7.0 GOALS AND POLICIES 7.1 SUMMARY Surface water management issues within the City are primarily defined by the requirements of current or pending programs. The goals and policies outlined in this plan are grouped by their relationship to the key issues listed below: • Section 7.2 Land Development and Redevelopment — Goals and policies to prevent flooding and adverse impacts to water resources from land disturbance and impervious surfaces. • Section 7.3 Resource Management — Goals and policies for managing Mounds View's wetlands, lakes, and groundwater, to preserve the functions and values of these resources. • Section 7.4 Citywide Program Elements — Goals and policies for managing water resources and drainage systems on a citywide scale, to effectively achieve surface water management goals. • Section 7.5 Support of Other Agencies — Goals and policies to coordinate local surface water management with the work of the RCWD and state agencies. It is the intent of the City to take over responsibility for the permitting of stormwater and wetlands. 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 following goals and policies reflect current City policy and Mounds View's current SWPPP, as well as additional goals and policies necessary for consistency with the goals and policies of State, regional, and local authorities. 7.2 LAND DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT Overall Goal: Manage land disturbance from new development, redevelopment, street reconstruction projects, or any other public or private land disturbing activity that creates new impervious surface to prevent flooding and adverse impacts to water resources through cooperation with the stormwater management standards identified by the RCWD. To make this process effective, the City will strive through an upfront stormwater assessment and planning process to incorporate best management practices that focus on treating runoff at the source and not in typical end of pipe treatments. The incorporation of these Best Management Practices will coincide with the guidance provided in the Minnesota Stormwater Manual. The upfront stormwater assessment and planning processes implemented at the project submittal stage will include guidance and recommendations for projects to include volume management features at the most ideal locations throughout a project's corridor. At a minimum, the City will look to provide pretreatment of stormwater before it enters the existing stormwater system.
