S-2 Financial Report
Maloney noted that the current format for the financial report, a municipal accounting
format, does not show clearly transactions and an analysis of each fund the Board
operates from.
Aichinger suggested a single sheet format that would show:
1) Original budget
2) Established projects
3) Current month's expenses
4) Year-to-date expenses
5) Balance of each fund
6) Total balance also reflecting revenue
7) Activity in cost-share programs.
Maloney stated that the financial report does not split out evenly contract services of city
staff. Many watersheds have an accountant and an attorney. When Grass Lake was
created in the early 1980s, there was a conscious action on the part of Roseville and
Shoreview to make the watershed a transparent layer of government and to leverage
existing resources.
Mogg stated that the first item listed in the original Joint Powers Agreement regarding
Board activities is a statement to save money. He explained that is why he tends to vote
against projects that cost money. He would like further discussion about spending money
because he does not want to see the structure changed, resulting in higher taxes. He
would support the watershed serving cities without having to go to another level of
administration.
Maloney stated that during the last legislative session data was collected to determine if
certain types of watershed districts are viable. One indicator used by the Legislative
Auditor in the report was how much money was actually being spent toward improving
or protecting water resources. Because GLWMO spends so little, as compared to most
watershed districts, there's a real danger in the question being raised. as to why it exists as
a joint powers body as opposed to a District with direct taxation authority.

Ferrington noted that there is also risk in not spending money that there is a perception
that the Board falls low in producing results.. There could be a suggestion of a merger
into a larger organization, which raises issues of maintaining local control.
It was the consensus of the Board to finalize a format for the financial report at the next
meeting.
C. Invoices
C-1 Invoices to be considered for payment:
Maloney stated that the first of the two invoices is for just under $12,000 for Barr
Engineering for work in accordance with the study contract. The second invoice is from
the City of Shoreview for technical staff time and administrative functions not contracted
with Ramsey-Washington Watershed District in the amount of $12,571.03.
It was the consensus of the Board for the invoices to be paid.
Aichinger noted that it would be helpful for the financial report to summarize the
invoices being presented for payment.
It was the consensus of the Board for the financial report to include bills presented as
paid or proposed to be paid.

How to >Jse this g2eport
In order to get the most out of the information presented in this report please refer to the following explanations as to how the data in this report is
tied together and how some of the terms are defined.
Qualifiers and Abbreviations are defined in the following section. You will find these codes used throughout the report in headers and in note
sections to designate a unique fact about the data to which they are associated.
The Case Narrative gives a "story" about the analysis and results. Here you will find greater elaboration on relevant qualifiers as well as an
explanation of anything of particular note in the data. This is a discussion of the data in terms of quality control and chemistry. It is a summary of
any deviations that could affect the usefulness of the data. This is not an interpretation as to how this information relates to regulatory compliance,
toxicity, or hazardous characterization. These items are beyond the scope of this report.
The Sample Summary provides detail on sample receipt. The association between Client sample ID and the Laboratory sample ID are defined here;
this information is valuable to have when discussing results with your project manager. Sample collection and receipt dates and times are provided
here as well. General notes regarding the work order are also documented here. This is a mini "case narrative" that describes any anomalies
regarding the condition of the samples upon arrival to the laboratory or special circumstances regarding the work order.
The Conditions Upon Receipt summarizes the results of specific checks that have been performed at sample receipt. This includes items like
custody documentation, sample condition, and temperature at receipt. Each "cooler" is identified and the conditions associated with that cooler are
documented. A "cooler" is defined as the larger container used to transport the individual samples. In most cases this is a standard recreational
cooler but it can be a box, plastic bag, or other container.
The laboratory results are summarized in the following sections. Data is broken down into major categories for convenience. An example of such
a category would be "Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons." Here you would find data that references the testing of such parameters as diesel range
organics and gasoline range organics. Other categories are similarly mapped. The batch number is associated with each sample. This is important
to evaluate Quality Control (QC) data. Surrogate results samples are provided with each sample. Laboratory control limits are provided for
comparison (see below). The reference method is also identified. If a method is denoted with an "M" (e.g. EPA 1234(M)) this means that it has
been modified. An explanation of the modification will be found in the Case Narrative. A result is given with appropriate units. If a soil sample is
dry-weight corrected then the word "dry" will appear next to the units. If the word "dry" does not appear then the result is "as received."
