City of Mounds View Page 3 <br />LSWMP Proposal June 19, 2008 <br />Task 2: Miscellaneous Report Content Development <br />On May 25, 2005, Metropolitan Council adopted its 2030 Water Resources Policy <br />Management Plan (2030 Plan). The 2030 Plan adds content requirements for Local <br />Surface Water Management Plans and stipulates this additional content be included with <br />the overall comprehensive plan submittals due in September of 2008. We understand <br />the implication of these requirements and have worked with Met Council staff in <br />interpreting them for inclusion in LSWMPs. We will prepare a LSWMP for the City that <br />addresses current statutory requirements, is compatible with the current Rice Creek <br />Watershed District plan, and addresses the Metropolitan Council requirements for 2030 <br />Comprehensive Plans. <br />Minnesota Statute and Rules require that LSWMPs include the following: <br />1)Purpose of plan <br />2)Water resource management related agreements <br />3)Executive summary <br />4)Land and water resources inventory <br />5)Establishment of policies and goals <br />6)Assessment of problems <br />7)Corrective actions to problems identified in number 6 <br />8)Financial considerations <br />9)Implementation priorities <br />10)Implementation program <br />11)Amendment procedures <br />Under Task 2, we will develop the report sections and subsections from the above list <br />that are bolded. The other required elements from the list will be developed under <br />separate tasks in the work plan. <br />Though not required by statute, we also propose to include sections titled Regulatory <br />Setting and Related Water Resources Studies, Plans, and Reports. These sections will <br />describe the numerous federal, state, and local agencies with jurisdiction over surface <br />water management in Mounds View. In addition, all applicable documents produced by <br />these agencies impacting surface water management in Mounds View will be identified. <br />These sections will help the reader understand Mounds View’s LSWMP in relation to <br />outside regulation. <br />Although some text from the current draft LSWMP can be used in these sections of this <br />LSWMP, the current draft LSWMP is inadequate to meet the standards of today’s <br />regulatory environment. Therefore the majority of the sections under this phase will <br />include substantial amounts of new text. <br />The executive summary and land and water resource inventory will be supported, at a <br />minimum, by the following figures or maps:
