GOALS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS <br />Since the last Local Water Management Plan revision, the City has taken great steps to make headway on meeting their goals. The following is a summary of the progress being made so far: <br />· Establishment of the Woolens Wetland Bank <br />· Development of TMDLs for the Lino Lakes Chain of Lakes and the Upper Mississippi River <br />· Development of the Northeast Lino Lakes Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan <br />· Updates and revisions to the City’s Stormwater, Erosion Control and Floodplain Ordinances <br />· Compliance with the City’s MS4 permit program and required annual updates <br />· Application for numerous grants to help fund water resources projects within the City <br />5. LOCAL IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM <br />5.1 Implementation Activities <br />The implementation activities identified in this Section of the Plan were taken from previously conducted planning and/or resource management documents or they are new activities developed as part of the planning process. <br />The actions listed below represent the ideal list of implementation activities with full funding, which is currently beyond the City’s resources. As a means of prioritizing, and aligning the efforts with a more attainable funding level, or <br />until additional funding becomes available, the activities identified in Tables 5-24 and 5-25 represent a synthesized and focused list of actions for city implementation. Appendix E provides a list of the proposed city-wide and RMU- <br />specific actions in the plan making up the implementation cost table shown in Table 5-24. Implementation activities are categorized as follows: <br />· City Wide Actions - Includes implementation activities that apply on a broader scale <br />· RMU Specific Actions – Includes implementation activities that have been identified for the three highest priority RMUs: Reshanau RMU, Marshan RMU and Clearwater Creek RMU <br />· Miscellaneous RMU Actions - Includes implementation activities that have been identified for the remaining RMUs <br />Table 5-23.
