ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY COMMITTEE
AGENDA REPORT
DATE: August 3, 2018 for the EQC Meeting of August 15, 2018
TO: Environmental Quality Committee (EQC)
FROM: Derek Asche, Water Resources Manager
SUBJECT: Surface Water Management Plan Update
ACTION REQUESTED: To review and comment on the DRAFT 2019-2028 Surface Water
Management Plan.
BACKGROUND: Federal and state law, including the federal Clean Water Act (1972) and its
subsequent updates, as well as the Metropolitan Surface Water Management Act (1982) set the
foundation for surface water and non -point source pollution treatment.
As Plymouth continues to grow, develop, and redevelop, urbanization will continue to impact the
quality of ponds, wetlands, streams and lakes. Staff is in the process of revising the City's 2008
Surface Water Management Plan to comply with the rules and requirements of the 3' Generation
Plans (Minnesota Statute 103B.235) of each watershed management organization (WMO) within
the City (Bassett, Elm, Minnehaha, Shingle) and the Board of Soil and Water Resources
(Minnesota Rule 8410). The Metropolitan Council also has a role in water resources management
at the local level. Current Metropolitan Council goals and policies pertaining to water management
are addressed in its 2040 Water Resources Management Policy Plan. This plan includes a
significant water quality goal — that the quality of water leaving the metropolitan area be as good
as the quality of water entering the area, and be in compliance with state and federal regulations.
The City of Plymouth's strategy for improving water quality focuses on pollution prevention first
and storm water treatment second. The plan goes beyond reacting to problems after they occur by
implementing proactive programs and policies to protect surface water. The City annually assesses
the condition of water resources and develops strategies for achieving realistic, attainable,
implementable and affordable goals. This plan utilizes enviromnental and water resource
inventories, monitoring data, citizen input, ordinances and other available information to work
towards achieving the goals. The plan is the framework for implementation of best management
practices (BMPs), programs and policies to manage surface water and to meet goals established
for water resources in the future.
Over the next 10 years, the City anticipates a transition from a majority of development projects
to a majority of redevelopment projects. The Plan focus will continue to be on problems associated
with increased runoff volumes, sedimentation and storm water discharge into city lakes and
wetlands.
