CMP Part 3A. Environmental Protection Plan <br /> 3. Minimize and mitigate the impacts of urban stormwater runoff on water resources. <br /> 4. Manage and protect wetlands to maximize wetland functions and improve surface <br /> water resources. <br /> 5. Manage Subsurface Sewage Treatment Systems to ensure proper design, installation, <br /> operation, maintenance or replacement in order to eliminate health hazards or illicit <br /> discharges to water resources. Connect properties with SSTSs to city sanitary sewer as <br /> soon as feasible. <br /> 6. Manage and protect natural upland areas adjacent to surface water resources to mitigate <br /> degradation of surface waters and increase the quantity,quality and biological diversity <br /> of natural areas. <br /> 7. Protect the quality and quantity of groundwater resources. <br /> 8. Provide the public with the knowledge, skills, and motivation to protect and improve <br /> surface water and groundwater resources. <br /> Implementation Planning <br /> SWMP includes a plan for implementation water resource improvements. The plan <br /> identify potential projects in the following categories: <br /> 1. Stream and shoreline restoration projects. <br /> 2. Outlet control structure repair or replacement projects. <br /> 3. Localized storage, volume reduction, and water quality improvement sites. <br /> 4. Wetland restoration sites <br /> 5. Natural upland restoration sites. The projects included will be used for planning <br /> purposes and will require further development prior to inclusion in the City's Capital <br /> Improvement Plan (CIP). <br /> FLOOD PLAIN MANAGEMENT <br /> An element of surface water management addressed in the SWMP Goals is the management of flood <br /> plains and wetlands. The City of Orono originally adopted a Flood Plain Ordinance in 1970, which has <br /> since been revised and updated on a regular basis,most recently with Hennepin County's mapping revision <br /> in November, 2016. The principles of flood plain regulation go hand-in-hand with those of stormwater <br /> management. The City will be best served by retention of open land uses which would locate permanent <br /> structures and artificial obstructions in a manner that would not obstruct the passage of waters nor destroy <br /> the natural public waters, marshes and wetlands within the City. <br /> The Ordinance is compliant with the rules and regulations of the National Flood Insurance Program <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3A,Page 14 <br />
