Given that the GLWMO has delegated management responsibilities for some of the waterbodies to its member communities, the implementation plan clearly identifies where costs for monitoring, conducting studies and/or implementing projects will be shared by others. Watershed Management Organization Administration The Grass Lake Watershed Management Organization's governance is guided by a joint powers agreement between the cities of Roseville and Shoreview. The Grass Lake Watershed Management Organization is also considering other governance structures. The watershed management organization administration section also outlines the annual process for evaluating progress as well as the requirements for local plans. Local Planning The watershed management plan serves as a standard for member communities to meet and as a guide for coordination on water - related actions of member communities and the Grass Lake Watershed Management Organization. Member communities must update their own water resource management plans within two years after this Grass Lake Watershed Management Organization plan is adopted. Local plans must meet requirements under state law. The plans must incorporate standards consistent with GLWMO standards into local plan, outline the permitting and development review process, incorporate water quality loading standards established by TMDLs, summarize maintenance plans, outline the city's role in the management of each water resource, summarize the city's water resource monitoring program, and identify projects and programs that will by implemented by the city as well as those that will be implemented jointly between GLWMO and the city.
