6.0 CURRENT ASSESSMENT The following section is an assessment of the City's current surface water system. The assessment includes surface water system issues identified by the City, found in the RCWD watershed management plan, or as discussed in a specific LSWMP reference identified in Section 4. Based on the assessment presented in this section, the City will develop effective surface water management goals and policies (Section 7) and, with the coordination of the RCWD, establish the implementation measures (Section 8) necessary to enact the goals and policies and address the surface water management issues. As discussed below, it is the intent of the City to take over responsibility for the permitting of stormwater and wetlands. 6.1 OFFICIAL CONTROL ASSESSMENT Codes and ordinances (official controls) are necessary tools to support the implementation of this LSWMP. The intent of assessing the City's existing official controls is to identify the adequacy of these controls in order for the City to take over responsibility for the permitting of stormwater and wetlands. As a basis for this assessment, the City's MS4 permit documents include a summary of ordinances required to meet NPDES requirements. The City Code can be found here: http://www.moundsviewmn.org/government/codes regulations and fees/city code.php As part of taking on the stormwater and wetland permitting role, the City adopts RCWD Rules C — Stormwater Management, D — Erosion and Sediment Control, E — Floodplain Management, and F — Wetland Alteration by reference. The corresponding ordinances in the City Code will be updated to reflect this change. Additional steps for the City to take on permitting responsibilities are listed below: • Work with the RCWD to create a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that the City will take on permitting responsibilities. Adopt a resolution taking on WCA responsibility. • Create a protocol guide for issuing permits. It should lay out various procedures including permit application review and closeout process, hydraulics/hydrology data submittal to the RCWD, and an auditing process. • Create a permit application form (including a fee schedule), a permit form, and a permit review checklist. After adoption of this Local Surface Water Management Plan, the City will need to update all applicable portions of City Code as noted above. Per State statute, the City must amend its official controls accordingly within 180 days of LSWMP adoption. In addition, the City must periodically update codes to remain consistent with City goals, policies, and practices. Table 6.1 presents an assessment of City codes related to surface water management as listed in Table 3.1.
