Surface Water Management In 1995, Minnesota Statutes Section 473.859, subd. 2 was amended to make the local water plan (often referred to as local surface water management plans) required by section 1 o3B. 235 a part of the land use plan of the local comprehensive plan. Minnesota Rules Chapter 8410, updated in July of 2015, includes the requirements for local water management plans. The main change that you need to be aware aif is that all oommunities in the metropolitan area crust update their local water plan between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2818. This means that Centerville must update its Iocal water plan as part of the comprehensive plan update. The community's updated local water plan should be submitted to the Council for its review concurrent with the review by the Watershed Management Organ a on(s) within whose watershed(s) the community is located. Failure to have an updated local water plan will result In the comprehensive plan being found Incomplete for mview until the required plan is provided to the Council. Local water plans must meet the requirements for local water plans in Minnesota Statutes, section 10313.238 and Minnesota Rules Chapter 8410. In general, local surface water plans need to include a summary of the priorities and problems in the community; structural, nonstructural and programmatic actions to take to address the priorities and problems; and clearly identified funding mechanisms to fcc the problems. More detailed guidance for the local water plans can be found in Appendix C of the Council's 2040 Water Resources Policy Plan and in the Council's current Local Planning Handbook. In addition, the Council has also updated its priority lake list that was first developed in the 1980s as part of the Water Resources Fbfky Plan update. Figure 2 shows the priority lakes for Centerville. The Council uses the priority lake fist to focus its limited resources. The list Is also used in the environmental review process. Where a proposed development may Impact a priority lake, the project proposer must complete a nutrient budget analysis for the lake as part of the environmental review process. Also included on Figure 2 is the watershed organization(s) that Centerville is part of and a list of impaired waters in the community for use in development of your local welter plans. Other Plan Considerations Water Supply Local comprehensive plans also address water supply (Minn. Stat, Sec. 473.859). For communities in the metropolitan area with municipal water supply systems, this local comprehensive plan requirement is cast by completing the local water supply plan template, which was jointly developed by the Metropolitan Council and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resource (DNR). FOR COMMUNITIES WHO OWN/OPERATE A PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM: Because your community owns/operates a municipal community public water supply system (PWS), the local water supply plan must be updated as part of the local comprehensive plan (Minn. Stat., Sec. 103C.291). The updated local water supply plan should include information about your community along with information about any neighboring communities seared by your system. You should update your local water supply plan upon notification by DNR. Local water supply plan due dates will be staggered between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2018. Your updated local water supply plan should be submitted to the DNR. DNR will share the plan with the Council, and it will be Page - 24 12015 SYSTEM STATEMENT --- CENTERVILLE WATER RESOURCES
