<br /> <br /> <br />Feasibility Report <br />Northeast Lino Lakes Drainage Improvement Project <br />WSB Project No. 2029-790 Page 7 <br />must limit stormwater discharge rates to no more than 1% of the existing runoff rates (Houston <br />Engineering, Inc. 2013). In addition to limiting runoff rates, new developments must also treat <br />their stormwater onsite to meet the water quality and volume reduction requirements of Rule C. <br />Unfortunately the soils underlying the majority of the study area are poorly suited for infiltration <br />and cannot meet the volume reduction requirement of Rule C. This has resulted in temporary <br />infrastructure being built for stormwater irrigation because there was not an alternate way to <br />meet the RCWD rules for surface water quality and storage. <br /> <br />In addition to poor underlying soils, the study area also has a significant amount of wetlands <br />(Appendix A, Figure 4), which limit stormwater management opportunities. A detailed wetland <br />analysis is included in Appendix C. <br />
