The City was issued a new permit in October of 2021. Additionally, the City is <br />required to be in conformance with the rules and requirements of the local water management <br />organizations (WMO’s) – the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) and Vadnais Lakes <br />Water Management Organization. <br />The proposed ordinance amendment is to bring our code requirements into conformance with <br />the permit and WMO’S standards and simplify administration of the code. <br />The RCWD covers the majority of the city with VLAWMO jurisdiction limited to a few <br />hundred acres in the southeast portion of the City.
