. , � . i <br /> �i <br /> � � I <br /> � <br /> ; <br /> � <br /> . ; <br /> We havo reviewed the proposed capital projects and have the following comments: • ' <br /> I <br /> ■ Projects CII'-Cl (Offerman Ditch),CIP-CS(Casco Point Swale .CIP-1 (Stubbs Bay Ravine . ; <br /> Stabilization�,and CIl'-7(Long�Lake Ravine Stabilization� � <br /> The Direct Volume method of calculating load redu�tion by st��eam stabilization is.an acceptable , <br /> method,however,more detail sliould be provided to justify the"volume voided"and"years" <br /> variables.Actttal face area measurements and justif'ication for recession ratos should be pravided. <br /> The calcula�ions in the appendix for the Stubbs.Bay project included only the vagetative • ' <br /> stabilization portion of the project;no calculations are shown for the proposed repair of the i <br /> caiastraphic failure portion of the project. � <br /> ' ' i <br /> • CII'-11 �Contribution to South Katrina Marsh Project� <br /> Each subwatershed plan in the CWRMP u�cludes load reductions from regulation,LGU assigned � <br /> load reduedon,and District external and internal load projects.The South Katrina Marsh project ; <br /> is part of the District's Jennings Bay external load reductian plan,thus it cannot be used to satisfy ' <br /> the LGU load reductions.To do so would"double count"the reduction.(Note:The City has � <br /> propased additional BMPs suf�cient to meet the required reduction for the Painter Ci•eek � <br /> subwatei�hed.} � <br /> . I <br /> ■ Ordinance Revisions <br /> The MCWD's Stormwater Management Rule is curt•ently undergoing revision and is scheduled to i <br /> be complated by the end of the year.The City and MCWD will need to coordinate to determune i <br /> how much of a reduotion the Ciiy can be credited with for their proposed ord'uiance. j <br /> . 3. Ideni�Key Conservation�reas(KCA)artd assess adequacy of local policies and controls to � <br /> corrserve their hydrologic rnul ecological values, A figure showing the KCAs should be added to the . <br /> Plan,as well as additional discussion describing more specifically how tha City intends to achieve � <br /> this management goal. � <br /> Minnesota Rulas 8410 Requirements . � <br /> � � <br /> 4. Purpose. Staivte requires each plan to contain a section titled"Purpose,"which explains the pntpose � <br /> of water management planning.This information is contAineri in section 1,1 ofthe Plan,which could � <br /> simply be renamed"Purpose"instead of"Background." � <br /> . � 5. Financial corrsiderations, The Plan states that the primary source of funding for the Implementation i <br /> Plan(Il'}activities is the City's stormwater utility.,which currently generates about$135,400 per <br /> � . year.Tt is stated that the utility plus othar£unds such as grants should be sufficient to fund tho IP. <br /> However,the annual cost of IP activities varies$232,400-$331,400,The Pian should include a � � <br /> discussion of how tha City would prioritize aotivities if su�cient funds are not available,or whether ' � <br /> the City would considar raising its utility raees to generate more revenue, i <br /> . b. Amendmentprocedarre. Section 10.3 should note that the City niust complete any amendments to its <br /> Local Plan within two years aftor the adoption of CVPRMP revisions or the naxt CWRMP. <br /> Additionat MCWD CWRMP Rec�uirements • ! <br /> � 7.
