CITY OF ROSEMOUNT COMPREHENSIVE SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1. General
This Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP, the Plan) has been developed to provide the City of
Rosemount (the City) with direction concerning the administration and implementation of water resource
activities within the City. This plan is intended to meet the requirements for a local surface water
management plan as required by the Metropolitan Surface Water Management Act and be in
conformance with Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) Rules Chapter 8410.
In addition to being in conformance with the above state law, this plan has also been developed to meet
the needs, requirements, and direction outlined by the following list:
1. Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization (VRWJPO)
2. State and Federal laws regarding the need to secure a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Storm Water Discharge permit
3. Metropolitan Council Water Resource Management Policy Plan
This plan incorporates the approaches and direction provided in the programs and documents listed
above into a comprehensive plan that can be consistently applied across the City.
1.2. Background, History, and Approach of Stormwater Management
in the City of Rosemount
Surface water management within the City of Rosemount has been a significant issue over the past
several decades due to the topography within the City, which is characterized by a number of deep
depressions with no natural overflow out of the City. The following is a brief summary of some of the key
highlights:
· In the 1980s, the City of Rosemount had a plan to construct lift station outlets for much of the
City and discharge water to the south into the Vermillion River.
· The proposed outlet to the south was pursued until the mid-1990s, when the Metropolitan
Council Environmental Services (MCES) began to inquire about expansion of the Empire
Wastewater Treatment Plant. Based on regional environmental concerns related to the trout
stream designation of the Vermillion River, the MCES deemed it prudent to redirect treated
effluent from the expanded Empire plant to the east, into the Mississippi River, rather than
directly discharging effluent into the Vermillion River.
· At approximately the same time that the MCES outlet discussions were ongoing, the City of
Rosemount began to re-examine additional options related to providing an overflow from the
City.
· The 2002 and 2007 SWMPs included plans to capture the majority of the City’s runoff and
direct it to the MCES interceptor and eventually discharge water to the east to the Mississippi
River.
· In 2014, the VRWJPO updated its watershed wide model to include the City and found
intercommunity flow standards out of the City of Rosemount through four existing discharge
points south and east through Empire Township and Nininger Townships to the Vermillion
River. These existing condition intercommunity flow rate standards provided the City
additional options for overflows out of the City that would not require routing all runoff through
SECTION 1 Page 2
CITY OF ROSEMOUNT COMPREHENSIVE SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
a trunk line to the Mississippi River.
Included in this plan are proposed overflow routes to both the Mississippi River and the Vermillion River
through multiple discharge points out of the City. Part of this plan includes a draft proposed 80-year lease
agreement with MCES to construct a temporary treated effluent outfall as part of the MCES interceptor
which will discharge water to the east into the Mississippi River. This approach identifies using the
excess capacity within the MCES outfall system to allow for up to a 50 cfs capacity stormwater overflow.
To utilize this small discharge rate, the City requires storage of runoff from the 100-year, 24-hour storm
event for new development. For events with longer duration, a maximum peak stormwater discharge rate
will be limited to 0.05 cfs/acre. It is important to note that these treatment areas do not utilize natural
wetland areas to substitute for constructing stormwater ponds.
As development occurs, the City anticipates construction of a permanent stormwater trunk conveyance
system to the east located adjacent or near the proposed MCES outfall route. This system would be
designed to manage the discharge for the critical event limited to .05 cfs per acre from the upstream
drainage area (approx. 800 cfs).
In addition to the agreement with the MCES for use of excess capacity within the outfall system, the City
will also pursue and utilize overflow routes to the south and east through Empire Township and Nininger
Townships to the Vermillion River, meeting the intercommunity flow standards the VRWJPO set with their
2014 watershed wide model update.
1.3. Executive Summary
The Rosemount Surface Water Management Plan is divided into six sections. Brief descriptions of each
of these sections are provided below.

2. LAND AND WATER RESOURCE INVENTORY
In conformance with the Metropolitan Surface Water Management Act and as required in Minnesota
Rules Section 8410.0060, this section of the plan provides a general description and summary of the
climate, geology, surficial topography, surface and groundwater resource data, soils, land use, public
utilities services, water-based recreation, fish and wildlife habitat, unique features, scenic areas, and
pollutant sources. This section also identifies where detailed information can be obtained for many of
these areas of concern.
2.1. Climate and Precipitation
2.1.1. Climate
The climate for Dakota County, just south of the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area is
described as a humid continental climate with moderate precipitation, wide daily temperature
variations, warm humid summers and cold winters. The total average annual precipitation is
approximately 31 inches, of which approximately one-third occurs in the months of June, July and
August. The annual snowfall average is about 56 inches and is equivalent to approximately 5.6
inches of water. Average monthly temperature and precipitation are shown in Table 2-1.
The climate in Minnesota is constantly evolving and changing. The Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources (DNR) notes that Minnesota is getting warmer and wetter, with more intense
rain storms happening more frequently. Although climate conditions may vary from year to year,
the DNR predicts these climate change trends will continue through the 21st century.
2.1.2. Precipitation
A rainfall event having a 99% chance of occurrence in a given year, in a 24-hour period is
approximately 2.5 inches. A rainfall event having a 1% chance of occurrence in a given year, in a
24-hour period is approximately 7.4 inches. These values are based on the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Atlas 14 precipitation frequency estimates. Atlas 14
precipitation frequencies improve upon previously used frequencies by looking at a denser data
network over a longer period of time and by using new techniques for spatial interpolation and
mapping. Atlas 14 storms typically predict higher rainfall totals than previously used precipitation
frequencies. The 100-year, 10-day runoff is 7.2 inches. Additional climatological information for
the area can be obtained from the National Weather Service website or from State Climatologist
website.
2.2. Existing and Proposed Drainage Patterns
Stormwater runoff from the City is land-locked as the City has no positive outlet. The drainage in the City
is characterized by a number of deep depressions. The majority of these depressions are landlocked,
with no natural overflow out of the direct subwatershed of the basin. The specific drainage areas, which
depict topography for areas within the City, are shown on the subwatershed delineation map on Figure 7,
Appendix A and are further illustrated in the stormwater trunk system map in Appendix D. As can be
observed from the subwatershed delineation map, the City is divided into many small watersheds. The
subwatershed delineations, identified in Figure 7, Appendix A, utilized City topographic mapping, storm
sewer as-builts, and have been further delineated to include the direct tributary subwatershed for many of
the larger basins within the City.
The proposed drainage pattern will include storing the 100-year, 24-hour storm event for new
development. A temporary storm sewer trunk overflow system will be constructed to the east as part of
the MCES treated effluent outfall to provide overflow capacity if needed to the Mississippi River. As
development occurs, the City anticipates construction of a permanent stormwater trunk conveyance
overflow system to the east located adjacent or near the proposed MCES outfall route.

CITY OF ROSEMOUNT COMPREHENSIVE SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
2.3. Geology and Topographic Information
2.3.1. Geology:
The City of Rosemount is located in north central Dakota County (Figure 1, Appendix A). Total
area within the corporate limits is approximately 35 square miles. The northeastern boundary of
the City is the Mississippi River. The City of Apple Valley borders to the west, while Eagan and
Inver Grove Heights are to the north. The City of Coates, along with Empire Township and
Vermillion townships border Rosemount to the south. Nininger Township borders to the east, in
the areas where the Mississippi River does not.
The two major geomorphic regions within the City are moraine topography and valley outwash.
The Mississippi Valley Outwash Area is located along an approximate line from the southwestern
part of the City to the northeast corner. This area was formed from the water associated with
melting glaciers. The area appears as nearly level terraces and floodplains. On the higher
terraces water tables are usually deep and in the low terraces water tables are shallow.
The remaining part of the City is within the Eastern St. Croix Moraine geomorphic area. The area
consists of relatively steep hills, rolling topography and some deep depressions that are filled with
small lakes or peat. The area consists of a mixture of red and grey till and is composed of silt,
clay, sand, pebbles, cobbles, and boulders. Water tables may be at or near the surface in the
depressions, but are 10 feet or deeper in the hills.
Based on the 1990 Dakota County Geologic Atlas, depth to bedrock within the City ranges from
less than 50 feet in parts of eastern Rosemount to 250 feet in western Rosemount. The bedrock
along the Mississippi River is between 350-400 feet below the surface. Bedrock formations
include the St. Peter Sandstone and Prairie du Chien group with Jordan Sandstone and
Franconia Formation near the Mississippi River.
The City also contains an area in the east known as Rich Valley. Rich Valley is a covered karst
valley. There are approximately 50 feet of outwash sand and gravel sediments that overlie the
fractured and cavernous Prairie du Chien’s dolostones and sandstone.
Additional geologic information for areas within the City can be found in the following plans:
· Dakota County Geologic Atlas
· Vermillion River Watershed Management Plan
The Minnesota Geological Survey is in the process of updating Dakota County’s Geologic Atlas.
The City will update its groundwater resource and geologic data with the new Dakota County
Geologic Atlas information as necessary.

2.3.2. Topography:
The topography of the City can be described as rolling, with short, steep slopes and numerous
depressions. The slopes become longer and more gradual towards the east. The northeastern
corner is characterized by river bluffs sloping to the Mississippi River.
2.4. City Surface Water Resource Data
Available surface water resource data within the City is summarized in this section. Detailed information
has been included either in the appendices to this report or has been identified by reference and is
available from the Engineering Department.
The hydrologic system of the City consists of wetlands, streams, and major water bodies as outlined
below.
2.4.1. Wetlands
The general locations of wetlands within the City are shown on different figures included in
Appendix A. These figures show the National Wetland Inventory (Figure 4, Appendix A), the
DNR Public Waters (Figure 5, Appendix A), Wetland Functional Assessment as identified in the
City Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan (Figure 16, Appendix A) and the VRWJPO
Wetland and Watercourse Inventory (Figure 17, Appendix A). These wetlands provide habitat to
many species of plants and animals.
To comply with state and federal regulations, any wetland that may be impacted by a project
within the City must be field delineated in accordance with the currently accepted wetland
delineation method. When wetland modification is proposed, a more detailed functional
assessment must be performed using an accepted wetland assessment methodology such as the
Minnesota Routine Assessment Method for Evaluation Wetland Functions (MnRAM).
The VRWJPO is currently drafting a wetland banking policy for within the watershed boundary
which would require replacement credits for wetland impacts occurring in the watershed. As the
policy is completed the City will house a copy of the policy in the Engineering Department.
The Wetland Conservation Act of 1991 (WCA) states that Local Government Units (LGUs) are
responsible for administering the rules of the WCA. The City acts as the LGU responsible for
SECTION 2 Page 4
CITY OF ROSEMOUNT COMPREHENSIVE SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
administering the WCA.
2.4.2. Major Bodies of Water
There are several major water bodies that convey and store water within and through the City.
These water bodies are the Mississippi River, Keegan Lake, White Lake, Birger Pond, Schwarz
Pond, Wachter Lake, and many other unnamed water bodies (Figure 5, Appendix A). More
information about these water bodies in included in various portions of this section.
The Vermillion River Watershed Wetland and Watercourse Inventory and Assessment within the
City of Rosemount is shown in Figure 17, Appendix A. This figure shows the wetland and
waterway classifications as defined by the Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District
(SWCD).
2.4.3. Hydrologic Modeling (Water Quantity)
The City’s hydrologic/hydraulic system consists of several land-locked depressions as the City
has no positive surface water outlet. As part of this Surface Water Management Plan, the City
has developed a trunk stormwater system outlet plan that will direct surface water east to the
Mississippi River and south through Shannon Pond and the southeastern tributary streams to the
Vermillion River. This proposed system in shown in Appendix D.
As part of the Plan update project, the City’s hydrologic/hydraulic model was updated to Atlas 14
conditions and to current land use. The hydrologic/hydraulic modeling effort quantifies the peak
discharge rates, outlet elevations, and other pertinent hydrologic/hydraulic information for
stormwater retention areas, and trunk stormwater conveyance systems within the City. A
summary of the modeling results and more detailed drainage system map is included as
Appendix D.
2.5. Flood Insurance Studies
A Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Study (FIS) was completed for
areas within the City in 1980 and was later updated in 2011. The Flood Insurance Study consists of a
study report, a set of floodway and floodplain delineation maps, and a set of Flood Insurance Rate Maps
(FIRM) maps. The FIRMs are available from the City Engineering Department. The floodplain
boundaries for the City are shown in Figure 6, Appendix A. The 100-year flood levels and peak
discharge rates based on the City’s model are included in Appendix D.
2.6. Locations of Key Water Resource Issues
A number of water resource issues/problems were identified within the City. Figure 3, Appendix A shows
the locations of these key water resource issue areas which have a specific geographic location. These
areas were identified through information obtained from City Advisory Committees and City Staff. City-
wide policy issues and problems have been listed in Section 4 but have not been include in Figure 3,
Appendix A.
More detailed information about these issues is available in Section 4 of this Plan.
2.7. Water Quality Data
2.7.1. Overview
Water quality data for the City has been obtained from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s
(MPCA) Environmental Data Access website. This database is utilized by participating agencies
to compile water quality testing data and is almost entirely used for the storage of water quality
parameters. Some of the available water quality information is summarized in Table 2-2:

2.7.2. City Water Quality Monitoring
The City started a water quality monitoring program in 2009 to fulfill multiple program
requirements of the City’s MS4 General Permit. The City monitors between nine to fifteen water
bodies a year for water quality parameters including total suspended solids, total phosphorus and
chloride. The City also monitors water levels, evaporation and infiltration rates on different water
bodies to help calibrate modeling and protect adjacent structures from flooding risks. Additional
information on the City’s water quality monitoring can be found on the City’s website.
2.7.3. Additional Water Quality Information
The City will also continue to support additional monitoring of surface waters within its
jurisdictional boundaries and for waters to which the City discharges that are outside these
boundaries. Data will obtained through cooperation and coordination with other various agencies,
including the MPCA, adjacent cities and townships, the Metropolitan Council, the DNR, VRWJPO
and Dakota County Environmental Services (DCES).
The DCES completed a subwatershed assessment for the waterbodies within the Lebanon Hills
Regional Park in 2017 to identify and prioritize watershed management solutions to improve the
water quality and ecological communities of the lakes within the park. The northwest corner of the
City eventually drains to either Jensen Lake or O’Brien Lake, two of the priority waterbodies
studied in the assessment. The City will work with the DCES and adjacent cities to achieve the
recommended TP load reductions of 10% and 5% to Jensen Lake and O’Brien Lake respectively.
2.8. Stormwater Asset Management Program (SWAMP)
The City uses WSB’s SWAMP to monitor stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) throughout the
City for water quality concerns. The program gives each BMP a score based on its estimated total
suspended soils and total phosphorus removal efficiencies using survey data. The City uses SWAMP to
determine which BMPs require maintenance and will be the most effective use of resources to restore.
2.9. Floodplain Management
The City has adopted a Floodplain District to provide floodplain management for the City. A copy of these
regulations can be found on the City’s website and are included in Appendix P. The intent of the
floodplain district is to reduce risk to public health, property, and general welfare. These regulations
prohibit uses or activities within the floodplain or floodway that include structures or fill or that obstruct
flood flows or cause increased flood elevations.
2.10. Shoreland Management
The City has adopted Shoreland Overlay Regulations. The purpose of these regulations is to protect
shoreland areas to preserve and enhance surface waters. A copy of these regulations can be found on
the City’s website and are included in Appendix P.

Table 2-3 lists the waterbodies and Figure 5, Appendix A shows the location of these waterbodies with
the Ordinary High Water Level (OHWL), if applicable.
2.11. Groundwater Appropriations
Within the City, groundwater wells serve the City and private water needs. Each of these wells has a
groundwater appropriation permit from the DNR. There are 16 active water supply wells in the City, all
are in the western half of the City. Most of the wells in the eastern half of the City are used for industrial or
agricultural purposes. Figure 14, Appendix A shows the types and locations of groundwater well sites
within the City. Appendix K includes a list of the groundwater appropriations permits within the City as
well as the historical pumping amounts for the last 7 years.
2.12. Groundwater Resource Data
Groundwater resource data for areas within the City is contained within the Dakota County Geologic Atlas
and the City’s Wellhead Protection Area Delineation report (Barr, 2002). The primary aquifers within the
City of Rosemount consist of the Prairie du Chien and Jordan aquifers. Information from the Geologic
Atlas and Wellhead Protection Plan (WHPP) indicate that the aquifers in Rosemount and Dakota County
generally flow to the northeast. This would indicate that Rosemount’s groundwater primarily discharges
to the Mississippi River. Figure 8, Appendix A shows the vulnerability of each of the Drinking Water
Supply Management Areas (DWSMA) as well as the wellhead protection areas within the City.
The Dakota County Comprehensive Plan (DC2030) contains information on the County’s natural systems
and land use and is currently the guiding document for groundwater protection in the County. The
County’s Comprehensive Plan is currently being updated (DC2040). Upon its adoption, anticipated in
February 2019, DC2040 will become the guiding document on groundwater protection. The City will
continue to work with Dakota County to protect groundwater resources.
The City’s WHPP discusses possible connections between surface water and groundwater in the City.
Tritium is an element associated with nuclear bomb testing in the 1950s and 60s and is used as a tracer
of surface water and groundwater interactions. Tritium is not a health concern, but trace amounts of
tritium found in the drinking water for the City indicates a likely surface water connection to groundwater.
Further discussion on the interaction between the surface water and groundwater can be found in Part II
of the WHPP which can be found on the City’s website.
2.13. Wellhead Protection
Three wellhead protection areas have been identified by the City. Two of these areas are located in the
western portion of the City and one area is located in the eastern portion of the City. Part I of the City’s
WHPP was completed in 2002, amended in 2010 and includes information on areas within the City where
wells and aquifers are vulnerable to impairment.
In 2012, Part II of the City’s WHPP Plan was completed. Part II of the WHPP discusses plans of action
the City will take to ensure risk of impairment to wells and aquifers within the City are minimized. The
plans of action discussed in Part II of the WHPP include educating landowners with private wells,
SECTION 2 Page 8
CITY OF ROSEMOUNT COMPREHENSIVE SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
subsurface sewage treatment systems (SSTS), or storage tanks the importance of controlling possible
contamination sources, working with other government entities to share information and create policies
that prevent contamination of aquifers, and working with Minnesota Department of Health to sample and
test for stable isotopes in existing and future mining areas.
2.14. Soils Information
The soils within the City area generally have high infiltration rates and are susceptible to erosion. The
hydrologic soil groups map is shown in Figure 9, Appendix A. The four soil classifications are defined as
follows:
Group A - These soils have high infiltration rates even when thoroughly wetted. The infiltration
rates range from 0.3 to 0.5 inches per hour. These soils consist chiefly of deep, well drained to
excessively drained sands and gravel. Group A soils have a high rate of water transmission,
therefore resulting in a low runoff potential.
Group B - These soils have moderate infiltration rates ranging from 0.15 to 0.30 inches per hour
when thoroughly wetted. Group B soils consist of deep moderately well to well drained soils with
moderately fine to moderately coarse textures.
Group C - These soils have slow infiltration rates ranging from 0.05 to 0.15 inches per hour when
thoroughly wetted. Group C have moderately fine to fine texture.
Group D - These soils have very slow infiltration rates ranging from 0 to 0.05 inches per hour
when thoroughly wetted. Group D soils are typically clay soils with high swelling potential, soils
with high permanent water table, soils with a clay layer at or near the surface, or shallow soils
over nearly impervious material.
The soils in the northwest and north central part of the City are from the Kingsley-Mahtomedi series and
are characterized as gently sloping to very steep, loamy, and silty textured soils. The Waukegan-
Wadens-Hawick association, which is common in the northeast and southern portion of the City, is
defined as level to very steep, silty, loamy, and sandy textured soils.
Additional information on the soil for the City is available in the Dakota County Soil Survey available at
City Hall.
2.15. Land Use and Public Utilities Services
The City’s land use practices include residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, and public and
private open space areas. Figure 10, Appendix A is a representation of the existing land use. Figure
11, Appendix A shows the future land use. Figure 12, Appendix A shows the zoning breakdown within
the City.
Most of the residences and businesses in the City are served by public water and sewer systems. The
City does, however, contain some SSTSs. Some of these sites are anticipated to be abandoned and
converted to city services in the next 10-20 years.
2.16. Public Areas for Water Based Recreation and Access
There are a number of water bodies that offer passive recreation such as walking, hiking, and bird
watching. Spring Lake Park Reserve is a County Park located in eastern Rosemount and is adjacent to
the Mississippi River. Spring Lake Park offers picnic shelters, community garden plots and miles of trails
for hiking. There are no public water accesses within the City.
The Rosemount Splash Pad which opened in 2014 is in Central Park and is open throughout the summer
SECTION 2 Page 9
CITY OF ROSEMOUNT COMPREHENSIVE SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
to residents. The Splash Pad is an aquatic park that has little to no standing water and offers residents
with smaller children a safe, fun place to play in the water during the summer. Other attractions at various
parks within the City include a disc golf course, off leash dog parks, a gaga ball pit, a skate park and an
amphitheater which can be rented out for private events.
Figure 19, Appendix A shows the location of City and regional parks and trails. Some of the regional
trails have not been constructed yet but are planned for the future. The figure also includes the alignment
for the planned Regional Bicycle Transportation Network.
2.17. Fish and Wildlife Habitat
The City provides habitat for a variety of small mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibians, and insects.
Maintenance of habitat for wildlife species is important in maintaining ecological stability of the City’s
natural areas.
The wetland inventory found in the City’s Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan, last amended
February 2013, (Appendix F) assesses a number of wetland functions such as floral diversity, wildlife
habitat, and fisheries habitat for each wetland.
The Wetland Health Evaluation Program (WHEP) engages volunteers throughout Dakota and Hennepin
counties to help monitor wetlands in their communities. The City will continue to participate and support
the WHEP to help keep residents involved and invested in the health of community wetlands.
Based on the information from the Minnesota County Biological Society (MCBS) and Natural Heritage
Database, there are a variety of unique wildlife habitats and rare species within the City, much of which
are located along the Mississippi River. Figure 18, Appendix A shows the location of the MCBS sites of
biological significance as well as the Mississippi River Critical Area and the Metropolitan Conservation
Corridor.
The wildlife habitat along the River consists of Oak Forest-Dry subtype, Floodplain Forest- Silver Maple
Subtype, and Dry Prairie-sand-gravel subtype. Other habitat in the City consists of Oak forest – mesic
subtype and Tamarack swamp. A number of rare or endangered species have been noted in the City
including Blanding’s turtles, Gopher snake, Fox snake, Red-shouldered hawk, and Loggerhead shrike.
The endangered plant James’ polanisia has been noted near the River.
The Mississippi River is the primary source of fish habitat in the City. Information from the DNR indicates
that Schwarz Pond has been consistently stocked with bluegill and walleye over the past ten years.
2.18. High Value Natural Areas, Unique Features and Scenic Areas
Unique features and scenic areas include State designated Scientific and Natural Areas, designated
scenic areas, areas containing rare and endangered species, biologically diverse areas, and historic
areas.
The City has many natural areas, water bodies, and city/regional parks. Some of these areas contain
rare and endangered species and special habitats as indicated above. The City has no Scientific and
Natural Areas or wild and scenic rivers as defined by the State.
The City does have a number of historical and architectural resources as identified by the Minnesota
State Historical Preservation Office. The sites and locations of these resources can be found in the
Water Resource Library.