The Method Reporting Limit (MRL) is provided. It is important to understand this term. The MRL is a level that has been empirically verified to
provide reliable quantification of results. Results that are equal to or greater than this value will show up as bolded. They are considered "hits" If
a result is less than the MRL, the result is given as less than the MRL (e.g. if the MRL = 10 then a less than would be given as "< 10").
The Quality Control (QC) samples are documented in the following section. Here you will find the preparation batches associated with each
sample from the results section. The sample preparation method is also defined here. Accuracy is represented in terms of a percent recovery as
compared to a known value. Precision is represented as a relative percent difference between two duplicate sample aliquots. The laboratory
control limits are provided as a means to evaluate the quality control data. If the result falls outside the laboratory control limits this simply means
that it is outside what is typical for the laboratory and is noted accordingly. This does not mean that the data is invalid. Laboratory control limit`
are generally tighter than roost program limits. This is a very important distinction. How the data is ultimately used determines its validity.
Program requirements are defined in the Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) governing the project. If your project manager is aware of your
specific program requirements then a note will be made in the case narrative if the data fails to meet any of these requirements.
The last section contains copies of important documents and/or instrument printouts relevant to the report. This includes the chain of custody. It
also may include items like chromatograms or spectra.
Please note that this report is paginated and. must be reproduced in its entirety.

Draft
ecti 9. dace ter ae et
Introduction
Physical Environment
As Shoreview's name implies, the City has a variety of lakes, wetlands and waterways that
provide aesthetic, environmental and recreational value to the community. The City has an area
of 8,100 acres (12.7 square miles) of land of which approximately 2,400 acres are a combination
of surface water and Type 3 to 7 wetland features. Portions of three major watersheds exist with
in the City (Map 9D-1). The three Watershed Management Organizations (WMOs) include the
Grass Lake Watershed encompassing approximately 3,100 acres, the Rice Creek watershed
encompassing approximately 4,650 acres and the Vadnais Lake Watershed encompassing
approximately 350 acres.
In addition to jurisdiction by the WMOs, a number of lakes, wetlands and creeks are included on
the State of Minnesota Inventory of Protected Waters, and so are under the jurisdiction of the
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (Map 9D-2). Of the eight lakes in Shoreview, five
have public boat access facilities operated by Ramsey County Parks and the water quality in
these five lakes supports full body contact recreational uses (Map 10-1).
The City is now almost fully developed and will rely on infill and redevelopment to meet the
changing needs of residents. Overall, the low-density residential development pattern will
remain with some areas transitioning to higher density residential uses, employment centers, and
shopping areas. Other Chapters of this Plan fully discuss the City's goals for land use and
economic development that will guide development during the life of this Plan. The City
recognizes the many effects land development has on surface waters and the natural
environment. As a developed community, the City has a challenging surface wa-ter resources
environment, with large areas of the City developed prior to establishment of surface water
regulations.
The geology, soils, and other physical features that exist in the City are described in other
chapters of this Plan, including Land Use (Chapter 4), Natural Resources (Chapter 11), Water
Supply (Chapter 9C), and Park and Open Space (Chapter 10). Surface Water Management is
interrelated to these other elements of the Plan, and so there is necessarily overlap and repetition
with the information presented in those Chapters of the Plan.
Regulatory Environment
The regulatory environment for surface water management includes many Federal, State, and
local agencies.
Surface Water Management Page 9.D-1
Shoreview Comprehensive Plan
Federal Government
Federal programs and regulations that affect how the City manages surface water include the
Clean Water Act (CWA) and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase
II Storm Water Permit Program.
The CWA regulates pollutants in surface water and includes provisions that regulate discharge of
material into waters of the United States, including wetlands. The Environmental Protection
Agency develops and interprets policy for Section 404 permitting and the Army Corps of
Engineers administers the permitting process.
As an amendment to the CWA, the NPDES program requires owners of Municipally Separated
Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) to prepare and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Program (SWPPP) and apply for the permit with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
(MPCA), which administers the Phase II MS4 program in the state..
