Minutes/August 19, 2004 Page 2 D-2 Shoreview Surface Water Management Plan Ron Leaf, SEH, Inc. gave an overview of Shoreview's Second Generation Surface Water Management Plan. Mr. Leaf noted that the City of Shoreview is also processing updates to the FEMA floodplain boundaries in conjunction with the development of the SWMP. He outlined the process to date indicating that, technically, the agency comment period for the Plan was over. He noted that the City of Shoreview would continue to acknowledge comments for another few weeks before the staff would be asking the City Council to take final action to adopt the plan. Board members asked Mr. Leaf if he could recall areas where the Shoreview plan specifically exceeded or fell short of the requirements of the Grass Lake plan standards. It was noted that the Shoreview plan relied heavily on the direction from Grass Lake WMO, but one area where it may fall short is in establishing water quality action levels for non-WMO ponds and water bodies. It was suggested that a field could be added to the Hydrologic Summary Table (Appendix D) indicating a water body's sensitivity to or effects from bounce. The Board members reviewed past discussions regarding the process for GLWMO approval of local plans, and whether outside consultants (or board members) should review the plans or simply have the cities certify compliance to the Board. The representatives of the cities were eventually directed to certify to the GLWMO Board that the local plans had been prepared in compliance with the GLWMO Plan standards, and specifically note areas of exceedence or shortcomings, with the idea that these areas would be noted and reviewed during future report card development. D-3 2002-2003 Lake Data Board member Mogg reviewed the data previously received from Ramsey County and indicated some clarification needed to be added to the minutes from the previous (06/06/04) meeting. It was suggested that the WMO should request any/all STOREY data for GLWMO-managed water bodies from Barr Engineering, and forward to Cliff Aichinger of Ramsey Washington Metro Watershed District. D-1 West Vadnais Lake Outlet Joint Powers Agreement (cont.) The Board discussed protecting the GLWMO from downstream claims for participation in past or future flood control projects. It was the consensus of the Board to continue to participate in the West Vadnais Outlet Project for costs as reflected in the Draft Joint Powers Agreement, with the condition of the final JPA containing appropriate language for the participating parties holding each other harmless for claims arising from the proposed improvement.
