3 <br /> (3) Degrade physical stream habitat by increasing stream bank erosion, <br />increasing stream bed scour, diminishing groundwater recharge, diminishing stream <br />base flows, and increasing stream temperatures; <br /> (4) Undermine floodplain management efforts by increasing the incidence and <br />levels of flooding; <br /> (5) Alter wetland communities by changing wetland hydrology and increasing <br />pollutant loading; and <br /> (6) Generate airborne particulate concentrations that are health -threatening or <br />may cause other damage to property or the environment. <br />(Ord. 09-15, passed 10-26-2015) <br /> <br />§ 1011.003 JURISDICTION. <br />The provisions of this chapter shall apply to all lands within the incorporated <br />boundaries of Lino Lakes. <br />(Ord. 09-15, passed 10-26-2015) <br /> <br />§ 1011.004 STATUTORY AUTHORITY. <br />This chapter is adopted pursuant to the authorization and policies contained in M.S. <br />Chs. 103B, 103F, and 462 and Minn. Rules Chs. 7050, 7090, and 8410. This chapter is <br />intended to meet the current construction site erosion and sediment control and post- <br />construction stormwater management regulatory requirements for construction activity <br />and small construction activity as defined in the standards of the NPDES construction <br />general permit, as amended. <br />(Ord. 09-15, passed 10-26-2015) <br /> <br />§ 1011.005 FINDINGSADOPTION BY REFERENCE. <br /> The city finds that uncontrolled stormwater runoff and construction site erosion from <br />land development and land disturbing activity can have significant adverse impacts <br />upon local and regional water resources diminishing the quality of public health, safety, <br />public and private property, and natural resources of the city. Specifically, uncontrolled <br />construction site erosion and stormwater runoff can: <br /> (1) Threaten public health, safety, property, and general welfare by increasing runoff <br />volumes, peak flood flows, and overburdening storm sewers, drainage ways, and other <br />storm drainage systems; <br /> (2) Diminish the capacity of lakes and streams to support fish, aquatic life, <br />recreational and water supply uses by increasing pollutant loadings of total sediment, <br />suspended solids, nutrients, heavy metals, bacteria, pathogens, and other urban <br />pollutants;
