To: Plan Reviewers From.: Karen Chandler, on Behalf of Grass Lake WMO Board Subject: Grass Lake WMO Board Responses to Comments on Draft Watershed Management Plan Date: December 26, 2000 c: Grass Lake WMO Board and Staff Page: 6 The City of Roseville adopted by ordinance the Met Council's Interim Strategy and the city's surface water management plan. Through these measures, the city has met the Met Council's criteria. 5. Role of GLWMO in Groundwater Protection Reviewer Comments: Reviewer Location(s) in Comment Letter Comments BWSR Items circled "5" The BWSR believes the GLWMO plan could emphasize the groundwater management programs of other agencies and the GLWMO's strategy to parh7er with those agencies in their programs. The BWSR questions how the GLWMO will identify and regulate the protection of sensitive groundwater areas? GLWMO Response to Comments: It is the intent of the GLWMO Board and its member cities to cooperate with the other units of government responsible for managing and protecting groundwater, and to support the policies in Ramsey County's groundwater management plan. Section 5.8 of the GLWMO plan will be revised to reflect this position. More information about the other agencies' groundwater management programs and the Ramsey County groundwater plan policies will be added to the GLWMO plan. The GLWMO and the member cities will cooperate with Ramsey County and the ONR to protect sensitive groundwater areas. 6. Inclusion of More Stormwater Management Information in Plan Reviewer Comments: Reviewer Location(s) in Comment Letter Comments Met Council Items circled "6" The Met Council points out that the 84I 0 rules require the watershed plan to include more Stormwater management information than is currently in the WMO plan. They state that although some of the stormwater information can be in the local plans instead of the WMO plan, other information such as existing/proposed 100-year flood elevations and peak discharges and flood. profile information for channelized flow is supposed to be u1 the WMO plan. The Met Council. does not have a copy of the GLWMO's Level Control Plan to determine if it contains all the additional information required. The Met Council also cannot determine where all of the individual systems drain, where improvements can be made, and where runoff ca-1 be diverted to reduce flooding or improve water quality.
