Updated Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) <br />City of Ramsey, Minnesota <br />The recommended ordinance revisions are designed to: <br />1. Encourage infiltration and soil ripping of newly graded sites so that developed <br />sites can adequately mimic unimproved site runoff and flow rates. <br />2. Limit post development runoff rates to the existing condition so that multiple <br />developments do not cause cumulative increases in the downstream condition. <br />In addition, regional pond modifications are also recommended where plausible because <br />of the economic and runoff management capabilities of larger scale hydrologic systems. <br />By implementing the recommendations in the SWMP, these potential future problems are <br />being anticipated and adequately addressed within the City of Ramsey. As stated earlier, <br />the City must rely on the regulatory authority of Anoka County, the LRRWMO and the <br />regional, state, and federal agencies to monitor and control the runoff entering the city <br />from outside its jurisdiction. The City understands that it will also need to address issues <br />brought to the attention by these outside regulating authorities. <br />Section VI <br />March 20, 2015 Page 51 <br />
