utilizing filtration practices as allowed by LRRWMO stormwater standards, or off -site in a regional infiltration
<br />basin located outside the East DWSMA.
<br />City staff has discussed various aspects of this project with LRRWMO and MPCA staff, including potential
<br />wetland impacts, options for meeting volume retention requirements, and how the timing of this project can 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 has 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
<br />permit application, which has been approved. Lightbridge Academy is constructing their building first with
<br />minimal disturbance to the rest of the site while the Rivers Bend Regional Stormwater Improvements project is
<br />designed and bid. Lightbridge Academy would then complete site improvements including impervious surface
<br />improvements during construction of the Rivers Bend Regional Stormwater Management Improvements this
<br />Fall.
<br />Bolton & Menk also performed a wetland delineation to identify the limits of the existing wetland to avoid
<br />impacts. This report was completed and is submitted to the LRRWMO for concurrence and approval, which is
<br />currently scheduled to occur on September 19, 2024, along with approval of the LRRWMO erosion
<br />control/stormwater permit.
<br />On August 12, 2024, the plans and specifications prepared by Bolton & Menk, Inc. were approved and
<br />advertisements for bids were authorized for City Improvement Project #25-01, Rivers Bend Regional
<br />Stormwater Improvements.
