City of Lino Lakes SWMP | February 8, 2013 Draft | 85 After this Plan is approved by the watershed organizations, the City of Lino Lakes will adopt and implement the Plan within 120 days and will update and approve its ordinan ces and official controls to be consistent with this Plan within 180 days. 6.3. Amendments to Surface Water Management Plan The City of Lino Lakes intends that this Plan extend through 2021. The City may need to revise this Plan prior to the next update for it to remain a useful long -term planning tool. Plan amendments will be needed if significant changes are required involving goals, policies, administrative procedures, funding or the capital improvement program, or if problems arise that are not addressed in the Plan. This Plan will remain in full effect through 2021 unless an updated plan is approved prior to that date. Technical information (i.e. from City -led studies and monitoring and new data from City partners) will require frequent updating. Th e City intends to post this updated information on the City website. Technical information that results in new action items will be incorporated into City operations through implementation of the City’s programs, projects and watershed management strategi es as appropriate. Generally, these technical updates and studies are considered part of the normal City operations consistent with the intent of this Plan and will not trigger a Plan amendment. However, when the new technical information or study findin gs result in a significant policy change, or the District intends to initiate a program or construct a capital improvement not sufficiently identified in the Plan, a plan amendment will be required. All major amendments to the Plan that deviate from the existing Plan scope and direction will be submitted to the Rice Creek Watershed District and the Vadnais Lake Area Watershed Management Organization for review and approval. The review process is 60 days unless the City agrees to an extension of the review period. The Plan amendment may also be submitted to the Metropolitan Council for a 45 -day review to be incorporated into the review of the RCWD and VLAWMO.
