This ordinance is intended to meet the current construction site erosion and sediment control and post - construction stormwater management regulatory requirements for construction activity and small construction activity (NPDES Permit) as defined in 40 Code of Federal Regulations pt. 122.26(b)(14)(x) and (b)(15), respectively. 1011.01 FINDINGS The City of Lino Lakes finds that uncontrolled stormwater runoff and construction site erosion from land development and land disturbing activity can have significant adverse impacts upon local and regional water resources diminishing the quality of public health, safety, public and private property, and natural resources of the City. Specifically, uncontrolled construction site erosion and stormwater runoff can: (1) Threaten public health, safety, property, and general welfare by increasing runoff volumes, peak flood flows, and overburdening storm sewers, drainage ways, and other storm drainage systems; (2) Diminish the capacity of lakes and streams to support fish, aquatic life, and recreational and water supply uses by increasing pollutant loadings of total sediment, suspended solids, nutrients, heavy metals, bacteria, pathogens, and other urban pollutants; Alternative Format 1
