plan development, annual reporting). High priority activities also include those that address <br />level 1 priority issues of stormwater management and water quality (see Table 3-1). <br />Medium Priority — medium priority activities include those that are not required by statute or <br />rule and are not essential to addressing level 1 resource issues (see Table 3-1). Examples include <br />non -water quality monitoring activities and coordination of a citizen advisory committee. <br />This classification system is qualitative and intended to serve as a guide for annual work planning and <br />budgeting. Activities in the annual work plan may be accelerated, delayed, delegated, or abandoned <br />relative to the 10-year implementation plan. For example, activities led by partners may be implemented <br />earlier or later than planned due to changing partner priorities, funding, and schedules. Factors <br />considered in the development of the annual work plan may include the following: <br />• Annual budget commitments from previous years (i.e., ongoing responsibilities) <br />• Available revenues, grants, and cost -share funding (e.g., from cities or agencies) <br />• Activity priority <br />• Feasibility <br />• Risk (of performing or not performing the activity) <br />• Results of monitoring or studies <br />• Input from member cities, CAC, and other partners <br />• Consideration of balance with other proposed projects and programs <br />The implementation plan (Table 5-1) is a statement of intent by the LRRWMO. Final decisions on <br />implementation activities rest with the Board of Managers to budget for and authorize via the annual <br />work plan. During implementation, additional activities may be added to Table 5-1 via a Plan amendment <br />(see Section 5.6). <br />The programs and projects identified in Table 5-1 are also targeted, where applicable, to specific <br />geographies, resources, and audiences within the watershed. Water quality monitoring and management <br />activities are targeted to the following LRRWMO priority waters: <br />• Rum River <br />• Grass (Sunfish) Lake <br />• Rogers Lake <br />• Round Lake <br />The LRRWMO plans to perform subwatershed analyses early in Plan implementation to estimate pollutant <br />loading throughout the watershed (see Table 5-1). Spatial estimates of pollutant loading may be used to <br />prioritize and target future water quality improvement projects. <br />5-2 <br />
