Impaired Water Affected Use Pollutant Year Added TMDL Status Barker Lake (82-0076-00) Aquatic Recreation Excess Nutrients 2012 Not Complete Upper Mississippi River (070010206-805) Aquatic Consumption, Aquatic Recreation Mercury in Fish Tissue, Fecal Coliform 1998, 2006 Complete in 2007 & 2014, Upper Mississippi River Bacteria TMDL * Part of the Statewide Mercury Reduction Plan approved in 2008. Every two years, the MPCA updates information in the approved statewide mercury TMDL by adding any new impaired waters or those that have been delisted. The locations of these impaired water bodies are shown on the water resource problem areas map, Figure 8, Appendix A. As noted above, the City is located near Peltier Lake which receives runoff from the City of Hugo. As part of the approved Peltier Lake and Centerville Lake TMDL, the City has been assigned a Waste Load Allocation (WLA). Wasteload allocations are discussed in Section 4 of this WRMP. The Upper Mississippi River Bacteria TMDL was developed to protect numerous stream reaches within the Upper Mississippi River Corridor from impairment due to E.coli. Although the City of Hugo has no direct drainage to the Mississippi River, all cities within Rice Creek Watershed are required to implement actions to address this TMDL. In addition to the water bodies listed above, the City is upstream of the St. Croix River. A TMDL plan for the St. Croix River been adopted, and the City will be required to implement that management plan. The City is also upstream of White Bear Lake which is listed as impaired for Aquatic Consumption. 2.6.3. Shoreland The City of Hugo has adopted a Shoreland Overlay District, a copy of which is located in Appendix C. This ordinance requires setbacks from shoreland areas and limits the type of development, amount of impervious, and use of the City's shoreland areas. 2.6.4. Floodplain The City of Hugo has adopted a floodplain management ordinance. A copy of these regulations is located in Appendix C. This ordinance generally regulates developments, land alterations and uses within each of the floodway, flood fringe, and general floodplain districts. Where defined, floodplain elevations will be measured from Atlas 14 floodplain elevations instead of Technical Paper — 40 elevations. When multiple floodplain elevations exist, the floodplain administrator will review the most appropriate elevation. A copy of the permit checklist with relation to floodplains can be found in Appendix F. 2.6.5. Wetland Inventory There are approximately 584 acres of protected wetlands in the City of Hugo. The City of Hugo has adopted a Wetland Protection District Ordinance, included in Appendix C. Wetland inventories have been completed by U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service as published on the National Wetland Inventory Maps, and by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) as published in their Protected Waters Inventory. These wetland inventories will be utilized to assist in determining if a wetland is present on a given parcel of property within the City. These wetland inventories are located in Figure 5, Appendix A. The City's 2040 Comprehensive Plan provides additional information on the wetland inventory. SECTION 2