SECTION 2 Page 11
CITY OF ROSEMOUNT COMPREHENSIVE SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
2.20. NPDES Phase II
The MPCA implemented the NPDES Phase II Stormwater Program in March 2003. Phase II requires
municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) in urban areas with populations over 10,000 and under
100,000 to obtain a General NPDES permit. The City has submitted its Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan (SWPPP) in conformance with the MPCA guidelines for the General NPDES permit. The 2013
reissuance application for the MS4 General Permit that was sent to the MPCA is included in Appendix J.
This reissuance application was accepted by the MPCA and the City is currently permitted under the
latest version of the MS4 General Permit.
Separately, construction sites greater than one acre are required to obtain a NPDES Construction
Stormwater General Permit.
SECTION 3 Page 1
CITY OF ROSEMOUNT COMPREHENSIVE SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
3. AGENCY COOPERATION
There are a number of other local, state, and federal agencies that have rules and regulations related to
stormwater management. Through this strategy, the City recognizes these other agencies’ role in this
endeavor and will cooperate and coordinate with these agencies as necessary.
This Plan is in conformance with but does not restate all other agency rules that are applicable to water
quality and natural resource protection. The other agency rules and policies include rules, policies, and
guidelines associated with the following organizations:
● Minnesota Department of Health
● Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
● Board of Water and Soil Resources and the Wetland Conservation Act
● Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
● US Army Corps of Engineers
● Minnesota Department of Agriculture
● US Fish and Wildlife Service
● Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization
● Dakota County SWCD
While these other agency rules, policies, and guidelines are not all restated in this Plan, they are
applicable to projects, programs, and planning within the City. The Minnesota Stormwater Manual, which
is a document intended to be frequently updated, is incorporated by reference into this Plan and can be
found on the MPCA’s website.
3.1. Personnel Contacts
To implement this plan, a coordinated water resource management approach must be used. This
approach utilizes the services of staff personnel within the City and surrounding communities, as well as
staff associated with the Watershed Management Organization having jurisdiction over areas within the
City. The Watershed Management Organization having jurisdiction within the City are shown on Figure
2, Appendix A.
The primary implementation responsibility will lie with the appropriate staff members at the City.
Assistance from the surrounding municipalities and Watershed Management Organizations will also be
expected. Outlined below are the names, addresses, telephone numbers, and website address for
personnel having responsibilities for overseeing or implementing various aspects of the Plan.

3.2. Future Outfall Cooperation
Overflow routes are proposed to both the Mississippi River and the Vermillion River through multiple
discharge points out of the City. The City will look to partner with MCES on part of this plan which
includes a draft proposed 80-year lease agreement with MCES to construct a temporary treated effluent
outfall as part of the MCES interceptor which will discharge water to the east into the Mississippi River.
This approach identifies using the excess capacity within the MCES outfall system to allow for up to a 50
cfs capacity stormwater overflow. To utilize this small discharge rate, the City requires storage of runoff
from the 100-year, 24-hour storm event for new development. For events with longer duration, a
maximum peak stormwater discharge rate will be limited to 0.05 cfs/acre. It is important to note that these
treatment areas do not utilize natural wetland areas to substitute for constructing stormwater ponds.
As development occurs, the City anticipates construction of a permanent stormwater trunk conveyance
system to the east located adjacent or near the proposed MCES outfall route. This system would be
designed to manage the discharge for the critical event limited to .05 cfs per acre from the upstream
drainage area (approx. 800 cfs).
In addition to the agreement with the MCES for use of excess capacity within the outfall system, the City
will also look to partner with neighboring communities and work with the VRWJPO to pursue and utilize
overflow routes to the south and east through Empire Township and Nininger Townships to the Vermillion
River, meeting the intercommunity flow standards the VRWJPO set with their 2014 watershed wide model
update.

4. PROBLEMS, KEY ISSUES, AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS
Outlined below is an assessment of existing and potential water resource-related problems that are
known at this time. These problems have been identified based on an analysis of the land and water
resource data collected as part of this plan preparation and through information from the City. A
description of any existing or potential problem within the topic area has been listed and future corrective
actions have been incorporated into an implementation plan.
Please note that problems/key issues identified in this section which have a specific geographic location
have been identified in Figure 3, Appendix A. City-wide policy issues have been also identified in this
section but have not been identified in Figure 3, Appendix A.
4.1. Lake and Stream Water Quality
1. The Mississippi River, Spring Lake, Farquar Lake, East Lake and the Vermillion River are
currently identified as impaired by the MPCA. It is unclear at this time what if any
implications the classification of the Mississippi River may have on the permitting status
of the stormwater overflow project. (Key Issue No. 17 in Figure 3, Appendix A)
Corrective Actions:
A. The South Metro Mississippi River Total Suspended Solids (TSS) TMDL addresses
reducing the TSS load within the Mississippi River and Spring Lake. The City will
comply with the TMDL requirement of an overall reduction of 20% in TSS loads to
these waterbodies.
B. The Vermillion River Watershed TMDL addresses bacteria and nutrient impairments
for the watershed to meet State water quality standards. The City will comply with the
TMDL’s requirements of maintaining the existing phosphorus loading to the
Vermillion River and reducing TP loads to East Lake by 42%. The City will work with
the MCPA, Dakota County, the VRWJPO and adjacent cities to promote and educate
the community on improved fertilizer and manure application to reduce phosphorus
loads to the Vermillion River Lower Mainstem. The City will work with agricultural
landowners to identify opportunities for installation of water and sediment control
basins, grassed waterways, contour farming or other conservation BMPs to improve
upland/field surface runoff routed to the Vermillion River Lower Mainstem.
C. The Lower Vermillion River Watershed Turbidity TMDL addresses reducing the TSS
load to the Vermillion River to address turbidity concerns. The City will comply with
the TMDL’s requirement of maintaining the existing TSS load to the Vermillion River.
D. The Long and Farquar Lakes Nutrient TMDL addresses reducing the phosphorus
load to the two lakes to address the excess nutrient and eutrophication problems in
the lakes. The City will comply with the TMDL’s requirement of maintaining their
existing phosphorus loading to Farquar Lake.
E. Pursue grant programs for volunteer monitoring program on these waterbodies.
2. The DCES completed a subwatershed assessment for the waterbodies within the
Lebanon Hills Regional Park in 2017 to identify and prioritize watershed management
solutions to improve the water quality and ecological communities of the lakes within the
park. A portion of the northwest corner of the City was drains to either Jensen Lake or
CITY OF ROSEMOUNT COMPREHENSIVE SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
SECTION 4 Page 2
O’Brien Lake, and was included in the subwatershed assessment. (Key Issue No. 18 in
Figure 3, Appendix A)
Corrective Actions:
A. The City will work with the DCES and adjacent cities to achieve the recommended
TP load reductions of 10% and 5% to Jensen Lake and O’Brien Lake respectively.
3. In 2007, the City was required by the MPCA to complete a loading assessment and a
nondegradation report. The report estimates change in TSS and TP from development
since 1988 and future loading with development that could occur by 2020.
Corrective Actions:
A. The report concluded the current City standard meets the nondegradation standard
for annual runoff volumes, phosphorus loads, and TSS loads on a City-wide basis
between 1990 and 2020. Therefore, no impacts are expected to occur, and a
mitigation plan is not necessary.
B. The City will continue to require new developments to store the 100-year, 24-hour
storm on-site. This, coupled with the City’s other existing policies for runoff reduction
and water quality BMPs, will ensure that the vast majority of runoff volumes and
pollutant loads will be retained on-site for new developments.
C. As TMDLs are developed, loading reductions will be prioritized through any
wasteload allocations assigned. The City will continue to use this Nondegradation
Report as a reference. The report can be found on the City’s website.
4. Need to implement the City’s Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan.
Corrective Actions:
A. Continue LGU responsibilities under WCA and Comprehensive Wetland
Management Plan.
B. The City has a limited number of naturally occurring wetlands, most being in the
northwest corner of the City. The City places a high priority on maintaining and
improving the quality of the few naturally occurring wetlands it has.
C. Update the City’s Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan to be in compliance
with the VRWJPO’s wetland buffer requirements.
D. Continue to participate in the WHEP program as identified in the Comprehensive
Wetland Management Plan.
5. Need to consider the potential use, location and level of protection for various water
quality treatment methods to provide additional water quality treatment upstream of
impaired and various other waterbodies.
Corrective Actions:
A. The City will look for opportunities to install various water quality treatment methods
to improve the quality of impaired or other waterbodies. Possible water quality
treatments to be considered include water reuse, iron fillings, alum treatment, or
CITY OF ROSEMOUNT COMPREHENSIVE SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
SECTION 4 Page 3
filtration benches among others.
6. Algae can be an issue in storm ponds and lakes and prompt resident complaints.
Corrective Actions:
A. The City will implement resident education in collaboration with VRWJPO on lawn
fertilization and its contribution to phosphorus loading and algae growth in water
bodies. The City will also work to educate residents on the importance of installing
and maintaining buffers around storm ponds, lakes and wetlands.
B. The City will look for prioritize pond inspection and maintenance activities in
accordance with its Storm Water Asset Management Program (SWAMP) and MS4
General Permit SWPPP.
7. The possibility of contamination exists when there are connections between groundwater
and surface water.
Corrective Actions:
C. To protect groundwater, the City will follow the objectives and plan of action as
identified in its Wellhead Protection Plan. The most recent Wellhead Protection Plan
can be found on the City’s website. Guidance from the MDH will be followed to
determine the applicability of infiltration in the DSWMAs. The City will collaborate with
Dakota County and the VRWJPO to protect this resource as feasible.
4.2. Flooding and Stormwater Rate Control
1. The City of Rosemount does not have an overflow for stormwater to exit a large portion of
the City. The City has developed the proposed overflow project to the Mississippi River
identified in this Plan, which includes a draft proposed 80-year lease agreement with
MCES to construct a temporary treated effluent outfall as part of the MCES interceptor
and discharge of water to the east into the Mississippi River. This approach uses the
excess capacity within the MCES outfall system to allow for up to a 50 cfs capacity
stormwater overflow. To utilize this small discharge rate, the City requires storage of
runoff from the 100-year, 24-hour storm event for new development. For events with
longer duration, a maximum peak stormwater discharge rate will be limited to 0.05
cfs/acre. It is important to note that these treatment areas do not utilize natural wetland
areas to substitute for constructing stormwater ponds. As development occurs, the City
anticipates construction of a permanent stormwater trunk conveyance system to the east
located adjacent or near the proposed MCES outfall route. This system would be
designed to manage the discharge for the critical event limited to 0.05 cfs per acre from
the upstream drainage area (approx. 800 cfs).
This issue has been identified in previous plans, including the 2003 Rosemount SWMP.
(Key Issue No. 5 in Figure 3, Appendix A)
Corrective Action:
A. Construct west portion of stormwater trunk line (Segment D – construct Basin #1816
outlet (Connemara Trl and Akron Ave) to #1787).
B. Construct middle portion of stormwater trunk line (construct trunk line from Basin
#1787 to #1599 and 2391 Flint Hills Resources).
CITY OF ROSEMOUNT COMPREHENSIVE SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
SECTION 4 Page 4
C. Construction eastern portion of stormwater trunk line (construct trunk line from #2391
Flint Hills Resources to Mississippi River).
The construction of the overflow will be phased, with portions of the project
constructed as part of the development, City’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and
other segments incorporated along either the MCES outfall system or along the
future Connemara Trail alignment. The timing for final completion of the overflow may
require implementation of interim projects to provide some overflow capabilities.
2. The City is currently in discussions with Flint Hills Resources relating to construction of a
regional ponding treatment area located within the southwestern portion of the Flint Hills
Resources property. The purpose of this regional ponding area would be to provide
water quality, rate control and volume control before overflow into proposed MCES
treated effluent outfall system.
The City will work to secure easements and obtain agreements for the construction of this
proposed ponding area located near the trunk system on Flint Hills Resources property,
possibly near Basin #1599. The final parameters related to the use and longevity of this
system will be further determined as agreements with MCES and Flint Hills Resources
are discussed. (Key issue No. 1 in Figure 3, Appendix A)
Corrective Action:
A. Develop agreement and construct regional treatment and infiltration pond located on
Flint Hills Resources property.
3. The City of Rosemount does not have an overflow for stormwater to exit the City. The
City is pursuing an agreement with MCES regarding specific use and discharge
parameters for a temporary treated effluent outfall to the Mississippi River identified in
this Plan, which includes a draft proposed 80-year lease agreement with MCES to
construct a stormwater outfall system to the Mississippi River. (Key Issue No. 13 in
Figure 3, Appendix A)
Corrective Action:
A. The City proposes an interim stormwater trunk system as part of the proposed MCES
treated effluent outfall. This proposed combined system will be constructed as part of
the MCES treated effluent outfall and will incorporate the necessary capacity to
provide the City with capacity to implement the City’s proposed stormwater
management plan and overflow system for the City. It is anticipated that the City will
be authorized a peak discharge rate of up to 50 cfs. The proposed outlet structure at
this facility may require monitoring to evaluate discharge rate and water quality
parameters. Point of connection to the MCES outfall is projected to be near the old
Rosemount Wastewater treatment plant off 140th street east of TH 52.
4. The City currently contains approximately 100-150 landlocked depressions (as identified
in Figure 3, Appendix A) the majority of which do not have natural overflows and do not
discharge to downstream waterbodies. These depressions are anticipated to experience
increased inundation as development occurs or during wet periods.
CITY OF ROSEMOUNT COMPREHENSIVE SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
SECTION 4 Page 5
Corrective Action:
A. The City will update the existing temporary dewatering plan based on Atlas 14
modeling and revised flood protection elevations to be implemented during large
storm events to provide relief for landlocked basins which otherwise would have the
potential to flood adjacent or downstream structures. The updated temporary
dewatering plan, once completed, will be utilized as an interim solution for some of
the problems presented in Section 4.2 and will be included in Appendix P when
completed.
B. The City will investigate these basins and provide overflows or manage water
elevations as outlined in the City’s Stormwater Model. Many of these basins will
ultimately be provided overflows upon completion of new developments in the area.
Any overflows from these basins will comply with the City’s for rate control, runoff
volume control and low floor requirements including storing runoff from the 100-year,
24-hour storm event for new development and restricting discharge for events with
longer duration to a maximum peak stormwater discharge rate of 0.05 cfs/acre. The
above mentioned City standards assure that proposed overflows will comply with
VRWJPO standards, including but not limited to the drainage alternation standards
identified in Section 9 of the VRWJPO standards.
5. Several basins located northwest of Keegan Lake do not have an outlet or overflow. The
City has determined the need to pursue a possible overflow to discharge water to south
into Keegan Lake and ultimately into the City trunk storm sewer system. (Key Issue No.
8 in Figure 3, Appendix A)
Corrective Action:
A. The City will utilize temporary dewatering in the interim until outlets have been
constructed for the landlocked basins. The City will update the existing temporary
dewatering plan based on Atlas 14 modeling and revised flood protection elevations
to be implemented during large storm events to provide relief for landlocked basins
which otherwise would have the potential to flood adjacent or downstream structures.
B. The Keegan Lake Drainage Improvements Feasibility Report was completed in 2009
and updated in 2017 to providing emergency outlets to many of the landlocked
basins upstream of Keegan Lake. The City will construct storm sewer system for
basins northwest of Keegan Lake (Basins #1521, 1465, 1435, 1355, 1405, 1482) and
construct overflow to Keegan Lake as recommended in the 2017 feasibility report.
6. There is a 153 acre subwatershed located within the southeast corner of the City that is
proposed to discharge directly into the Vermillion River. (Key issue No. 15 in Figure 3,
Appendix A)
Corrective Action:
A. As development occurs in the southeast corner the City will implement new
development guidelines for this area to capture additional runoff from new
impervious. Intercommunity flowrates that have been established by the VRWJPO
will be enforced.
7. Shannon Pond is a landlocked stormwater basin in southwest Rosemount just northwest
of the intersection of Shannon Parkway and 160th Street West. The pond currently
receives direct drainage from existing neighborhoods north of the pond within Rosemount
totaling approximately 143 acres. The City has identified the need for an overflow from
CITY OF ROSEMOUNT COMPREHENSIVE SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
SECTION 4 Page 6
Shannon Pond to maintain stormwater storage. The City desires to work with VRWJPO
and Empire Township to explore an increase in the determined 2016 intercommunity flow
standard discharging stormwater south across CSAH 46 into Empire Township (Barton
Sand & Gravel Co. ponding areas)
A lift station was previously proposed from Shannon Pond as an overflow/stormwater
trunk system to discharge to the east into either Basin 2302 or Basin 2274 and ultimately
to the northeast into the MCES/City overflow system. . (Key Issue No. 6 in Figure 3,
Appendix A)
Corrective Action:
A. Construct storm sewer overflow improvements from Shannon Pond across CSAH 46
into Empire Township. This will require further permitting with VRWJPO, US Army
Corps of Engineers, Minnesota DNR, MPCA, Empire Township, along with private
property owners to gain any necessary easements.
B. Alternatively, if the overflow across CSAH 46 is determined not feasible or cannot be
permitted, complete a feasibility study for a lift station outlet that will connect into
trunk storm sewer system to the east. This would include determining the preferred
downstream routing through the Business Park Pond drainage system (Basin 1990)
into the Meadows of Bloomfield Development (Basin 1864) or along the west side of
the UMore property.
8. Wachter Pond is a landlocked basin and as such, has experienced high water elevations
due to development of the upstream conveyance system. The City’s hydrologic model
that indicates low building opening elevations within the subwatershed are lower than the
100-year peak elevation for a 100-year, 10-day runoff event. The City has recently
established an operational plan once water level exceeds elevation 910 which includes
frequent monitoring and temporary pumping. (Key Issue No. 9 in Figure 3, Appendix A)
Corrective Action:
A. Until a downstream overflow system to the Mississippi River is constructed, water
level on Wachter Pond can be managed consistent with operation plan by directing
discharge to designated infiltration area south of the Business Park. Water could
also be directed to an infiltration system (Basin #2274) to the east. This will require
easements and/or a cooperative agreement to accommodate this discharge.
Infiltration will be the primary mechanism to address the Wachter Pond issues until
the downstream overflow system is constructed.
9. The existing Business Park Pond (Basin #1990) is landlocked. Development of the
upstream watershed is anticipated to increase the volume of water being directed to the
Business Park Pond and increase the need for an overflow from the basin. (Key Issue
No. 10 in Figure 3, Appendix A)
Corrective Action:
A. The City will utilize temporary dewatering in the interim until an outlet has been
constructed for Business Park Pond. The City will update the existing temporary
dewatering plan based on Atlas 14 modeling and revised flood protection elevations
to be implemented during large storm events to provide relief for landlocked basins
which otherwise would have the potential to flood adjacent or downstream structures.
CITY OF ROSEMOUNT COMPREHENSIVE SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
SECTION 4 Page 7
B. Construct selected option to provide overflow and storm system either through
construction of lift station outlet for Business Park Pond (Basin #1990) and /or
downstream trunk along 150th Street to the east or along west side of UMore area
and ultimately into proposed stormwater trunk system.
10. Continue discussion related stormwater management and overflow framework/policies for
basins located in the Central and eastern portion of the University of Minnesota
Outreach, Research and Education (UMore) property. The City anticipates that future
development or redevelopment within this area will be implemented in a manner
consistent with the standards and policies in the SWMP. (Key Issue No. 12 in Figure 3,
Appendix A).
Corrective Action:
A. The City adopted the UMore Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) in 2013 to
be used as a planning tool for the UMore property. The City will continue to
collaborate on stormwater management and overflow/pumping options for landlocked
basins located on central/eastern portion of UMore property with representatives from
UMore as the AUAR gets updated every five years.
12. Areas in Lebanon Hills Regional Park (LHRP) in Eagan are experiencing increased
inundation. Under existing conditions, the City of Rosemount directs stormwater from less
than 700 acres into the LHRP. Staff from the VRWJPO, Dakota County and Cities of
Apple Valley, Rosemount and Eagan have worked towards solutions for the ongoing
issues that have occurred within the LHRP and the City of Eagan. As part of the City’s
responsibilities associated with this proposed agreement, the City will implement lateral
drainage improvements along 120th Street within the Lebanon Hills Watershed consistent
with this agreement and the City’s Comprehensive Plan as development occurs in the
area. In addition, the City will require infiltration systems to be constructed consistent
with its stormwater policies as part of any redevelopment in the area to reduce the
volume of runoff generated from the watershed in the future. (Key Issue No. 2 in Figure
3, Appendix A)
Corrective Action:
A. The City, VRWJPO, Dakota County and Cities of Apple Valley and Eagan have
reached an agreement to finance construction of an overflow project to relieve high
water issues in LHRP, which has been included in Appendix B and as identified in
this appendix is incorporated into this Plan by reference.
B. Implement above mentioned lateral drainage improvements along 120th Street for
Basins 1012 and 1009 per the agreement between the City and Dakota
County/VRWJPO as development occurs in the area. The agreement defined in
Appendix B, between City and Dakota County/VRWJPO regarding partnership and
collaboration on Lebanon Hills Drainage Projects is incorporated into this Plan by
reference.
13. Schwarz Pond currently overflows to the east into basin 1770 through a lift station outlet
with a peak discharge rate of 6.8 cfs. The City has established an operational plan once
water level exceeds elevation 924.5 which includes frequent monitoring and temporary
pumping. However, given current pump capacity, the 10-day critical event may become a
concern related to freeboard protection of the nearby Rosemount High School. (Key
Issue No. 11 in Figure 3, Appendix A)
CITY OF ROSEMOUNT COMPREHENSIVE SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
SECTION 4 Page 8
Corrective Action:
A. The City will continue to work with Rosemount High School on floodproofing
measures in the interim while the best long-term solution is decided.
B. Complete feasibility study to determine design parameter and costs related to
construction of additional lift station or of increasing the capacity of the existing lift
station at Schwarz Pond.
C. Construct additional Schwarz Pond lift station outlet or increase the capacity of the
existing Schwarz Pond lift station.
14. The City currently does not have an inter-community agreement to manage inter-
community flows from the City of Coates into the City. (Key Issue No. 16 in Figure 3,
Appendix A).
Corrective Action:
A. The City will consider pursuing working with the City of Coates and the VRWJPO to
develop an intergovernmental agreement to account for the discharge into the City
from the City of Coates consistent with the VRWJPO’s allocated intercommunity
flows.
15. The Area located north of CSAH 42 in the Central Portion of the City was studied as part
of the CSAH 42/Akron AUAR. As this area develops, applicants will be required to
construct a stormwater trunk overflow systems to be installed as part of the developers
agreements. It is anticipated that this overflow will be designed to discharge the
necessary capacity consistent with City rate control requirements and the City’s SWMP.
(Key Issue No. 3 in Figure 3, Appendix A)
Corrective Action:
A. Construct overflow from CSAH 42/AUAR area to the East consistent with Problem
4.2.1.
16. Erickson Pond is a landlocked basin. The estimated high water elevation for the pond
has been identified at an elevation at or near the adjacent existing low building elevations
on Burgundy Court. (Key Issue No. 14 in Figure 3, Appendix A)
Corrective Action:
A. The City will utilize temporary dewatering in the interim until an outlet has been
constructed for the Erickson Pond. The City will update the existing temporary
dewatering plan based on Atlas 14 modeling and revised flood protection elevations
to be implemented during large storm events to provide relief for landlocked basins
which otherwise would have the potential to flood adjacent or downstream structures.
B. Complete feasibility study to investigate design options and cost related to installation
of a lift station at Erickson Pond.
C. Construct Erickson Pond Lift Station Outlet and downstream storm system to Basin
#2474.
17. Basin 1213 (near CR 38) is landlocked, has experienced high water in the past and is
identified to overflow during extreme events to the north into the LHRP. The City has
CITY OF ROSEMOUNT COMPREHENSIVE SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
SECTION 4 Page 9
identified a series of interconnected gravity overflows from Basin 1213 which would
redirect discharge to the south and into Marcotte Pond. (Key Issue No. 7 in Figure 3,
Appendix A)
Corrective Action:
A. The City will utilize temporary dewatering in the interim until an outlet has been
constructed for the landlocked basin. The City will update the existing temporary
dewatering plan based on Atlas 14 modeling and revised flood protection elevations
to be implemented during large storm events to provide relief for landlocked basins
which otherwise would have the potential to flood adjacent or downstream structures.
B. Investigate the need to and construct as needed an overflow lift station system from
Basin 1213 to Marcotte Pond.
18. White Lake and School House Lake are currently landlocked. The estimated high water
level has been estimated at an elevation that may cause flooding concerns to the
adjacent properties. (Key Issue No. 19 in Figure 3, Appendix A)
Corrective Action:
A. The City will utilize temporary dewatering in the interim until an outlet has been
constructed for the landlocked basins. The City will update the existing temporary
dewatering plan based on Atlas 14 modeling and revised flood protection elevations
to be implemented during large storm events to provide relief for landlocked basins
which otherwise would have the potential to flood adjacent or downstream structures.
B. Construct an outlet from the lakes to Basin 1280 to Basin 1403 and ultimately to
Basin 1424.
4.3. Erosion and Sediment Control
1. During significant rainfall events, soil erosion (particularly from construction sites), has
carried sediment to water bodies within the City. Sediment deposits reduce the depth of
water and degrade the quality of water within a basin.
Corrective Action:
A. Continue to monitor and repair erosion control measures as required pursuant to the
SWPPP within the City. (See Appendix J for a summary of the City’s SWPPP)
B. Implement City SWPPP including but not limited to the public education program
consistent with the City SWPPP. (See Appendix J for a summary of the City’s
SWPPP). The City will also continue to implement the Erosion and Sediment Control
ordinance.
4.4. Impact on Water Resources from Land Use Practices and
Development
1. City needs to continue to educate residents on water resource issues as a result of
urbanization.
CITY OF ROSEMOUNT COMPREHENSIVE SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
SECTION 4 Page 10
Corrective Action:
A. The public education program will educate the residents, developers, City Staff, and
City Officials on the impact of land use practices on stormwater management
pursuant to the City’s SWPPP education program.
2. Aesthetics, undesirable odors and unwanted vegetation in and around stormwater
management features can be a concern for City residents, specifically around Wachter
Pond. The City recognizes that policies that more clearly identify requirements and
responsibilities for maintenance, landscaping easements and ponding side slope areas
around stormwater ponds/depressions would be beneficial. These additional policies will
clarify the City’s responsibilities versus landowners or HOAs and should aid in addressing
concerns about invasive plants, aesthetics, and maintenance of wildlife and natural
corridors.
Corrective Action:
A. City will review and make recommendations for updating/clarifying policy for
landscaping, allowable vegetation and expectations for vegetation management and
maintenance around stormwater facilities.
B. The City will work to educate landowners on the importance of installing and
maintaining buffers around storm ponds, lakes and wetlands.
C. The City will continue to install and will require new developers to install signage in
and around wetland buffers where appropriate to be in compliance with the City’s
Wetland Management Plan.
D. Implement stormwater system maintenance plan consistent with City SWPPP.
4.5. Adequacy of Existing Regulations to Address Adverse
Impacts on Local Water Resources
1. The City of Rosemount is in the process of exploring the benefits, drawbacks, costs
effectiveness and feasibility of various stormwater management treatment methods.
Several alternative stormwater management /low impact development (LID) techniques
have been explored to determine how these practices fit with the City’s existing approach
to stormwater management. The City will pursue development of policies on
implementation of alternative stormwater management/LID practices, source control and
infiltration policies within the Surface Water Management Plan. Particularly for those
existing developed areas constructed before the onset of existing requirements, the City
will pursue the use of on-site alternative BMPs, such as rain gardens and vegetative
swales, to meet the City’s infiltration and rate control requirements. For many existing
developed areas use of raingardens and related practices is a cost-effective and practical
alternative to improving water quality and reducing discharge volumes over existing
conditions.
Corrective Action:
A. Develop LID education program. Hold a series of workshops for residents.
B. Establish a cost share program to create voluntary demonstration sites incorporating
“alternative” BMPs.
CITY OF ROSEMOUNT COMPREHENSIVE SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
SECTION 4 Page 11
2. The City is a designated MS4 community for the NPDES permit. The City has
incorporated appropriate educational components, all required BMPs and measurable
goals associated with each. The City will implement the 34 required BMPs as required
by this program.
Corrective Action:
A. Develop and implement NPDES Phase II (as defined in Appendix J).
B. Develop and implement non-degradation requirements.
4.6. Identification of Potential Problems to Occur in the Next 20
Years
1. The City will pursue development of policies on implementation of alternative stormwater
management/LID practices, source control and infiltration policies within the Surface
Water Management Plan.
Corrective Action:
A. Complete hands-on resident education program and workshops to educate on LID
techniques.
2. Determining the performance of existing stormwater facilities throughout the City.
Corrective Action:
A. Included in the City’s SWPPP are established BMPs aimed at storm sewer inspection
and maintenance training programs. The City is to inspect all City-owned ponds and
outfalls prior to the expiration of the current SWPP and all structural pollution control
devices (sumps, water quality manholes, etc.). The City will also conduct quarterly
inspections of all stockpile, storage, and material handling areas. The City will
evaluate records to determine if inspection frequency should be increased or
decreased. More information on the City’s stormwater maintenance and inspection
program can be found in the SWPPP located in Appendix J.
3. Determining the need for pond sediment removal projects.
Corrective Action:
A. The City will implement WSB’s SWAMP to monitor stormwater BMPs for water
quality concerns. The program estimates total suspended solids and total
phosphorus removal efficiencies based on survey information. The City will use
SWAMP to determine which BMPs require maintenance and will be the most
effective use of City resources.
4. Increasing prevalence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in stormwater ponds
from runoff of roads and other surfaces.
Corrective Action:
A. The City will identify stormwater ponds that are contaminated and follow protocol for
disposal of dredged material. The City also bans the use of materials that contain
CITY OF ROSEMOUNT COMPREHENSIVE SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
SECTION 4 Page 12
PAHs for paved surfaces for future development and redevelopment.
5. Increasing prevalence of chloride in surface and groundwater in the Twin Cities from road
salt runoff from roadways and other impervious surfaces.
Corrective Action:
A. The City will work to implement preventative measures to reduce the chloride runoff
before it reaches surface and/or groundwater. The City will continue to record and
review the annual activities of the salt distribution program and adjust current
practices as necessary. Other measures may include education and outreach for salt
applicators (commercial or private), promote winter best practices, partnering with the
VRWJPO for training, and other initiatives noted in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area
Chloride Management Plan.
4.7. Availability and Adequacy of Existing Technical
Information to Manage Water Resources
1. The City acknowledges that additional technical and background information is required
to efficiently and effectively anticipate infiltration rates in the City.
Corrective Action:
A. Continue implementation of ongoing infiltration monitoring program.

