RICL CREEK( WATERSHED DISTRICT October 23, 2008 To Distribution List (Attached): 4325 Pheasant Ridge Dr. NE #611 • Blaine, MN 55449 -4539 Phone 763 - 398 -3070 • Fax: 763 - 398 -3088 www.ricecreek.org The Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) recently completed a resource management plan (RMP) for an area within the City of Lino Lakes.1 The area addressed by the RMP encompasses 15 "resource management units" or subwatershed areas within Lino Lakes and much of the area drained by four public ditch systems: Anoka County Ditches 10- 22 -32, 25, 55 and 72. On September 24, 2008, the RMP was approved by the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources as a comprehensive wetland protection and management plan pursuant to Minnesota Statutes §103G.2243 and Minnesota Rules 8420.0650. These laws require that the RMP be implemented through an adopted rule. The enclosed proposed rule, Rule RMP -3, is for this purpose. This letter offers an overview of the purposes and terms of the proposed rule. A reading of the RMP itself, however, is recommended for the much greater detail it provides. The RMP is available at the RCWD offices or at www.ricecreek.org. The proposed rule has been approved by the RCWD Board of Managers for distribution and solicitation of public comments. The RCWD invites your review and comment. Written comments must be submitted to my attention by December 12, 2008. In addition, the RCWD Board of Managers will hold a public hearing on the proposed rule at 9:00 a.m., November 26, 2008, in Council Chambers, Shoreview City Hall, 4600 Victoria Street North, Shoreview MN. 1 "Lino Lakes Resource Management Plan" (June 2008).
