<br />Appendix - Arden Hills Water Quality Task Force - June 2000 <br /> <br />enhancement to assist citizens in making wise choices. 11 <br />Implementation(s): <br />Identify citizens within a defmed area who have an interest in solving specific problems <br />that represent an enhancement to water quality, Encourage the free flow of information <br />between these groups. <br />Develop specific incentives designed to create citizen interest in solving specific watershed <br />__~pr:obleIl1s and encourage enh::mcements to local water qualityusirlg_13MP's, 12 <br />Encourage the Lake Associations and other lake homeowners to participate in a lake <br />protection plan process. <br />Develop a set of recommended improvements or BMP's for specific areas of the City that <br />would advance Arden Hills water quality goals. Encourage citizens to create local area plans <br />for water quality enhancement using BMP's appropriate to the area.13 <br />Create and distribute a Sub-Watershed informational map. <br />Resources: <br />Some staff time would be devoted to coordination and communications. Some of this work <br />would be accrued to the Water Management Plan process, Overall costs to the City would <br />be dependent on the level of participation and success in implementing programs. Incidental <br />costs for awards, framed certificates, purchased books or manuals for reference and loans <br />(See recommendation 1 - Library section). <br /> <br />3) Recommendation <br />Arden Hills should supporl and encourage water quality monitoring programs in areas likely <br />to reflect the greatest water quality impacts and areas not currently tested by RCWD or <br />Ramsey County, Arden Hills should supporl the RCWD water quality programs for schools. <br /> <br />Method(s): <br />Maintain communication with RCWD as programs develop and cooperate to help implement <br /> <br />program. <br /> <br />I] Citizen programs, that provide incentives, have measurable outcomes and can compare favorably to traditional measures <br />in cost to benefit, should be eligible for fmancing or funding. <br /> <br />12 Incentives _ Some suggestions were: A yearly plant exchange. A buying club with a City arranged discount for specific <br />plants. An awards or recognition program for successful neighborhood plalU1ing efforts. A City recognized guidebook for <br />water quality enhancements in gardening and landscaping. Availability of planning resources for neighborhood <br />improvements. A program that would allow low interest loans to the Citizens for specific water quality improvements <br />deemed beneficial to City water quality goals. A program of credits to water bills for improvements with defmed water <br />quality components. <br /> <br />" Preparation of Shoreline management plans, aquatic plant management strategies, control of exotic species, deep rooted <br />plantings in landscape and nuisance plant reduction all result in reduced stormwater runoff, less required construction and <br />long term maintenance. City supported projects must reduce or control long term costs. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />. <br />