5. ESTABLISHMENT OF GOALS AND POLICIES
The City has developed a number of goals, strategies, and policies for the management of stormwater
within the City. These goals and policies have been developed to complement any county, regional, or
state goals and policies. The goals of the City are as follows:
1. Minimize public capital expenditures needed to correct flooding and water quality
problems.
2. Identify and plan for means to effectively protect and improve surface and groundwater
quality.
3. Prevent erosion of soil into surface water systems.
4. Promote groundwater recharge.
5. Protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitat and water recreational facilities.
6. Secure the other benefits associated with the proper management of surface and ground
water.
7. Improve resilience to changing precipitation and temperature patterns.
To order to achieve the City’s goals for managing stormwater, four strategies were developed. These
strategies will assist the City in targeting its main audiences for the purposes of stormwater management
as follows:
Strategies
Cooperation with other agencies This strategy recognizes that the City is not alone in managing
stormwater within its boundaries. There are a number of other local, state, and federal agencies that also
have rules and regulations related to stormwater management. Through this strategy, the City has
recognized these other agencies’ role in this endeavor and will cooperate and coordinate with these
agencies as necessary.
Education: This strategy includes educating various groups within the City about proper stormwater
management. Education of residents, City Staff, City Council, business owners, and developers is
included in this strategy to assist in meeting the City’s goals.
Regulation: Much of stormwater management comes in the form of regulations put on new or
redevelopment within the City. These regulations will also assist the City in achieving their stormwater
management goals. Policies related to the management of stormwater are included in the regulation
strategy.
Internal operations: The final strategy relates to the internal operations of the City. By outlining policies
related to how the City’s operations will treat and manage stormwater, the City can work to achieve its
stormwater management goals.
CITY OF ROSEMOUNT COMPREHENSIVE SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
SECTION 5 Page 2
The City has identified target audiences for the polices outlined in each strategy. The target audiences
and strategies are as follows:
AUDIENCE STRATEGY
Public – Residents and Business Owners Education, Regulation
City Staff and City Council Cooperation, Education, Operation
Developers Education, Regulation
Review Agencies Cooperation
Based on the target audience and the strategy, the City has developed a number of policies. These
policies are outlined below.
5.1. Cooperation with Other Agencies
The City and VRWJPO established an agreement in 2007 for financial participation in the Lebanon Hills
Regional Park Stormwater overflow project and to address issues related to distribution of revenues
generated within the City of Rosemount. The Cost Share Joint Powers Agreement can be found in
Appendix B.
The City will be maintaining full LGU and stormwater permitting authority for all water resources and
wetland related programs. The City does not anticipate the need to submit proposed land development
plans to the VRWJPO for review and permitting unless an application for the use and development of
land requires an amendment to or variance from the City's adopted Surface Water Management Plan or
implement program or if plans include one of the following:
1. Diversions
2. Intercommunity flows (to or from)
3. Project site size of 40 acres or more
4. Activities directly adjacent to the Vermillion River, its tributaries, a lake, or protected wetland
Agency rules, policies, and guidelines are not restated in this Plan, but are applicable to projects,
programs, and planning within the City. The Minnesota Stormwater Manual, which is a document
intended to be frequently updated, is incorporated by referenced into this Plan.

5.2. Education
The purpose of the education strategy in meeting the City’s goals is to foster responsible water quality
management practices by educating residents, business owners, City Staff, City Council, and developers
about proper stormwater management. If these targeted audiences recognize their role in responsible
stormwater management in their homes, businesses, and practices, it is another means for the City to
meet its goals. This education strategy has also been designed to be in conformance with the NPDES

and the minimum building opening be maintained. Any deviation from the
3 feet freeboard requirement is subject to the following conditions and
could be approved by the City Engineer if the following can be
demonstrated:
· That within the 2-foot freeboard area, stormwater storage is available
which is equal to or exceeds 50% of the stormwater storage currently
available in the basin below the 100-year high water elevation.
· That a 25% obstruction of the basin outlet over a 24-hour period would
not result in more than 1 foot of additional bounce in the basin.
· An adequate overflow route from the basin is available that will provide
assurance that 1 foot of freeboard will be maintained for the proposed

Water Quality Treatment
1 Treatment of stormwater to the Nationwide Urban Runoff Program (NURP)
guidelines prior to discharge to wetlands and waterbodies classified as
Preserve and Manage 1 as outlined in the City’s Comprehensive Wetland
Management Plan and infiltration basins. The NURP guidelines for the
design of stormwater 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. Basin side slopes above the normal water level should be no steeper
than 3:1, and preferably flatter. A basin shelf with a minimum width of
10 feet and 1 foot deep below the normal water level is recommended
to enhance wildlife habitat, reduce potential safety hazards, and
improve access for long-term maintenance.
D. The pond should be wedge shaped with the inlet at the narrowest end
and the outlet at the widest end. A length to width ratio of 3:1 or
greater shall be used whenever possible. Distance between outfalls
and outlets should be maximized.
Developers
2 Sediment and nutrient pretreatment shall be provided to the extent
necessary as outlined in the City’s Comprehensive Wetland Management
Plan in Appendix F.

3 The City will require skimmers in the construction of new pond outlets, and
add skimmers to the existing system whenever feasible and practical.
Skimmer design shall provide for skimmers that extend a minimum of 6
inches below the water surface and minimize the velocities of water
passing under the skimmer to less than 0.5 feet per second for 1-year
rainfall events. A skimmer detail is shown on Appendix O.

6. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
6.1. Implementation Priorities
Based on the information developed in Sections 2 through 5, the City has developed this Surface Water
Management Plan that reflects the needs and concerns of the City Council, City Staff, citizens, and the
funding capabilities of the City. A prioritized listing of the studies, programs and capital improvements
that have been identified as necessary to respond to the water resource needs within the City is outlined
on the following tables. The City anticipates implementing at least to some extent the regulatory
programs, studies, or improvements identified within this plan within the next 10 years. Following
VRWJPO approval of this Plan, the City must amend its official controls within 180 days of plan approval
(Minnesota Statutes 103B.235 Subd. 4).
The City has developed a method to prioritize capital improvement projects. A three-tiered approach has
been adopted that prioritizes projects as “High”, “Medium”, or “Low”. This method is based on the
following criteria:
High Priority: Projects meet one or more of the following criteria:
· Projects with the highest benefit relative to project cost.
· Projects that should be completed soon to meet regulatory or permit requirements.
· Projects that are needed to address significant public safety concerns.
· Projects addressing existing high water level issues
· Projects connected with the trunk line extension improvements and/or MCES agreement
· Projects that are needed to finish or upgrade the construction of the City’s stormwater
infrastructure system to meet long-term improvement plans.
· Projects that should be constructed now so as to be in conjunction with other projects that will
result in a reduction in cost or impact to the public.
· Projects for which funding is now available or will be available in the next few years.
Medium Priority: Projects meet one or more of the following criteria:
· Projects with a high benefit relative to project cost.
· Projects that must be completed soon, but not immediately to meet regulatory or permit
requirements.
· Projects that are needed to address public safety concerns.
· Projects with high water level issues that are driven by development planned within the next
ten years
· Projects that will address identified water quality concerns within the City
· Projects that are needed to finish or upgrade the construction of the City’s stormwater
infrastructure system to meet long term improvement plans, but timing for construction should
be delayed to accommodate other planning or project work.
CITY OF ROSEMOUNT COMPREHENSIVE SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
SECTION 4 Page 2
· Projects that should be constructed soon and/or scheduled so as to be in conjunction with
other projects that will result in a reduction in cost or impact to the public.
Low Priority: These projects meet the criteria listed above, but are not urgent, have lower Benefit to
Cost Ratios, can be delayed until other work can be done at the same time, or must be delayed until
funds become available. These projects also included high water level issues that are driven by
development planned further than 10 years out. These might also include general water quality projects.
Table 6-1 contains Stormwater CIP projects, Stormwater Management Programs, and Stormwater
Management Studies. Figure 3, Appendix A identifies the locations of site specific projects and
programs contained in Table 6-1. The costs associated with these items reflect year 2018 costs and do
not take into account inflation. These tables are for planning and budgeting purposes and are considered
rough estimates. It is anticipated that these cost estimates will be reviewed annually and updated as
needed.
6.2. Financial Considerations
Implementation of the proposed regulatory controls, programs and improvements that are identified in this
plan will have a financial impact on the City. To establish how significant this impact will be, a review of
the means and ability of the City to fund these controls, programs and improvements is necessary.
Toward this end, please find outlined below a listing of various sources of revenue that the City will
endeavor to implement the water resource management efforts outlined in this plan.
For the next ten years, the capital improvement projects are estimated to cost approximately
$23,000,000. The stormwater management program costs are estimated at about $6,400,000. The
stormwater studies are estimated to cost about $60,000. Over this 10-year period, these projects,
programs, and studies are estimated to cost about $29,600,000. Any projects, studies, and programs
and the associated funding are subject to City Council approval.

