Comprehensive Wetland Mgmt PlanCITY OF ROSEMOUNT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR DISCUSSION CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION: March 9, 2005 AGENDA ITEM- Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan AGENDA SECTION: Discussion u Slay✓ PREPARED BY: Andrew J Brotzler, P E City Engineer# AGENDA NO. Chad Donnelly, Water Resource Engineer 2 ATTACHMENTS: Draft Plan, Review Comments and JAPPROVED BY: Responses NOTES: BACKGROUND: The City of Rosemount adopted a Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan (CWMP) in 1998 to establish wetland management strategies and objectives in relation to land development Wetland management plans have become a common tool for use by local governments to help implement regulations designed to meet the needs of the community and the regulations of state agencies The 1998 plan was developed with participation of the Department of Natural Resources, the Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District, the Board of Water and Soil Resources, City staff, and members of the community The information within the document includes wetland functional assessments and classifications, management strategies and policy, and wetland impact and replacement requirements The plan is designed to maximize the benefit that surface waters can provide to the environment and community In response to updated wetland rules and regulations, and on -going land development, City staff initiated the updating of the 1998 Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan With support of City Council, staff began the amendment process in August of 2004 The amendment includes new language and policies that have been developed to address wetland issues affecting land development with respect to the needs and concerns of the community, such as, wetland conservation, conservation of natural areas, and public education The amendment is also for the purpose of recognizing new legislation affecting wetland management In addition, new policy was written to address the protection and preservation issues of the higher quality wetlands through functional assessments and greater replacement requirements The plan also recognizes the efforts of other programs, such as the Wetland Health Evaluation Program, the Greenway Project, and Citizens Assisted Monitoring Program (CAMP) coordinated by the Friends of the Mississippi River, Department of Natural Resources and the Metropolitan Council of Environmental Services for preservation and protection of wetlands and natural areas These programs are explained in detail in the draft plan It was made clear by the City's Board of Water Soil Resources (BWSR) representative that this amendment would be the first of its kind A template was prepared by BWSR that assisted City staff in the process City staff formed a wetland task force consisting of members of the community that would initiate the discussions concerning wetland management and protection A draft plan was prepared by City staff based on the discussions of this group The plan was submitted to BSWR and adjacent local government units for review and comment Comments have been received and addressed accordingly A summary of the comments and staff responses are included with this executive summary. The overall purpose of the Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan is for the City to ensure that natural resources are preserved and protected and to maintain a level of protection that meets the goals of the community A section of the plan has been dedicated to processing of wetland permits when impacts are proposed to local wetlands Other language has been added to address the post construction and public education issues such as buffer zones and wetland monuments that impact the future functionality and quality of wetlands The plan illustrates other programs and efforts utilized to preserve the quality and functionality of local wetlands adopted, although the City does not participate in all at this point in time, SUMMARY: The amended Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan provides the City with greater flexibility to implement wetland regulations The plan was written in recognition of the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) and the City of Rosemount's Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan and shall serve as a supplement to these documents for land development The plan is a collaboration of regulatory policy derived from both state and local jurisdiction for the purpose of protecting and preserving the water resources within the Rosemount community Staff will provide a brief presentation of the amended Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan and will be seeking Council comments and input for incorporation into the final document Following completion of the final document, Staff is intending to bring the final plan forward to City Council at a public hearing on April 5, 2005 for consideration and approval 60- BBoar�d R eso�urceess wwrw IL February 3, 2005 Chad Donnelly, P E Cuv of Rosemount 2875, 145r Street West Rosemount, MN 55068 -4997 Dear Mr Donnelly, The Board of Water and Soil Resources Metro area staff have reviewed the amended Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan (CWMP) for the City of Rosemount We have several suggestions, most of which are wording changes or clarifications We offer the following comments 1 The definition of Impact should be changed to include excavating (as defined on pages 9 and 11) The plan should also clarify that excm ation for stormw ater treatment ponds is considered an impact in all wetland types 2 The top of page 10, the plan requires that functional assessments be performed by City staff or an approved Wetland specialist We seek clarification of "hat constitutes an "approved wetland specialist 3 Concerning wetland delineations (page 10), we recommend adding a statement that all wetland delineations must be done according to the 1987 Corps of Engineers Manual for Delineating Wetlands Based on our experiences elsewhere, it may also be helpful to add specific requirements that all delineation reports include complete data sheets, are done during the growing season, and will be considered incomplete if received at a time of the year not conducive for proper review In addition you could consider a provision that may requite monitoring or additional information for late- season delineations based on lack of hydrology alone 4. The top of page 11 includes the following statement "It is strongly encouraged that wetlands categorized as Manage II or Manage III within this plan are used for wetland mitigation when feasible We recommend clarifying that existing wetlands (including exempt wetlands) are not eligible for mitigation credit, except as otherwise provided in 8420 0541 5 The last sentence of the Replacement for Road Projects section (page 11) seems to suggest new streets associated with land development could be eligible for BWSR mitigation WCA specifically excludes "new roads or roads expanded solely for additional traffic capacity lanes We recommend clarifying this sentence Bernd Brainerd lDalath Fergus Falls Marshall New Uhn Rochester Sant Daml 3217 Bemidji Avenue N 217 S 7th Street 394 S Lake Avenue 413 W Stanton Avenue 1400 E Lion Street 261 Highway 15 S 40 161h Street S E One West Water Street Bemrdp MN 56601 Suite 202 Room 403 Fergus Falls MN 56537 Box 267 New Ulm SIN 56073 Suite A Suite 250 phone 1218) 755 4235 Brainerd NiN 56401 Duluth, MN 55802 phone (218) 736 5445 Marshall, MN 56258 phone k5071 359 6074 Rochester MN 55904 Saint Paul, %IN 55107 fax (218) 755 4201 phone (218) 828 2383 phone (218) 723 4752 fax (218) 736 7215 phone (507) 537 6060 fax (507) 359 6018 phone (507) 285 7458 phone (631) 282 9969 fax (218) 828 6036 fax (218) 723 4794 fax (507) 537 6368 fax (507? 280 2875 fan (651) 284 0000 Web www bwsr state inn us TTy (800) 627 3529 An equal opportunity employer Printed on recycled paper Concerning the Wetland Application Process and Timeline section on pages 11 and 12 This section lists the comment period as "up to 15 or 30 calendar days This should be clarified that 15 days is the minimum comment period We also do not recommend limiting the comment period to less than is required by state rule, since you may find it desirable to have a longer comment period on some complex projects Consider either re- wording or taking out the Hydrology, Soils, and Vegetation paragraphs on page 13 For example, the reference to "two weeks in an average year" for hydrology is inaccurate The second paragraph on this page could clarify that the hydrology, vegetation, and soils criteria needed to be present before the area could be detennmed as wetland "according to the 1987 Corps of Engineers Manual for Delineating Wetlands S.

This is unclear For example, Manage II wetlands are listed for "Sediment treatment Does this mean that runoff must be treated for sediment removal before outlet into Manage II wetlands, or that Manage II wetlands can be used for sediment treatment?

