Assist. <br />Re: City of Arden Hills Draft Local Surface Water ~anagement Plan - 60-Day Review <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Schilling, <br /> <br />Emmons & Olivier Resources, engineers for the Rice Creek Watershed District, have completed our <br />review of the City of Arden Hills Draft Local Stormwater ~anagement Plan, dated September 200l. <br />The purpose of this memorandum is to outline the Rice Creek Watershed District's questions and <br />concerns regarding the Draft Plan. <br /> <br />The current issues are listed below with reference to the section in the Draft Plan. <br /> <br />General <br />The Final Report by the Arden Hills Water Quality Task Force, 2000 identifies many issues j <br />problems as well as strategic actions to correct these issues j problems. It is unclear from the CIP and <br />Implementation Plan if the majority of the recommended actions will be taken jfunded. The Draft <br />Plan should reference this document as containing the identification of problems and corrective <br />actions. These corrective actions should then be tied into the implementation section and funding <br />sources should be identified. <br /> <br />There are many misspelled words and grammatical mistakes in the text of the Draft Plan. These are <br />not specifically mentioned in our review. <br /> <br />Section 2 - Utilities <br />The Draft Plan states that the City requires stormsewer to be installed with the reconstruction of <br />streets. Installing curb and gutter and stormsewer will not necessarily have a positive effect on the <br />Cities water resources. They will convey the stormwater"more quickly, washing all of the pollutants <br />off the impervious surfaces to downstream receiving waters. Drainage ways and ditches are a more <br />natural means of conveying stormwater that provide for water quality treatment, a longer time of <br />concentration, and natural attenuation of pollutants. The watershed understands that the City is also <br />proposing significant regional stormwater treatment ponds to treat the stormwater, but it may be <br />more feasible and less costly to the residents to maintain the existing conveyance system of drainage <br />ways and ditches, while achieving the same outcome of protecting water quality in area lakes and <br />wetlands. <br /> <br />A.I.