6.3. Amendment Procedures
It is the intention of the City to have the Surface Water Management Plan reviewed and approved by the
Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Board. Once approved, no significant changes to this plan can
be facilitated without the approval of the proposed revisions by the Watershed Management
Organizations within the City that are affected by the change. Significant changes to the local plan shall
be made known to the following parties:
1. City Administrator and City Engineer
2. Affected Watershed Management Organizations and Watershed Districts within the City
3. Metropolitan Council
4. Public within the City through a public hearing process
Following notification of the above parties, they shall have 60 days to comment on the proposed
revisions. The Metropolitan Council shall have 45 days to comment on the revisions. Failure to respond
within 60 days constitutes approval. Upon receipt of approvals from the affected Watershed Management
Organizations and Watershed Districts within the City, any proposed amendments will be considered
approved.
Minor changes to the Plan shall be defined as changes that do not modify the goals, policies, or
commitments expressly defined in this plan by the City. Adjustment to subwatershed boundaries will be
considered minor changes provided that the change will have no significant impact on the rate or quality
in which stormwater runoff is discharged from the City boundaries. Minor changes to this plan can be
made by the staff at the City without outside review. It is the intention of the City that this Plan be
updated ten years after the adoption of this Plan unless significant changes to the plan are deemed
necessary prior to that date.

UTILITY COMMISSION
City Council Meeting: October 7, 2014
AGENDA ITEM: Lebanon Hills Subwatershed Stormwater AGENDA SECTION:
Rate Change Consent
PREPARED BY: Andrew J. Brotzler, PE, Director of
AGENDA NO. (
Works / City Engineer
ATTACHMENTS: Joint Powers Agreement with VR JPO,
APPROVED BY:
Lebanon Hills Subwatershed Map
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Approve Stormwater Rate Change for the Lebanon
Hills Subwatershed
ISSUE
Storm vater rates in the Lebanon Hills sub vatershed area should be adjusted to reflect the density and
drainage conditions in the area. It is appropriate to consider the costs for this subwatershed separately
from the rest of the Cit because the storm water flo vs north and requires compaYativel less
infrastructure.
BACKGROUND
fter speaking with potential developers, City staff has deteYmined that an adjusted stormwater Yate is
appropriate for the Lebanon Hills subwatershed area to better reflect the density and drainage conditions.
The attached figure identifies the Lebanon Hills subwatershed.
The proposed stormwater rate has been calculated based on the estimated cost of improvements within
the Lebanon Hills sub vatershed. A portion of these costs are obligated to the Verrrulion River Watershed
Joint Po vers Organization rRWJO) based on a Joint Powers Agreement for do vnstream improvements.
The remaining costs are for future City ponding and trunk storm sewer unprovements within the
subwatershed. A copy of the Joint Powers r,greement is attached.
Stormwater rates for this area should be adjusted from the standard rate of 6,865 per acre, to a new rate
of 3,772 per acre based on the follo ving calculations:
Watershed a reement lus consumer rice index 587,970
Future ondin & trunk im Yovements within watershed 1,078,500
Ci cost, er vatershed a reement includin im rovements) $1,G66,470
Ci cost, er watershed a reement includin un rovements) 1,666,470
Total develo able acres in the sub vatershed area 441.8
Pro osed er-acre storm trunk rate 3,772
G:\ENGPROJ\459\Council Items\20141007 Lebanon Hills watershed stormwater rates.docx
If approved, this new rate vould be applied to all future development within the sub vatershed area
identified on the attached figure.
SUMMARY
Staff is requesting City Council approval of the stormwater rate change for the Lebanon Hills
Sub vatershed.

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Keegan Lake Drainage Improvements project, City Project No. ENG 0132, includes the installation of a series of
storm sewer outlets to several landlocked stormwater basins upstream of Keegan Lake. Installation of these
outlets will provide flood protection to adjacent properties and will complete an improvement identified as a goal
in the Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP). The sanitary sewer on 132nd Court is also proposed
to be extended north past the proposed storm sewer for future connection.
The total estimated project cost is $476,400 which includes a 10% contingency and 30% indirect costs. This entire
amount is proposed to be funded by the Storm Sewer Utility Fund.
It is proposed that construction begin in June 2017 and it is anticipated to be completed, including all restoration
items, by the fall of 2017. This project is feasible, necessary, and cost-effective from an engineering standpoint,
and should be constructed as proposed herein.

2. INTRODUCTION
2.1 AUTHORIZATION
On December 18, 2006, the Utility Commission authorized the preparation of an engineering feasibility report for
the Keegan Lake Drainage Improvements. This project has been designated as City Project Number ENG 0132. On
October 21, 2016, an update to the feasibility report was approved. These updates included modeling the
stormwater basins using Atlas 14 rainfall data to determine new high water levels and storm sewer sizing and
adding an alternative outlet option for basin KL-1521 into the Bonaire storm sewer system. The opinion of costs
was also updated to reflect 2017 costs. A project location map is shown on Figure 1 of Appendix A.
2.2 SCOPE
The Utility Commission authorized WSB & Associates, Inc. to complete a feasibility report for the installation of a
series of storm sewer outlets to provide emergency overflows for several landlocked stormwater basins upstream
of Keegan Lake. This feasibility study identifies key stormwater elevations, proposes the most viable drainage
improvements, and presents cost estimates detailing the proposed work and easement requirements.

3.2 PROJECT ZONING
The area east of TH 3 is zoned TR – Transitional Residential and the area west of TH 3 is zoned RR – Rural
Residential.
3.3 PROJECT NEED
According to Rosemount’s SWMP, seven upstream ponds within the Keegan Lake Drainage District are proposed to
outlet downstream to Keegan Lake. The plan proposes connecting these landlocked basins to Keegan Lake to
provide flood protection for the adjacent properties and to maintain defined shorelines. This improvement
establishes pond elevations for the 24-hour, 100 year event to protect against high water during large rain events
while maximizing stormwater storage. These ponds have been identified on Figure 2 of Appendix A with the pond
ID number assigned to them by Rosemount’s SWMP.
Currently, the seven ponds directly upstream of Keegan Lake receive approximately 138 acres of total drainage
from their surrounding watersheds. According to the SWMP, the outlet rates that to be maintained for the 24-
hour, 100 year storm event are 1.8 cfs from Pond 1521, 4.46 cfs from Pond 1355, 4.50 cfs from Pond 1405, and
4.82 cfs from Pond 1483. These volumes of water are far too high for infiltration, evaporation, or additional
storage given the land constraints and volume of required storage. In the past, flooding has occurred during larger
rain events at the property east of Pond 1521.

To date, ponds 1435, 1521, 1465, 2472, and 1483 have not been delineated and therefore the normal water
elevation has not been established. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has marked the ordinary high
water (OHW) level of Pond 1355 at 941.73 and Pond 1405 at 942.41. The DNR has established the OHW for
Keegan Lake to be at 942.2. The Keegan Lake outlet is permitted 1.5’ below the OHW at 940.7 which meets the
draw down limit set by the DNR. With a constructed outlet for each of the ponds, the Rosemount’s SWMP
proposes the approximate normal water level elevation and high water level for each of the ponds as shown
below.

4.1 STREETS
The proposed street improvements include removal and replacement of the roadway impacted by the installation
of storm sewer and sanitary sewer. This includes the storm sewer crossing at 130th Street, the sanitary sewer
connection at the manhole in 132nd Court, and driveway replacement for the Zorn property and properties along
TH 3.
Typical roadway replacement includes excavation to accommodate the following sections:
130th Street & 132nd Court
· 4 inches bituminous pavement
· 8 inches class V aggregate base
· 24 inches select granular
Driveway replacement
· 8 inches class V aggregate base
or
· 3 inches bituminous pavement
· 6 inches class V aggregate base
All residents will have access to their properties during construction; however, some inconvenience is anticipated
when storm sewer or sanitary sewer is installed across a roadway or driveway.

4.2 SANITARY SEWER
The proposed sanitary sewer improvements consist of installing an 18-inch sanitary sewer line north from a
manhole in 132nd Court through the Zorn property for future connection. The sanitary sewer is proposed to be
installed 10 feet north of the storm sewer crossing between Pond 1483 and Keegan Lake to avoid future crossing
conflicts between the two lines. The existing stub north to the Zorn property will need to be removed.
Proposed sanitary sewer improvements are shown on Figure 2 of Appendix A.
4.3 STORM SEWER
Given the need for flood prevention, a series of four downstream outlets have been proposed at Ponds 1521,
1355, 1405 and 1483 along with a weir located at the outlet to Pond 1435. These improvements, in conjunction
with the existing overland swales and storm sewer drainage connections, provide flood protection for 24-hour, 100
year storm event. The pond high water levels have been updated from the original feasibility report using Atlas 14
rainfall data.
Proposed storm sewer improvements are shown on Figure 2 of Appendix A and are also listed below with their
corresponding design elevations.

4.4 WATER QUALITY
Water quality of Keegan Lake was mentioned as a concern. Each basin is designed to meet NURP requirements for
water quality treatment. Research has shown that basins designed to meet these requirements remove up to 90%
TSS and 60% total phosphorus (TP). By connecting the upstream ponds to Keegan Lake, there should be minimal
impact on the existing loading.
4.5 ALTERNATIVE OUTLET OPTION
An alternative outlet option for basin KL-1521 was discussed to help alleviate high water levels during large rain
events. This option proposes connecting an outlet from the basin to the storm sewer system along Bonaire Path to
the south. This storm sewer system ultimately discharges to basin KL-1687.

Feasibility Report
Keegan Lake Drainage Improvements Update 2017
City Project No. ENG 0132
City of Rosemount, MN
WSB Project No. 2235-31 Page 10
The existing Bonaire Path storm sewer system, as designed in 2006, currently has capacity to handle the new flow
from Pond 1521. No pipe or structure downstream to final discharge at Pond 1687 will be affected with the
additional flow.
The adjacent home located near Pond 1521 has a low floor elevation of 955.3, as measured in the Keegan Lake
survey. The City Engineering Guidelines require at least 3 feet of freeboard between the 100-year HWL and the
minimum building opening. Required freeboard can be lowered to 2 feet with City Engineer’s approval.
The Pond 1521 proposed outlet would connect into the Bonaire Path storm sewer system at structure 5134. The
invert elevation of this structure based on the record as-built drawings is 952.08’. To achieve a minimum pipe
slope of 0.4% for the storm sewer and connect into this structure, the minimum pipe outlet from Pond 1521 would
need to be 953.55. This would raise the 100-year HWL of Pond 1521 to an elevation of 954.69, which does not
meet the freeboard requirements of the City for the existing structure.
The 100-year HWL elevation of Pond 1521 with an outlet at 952.30 is 953.73.
4.6 EXISTING UTILITIES
According to the Gopher State One Call, private utilities in the area include:
· City of Rosemount
· Dakota Electric
· Fiber to the Home
· Frontier Communications
· Independent School District #196
· Koch Pipelines
· Minnesota Energy Resources Corporation
· Northern Natural Gas
· Xcel Energy - Gas
· Xcel Energy – Electric
· Charter Communications
· Unknown – Regulated by SMP
· Magellan Midstream Partners
Private utilities that are not within their own easement are responsible for the costs to hold or relocate utilities
serving local residents; however, utilities within their own easement or private property may require the project to
incur additional cost for coordination and relocation. Private utilities within Mn/DOT right-of-way are there by
permit with Mn/DOT and will be held or relocated at the cost of the City. No private utility relocation costs have
been included with this project.

4.7 PERMITS/APPROVALS
The anticipated permits and approvals that will be required for this project and the respective regulatory agencies
are listed below:
· Minnesota Department of Transportation ....................................................... Work within the Right-of-Way
· DNR Permit ..................................................................... Work within Pond 1355, Pond 1405, & Keegan Lake
· Dewatering Permit .................................................................................................................. Minnesota DNR
· Minnesota Pollution Control Agency ............................................... National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) General Stormwater Permit
For Construction Activity (MN R100001)
· Minnesota Pollution Control Agency ........................................................................................ Sanitary Sewer
4.8 RIGHT-OF-WAY/EASEMENTS
It is recommended that a combination of permanent and temporary utility easements as well as permits within the
existing right-of-way be secured along the entire length of the improvements. The intent of the project is to
secure the required easements through easement dedication by each of the required property owners in exchange
for the City funding the drainage improvements. However, due to the local topography, some of the required
easements are located on properties that may not directly benefit from the improvements.
Easements not secured through dedication may be purchased if they are deemed critical to the completion of the
project and would otherwise prohibit additional upstream improvements. This issue will need to be addressed
prior to final design to prevent unnecessary design work. If land acquisition is used, a variation of land value is
expected based on current market value as well as easement location within a specific parcel. Attached in
Appendix C is a table showing the approximate easement value based on a percentage of the current lot value and
could be starting point of negotiation between the City and property owner. These values have been included
with the cost of the project but an appraisal will be necessary to determine the exact value of each property and
required easement.

7. FEASIBILITY AND RECOMMENDATION
This feasibility report consists of providing several emergency outlets to the landlocked stormwater basins
upstream of Keegan Lake. Outlet installation will provide flood prevention to adjacent properties and maintain
more defined shorelines for the ponds. Improvements include the installation of storm sewer and a weir at set
elevations to provide an emergency overflow for the landlocked stormwater basins. Installation of these outlets
will provide flood protection to adjacent properties while maximizing stormwater storage and will complete an
improvement identified as a goal in the SWMP. An alternative outlet option was analyzed for Basin 1521. This
outlet would connect into the storm sewer system along Bonaire Path to the south, rather than outlet to Basin
1465 to the north.
The alternate outlet for Basin 1521 would result in approximately 1’ less freeboard than the proposed SWMP plan
routing resulting in inadequate flood protection for adjacent structure.
A sanitary sewer stub is proposed to be extended north of 132nd Court to avoid future conflicts with the storm
sewer. Roadway repairs on 130th Street and 132nd Court as well as driveway repairs throughout the project are
proposed to accommodate the installation of storm sewer and sanitary sewer.
The total estimated cost of the Keegan Lake Drainage Improvements project is $476,400. The opinion of probable
cost can be found in Appendix B.
This project is feasible because there are no engineering factors to prevent the project from being completed. It is
also necessary and cost-effective from an engineering standpoint to maintain emergency outlet to each pond to
provide flood protection for the adjacent properties. It is our recommendation that the Keegan Lake Drainage
Improvements be implemented as outlined in this report.

Re: Downtown Redevelopment Storm Water Management Plan
Technical Memorandum
WSB Project No. 1668-37
As part of the Stonebridge redevelopment project located east of Trunk Highway 3 between
146th Street and Lower 147th Street, as shown on the attached figure, storm water management
measures will need to be incorporated with the project. With this redevelopment project, the
City has the opportunity to implement some innovative and highly effective solutions for storm
water management in a developed area. These storm water improvements are planned to occur
both on-site within the redevelopment area and downstream at a regional pond system. Outlined
below please find a more detailed plan to address storm water management for this area.
On-Site Storm Water Management (Small Storm Management)
The storm water management within the redevelopment site is anticipated to use some Low
Impact Development (LID) strategies. Impervious surface will be reduced by incorporating
green space and landscaping as much as possible. While water from roof drains will be directed
downstream via the storm sewer, runoff from other hard surfaces such as the parking lots and
sidewalks will be directed to rain gardens, swales, or other depressed landscaped areas. The
parking lots would be designed with either no or partial curb and gutter to allow storm water to
flow into the rain gardens and swales. These features are anticipated to provide rate control and
treatment for the 1- to 2- year storm events for on-site runoff.
Off-Site Regional Storm Water Management (Large Storm Management)
For larger storm events, additional treatment will be provided downstream at a regional pond
system. Currently, storm water from the area is directed by the storm sewer along Burma
Avenue to the north to Erickson Pond in the park. Erickson Pond is a Preserve wetland in the
City’s Wetland Management Plan and also is highly visible within the public park area. Storm
water from the redevelopment area will continue to be directed to Erickson Park; however, a new
regional active storm water management treatment system will be constructed immediately
upstream of Erickson Pond. This system would encompass the following two components:
February 13, 2008
Page 2
K:\01668-37\Admin\Docs\MEMO - 021308 - ab.doc
● Course sediment removal system: A large, vortex-based grit chamber would be
installed near the end of the storm sewer pipe, upstream of Erickson Pond. This
system uses gravity and storm water flow to remove the coarse sediment in the storm
water. This system is anticipated to removes 40-80% of the sediment and 10-30% of
the phosphorus, depending on the storm event.
● Chemical treatment system: Once the sediment is removed, water will be directed via
Erickson Pond to an underground chemical treatment system. Water from Erickson
Pond will be pumped into the underground treatment system. Through the use of
alum as a flocculent, the phosphorus will be removed and the clean water returned to
the basin. This system will cycle water and be designed to avoid short-circuiting of
the water. This is effective enough to remove phosphorus to detection limits and
provide significantly better treatment than traditional ponding BMP’s.
The regional treatment system will be designed not only to treat the water from the specific
redevelopment area, it will be designed to treat the water from the entire 83 acre downtown
subwatershed. The larger downtown area land cover consists of fully developed residential and
business areas. Storm water in this area runs off the hard surfaces and enters the storm sewer
system without any treatment. All of this water for the larger 83 acre watershed is directed to
Erickson Pond. This plan will not only provide treatment for the Stonebridge redevelopment
project, but will also treat the larger 83 acre area of the existing developed downtown area;
improving existing conditions and accommodating additional future redevelopment within the
downtown area.

(3) The low building, high water, and overflow elevations shown above are approximate based on the City topographic mapping. These elevations should be field verified for accuracy when devleopment takes place in the area.
1) The storm water model assumes that the pond elevation is equal to the NWL at the beginning of the event. The HWL is affected by the accuracy of the data such as drainage area, storage capacity, outlet description and condition, and runoff factors have not been field calibrated.