State of Minnesota
State agencies responsible for surface water include the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil
Resources (BWSR), the MPCA, and Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MN DNR).
BWSR is the administrative agency for the soil and water conservation districts, watershed
districts, metropolitan watershed management organization, and county water managers. The
agency works with local government to protect and enhance the State's soil and water resources
by implementing the states soil and water conservation policy, comprehensive local watershed
management, and the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA). The purpose of the WCA is to
maintain and protect Minnesota's wetlands and the benefits they provide. BWSR administers
the act and the MN DNR enforces it.
The MN DNR also enforces shoreland management standards for certain lakes and rivers. The
Shoreland Management Act regulates all land within 1,000-feet of a lake and 300-feet or a river
and its designated floodplain. The City adopted a Shoreland Ordinance in 1992, and the
regulations have been amended in 1994, 2000,. and 2004. The Ordinance has been approveded
by the MN DNR.
Local Governement -- City of Shoreview and Watershed Management
Organizations
The programs that drive the regulations for management of surface water within the City
principally include, but are not limited to, the State's Metropolitan Surface Water Management
Program (MSWMP) and. Watershed Management Organizations (WMO).
Surface Water Management Page 9.D-2
Shoreview Comprehensive Plan
The purpose of the MSWMP is that through policies and thoughtful program implementation,
goals for proper water and wetland resource management can be realized and water quality can
be protected. Regulations for this program are set forth in Minnesota Statutes 103B.201 to
103B.255, and Minnesota Rule, Chapter 8410. These Statutes and Rules require the preparation
of watershed plans by WMOs and the preparation of local water management plans that are
consistent with the respective WMO plans.
As noted above, Shoreview is located within three major watershed districts: the Rice Creek
Watershed District (RCWD); the Grass Lake Watershed Management Organization (GLWMO),
and; the Vadnais Lake Area Watershed Management Organization (VLAWMO). The watershed
districts act as the local unit of government for surface water management and have the authority
to adopt rules to regulate, conserve, and control the use of water resources within the district.
The City of Shoreview works with the districts and the City's current Surface Water
Management Plan (SWMP) was review and approved by GLWMO and RCWD. VLAWMO
does not have jurisdictional authority within the City but was included in the planning and
review process of the SWMP.
The City complies with the agencies, programs, and various regulations listed above and intends
to remain in compliance into the future.
The natural environment remains relatively static in that the City's geology, soils, lakes and
wetlands are set in place. The regulatory environment is dynamic, and the City must maintain
goals, policies and implementation techniques that reflect the changing regulations for surface
waters in the City, and the changing conditions that result from actions that affect surface waters
and stormwater runoff.
Surface Water Management Plan
The Second Generation SWMP was adopted in 2005, and establishes a guide for surface water
activities throughout the City. The SWMP is intended to remain dynamic by providing new
information, ideas, methods, standards, and management practices. An electronic copy is
available on the City website
The City reviews the plan and residents or businesses within the City can request amendments to
the plan. The City Council and the WMO's determine whether or not to approve the proposed
amendment.
The SWMP includes an inventory of the natural resources found in the community. This
information is also included in the Comprehensive Plan, in this Chapter and in Natural
Resources -Chapter 11.
• National Wetland Inventory (NWI) wetlands (Map 9D-3)
• Wetland Classification (Map 9D-4)
• Watershed sub-basins (Map 9D-5)
Surface Water Management Page 9.D-3
Shoreview Comprehensive Plan
The SWMP established nine main goals each with corresponding policies and implementation
actions. The nine goals are intended to address the following aspects of surface waters:
L Water Quality
2. Water Quantity (Flooding)
3. Wetlands
4. Erosion Control
5. Groundwater
6. Recreation, Habitat, and Shoreline Management
7. Public Participation, Information, and Education
8. Maintenance and Inspection
9. Regulatory Responsibility
Action-Implementation Plans were developed for each of the nine goals and each. water body
category in Shoreview. The Action Plans identify current or potential problems related to
achieving the stated goals and recommended approaches and/or solutions for addressing the
problems. The Action-Implementation Plan may include specific activity steps, reference to the
applicable NPDES Permit Best. Management Practice (BMP), available resources, and the means
of measuring the completion of the activity step and a target date for completion.