Thank you for the opportunity to review this amended CWMP If you have any questions, please contact meat (651)296 -6057 or the above address We look forward to working with you through the rest of the plan approval process Sincerely, 4 Les T emm Bo rd Conservationist 5 CC Tom Mmgs, BWSR Brian Watson, Dakota SWCD John Jaschke, Dakota County State Review Agencies (via e -mail) To: Honorable Mayor and Council Members MEMO Jamie Verbrugge, City Administrator Andrew Brotzler, City Engineer From: Chad Donnelly, Water Resource Engineer Re: Summary of comments and responses to draft Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan The following is a list of comments received from the Board of Water and Soil Resources in regards to the agency's review of the City of Rosemount's draft Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan Each item is identified by page, or section number, of the draft plan Subsequent to each comment is the response by City staff that addresses the issues of concern The definition of Impact should be changed to include excavating (as defined on pages 9 and 11). The plan should also clarify that excavation for stormwater treatment ponds is considered an impact in all wetland types. The definition of "Impact" will be changed to include "excavation" as a defined impact. Language will be added to Section XI that clarifies the provisions of constructing a stormwater treatment pond within a wetland area 2. The top of page 10, the plan requires that functional assessments be performed by City staff or an approved wetland specialist. We seek clarification of what constitutes an "approved wetland specialist." The "approved wetland specialist" will now be referred to as "a wetland professional who has been trained in wetland functional assessments" City staff is inclusive to this description 3. Concerning wetland delineations (page 10), we recommend adding a statement that all wetland delineations must be done according to the 1987 Corps of Engineers Manual for Delineating Wetlands. Based on our experiences elsewhere, it may also be helpful to add specific requirements that all delineation reports include complete data sheets, are done during the growing season, and will be considered incomplete if received at a time of the year not conducive for proper review. In addition you could consider a provision that may require monitoring or additional information for late- season delineations based on lack of hydrology alone. The suggested language revisions will be added to Section VIII D 3 for Wetland Delineations The section will read as follows "Wetland delineations must be performed in accordance with the 1987 Corps of Engineers Manual for Delineating Wetlands Delineations are to be performed by a wetland professional who has been trained in wetland delineations Wetland delineations must be performed during the growing season, and will be considered incomplete tf received at a time of year not conducive for proper review Definition of "Growing Season" will be based on the growing season as it is defined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual The definition will be added to the definition section of the plan 4. The top of page 11 includes the following statement: "It is strongly encouraged that wetlands categorized as Manage 11 or Manage III within this plan are used for wetland mitigation when feasible." We recommend clarifying that existing wetlands (including exempt wetlands) are not eligible for mitigation credit, except as otherwise provided in 8420.0541. This clarification will be added to Section D.5 for Wetland Replacement 5. The last sentence of the Replacement for Road Projects section (page 11) seems to suggest new streets associated with land development could be eligible for BWSR mitigation. WCA specifically excludes "new roads or roads expanded solely for additional traffic capacity lanes." We recommend clarifying this sentence. The following statement will be removed from Section D 6 "BWSR mitigation is not eligible for new streets associated with land development unless the local government authority determines the additional streets improve or benefit public transportation or resolve an existing public transportation concern At the beginning of Section D 6 it clearly states that new streets built for the purpose of public safety and not for the purpose of resolving traffic issues may be used for BWSR mitigation 6. Concerning the Wetland Application Process and Timeline section on pages 11 and 12: This section lists the comment period as "up to 15 or 30 calendar days." This should be clarified that 15 days is the minimum comment period. We also do not recommend limiting the comment period to less than is required by state rule, since you may find it desirable to have a longer comment period on some complex projects. Clarification will be added to Section VIII. E regarding the "minimum" 15 day comment period The City has elected to apply a 30 day comments period for Wetland Applications This provision will remain the same 7. Consider either re- wording or taking out the Hydrology, Soils, and Vegetation paragraphs on page 13. For example, the reference to "two weeks in an average year" for hydrology is inaccurate. The second paragraph on this page could clarify that the hydrology, vegetation, and soils criteria needed to be present before the area could be determined as wetland "according to the 1987 Corps of Engineers Manual for Delineating Wetlands" The sections for Hydrology, Soils and Vegetation will be removed and referenced in the Wetland/Surface Water Inventory sub section as parameters for wetland identification 8. The last sentence under the Database Information section (page 14) could be changed to indicate that the GIS map shows all of the wetlands in Rosemount that were identified in the inventory process, not necessarily "the entire wetland system." We recommend clarifying that the inventory may not necessarily include all wetlands, and that the GIS map does not constitute wetland delineation. Suggested language revisions will be made to the Database Information sub section 9. The last sentence of the Wetland Committee paragraph could be changed to read that the committee "will exist to oversee implementation and develop policy recommendations concerning the CWMP..." or something similar to be clear that the City is the LGU. Suggested language revisions will be made to the Wetland Committee sub section 10. Under Wetland Classification (page 16), Both Manage I and Manage II wetlands are defined as having a functional score between 280 and 420. It appears the scoring system needs to be revisited for all management categories. This could be done by looking for natural breaks in the functional assessment scoring results, or by applying some type of value criteria. The following language will be added to Section XI "At the time of the initial wetland inventory, a number of wetlands were identified as special value wetlands based on the assessment information conducted in the f eld Assessment specific criteria included floral diversity and integrity, water quality protection, fish and wild life habitat, flood /stormwater attenuation, recreation and education, groundwater recharge and discharge, and shoreline protection Wetlands whose assessment was high in any one, or a multiple, of these categories were classified as Manage I 11. We recommend requiring installation of buffer monuments in redevelopments as well as new developments (page 20). Recommendation is noted 12. Under Wetland Replacement (page 21), mitigation for Manage III wetlands is at a 2:1 ratio "or as determined by the water resource engineer." The intent of this statement is unclear. In order to maintain the overall 2 :1 replacement ratio (with minimum 1:1 NWC) required by WCA, we recommend removing or clarifying this statement. The language "or as determined by the engineer" will be removed from Section XII Wetland Replacement 13. The CWMP includes a map of the DNR Greenway Project. If feasible, wetlands within this area could receive a higher ranking based on their value to the greenway, and buffer widths compatible with wildlife habitat requirements could be required. Comments noted 14. Table 1 includes a column on Stormwater Treatment. This is unclear. For example, Manage II wetlands are listed for "Sediment treatment" Does this mean that runoff must be treated for sediment removal before outlet into Manage II wetlands, or that Manage II wetlands can be used for sediment treatment? Likewise, "Some sediment pretreatment" is listed for Manage III wetlands. Is there information available for applicants as to how much "some" is? The stormwater treatment criteria will be revised to include specific language that addresses stormwater treatment for influent stormwater only Stormwater treatment provisions will be clarified to refer only to the stormwater flowing into or being discharged to the subject wetland 15. Section 10 -1 -5 -2 of the Ordinance adopts the CWMP by reference and requires that all stormwater management plans" be consistent with it. This should be changed to wording that includes all wetland related applications. Suggested changes will be made to this section of the plan 16. Section 10 -1 -6-5 of the Ordinance is a provision for waiver by the City Council. This section should be eliminated as it pertains to the CWMP. Section 10 -1 -6 -5 will be removed from the ordinance 17. Section 10 -1 -12 of the Ordinance pertains to wetlands. This section should be much more detailed as to the requirements discussed in the CWMP. For replacement, buffer, sequencing and other specific requirements in the plan (especially those different than WCA), the Ordinance needs to be more descriptive than "as specified in" or "prescribed by." The Ordinance is where the specific requirements outlined in the plan are laid out and adopted as the official controls of the LGU. The "Wetlands" section of the ordinance will be changed in the recommended manner The Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan itself is adopted by reference, Sec 10 -1- 5-2, of the Surface Water Management Ordinance 18. Section 10- 1 -12 -1 of the Ordinance states that "Every applicant for a subdivision approval or a grading permit who proposes wetland disturbing activities must..." Does this exclude those disturbing wetlands not as part of a subdivision approN al or grading permit? Also, what is meant by "wetland disturbing activities Should this be changed to those proposing to "impact' a wetland? The following language change has been made to Section 10- 1 -12 -1, "A project proposer whose improvements impact a wetland must "Wetland Disturbing Activities" was removed for clarification purposes. 