<br />What the Grass Lake Water
<br />Management Organization is
<br />all about ...
<br />Our organization was formed when the cities of
<br />Roseville and Shoreview executed a Joint Powers
<br />Agreement on December 27, 1983 in response to
<br />the Metropolitan Surface Water Management Act.
<br />This agreement gave us the authority to address
<br />the problems of increased flooding and degraded
<br />water quality in the watershed. Tlie legal roles,
<br />responsibilities, and powers of our organization are
<br />outlined in Minnesota Statute 1038 and the Joint
<br />Powers Agreement.
<br />The GLWMO has several overall watershed man-
<br />agement purposes, including managing intercom-
<br />munity storm water runoff, protecting and preserv-
<br />ing water resources, establishing policies for water
<br />resource management, preventing soil erosion,
<br />promoting groundwater recharge, and protecting
<br />and enhancing wildlife habitat and water recreation,
<br />all while minimizing public capital expenditures.
