t Metropolitan Council <br />Thermal pollution <br />strategies <br />Wetland <br />management plan <br />Water quality goals <br />and protection <br />• Control runoff rates so that land- altering activities, such as <br />construction or road building projects, do not result in an <br />increase in peak storm water flow. <br />• Adopt criteria such as those of the Nationwide Urban Runoff <br />Program (NURP) criteria for wet detention basins to protect <br />and improve stormwater runoff quality. <br />• Promote a stormwater plan that increases infiltration and <br />decreases impervious areas <br />• Identify and adopt management practices such as those <br />described in the Metropolitan Council's Urban Small Sites Best <br />Management Practice Manual to reduce storm water runoff. <br />• Incorporate requirements for presettlement to precede <br />stormwater discharge into lakes and streams. <br />• Identify and adopt methods for minimizing the effects of <br />temperature, especially in vulnerable environments such as <br />trout streams and fens. <br />Local Planning Handbook 1 Section 5 Water Resources Management <br />• Adopt a wetland management plan that incorporates a function <br />and value assessment for wetlands consistent with the wetland <br />policies of the WMOs. <br />• Establish measurable water quality goals for each body of <br />water identified in the municipality's local water management <br />and land use plans. Include information on how surface water <br />protection will also protect groundwater. <br />http://www.metrocouncil.org/plan <br />ninq /environment/WRM PP /WRM <br />PPMay2005 Appendices2.pdf#p <br />ape =17 <br />http://www.metrocouncil.orq/plan <br />ninq /LPH /resourcelinks. pdf <br />http://www.metrocouncil.orq/envi <br />ronment/Watershed /BM P /manua <br />I . htm <br />April 2008 5 -16 <br />