4ROSEMOUNT mac PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT MEMO Date: March 7, 2005 To: Andy Brotzler, City Engineer From: Chad Donnelly, Water Resources Engineer Re: MPCA Comments, Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan On March 7, 2005, Staff in the Engineering Department received a correspondence from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) regarding the City's Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan The correspondence is an itemized list of comments and concerns that the MPCA would like City staff to address Areas of concern are non degradation of "waters of the state" and the implications of the NPDES permit with respect to the provisions of the CWMP The list does not contain any major conflict or issue that would require further attention or delay of the formal adoption process Staff plans to incorporate language into the appropriate sections of the plan that address the issues Attached with this memo is the correspondence provided by the MPCA SPIRIT OF PRIDE AND PROGRESS 2875 145th Street West Rosemount, MN 55068 -4997 651- 423 -4411 TDD/TTY 651- 423 -6219 Fax 651- 322 -2694 www ci rosemount mn us Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Mr Office of the Commissioner February 28, 2005 Mr Chad Donnelly, P E. City of Rosemount 2875-145 th Street West Rosemount, MN 55068 -4997 RE Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan City of Rosemount, Minnesota Dear Mr Donnelly. Thank you for the opportunity to review the city of Rosemount's (City) Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan (CWMP) for water quality issues regarding stormwater and wetland concerns Specifically we appreciate the opportunity to offer comments on areas where components of this CWMP may not conform with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) Minn R 7050, regarding water quality standards We recommend that for the purposes and tasks of inventorying wetlands that are tributary to 303(d) listed Impaired Waters, it may be helpful to view the 303(d) Impaired Waters List and maps found at MPCA's Minnesota's Impaired Waters and Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) Web page located at. http /www pea state inn us /water /tmdl /index html The definitions and references Part V of the CWMP defines Best Management Practices (BMPs) as state approved and published practices, however, no reference is grven to the publication of these BMPs We recommend the CWMP refer to the publication of these BMPs in the handbook, Protecting Water Quality In Urban Areas March 1, 2000, by the MPCA In Part V Definitions and references, growing season is defined as. Part of the year when crops and native plants germinate The average temperature is above the temperature at which crops and native plants will germinate and continue to grow. However, the definition for growing season that is given in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual (1987 Cis Manual) is The portion of the year when soil temperature at 19 7 inches below the soil surface are higher than biologic zero (5 degree C) (U S Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service 1985) For ease of determination this period can be approximated by the number of frost free days (U S Department of the interior 1970) The 1987 Corps Manual goes on to note that estimating starting and ending dates for the growing season are based on 28 degrees F air temperature threshold at a frequency of five (5) years in 10(HQUSACE, 6 March 92) 520 Lafayette Rd N St Paul, MN 55155 -4194, (651) 296 -6300 (Voice), (651) 292 -5332 (TTY) St Paul Brainerd Detroit Lakes Duluth Mankato Marshall Rochester Willmar, www pca state mn us Equal Opportunity Employer Printed on recycled paper containing at least 20% fibers from paper recycled by consumers Mr Chad Donnelly, P E Page 2 February 28, 2005 These definitions for growing season in the plan differ from the 1987 Corps Manual It is not clear why the CWMP developed a specific definition of growing season The Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) (8420 0110, subp 52 D) and the CWMP under the stated wetland definition in Part V, along with all other state and federal agencies, have agreed to use the 1987 Corps Manual for wetland delineation Therefore, the development of a unique and different definition that could have a significant impact upon the determination of adequate hydrology for wetland delineation may cause confusion and discrepancies in the common method for delineation of wetlands Unless there are arguable reasons to maintain a unique definition of growing season for the City we recommend the definition match the 1987 Corps Manual In Part ZX Technical Elements, Hydrology the plan identifies Hydrology as. The area has to have water within 12 inches of the surface or be inundated (covered with water) for at least two (2) weeks in an average year The water could be present at the time of inspection or the evidence of water, such as water marks, could well be used However, the definition for Hydrology given in the 1987 Corps Manual is Hydrology must occur with in the major portion of the root zone (usually with in 12 inches of the surface) and are inundated or saturated to the surface continuously for at least 5 percent of the growing season in most years (50 percent probability of recurrence) These definitions differ It is not clear why the CWMP document developed a definition of hydrology The WCA (8420 0110 sub 52 D) and the CWMP under the Wetland definition in Part V, along with all other state and federal agencies, have agreed to use the 1987 Corps Manual for wetland delineation Therefore, the development of a unique and different definition that could have a significant impact upon the determination of adequate hydrology for wetland delineation may cause confusion and discrepancies in the common method for delineation of wetlands_ Unless there are arguable reasons to maintain a unique definition of hydrology for the City, we recommend the definition match the 1987 Corps Manual In Part XI Management, Wetland Buffers, the CWMP describes the requirements for conservation easements, covenants, recorded deed restriction or other permanent restrictions that have been used in many communities to prohibit lot owners from altering the buffer zone on these lots However, experience has been that Citywide enforcement of the buffer restriction on each of the individual private lot owners can be burdensome and difficult if lot owners desire to mow these areas to expand their back yard We recommend the City consider requiring the wetland boundary and the appropriate buffer be designated public property under the public ownership /management to assure the maintenance of the buffer and to avoid the difficulties of enforcing these restrictions on individual private lot owners in the future Mr Chad Donnelly, P E Page 4 February 28, 2005 A REQUIREMENTS FOR DISCHARGING TO WETLANDS If the project has any stormwater discharges with the potential for significant adverse impacts to a wetland (e g conversion of a natural wetland to a storm water pond), the Pennittee(s) must demonstrate that the wetland mitigative sequence has been followed in accordance with D 1 or D 2 of tlus appendix If the potential adverse impacts to a wetland on a specific project site have been addressed by permits or other approvals from an official statewide program (U S Army Corps of Engineers 404 program, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, or the State of Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act) that are issued specifically for the project and project site, the Permittee may use the permit or other determination issued by these agencies to show that the potential adverse impacts have been addressed For the purposes of this permit, demmimus actions are determinations by the permitting agency that address the pr4ject impacts, whereas a non jurisdictional determination does not address project impacts If there are impacts from the project that are not addressed in one of the permits or other determinations discussed in Appendix A, Part D 1 (e g permanent inundation or flooding of the wetland, significant degradation of water quality, excavation, filling, draining), the Permittee must minimize all adverse impacts to wetlands by utilizing appropriate measures Measures used must be based on the nature of the wetland, its vegetative community types and the established hydrology These measures include in order of preference a Avoid all significant adverse impacts to wetlands from the project and post project discharge b Minimize any unavoidable impacts from the project and post project discharge c Provide compensatory mitigation when the Permittee determines that there is no reasonable and practicable alternative to having a significant adverse impact on a wetland For compensatory mitigation, wetland restoration or creation shall be of the same type, size and whenever reasonable and practicable in the same watershed as the impacted wetland We would recommend the CWMP identify or seek to identify any previously drained or degraded wetlands in the plan area that would be appropriate for targeting future restoration either as part of any wetland restoration, opportunities or the target for compensatory mitigation If we maybe of further assistance, please contact Lawrence Zdon, of our staff at (651) 297 -8219 or toll free at (800) 657 -3864 Sincerely, Lisa J Thorvig Assistant Commissioner LJT smd ink Mr Chad Donnelly, P E Page 3 February 28, 2005 In Part XV Other programs, Table 1 identifies the stormwater treatment required for the different Management Classes, The Preserve class requires upstream sediment and nutrient treatment and maintaining existing hydrology while the Manage I, II and III classes require gradients of less treatment for Management Classes I, II, and III This table specification for gradients of lesser treatment for stormwater may not be sufficient to meet the treatment requirements of the MPCA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System NPDES) Stormwater Permit The basic requirement, where the NPDES Permit is applicable, is that the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (S WPPP) must provide treatment for the runoff from the new impervious surfaces to be treated by wet sedimentation basins, infiltration/filtration systems, regional ponds, a combination of these practices, or by approved alternative methods described in the permit (see the NPDES Stormwater Permit, specifically Part III C for details, copy available http /www pea state nin us /publications /wg- stmi2 -51 doc The CWMP allows for lesser treatment prescribed in the table for discharge to w ctlands in Manage I, II, and III classes that may not be sufficient to meet these requirements of Part III C of the NPDES Permit We recommend that the CWMP's immmum requirements for stormwater treatment in the Table I reflect the NPDES requirements necessary for all wetlands that are considered waters of the state by Minn Stat 115 01, subd 22, as follows Waters of the state "Waters of the state" means all streams, lakes, ponds, marshes, watercourses, waterways, wells, springs, reservoirs, aquifers, irrigation systems, drainage systems and all other bodies or accumulations of water, surface or underground, natural or artificial public or private, which are contained within, flow through, or border upon the state or any portion thereof By this definition all wetlands, of any management classes defined by local plans, are protected by water quality standards under the NPDES Permit In addition to the above, we recommend the CWMP require an ev aluation to determine if the new generated hydraulic bounce created in a wetland receiving the discharge of treated stormwater may adversely impact the particular wetland Refer to Figure N -6 of the publication Storm -Water and Wetlands Planning and Evaluation Guidelines for Addressing Potential Impacts of Urban Storm -Water and Snow -Melt Runoff on Wetlands (June 1997)(see online copy at http /iwww pea state mn uspublications /reports /wq- strml -07 ridf Part ev: Wetlands This part states that when non -ag cult: ral surface water bodies are initially formed they will come into the CWMP as part of the utilize category; however, a utilize category is not defined or explained We recommend the utilize category be explained This part also states that wet areas created by human activity not intended to produce a pond or wetland shall not become part of this CWMP This appears to reflect the incidental wetland exemption m WCA It should be noted in the plan, however, that even if an "incidental" wetland is exempted or is non Jurisdictional under the WCA Program or under the Corps 404 Program, if that wetland is considered waters of the state under Minn Stat 115 01, subd 22, then the MPCA water quality standards of Minn R 7050, and specifically Minn R 7050 0186, would apply to impacts to that wetland under NPDES Permit requirements See Appendix A of the NPDES Permit for

