Updated Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) <br />City of Ramsey, Minnesota <br />designed to maintain the current hydrology and maintain or improve the current <br />functions and values of the wetland. <br />D. Amendments and Updates <br />This report is intended for the coverage period to 2022. It should be considered as a <br />working document that should be updated and amended in accordance with the <br />procedures described in Section IX. Amendment will be needed as development <br />progresses and actual new development data is integrated into the overall model. <br />The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has not completed total maximum <br />daily load (TMDL) studies for the impaired waters within the city boundaries of Ramsey <br />(see Table 15 for the list), and is still completing the TMDL study of Lake Pepin <br />(downstream from Ramsey). The Lake Pepin TMDL may have a major impact on all <br />NPDES permittees in the metro area. The City of Ramsey is aware of the potential need <br />to amend the local water management plan prior to 2022 based on the implications and <br />requirements of the Lake Pepin TMDL and the TMDLs for the impaired waters within <br />the city. <br />The City has updated the SWPPP in accordance with the reissuance of the MS4 permit in <br />2013. <br />Section II <br />March 20, 2015 Page 7 <br />
