76 <br />Each of these subwatersheds lies in whole or part within the RCWD. Stormwater <br />management BMPs for a particular road project are intended to be located within the <br />same subwatershed as the project disturbance. <br />2. RCWD Rule C.5 sets a hierarchy of preferred stormwater management methods <br />for water quality and volume control and requires that infiltration be used where <br />feasible. St. Anthony has demonstrated through soils data that infiltration is not <br />feasible at any location on city right-of-way or other city property within RCWD. <br />Therefore, in individual applications for SRP projects, St. Anthony will not be required <br />to use infiltration BMPs or further substantiate that infiltration is infeasible. <br />3. Individual permit applications for SRP projects will: <br />• Include submittals meeting RCWD requirements except for infiltration <br />sequencing; <br />• Be allowed to use stormwater treatment BMPs within the same subwatershed <br />to meet Rule C requirements <br />• Calculate phosphorus removal requirements using the equivalency factor <br />stated below and present a proposed BMP approach to meet those <br />requirements; and <br />• Demonstrate compliance with standards of Rule C (except with respect to <br />infiltration) and other applicable RCWD rules. <br />In the event that RCWD Rule C is revised during the term of this MOA, the infiltration <br />sequencing outcome of this MOA and phosphorus removal credits established under <br />terms of this MOA will be protected, but the project will be subject to the water quality <br />standard applicable at the time of application. The District retains the authority to <br />condition a permit to address potential local water resource impacts. <br />4. For individual SRP project applications: <br />a. St. Anthony will construct and use regional BMPs. <br />b. Regional water quality BMP requirements will be determined by using a <br />factor equating annual volume abstraction and annual total phosphorus <br />removal. The "equivalence factor" to be used in implementing this MOA <br />is 0.97 pounds of total phosphorus per acre-foot of runoff volume <br />abstracted. <br />City of St. Anthony 2 Rice Creek Watershed District <br />5/16/2012 <br />
