• Prevent erosion of soil into surface water systems; • Promote groundwater recharge; • Protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitat and water recreational facilities; and • Secure the other benefits associated with the proper management of surface and groundwater. A third regulatory program, very much related to the goals, policies and standards of this Plan, is the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase 11 Storm Water Permit Program that is administered in the State by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) (http: / /www.pca.state.mn.us). The goals, policies and standards of this plan were developed to be consistent with the City's NPDES permit and associated Surface Water Pollution Prevention Plan ( SWPPP) as well as the respective WMO plans. The implementation program included in this plan and the SWPPP are intended to be a coordinated effort to realize combined efficiencies. 1.2 Organization and Scope This plan builds upon the City's previous Surface Water Management Plans (SWMP) completed in 1990 and 2003. The 1990 SWMP included detailed hydrologic TR -20 modeling for the entire City and the 2003 SWMP focused on updating and translating the 1990 modeling into a HydroCAD® model and analyzing select problem areas in the City. For this 2012 plan update hydrologic /hydraulic modeling will be completed as separate efforts in problem areas and the focus will be on pulling together existing information related to the City's surface water systems into one easy to use management tool. A GIS -based mapping tool which organizes and inventories studies, projects, and current issues of the City's surface water resources accompanies this plan document. The CSWMP was developed through a process of soliciting input from City Commissions, Council and the public on water resources issues, specific problem areas and potential new topic areas and/or actions that the plan should address. Input was obtained through a series of meetings and providing plan information on the City's stormwater web page. A summary of those efforts follows: • Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting • Public Works, Environmental and Transportation Commission — 3 Meetings • Public Open House Meeting • City Council Review and Adoption of the Plan [Discuss document sections and plan organization] 1.3 Sustainability Roseville is committed to the preservation and enhancement of its environment, and to the principle that each generation of residents must meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future residents to meet their own needs. This approach to sustainability is a thread that is woven throughout the City's Comprehensive Plan. Upon adoption of this Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan ( CSWMP) by Council, the CSWMP will become an integral component of the City's Comprehensive Plan. As in the Comprehensive Plan, this CSWMP will serve as a guide towards improving sustainability across all aspects of the City's surface water management program and activities.
