7. ADMINISTRATORS REPORT <br />Recommended Change in Erosion & Sediment Control Guidance Document <br />The District grading permit application currently requires that all erosion and sediment control plans <br />conform to the Ramsey County Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook (Ramsey County Handbook). <br />This requirement. is not a District rule, but a guideline in the Watershed Management Plan. Staff would <br />like to incorporate the concepts contained in the newly released Minnesota Urban Small Sites BMP <br />Manual into the District's permit application and review process. They feel that the manual includes <br />several BMPs that would be valuable for developers and designers to consider incorporating into their <br />project plans. Staff has reviewed both the BMP Manual and the Ramsey County Handbook and <br />recommends that the Board approve the use of the BMP Manual as the primary guidance document for <br />BMP selection and design for District permit applications. It is further recommended that the Ramsey <br />County Handbook be used as a technical reference for elements not covered by the BMP Manual. If <br />approved, the District permit packet materials and the District Watershed Management Plan would be <br />modified to support this change. _ <br />Motion: Jack Frost moved, Pam Skinner seconded, to accept staff recommendations and authorize the <br />use of the Minnesota Urban: Small Sites BMP Manual as the primary guidance document far BMP <br />selection and design for District permit applications.