Technical Memorandum
To: City of Rosemount Engineering Guidelines Distribution Recipients
From: Bill Alms, WSB & Associates
Date: May 19, 2016
Re: Use of Atlas 14 Precipitation data within the City of Rosemount, MN
Implementation
This technical memorandum is a supplement to the City of Rosemount Engineer Guidelines dated
February 2008. This memorandum is effective immediately for all developers, builders, and engineers
creating final plans and specifications within the City of Rosemount.
Guidelines
Use Atlas 14 Precipitation Frequency Estimates when using rainfall-runoff models to compute hydrology
for the design of hydraulic infrastructure. The Atlas 14 data is obtained from NOAA’s Precipitation
Frequency Data Server (PFDS): http://hdsc.nws.noaa.gov/hdsc/pfds/
Rational Method
Use the precipitation intensities from Atlas 14 for the project location to develop a project Intensity-
Duration-Frequency (IDF) curve, or use the Atlas 14 regionalized IDF values developed by MnDOT with
the Rational Method to calculate flow.
http://www.dot.state.mn.us/bridge/hydraulics/atlas14/atlas14regions/atlas14regions.html
NRCS Method
Use the rainfall distribution derived from Atlas 14 data or use the NRCS MSE 3 rainfall distribution with
the NRCS rainfall/runoff hydrology method. Do not use the NRCS Type II rainfall distribution. Use the
Atlas 14 depth for the project location or the Minnesota NRCS Atlas 14 county average depth when the
24 hour precipitation depth is used. Use the standard NRCS dimensionless unit hydrograph with the
peak rate factor of 484.
Further guidance on the NRCS methodology is available from the Minnesota NRCS Office at:
http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/mn/technical/?cid=nrcs142p2_023722

e. Inlets are generally required every 300' on streets or a combination of streets and swales (250' on
collector and arterial streets). The inlets shall be located to prevent runoff from flowing through
intersections. Inlets should be located such that 3 cfs is the maximum flow at the inlet for the 10-
year design storm event and does not exceed the applicable spread design for the road.
f. Catch basins in the street should be in line with adjoining property lines. Catch basins in the
street cannot be placed in front of driveways unless approved by the City Engineer.
g. Catch basins shall be located on the tangent section of the curb at a point 2.5' from the
intersection radius endpoint as shown on the current version of the Street Radius for Concrete
Curb and Gutter Detail in the City’s General Specifications. Mid-radius catch basins will not be
allowed. Also, catch basins shall be designed to collect drainage on the upstream side of the
intersection.
h. Catch basins in unpaved areas are not allowed unless approved by the City Engineer.
i. Any connections to existing manholes or catch basins shall be core drilled or the opening cut out
with a concrete saw. No jack hammering or breaking the structure with a sledge hammer or
mallet is permitted. Also, all connections to an existing system will require a manhole for
access.
j. Drain tile connections to catch basins or manholes must be approved by the City Engineer.

k. Junction manholes should be designed to limit the hydraulic head increase by matching flow
lines and by providing good angles of connection, typically greater than 90°.
l. The maximum spacing between manholes is 500' for sewer lines 18" to 30" in diameter.
Maximum spacing on large diameter sewer lines shall be approved by the City Engineer.
m. To the greatest extent possible, manholes shall be placed in paved surfaces or other readily
accessible areas.
n. Storm sewer inlets, outlets and manholes in unpaved areas shall be marked per the current
version of the Structure Marker Sign Detail in the City’s General Specifications.
o. Pond inlet flared end sections shall be installed with ½ the pipe diameter below the NWL
elevation unless directed otherwise by the City Engineer.
p. Use a minimum Class III riprap gradation according to the current version of Riprap Details in
the City’s General Specifications and Standard Detail Plates. Filter material as approved by the
City Engineer shall be used with riprap installations. When installed at an pipe outlet on a slope,
the length of riprap installation shall be the full length of the slope to the bottom of the pond.
q. Steel sheet pile and concrete grouted riprap shall be installed at all pipe outlets 21” in diameter or
larger per the current version of the FES Sheet Piling and Grouted Riprap At Outlets details in
the City’s General Specifications and Standard Detail Plates.
r. Alternative methods of slope erosion protection, such as articulated open-cell blocks, may be
required to control erosion of granular soils in areas of high velocity flows. This requirement
shall be site specific and at the discretion of the City Engineer.
s. Aprons or flared end sections shall be placed at all locations where the storm sewer outlets into a
ponding area. All aprons or flared end sections shall be tied to the last three (3) pipe joints. The
City standard for aprons or flared end sections is the latest revision of Mn/DOT Standard Plate

shall be used based on roadway clear zone requirements.
t. Show or define access routes for maintenance purposes to all manholes, lift stations, inlets,
and/or outlets at ponding areas that are outside of public right-of-way and that meet the specific
requirements related to the development of grading plans found elsewhere in this document.
Access easements shall be dedicated at the time of final platting if necessary.
u. All newly constructed and reconstructed buildings will route drain leaders to pervious areas
wherein the runoff can be allowed to infiltrate. The flow rate of water exiting the leaders shall
be controlled so no erosion occurs in the pervious areas.
Engineering Guidelines February 2008 EG - 8
2. Water Quantity
a. For newly developing areas, no discharge or infiltration can be assumed for purposes of
establishing the 100-year, 24-hour storm event high water elevation. For events with longer
duration, a maximum peak stormwater discharge rate will be limited to 0.05 cfs/acre.
b. In the event that the City will not be providing a regional system, storage of the runoff from the
100 year, 24 hour storm event is required on-site.
c. The City prefers to provide rate control through the use of regional storm water retention systems
versus site-by-site retention systems if regional systems are available.
d. Drainage calculations must be submitted to demonstrate adequate rate control, storage, and
infiltration are provided as per the requirements of the Comprehensive Stormwater Management
Plan.
e. New storm sewer system laterals shall be designed to accommodate discharge rates from a 10-
year storm event.
f. Storm events or runoff events shall be defined as outlined below:
The 2-year storm event is defined as 2.8” of rainfall in 24 hours.
The 10-year storm event is defined 4.2" of rainfall over 24 hours.
The 100-year storm event is defined as 6.0” of rainfall over 24 hours.
The 10-day snowmelt is defined as 7.1” of runoff.
g. Development will be required to provide 1/12 of an acre-foot/acre/day of infiltration for the
entire site’s acreage. Pretreatment of stormwater is required prior to discharge to an infiltration
basin. Options available for infiltration design are included in the Surface Water Management
Plan.
h. Infiltration rates of soils for design purposes are as follows:
Hydrologic soil group A : 0.30 in/hour
Hydrologic soil group B : 0.15 in/hour
Hydrologic soil group C : 0.07 in/hour
Hydrologic soil group D : 0.03 in/hour
Different infiltration rates will be considered (up to a maximum of 3.0 in/hour) by the City
Engineer on a site-by-site basis based on percolation tests or other pertinent information
conducted by a professional soil scientist or Professional Engineer.
i. The City prohibits activities within the 100 year floodplain unless compensatory floodplain
mitigation is provided at a 1:1 ratio by volume and it is demonstrated that the 100 year flood
plain will not be impacted. In addition, no filling within the designated floodway of a drainage
channel shall be allowed. Suitable calculations must be submitted and approved demonstrating
that filling in the flood fringe will not impact the 100 year flood profile.
Engineering Guidelines February 2008 EG - 9
j. The City shall restrict or prohibit uses within the floodplain that are dangerous to health, safety,
or property in times of flood or which cause increase in flood elevations or velocities.
k. The City requires that for any new or redevelopment, at least 3 feet of freeboard between the
anticipated high water elevation and the minimum building opening be maintained. If this 3
foot freeboard requirement is considered a hardship, standard could be lowered to 2 feet if
approved by the City Engineer and the following can be demonstrated:
i. That within the 2 foot freeboard area, stormwater storage is available which is equal to or
exceeds 50% of the stormwater storage currently available in the basin below the 100-year
high water elevation.
ii. That a 25% obstruction of the basin outlet over a 24-hour period would not result in
more than 1 foot of additional bounce in the basin.
iii. An adequate overflow route from the basin is available that will provide assurance that 1 foot
of freeboard will be maintained for the proposed low building opening.
l. The City requires that minimum basement floor elevations be set to an elevation that meets the
following criteria:
i. The basement floor elevation will be 4 feet above the currently observed groundwater
elevations in the area (FHA policy).
ii. The basement floor elevation will be 2 feet above the elevation of any known historic
high groundwater elevations for the area. Information on historic high groundwater
elevations can be derived from any reasonable sources including piezometer data, soil
boring data, percolation testing, etc.
iii. The basement floor elevation will be 1 foot above the 100-year high water elevation for the
area unless it can be demonstrated that this standard creates a hardship. If a hardship is
demonstrated, this requirement could be waived if a registered geotechnical engineer
documents that the basement floor will be one foot above the highest anticipated
groundwater elevation that could result from high surface water elevations raising the
groundwater in the area during a 100-year critical duration rainfall event. The impact of high
surface water elevations on groundwater elevations in the vicinity of the structure can take
into consideration the site’s distance from the floodplain area, the soils, the normal water
elevation of surface depressions in the areas, the static groundwater table and historic water
elevations in the area.
3. Water Quality
a. In the design and construction of new, or modifications to the existing storm water conveyance
systems, pretreatment of storm water runoff to Nationwide Urban Runoff Program (NURP)
recommendations must be provided prior to discharge to wetlands and water bodies classified as
Preserve and Manage I as outlined in the City’s Wetland Management Plan and infiltration
basins. The NURP design guidelines for the City are as follows:
Engineering Guidelines February 2008 EG - 10
i. 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.
ii. A permanent pool average depth (basin volume/basin area), which shall be >4 feet, with a
maximum depth of <10 feet.
iii. An emergency overflow (emergency outlet) adequate to control the one percent
frequency/critical duration rainfall event.
iv. Basin side slopes above the normal water level should be no steeper than 4:1, 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.
v. To prevent short-circuiting, the distance between major inlets and the normal outlet
shall be maximized.
vi. A flood pool (“live storage”) volume above the principal spillway shall be adequate so
that the peak 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 the Stormwater Management Plan.
vii. Retardance of peak discharges for the more frequent storms can be achieved through a
principal spillway design, which may include a perforated vertical riser, small orifice
retention outlet, or compound weir. Additional discharge restrictions may be required as
outlined in the Stormwater Management Plan.
viii. A protective buffer strip of vegetation surrounding the permanent pool at a minimum width
of 15 feet.
b. Sediment and nutrient pretreatment shall be provided to the extent necessary as outlined in the
City’s Wetland Management Plan.
c. New developments will be required to provide mitigative measures if the development results in
an increase in the phosphorus concentration of downstream water bodies that are classified as
Preserve or Manage I as outlined in the City’s Wetland Management Plan. Appropriate
documentation must be submitted to the City that indicates the pre- and post development
phosphorus concentrations of Preserve or Management I water bodies.
d. Two foot sump catch basin inlets are required for all new or redevelopment within a street. A 3
foot sump catch basin or manhole is required within the street just prior to discharge to a
wetland, lake, or stream.
e. Development plans must be in conformance with the shoreland management ordinance.
f. The City will require skimmers in the construction of new pond outlets, and add skimmers to the
existing system whenever feasible and practical. Skimmer design shall provide for skimmers
that extend a minimum of 6 inches below the water surface and minimize the velocities of water
Engineering Guidelines February 2008 EG - 11
passing under the skimmer to less than 0.5 feet per second for 1-year rainfall events. The
skimmer design shall be consistent with the current City detail.
4. Wetlands
a. Prior to issuance of any city grading or building permits, all development and redevelopment
activities must comply with the Wetland Conservation Act and Wetland Management Plan. A
copy of the Wetland Conservation Act Rules and the Wetland Management Plan can be obtained
at City Hall.
b. For new development, buffers around wetlands as outlined in the Wetland Management Plan will
be required. These buffers include:
Preserve Wetlands: 75 Ft.
Manage I Wetlands: 50 Ft.
Manage II Wetlands: 30 Ft.
Utilize Wetland: 15 Ft. in non-agricultural areas only.
Developers shall be responsible for the installation of monuments marking the outer edge of the
buffer.
5. Erosion Control
a. The City will require erosion and sediment control on all construction sites to be in conformance
with City ordinance and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s Best Management Practices.
6. Easements

responsibility of the applicant to obtain from adjacent property owners any necessary easements
or other property interests concerning flowage of water.
b. Easements are required for all landlocked ponding areas to the greater of the basins 100 year –
10 day run-off HWL elevation or back to back 100 year – 24 hour HWL elevation. Easements
are required for all outletted basins, swales, ditches, and overflow routes to the basin's 100 year
storm HWL elevation. Easements are required over the ultimate overflow route from land
locked basins and future trunk storm sewer convergence routes.
c. If the storm sewer is to be less than 10' deep within private property, the easement shall be a
minimum of 20' wide. If the storm sewer is 10' deep or greater, then the easement shall be twice
as wide as the depth.
7. Submittals
a. Calculations and drainage area maps showing 10 year and 100 year flood boundaries shall be
submitted with the plans and specifications verifying the adequacy of the number of catch basins,
pipe capacities and pond sizes.

I. Executive Summary
The Rosemount Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan (WMP or Plan) 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. The wetland map of
the City and the wetland inventory and assessment completed for each wetland is contained in
Appendix A. 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 City’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. Wetland assessments
that have been conducted since the WMP development are also included in the update.
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 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 WMP 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 became concerned with the ability to enforce such
administration without a policy and procedure adopted as ordinance by City Council. In
response, staff amended the 1998 WMP a number of times to address the outstanding and
recurring issues associated with wetland impacts and management.
In 2007, 2009, 2011, and 2012, changes to the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) were made by
the State Legislature. Additionally, several wetlands have been reassessed with development
proposals. The 2012 amendments to this WMP address the WCA rule changes as well as
incorporate the updated wetland assessments, where applicable. New policies and provisions
included in this 2012 update were discussed with the Task Force and City staff.

II. Introduction and Purpose
The City of Rosemount’s Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan (WMP) was developed in
1998 to be conformance with Minnesota Rules 8420. The purpose of establishing the WMP was
to develop policies related to the use and protection of wetlands within the City. Prior to 1998,
wetland management and protection was primarily accomplished through site specific permitting
actions of various regulatory agencies. The purpose of the WMP was to provide the City with
the authority to rule on wetland impacts and implement regulations based on the needs of the
community.
The WMP 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 WMP 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

• Provide performance standards for wetland replacement areas, including the associated
upland buffer
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 is the
Lebanon Hills Regional Park which takes advantage of this interesting terrain for education and
recreation.
Wetlands within the City were assessed in 1997 and 1998 as a part of the WMP plan
development (see Appendix A). This field assessment focused on the undeveloped Municipal
Urban Service Area (MUSA) identified in the 2020 Land Use Plan. These properties have a
greater density of wetlands and surface waters than other areas of the City and are expected to
experience significant development and have the highest potential for wetland impacts. The
1998 WMP and ordinance were in effect before much of the development projects in
Rosemount, allowing the City to protect and preserve the natural water resources to the fullest
extent feasible on the property being developed. Additional functional assessments have been
performed since the development of the plan and subsequent updates. This 2012 amendment
incorporates all assessments since 2007.
The City has applied the WMP 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. Buffer monuments have contributed to the
public education portion of the WMP. 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.
Based on the implementation of this Plan since 1998 and subsequent amendments, it has been
determined by the City that a number of policy clarifications were needed. The purpose of this
plan amendment is to address the following issues:
• Wetland buffer zones and related policies, including performance standards
• Location of storm water best management practices (BMP) within buffers including
clarification of the types of storm water BMP’s allowed in buffers
• Wetland replacement regulations and procedures, including siting requirements that
encourage replacement within the City limits
Page 4
February 2013
• Address secondary impacts to wetlands that may be caused as a result of a land use
change
• Changes to the WCA as per updates in 2009, 2011, 2012
• Incorporate the Minnesota Routine Assessment Method (MnRAM) as a replacement for
the RoseWFA for wetland functions and values assessments
• Establish clear administrative authority for WCA decisions
• Specifically include the goal of the City to identify, evaluate, and pursue wetland
replacement sites.
The WMP 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 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.
This wetland management plan has been developed to be in conformance with the Wetland
Conservation Act. Any future changes in the WCA would supersede the requirements outlined
in this plan.

III. Definitions and References
Applicant: Person or party proposing wetland impact or related activity.
Best management practices: State-approved and practices published in the “Protecting Water
Quality in Urban Areas” associated with draining, filling, or replacing wetlands that are capable
of preventing and minimizing degradation of surface water and groundwater. The “Protecting
Water Quality in Urban Areas” manual is written and produced by the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency.
Buffer zones: Non-wetland areas which extend a specified distance from the wetland edge.
Buffer zones are undeveloped, un-manicured, and minimally maintained terrestrial areas of
native or naturally occurring vegetation that experience little to no human impact. Buffer zones
help to protect adverse impacts to the wetland. Restrictions apply to the activities within a
wetland buffer zone once a buffer is established. The buffer starts at the delineated wetland
edge.
Buffer Averaging: Practice of allowing a variable width buffer around a wetland where the
average buffer width is equal to the buffer width required for the wetland management category.
Buffer averaging shall incorporate landscape connectivity where possible and ecologically
feasible. Some examples include, but are not limited to, the following: a) averaging the buffer to
be wider around the portion of the wetland where upstream development will occur; b)
incorporating landscape features that may be prone to erosion to maintain a vegetated area and
prevent sedimentation into the wetland; c) incorporating a higher quality habitat to protect the
area from disturbance.
City: The incorporated City of Rosemount.
Complete Application: An application, as defined in MnRule 8420 that meets the requirements
as per MnRule 8420.0255, Subp. 2 Determination of a Complete Application and contains
sufficient and technically accurate information required to make a decision, as determined by the
City. An application may be deemed incomplete if it contains information that does not support
the conclusions on which the application is based and for which a decision has been requested.
Creation: Construction of wetlands in an area that was not wetlands in the past.
Excavation: The displacement or removal of the sediment or other materials by any method.
Fill: As defined in MnRule 8420.
Growing Season: As defined in the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland
Delineation Manual: Midwest Region.
Hydric soils: Soils that are saturated, flooded, or ponded long enough during the growing season
to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part.
Hydrophytic vegetation: Macrophytic plant life growing in water, soil, or on a substrate that is
at least periodically deficient in oxygen as a result of excessive water content.
Page 6
February 2013
Impact: As defined in MnRule 8420.
Indirect impact: An impact that is a result of an activity that occurs outside of the wetland
boundary (MM Rule 8420) including, but not limited to, impacts associated with altering the
hydrologic inputs to a wetland basin that results in converting the wetland to nonwetland or
changing the wetland type. Indirect impacts are determined on a per-project basis and shall be
evaluated by the City and in consultation with the Technical Evaluation Panel, at the discretion
of the City.
Landowner: A person or entity having the rights necessary to drain or fill a wetland, or to
establish and maintain a replacement or banked wetland. Typically, the landowner is a fee title
owner or a holder of an easement, license, lease, or rental agreement providing the necessary
rights. The right must not be limited by a lien or other encumbrance that could override the
obligations assumed with the replacement or banking of a wetland.
Local government unit: The City of Rosemount.
Project: A specific plan, contiguous activity, proposal, or design necessary to accomplish a goal
as defined by the local government unit. As used in this chapter, a project may not be split into
components or phases for the sole purpose of gaining additional exemptions.
Public value of wetlands: The public benefit and use of wetlands as determined based upon a
functional assessment method.
Soil and water conservation district: A legal subdivision of state government under Minnesota
Statutes, chapter 103C.
Upland Buffer Credit: For the purposes of this Plan, Upland Buffer Credit shall incorporate the
requirements and standards of MnRule 8420.0526, Subp. 2.
Wetlands:
A. Lands transitional between terrestrial and aquatic systems where the water table is usually
at or near the surface or the land is covered by shallow water. For purposes of this Plan
wetlands must:
(1) Have a predominance of hydric soils;
(2) Be inundated or saturated by surface water or groundwater at a frequency and
duration sufficient to support a prevalence of hydrophytic vegetation typically
adapted for life in saturated soil conditions; and
(3) Under normal circumstances, support a prevalence of hydrophytic vegetation.
B. The wetland size is the area within its boundary. The boundary must be determined
according to the United States Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual
(January 1987). The wetland type must be determined according to United States Fish
and Wildlife Service Circular No. 39 (1971 edition).
Wetland Replacement Credit: For the purposes of this Plan, Wetland Replacement Credit
shall mean the Actions Eligible for Credit, as per MM Rule 8420.0526, Subp. 3-7.

