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 noted in Section 3.1, it is the City's intent to adopt by reference and enforce RCWD's Rules C, D, E, and F and for the City to accept the authority and responsibility to implement the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) in the City. 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. 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 It is the City's intent to adopt by reference and enforce RCWD Rules C — Stormwater Management, D — Erosion and Sediment Control, E — Floodplain Management, and F — Wetland Alteration. The corresponding ordinances in the City Code will be updated to reflect this change (see Appendix D). The RCWD will no longer apply its authority for Rules C, D, E, and F within the City but will continue administering the remaining RCWD rules in the City, which will require permits with RCWD. Additional steps for the City to adopt RCWD rules C, D, E, and F by reference are listed below: • Provide draft ordinances that adopt RCWD Rules C, D, E, and F by reference for RCWD review and approval and revise City Code within 180 days of RCWD approval of the LSWMP. • Implement inspection and administrative procedures necessary to ensure the full regulatory standards of RCWD are met, including procedures for permit application review, inspections and enforcement, permit closeout, hydraulics/hydrology data, and the RCWD audit. • Adopt resolutions to satisfy BWSR's requirements for accepting WCA authority per MN Rule 8420.0200. • Enter into a MOU with the RCWD for the City to adopt ordinances that adopt RCWD's Rules C, D, E, and F by reference within 180 days of RCWD approval of the LSWMP and for RCWD to no longer assert its authority for those rules. RCWD will continue to require permits in the City for its remaining rules. • The City understands that if these actions are not completed within 180 days of RCWD's approval of the LSWMP, RCWD will continue asserting its authority for RCWD Rules C, D, E, and F and serving as the WCA LGU in the City.
