8410.0100 shall require the local unit of government to determine if additional local controls are necessary to address the situation. E. If a plan notes the existence of certain land uses that could adversely affect the organization's ability to achieve its water quality goals, and these uses cannot be properly managed or regulated with existing controls, the uses constitute a public nuisance according to Minnesota Statutes, section 609.74. In those cases, the plan must provide for the adoption of local controls to define and abate the nuisances. For the purpose of this chapter, public nuisances may include any action, failure to act, or land use practice that would impair water quality if allowed to continue. Subp. 3. Stormwater and drainage design performance standards. Each plan must contain minimum-- -standards and- provide for appropriate controls for the design of new stormwater conveyance, ponding, and treatment systems consistent with the overall goals of the organization plan and consistent with Minnesota Statutes, section 1038.3365, subdivision 4. Included will be performance standards that provide for: A. the establishment of target in -lake nutrient concentrations and corresponding pollutant loadings for sediment and nutrients; B. the establishment of maximum permissible runoff rates for selected design storms based on considerations such as existing and future flood levels and expected increases in runoff volume with respect to impacts on downstream channels and adjacent development; C. the establishment of standards to reduce the impacts of flooding on natural resources and personal and real property; D. the establishment of design criteria for stormwater outlet structures to address floatable pollutants and to provide for access for maintenance and repair; E. pond design methodology for nutrient entrapment consistent with the subwatershed goals; and F. compliance with pollutant loading for specific subwatersheds consistent with local, regional, and statewide plans in consideration of Pollution Control Agency water quality standards. Subp. 4. Information program. Each plan must provide for the publishing of at least one written communication per year identifying the representatives on the organization's board, current advisory committee members, how to contract the organization, its role in local water management, the goals and policies of the organization, when public meetings are held, how the organization is financed, where the plan can be viewed, and other information relative to the implementation of the plan. The communication may be accomplished through the publication of a newsletter, publication of all or a portion of an annual report, an article or news release submitted to a local 13