Introduction The City of Rosemount's Comprehensive Wetland Management and Protection Plan CWMPP) was developed in conformance with the provisions of Minnesota Rules 8420 0650 for the purpose of establishing a policy to preserve the health and value of City wetlands The CWMPP is a unique tool designed to• Utilize a consistent classification to identify wetlands Establish methodologies for assessing wetland quality, values, and functions Develop methodologies for evaluating potential land use impacts on wetlands to determine compatible and incompatible land uses Establish wetland protection measures Adopt mitigation measures to compensate for the loss of wetland functions due to land use impacts Establish local wetland policy supported by existing federal, state, and regional permitting requirements This document provides the City with the ability to address accurately the current issues associated with the critical aspects of wetland mitigation and management The CWMPP is designed to protect and maintain the functionality of wetlands and other natural water resources within the City of Rosemount through regulatory policy and public education. The CWMPP provides greater flexibility and control over wetland management and protection to meet the specific needs and goals of the community. The plan was developed in recognition of the City of Rosemount's 2020 Land Use Plan and the 2002 Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan. This document is written in recognition of the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) and shall serve as a supplement to this legislation. Page 4 H. Executive Summary The Rosemount C WMPP is an inventory/assessment of wetlands in Rosemount combined with a Plan and Ordinance designed to maximize the benefit that surface waters can provide to the community A wetland inventory has been undertaken (See Appendix B) The inventory consists of detailed technical data on each wetland Wetlands were assessed for quality and functionality based on the information gathered in the field Functional scores are included with the wetland inventory Each wetland has been mapped and included in the Cit}'s Geographic Information System (GIS) The functional assessment information contained within this document consists of the previously performed field evaluations and assessments conducted by City staff in the development of the 1998 plan Wetlands have been prioritized for management based on the assessed functional score. This information gives City staff the ability to make an informed decision on what water resources are important and should be protected from for future urbanized growth and development Wetlands with the highest value were assigned the most aggressive management and protection strategies. Past and present land development has influenced the administration of the CWWP since the adoption of the plan in 1998 Since then, a number of issues have been brought to the attention of City staff that affect wetland mitigation and management These issues have been handled administratively by City staff, motions by Rosemount City Council or through Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) discussions. The City has become concerned with the ability to enforce such administration without a policy and procedure adopted as ordinance by City Council In response, staff has elected to amend the 1998 CWMPP to address the outstanding and recurring issues associated with wetland impacts and management New policies and provisions were discussed with the wetland committee and City staff. This CWMPP will be amended as determined necessary by the City. Plan amendments will also be conducted as required by the governing agencies Page 5 III. Background According to the Metropolitan Council, the City of Rosemount is expected to be one of the top ten growth cities in the metropolitan area between 1995 2020. Land development has put great pressure on the quality and benefits associated with the City's surface water resources The total wetland area in Rosemount covers about 1,832 acres, or about 8% of the City About 1,174 of these acres are associated with the Mississippi River corridor Most of the remaining 658 acres include about 400 other surface water bodies in Rosemount which are small to medium sized pothole wetlands lying within the City's northwest corner Here a swath of the Wisconsin Age, St Croix Moraine has left behind a hilly terrain with many potholes and small enclosed watersheds Large tracts of this area are yet to be developed, but are seen as prime locations for residential housing Just north across Rosemount's border within the City of Eagan lies the Lebanon Hills Regional Park which takes advantage of this interesting terrain for education and recreation. The fieldwork conducted in 1997 and 1998 as a part of the CWMPP, focused on the undeveloped Municipal Urban Service Areas (MUSAs) identified in the 2020 Land Use Plan. Although these properties have a greater density of wetlands and surface waters than other areas of the City, they are expected to experience significant development and have the highest potential for wetland impacts The 1998 CWMPP and ordinance was in effect before much of the development pr47ects in Rosemount, allowing the City to protect and preserve the natural water resources to the fullest extent feasible on the property being developed. The City has applied the CWMPP policies on all land development in the City of Rosemount since the adoption of the plan in 1998 The plan provides a clear outline of the City's expectations concerning wetland management and protection. The City has been able to achieve a "No Net Loss' of wetland acreage since the insertion of the CWMPP into the formal review process Buffer monuments have contributed to the public education portion of the CWMPP Buffer areas themselves have increased in overall area and vegetation density Wetland monitoring provides the City with technical data on mitigation sites The data are reviewed to ensure that the appropriate wetland type and functionality is attained. The City's 1998 Erosion Control policy has helped to prevent soil erosion and deposition impacts to wetlands adjacent to construction. This plan amendment addresses the following issues: Public Education Erosion Control Functional Assessments and Re- Assessments Wetland Classification Appeals Wetland Mitigation Regulations and Procedure The objectives are to enhance surface water quality and functionality by integrating wetland management and protection by the provisions of this document and the Wetland Conservation Act. Page 6 IV. Purpose and Need Wetland management and protection was predominately accomplished through site specific permitting actions of various regulatory agencies The purpose of a CWMPP is to provide the local government with the authority to rule on wetland impacts, and implement regulations based on the needs of the community The CWMPP was also designed to provide information to land developers and the public regarding the amount, characteristics, and value of local wetlands and surface water This C WMPP exists for the purpose of optimizing the City's surface water resources as provided under the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act The goals of this plan are to. Determine the quantity and quality of the wetland resources in Rosemount Map wetlands at a scale appropriate for local planning purposes Maintain data for use by residents and developers Focus limited resources in the most effective direction Solve chronic wetland management problems Identify key educational areas Achieve no net loss in the quantity, quality, functionality, and biological diversity of Rosemount's existing wetlands Increase the quantity, quality, functionality. and biological diversity of Rosemount's wetlands by enhancing diminished or drained wetlands Avoid direct or indirect impacts from activities that destroy or diminish the quantity, quality, and biological diversity of wetlands Replace wetland values where avoidance of activity is not feasible and prudent Optimize management of City surface water and wetland by integrating all surface water related management plans and ordinances. To identify existing and potential problems or opportunities for protection, management, and development of water resources and related land resources in the county To develop and implement a plan of action to promote sound management of water resources in the City Page 7 V.

Wetland regulations Wetland regulation involves federal, state, and local agencies including the Board of Soil and Water Resources, Department of Natural Resources, Watershed Districts, Army Corps of Engineers, and Local Government Units Notification is provided to each agency in the event of wetland related impacts The following items describe the role and responsibility of each agency. A. US Army Corps of Engineers The US Army Corp of Engineers (COE) regulates the discharge of dredged or fill materials to wetlands and other water bodies through Section 404 of the Clean Water Act provided that there is a surface water connection to navigable waters Any impact to a navigable water or wetland or impact that is connected to navigable waters, including filling, draining or excavating may require a permit from the COE Wetland delineations are also subject to COE approval Depending on the size and extent of the wetland impact, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) maybe involved in certifying the COE permit For more information about the COE regulations, the area COE project manger can be contacted at (651) 290 -5015 or information can be obtained from the COE website at www m usace army mil B. Department of Natural Resources The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has jurisdiction over Public Waters and Wetlands as depicted on the DNR Public Waters Inventory maps The DNR has jurisdiction over Public Water and wetlands to the Ordinary High Water Elevation (OHWE) or to the top -of -bank for streams The OHWE is determined by the DNR Any impact to a Public Water or Wetland may require a permit from the DNR. The DNR Area Hydrologist can be contacted for more information at (651) 772 -7910 or information can be obtained from the DNR website at www dnr state mn.us/waters C. MPCA Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) water quality standards applicable to wetland protection are contained in Minnesota Rules 7050 Water quality standards are applicable to all wetlands of the state Sequencing mitigation requirements of Minn Rule 7050 0186 apply to all wetland alterations that are permitted or certified by the MPCA as described below The NPDES /SDS permit program is a delegated federal permit issued under the responsibilities and authorities contained in Minnesota Statutes Chapter 115 Minnesota Rule 7050 0186 requires a sequencing evaluation to avoid, minimize, and mitigate wetland impacts in the issuance of NPDES /SDS permits, mcludmg issuance of the general Construction Storm Water NPDES permits. If a project includes a physical wetland alteration caused by draining. filling, excavation, or inundation of the wetland and that impact is not addressed in either the US Army Corps of Engineers 404 permit, the Department of Natural Resources permit, or the Wetland Conservation Act permit, then mitigation compliance with MN Rule 7050.0186 must be demonstrated For the purposes of the MPCA NPDES permit, de minimis determinations by another permitting agency that address the project impacts are recognized by the MPCA However, a non-jurisdictional Page 11 determination by another permitting agency does not address project impacts and therefore does require the project proposer to demonstrate that it meets the NPDES permit conditions and Minnesota Rule 7050 0186. In the past, 7050.0186 requirements were often applied during the issuance of Section 401 Water Quality Certification which is part of the issuance process of the US Corps of Engineers 404 permit The 401 Water Quality Certification program is an element of the Federal Clean Water Act and has been delegated to the MPCA Under this program, the MPCA reviewed all federal permits including Clean Water Act Section 404 permit applications for compliance with state water quality standards primarily contained in Minnesota Rule 7050 The MPCA can approve, deny, or waive 401 certification If denied, the federal permit, usually the US Corps of Engineers 404 permit, cannot be issued. The MPCA is currently not implementing the Section 401 program on a regular basis and nearly all certifications are being waived This action does not eliminate, waive, or vary the applicant's responsibility of complying with all water quality standards and requirements contained in Minnesota Rules 7050 In addition. this waiver action does not waive MPCA's authority to take necessary actions, including enforcement actions, to ensure that the applicant and the project's construction, installation, and operation comply with water quality standards and all other applicable MPCA statutes and rules regarding water quality D. Local Government Unit The Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) is a state law that was passed in 1991 and has been subsequently amended (Minn Laws CH 354, Minn. Statute 103G 222 -2373 and other scattered sections). The Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) publishes MN Rule 8420 in accordance with the Wetland Conservation Act laws B WSR's role is to assist the Local Government Units (LGUs) in the implementation of the WCA and to be a member of the Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP). The WCA is administered by the Local Government Units (LGUs) The City of Rosemount is the LGU for the WCA within the City's political boundary The City can issue or deny permits depending on whether or not the project is in conformance the WCA and the requirements of this plan The intent of the WCA is to achieve a "No Net Loss" of wetlands in Minnesota. Therefore, the WCA prohibits filling, draining, and excavating of wetlands in some areas unless the activity is exempt or wetlands are replaced by restoration or creation of wetland of at least equal public value. 