This section of <br />the Arden Hills plan identifies the goals for water resources planning and <br />management functions. The goals of this plan were established in accordance <br />with the goals of RCWD, which hasjurisdietion in Arden Hills. <br /> <br />Each goal has several corresponding policies. Policies are governing <br />principles that provide the means for achieving established goals. RCWD' s <br />overall policy "provides an impartial, objeetive basis for developing effective <br />plans and programs for water resources management" (Rice Creek Watershed <br />District Water Resouree Management Plan, 1997). <br /> <br />Rice Creek Watershed District will share with the City authority over all water <br />resource issues within the City of Arden Hills. Therefore the City will <br />reference the RCWD rules, objectives and polieies as their own. The City will <br />make sure private developers are aware of RCWD rules while balaneing the <br />need to protect the health, safety and welfare of the community. These <br />objectives and policies, as seen in the Rice Creek Watershed District's Water <br />Resource Management Plan can be found in Appendix G. However, the City <br />will still have some participation in the managing of water resource issues <br />within the City limits, such as a maintenance and street sweeping <br />program/schedule, public participation, information, education, and finance. <br /> <br />City of Arden Hills.
