<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 resourc,es outside of designated shore land 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 m.ust comply with .those laws. Any other organization must either adopt by <br />reference an existing set of erosion and sediment controlguidelines 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 of administering erosion controls. <br /> <br />C;.Eachplanmust specify controls that requireall appropriate building permits'idf'iyeway <br />permits,andgrading permits to . contain enforceableprovisionstoprotectsoilfrom <br />erosion during and after construction, including sitesfor 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 1 acre of surface vegetation or that the member city <br />deterinines 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:\Mpls\23 MN\02\2302047\WorkFiles\3rd Gen WMP\LRRWMO_3rd Gen WMP_July 2009_0raft.doc <br /> <br />76 <br />
