The fundamental objective of Rice Creek Watershed District Water <br />Resource Management Plan, (1997) is "to provide for the wise, long-term <br />management of its water and associate land resources," This section of the <br />Arden Hills plan identifies the objectives for water resources planning and <br />management functions. <br /> <br />Each objective has several corresponding policies. Policies are governing <br />principles that provide the means for achieving established objectives. <br />RCWD's overall policy "provides an impartial, objective basis for developing <br />effective plans and programs for water resources management" (Rice Creek <br />Watershed District Water Resource 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 wilJ <br />reference the RCWD rules, objectives and policies as their own. The City wilJ <br />make sure private developers are aware of RCWD rules while balancing the <br />need to protect the health, safety and welfare of the community. The six <br />objectives and 22 policies of RCWD are shown below along with the City's <br />three objectives. <br /> <br />OBJECTIVE A: Minimize, the greatest possible extent, the public <br />expenditures necessary to control excessive volumes and <br />rates of urnoff (RCWD). <br /> <br />City of Arden Hills.
