SECTION 5 <br />5. GOALS AND POLICIES <br />5.1. General <br />The goals and policies in the City of Hugo's Water Resource Management Plan are <br />consistent with the goals of the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD), Brown's Creek <br />Watershed District (BCWD), and Carnelian -Marine -St. Croix Watershed District <br />(CMSCWD), while meeting the more specific and changing needs of the City. The goals <br />of this plan were established in accordance with the guidelines contained in Minnesota <br />Statutes 103B and Minnesota Rules 8410. Furthermore, each goal has several <br />corresponding policies. These goals and policies provide for future development and <br />redevelopment while minimizing surface water problems and enhancing the <br />environment. These goals and policies are subject to conformance with current <br />Watershed District policies and standards. <br />The City currently has permitting authority for areas within the RCWD. The City adopts <br />and enforces the most recent RCWD Rules, which can be found at www.ricecreek.or <br />The City does not have permitting authority in BCWD or CMSCWD but adopts rules <br />from these Districts by reference for areas within these watershed district. The most <br />recent BCWD and CMSCWD rules can be found at hLtp://www.bewd.org/ and <br />http://www.croscwd.org_/, respectively. Additional goals and policies of the City are <br />contained throughout this section. <br />A general goal of the City is to cooperate, collaborate and partner with other entities, <br />such as the Watershed Districts and the MPCA as much as possible as the City <br />implements this plan. Cooperation, collaboration, and partnering results in projects that <br />are less likely to conflict with the goals of the affected entities, are better able to meet <br />long-term goals, and are generally more cost-effective. <br />In addition to the goals and policies outlined below, the City will annually review and <br />update its Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to effectively manage its <br />stormwater system and be in conformance with the NPDES MS4 Program. The <br />following are components of the SWPPP: <br />• Public information and education plan relating to water resources and <br />stormwater <br />• An inspection and maintenance schedule <br />• City housekeeping practices (e.g. street sweeping priorities) <br />• BMPs used by the City to control and/or reduce pollutants <br />• Methods used to control and manage post -construction stormwater <br />Hugo pursues a reduce, reuse, and replenish philosophy through its stormwater <br />management policies. Hugo's policies reduce stormwater runoff to prevent the <br />damage that occurs to lakes, streams, and wetlands from urbanization. Hugo's <br />policies reduce reliance on groundwater by encouraging projects that reuse <br />WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN SECTION 5 <br />CITY OF HUGO <br />WSB PROJECT NO. 790452 PAGE 1 <br />
