Watershed District Rules Changes/Implementation <br /> <br />Item out of order: <br /> <br />Duane Schwmiz said he'd like to have a discussion on changes going on <br />in watershed management organizations. <br /> <br />Deb Bloom gave some background on the three watershed districts within <br />Roseville and on the new requirements for infiltration that m-e being put on <br />cities. It's much more difficult for Roseville, as a fully-developed city, to <br />meet these new standards than it is for some other outer ring suburbs. <br />Schwartz asked the Commission for their input on what they think the <br />City's position should be. <br /> <br />Member Willenbring asked if these new requirements would be directed <br />towm-ds commercial developments as well. Bloom said it already is. <br /> <br />Member Shiely said that the cost, which would probably be over $200,000 <br />per mile in five yem-s, is prohibitive. He said it's onerous, retroactive and <br />economically prohibitive. <br /> <br />Member Fischer asked what exceptions, if any, are built into the rules. <br />Bloom responded that there may be exemptions if there is soil <br />contamination or a high water table, or also if the road is less than 100 feet <br />long. <br /> <br />Member Wilke asked if the Met Council was dictating the rules. Bloom <br />responded that each watershed district is an independent governing <br />agency. <br /> <br />Page 2 of5 <br />
