<br />CASE # 1 <br /> <br />Lower Rum River Water Management Organization <br />3rd Generation Water Management Plan <br />By: Chris Anderson, Environmental Coordinator <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The Lower Rum River Water Management Organization (LRRWMO) is responsible for the <br />surface water resources within the Rum River Watershed south of the City's northern limits and <br />includes all of Ramsey and the City of Anoka and portions of Coon Rapids and Andover (see <br />Exhibit 1). Every ten years, Water Management Organizations are required to review their <br />watershed plans and update their goals for the next ten years. The LRRWMO is currently in the <br />process of updating its plan and is seeking public input on issues of concern within the watershed <br />by way of a survey. <br /> <br />At the October EPB meeting, a draft survey was distributed to the Board. At that time, there was <br />some general discussion regarding the survey itself as well as responses to the questionnaire. <br />The LRRWMO has made some edits to the survey and has decided to offer the survey <br />electronically. This hopefully will result in increased responses while also streamlining the <br />assimilation and tracking of responses. <br /> <br />The Board determined that a joint response to the survey would be appropriate and directed Staff <br />to include this topic for discussion at the November meeting. A copy of the survey is included. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />Board members should be prepared to provide a joint response to the survey questions to be <br />submitted to the LRRWMO. <br /> <br />EPB Action <br /> <br />Based on discussion. <br /> <br />EPB: 11/3/08 <br />
