consists of the University of Minnesota - St. Paul Campus and the State Fairgrounds. • Water Resource Management Agreements Storm sewer maintenance agreements are in-place between the City and both MnDOT and Ramsey County. The agreement with MnDOT is for the Snelling Avenue reconstruction project through Falcon Heights, and states that the City is responsible for storm sewer facilities located outside the Snelling Avenue rights-of--way. The City is therefore only responsible under this agreement for the Snelling Avenue East and West Frontage Road storm sewer systems and their connections to the Snelling Avenue trunk line. The agreement with Ramsey County states that the City has a responsibility for maintaining the trunk storm sewer lines and connections from City storm sewer systems for all County Road segments throughout the City. • Falcon Heights Comprehensive Plan 2008 Draft -January, 2008 Part III: Infrastructure, Page III-24
