• % <br />concerns from citizens over the plight the quality of our lakes and streams. <br />A goal of the Board of Water and Soil Resources is to work with other state and federal <br />agencies to simplify and coordinate these type of mandates on local government at every <br />possible opportunity. I predict that there will be continued movement towards certifying <br />local programs as adequate replacement of federal wetland fill and erosion control <br />permits. When this happens, we will be one step closer to the one-stop permitting, the <br />elusive concept that everyone talks about but no one seems to be able to accomplish. <br />In the seven county Metro Area we have almost everything in place to finally say we’ve <br />achieved true comprehensive watershed management, of which storm water management <br />is a major component At present the metropolitan surface water management act is the <br />best vehicle to use to accomplish this. It will happen when a majority of local <br />governments can demonstrate to the state and federal agencies that Aey are doing just <br />that. Many are doing just that and BWSR applauds their past and continued success. <br />a:stormh20.doc
