VI. Non-Relaied Issues A. Interim Strategy for the Reduction of Nonpoint Source Pollution The City of Orono Community Management Plan was amended on October 25, 1993 via Resolution #3348 by adding language indicating NURP standards will be applied to the design of new stormwjuer ponds, and indicating the City will apply MPCA’s "Best Management Practices for Protecting Water Quality in Urban Areas" to the review of proposed development. On October 11, 1993 Resolution #3335 was adopted, indicating that the City will implement the use of NURP standards and Best Management Practices via amendments of the Subdivision and Zoning Codes no later than May 1 •, 1995. This date coincided with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District’s 2-ye;r timeframe for local water management plan adoption (MCWD Plan, Section VII, ’M9, Subsection C-3) per State stamtes 103B.235 Subd. 1(a). It was and is the City’s intent to incorporate NURP standards and BMP’s via ordinance as part of the comprehensive local water management plan implementation when that plan is adopted. The City of Orono has not commenced with preparation of a local water management plan for the following reasons: 1. 2 (TO BE ADDED WHEN DEFINED) 3. 4. Because a comprehensive local water management plan cannot be completed within a timeframe coincident with Orono ’s need for certain facets of this proposed MUSA amendment, the City’s options for complying with the ’’Interim Strategy" requirements include: 1. Request a further delay of Met Council imposition of the "Interim Strategy" requirement OR 2. Incorporate (by ordinance) the NURP standards and BMP’s into Orono ’s existing stormwater management controls which are contained in the following code sections: 10.03 Subd. 19/20/21 (Filling & Grading) 10.52 Subd. 4 (Hwy 12 Corridor) 10.53 Subd. 8(A)(4d):8,10 (Hwy 12 PUD) 10.55 Subd. 11 (Floodway, Flood Fringe)
