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
