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. 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. The City will 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. 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. 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. The City will work with the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) on resolutions for the City to accept the authority and responsibility to implement WCA in the City. In the event of inconsistent or conflicting standards, the stricter standard will prevail. 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 consistency with RCWD Rule C, adopted by reference by City ordinances. 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.