1. Wetland Impact and Replacement Application When filling or draining any wetland or excavating in the permanently or semi permanently flooded areas of a type 3, 4, or 5 wetland, or excavation greater that 6 feet in any wetland is anticipated as a part of a project, an application must be completed by the project proposer and submitted to the City These applications are contained within Appendix C If wetland impacts are unavoidable, a wetland mitigation plan must accompany the application as outlined within this plan An application fee may apply. Page 12 2. Wetland Functional Assessment For new land development, the City requires a wetland functional assessment for wetlands identified on the project site Functional assessments will be performed by City staff or an approved wetland specialist with the use of the most current version of MNRAM. Field work will be conducted during the growing season from May I' through October I' for the calendar year A The City may conduct a functional assessment for wetlands adjacent to the project site if the following apply- The wetland is down gradient of the project site The project has significantly changed the surface water runoff conditions (seasonally flooded wetlands) The wetland extends beyond the project boundary City staff determines it is feasible and relative to the project or provisions of this plan 3. Wetland Delineation For any site development activities within the City of Rosemount, the City requires the developer to submit a wetland delineation report that identifies the location and the extent of any wetlands present on the site. Wetland delineations are to be performed by a wetland professional who has been trained in wetland delineations. Delineations will be subject to field verification by City staff, the Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) and /or the US Army Corps of Engineers It is recommended that City staff review wetland delineations prior to plan development and /or application submittal A Wetland delineations maybe required on wetlands adjacent to the proposed project site subject to the conditions outlined in Section XIII. D 2 A 4. Wetland Sequencing Sequencing must be provided as a part of an application for wetlands categorized as Preserve, Manage I, Manage II, and Manage III An applicant who proposes to impact a wetland identified in the CWMPP must adhere to the wetland Sequencing Standards outlined in Minn. Rules 8420 0520 in the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA). The applicant may submit a sequencing evaluation with the wetland impact application or apply for a preliminary sequencing determination from the Local Government Unit (LGU) The determination of a complete sequencing evaluation will be made by the LGU and/or Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) assigned to the project For a comprehensive description of the Sequencing standards, see Mum. Rules 8420 0520 in the WCA. 5. Wetland Replacement Once sequencing has been completed in conformance with this plan and it has been determined that wetland impacts are unavoidable, the lost functions and values of the Page 13 wetland must be replaced Replacement of lost functions and values must be in conformance with the Wetland Replacement section of this plan Wetland replacement should be located within the project site. If this is not feasible, replacement locations should be within the same sub watershed within the City It is strongly encouraged that wetlands categorized as Manage lI or Manage III within this plan are used for wetland mitigation when feasible Wetland replacement may be completed in the form of New Wetland Credit (NWC) or through a combination of NWC and Public Value Credit (PVC) as provided in the Wetland Replacement section of this plan For a comprehensive description of NWC and PVC, see Minn Rules 8420 0540 in the Wetland Conservation Act 6. Replacement for Road Projects Through the WCA, wetland impacts that occur due to road improvement projects that address safety issues and are not undertaken solely to accommodate additional traffic capacity by the City or County as the local road authority are eligible to be replaced by BWSR as outlined in Minn Rules 8420 0540 Subp 4 (5) (6) and Subp 5 Impacts need to be avoided and minimized to the greatest extent feasible Notification to BWSR of the intent to use BWSR mitigation is required through application process and/or annual reporting by the City Applications can be found in Appendix C. B WRS mitigation is not eligible for new streets associated with land development unless the Local Government Authority determines the additional streets improve or benefit public transportation or resolve an existing public transportation concern WCA Exemptions The WCA exemption standards are covered in MN Rule 8420.0122 and are included only by reference to this plan E. Wetland Application Process and Timeline When filling or draining any wetlands or excavation in the permanently or semi permanently flooded areas of a Type 3, 4, or 5 wetland or excavation greater than 6 feet for any wetland is anticipated as part of a project, an application must be completed by the project proposer and submitted to the City These applications are contained in Appendix C. If wetland impact is less than 10,000 square feet, the City will send a summary and Notice of Application of the project within 10 days of receipt of a complete application to the TEP, the DNR, and anyone who has requested this information Ifwetland impact is greater than 10,000 square feet, the City will send a Notice of Application and copy of the application within 10 days of receipt of the application to the TEP, Watershed Management Organization, the DNR, and anyone who has requested such information The TEP, Watershed District, DNR, and other agencies shall have up to 15 or 30 calendar days to comment on the project Once the comment period has ended, the City will make a decision on the application within Page 14 60 days of receiving a complete application in accordance with Minn. Rules 8420 0230 Subp 2 If the 60 day process cannot be accommodated due to the timing of the preliminary plat process the applicant will be informed Generally applications will be approved or denied during the preliminary plat process Once a decision is made the City will mail a Notice of Decision and Findings and Conclusions to all who received a summary or copy of the permit application. The City's decision is then effective and the project can commence provided that replacement of the wetland impacts occurs before or concurrently with the wetland impact and provided all other permits from other agencies have been obtained There is a 30 day appeal process in MN Rule Chapter 8420 The applicant can begin work during this appeal window at its own risk If the LGU's decision is appealed, work on the project would be suspended until the appeal process is resolved The project proposer can appeal the City's decision This appeal must be made to the Board of Water and Soil Resources within 30 days after the date on which the Notice of Decision is mailed Minn Rule 8420.0250 can be consulted for further information on appeals. This wetland management plan has been developed to be in conformance with the WCA Any future changes m the WCA would supersede the requirements outlined in this plan. Page 15 IX. Technical Elements Wetland /Surface Water Inventory Wetlands were identified based on instructions in the Minnesota Wetland Delineation Field Guide Included in field documentation is notation on hydrology, size, vegetation and soils, several photographs, and Dakota County topographic half section map locations This field reconnaissance was carried out in 1997 and 1998 by the City's Water Resources Engineer with assistance from mterns trained and supervised by the former The database was setup using the National Wetland Inventory (NWI) compiled in 1987 using aerial photography The database was then modified with any changes found by field inspection during the spring, summer and fall of 1997 and spring of 1998 Wetlands found by field inspection that were not listed in the NWI have been added Wetland determinations were arrived at using the three defining factors for a wetland, Hydrology, Vegetation, and Soils All three categories needed to be satisfied before an area could be typed as a wetland Hydrology To satisfy the hydrologic component, the area has to have water within 12 inches of the surface or be inundated (covered with water) for at least two weeks in an average year The water could be present at the time of inspection or the evidence of water, such as water marks, could be used as well Soils Wetland soils, called hydric soils, were determined using the Munsell Soil Color Charts Hydne soils are soils that show a characteristic dull or low chroma color due to the reduction of iron in the soil When soils are saturated for significant periods, gleyed conditions can result. Gleyed soils can form due to the lack of oxygen in the soil which, in turn, reduces the iron thus making the soil blue -green When soils are saturated intermittently "mottles" will form These mottles are usually rust or brown in color and appear from the introduction of oxygen which oxidizes the iron The process that forms wetland indicative soils takes years of continuous reducing conditions which make soil a strong and resilient indicator Vegetation Water tolerant vegetation or hydrophytic vegetation is the third factor in determining a wetland Plants were categorized during field inspection using the Wetland Plants and Plant Communities of Minnesota and Wisconsin written by the US Army Corps of Engineers Field Methods Various resources were utilized both in the office and in the field to determine possible wetland sites Initially, 1991 topographic maps were used in conjunction with the NWI map to locate wetlands in the City Next, 1991 aerial photographs were viewed to locate low and possible water holding areas. The last step in the office reconnaissance was to check the local soils map for hydric (wetland) soils After Page 16 these preparatory steps were taken, the field work was undertaken. All areas were covered on foot, and low areas or areas with one of the three wetland indicators (hydrology, soils, and vegetation) were tested. Areas that tested as wetlands were documented on field data sheets as well as sketched onto topographic maps for approximate representation of size Photographs were taken of the wetland sites as well Precise delineations of wetlands are left to be completed by property owners, as the need arises A list of DNR surface waters was generated from the field work and subsequent research. Table 2 represents the DNR surface waters identified within the City of