April 27, 2009 Item No. 7D Page 2 Discussion: LSWMP Approval Process Upon receiving review comments from the RCWD and the Metropolitan Council, Bonestroo prepared a final version of the LSWMP (dated April 2009) and a response letter to address the RCWD comments. The response letter included the pages from the LSWMP that were revised to address the comments. A total of eight pages were revised, and also the overall stormwater system map. A copy of the response letter, the revised LSWMP pages, and revised map are attached to this Staff Report for reference. For the sake of convenience, only those revised pages and the revised map from the LSWMP are provided with this Staff Report. Should Council wish to review any other portion or the entire LSWMP, they are referred to their copy of the Agency Review Draft, from the City Council work session of February 2, 2009. Pursuant to Minnesota Statute 103B.235, Mounds View’s LSWMP dated April 2009 was reviewed and approved by the Rice Creek Watershed District on April 22, 2009. The approval letter from the RCWD and the RCWD Board of Managers Resolution 2009-16 approving the LSWMP dated April 2009 are attached to this Staff Report for reference. According to Minnesota Statute 103B.235, Mounds View shall adopt the approved LSWMP within 120 days of approval by the RCWD. The LSWMP is adopted via resolution. Resolution 7447 has been prepared for this purpose, and is included with this Staff Report. Once the LSWMP is adopted by the City, a copy will be forwarded to the RCWD for their file. A copy of the adopted LSWMP must also be forwarded to Metropolitan Council, along with the dates of RCWD approval and City adoption of the LSWMP. Copies of Resolution 2009-16 from RCWD and Resolution 7447 from the City will be provided to the Metropolitan Council as proof of the dates. MS4 Mapping Components The MS4 permit is administered by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and is not under the jurisdiction of RCWD. Therefore, only those revisions to the Stormwater System Map necessary to address the RCWD comments were completed for submittal and approval at the RCWD April 22, 2009 Board meeting. Therefore, the copy of the Stormwater System Map included with this Staff Report, which is the version that was provided to RCWD, is not the final version that includes the MS4 information. However, as authorized by the City Council under Resolution 7439, Bonestroo has updated the Stormwater System Map in the LSWMP to include the required information in accordance with the MS4 permit. The combined map is going through final review by City Staff now, and is anticipated to be printed in its final form on April 27, 2009.
