Grass Lake Water Mgmt Org. 3rd Gen 509 Plan Task 2.3 Draft Implementation Program and Capital Improvement Plan Description: The EOR team will develop recommendations for implementation to address the identified issues within the watershed. The team will gather input on implementation programs and projects in Tasks 1.1 and 1.3 and will use that input to develop a draft implementation program capital improvement plan. The implementation plan will address responsibilities, programs, projects and priorities to address the water quality of specific lakes and ponds and of lakes, wetlands, and ponds in general. For example, the implementation plan will discuss the Lake Bennett impairments, TMDL requirements and methods of containing phosphorous transfers into Lake Bennett and the wetland complexes associated with Central Park. The plan will also address stormwater runoff quality, rates and volumes, erosion and sediment control, wetland management, recreation, habitat, and shoreland management, ongoing education and public involvement, stormwater facility maintenance, groundwater protection and recharge, and a method for evaluation and accountability of progress toward plan goals. In addition, the plan will include a review of the surrounding watershed management organizations (RCWD and CRWD) rules and regulations and make recommendations for which standards will provide the most protection for the GLWMO's water resources. One suggestion for developing this method is to include tracking information on the one page summary developed for inventoried waterbodies (see examples provided in Appendix B). The implementation section of the plan will benefit from EOR's expertise in creatively incorporating effective CIPs in urban sites by focusing on practices and opportunities that are effective in fully developed and redeveloping areas including the enhancement of function in existing treatment practices (e.g. the use of iron filings to address phosphorous removal management goals see project experience in Appendix B). Various financing options from grants to levy, as well as funding priorities and timelines will be discussed in the plan. The Impact on Local Governments section will update the relationship between Roseville, Shoreview, and the GLWMO and will provide criteria for reviewing efforts of member cities on behalf of the GLWMO including stormwater facility maintenance. This section will also highlight a communication plan for interactions with the cities and other government agencies as the GLWMO moves forward with implementation of the plan. Deliverables: A review of the Capitol Region Watershed District's and Rice Creek Watershed District's Rules and Regulations with recommendations for which language member communities should adopt to provide the most protection for the GLWMO's water resources. This review will include the following rule components: rate control; volume control (including recommendations for design infiltration rates); water quality; wetland bounce and duration; and erosion and sediment control. Draft Implementation Plan and Capital Improvement Plan Task 2.4 Complete Draft Plan for Internal and Formal Review Description: The EOR team will prepare an Introduction and Executive Summary for the plan which along with the sections developed in Tasks 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 will form the complete draft plan for internal review. The Plan will be revised to address comments received in Task 1.4. The final draft plan will then be submitted to the GLWMO for approval for distribution in the formal review process (Phase 3). Deliverables: The executive summary will be a targeted document which could be used to facilitate the rolling membership of the Board over the ten -year timeframe of the Plan. This executive summary should clearly identify stakeholder groups, goals for watershed Emmons 011vlsr Rssouress, Inc. water 1 ecology 1 community 7
