§ 1011.03 JURISDICTION. <br />The provisions of this chapter shall apply to all lands within the incorporated boundaries of <br />Lino Lakes. <br />§ 1011.04 STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION. <br />This chapter is adopted pursuant to the authorization and policies contained in M.S. Chapters <br />103B, 103F, and 462 and Minn. Rules Chapters 7050, 7090, and 8410. This chapter is intended <br />to meet the current construction site erosion and sediment control and post -construction <br />stormwater management regulatory requirements for construction activity and small construction <br />activity as defined in the standards of the NPDES construction general permit, as amended. <br />§ 1011.05 FINDINGS. <br />The city finds that uncontrolled stormwater runoff and construction site erosion from land <br />development and land disturbing activity can have significant adverse impacts upon local and <br />regional water resources diminishing the quality of public health, safety, public and private <br />property, and natural resources of the city. Specifically, uncontrolled construction site erosion <br />and stormwater runoff can: <br />1) Threaten public health, safety, property, and general welfare by increasing runoff volumes, <br />peak flood flows, and overburdening storm sewers, drainage ways, and other storm drainage <br />systems; <br />2) Diminish the capacity of lakes and streams to support fish, aquatic life, and recreational and <br />water supply uses by increasing pollutant loadings of total sediment, suspended solids, nutrients, <br />heavy metals, bacteria, pathogens, and other urban pollutants; <br />3) Degrade physical stream habitat by increasing stream bank erosion, increasing stream bed <br />scour, diminishing groundwater recharge, diminishing stream base flows, and increasing stream <br />temperatures; <br />4) Undermine floodplain management efforts by increasing the incidence and levels of <br />flooding; <br />5) Alter wetland communities by changing wetland hydrology and increasing pollutant <br />loading; and <br />6) Generate airborne particulate concentrations that are health threatening or may cause other <br />damage to property or the environment. <br />DRAFT ORD 09-15 CHAPTER 1011STORMWATER & ESC ORDINANCE.DOCX <br />3/29 <br />
