practices as allowed by LRRWMO stormwater standards, or off -site in a regional infiltration basin located
<br />outside the East DWSMA.
<br />City staff discussed various aspects of this project with LRRWMO and MPCA staff, including potential wetland
<br />impacts, options for meeting volume retention requirements, and how the timing of this project could be
<br />coordinated with the Lightbridge Academy development construction to ensure adequate stormwater runoff
<br />treatment can be provided during construction of both projects.
<br />Staff coordinated the construction schedule of the City's stormwater pond improvements project with the
<br />Lightbridge Academy development construction schedule to address concerns raised by the LRRWMO.
<br />Lightbridge Academy's engineer prepared and submitted a phased construction plan with their LRRWMO permit
<br />application, which was approved. Lightbridge Academy will construct their building first, along with two
<br />temporary stormwater retention ponds to manage stormwater runoff, thereby minimizing disturbance to the site
<br />while the Rivers Bend Regional Stormwater Improvements project is under construction. Lightbridge Academy
<br />will then complete their site improvements, including impervious surface improvements, during the final
<br />construction phases of the Rivers Bend Regional Stormwater Improvements late this Fall or next Spring. As of
<br />the time this report was prepared, Lightbridge Academy had not yet started construction.
<br />Bolton & Menk performed a wetland delineation to identify the existing wetland boundary and type for the
<br />wetland in River's Bend Park that currently receives stormwater runoff from the 38-acre catchment. The
<br />LRRWMO reviewed the wetland delineation report and issued permit #24-21 on August 15, 2024, approving the
<br />revised wetland boundary and type. A copy of the approval letter and approved permit is attached
<br />On August 12, 2024, the plans and specifications prepared by Bolton & Menk, Inc. were approved and