Concurrent with the development of the SWMP, the City collected and analyzed the information
necessary to update the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), and submitted a Letter of Map
Revision (LOMR) to the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The LOMR was accepted
by FEMA in March 2005 (Map 9D-7).
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System /Storm Water
Pollution Prevention Program
The NPDES Phase II storm water permit program in urban areas is designed to further reduce
adverse impacts to water quality and puts controls on runoff that have the greatest likelihood of
causing continued environmental degradation.
The regulatory program in Minnesota covers three aspects of storm water runoff: Industrial Sites,
Municipally Separated Storm Sewer Systems (MS4), and construction sites. The City of
Shoreview qualifies as an MS4 and is responsible for storm water that discharges to waters of the
state coming from within the jurisdiction of the City and conveyance systems owned by the City
such as storm drains, ditches, and storm water ponds.. The City was required to apply for an
NPDES permit and develop a SWPPP to address stormwater discharges.
The City submitted. the initial NPDES permit application and SWPPP in 2003 and subsequent
annual reports summarizing the status of compliance with permit conditions. A revised NPDES
permit application and SWPPP was submitted in 2006.
Surface Water Management Page 9.D-4
Shoreview Comprehensive Plan
The SWPPP addresses six minimum control measures required as part of the NPDES permit
process. To address each of the minimum control measures the SWPPP provides a description of
each Best Management Practice (BMP), an implementation, measurable goals that determine the
success or benefit, and the person responsible for its completion. The minimum control
measures are listed below:
1. Public Education and Outreach
2. Public Involvement and Participation
3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
4. Construction Site Storm Water Controls
5. Post Construction Storm Water Management for New Development and Redevelopment
6. Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
Surface Water Utility Fee
The City has adopted a surface water utility fee to fund repair and replacement of existing
conveyance systems and provide a funding source for implementation of goals listed in the
SWMP and BMPs listed in the SWPPP. Estimated operating costs, capital costs, and debt
payments for insuring the integrity of the system are included in the City's Comprehensive
Infrastructure Replacement Plan and Policy, with a time horizon of 50 years. The City's Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP), which has a 5-year time horizon, includes a more detailed description
of projects. A copy of the portion of the current CIP showing projects addressing surface waters
is attached (Table 9D-1).

SurFace Water Management Page 9.D-5
Shoreview Comprehensive Plan
The City's storm water management system is funded with this utility, including storm sewer
and storm water ponds (Map 9D-6).
Impaired Waters
The City does have five water bodies that appear on the 2008 MPCA Final Draft list of impaired
waters.. ,which are listed below:
• Rice Creek (Aquatic Macroinvertebrate and Fish bioassessments)
• Island Lake (NutrienbEutrophication/Biologic indicators)
• Turtle Lake (Mercury in fish tissue)
• Snail Lake (Mercury in fish tissue)
• Lake Owasso (Mercury in fish tissue)
Two of these, Snail and Owasso, are included in the Statewide Mercury Total Maximum Daily
Load (TMDL) study, which was approved by the United States Environmental Protection
Agency in 2007. This study identifies that deposition of mercury from the atmosphere is the
principal component of the mercury concentration in game fish. No local point or non-point
sources of mercury were identified in Shoreview and no City action is required.
At this time a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) has not been established for the other three
impaired waters located within the City. Once MPCA funding is allocated the WMO where is
the impaired water is located will act as the LGU and initiate the study, and so for each of the
three impaired waters within the City, the RCWD will be responsible for the study. The City of
Shoreview will work with the RCWD in an advisory role in the development of the study and
establishment of the TMDL. After the study is complete and a TMDL has been established the
City will review the SWPPP to determine if it is adequate to meet the TMDL's Waste Load
Allocations. If the SWPPP is not meeting the applicable requirements, schedules, and objectives
of the established TMDL, the SWPPP will be modified as appropriate.
Although TMDL limits have not been established for the impaired waters within Shoreview's
boundary the City will review the existing SWPPP to determine if modifications can be made to
reduce the impact of our storm water discharge.
