2008 Mounds View Comprehensive Plan ________________________________________________________________________ Chapter 5: Public Facilities 5-12 The City’s SWPPP contains several best management practices within each of the listed control measures. These were identified using a self-evaluation and input process with City staff. The City’s current SWPPP document can be found on the City’s website: www.ci.mounds-view.mn.us/. The City’s permit application and SWPPP were submitted to the MPCA and MS4 permit coverage was officially extended on May 6, 2008. Surface Water Management Issues and Possible Corrective Actions As required by statute and Metropolitan Council requirements, the Mounds View LSWMP identifies water resources issues that Mounds View might have some responsibility for or participation in (see Table 6.3 in the LSWMP). Possible corrective actions are presented for each issue. In some cases Mounds View’s role is prominent in the corrective action. In the cases of more regional issues, Mounds View’s role is less prominent – more that of a willing supporter. The Implementation Plan is built around addressing more local issues through city-led corrective actions. Goals and Policies The goals and policies in the City’s LSWMP reflect current City policy and the City’s current SWPPP, as well as additional goals and policies necessary for consistency with the goals and policies of State, Regional, and local watershed authorities. More specifically, the City’s goals and policies reflect those identified in the RCWD WMP for subwatersheds 13a and 16. The following is a selection of the City’s goals and policies that correspond to Met Council’s requirements for the establishment of goals and policies is provided in Appendix B-2 of the Water Resources Management Policy Plan. A complete list of the City’s surface water management goals and policies can be found in Section 7 of the City’s LSWMP. • The City will strive for the nondegradation of receiving waters within the City by enforcing current surface water management standards, and in cooperation with RCWD rules. This policy is consistent with Policy B.1 in the RCWD WMP. • The City will cooperate with the RCWD to identify possible activities to improve water quality in Spring Lake. This includes the findings presented in Phase II of the RCWD Southwest Urban Lakes Study. This policy is consistent with Policy E.5 in the RCWD WMP. • Continue to enforce the City’s existing Construction Site and Land Disturbance Runoff Control ordinance (City Code Chapter 1303), updating this ordinance as necessary to maintain consistency with state and RCWD guidance as outlined in the NPDES, MS4 permit. This policy is consistent with BMP 4-1 in the City’s SWPPP and Policies C.4 and C.5 in the RCWD WMP. • The City will require that a wetland inventory and assessment be prepared for any new development, redevelopment, or site expansion project containing a wetland. Minnesota Routine Assessment Methodology (current version) is the required method of assessment for evaluating wetland functions and values.
