CITY OF ST. ANTHONY VILLAGE WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PLAN SECTION 2 Page 5 Village has been redeveloped. The redevelopment involved the demolition of the existing Apache Plaza mall and parking lot and construction of townhomes and commercial areas. Stormwater treatment ponds were also incorporated into the design. While the City’s existing P8 model does not reflect these changes, the RCWD has completed a P8 model for Silver Lake, which includes this area. 2.9. Natural Communities and Rare Species The Minnesota DNR produces the Minnesota County Biological Survey (MCBS) identifying natural communities and rare species. The city of St. Anthony Village is located in both Ramsey County and Hennepin County, each of which has its own county survey. However, the Ramsey County survey and the Hennepin County survey indicate no natural plant communities or rare species. In addition to possible natural plant communities and rare plants, the survey also identifies the original vegetation of St. Anthony Village. Both the Ramsey County and Hennepin County maps indicate the original vegetation of the area was mostly oak openings and barrens, which consist of scattered trees and groves of oaks with some brush and thickets. The entirety of the City of St. Anthony Village has been categorized according to the Minnesota Land Cover Classification System (MLCCS). Figure 9, Appendix A shows a map of the MLCCS areas that have been classified. 2.10. NPDES Phase II The MPCA implemented the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II Stormwater Program in March 2003. Phase II requires Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) to obtain an NPDES permit. MS4s designated by rule are urban areas with populations over 10,000 or urban areas with populations greater than 5,000 with the potential to discharge to valuable or polluted waters. Permits for construction sites greater than one acre will also be required as part of Phase II. As an MS4, the City will be required to implement the following six minimum control measures: 1. Public Education and Outreach 2. Public Participation/Involvement 3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination 4. Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control 5. Post-Construction Stormwater Management 6. Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations For more information on the MS4 Permit requirements refer to www.pca.state.mn.us. Refer to Appendix B for a copy of the City’s MS4 SWPPP (Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan). 2.11. Water Resource Problem Areas Water resource problem areas were identified through information obtained from City staff, residents, and other agencies. Each problem was analyzed and potential solutions to address the problems were developed as detailed in Section 4. Refer to Figure 7, Appendix A for the location of site-specific problem areas. 2.12. Flood Insurance Studies Flood insurance is provided to residents of St. Anthony Village. It is classified as a Zone X level of insurance. Residents do not receive full coverage because St. Anthony Village is not in the floodplain. However, because flooding can still occur, partial coverage flood insurance is
