<br />v ~ <br /> <br />Erosion and Sedimentation <br /> <br />B. The organization shall specify controls or programs to reduce erosion and <br />sedimentation to receiving waters. In rural areas, agricultural crop land erosion may be <br />controlled by implementing zoning ordinances consistent with part 6120.3300, subpart <br />7, and may include other water resources outside of designated shoreland areas as <br />considered appropriate by the organization. Organizations affected by specific state <br />laws requiring adoption of uniform county wide erosion and sediment control standards <br />or programs must comply with those laws. Any other organization must either adopt by <br />reference an existing set of erosion and sediment control guidelines or best management <br />practices published by a county, a soil and water conservation district, the board, or the <br />Pollution Control Agency, or establish comparable erosion and sedimentation guidelines <br />of its own for the purpose ofadministering erosion controls. <br /> <br />C. Each plan must specify controls that require all appropriate building permits, driveway <br />permits, and grading permits to contain enforceable provisions to protect soil from <br />erosion during and after construction, including sites for which approved erosion <br />control plans are in place. <br /> <br />For erosion and sedimentation the following criteria will apply: <br /> <br />A. Protecting Water Quality in Urban Areas by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Minnesota <br />Stormwater Manual, January 2008 by the MPCA, and Storm Water Managementfor <br />Construction Activities: Developing Pollution Prevention Plans and Best Management Practices <br />by the EP A will be the guide for all erosion control measures reviewed by the WMO. <br /> <br />B. The WMO will not impose additional restrictions on projects permitted by the MPCA Storm <br />Water Permit Program for Construction Activities over and above the WMO's normal permitting <br />process. <br /> <br />C. Projects which remove or cover more than I acre of surface vegetation or that the member city <br />determines could reasonably be expected to introduce sediment, and are not covered by the <br />MPCA permit will require a sediment and erosion control plan. <br /> <br />Since each city in the WMO has various levels of development, staff, building permits, etc., a <br />standard set of controls will not be established by the WMO. Each city should incorporate in their <br />local plans controls they will use to enforce erosion and sedimentation control in their community. <br />As a minimum, as outlined in their respective local plans, each member City will: <br /> <br />· Adopt the guideline described in Item A as the method for evaluation of plans. <br /> <br />· Adopt an erosion and sediment ordinance or policy. <br /> <br />· Outline how the City will enforce the plans, i.e., hold escrow funds, deny occupancy, etc. <br /> <br />Water Management Plan <br />P:IMpIsI23 MNI02123020471WorkFilesl3rd Gen WMPILRRWMO_3rd Gen WMP_July 2009_Draft.doc <br /> <br />76 <br />