V. Wetland Regulations
The existing wetland regulatory framework in Minnesota involves a number of federal, state, and
local agencies including the US Army Corps of Engineers, Department of Natural Resources,
Pollution Control Agency, and the Local Government Units. A brief discussion of the role of
each wetland regulatory agency is included in this section.
A. US Army Corps of Engineers
The US Army Corps 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
there is a connection to navigable waters. Any impact to navigable waters or wetlands that
are connected to navigable waters, including filling, draining, or excavation, 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 may
be involved in providing water quality certification for the COE permit. For more
information about the COE regulations, the area COE Project Manager can be contacted at
(651) 290-5367 or information can be obtained from the St. Paul District COE website at
www.mvp.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 and Wetland maps. The DNR has
jurisdiction over Public Water and Wetlands below the Ordinary High Water (OHW)
elevation or below the top-of-bank for streams. The OHW 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 651-259-5654 or information can be
obtained from the DNR website at www.dnr.state.mn.us/waters.
C. Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
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 and sequencing requirements of Minnesota Rule 7050.0186 apply to
all wetland alterations that are permitted or certified by the MPCA as described below.
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)/SDS permit program is a
delegated federal permit issued under the responsibilities and authorities contained in
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 115. In accordance with Minnesota Rule 7050.0186, sequencing
requirements to avoid, minimize, and mitigate wetland impacts are required to be satisfied in
the issuance of NPDES/SDS permits, including 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 Minnesota
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 determination by another
permitting agency that does not address project impacts requires the project proposer to
demonstrate that they meet the NPDES permit conditions and Minnesota Rule 7050.0186.
Page 10
February 2013
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 COE 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 reviews 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 COE 404
permit, cannot be issued. As of the writing of this SWPMP, the MPCA does not implement
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 to comply 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 (LGU)
The Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) is a state law enacted in 1991 and subsequently
amended (Minnesota Laws CH 354, Minnesota Statute 103G.222-2373 and other scattered
sections). The Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) provides agency oversight for
WCA through Minnesota Rule 8420. The WCA is administered by Local Government Units
(LGU). BWSR’s role is to assist LGUs in the implementation of WCA and to be a member
of the Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP).
The WCA is administered by the 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 functions and values.
E. Wetland Applications
Wetland related applications shall be submitted to the City of Rosemount as per the
requirements of this plan and MnRule 8420. Application forms can be found on BWSR’s
web-site: http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/wetlands/index.html.
1. Wetland Boundary or Type Application
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 must be
performed in accordance with the 1987 Corps of Engineers Manual for Delineating
Wetlands in conjunction with the Midwest Supplement or most recent, industry-
accepted methodology. Delineations are to be performed by a wetland professional
who has been trained in wetland delineations. Wetland delineations should be
performed during the growing season, and will be considered incomplete if received
Page 11
February 2013
at a time of year not conducive for proper review. Delineations are valid for five
years, or as specified in a Notice of Decision issued by the LGU.
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.
2. No Loss and Exemption Applications
The WCA No Loss and Exemption standards are covered in MnRule 8420.0410-
0420, as amended, and are included by reference to this Plan. Applications for No
Loss or Exemption determinations shall follow the procedures and requirements of
MnRule 8420. Wetlands that are exempt per the WCA shall not be regulated by the
policies within this Plan.
3. Sequencing Application
Sequencing must be provided as a part of an application for wetlands categorized as
Preserve, Manage 1, and Manage 2. Manage 3 wetlands are applicable for
sequencing flexibility when impacts are proposed. An applicant who proposes to
impact a wetland must adhere to the wetland Sequencing Standards outlined in
MnRule 8420.0520. The applicant may submit a sequencing evaluation with the
wetland replacement plan application or apply for a preliminary sequencing decision
from the City, as per MnRule 8420.0325, as amended. The determination of a
complete sequencing evaluation will be made by the City and/or TEP assigned to the
project.
4. Replacement Plan 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 than 6
feet in any wetland is anticipated, a replacement plan application must be completed
by the project proposer and submitted to the City. These applications are contained
on BWSR’s web site at http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/wetlands/index.html. If wetland
impacts are unavoidable, a wetland replacement plan must accompany the application
as outlined within this plan. An application fee may apply.
Once sequencing has been completed in conformance with this plan and MnRule
8420 and it has been determined that wetland impacts are unavoidable, the lost
functions and values of the wetland must be replaced. Replacement of lost functions
and values must be in conformance with Section X: Wetland Replacement section of
this plan. The wetland replacement standards of the WCA (MnRule 8420.0522, as
amended) shall be incorporated by reference in this Plan, except where this Plan is
more restrictive. Actions Eligible for Credit for wetland replacement as per MnRule
8420.0526, as amended, are included by reference in this Plan except where this Plan
is more restrictive.
Although the WCA allows for upland buffer to qualify for wetland replacement, the
City, at its discretion, may require that the full replacement ratio be entirely in the
form of wetland creation or restoration. The preservation of existing wetlands on the
Page 12
February 2013
subject property is not an eligible credit for the mitigation requirements except as
otherwise provided in Minnesota Rules 8420.0526
It is strongly encouraged that wetlands categorized as Manage 2 or Manage 3within
this plan are utilized for wetland replacement when feasible. For example, the
restoration or expansion of a Manage 2 or 3 wetland would be preferable, under this
Plan, than the expansion of a Preserve or Manage 1 wetland. The goal of this
recommendation is to increase the functions and values of the degraded wetlands
within the City as part of projects that result in impacting wetlands.
5. Replacement for Public Transportation 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 may be eligible to be
replaced by BWSR through the Local Government Wetland Replacement Program.
MnRule 8420.0544 is incorporated by reference in this Plan. Applications can be
found at BWSR’s web-site: http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/wetlands/index.html.
F. Wetland Application and Decision Procedures
Application review and decision procedures by the LGU shall follow the requirements as per
MnRule 8420.0255, as amended, and those procedures are included by reference. Once the
comment period has ended, the City will make a decision on the application within 60 days
of receiving a complete application in accordance with MnRules 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 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, all other permits from other agencies
have been obtained, and that the conditions, if any, of the Notice of Decision are fully met.
There is a 30 day appeal process in MnRule 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. See Section H, below, for
appeal procedures.
G. Local Government Unit Decision Authority Summary
As part of the 2012 amendment, a resolution delegating WCA administrative functions to
LGU staff is incorporated in the Plan. The resolution can be found in Appendix C and is
summarized as follows:
1. The City Council of the City of Rosemount places decision authority for exemption, no
loss, and wetland boundary and type determinations with City Staff.
2. Decision authority for replacement plan applications that impact 10,000 square feet or
greater of wetland and wetland banking determinations is placed with the City Council of
the City of Rosemount. Decision authority for replacement plan applications that impact
Page 13
February 2013
less than 10,000 square feet can be placed with City Staff, unless it is deemed necessary,
by the City, to bring the application to the City Council for a decision.
3. City of Rosemount Staff may request that decisions for exemption, no loss, and wetland
boundary and type determinations be made by the City Council.
H. Appeals of Wetland Application Decisions and Enforcement Procedures
Appeals of exemption, no-loss, wetland boundary, wetland type, sequencing, replacement
plan, or banking plan decisions made by the City will follow the appeal process in
accordance with MnRule 8420, as amended.
Wetland Conservation Act Enforcement procedures shall be in conformance with MnRule
8420.

VI. Technical Elements
A. 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 interns trained and supervised by the former.
The database was set up 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. Each of these parameters needs to be present before an area
could be determines as “wetland” according to the 1987 Corps of Engineers Manual for
Delineating Wetlands.
B. 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 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.
C. 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 (see Appendix
A). This information is directly linked to the Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
map which shows all of the wetlands in Rosemount that were identified in the inventory
process. The inventory does not include all surface water features with the City of
Rosemount. Wetland features of the GIS system are visual representations of the
identified wetlands and do not represent the actual wetland delineation
Page 15
February 2013
D. 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. The functionality and classification will be updated based on the
monitoring information provided to the City. The GIS map will also be updated to reflect
new information (i.e. wetland delineation decisions, revised management classifications,
etc) on an as needed basis. For example, since the 2007 update, the City has received
applications for wetland boundary decisions that have resulted, upon review and approval
by the City, in several features identified in the WMP as wetland being determined to be
nonwetland. These features have been removed from the Plan and as such, are not
regulated by the policies herein.
Page 16
February 2013
VII. Functional Assessment
The functional value of each wetland was evaluated in 1997-1998 with respect to the following
functional parameters:
• Floral diversity and integrity
• Water quality protection
• Fish and wildlife habitat
• Flood/storm water attenuation
• Shoreline protection
• Groundwater recharge and discharge
• Aesthetic/recreation/education and science
• Commercial uses
Wetland functionality was assessed in 1997 according to a modified version of the Minnesota
Routine Assessment Method (MnRAM) referred to as the Rosemount Wetland Functional
Assessment (RoseWFA) worksheet . It was developed in 1997 in consultation with the
Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources,
the Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District, the Rosemount Wetland Committee,
and City staff.
The 2012 Plan Amendment replaces RoseWFA with them most current version of MnRAM. The
MnRAM has become the state standard for wetland assessments. MnRAM (Appendix B) is a
comprehensive assessment of both a wetland’s function and value and can be directly associated
with WCA policies in implementing this Plan.
Upon the submittal for approval of a proposed or planned plat or any other development of a site
or property, the City will require that the applicant complete a re-assessment of the wetlands
using the most current version of MnRAM. This is in addition to the wetland delineation report
that is required to be submitted if the site is proposed to be developed. Field work must be
completed during the growing season as defined in this Plan, which is generally May 1 – October
15, but may fall outside of this date range depending on climate conditions.
Page 17
February 2013
VIII. Wetland Classification
Wetlands are classified for management and protection based on the “Basic Wetland Protection”
management strategy in MnRAM. This classification system is included in Appendix B and the
most recent version can be found at http://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/wetlands/index.html. The
management classifications and corresponding functional scores are as follows:
Preserve (P): Wetlands that were placed into the Preserve category generally provided
the highest functions for vegetative diversity and wildlife habitat.
Manage 1 (M1): Wetlands that were placed into the Manage 1 category generally
provided high functions for vegetative diversity and wildlife habitat with some functions
for water quality protection and flood attenuation.
Manage 2 (M2): Wetlands that were placed into the Manage 2 category generally
provided some functions for vegetative diversity and wildlife habitat with high functions
for water quality protection and flood attenuation.
Manage 3 (M3): Wetlands that were placed into the Manage 3 category generally
provided the functions for water quality protection and flood attenuation.
Appeal of a Management Classification: In the event of a dispute concerning wetland
management classification, the applicant or project proposer will be required to submit a Request
for Appeal to the City’s Engineer. The Request for Appeal must include the wetland number,
current classification, and reason(s) for the appeal. A functional assessment may 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, if the Request for Appeal is submitted outside of the growing season. A notice of the
City’s decision on the management classification appeal will be sent to the appealing party and
the regulatory agencies. This notice will indicate either the revised management classification (if
the City concurs with the appeal) or the existing management classification and the management
and protection strategies assigned to the wetland by support of this document. Staff will make a
decision within 60 days of receiving a complete request of appeal (or within the appropriate time
period after the growing season begins if the application was submitted outside of the growing

IX. Wetland Management Policies
A. 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 basin 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 storm water 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 storm water runoff.
In compliance with state requirements, the City has developed and implemented a
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) which focuses on the preventative
aspects of storm water pollution. The SWPPP is a combination of Best Management
Practices (BMPs), ordinance, and public education tools used to prevent storm water
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 available on the City’s webpage.
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
the Citizens Assisted Monitoring Program (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.
B. 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. 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
Page 19
February 2013
protection for wetlands existing under state or federal law but rather specifies proactive
management strategies scaled to the current functional levels of Rosemount wetlands.
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, storm water treatment, mitigation
requirements, and public education.
1. Wetland Buffer Zones and Prioritization
Wetland Buffer Zones are upland areas that contain natural areas of vegetation designated
by a LGU 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
• Deterring human encroachment
• Provide habitat connections for wildlife
Dense native vegetation is the optimal condition for an effective wetland buffer zone.
Once established, activities in buffer zones that are not associated with the approved
buffer management plan 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 are prohibited. Herbicides and controlled burns or other management
practices used to control noxious weeds will be allowed only with permission from the
City Engineer.
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 outlined below and described in Table
IX-1. Additional buffer zone may be required above and beyond the prescribed width if
determined necessary and feasible by the City Engineer.
Preserve: 75 feet
Manage1: 50 feet
Manage 2: 30 feet
Manage 3: 15 feet (non-agricultural areas)
In addition to the buffers, the City requires a 30’ structure setback from the buffer to
allow for usable yard space.
Buffers will be contained within a conservation easement that includes both the wetland
and the buffer. A sample of the City’s conservation easement can be obtained from the
City. The conservation easements will be recorded with the final plat and must be
indicated on subsequent land development plans. The extent of the conservation
Page 20
February 2013
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 construction of bike paths or trails through designated wetland buffers will be
determined administratively by City staff. The applicant must demonstrate that the
placement of the trail does not 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.
All projects will need to take into account a buffer prioritization review. This
prioritization review involves the following and is required to be included in a wetland
application:
a) Projects shall include the buffer and setback standards. However, no wetlands
shall be filled or impacted in order to provide for the appropriate buffer.
b) In cases where meeting the setback standard causes impact to the wetland or
the buffer, flexibility on the wetland setback will be considered.
c) In cases where meeting the buffer standard causes impact to the wetland,
flexibility on the buffer will be considered. When flexibility in the buffer
width is determined to be necessary by the City, the project proposer or
applicant must consider the following:
• The buffer width averaging will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
• The buffer plan will take into account landscape connections and habitat
corridors needs to be incorporated into the buffer plan. See definition of
buffer averaging in Section III.
• The buffer plan will include the percent of the buffer that will be impacted
as compared to the size of the wetland.
• A minimum 30’ buffer is encouraged on P and M1 wetlands.
• A minimum 15’ buffer is encouraged on M2.
• Averaged buffer acreage must be equal to or greater than the required
buffer acreage
An exception to the minimum buffer average will be considered for linear public road
projects.
Conservation easements are 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.
Page 21
February 2013
2. Buffer Establishment
For areas where seeding or buffer establishment is needed either because the buffer has
been disturbed (e.g. temporarily disturbed during grading of a development site), a buffer
establishment and maintenance plan must be developed. This can include the current
BWSR or Mn/DOT guidelines regarding planting of native species on wetland
replacement sites. Revegetation with native plants is required around wetland buffers,
when disturbed. If the wetland buffer is not disturbed as a result of development,
construction, or other activity, the existing natural vegetation shall be considered
acceptable. This exception does not apply to wetland buffers that receive replacement
credit as part of an approved replacement plan.
For projects that require buffer establishment, a Buffer Establishment and Management
Plan must be submitted for review and approval by the City. Buffer monitoring will be
required to be completed by the project proposer for a minimum of five years. The City
can extend this monitoring requirement if the buffer is not meeting performance
standards. The monitoring report shall include a summary of buffer management
activities, a quantification of the plant species present, a picture of the buffer, and
discussion of upcoming buffer management activities. The buffer will need to meet the
City’s performance standards. Information about what needs to be included in this Buffer
Establishment and Management Plan and the performance standards are in included in
Appendix E.
3. Buffers around Replacement Wetlands
Buffers will be required to be established around wetland replacement sites. If the
wetland replacement is proposed to be an expansion of an existing wetland, the buffer
width required for the existing wetland will be the required buffer width of the
replacement area, or as required in MnRule 8420.0522, Subp. 6, whichever is greater. If
the wetland replacement is a stand-alone site, the buffer width will be based on the
required buffer width of the wetland being impacted, or as required in MnRule
8420.0522, Subp. 6, whichever is greater.
4. Storm Water Pre-Treatment
Storm water can have a detrimental impact on wetlands. To alleviate the sediment and
nutrient loading such input places on wetlands, this plan includes various levels of storm
water pretreatment as follows:
Preserve: Sediment and nutrient pretreatment required, consider diversion if
possible
Manage 1: Sediment and nutrient pretreatment required
Manage 2: Sediment pretreatment required
Manage 3: Pretreatment to NPDES standards (per Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency rules) is required if these standards apply to the project
The above requirements are left somewhat open as to the particular method selected for
each case. This will allow some flexibility, especially to incorporate new technologies
and techniques. Storm water ponds will be required to be placed in easements. Final
approval of treatment methods shall in all cases be left to the City Engineer.
Page 22
February 2013
5. Storm Water Treatment Ponds within Wetland Buffer Zones
Storm water 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 storm water treatment where suspended solids
and other pollutants settle out prior to overflowing into a 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 storm water treatment ponds within wetland buffer zones
must comply with the provisions of the Comprehensive Storm Water Management Plan
(CSWMP) and this document concerning storm water treatment. The design guidelines
are available from the City.
If the area of a wetland buffer zone includes a storm water treatment pond, the buffer
zone must adhere to the following:
• Wetland buffer must be provided between the pond and the wetland and around
the perimeter of the entire system. Wetland buffer must be a minimum 15 feet
between the NWL of the pond and wetland edge.
• Only one treatment pond in the wetland buffer zone is allowed.
• Buffer area must be equal to the total buffer area required for the wetland based
on the classification prescribed in Table IX-1. The storm water pond, as
measured from the Normal Water Level (NWL), will not count towards the
buffer area.
Infiltration basins (and similar stormwater best management practices) can be placed
within the wetland buffer at the discretion and upon approval of the City Engineer. The
surface area of the infiltration basin can be included, at the discretion and upon approval
by the City Engineer, as part of the required buffer area since its function and structure is
similar to that of the buffer. In these cases, the infiltration basin should have at least 75%
cover of vegetation.
Wetlands created as part of water quality treatment systems, are eligible for replacement
credit as per MnRule 8420.0526, Subp 7.C, as amended.
6. Wetland Buffer Monuments
For all new and redeveloped land subsequent to passage of this Plan, the developer shall
be responsible for the 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 available at the City.
7. Buffers in Previously Developed Areas
In areas developed prior to the establishment of the WMP, no buffers were required.
Previously developed areas are defined as areas where final plats have been approved
prior to the adoption of this Plan in 1998. In these areas, the implementation of buffers
Page 23
February 2013
will be encouraged rather than required. Education efforts of these residents and
businesses will be used to encourage buffers in these areas for both wetlands and storm
water ponds. It is believed that most Rosemount residents will respond when the benefits
are understood and toward that end this plan recommends an intensive educational effort.

February 2013
X. Wetland Replacement
Subject to an approved sequencing evaluation, the applicant shall 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. For project specific replacement a minimum of 2 acres of Wetland
Replacement Credit and a maximum of 1 acre of Upland Buffer Credit shall replace
every acre impacted.
Manage 1: Mitigation of wetlands in this category will be at a minimum 2:1 ratio. For
project specific replacement, a minimum of 1acre of Wetland Replacement Credit and a
maximum of 1acre of Upland Buffer Credit shall replace every acre impacted. Additional
mitigation may be required MnRule 8420.
Manage 2: Mitigation of wetlands in this category will be at a minimum 2:1 ratio. For
project specific replacement, a minimum of 1acre of Wetland Replacement Credit and a
maximum of 1acre of Upland Buffer Credit shall replace every acre impacted.
Additional mitigation may be required by MnRule 8420.
Manage 3: Mitigation of wetlands in this category will be at a minimum 2:1 ratio. For
project specific replacement, a minimum of 1acre of Wetland Replacement Credit and a
maximum of 1acre of Upland Buffer Credit shall replace every acre impacted. WCA
Sequencing flexibility is applicable for these wetlands. Additional mitigation may be
required by MnRule 8420.
The City has a goal of no net loss of wetland within its political boundary, therefore replacement
for wetland impacts must be sited within the City limits, unless otherwise authorized by the City.
The wetland replacement application must contain a narrative that evaluates the wetland
replacement siting prioritization through the siting sequence to the point of the chosen wetland
replacement plan. The wetland replacement siting priority is as follows:
1. Wetland replacement within the project site;
2. Wetland replacement within the same City subwatershed drainage area as the
impacted wetland;
3. Wetland replacement within the City;
4. Wetland replacement through a BWSR approved wetland bank within the major
watershed. The use of wetland banking must be approved by City Council and will
only be considered if Items 1-3 are deemed unfeasible.
Page 26
February 2013
Wetland replacement in the form of a withdrawal of available wetland credits from a State-
approved wetland bank site, as per MnRule 8420.0522, as amended, shall be allowed at the
discretion of the City of Rosemount.
As of the date of this amendment, there are no wetland bank sites within the City of Rosemount.
A goal of the City is to identify, evaluate, and pursue wetland bank sites within the City. As
wetlands are assessed using the newly incorporated MnRAM, potential wetland restoration
opportunities will be identified that could be utilized as wetland bank sites.
In the event that project-specific wetland replacement fails, the applicant shall be responsible for
proposing and developing an alternative plan that fulfills the requirements of the approved
wetland replacement plan. The City may provide additional input or require alternative
replacement strategies that ensure the requirements of the replacement plan (WCA) are met and
that the alternative plans meet the intent of the WMP. These alternatives will be developed on a
case-by-case basis and at the discretion of the City.
Page 27
February 2013
XI. Replacement Wetland Construction Certification and Wetland Monitoring
All replacement wetlands must be certified by the City of Rosemount, as per MnRule 8420.0800,
prior to the start of the wetland monitoring period. Wetland monitoring is required by the
applicant for replacement wetlands for a period of five years, or as required as per MnRule 8420,
as amended. City staff coordinates the monitoring for all wetland replacement within 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. The
monitoring requirements as per MnRule 8420.0810, as amended, are included by reference in
this Plan.
Performance standards for replacement wetlands will be evaluated on a per-project basis by the
City based on the performance standards outlined in MR 8420.0528. Replacement Plan
Applications must contain a vegetation establishment and management plan for all wetland
replacement sites. The establishment and management plan must include performance standards
for vegetation establishment that ensure the dominance of native wetland species appropriate for
the landscape conditions of the replacement site. The City, at its discretion, may require
performance standards that differ from the applicant’s plan if the City determines the applicant’s
plan does not meet the intent of the WMP, the WCA, or may not adequately replace the lost
functions and values of the wetland that is proposed to be impacted.
For projects that require wetland buffer establishment, a buffer vegetation establishment and
management plan must be submitted for review and approval by the City. The buffer will need
to meet the City’s performance standards. Information about what needs to be included in this
plan and the performance standards are in included in Appendix E.
In accordance with MnRule 8420.0522, Subp. 9, a financial assurance, in an amount and from a
source acceptable to the City of Rosemount, is required with the Subdivision or Development
Agreement to ensure the proper establishment of the mitigation site(s). One fifth of the financial
assurance shall be returned to the developer after City approval of each yearly monitoring report
showing satisfactory vegetation establishment. The final retained amount of the assurance will
be returned upon issuance of the Certificate of Compliance indicating successful replacement of
wetland functions and values and fulfillment of any and all conditions of the approved wetland
replacement plan. The applicant must request the final review of the replacement and
demonstrate that the replacement site(s) are eligible for receipt of the Certification of
Compliance.
Page 28
February 2013
XII. 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
project or as a result of blocked drainage patterns. Wet areas created by human activity
(“incidental wetlands”) as specified in MnRules 8420.0105 not intended to produce wetland shall
not become part of this plan.
Because newly created wetlands 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. 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.
Page 29

XIII. Other Programs
A. Wetland Health Evaluation Program
The Dakota County Wetland Health Evaluation Program (WHEP) is a joint 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 program 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. WHEP has attracted national
and local attention for its innovative and unique approach to addressing wetland health.
When feasible and appropriate, wetland replacement sites may be chosen to be monitored
by WHEP. The results of the monitoring program can be incorporated into the overall
determination of whether the wetland replacement site successfully replaced the lost
functions and values of an impacted wetland. The data and trends gathered from the
WHEP program for a replacement site can be incorporated into the mitigation monitoring
reports; however, the WHEP data cannot be used as a substitute for the mitigation
monitoring reports as per MnRule 8420.
B. 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
can be found on Dakota County’s website.
C. 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,
Page 30
February 2013
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.