Goals, Policies and lZecoended Actions
The City will rely on the SWMP as the primary mechanism for managing surface water
resources. The SWMP establishes the following Goals.
Water Quality -Maintain or improve water quality to meet established standards
consistent with the intended use and classification, with special focus on Category I water
bodies.
2. Water Quantity (Flooding) -Control flooding and protect property while minimizing
public expenditures necessary to control volumes and rates of runoff
Surface Water Management Page 9.D-6
Shoreview Comprehensive Plan
3. Wetlands -Preserve and improve wetlands acreage, functions and values and achieve no
net loss of wetlands in conformance with the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act and
associated rules
4. Erosion Control -Minimize soil erosion and sedimentation
5. Groundwater -Protect the quality and quantity of groundwater resources and promote
groundwater recharge
6. Recreation, Habitat and Shoreline -Recreation, habitat and shoreline management,
Protect and enhance fisheries and wildlife habitat, surface water recreation and
shorelands
7. Public Participation,. Information and Education -Public participation, information and
education. Provide information and educational resources to improve knowledge and
promote an active public role in management of water resources
8. Maintenance and Inspection -Preserve function and performance of public infrastructure
through continued implementation of a maintenance and inspection program
9. Regulatory Responsibility - Maintain primary responsibility for managing water
resources at the local level but continue coordination and cooperation with other agencies
and organizations
The SWMP identifies policies and implementation plans for each of these goals, and the City is
committed to adhere to those policies and plans throughout the life of this Plan. Furthermore,
the SWMP is annually reviewed by the City and updated as deemed necessary. Reliance on the
SWMP as the principal guiding document far surface waters allows the City flexibility to
respond to changing circumstances and opportunities for improving and protecting valuable
surface water resources. With that basis, the following policies will guide the City:
A. Surface water management shall meet the standards of the Rice Creek Watershed District
and the Grass Lake Watershed Management Organization.
B. The City will insure the Shoreland Management Ordinance remains consistent with the
requirements of the Department of Natural Resources Rules.
C. The City will remain in compliance with MS4 NPDES/SWPPP requirements.
D. The City will encourage development and redevelopment activity to incorporate regional
storm water ponds in their storm water management plans.
E. The City will require compliance with erosion control regulations for projects disturbing
soil within the City, and the use of BMPs on these sites.
F. The City, along with other agencies, will work to develop education and outreach
programs to promote practices that enhance surface waters in the City.
G. The City will promote infiltration of surface water, for development projects and for
individual residential properties.
H. The City will encourage vegetative buffers around ponds and wetlands. The width and
vegetation type shall reflect the wetland classification and its function.
I. Groundwater recharge areas around City wells shall be protected.
Similar to policies, the SWMP also details implementation actions, which the City intends to use
as the principal policy instrument for managing surface waters. The City expects the following
actions will occur:
Surface Water Management Page 9.D-7
Shoreview Comprehensive Plan
1. The City will work to develop and implement a program to detect and eliminate illicit
discharges into the storm water system.
2. The City will review the Municipal Code requirements that regulate impervious surfaces
for opportunities to reduce hard surface on development and redevelopment sites. The
City will encourage the use of pervious materials for hard surfaced areas.
3. The City will participate in TDML studies. and implementation of recommended actions
for impaired waters. The City will conduct activities to improve the quality of impaired.
waters.
4. The City will conduct an annual review of the SWMP and SWPPP to insure these are up-
to-date, and consistent with state and federal regulations.
5. The City will monitor private Individual Sewage Treatment Systems within the City until
such time as another public agency has jurisdiction.
6. The City will review the monitoring of private ponds for compliance with maintenance
activities.
7. The City anticipates adopting a Wellhead Protection Plan during the life of this Plan
(See Chapter 9C -Water Supply).
8. The City will continue to participate in education and outreach programs to promote
resident participation in addressing these surface water goals.
9. The City will explore incentives to encourage property owners to implement storrnwater
BMPs on their property.
10. The City will consider the Goals and Policies for surface water management while
conducting maintenance activities and constructing public improvements.
