. . e Appendix - Arden Hills Water Quality Task Force ~ June 2000 Require use of geotextile matting or other protective measures in addition to silt fencing where slopes could cause extensive uncontained erosion during rainy season construction. Discuss hazard mitigation along highways with MN-Dot and Ramsey County. Resources: Ordinary costs of Ordinance process, Staff and planning time. Additional mandated construction cost on projects to require control of erosion. Rules should be proportionate in cost to additional maintenance required to mitigate poor construction practices, Additional building permit fees are an option to mandated erosion control. Conclusion Many of the TF suggested actions may be possible without cost or at a low cost and can be implemented immediately by adopting them as policy. Some of these recommendations will require time and additional resources to develop in cooperation with other jurisdictions and with City staff. Other recommendations need resource development, a timeline for implementation, and capital funding. The implementation of these water quality goals and recommendations will eventually bring a built-in water quality intelligence to the City that should ultimately avoid expenses of future mandates for water control and correction. Any policies or procedures adopted here should be reviewed at least every five years. The City has control over a limited area of land, including parks, City streets, some rights- of-way and City owned structures, The remaining land area is under the control of citizens, schools, churches, businesses and other governmental entities. No one program or practice will guarantee Arden Hills water quality for the future. Without the understanding and cooperation of all parties it is unlikely that any City efforts can be totally successful. 13
