24 Memorandum To: Black Dog Watershed Management Organization Commissioners From: Karen Chandler and Greg Williams Subject: Black Dog WMO Review of the revised City of Burnsville Water Resources Management Plan Date: September 11, 2017 Project: The City of Burnsville revised their Water Resources Management Plan (2017 WRMP) to meet the requirements of the NPDES MS4 permit program, Minnesota Statutes 103B, Minnesota Rules 8410, and the Black Dog Watershed Management Organization Watershed Management Plan (BDWMO Plan). In July 2017, Barr reviewed the agency review draft of the 2017 WRMP for consistency with the BDWMO Plan and provided comments that were transmitted to the City via a letter and attachments dated July 25, Comments provided by Barr and Metropolitan Council requiring revisions to the 2017 WRMP were limited to the City s implementation program (Table 33 in the 2017 WRMP). Other comments included recommended, minor revisions. The City provided a revised draft of the 2017 WRMP in September At the request of the BDWMO, Barr has reviewed the revised 2017 WRMP and determined that the City has sufficiently addressed all comments provided in the July 25, 2017 letter. The revised 2017 WRMP is consistent with Minnesota Rules 8410 and the BDWMO Plan, and meets the requirements placed on Cities in that plan. Comments and required revisions provided by the Metropolitan Council and BDWMO are listed below, followed by a brief summary (in italicized text) of how the comment is addressed in the revised 2017 WRMP. Requested Commission Action: 1. Review summary of revisions to comments. 2. Direct Barr to prepare cover letter and send this memorandum to the City of Burnsville and its consultants, indicating the BDWMO approval of the City s 2017 Water Resources Management Plan. Metropolitan Council Comments and Required Revisions 1. The Capital Improvement Program needs to include information for the years Table 33 was revised to included implementation program items assigned to years 2023 through 2027, covering the full 10-year lifespan of the WRMP.

25 To: Black Dog Watershed Management Organization Commissioners From: Karen Chandler and Greg Williams Subject: Black Dog WMO Review of the revised City of Burnsville Water Resources Management Plan Date: September 11, 2017 Page: 2 2. The Plan needs to include funding sources for the capital improvement program projects. Revised text in Section 7.0 notes that the City s stormwater utility is the primary funding source for all items in the City s implementation program. BDWMO Comments and Required Revisions 1. Update the WRMP implementation table (Table 33) to include implementation actions extending through the entire time period. Alternatively, the City could add text to the WRMP introduction and implementation sections noting that the implementation table (Table 33) is intended to cover a 5 year period and will be updated at least every 5 years as part of a scheduled plan amendment subject to WMO review. Table 33 was revised to included implementation program items assigned to years 2023 through 2027, covering the full 10-year lifespan of the WRMP. 2. The WRMP implementation table (Table 33) should contain proposed funding sources for each project. Additional, optional information could be included in the table, such as cooperating partners and the source of the project (e.g., TMDL study). Revised text in Section 7.0 notes that the City s stormwater utility is the primary funding source for all items in the City s implementation program. BDWMO Suggested Minor Revisions (additional detail provided in attached table) 3. Consider identifying the BDWMO strategic waterbodies in a table, bulleted list, or in the narrative description of each waterbody in section The narrative description of each waterbody in section identifies whether the waterbody is a BDWMO strategic waterbody. 4. Consider adding text to Appendix C referencing low impact development in relation to the City code and performance standards. Additional text to this effect has been added to Appendix C. 5. The BDWMO recommends strengthening of Policy 10.3 to state that the City will update the BDWMO regarding management actions and projects performed on BDWMO strategic waterbodies or MDNR public waters within the BDWMO. Policy 10.3 has been revised to say shall instead of may. 6. Consider adding text or a policy noting the BDWMO s authority to review City regulatory documents that affect resources under BDWMO jurisdiction. Text to this effect is included in Section Consider adding a policy or additional text to Appendix C Development Standards noting that the City may restrict stormwater discharge rates when the capacity of the downstream system is limited. The WRMP was not revised to address this suggestion P:\Mpls\23 MN\19\ \WorkFiles\Local Plans\2017 Burnsville Plan Review\BDWMO_review_memo_Sept 2017.docx

26 To: Black Dog Watershed Management Organization Commissioners From: Karen Chandler and Greg Williams Subject: Black Dog WMO Review of the revised City of Burnsville Water Resources Management Plan Date: September 11, 2017 Page: 3 8. The BDWMO recommends the City consider noting/emphasizing the cooperative relationship between the City of Burnsville and other cities in managing their intercommunity waterbodies (e.g., Keller Lake, Lac Lavon). Cooperative efforts on TMDL implementation are now noted in section The BDWMO recommends the City consider revising policy 1.10 to address cooperative City- WMO water quality improvement projects more generally, possibly including TMDL load reduction projects as an example. Policy 1.10 has been revised to apply to a broader range of activities. P:\Mpls\23 MN\19\ \WorkFiles\Local Plans\2017 Burnsville Plan Review\BDWMO_review_memo_Sept 2017.docx
