These plans shall conform to the general criteria set <br />outlined in the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency "Protecting <br />Water Quality in Urban Areas," Municipal Ordinances, and the <br />E Construction eneral er it. <br />III 111IIIII III <br />1111,111111111,111 <br />11111111111111 oII <br />Developers <br />Cities <br />111111111111 <br />III iiiiiiii ui <br />LRRWMO <br />13 <br />Member cities shall continue managing erosion and sediment <br />control permitting programs and ordinances as required by their <br />NPDES MS4 permit and the P PES Construction Stor water <br />eneral Per it. These programs must address: <br />• Permitting and inspection of erosion controls <br />• Erosion and sediment control at individual building sites <br />• Requirements and procedures for reviewing, approving, and <br />enforcing erosion control plans <br />Developers <br />Cities <br />14 <br />The LRRWMO requires that member cities maintain floodplain <br />ordinances that are consistent with the LRRWMO Stormwater <br />Standards (see Appendix E), including minimum building elevations <br />(including basements) at least 2 feet above the 100-year floodplain <br />elevation. <br />Developers <br />Residents <br />Cities <br />15 <br />The LRRWMO requires compensatory storage for impacts to <br />floodplain storage (i.e., no net loss in floodplain storage) and <br />prohibits filling/encroachment of FEMA-delineated floodways. <br />Developers <br />Residents <br />Cities <br />16 <br />The LRRWMO allows only land uses in the LRRWMO-established or <br />FEMA-delineated floodplain that will not be damaged by <br />floodwaters and will not increase flooding. Allowable types of land <br />use that are consistent with the floodplain include recreation areas, <br />parking lots, temporary excavation and storage areas, public utility <br />lines, agriculture, and other open spaces. <br />Developers <br />Residents <br />Cities <br />17 <br />The LRRWMO requires member cities to maintain ordinances that <br />are consistent with Minnesota Rules, Chapter 6120.5000 and <br />LRRWMO performance standards included in the LRRWMO Rules. <br />Member cities must submit updates to floodplain ordinances to <br />the LRRWMO for review. <br />Developers <br />Residents <br />Cities <br />The operations strategy refers to administrative and organizational roles of the LRRWMO and its member <br />cities.
