discharge from the City are also on the state list of Impaired Waters: Long Lake, a downstream stretch of Rice Creek, and the Mississippi River. The City recognizes that the responsibility for completion and implementation of the TMDL studies lies with the primary stakeholders contributing to the impairment. The City intends to cooperate with the RCWD and other agencies in the development of the TMDL studies, acknowledging that these outside agencies will take the lead on these studies. It is the intention of the City to implement the items/actions identified in future TMDL Implementation Plans, funding the implementation items/actions as necessary. Coordinate with RCWD to Address Degraded Water Quality in Spring Lake The RCWD finalized the MAP for Spring Lake in 2009 as part of Phase II of the Southwest Urban Lakes Study. The MAP included a management approach aimed at addressing the degraded water quality in Spring Lake where the City is identified as a contributing partner. The report outlined recommendations regarding watershed management and internal lake management. Watershed management recommendations included six BMP retrofit opportunities that were identified in a preliminary field reconnaissance. The MAP also included general practices to reduce nutrient runoff that could be implemented even before data are available that can illuminate a more targeted management approach. Internal lake management recommendations included developing an aquatic vegetation management plan, developing a model to evaluate changes in the lake's water level, and assessing the feasibility and cost of curly -leaf pondweed control options. The RCWD identifies specific programs on their website (www.ricecreek.org) that are available to provide funding assistance to Mounds View for stormwater management improvements, including: Urban Stormwater Remediation Cost -Share Program Water Quality Grant Program Urban Water Quality Retrofit Projects The City will look for opportunities in developed areas to install retrofit water quality improvement BMPs to improve the overall water quality in Mounds View. The City will consider working with private property owners to implement improvement projects, using the City's Stormwater Infiltration Program as a model to accomplish these retrofit improvements. The RCWD identifies specific programs on their website (www.ricecreek.org) that could be applied when partnering with Mounds View, including: Urban Stormwater Remediation Cost -Share Program Water Quality Grant Program 8.6 POTENTIAL FUNDING Implementation of the proposed studies, programs, and improvements identified in this plan will affect City finances. A review of the City's ability to fund these studies, programs, and improvements should be completed regularly.
