We propose to emphasize the issues vve perceive the Board feels most important, and to spend less time on other requirements of the plan. The paragraphs below identifi~ the issues we believe you feel are most important and describe work tasks necessarv~ to prepare the WMP. This work plan is not an outline of the WMP, only of the work Most plans follow the format inferred by MN Rules 8410: an inventory- of resources and related infrastnicture; identification of issues or problems; establishment of standards, goals and policies relating to the issues: and description of implementation initiatives and capital improvement schedules. Within this format. the plan must present information regarding precipitation, geology, topograph},ditches. yyetlands. the hydrologic system. groundwater. soils. land use, parks and recreation, fish and wildlife habitat, unique features, and pollutant sources. Although MN Rules 8410 describes the appropriate content of your WMP_ you may vary the format to best meet your needs. This work plan proposes to focus on issues key to your WMO rather than a presumed report format. In this way, the inventories. problem assessments, policies, and implementation plans are built around the key issues. Plan Emphasis On the basis of what we have heard in our discussions at Board meetings, with Managers, and with staff, we believe the key issues involve (1) wetlandnd water bodies, (2) management of surface water flows, (3) redevelopment issues, and (4) a system of .~~countability and performance evaluation for the WMO and member communities. The work will p?<<~e less emphasis on the other items required by MN Rules 8410.
