After completion of the GLWMO plan, the cities of Roseville and Shoreview prepared individual plans that conform to the 1987 GLWMO plan. The city plans were completed in 1990. As part of implementing the GLWMO plan, the GLWMO completed studies and projects to address specific water quality and drainage concerns in the watershed. 1.2.2 Grass Lake WMO Purposes -This Plan With this plan, the GLWMO's general purposes are similar to those stated in the 1987 plan and are reflected in the goals and policies stated later in this plan (Section 5). The GLWMO's general goals are to: • Manage regional water quality issues, with emphasis placed on the recreational lakes in the watershed • Manage intercommunity stormwater runoff, flooding and other water quantity issues. • Keep regulation at the local level -the GLWMO will not administer a permit program • Develop the policies to be implemented by the cities that are needed to protect GLWMO's water resources. • Reduce to the greatest practical extent the public capital expenditures necessary to control excessive volumes and rates of stormwater runoff while pursuing the goals and policies of this plan. • Provide a mechanism to assess performance of the GLWMO and the member cities toward achieving the goals stated in this plan. • Provide member cities with useful information about the GLWMO, its activities, and water resource management.