Rosemount The list was derived from the Public Waters Inventory map and information provided by the local DNR hydrologist. Database Information Using the information collected during field work, wetlands were categorized using the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and NWI classification systems This information was then entered into the wetland database The database shows Rosemount's wetland number, size, FWS type, DNR number, and other relevant information This information is directly linked to the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) map which sbows the entire wetland system in Rosemount. Geographic Information Systems Map Polygon coverage using the program Arcview was linked to the tabular data in the Microsoft Access Database with a common identifier. Polygons representing the shape of the wetlands were drawn using contour and parcel coverages as a backdrop The overall process was used to create a digital map that can be accessed with ease to locate wetlands throughout the City of Rosemount Maps can be generated and database information about the wetlands can be viewed The GIS maps are updated seasonally to account for wetland impact activity and monitoring accomplished for that season New and replacement wetlands will be incorporated in the GIS database and City map as they are established New wetlands will be categorized as Manage III wetlands The functionality and classification will be updated based on the monitoring information provided to the City Wetland Committee A wetland committee was organized to discuss the current issues and concerns that effect wetland management and protection. Members of the committee include City staff, City Council, Planning and Utility Commission and WSB and Associates, Inc This committee will serve as the governing body for the CWMPP and will continue to meet once every season to discuss wetland related issues Agency Review This document is written in compliance with Minn Rule 8420.0650 and has undergone the necessary review and approval process through the appropriate state agencies Comments have been accepted and addressed within the provisions of this document. Page 17 X. Functional Assessment The functional value of wetlands was evaluated in Rosemount with respect to the following functional parameters Floral Diversity and Integrity Water Quality Protection Fish Wildlife Habitat Flood/Storm Water Attenuation Shoreline Protection Groundwater Recharge and Discharge Aesthetic /Recreation/Education and Science Commercial Uses Wetland functionality was assessed according to a modified version of the Minnesota Routine Assessment Method (MmRAM) referred to as the Rosemount Wetland Functional Assessment (RoseWFA) worksheet, included in Appendix B It was developed over the course of 1997 and in consultation with, the Minnesota Board of Soil and Water Resources, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District, the Rosemount Wetland Committee, and City staff These worksheets are for reference only and will not be used by the City for evaluating wetland functionality in the future Wetland functional assessments will be conducted with the use of MmRAM 3.0 (or most current version) in the future. For new land development, the City requires the project proposer or applicant to conduct wetland functional assessments for wetlands identified on the project site. Wetland assessment information is in addition to the wetland delineation(s) and report as required per Section VIII D 2 of this plan Functional assessments must be performed with the use of the most current version of MNRAM Field work must be conducted during the growing season between the times of May 1' through October I' for the calendar year The City may require wetland delineation and functional assessment for wetlands adjacent to the project site when feasible and/or if the following apply The wetland is down gradient of the construction site The project has significantly changed the surface water runoff conditions The wetland extends beyond the project boundary In an effort to reduce the cost associated with a citywide wetlands re- assessment, the City elected to retain the current functional assessment information of the 1998 document The Wetland Health Evaluation Program (WHEP) provides City staff with technical data on the health and functionality of City wetlands The WHEP is discussed in Section XV of this plan. The information obtained through the City's involvement in the WHEP is included by reference into this plan Page 18 XI. Wetland Classification Wetlands are classified for management and protection based on the total score of each functional parameter listed in Section 10. The management classifications and corresponding functional scores are as follows: Preserve: Wetlands placed into the preserve category received the highest functional score ranging between 425 -660 Manage I Wetlands placed into Manage I category received functional scores between 280 -420. These wetlands were for special value. Manage II• Wetlands placed into Manage H category received functional scores between 280420 Manage III: Wetlands placed into Manage III category received functional scores between 0 -275. Appeal of Wetland Classification In the event of a dispute concerning wetland classification, the applicant or project proposer will be required to submit a Request forAppeal to the City's Water Resource Engineer The Request forAppeal must include the wetland number, current classification, and reason(s) for the appeal A functional assessment will be conducted by City staff or a City approved wetland specialist. A decision will be made based on a review of the information within 30 days during the growing season or 30 days after the growing season begins (See definition of Growing Season) A notice of decision will be sent to the appealing party and the regulatory agencies The notice of decision will indicate the wetland classification and the management and protection strategies assigned to the wetland by support of this document. If staff finds that the request does not meet the criteria necessary to allow a re- classification, the appealing party will be sent a letter of denial. Wetlands classified as Preserve or Manage I are high quality wetlands and are prohibited from the wetland classification appeal process. Page 19 XI. Wetland Management General Water Quality Practices For wetlands citywide, several tools can be applied with minimal expense. The City shall maintain its regularly scheduled program of street sweeping and storm drain sump cleaning City streets are swept twice yearly and catch basm sumps are cleaned seasonally based on the schedule of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) These programs can have a significant impact on wetland water quality by removing sediments and chemicals from the stormwater runoff that enters surface water bodies The Engineering Department and Building Inspections currently maintain a general erosion control inspection and enforcement program. The goal of this program is to minimize transport of sediments eroded from construction sites to surface water bodies. This program is supported by language in the City's Surface Water Management Ordinance as well as the Uniform Building Code for the State of Minnesota. This program is continually being reviewed and improved to minimize the impact to water quality of stormwater runoff The Erosion Control Policy is included in Appendix E In compliance with state requirements, the City has developed and implemented a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) which focuses on the preventative aspects of stormwater pollution The SWPPP is a combination of Best Management Practices (BMP s), ordinance, and public education tools used to prevent stormwater pollution The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has required the City of Rosemount to submit a SWPPP for review and approval The City is required to submit an annual report with results and summaries of the actions taken for the previous year In order to organize and implement Rosemount's Wetland and Surface Water Management Plan, an ordinance has been developed under Minnesota Statute Chapter 462 This ordinance is Title 10 of the Rosemount City Code Surface Water Management Ordinance included in Appendix D. Efforts to educate residents regarding wetland ecosystems and best management practices are ongoing and will continue. Along with dissemination of surface water specific information. programs that will encourage direct action on the part of residents, such as CAMP, will be discussed by City staff The City will continue to promote and sponsor an "Adopt -A- Wetland" program This will enlist volunteers to collect litter and trash that accumulates around and within City wetlands as well as addressing other needs as they develop Other educational opportunities will be actively sought Category Specific Management Strategies The inventory and functional assessment information was used to determine management categories for individual wetlands based on functional level Wetlands that score highest are targeted for maximum protection and resource dedication The wetland category management strategies were designed to optimize resource allocation While philosophically, all wetlands deserve the highest level of preservation, this is not possible given limited resources available The goal of this plan is to devote resources in a manner that optimizes the overall functional value of wetlands to the community and the natural ecosystem. This plan does not "roll back" any protection for wetlands existing under state or federal law but rather specifies proactive management strategies scaled to the current functional levels of Rosemount wetlands Page 20 The management strategies call for increasing levels of protection for wetlands that score high in the functional assessment In terms of actual management practices these different levels are implemented through buffer zones, stormwater treatment, and public education Wetland Buffer Zones Wetland Buffer Zones are natural areas of vegetation designated by a Local Government Unit (LGUI) to protect the ecological values and functions of the aquatic system. Buffer zone functions include: Stabilizing soils and preventing erosion Filtering suspended solids and nutrients Supporting and protecting fish and wildlife habitat Encouraging the production of unique vegetation Stabilizing water temperature Fecal coliform removal Human impact deterrence Dense native vegetation is the optimal condition for an effective wetland buffer zone Buffer zones are prohibited from activities that disturb the roots or influence the growth of the vegetation, such as grading, mowing, landscaping and planting, fertilizing, spraying (herbicides), and seeding or sodding Herbicides and controlled bums or other management practices used to control noxious weeds will be allowed only with permission from the City's Water Resource Engineer Wetland buffer zones may encompass private property. The responsibility of conforming to the buffer requirements lies with the property owner, homeowner's association, or management company responsible for seasonal care of the property over which the conservation easement lies. The acreage required for the wetland buffer shall not be used to satisfy the required acreage for active recreation or parks required by the City's Community Development and Parks and Recreation departments The width of buffer considered appropriate to protect a wetland from degradation is related to the Wetland functions being protected and the buffer functions being provided Buffer widths for each management category are prescribed in Table I on page 25 of this document Additional buffer zone may be required above and beyond the prescribed width if determined necessary and feasible by the City Engineer The City has developed and implemented a new approach to preserving wetland integrity by assigning conservation easements over the wetland and wetland buffer area The conservation easements will be recorded with the final plat and must be indicated on subsequent land development plans The extent of the