A Capital Improvement Program, or CIP, already exists and is updated on annually for a projected 5-year period. The CIP includes projects to implement the recommendations in this SWMP. E. Enforcement This SWMP must identify the procedure to be followed to enforce violations of the controls of the organization as well as those of the local unit of government. The City uses a permitting process with a surety requirement for new developments. If the developer fails to follow the conditions of the permit, the City can call on the surety to ensure immediate rectification. The surety must be in the form of a Letter of Credit or Cash Escrow. The City has adopted the following ordinances: 1. Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinance 2. Illicit Discharge Ordinance 3. Post Construction Storm Water Management Ordinance. Each of these ordinances will be enforceable locally and will carry fines for failure to adhere to them. In addition, the MPCA can impose significant fines for pollution discharges associated with these ordinance controls as well as any unauthorized pollution discharge. The City will amend its ordinance to include the enforcement of storm water ordinances as part of City Code Chapter 2, Article VII entitled Administrative Enforcement of Ordinance Violations. The City will have to adopt an ordinance to establish the rates and charges associated with administrative fines for storm water ordinance violations. F. Administration Process This SWMP must specify the administrative process and timelines for the submittal, review, and approval of local plans and variances by the organization. Requirement 1: Solution 1: Requirement 2: All communities need to include information on the types of best management practices to be used to improve storm water quality and quantity and the maintenance schedule for the best management practices (BMPs). The City's SWPPP, available on the City website, includes the mandatory list of BMPs together with an implementation timeline. All of the BMPs in the SWPPP and designed to improve storm water quality. The City's current development ordinances are designed to regulate storm water quantity in accordance with the LRRWMO requirements. Within a year after the acceptance of this plan, the City will review its ordinances controlling development to include the recommendations of this SWMP, chiefly the recommended runoff volume controls. All communities need to include a Wetland Management Plan or a process and timeline to prepare a plan. The Wetland Management Plan should incorporate a function and value assessment for wetlands.
