operate after 10:00 p.m. This minimizes evaporation and lessens peak demand on the system. In addition to the residential sprinkling ban, the City is in the process of implementing an irrigation policy that is specific to townhouse, multifamily residential and commercial connections to the municipal water supply that requires that: • All irrigation systems must install an approved backflow device • All irrigation systems must include a Rain Sensor device to prevent irrigation systems from operating during rain events. The City will shortly be updating its water supply plan. At this time, the current DNR guidelines for plan content will be incorporated. The plan will address new well, storage and treatment plant requirements, as well as the role of conservation in the provision of water. The revised water supply plan should be completed during the beginning phase of RTC construction, and will be applied to the new development. Comment 7.6: On page 14-1, paragraph 2, sentences 1 and 3, for accuracy, we suggest the following changes: "...contains the City's DNR-conditionally approved Mississippi River Critical Area Corridor/MNRRA plan." "...required elements, which the City has met and exceeded in some respects..." Response: The document has been changed to reflect the comment. Comment 7.7: On page 14-2, paragraph 1, next to the last sentence, the citation should be corrected to "...within Chapter 6105..." Response: The document has been changed to reflect the comment. Comment 7.8: We suggest the following change on page 14-2, paragraph 3, last sentence: "...Critical Area Plan has been conditionally approved b y the DNR as part of the City's LCP." Response: The document has been changed to reflect the comment. Comment 7.9: The summary of the environmental impacts on page 14-2 should acknowledge that there will be a stormwater outfall to the Mississippi River within the Corridor in one location or another because of the RTC site. Response: The document has been changed to reflect the comment. Comment 7.10: Regarding the asterisked paragraph on page 14-4, Executive Order C.1.a(8) requires preparation of criteria for control of noise, and does not specifically state that it is required for plans. This is a standard that we would look for consistency through city-wide or Corridor ordinances, not plans. Because local units of government shall permit development only in accordance with adopted plan and regulations and the DNR approval, the list of Executive Order standards submitted by DNR include those that must be assured by implementation of the Plan and regulations.