conservation easement will be determined based on the prescribed buffer width for the wetland in question and/or the outer limits of an approved averaged wetland buffer These easements provide the City with a legal right to the property and the ability to enforce the wetland buffer requirements as outlined in this document The practice of constructing a bike path or trail through designated wetland buffers will be determined administratively by City staff The applicant must demonstrate that the placement of the trail does not Page 21 result in a loss of total wetland buffer area for the wetland The buffer area consumed by the placement of the bike path or trail must be compensated for by establishing additional buffer areas in equal or greater amount consumed by the bike path or trail The buffer area on both sides of the bike path or trail must remain natural and must not be manicured or landscaped Bike path and trail material are restricted to bituminous, wood chip, and natural grasses Concrete, rock, gravel, limestone, and sand are not acceptable and are prohibited from use in wetland buffer areas. Buffer Averaging Buffer averaging is the concept of allowing a variable buffer width around a wetland where the average buffer area is equal to the buffer area required for that particular wetland management classification When proposing buffer averaging, the project proposer or applicant must adhere to the following The buffer width must be a minimum 15 feet from the wetland delineation. Preserve and Manage I wetland buffers are allowed to be averaged for linear projects (roads /utilities) only Averaged buffer acreage must be equal to or greater than the required buffer acreage Conservation easement is required over the buffer perimeter and will be recorded at the time of final plat The City Engineer will review the proposal and either approve, approve with conditions or deny the request to utilize buffer averaging around the wetland Buffer Replacement The establishment of wetland buffer zones must follow the current policy of the Board of Soil and Water Resources (BSWR) on planting of native species on wetland replacement sites by the Wetland Conservation Act The "BWSR Recommended Native Seed Mixes for Wetland Replacement Sites, Bank Sites, and RIM Easements" memo is attached in Appendix E. This document contains a list of species that may and must not be planted on wetland replacement sites. Wetlands may not be filled to create or maintain buffer zones Stormwater Treatment Ponds within Wetland Buffer Zones Stormwater treatment ponds within designated wetland buffer zones are becoming a common land development practice Although the pond compromises wetland buffer area, the construction of a pond provides stormwater treatment where suspended solids and other harmful chemicals settle out prior to overflowing into a protected wetland A well designed and placed treatment pond can be beneficial to the quality and integrity of the adjacent wetland. The basin also provides additional flood control for large rain events The design and placement of stormwater treatment ponds within wetland buffer zones must comply with the provisions of the Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan (CS)k`MP) and this document concerning stormwater treatment. The design guidelines from the CS WMP are attached in Appendix F If the area of a wetland buffer zone includes a stormwater treatment pond, the buffer zone must adhere to the following: Page 22 Wetland buffer must be provided between the two basins and around the perimeter of the entire system Wetland buffer must be a minimum 15 feet between the two basins and outer edge of the proposed treatment pond Only one treatment pond in the wetland buffer zone is allowed. Placement of the treatment pond will be determined by the land developer and reviewed by City staff. Buffer area must be equal to the total buffer area required for the wetland in question based on the classification prescribed in Table 1. New Wetland Credit will not be issued for the construction of stormwater treatment ponds in wetland buffer zones The treatment ponds will be considered a function of stormwater management, applicable for issuance of Public Value Credit as outlined in Table 1 Wetland Buffer Monuments For all new developments subsequent to passage of this plan, the developer shall be responsible for installation of monuments which mark the outer edge of the wetland buffer zones. Buffer monuments must be indicated on the grading plan and shall generally be placed at the intersections of lot lines and the buffer boundary All markers and their placement shall be per city specification or approved by the City Engineer A monument template is attached in Appendix G. Buffers in Previously Developed Areas In areas where residential neighborhoods are well established, habitual lawn care practices have become entrenched Wetland buffer requirements will mean persistent education directed toward property owners who live adjacent to and near these wetlands It is intended that resources be focused toward Public Education in areas where buffers already exist Previously developed areas are defined as areas where final plats have been approved before the adoption of this plan and the accompanying ordinance. Wetland Buffer Monuments shall be installed by the City and shall be done as resources are available and property owners agree Monuments will mark the outer edge of the wetland buffer zones. Their placement shall be per city specification or as approved by the City Engineer. Page 23 XII. Wetland Replacement Subject to an approved sequencing evaluation, the applicant will need to provide a wetland replacement plan to account for the proposed wetland impacts Impacts due to development or other construction activity are regulated under the WCA In terms of impact mitigation, the WCA serves as a baseline for evaluation of impacts and associated wetland replacement plans This Plan specifies guidelines for City Staff and Commission/Council review and recommendations for individual wetlands to insure resources allocation is optimized The guidelines are as follows. Preserve Wetlands under this category shall receive the maximum amount of protection under this plan Impacts will be allowed only under extreme hardship Replacement is required at a 3 1 ratio with a minimum of 1 5 acres of New Wetland Credit (NWC) and a maximum of 15 acres of Public Value Credit (PVC) for every acre impacted. Manage I. Mitigation of wetlands in this category will be at a 2 1 ratio with 1 acre of NWC minimum and I acre of PVC maximum for every acre impacted Manage II• Mitigation of wetlands in this category will be at a 2.1 ratio with I acre of NWC minimum and 1 acre of PVC maximum. Manage III: Mitigation of wetlands in this category will beat a 2 ratio with 1 acre of NWC minimum and 1 acre of PVC maximum or as determined by the water resource engineer WCA Sequencmg flexibility is applicable for these wetlands Page 24 Xi H. Wetland Monitoring Wetland Monitoring is required for replacement wetlands for a period of five years City staff coordinates the monitoring for all w etland replacement sites whose permit has been issued from the City of Rosemount Monitoring includes actively managing the replacement site to ensure that vegetation is becoming established, erosion problem areas are stabilized, hydrology criteria are being met, and any other activities to ensure the wetland replacement goals are met Monitoring requirements are outlined in Appendix H A letter of credit is required with the Sub Division or Development Agreement to ensure the proper establishment of the mitigation site(s) Twenty percent of this bond shall be returned to the developer with City approval of each yearly monitoring report. Page 25 XIV. New Wetlands "New wetlands" include wetlands deliberately created where none existed at the time this plan was adopted This might include wetlands created as part of a wetland mitigation/creation projector storm ponds created as part of development Wet areas created by human activity not intended to produce a pond or wetland shall not become part of this plan When non agricultural surface water bodies are initially formed they will come into the plan as part of the Utilize category or as otherwise specified by the City Engineer. The City Engineer may place a created wetland in any category that is appropriate before the functionality has reached the level required by this plan Because these kinds of projects take time to develop into functioning wetlands the functional assessment, if done immediately, would not provide a reasonable indicator of the quality of the wetland as intended Rather, a functional based categorization should be undertaken when the wetland has reached the fully developed functionality intended Normally it could take 5 -10 years for a created wetland to become established A full functional assessment will be done 5 years after its creation and scores stored in the wetlands database. Upon review of the new wetland's progress and score, the City Engineer will place it in the category appropriate to the score Page 26 XV. Other Programs Wetland Health Evaluation Program The Dakota County Welland Health Evaluation Program (WHEP) is a research and educational project sponsored by the Dakota County Environmental Education Program, Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District, the Minnesota Pollution Agency, and the Cities of Dakota County The goals of the project are to provide meaningful data on wetland health to local governments, foster public awareness of wetland value and health, and create positive partnerships between citizens and their local government in addressing natural resource issues. Rosemount has participated in the program since 1998 and has had much success in doing so The project provides City Staff with technical data on monitored City wetlands and it offers a great opportunity for public involvement WEEP has attracted national and local attention for its innovative and unique approach to addressing wetland health Department of Natural Resources Greenway Project The Northern Dakota County Greenway Project has identified quality natural areas, prioritized restoration efforts, and will empower landowners to create a viable suburban greenway corridor in northern Dakota County Detailed natural resource inventories show multiple potential green corridors that can provide a natural, ecological connection between Lilydale Regional Park, Eagan's Lebanon Hills, Dodge Nature Center in Sunfish Lake and West Saint Paul, Marcott Lakes in Inver Grove Heights, and the Pine Bend Bluffs on the Mississippi River. These green corridors can provide tremendous wildlife habitat and create a green pathway across the county. A map of the greenway corridor is attached in Appendix I. CAMP Citizen Assisted Monitoring Program The Citizen- Assisted Monitoring Program (CAMP) is a Metropolitan Council of Environmental Services (MCES) managed program where citizen volunteers monitor the water quality of local surface waters On a biweekly basis (April- October), City volunteer groups collect a surface water sample for laboratory analysis of total phosphorus, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, and chlorophyll -a; obtains a Secchi transparency measurement, and provides some user perception information about the lake's physical and recreational condition. The main purpose of CAMP is to provide water resource personnel with water quality information that will not only help them properly manage these resources, but will also help document water quality impacts and trends An added benefit of the program is the volunteers' increased awareness of their lakes' condition, which has fostered local efforts to protect lakes and promote support for lake management At this time, the City of Rosemount does not participate in this program. In the future, the City Staff will review the costs and benefits of the program and determine if the City's involvement in this program will be beneficial Page 27 N ROSEMOUNT WETLAND INVENTORY Preserve Manage 1 Manage 2 o a o e i s 24 Mies Utilize i al National Wetland Inventory . . .

