5.2.1 Reshanau RMU Subwatershed Table 9. RMU Specific Actions: Reshanau RMU Actions identified by Issue Category WATER RATE & QUANTITY Work with RCWD to develop management plans (including outlet control structures and vegetation management) for Wards Lake and Cedar Lake which are currently controlled by ditched outlets. WATER QUALITY Address pollutant loads to Reshanau Lake, Cedar Lake and Wards Lake as well as those smaller lakes contributing to overall loads. Work with RCWD to investigate water quality benefits of a control structure for Cedar lake. WETLAND MANAGEMENT Incorporate interspersed upland areas into the greenway corridor of the wetland plant communities comprising the backbone of the Ditch 25 system in order to increase habitat functioning of the wetlands and provide passive recreation. Work with RCWD to develop a restoration plan for partially drained wetlands of the Ditch 25 system to attain wetland restoration credit. Implement Cedar Lake Restoration Project and explore options for wetland mitigation credit. FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT Address the three areas where road overtopping occurs in the RMU in conjunction with surrounding development proposals. PUBLIC DITCH SYSTEM Collaborate with the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) to design the ACD -25 ditch corridor in a way that will help mitigate the impacts of increased flows and volumes within the corridor. Minimize road crossings of ACD -25 in order to maintain a continuous corridor. It is also recommended that field crossings be eliminated or converted into trail crossings as development occurs. In some cases these crossings are serving as rate control features. At the time that they are proposed to be altered, downstream impacts would need to be assessed and a mitigation strategy would need to be developed if needed. GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT No implementation activities identified. NATURAL RESOURCES No implementation activities identified. EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL Encourage property owners to restore their shoreline with native plants to reduce erosion, capture direct runoff, and to limit removal of beneficial vegetation that is perceived to be a nuisance or undesirable.
