o Page 10-14: Included three new implementation strategies based on comments from the Rice Creek Watershed District and to address water resource requirements from the Met Council. The implementation strategies recognize the need to: · complete Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) studies with Rice Creek Watershed District. TMDL relate to water quality studies being conducted throughout the metro' area; · identify and adopt best management practices to protect the water quality of lakes, streams, wetlands, and groundwater; and, · reduce nonpoint pollution sources, including educating residents and using best management practices. Chapter 13: Public Facilities, Services, and Infrastructure o Completed the Water Resource Management sections as required by the Metropolitan Council. These sections are almost entirely new since the last review. This includes: · Page 13-2 and Appendix D - Water Supply Plan · Page 13-3 and Appendix E - Sanitary Sewer · Page 13-3 and Appendix F - Storm/surface Water Management; · Page 13-7 and Appendix G - Inflow and Infiltration Submission to the Metropolitan Council Once the City Council grants preliminary approval of the Comprehensive Plan, the plan will be submitted to the Metropolitan Council for official review. The Metropolitan Council will then review the plan for conformance with the System Statement, the Metropolitan Land Planning Act, and other regional policy plans (i.e. transportation, water resources, and parks and open space). If the Metropolitan Council determines that the plan is in conformance with regional policies and regulations, it will be returned to the City for official adoption by the City Council. If the plan is deemed incomplete or not in conformance with Met Council requirements, it will be returned to the City with an explanation of what needs to be addressed or clarified. It is not unusual for the Metropolitan Council to find that a change or further clarification is needed somewhere in a comprehensive plan. The requirements for the comprehensive plan are considerable, though the City has striven to meet those requirements. Staff will keep the City Council up to date onany issues that may arise and if additional work is needed. The Metropolitan Council is typically required to notify a city within 15 working days of receiving the plan if it is complete or incomplete. The Metropolitan Council then strives to review the Comprehensive Plan with 120 days.