Generally, the value of a wetland for fish habitat is related to it's connection with deepwater habitats A wetland should be rated as having high or exceptional value for fish if it provides spawning /nursery habitat, or refuge for fish in adjacent lakes, rivers or streams Permanently flooded isolated wetlands that support native populations of minnows should berated as moderate Isolated wetlands that are not permanently flooded do not generally support fish populations 1 How does the plant species diversity of the evaluation wetland compare with an undisturbed reference standard wetland of the same type within the wetland comparison domain's more diverse(20) same(IO) less diverse(0) 2.

In order to achieve the most cost effective protection of surface water, Rosemount has an ongoing erosion control program The program outlines minimum steps that will be required on construction sites where bare soil is exposed Each construction site will be individually evaluated for sufficient erosion and sediment control Additional measures will be specified at the discretion of the City Engineer. 1) All grading plans and building site surveys will be reviewed for effectiveness of erosion control measures in the context of the site topography and drainage If plans or surveys do not specify erosion control, these measures will be described on the plans or surveys by the City Engineer or representative of Plans and surveys with erosion control specified are then returned with the permits 2) Generally, sufficient silt fence will be required to hold all runoff generated at an individual site until it can infiltrate or seep through silt fence pores Temporary rock construction entrances are required whenever vehicles enter and exit a site. 3) Erosion control must be properly installed before construction activity begins. Erosion control structures may be adjusted during dry weather to accommodate short term activities such as those that require very large vehicles As soon as this activity is finished or before rainfall, the erosion control must be returned to the configuration specified by the City. An erosion control inspection must then be scheduled and passed before a footing inspection will be done. 4) Follow -up inspection will be performed by Engineering on a regular basis to ensure erosion control measures are properly installed and maintained In all cases the inspectors attempt to work with the builder or developer to maintain proper erosion control at all sites In cases where cooperation is withheld, construction stop orders may be issued by the City until erosion control measures meet specifications A second erosion controldgrading inspection must then be scheduled and passed before work is allowed to continue. 5) Parking is prohibited on all bare lots and all temporary construction entrances, except where street parking is not available. Gravel entrances are to be used for deliveries only 6) Streets should be cleaned and swept whenever tracking of sediments occurs and before sites are left idle for weekends and holidays Establishment of a regular sweeping schedule will be determined by the City Engineer. 7) The Uniform Building Code requires that grading permits be obtained for earthmoving activities involving 50 cubic yards or more of material A grading plan must accompany the grading permit for City review A permit will not be issued until approval of the grading plan or waiver of the approval requirements has been issued by the City engineer.

BANK SITES, AND RIM EASMENTS January, 2002 The following native seed mixes have been formulated with the assistance of Robert Jacobson, the author of MnDOT's Seeding Manual They are generally less diverse than most MnDOT mix specifications and are a little less costly The seed mixes contain only native species with the e�cephon of some annual cereal gams that will not persist or compete with the establishment of native grass stands Since these are new formulations substitutions may be necessary for some species until seed producers ramp up production to meet increased needs that might mad%ertentl✓ initially occur The following mixes are meant to replace seed Waxes contained in earlier BWSR publications such as the 'BWSR R iM Reserve Wetland Restoration Guide, 1992" and the 'RLtiI Conservation Practices Specifications, 1989 Some of the mixes contained in these publications are contrary to current policy of the BWSR and could affect compliance with Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) rule changes relating to wetland mplaccment and wetland bank credit allacatten These tuts will hkely be revised from time to tune based on supply, cost, and rate of success infommucit that is reported to the BWSR BWSR advocates the use of seed derived from naturally established native stands of vegetation over use of seed mixes wherever possible This preference is related to the increased diversity of species that are typically present and adopted to the local climate However, access and availability to such sites is limited in some areas of the state and seed mixes will have to be relied on in most cases For native grasses, sedges, rushes and (orbs contained in seed rmxes, at is desirable to use origin certified (Yellow Tag) seed from as close to the project area as is possible If Yellow Tag seed is not available, then non certified local ecotype is the next most desirable seed to use Cuhivars are generally not recommended in these mixes as many of these come from southern climates and either can't survive long -term or can be aggressive Seed should be purchased on the PIS basis (PLS pure hve- seed and is the v table seed x punt) Below is a "hut list of species that should not be planted on BWSR easements or WCA replacement sites along with a recommended native specie substitution These species commonly appear on a number of out -of -date native mixes BWSR Invasive Non

Page 6 of 7 f Notes on Substitutions Whenever agencies formulate seed mixtures, it is likely that seed suppliers will not be able to locate adequate supplies from time to time due to harvest conditions, increases in demand due to program changes, and seed crop failures Project planners should consult with trusted suppliers and agency experts to suggest substitutions Substitutions should be based on providing similar form and function Consideration should also be given to the anticipated seeds per square foot and not)ust pounds of seed as seed numbers per pound can vary considerably The project planner should also not just accept a substitution based on what the supplier has on hand as ample supply maybe available from other venders Below are some specific notes related to the mixes suggested herein Indiangrass is not suited for northeast MN Marsh muhly (Muhlenbergia racemosa) for moist sandy sites, statewide Sand dropseed (Sporobolus cryptandrous) for uplands and dry sites, all but extreme south and southwest MN Porcupine grass (Stipa spartea) for sandy hills and good moist sites, all but Lake and Cook counties Sideoats grams and blue grama are not suited for northeast Mn Junegrass is not suited for the very northeast Mn Page 7 of 7 Appendix F 6 It NURP Design Guidelines The NURP design recommendations for the design of storm water treatment basins are as follows a A permanent pool "dead storage volume below the principal spillway (normal outlet) which shall be greater than or equal to the runoff from a 2 5 inch storm over the entire contributing drainage area assuming full development b A permanent pool average depth (basin volume /basin area) which shall be 4 feet, with a maximum depth of 10 feet c An emergency overflow (emergency outlet) adequate to control the one percent frequencylcritical duration rainfall event d Basin side slopes above the normal water level should be no steeperthan 3 1, and preferably flatter A basin shelf with a minimum width of 10 feet and one foot deep below the normal water level is recommended to enhance wildlife habitat, reduce potential safety hazards, and improve access for long -term maintenance e To prevent short circuiting, the distance between mayor inlets and the normal outlet shall be maximized f A flood pool "live storage volume above the principal spillway shall be adequate so that the pea k discharge rates from 99 10 and 1 chance critical duration storms are no greater than pre development basin watershed conditions Additional discharge restrictions may be required as outlined in
