~~r-~iNC ~ ~ssoa.or~s <br />TRUt UORTO <br />Memo <br />TO: Honorable Chair and Planning Commission Members <br />FROM: Lee Elfering, City Engineer <br />DATE: September 5, 2008 <br />RE: Erosion Control Ordinance <br /> Stormwater Management Ordinance <br />Attached are the Erosion Control and Stormwater Management Ordinances that have <br />been developed by City staff for adoption by the City. Both of these will be new <br />additions to the City ordinances and were developed using the Northland Nonpoint <br />Education for Municipal Officials (NEMO) draft ordinance. Staff further refined and <br />tailored the ordinance to address the specific needs of the City. <br />In general the Erosion Ordinance requires best management practices to be followed as <br />part of any land disturbance project. Land disturbance projects over 20,000 square feet <br />will require permitting by the City and preparation of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention <br />Plan (SWPPP) by the applicant. <br />The purpose of the Stormwater Management Ordinance is to update the minimum <br />requirements for Stormwater treatment and management for new development and <br />redevelopment. The Ordinance follows the Ramsey Washington Watershed rules for <br />sites over 1 acre, but also provides requirements for areas larger than 20,000 square <br />feet of disturbance. <br />We ask that you review the ordinances and provide any comments or recommendations <br />for the City Council. If you have any questions please call me at (763) 780-0450 <br />extension 13. <br />10062 Flanders Court NE -Blaine, MN 55449 - Ph: (763) 780-0450 Fax (763) 780-0452 <br />Memo-090508-PC (Ordinances) <br />
