Rice Creek Watershed District Watershed Management Plan Chapter 8. Watershed Plan Administration (b) Level 2 — must include the specific local ordinances and demonstrate that they are in compliance with RCWD rules or include at a minimum that the city adopts RCWD rules and regulation by reference (see Section 8.3.2). 5. Municipalities must also show that the community discharge is equal to or less than the inter - community rates established in the District Wide Modeling. If the rate is not met, then the Local Plan must include measures to reduce the rate. (a) Level 1 — must acknowledge and identify those locations where flows leave the City and are transferred downstream, with some assessment of the estimated rate assuming full build out conditions and describe measures being implemented to reduce flows if necessary. (b) Level 2 — must acknowledge and identify those locations where flows leave the City and are transferred downstream, with an assessment of how the rules applied by the City under current full build out conditions reduce flows if necessary. 6. Describe the methods that will be used to control and manage post- construction stormwater associated with development and redevelopment. The appropriate portion of the MS4 SWPPP prepared in accordance with Permit No. MNR040000 may be incorporated by reference to satisfy this requirement. 7. Identify regulated areas. These include RMP boundaries, Wetland Protection Zones, Ecological Management Corridor, and High Quality Wetlands, areas identified as high quality by the Minnesota County Biological Survey. 8. Set forth an implementation program, including a description of official controls and, as appropriate, a capital improvement program. In addition to the statutory requirements, these items should be addressed and conform to the requirements established in this Plan: 1. Identify land- locked sub - watershed units and basins and strategies to manage water volumes in those land- locked areas to minimize flooding. 2. Indentify impaired waters, and establish policies and actions to address TMDL goals. 3. Identify Key Conservation Areas in this Plan in their community, and assess the adequacy of local policies and regulatory controls in place to conserve hydrologic and ecologic values of the resources within those Areas. The plan must set forth a plan and schedule for the amendment of those policies and controls as necessary to meet performance standards established in Plans. 4. A discussion of the geologic features, groundwater sensitivity, groundwater dependent natural resource and groundwater discharge and recharge areas including the identification of potential land uses affecting groundwater. 5. Generally identify ideas / opportunities for projects and programs intended to improve resource management, which may be jointly implemented with the RCWD. 6. Describe the conformance of the municipality with NPDES requirements for MS4 permits, including TMDL and Non - degradation (if applicable) requirements. The local plan must include the Stormwater Pollution Prevent Plan (SWPPP) or a summary of its contents and incorporate the plan by reference. 7. Identify erosion and sediment control ordinances for sites less than 1 acre in size. RCWD Account No. 70-08 -4500 HEI Project No. 5555-035.01 January 4, 2010 8-6
