engineering solutions to meet the stonn water infiltration rules? . What about the timeliness of reviews and approval of permits? CRWD has indicated that they will adhere to the 60 day rule for review; however, they will not review a project until it has been approved by the City Council. This could be disastrous for City street reconstruction projects. Once the plans have been approved by the council, we advertise for 3 weeks and usually start construction in an additional 3 weeks. The timeline would delay our projects start date by at least an additional 6 weeks. . How will storm water volume be controlled where infiltration does not occur because of the clay-based soils that occur in a majority ofRoseville? . Has a cost benefit analysis been performed by CRWD to determine the relationship between water quality improvements in the Mississippi river and the public and private costs incurred by the City and property owners in the city. The rules were developed by CRWD staff without the assistance of the member cities. We are very concerned about the thresholds set by the rules and our ability to meet the standards. We are also concerned that the required facilities for new developments will add maintenance responsibilities for the Public Works Staff. Roseville staff met with staff from all of the jurisdictions (Roseville, St. Paul, Falcon Heights, Maplewood, Ramsey County Public Works, MulDot) in the Watershed District on Wednesday November 16th to discuss the common issues and concerns we share over the proposed rules. While all agreed that we share the same goals as the Watershed District regarding water quality, we felt that more technical discussion with the stakeholders should occur before implementation of new rules. Representatives from the jurisdictions attended the public hearing held at the District offices in S1. Paul later that evening to propose the comment period be extended and a technical advisory panel be established to work through the concerns of the various jurisdictions and refine the proposed rules if necessary. Subsequently, the Board extended the comment period to December 15th and will consider our suggestions once the comment period ends. These rules will also be discussed by the City Council at their 11121 work session. Recommended Action: Additional discussion of the effect of the proposed rules.
