APPENDIX C: REGULATORY RESPONSIBILITIES AND DEVELOPER GUIDELINES City of Arden Hills Appendix C: Regulatory Responsibilities and Developer Guidelines WSB Project No. 3455-200 P a g e 1 The City of Arden Hills developed a Local Stormwater Management Plan to analyze and minimize the impact of existing and future development on the City’s natural resources. It is important to the City to have consistent analysis and data collection. Therefore, all hydrologic, hydraulic, and water quality analysis should be prepared in a common format. Data shall be submitted in a consistent format consistent with Rice Creek Watershed District guidelines that will allow for a timely review by City staff. KEY POINTS When preparing your engineering calculations, please remember these key points:  A pre-design meeting with the City and the appropriate Water Management Organization is encouraged before ANY data will be accepted. The purpose of the meeting is to specifically address approvals and permits, pond requirements, trunk storm drain analysis, wetland impacts, water quality treatment, erosion control and discharge to lakes and sensitive wetland resources.  Rate control is not required IF downstream systems (ponds and storm drains) can be shown to adequately detain/retain the runoff.  Regional sedimentation ponds may be used for some developments. ADMINISTRATIVE RESPONSIBILITIES Several entities will have administrative responsibilities within the planning area. For a local water management effort to be successful, each entity’s commitment and role must be clearly understood. Those currently having some level of administration responsibility include the City, Rice Creek Watershed District, Ramsey County, MnDNR, MPCA, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and BWSR. City of Arden Hills The City of Arden Hills is responsible for issuing building permits for all land alteration thereby enforcing the policies and standards of this plan.
