Environmental Protection Plan <br /> 5) Post-construction runoff control <br /> 6) Pollution prevention in municipal operations <br /> �� The City's SWPPP contains Best Mana�ement Practices within each of the listed <br /> control measures. These were identified using a self-evaluation and input process <br /> with City Staf£ Many of the �oals and policies discussed in Orono's 2009 Local <br /> Surface Water Mana ement plan are directly related to requirements listed in the <br /> NPDES program. As a result. the Implementation Section of the plan references <br /> the items listed in the City's SWPPP. <br /> As required by statute and Metropolitan Council requirements. the 2009 Orono <br /> Local Surface Water Mana�ement Plan identifies water resources issues within <br /> Orono or resultin� from Orono's stormwater discharge. The most notable among <br /> these is phosphorus loadin� to the bavs of Lake Minnetonka. However, other <br /> more localized issues and corrective actions are also identified and these become <br /> the basis for Orono's �oal and policv statements and implementation plan. <br /> The Citv has a strong interest in protecting and managin� its valuable water and <br /> natural resources, reco�nizing the relationships between resource protection, land <br /> use mana�ement, development and redevelopment, and fiscal responsibilit�The <br /> City of Orono promotes sustainable stormwater management practices for <br /> meetin� its water resource mana�ement �oals. Sustainable stormwater <br /> management is well-ali�ned with the City's values. Sustainable practices capture <br /> rain water in a decentralized s�stem of infiltration and filtration practices. These <br /> sustainable practices avoid collectin� and conveving runoff through gutters <br /> catch basins. and pipes. Rather, sustainable practices look to the absorption and <br /> � infiltration of runoff throu�h innovative and aesthetically, leasing landscape <br /> design and conserved natural areas. <br /> The�eneral ;�oals of Orono's 2009 Local Surface Water Management Plan are: <br /> • Reduce capital expenditures needed to meet water guantit�nd quality <br /> standards. <br /> • Minimize existin� floodin� and erosion and sedimentation problems <br /> �enerated by surface flows. <br /> • Improve stormwater quality in waterbodies by utilizing the most <br /> effective combination of inte�rated mana�ement practices and bv <br /> implementin�a phoshorus reduction plan. <br /> • Protect �roundwater quantitv and quality by allowing for passive <br /> treatment and infiltration of stormwater. <br /> • Promote groundwater recharge by creating additional pondinQ areas and <br /> preserving existin� wetlands. <br /> • Protect and enhance water recreational facilities and fish and wildlife <br /> habitat. <br /> • Protect wetland function and values through implementation of its <br /> wetland protection ordinance. <br /> • Preserve floodplain and natural areas <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2008-2030 Page 3A-29 <br />