- Long and Farquar Lakes Nutrient TMDL - 0.005 lbs TSS/day Phosphorus (89 acres)
No reduction (0% reduction) in loading from MS4s was called for in this TMDL. Therefore, the City will continue to maintain the existing BMPs to ensure they remain sufficient to address any loading
generated from the system.
- Lower Mississippi River Basin Fecal Coliform Bacteria TMDL - 0.3 to 8.62 T-org./month for 9 MS4 Communities (area not identified)
No reduction in loading specfically for the City was identified in this TMDL. Additionally, the assumed contributing area of the City is predominantly agricultural fields that drain to landlocked depressions.
The City’s development policy would prevent any increase in loading should this area development in the future.
- Lower Vermillion River Watershed Turbidity TMDL - 57.3 lbs/day TSS (2112 acres)
No reduction (0% reduction) in loading from MS4s was called for in this TMDL. Additionally, the identified contributing area of the City is predominantly agricultural fields that drain to landlocked
depressions. The City’s development policy would prevent any increase in loading should this area development in the future.
NOTE:
It is recommended to assign each Interim Milestone (BMP) a BMP ID. You will be required to report on the status of each Interim Milestone and include a BMP ID for all structural BMPs as part of the MS4 Annual Report (see Part III.E.), so including those ID
numbers at the time of application may be useful in tracking implementation efforts. If a pond that will be included in the pond inventory (Part III.C.2.) is to be applied toward a WLA, use the same ID for both the pond inventory and TMDL tracking. Non-structural
BMPs are not required to have an ID, but it may be useful to assign it an ID for internal MS4 recordkeeping.
MPCA recommends the Implementation Dates align with the submittal of MS4 Annual Reports. Dates selected may not reflect the actual date a BMP is implemented, but shall indicate a BMP will be implemented on that date or before for that reporting year.

Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization | 3
SECTION 1: POLICY STATEMENT
The Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization (VRWJPO) is a watershed management organization as defined in the Metropolitan
Surface Water Management Act (Minn. Statutes Chapter 103B). This Act provides the VRWJPO with the power to accomplish its statutory purpose
– to protect, preserve and manage surface and groundwater systems within the Vermillion River Watershed (Watershed).
The VRWJPO has adopted a Watershed Plan pursuant to the Act and Minn. Rules Chapter 8410.
The Watershed Plan provides the management goals, objectives, and actions that the VRWJPO will use to protect, improve, preserve, and manage
water resources in the Watershed, and the need and reasonableness for standards, rules, and ordinances to enforce the objectives of the plan.
The following Standards implement the plan’s goals, objectives, and actions.
Many of the issues identified in the Plan are interrelated. The most notable interrelationship is the hydrology of the Vermillion River (River) and
the potential for change associated with various land uses and their management, especially those anticipated with urban development and
agriculture. The challenge is in accurately assessing the causes of the effects to the hydrology of the River and related water quality factors. In the
future, additional development is expected in the watershed, both the transition from agricultural to urban/ suburban uses and additional drainage
and irrigation of agricultural lands, while wastewater discharges from the Empire and Elko/New Market wastewater treatment plants have been
diverted from the river. These changes have the potential to further impact flows, water quality, and sensitive resources including wetlands and
groundwater.
Water quality is an important amenity in the Watershed – both in terms of surface water and groundwater. Stormwater can carry a variety of
pollutants, which can affect downstream areas as well as groundwater through infiltration. Water bodies assessed in terms of water quality and
found to be impaired will appear on the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) 303(d) list of impaired waters. For each of these
impairments, a total maximum daily load (TMDL) study is required. TMDLs are a process by which the sources of the pollutant are studied and
allowable loads are calculated and allocated to each source so that the waterbody will meet its intended use without impairment. Additional
pollutants in runoff from land use change and land management cannot only affect the TMDLs and the ability to address existing impairments, but
could create or expand other water quality threats such as temperature effects on aquatic life, particularly trout, which is an important local issue.
The 1999 Vermillion River Assessment found numerous streambank and channel stability problems, and that the stream types along the Main Stem
are very sensitive to disturbance, providing high sediment supplies and having a very high potential for streambank erosion. Subsequent
assessments have also documented streambank erosion on the Main Stem, primarily in reaches downstream of Farmington, where changes in land
use and land management throughout the watershed have resulted in increased flow volume, intensity, and duration, combined with poor quality
riparian vegetation, leading to bank instability. There are also economic implications due to increased volumes and flow of stormwater. In
addition to flooding, unstable stream channels over time have the ability to depress land values, damage property, endanger high value structures
and render prime building locations unbuildable, directly impacting the health, safety and welfare of the Watershed. Accelerated streambank
erosion can also increase the rate and severity of stream channel migration and resulting property loss. In addition, unstable channels undermine
4 VRWJPO Standards
bridges, clog culverts, and can otherwise damage infrastructure, requiring costly repairs and ensuring legal issues for both public agencies and
private individuals.
A number of sensitive habitats and communities exist in the watershed including designated trout stream areas, natural communities, rare species,
and wetlands. Trout and their habitats may be threatened by development without appropriate stormwater management or appropriate land
management on agricultural lands. Other sensitive resources, such as natural communities, rare species, and wetlands have been largely depleted
or have been substantially altered throughout the Watershed. This has increased the value of remaining natural communities and resources.
Wetlands can be impacted directly by development and land disturbing activities; and indirectly by hydrologic and water quality changes
associated with development and other land disturbing activities. Wetlands provide a variety of functions and values, which are important to the
overall character and function of the Watershed.
Cities and residents throughout the Watershed derive their drinking water from groundwater. High nitrates have been documented in
groundwater and wells in the eastern portions of the Watershed near the City of Hastings. The nitrates have largely been linked to agricultural
activities. Future activities without better management or adequate controls may further impact groundwater quality.
These Standards address the issues identified in the VRWJPO Watershed Plan and protect the public health, safety, welfare and natural resources
of the VRWJPO by regulating the improvement or alteration of land and waters within the Watershed to reduce the severity and frequency of high
water, to preserve floodplain and wetland storage capacity, to improve the chemical and physical quality of surface waters, to reduce
sedimentation, to preserve the hydraulic and navigational capacities of waterbodies, to preserve and protect channels and drainageways, to
promote and preserve natural infiltration areas, protect groundwater, and to preserve natural shoreline features. In addition to protecting natural
resources, these Standards are intended to minimize future public expenditures and liability on issues caused by the improvement or alteration of
land and waters.
The following Standards each begin with a subsection on Policy. The policies listed in these subsections are either paraphrased or copied from the
goals, objectives, or actions of the approved VRWJPO Watershed Plan. These policies provide the rationale for the Standards as well as other
activities and programs of the VRWJPO. The articulated policies support why the Standards are written the way they are, but it is not the intent of
the VRWJPO to accomplish these policies solely through regulatory Standards.
SECTION 2: RELATIONSHIP WITH MUNICIPALITIES AND COUNTIES
The VRWJPO recognizes that the control and determination of appropriate land use is the responsibility of the Local Governmental Units (LGUs;
i.e., municipalities and counties). In March 2007, the VRWJPO adopted Rules consistent with these Standards in the event it acquires the
authority of a watershed district under Minn. Stat. § 103B.211, Subd. 1(a)(3) .
Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization | 5
LGUs are responsible for adopting Local Water Plans (LWPs) that implement the VRWJPO Watershed Plan. Pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 103B.235, the
LGUs must complete Local Plans within a time period specified in the Watershed Plan. The Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Board must
approve local water plans. The standards in the local plans must meet or exceed the VRWJPO’s Standards, and local controls must implement the
Standards. After approval of the Local Plans the LGUs have 120 days to begin implementing the plans and 180 days to amend their official controls
which implement the Watershed Standards.
The VRWJPO may conduct selected project reviews in order to evaluate the implementation of LGU official controls.
The Cities are the LGUs within their corporate limits. The Townships are the planning and zoning authority in the unincorporated areas in Dakota
County, while Dakota County maintains permitting authority for Shorelands, Floodplain, and Individual Sewage Treatment Systems in
unincorporated areas; both the County and Townships are considered LGUs for unincorporated areas in Dakota County. Dakota County will have
permitting authority over Floodplain, Individual Sewage Treatment Systems, and general Shoreland regulations in Shoreland areas. In Scott
County, the County is the planning and zoning authority in addition to maintaining permitting authority over Shorelands and Floodplain and
Individual Sewage Treatment Systems in unincorporated areas. Thus, in the Scott County portions of the Watershed, cities are the LGUs in
incorporated areas and Scott County is the LGU in unincorporated areas.
The VRWJPO envisions two categories of permitting responsibility following adoption of the VRWJPO rules:
≈ Category 1 – VRWJPO assumes responsibility for all permitting.
≈ Category 2 – LGUs assume responsibility for all permitting.
Following VRWJPO rule adoption, the VRWJPO will evaluate local government official controls to determine if they match the VRWJPO Standards.
If a local government’s official controls are found to be insufficient (i.e., do not meet the VRWJPO Standards), the VRWJPO will implement a
permitting program in that community (Category 1).
If an LGU incorporates the VRWJPO Standards into its official controls, and demonstrates compliance with the VRWJPO Standards, that LGU will
be responsible for permitting (Category 2). The VRWJPO will require LGUs responsible for permitting to submit some proposed land alteration
plans to the VRWJPO for review and comment each year through a VRWJPO evaluation program. Land alteration plans with the following
conditions are particularly important to the VRWJPO for review:
≈ Diversions
≈ Intercommunity flows (upon request from adjoining communities)
≈ Project site size of 40 acres or more
≈ Projects that are adjacent to or appear to impact watercourses or unique natural resources
All land alteration plans that require an amendment to, or a variance from, the adopted local water plan must be submitted to the VRWJPO for
review and approval, or denial, as prescribed by Minn. Stat. § 103B.211.
6 VRWJPO Standards
The VRWJPO can enforce its permits and Rules as allowed by Minn. Stat. § Chs. 103B and 103D (Category 1). The VRWJPO may also evaluate local
government permitting programs. If these evaluations show non-compliance with the VRWJPO’s Standards and/or the local government’s official
controls, the VRWJPO will implement a permitting program in that community.
The VRWJPO may establish special subtaxing districts to collect funds to cover its cost to implement the permitting program in communities
where the VRWJPO has permitting authority. As an alternative to setting up special subtaxing districts, the VRWJPO will consider collecting permit
fees to offset the costs of implementing a permitting program.
The following presents the VRWJPO’s interpretation of how the goals, objectives, and actions in the Watershed Plan should be translated into
Standards. LGUs may adopt more restrictive standards. In addition, the VRWJPO recognizes that LGUs have different authorities and different
ways of implementing programs that will necessitate variation in language and approaches from those presented in the following Standards.
However, ordinances and official controls implementing the VRWJPO Standards must ultimately show compliance.

SECTION 4: FLOODPLAIN ALTERATION STANDARDS
4.1 Policy
It is the policy of the VRWJPO to:
A. Protect the natural function of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)-designated floodplain storage areas from
encroachment.
B. Maintain storage volumes in FEMA-designated floodplains.
C. Require Local Plans to include a provision that restricts construction of new structures in FEMA-designated floodplains.
D. Require Local Governments to adopt floodplain ordinances that are consistent with Dakota and Scott County water resources plans and
ordinances.
E. Require floodplain alterations result in “no net loss” of floodplain storage, including the preservation, restoration, and management of
floodplain wetlands.
F. Encourage local governments gain compensatory storage above direct replacement for new developments within the floodplain.
4.2 Regulation
No person or political subdivision shall alter or fill land, or build a structure or infrastructure below the Base Flood Elevation of any watercourse,
public waters, public waters wetland, or other wetland without first obtaining a permit from the appropriate LGU.
4.3 Criteria
A. Floodplain alteration or filling shall not cause a net decrease in flood storage capacity below the projected 100-year critical flood elevation
unless it is shown that the proposed alteration or filling, together with the alteration or filling of all other land on the affected reach of the
12 VRWJPO Standards
waterbody to the same degree of encroachment as proposed by the applicant, will not cause high water or aggravate flooding on other
land and will not unduly restrict flood flows.
B. Where Base Flood Elevations have been established, all new structures shall be constructed with the low floor consistent with the
minimum elevations as specified in State of Minn. R. Ch. 6120: Shoreland and Floodplain Management; Dakota County Ordinance No. 50:
Shoreland and Floodplain Ordinance; or Scott County Zoning Ordinance 71: FP, Floodplain District; as applicable.
C. Projects involving development, redevelopment, or the subdivision of land, shall establish flood storage, flowage, and drainage easements
over areas below the Base Flood Elevationof any public water, public waters wetland, or wetland.
D. Setbacks for floodplain alterations, fill, and new underground utilities; such as water, sanitary, storm sewers and interceptors, gas lines,
phone lines, and pipelines; shall be established and used along watercourses. These setbacks shall be established as follows. The
exception is for utilities that need to reach or cross the watercourse, provided the minimum impact alignment is used.
1. Where a watercourse has a sinuous flow pattern and a meander belt can be identified, the setback for new underground utilities shall
be setback 15 feet from the outer edge of the meander belt.
2. Where a sinuous flow pattern and meander belt are not readily identifiable because of past channel alterations and/or the
geomorphology of the channel, the setback established for new underground utilities shall provide for the potential for restoration
and a sinuous flow pattern as follows.
3. Where there are existing encroachments that limit full restoration of the stream to the meander widths appropriate for the stream
type, the setback shall be 15 feet from the reasonably achievable restoration width for the meander belt given the existing
encroachments.
4. Where full restoration is possible, the setback shall be 15 feet from a meander belt width established along the stream reach that has a
width 10 times the bankfull channel width. An assessment of the stream type may be completed, and meander belt widths established
according to the stream type, in place of using the above 10x formula. Note: the 1999 Vermillion River Assessment Report, or
amendments thereto, provide assessment of stream type for many reaches of the Vermillion River and is available at the Dakota SWCD
or the Dakota County offices of the VRWJPO.
5. Where buffers are required, above ground encroachments, alterations, and fill shall be consistent with the prohibited and allowed uses
and widths specified in the Buffer Standard.
E. Projects that alter floodplain boundaries, such as bridge crossings and regional ponds that increase upstream high water levels are allowed
provided that:
1. The applicant submits easements or other documentation in a form acceptable to the LGU or the VRWJPO demonstrating and
recording the consent of the owner of any land affected by the increased high water levels; and,
2. The action is consistent with other portions of these Standards, and Local, State, and Federal Regulations; and,
3. The upstream impacts, riparian impacts, and habitat impacts of the proposed action are analyzed and no detrimental impacts result, or
adverse impacts are mitigated.

