RCWD Policy: Use the range of legal process and funding sources available to the RCWD to manage the public drainage and currently designated trunk system during the implementation of the hybrid legal framework, which includes Minnesota Statutes 103E, 1030, and 103B. Until implementation of the hybrid legal framework is completed for a public drainage system or currently designated trunk system, funding approaches may include: 1) the use of ad valorem funds to complete minor maintenance; 2) the use of proceedings as described within MS 103E and assessments to benefited lands when permits and /or wetland mitigation is required; 3) and various combinations of 103E, 1030 and 103B for systems where a repair report has been adopted and implemented., and 4) Ad- valorem funds the maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, or restoration of the trunk drainage system. RCWD Goal: Minimize the potential damage to public and private infrastructure, private property, the land and other important water related natural resources caused by excess runoff and flooding. RCWD Policy: Minimize, avoid and reduce flood damages through the use of a floodplain management program including analyses completed by the District, which is focused on identifying and assessing flood prone areas, characterizing flood damages and regulating the placement of structures within the floodplain. RCWD Policy: Use the District rules and the permit program to mitigate the increase in the rate and volume of runoff resulting from land disturbance, land development, an increase in the amount of impervious surface, and other changes to the landscape. RCWD Policy: Preserve and manage the storage associated with the 100 -year floodplain along and within water - bodies to minimize the frequency and severity of flooding cause by high water. RCWD Policy: Recognize the potential uncertainty associated with managing water resources and understand the implications of emerging issues including climate change, the use of monitoring data, and the interpretation of scientific and technical data, in the decision- making process. RCWD Policy: Foster and encourage the use of agricultural conservation practices and management practices, and the implementation urban Best Management Practices, to reduce the rate and volume of runoff. RCWD Policy: Foster and encourage the use of regional Best Management Practices, to reduce the rate and volume of runoff. RCWD Goal: Construct, maintain and operate facilities owned or operated by the District in accordance with their resource management purposes and gage their effectiveness over time. RCWD Policy: Manage district -owned facilities subject to Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) program requirements consistent with permit conditions and facilitate data sharing among public entities within the District, subject to MS4 program requirements.
