5.3. Other RMU Actions This section includes implementation activities that have been identified for the remaining Resource Management Units (RMUs), or subwatersheds, in the City of Lino Lakes. Most of the area in these RMUs lies outside of proposed development areas through 2030. Therefore, these actions generally have a low priority for implementation. As this section illustrates, there are fewer implementation activities identified for these RMUs because of their low priority relative to those presented in Section 5.2 RMU Specific Actions. As a result, if the need arises to develop a subwatershed management plan or Resource Management Plan for these RMUs, the level of effort required to develop that plan for these RMUs may be greater than for the previously discussed RMUs. 5.3.1 George Watch RMU Subwatershed Table 12. RMU Specific Actions: George Watch RMU WATER RATE & QUANTITY Implement a network of BMPs in the conveyance area along Lake Drive NE to reduce stormwater discharges from pond which currently outlets to a channel and ultimately enters stormwater-sensitive wetland complex (located north of I -35W and south of Oak Lane). Work with the commercial area north of George Watch Lake to implement stormwater retrofits (e.g. rain gardens and pervious pavements) that will achieve volume control to mitigate loading to the large and highly susceptible coniferous swamp located next to George Watch Lake. WATER QUALITY Develop source control plan, in conjunction with new development for areas in the George Watch RMU north of Hwy 14 to prevent loading to wetlands along with source control retrofits in areas draining to groundwater wetlands. Implement watershed -based measures to reduce the inputs from the direct drainage area to George Watch Lake once the nutrient reduction goal is established as part of the Chain of Lakes TMDL. FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT Address the area where there is less than 1 foot of freeboard on the road. REGULATIONS, PERMITTING AND REPORTING Develop Subwatershed Management Plan. 5.3.2 Rondeau RMU Subwatershed Table 13. RMU Specific Actions: Rondeau RMU WATER RATE & QUANTITY Employ Better Site Design (BSD) and volume control strategies to maintain recharge and avoid stormwater discharges to Rondeau Lake. Bet WETLAND MANAGEMENT Protect the large wetlands in the drainage area west of Rondeau Lake from stormwater input and from use for stormwater treatment. REGULATIONS, PERMITTING AND REPORTING Develop Resource Management System Plan. City of Lino Lakes SWMP 1 December 20151 85
