( Stantec CITY OF CENTERVILLE -2018 LOCAL WATER PLAN WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN 4) must protect facilities used for post-construction stormwater infiltration. The RCWD has encouraged the City to participate in the District's Water Quality BMP Cost-Share Program. This is a dedicated cost-share grant program to assist property owners with the implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) aimed at improving the quality of surface waters within the District. Installing a rain garden, stabilizing erosion problems along shorelines, restoring degraded wetlands, installation of agricultural BMPs, and installing pervious pavers are some of the practices that may be eligible for this program. For selected projects, the RCWD may provide funding up to 50% of total project costs up to a maximum of$5,000. If a project is deemed to be highly beneficial to local water resources, then the RCWD can fund up to 75% of eligible materials and contracted labor up to $7,500. It is important to note that this policy is not intended to eliminate or reduce RCWD inspection efforts within the City. Rather, this policy would be a local means of enforcing erosion control issues with the same primary goals as the RCWD — protection of natural water resource systems. 6.9 WETLAND MANAGEMENT In accordance with the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (WCA), the RCWD currently serves as the Local Government Unit (LGU) for WCA administration within the City. The City anticipates that the RCWD will continue in this role in the future. Chapter 5 of the RCWD 2010 Watershed Management Plan delineates the details of the watershed district's wetland policies. These policies govern all wetland management issues within the City. As with floodplains and stormwater facilities, all wetlands within the property limits of new developments must be covered by protective easements. Any construction activity that may impact wetlands may require permits from the RCWD, the US Army Corps of Engineers, and/or MnDNR.
