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 />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 />Localized storage, volume reduction, and water quality improvement sites. <br />4. Wetland restoration sites <br />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 13 <br />
