1 0/24/94 <br />CITY OF <br />LINO LAS <br />Standards for Facility Design <br />M.S. 1038.3365: Water Retention <br />During the 1991 legislative session, a law was enacted which <br />discusses requirements for water retention. The requirements <br />apply to all new development that covers or replaces surface <br />vegetation with an impervious surface of one acre or more. A <br />reprint of the law and guideline published by the Board of Water <br />and Soil Resources are in Appendix H of the Reference Manual. <br />If the Standards for Facility Design in this plan are followed, the <br />requirements of the law will be met. Deviations from the local <br />plans standards will require an explanation to the City as to how <br />M.S. 103B.3365 will be satisfied. <br />Wetland Conservation Act of 1991 <br />The City will be the local government unit and this will administer <br />the requirements outlined in the Wetland Conservation Act of <br />1991. All development within the City will adhere to the <br />requirements outlined in the rules. A copy of the rules is enclosed <br />in the Reference Manual, Appendix G. <br />The City will administer the RCWD policies for alterations not <br />addressed in WCA. The City's permit program shall encompass <br />;wetland alterations due to excavation, water level changes, or other <br />activities which alter the character of a wetland. In administering <br />this program and evaluating proposed wetland alterations, the City <br />will apply the same general purposes and procedures that apply <br />under WCA. In addition, the following specific criteria will be <br />used to evaluate these types of wetland alterations: <br />• Creation of open water areas shall be done in conformance <br />with the "General Design Consideration for Wildlife Pond <br />Construction and Wetland Alterations," included in <br />Appendix B of the User's Manual. <br />• Wetlands may be used for stormwater storage and <br />treatment only if it can be shown that the character of the <br />wetland will not be adversely affected by substantially <br />increased sediment load, tributary area, or water level <br />fluctuations. <br />Local Water Management Plan SEH NO: LINOL9402.00 <br />Users Manual Page 21 <br />
