• • CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 6Bii STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala MEETING DATE: September 10, 2012 TOPIC: Consideration of Resolution No. 12 -96, Approving Stormwater Maintenance Agreement with RCWD, Lake /Main & Birch/Ware Signal Improvements VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 INTRODUCTiON Staff is requesting council action to approve a stormwater maintenance agreement with the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) covering stormwater facilities constructed as part of the Lake /Main and Birch/Ware Signal improvements. BACKGROUND The intersection improvement project includes the construction of stormwater facilities, i.e., catch basins, pipe, infiltration basins and ponds to convey street surface water and provide water treatment prior to entering public waters. The City is subject to the permit requirements of the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD). The RCWD board issued a conditional approval for permit 12 -040 on June 27, 2012. Condition 4 of the permit requires the City to enter into a maintenance agreement for all onsite stormwater features. The agreement requires the City to perform inspections and maintenance on the stormwater facilities. This includes annual inspections of lines, structures and infiltration basins. Ponds are required to be inspected once annually in the first two years following construction and every five years thereafter. These requirements are generally consistent with the parameters the city already operates under with the exception of the line and structure inspections which we perform on a five year basis. Under the terms of the Joint Powers Agreement with Anoka County the city is responsible for pond maintenance and the county is responsible for lines and structures. RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 12 -96. ATTACHMENTS 1. Resolution No. 12 -96 2. RCWD Stormwater Maintenance Agreement
