The natural communities that remain in Roseville are largely located in city parks. The major <br />natural community types in Roseville are: <br />• Prairie and Savanna Communities: Sand - Gravel Prairie, Sand - Gravel Oak Savanna, <br />Mesic Prairie and Wet Prairie <br />• Forest Communities: Dry Oak Forest, Mesic Oak Forest, Oak Woodland - Brushland, and <br />Lowland Hardwood Forest <br />• Wetland Communities: Deep Marshes, Shallow Marshes, Wet Meadows, Shrub Swamps, <br />Wooded Swamps, and Seasonally flooded basins. <br />For more information on each of the natural community classifications refer to Minnesota's <br />Native Vegetation, A Key to Natural Communities (Minnesota Department of Natural <br />Resources, 1993) and Wetland Plants and Plant Communities of Minnesota & Wisconsin <br />(Eggers and Reed, US Army Corps of Engineers, 1997). <br />Roseville is fortunate to have several lakes within the city that serve as important recreational <br />and habitat resources. Langton Lake features a nature trail, an accessible fishing pier and is <br />great for canoeing. Bennett Lake is great for shore fishing and features a new fishing pier <br />with lowered rail sections making it easier for children to fish. It is stocked with walleye <br />fingerlings, channel catfish yearlings, and large adult bluegills. Lake Josephine has public <br />shoreline access at the Ramsey County park. Fishing at Lake Josephine has been limited to <br />angling for bass, small bluegill and the occasional northern pike but stocking of walleye <br />fingerlings is anticipated to provide additional angling opportunities. <br />McCarrons Lake has a designated shore fishing area along the south shore of the lake near the <br />intersection of South McCarron Boulevard and Western Avenue accessed by a flight of <br />stairs. Lake Owasso is accessible by a Ramsey County owned boat ramp on North Owasso <br />Boulevard but shore fishing is limited. Owasso is a managed Muskie lake, however, it is most <br />popular with recreational boaters and water skiers. <br />3.0 Water Resource Management <br />This section of the CSWMP presents a synopsis of the current organizational entities whose <br />programs and regulations are relevant to the management of water resources within Roseville. <br />The City is committed to the preservation and enhancement of its water resources through <br />full compliance with local, state, and federal regulations. <br />3.1 County, State and Federal Agencies <br />There are numerous County, State, and Federal agencies which play a role in managing water <br />resources within the City. Among them are: <br />• Federal Emergency Management Agency — the Federal Emergency Management Agency <br />(FEMA) operates the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). To participate in the <br />NFIP and receive federally backed flood insurance, communities must adopt and enforce <br />floodplain management ordinances to reduce future flood damage. <br />Metropolitan Council — the Metropolitan Council is responsible for collecting and <br />treating wastewater for the Twin Cities metro area, monitoring the metro area surface <br />water quality, and leads watershed planning through the authority provided by state law <br />to review and comment on metro area watershed management organization (WMO) or <br />watershed district (WD) plans and local water resources plans as part of local <br />comprehensive plans. <br />Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan ROSEV120222 <br />City of Roseville Page 12 <br />
