Orono's wetland ordinance addresses the damaging effect of runoff rate and pollutant loading on wetland vegetation and wetland fauna. Through a wetland inventory based on wetland functions and values, Orono and MC" have established functions and values based protection program that protects wetlands in proportion to their susceptibility to stormwater impacts with higher levels of protection provided for Orono's most sensitive wetland resources. WATER QUALITY Orono's natural setting and proximity to the Twin Cities makes it a desirable location for both residential development and recreational activities. As the population of Lake Minnetonka's shoreland increased, and as recreational use grew, residents indicated a strong desire to maintain and improve the quality of Lake Minnetonka. It has been demonstrated that surface waters, as biological systems, can be negatively affected by increases in nutrients and toxic chemicals. Phosphorus is the nutrient most commonly managed because it is the limiting nutrient in the growth of algae and vegetation in lakes and wetlands. Soil erosion and sedimentation also play a significant role in poor water quality. City of Orono Surface Water Management Plan February 2019
