ISSUE
The City of Rosemount developed a Stormwater Management Plan in August 2007 to meet local
watershed management planning requirements of the Metropolitan Surface Water Management Act and
Board of Water and Soil Resources Rules 8410. It was also developed to be in compliance with the
requirements of the local Watershed District and Watershed Management Organizations, Metropolitan
Council requirements and applicable State and Federal Laws. Wachter is a stormwater collection pond for
the drainage area west of Robert Trail, roughly south of 140th St W and north of Chippendale Ave W.
June 19, 2017, Interim Public Works Director John Morast held a discussion with the Utility Commission
regarding Wachter Pond. Since that time, the new Public Works Director has met with Mr. Tom Tubbs, a
resident along the pond to discuss some concerns that were outlined in a letter that he previously sent to
the City of Rosemount.
BACKGROUND
In the coming weeks, staff will be responding to the questions raised and review options that may be
pursued in order to address some of the resident’s concerns. Additional updates will be provided to the
Utility Commission as this process moves forward.
