The executive summary needs to be simplified and more directly address the goals and objectives of GLWMO's lake planning effort. 2. The TAC discussed the general water quality trends in each lake. 3. The TAC discussed potential reasons for the high turbidity in Lake Owasso noting high power boat usage, high herbicide treatment, and the shallow nature of Lake Owasso. Rye noted that a revised executive summary will be completed by August I5, 1995 D-2 MPCA's proposed wetland guidelines. Earlier in the day on July 20, 1995, Marty Rye attended a meeting with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA} to discuss a draft document entitled "Guidance for Evaluating Urban Stormwater and Snow Melt Run-off Impacts to Wetland." Rye noted that this document, while not a formal rule, will likely be implemented by other agencies as a rule. Rye noted concern that standards outlined in this draft report may not have received adequate public input. The guidelines outline standards to be applied to newly constructed storm sewer systems that discharge into existing wetlands. The purpose of the guidelines is to protect the existing wetlands from damage caused by new run-off. Rye noted that the adoption of these guidelines may have large impacts on metropolitan communities. The Board directed staffto investigate potential impacts to both Roseville and Shoreview and report the findings to the Board at its next meeting. E. Bills E-1 Smith moved that the Board approve the following invoices to be paid by the GLWMO: SEH, Inc.
