Comments are <br />forwarded to the WMOs. According to Metropolitan Council staff, the plan does not have to be <br />resubmitted as a formal comprehensive plan amendment, subject to additional review, at a later date. The <br />adopted City plan will meet Metropolitan Council’s requirements and will be thereby recognized as a <br />comprehensive plan amendment. <br /> <br />Federal and State Agencies <br />Federal and state agencies will continue to have certain administrative responsibilities. These <br />responsibilities include, but are not limited to: <br /> <br /> Wetland alteration: <br />o Department of National Resources for all issues relating to state protected waters and <br />wetland; and <br />o U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. EPA, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife for all issues <br />related to all wetland are not under the jurisdiction of the DNR. <br /> Ground Water Issues; <br /> Individual sewage treatment systems; and <br /> Hazardous waste/spill response. <br /> <br />LOCAL ORDINANCES <br />The City has most of the necessary official controls to implement this plan today.
