Goals <br />The goals and policies outlined in the WRMP are grouped by their <br />relationship to the key issues listed below: <br />• Section 5.2 — Volume Management <br />• Section 5.3 — Water Quality <br />• Section 5.4 — Runoff Management and Flood Control <br />• Section 5.5 — Wetlands <br />• Section 5.6 — Erosion and Sediment Control <br />• Section 5.7 — Groundwater <br />• Section 5.8 — Recreation, Habitat and Shoreland Management <br />• Section 5.9 — Education and Public Involvement <br />• Section 5.10 — Public Ditch System <br />A general goal of the City is to cooperate, collaborate, and partner <br />with other entities, such as the Watershed Districts and the MPCA. <br />Cooperation, collaboration, and partnering results in projects that are <br />less likely to conflict with the goals of the affected entities, are better <br />able to meet long-term goals, and are generally more cost-effective. <br />1-1UG0 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE <br />Strategies <br />Hugo pursues a reduce, reuse, and replenish philosophy through its stormwater management policies. Hugo's policies are designed to: <br />• Reduce stormwater runoff to prevent the damage that occurs to lakes, streams, and wetlands from urbanization. <br />• Reduce reliance on groundwater by encouraging projects that reuse stormwater for irrigation. <br />Favor a regional approach to preserve and replenish underground drinking water supplies. This regional approach substitutes surface <br />water for groundwater where possible and seeks to replenish groundwater supplies by active regional management of existing <br />appropriations and by consideration of an aquifer recharge and storage program. <br />DRAFT Dec 14-17 <br />for review only <br />COMPREHENSIVE WATER 250 <br />RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PLAN <br />