A. Work to achieve no net loss of wetlands in the Watershed.
B. Replace lost wetlands in the same subwatershed whenever possible.
C. Provide equal or greater functions and values for lost wetlands at the replacement ratios dictated by the WCA.
D. Avoid direct or indirect wetland disturbance in accordance with State and Federal requirements and approved local wetland management
plans.
E. Limit the use of high quality wetlands for stormwater management where other alternatives exist.
F. Avoid fragmentation of natural areas and corridors when feasible and mitigate when unavoidable.
5.2 Regulation
No person or political subdivision shall drain, fill, excavate, or otherwise alter a wetland or public waters wetland without first submitting a
wetland application and obtaining the approval from the LGU with jurisdiction over the activity.
5.3 Criteria
A. Any drainage, filling, excavation, or other alteration of a public waters wetland or wetland shall be conducted in compliance with Minn.
Stat. § 103G.245, the WCA, Minn. R. Ch. 8420, Minn. R. Ch. 7050.0186, and regulations adopted hereunder.
B. In order to preserve WCA exemption or no loss determination, projects involving excavation in Types 1, 2, 6, and 7 wetlands must
demonstrate a beneficial purpose, such as habitat or water quality improvements, and minimize loss of wetland function as determined by
the VRWJPO or LGU.
C. A high quality (or equivalent value) public waters wetland or wetland, as determined using the Minnesota Routine Assessment Method
(MNRAM 3.0 as amended) or other state accepted functional assessment method for vegetative diversity, may not be used for stormwater
management and treatment unless the use will not adversely affect the function and public value of the wetland and other alternatives do
not exist.
D. Wetland replacement/mitigation siting must follow the priority order below:
1. Mitigation on-site
2. Mitigation within the same minor subwatershed as established by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for the “1979
Watershed Mapping Project” pursuant to Minnesota Laws 1977, chapter 455, section 33, subdivision 7, paragraph (a).
3. Mitigation within the JPO boundary
4. Mitigation within Dakota or Scott County
14 VRWJPO Standards
E. Transportation projects shall pursue wetland mitigation projects to the extent practical using the criteria above. However, this does not
preclude the use of the BWSR Replacement Program.
SECTION 6: BUFFER STANDARDS
6.1 Policy
It is the policy of the VRWJPO to:
A. Work to establish buffers, acting as filter strips, around every wetland and watercourse based on its management classification.
B. Avoid fragmentation of natural areas and corridors when feasible and mitigate when unavoidable.
C. Protect wetlands and watercourses from chemical, physical, biological, or hydrological changes so as to prevent significant adverse
impacts.
Based on program evaluation, water quality monitoring, and research, the VRWJPO may, in the future, modify standards to vary by subwatershed
or require buffers on lands in addition to developing land in order to meet water quality management objectives.
6.2 Regulation
For any lot created after March 22, 2007 or the adoption of local ordinances implementing the VRWJPO standards, a buffer shall be maintained
around the perimeter of all wetlands, watercourses, and public waters wetlands. The buffer provisions shall not apply to any lot of record as of
March 22, 2007 until such lot is subdivided. Buffer strip establishment shall apply to all lots of the proposed subdivision as a whole, regardless of
whether or not the watercourse, wetland, or public waters wetland is on a specific lot within a proposed development.
6.3 Criteria
A. Where acceptable natural vegetation exists in buffer areas, the retention of such vegetation in an undisturbed state is required unless
approval to replace such vegetation is received. A buffer has acceptable vegetation if it:
1. Has a continuous, dense layer of non-invasive perennial grasses and forbs that has been uncultivated or unbroken for at least 5
consecutive years; or
2. Has an overstory of non-invasive trees and/or shrubs that has been uncultivated or unbroken for at least 5 consecutive years; or
3. Contains a mixture of the plant communities in 1 and 2 above that has been uncultivated or unbroken for at least 5 years.
B. Buffers shall be staked and protected in the field prior to construction unless the vegetation and the condition of the buffer are considered
inadequate. Existing conditions vegetation will be considered unacceptable if:
Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization | 15
1. Physical condition of the buffer tends to channelize the flow of surface water.
2. Vegetative cover is less than 90%.
C. Where buffer vegetation and conditions are unacceptable, or where approval has been obtained to replant, buffers shall be replanted and
maintained according to the following Standards:
1. Buffers shall be planted with a native seed mix approved by the State of Minnesota, NRCS or the Dakota or Scott SWCD, with the
exception of a one-time planting with an annual nurse or cover crop. Plantings of native forbs and grasses may be substituted for
seeding. All substitutions must be approved by the LGU. Groupings/clusters of native trees and shrubs, of species and at densities
appropriate to site conditions, can also be planted throughout the buffer area.
2. The seed mix and planting shall be broadcast/installed according to the State of Minnesota, NRCS or Dakota or Scott SWCD
specifications. The selected seed mixes and plantings for permanent cover shall be appropriate for the soil site conditions and free of
invasive species.
3. Buffer vegetation (both natural and created) shall be protected by erosion and sediment control measures during construction.
4. During the first five full growing seasons, except where the LGU has determined vegetation establishment is acceptable, the owner or
applicant must replant buffer vegetation where the vegetative cover is less than 90%. The owner or applicant must assure reseeding/or
replanting if the buffer changes at any time through human intervention or activities.
D. Where a buffer is required, the LGU shall require the protection of the buffer under a conservation easement, acceptable to the LGU, or
include the buffer in a dedicated outlot as part of platting and subdivision approval, except where the buffer is located in a public
transportation right-of-way. Buffers shall also be monumented to clearly designate the boundaries of all new buffers within new
residential subdivisions. A monument shall consist of a post and a buffer strip sign approved by the LGU.
E. Alterations, including building, storage, paving, routine mowing, burning, plowing, introduction of noxious vegetation, cutting, dredging,
filling, mining, dumping, grazing livestock, agricultural production, yard waste disposal, or fertilizer application are prohibited within any
buffer. Periodic mowing or burning, or the use of fertilizers and pesticides for the purpose of managing and maintaining native vegetation
is allowed with approval of the LGU. Noxious weeds may be removed and mechanical or spot herbicide treatments may be used to control
noxious weeds, but aerial or broadcast spraying is not acceptable. Prohibited alterations would not include plantings that enhance the
natural vegetation or selective clearing or pruning of trees or vegetation that are dead, diseased or pose similar hazards, or as otherwise
clarified in Criteria F.
F. The following activities shall be permitted within any buffer, and shall not constitute prohibited alterations:
1. The following activities are allowed within both the minimum and average buffer width areas:
a. Use and maintenance of an unimproved access strip through the buffer, not more than 10 feet in width, for recreational access to
the watercourse or wetland and the exercise of riparian rights.
b. Structures that exist when the buffer is created.
16 VRWJPO Standards
c. Placement, maintenance, repair, or replacement of public roads and utility and drainage systems that exist on creation of the
buffer or are required to comply with any subdivision approval or building permit obtained from the LGU or county, so long as any
adverse impacts of public road, utility, or drainage systems on the function of the buffer have been avoided or minimized to the
extent practical.
d. Clearing, grading, and seeding are allowed, if part of an approved Wetland Replacement Plan or approved Stream Restoration
Plan.
e. A multipurpose trail through an area protected by conservation easement or in a dedicated outlot, is allowed provided it is
designed and constructed to minimize erosion and new impervious surfaces, and maintains an absolute minimum distance of at
least fifteen feet as measured from the edge of the trail nearest the water resource to the wetland or public waters wetland edge,
the bank of the watercourse, or the meander belt, and averages at least one-half the total VRWJPO identified buffer width. Where
needed to cross the watercourse, the minimum impact alignment shall be used. The area between the trail and the water resource
must be maintained in perennial vegetation in an undisturbed state excepting regular required maintenance of the buffer.
Boardwalks and pedestrian bridges associated with a multipurpose trail must be approved by the LGU or the VRWJPO.
f. The construction of underground utilities such as water, stormwater, and sanitary sewers and pipelines provided the minimum
impact alignment is used, the area is stabilized in accordance with Criteria C above, and setbacks established in the Floodplain
Alterations Standard Criteria D are met.
2. The following activities are allowed within those portions of the average buffer width that exceed the minimum buffer width:
a. Stormwater management facilities, provided the land areas are stabilized in accordance with Criteria C above, and alterations
prohibited in Criteria E above are upheld.
b. The area of shallow vegetated infiltration and biofiltration facilities, and water quality ponds not to exceed 50 percent of the

6.4 Exceptions
A. The Buffer Standards do not apply to any wetland or public waters wetland with an applicable exemption listed under the WCA, and to
those portions of wetlands that will be filled under approved wetland replacement plans per the WCA.
18 VRWJPO Standards
B. LGU Comprehensive Wetland Management Plans which prescribe required buffer widths shall be compliant with standards set by the
VRWJPO; applicable ordinances governing widths, restrictions, allowable uses, and monumentation must meet or exceed the
requirements set by the VRWJPO.
C. In areas where land use zoning provides for agricultural zoning with one building eligibility per every quarter of a quarter section (40 acres)
of property, the buffer requirement will not be exercised until such time as the land use zoning is changed to an alternate use zoning or a
higher density of residential building eligibilities. At that time, the buffer requirement will be fully implemented. For all properties seeking
a permit where this exemption would apply, the permit will require that setbacks are met which allow the future implementation of the
buffer requirement with no impact to permanent structural elements. This exemption does not include transfer of building eligibilities for
purposes of clustering.
D. The Buffer Standards do not apply to existing outlots that received preliminary plat approval in the two year period preceding March 22,

A. Minimize the movement of soil within the landscape of the watershed.
B. Reduce or mitigate the mechanisms that are the cause of soil movement to the extent practicable.
C. Capture soil that does move as close to its point of origination as possible.
D. Reduce the delivery of sediment to natural water bodies due to land disturbing activities to the extent practicable.
7.2 Regulation
No person or political subdivision shall commence a land disturbing activity or create new impervious surface, unless specifically exempted below,
without first obtaining a permit from a LGU or the VRWJPO that incorporates and approves a SWPPP for the activity, development, or
redevelopment. For sites disturbing less than one acre and not requiring stormwater facilities on site, an alternative consisting of an Erosion and
Sediment Control Plan shall be used. The LGU shall adopt an ordinance or procedure requiring erosion prevention and sediment control BMPs for
retaining sediment on site with building permits.
7.3 Criteria
A. Erosion and sediment control measures shall be consistent with Best Management Practices (BMPs), and shall be sufficient to retain
sediment on site.
B. All temporary erosion and sediment controls shall be installed on all down gradient perimeters before commencing the land disturbing
activity, and left in place and maintained as needed until removed per LGU approval after the site had been stabilized. All permanent
erosion control measures shall be installed and operational per the design and as required by the LGU.
C. Erosion and sediment controls shall meet the standards for the General Permit Authorization to Discharge Storm Water Associated With
Construction Activity Under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System/State Disposal System Permit Program Permit MN
R100001 (NPDES General Construction Permit) issued by the Minnesota Pollutant Control Agency, June 25, 2013, as amended, for projects
disturbing more than 1 acre.
D. Final stabilization of the site must be completed in accordance with the NPDES General Construction Permit requirements.
E. All on-site stormwater conveyance channels shall be designed and constructed to withstand the expected velocity of flow from a 10-year
frequency storm without erosion.
F. If the activity creates more than 1 acre of disturbed area, and the activity is taking place on a site where soils are currently disturbed (e.g., a
tilled agricultural site that is being developed), areas that will not be graded as part of the development and areas that will not be
stabilized according to the timeframes specified in the NPDES General Construction permit Part IV.B. 2, shall be seeded with a temporary or
permanent cover before commencing the proposed land disturbing activity.
Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization | 21
7.4 Exceptions

B. Require land disturbing activities to address impacts on water resources, including cumulative impacts.
C. Require development plans to consider impacts on local natural resources and corresponding receiving waters.
D. Minimize impacts of runoff from land disturbing activities and preserve in-stream conditions supportive of a viable trout fishery by
developing stormwater rate and volume control techniques.
E. Develop standards that include requirements for controlling stormwater runoff by minimizing impervious surfaces, maximizing infiltration,
requirements for cities and townships to control stormwater rates crossing municipal boundaries, and creating stormwater stor age that
addresses not only peak flows for extreme events, but takes into account the cumulative effects of runoff volume, and will include
stormwater rate control requirements.
F. Mitigate and reduce impacts of past increases in stormwater discharge on downstream conveyance systems.
G. Improve the condition of waterbodies in the watershed included on the MPCA impaired waters [303(d)] list so that these waterbodies can
be removed from the list.

22 VRWJPO Standards
8.2 Regulation
No person or political subdivision shall commence a land disturbing activity or create new impervious surfaces, unless specifically exempted below,
without first obtaining a permit from a LGU or the VRWJPO that incorporates and approves a SWPPP for the activity, development, or
redevelopment.
8.3 Criteria
Stormwater management criteria are presented separately below for post construction water quality, runoff temperature control, peak runoff
rate control, and runoff volume control.
A. Post Construction Water Quality Criteria
1. Post construction stormwater runoff quality measures shall meet the standard for the General Permit Authorization to Discharge
Storm Water Associated with Construction Activity under the NPDES General Construction Permit issued by the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency, June 25, 2013, as amended; except where more specific requirements are provided in paragraphs 2, 3, 4, and 5 below.
2. Infiltration/filtration options described under Runoff Volume Control Criteria are the preferred approach to satisfying the water quality
treatment requirements of the NPDES General Construction Permit in areas that drain to the trout stream portions of the Vermillion
River and its tributaries where such areas do not first drain to a waterbody with 10 or more acres of open water.
3. Ponds with permanent wet pools are allowed in areas tributary to the trout stream portions of the Vermillion River and its tributaries
where such areas do not first drain to a waterbody with 10 or more acres of open water, if the applicant demonstrates:
a. No net increase in the temperature of the discharge for the 2-year 24-hour event with the use of alternative technologies and has
met the Volume Control requirements of these Standards; or
b. That the wet pond is designed for zero discharge for the 2-year, 24-hour storm; or
c. That the Volume Control requirements of these Standards are met and the following measures are used to the extent practical in
order of decreasing preference:
i. The wet pond is designed with a combination of measures such as shading, filtered bottom withdrawal, vegetated swale
discharges, or constructed wetland treatment cells that will limit temperature increases.
ii. Additional volume control measures and credits are used beyond that required to meet the Runoff Volume Standards as a
means of limiting the frequency and duration of discharges from the pond.
4. The water quality control volumes necessary to meet the NPDES General Construction Permit that are satisfied using infiltration or
filtration technologies (filtration only on Type C and D soils) can count toward the Volume Control requirements of these Standards.
5. Ponds with overflows or outlets located below the seasonally high water table are allowed only where it can be demonstrated that
there is a reasonable need for such an outlet to control seepage damage to existing structures.
Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization | 23
6. Redevelopment (see definitions) projects are required to incorporate water quality BMPs to the maximum extent practicable.
B. Runoff Temperature Control Criteria
Post construction runoff criteria for controlling temperature increases relies on the establishment of buffers as specified in the Buffer
Standard; the prioritization of temperature sensitive BMPs such as infiltration and filtration, and the designation of temperature sensitive
wet pond design approaches in the Post Construction Water Criteria above; and the control of runoff volume increases with the Runoff
Volume Control Criteria below. No additional specific temperature criteria are incorporated since these other areas of the Standards
emphasize approaches sensitive to runoff temperature. However, since these other areas of the Standards allow flexibility, and in some
cases waivers, permit applications involving the creation of one or more acres of new impervious surface in the trout stream portions of
the Vermillion River and its tributaries where such areas do not first drain to a waterbody with 10 or more acres of open water:
1. Must include a narrative description of the temperature sensitive practices incorporated; and
2. The LGU or the VRWJPO may limit or deny waivers, or may require additional runoff temperature BMPs, if the LGU or the VRWJPO
finds that the site design does not minimize the potential for runoff temperature increases.
C. Peak Runoff Rate Control Criteria
1. A hydrograph method based on sound hydrologic theory will be used to analyze runoff for the design or analysis of flows and
water levels.
2. Runoff rates for proposed activities, and development shall:
a. Apply land cover conditions existing in 2005 as the baseline for existing conditions in runoff calculations.
b. Not exceed existing runoff rates for the 1-year, 10-year, and 100-year critical duration storm events.
c. Be implemented by LGUs such that peak runoff rate controls keep future peak flood flows for the Vermillion River 100-year, 4-
day event from increasing above existing conditions peak flows.
d. Numerical flow standards must be adopted at intercommunity boundaries as identified in the VRWJPO Hydrologic Model (2009
as amended) for the communities of Burnsville, Apple Valley, Rosemount, Lakeville, Farmington, Hastings, and Elko-New
Market. Those communities must apply the VRWJPO Hydrologic Model values in the calibration of their own local hydrologic
models.
3. Detention basins with permanent wet pools are allowed in areas tributary to the trout stream portions of the Vermillion River
provided Post Construction Water Quality Criteria 3 above is met.
D. Runoff Volume Control Criteria
1. Development that creates one or more acres of new impervious surface must incorporate volume control practices into the design
sufficient to prevent an increase in the runoff volume for the 2-year 24-hour storm above 2005 conditions unless waived in
accordance with Runoff Volume Control Criteria 6. Determination of the necessary control volume to achieve this Standard can be
completed by the LGU on a regional basis and included in an approved Local Water Plan, or calculated on a site-by-site basis for
each individual proposal. Runoff volume reducing practices in site design are the preferred method for meeting volume control
24 VRWJPO Standards
requirements and shall be considered prior to the design of required infiltration or filtration facilities. Practices applying the
Minnesota Minimal Impact Design Standards (MIDS) are allowed. Applicants must identify specific practices and provide
documentation of the application of the MIDS calculator in practice selection and site design. Stormwater volume reducing BMPs
other than those identified by MIDS, and their associated credits, must be approved by the VRWJPO. Final crediting must be
approved by the LGU or VRWJPO before application to final design of site stormwater volume control facility requirements.
2. The water quality control volumes necessary to meet the NPDES General Construction Permit that are satisfied using infiltration or
filtration technologies (filtration only on Type C and D soils) can count toward the Volume Control requirements of these
Standards.
3. When using infiltration for volume control, infiltration volumes and facility sizes shall be calculated using appropriate site
information and applying design criteria from the Minnesota Stormwater Manual.
4. Constructed infiltration facilities, such as infiltration basins and trenches:
a. Can only be used if there is pretreatment of stormwater runoff designed to protect the infiltration system from clogging with
sediment and to protect groundwater quality;

H. Construction of any structure on an individual lot in a subdivision with an approved SWPPP, so long as any land disturbing and stormwater
management activity complies with the approved plan.
I. Land disturbance of less than five thousand square feet in area, involving less than thirty cubic yards of soil, or that do not change existing
contours or drainage, may be exempted if there is no direct threat to a water resource from the activity.
SECTION 9: DRAINAGE ALTERATION STANDARDS
9.1 Policy
It is the policy of the VRWJPO to:
A. Use existing natural retention and detention areas for stormwater management to maintain or improve existing water quality.
B. Manage stormwater to minimize erosion.
C. Allow outlets from landlocked basins, provided such outlets are consistent with State and Federal regulations, and the downstream
impacts, riparian impacts, and habitat impacts of such outlets have been analyzed and no detrimental impacts result.
D. Mitigate and reduce the impact of past increase in stormwater discharge on downstream conveyance systems.
E. Address known flooding/erosion problems that cross jurisdictional boundaries and address other boundary issues and the
diversion/alteration of watershed flows in local water plans.
F. Address gully erosion problems in the watershed.
G. Maximize upstream floodwater storage.
9.2 Regulation
No person or political subdivision shall artificially drain surface water, or obstruct or divert the natural flow of runoff so as to affect a drainage
system, or harm the public health, safety, or general welfare of the VRWJPO, without first obtaining a permit from the LGU or the VRWJPO.
Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization | 27
9.3 Criteria
A. Outlets from landlocked basins with a tributary drainage area of 100 acres or more will be allowed, provided such outlets are consistent
with other portions of these Standards, State and Federal regulations, and the downstream impacts, riparian impacts, and habitat impacts
of such outlets have been analyzed and no detrimental impacts result. The analysis and determination of detrimental impacts shall:
1. Use a hydrograph method based on sound hydrologic theory to analyze runoff for the design or analysis of flows and water levels;
2. Ensure a hydrologic regime consistent with the Peak Runoff Rate Control Criteria and the Runoff Volume Control Criteria of these
Standards;
3. Ensure the outlet does not create adverse downstream flooding or water quality conditions, or materially affect stability of
downstream watercourses;
4. Maintain dead storage within the basin to the extent possible while preventing damage to property adjacent to the basin;
5. Ensure that the low floors of new structures adjacent to the basin are set consistent with the Floodplain Alterations Standards; and
6. Ensure that proposed development tributary to the land-locked basin has incorporated runoff volume control practices to the extent
practicable.
B. Artificial drainage, flow obstruction, and diversions involving watercourses, public waters, public waters wetlands, wetlands with drainage
areas of 640 acres or more, will be allowed provided such alterations or diversions are consistent with other portions of these Standards,
State and Federal regulations, and the downstream impacts, riparian impacts, and habitat impacts of such alterations or diversions have
been analyzed and no detrimental impacts result. Proposals for drainage alterations and diversions shall demonstrate that:
1. There is a reasonable necessity for such drainage alteration or diversion to improve or protect human health and safety, or to improve
or protect aquatic resources;
2. Reasonable considerations have been made and actions taken to avoid unnecessary injury to upstream and downstream land and
water resources;
3. The utility or benefit accruing to the land on which the drainage will be altered outweighs the harm resulting to the land receiving the
burden; and
4. The drainage alteration or diversion is being accomplished by improving and aiding the normal and natural system of drainage
according to its natural carrying capacity, or, in the absence of a practicable natural drain, a reasonable and feasible artificial drainage
system that does not create adverse impacts is being implemented.
C. Drainage alterations, diversions, and landlocked basin outlets shall be provided with stable channels and outfall.
9.4 Exceptions
A. No permit shall be required where it is demonstrated that the proposed drainage alteration or diversion does not cause off-site erosion,
sedimentation, flooding, or other damage.
28 VRWJPO Standards
B. The LGU or the VRWJPO may waive the requirements regarding upstream and downstream flooding impacts if the applicant submits
easements or other documentation in form acceptable to the LGU or the VRWJPO demonstrating and recording the consent of the owner
of any land burdened by the proposed alteration.
SECTION 10: AGRICULTURAL STANDARDS
The VRWJPO approach to Agricultural Standards is voluntary at this time and is based on:
A. Requiring a Stewardship Management Plan as part of being eligible to receive cost share for incentive practices sponsored by the VRWJPO;
and
B. Implementation of the Minnesota Nitrogen Fertilizer Management Plan of 2015 and the Pesticide Management Plan of 2005.
The VRWJPO recognizes that the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) is the lead state agency for most pesticide and fertilizer
environmental and regulatory functions (Minn. Statute Ch. 18B and 18C). In accordance with the 1989 Groundwater Protection Act, the MDA has
developed a strategy for addressing groundwater contamination from agricultural sources. This strategy focuses on promoting new or updated
voluntary BMPs. A regulatory approach may be taken, if the implementation of voluntary BMPs is ineffective and BMPs are not widely adopted
given a reasonable timeframe for implementation.

WSB Project No.100533 City of Rosemount Stormwater Trunk Fee Justific¢tion Report asB
I. IntYoduction
This report has been prepared for the City of Rosemount to provide documentation
and support to the stormwater tnuik fee that the City intends to assess property
owners developing land within the City. The fee outlined in this report is intended to
be approximate and will be refined by Springstead Incorporated based on a further
analysis of carrying costs and ca.sh flow considerations. This fee will assist in
tfunding future stormwater trunk conveyance system improvements proposed by the
City(Appendix A,Figure 1).
For the purpose of calculating a stormwater tnuik fee, a stormwater trunk conveyance
system is defined as a drainage system that accommodates stormwater runoff from
parcels of land that are outside of the ownership of a given property owner. A
regional ponding system is defined as a ponding system that provides stormwater
storage and treatment for more than one parcel. Stormwater trunk fees are necessary
in order for the City to provide assurances that:
1. An adequate drauiage system can be financed and constructed so that stormwater
runoff from parcels within the City can be reasonably accommodated through
downstream areas.
2. The City can acquire property for constructing the storm sewer system while new
development takes place so that the plans of both the City and the developer can
be coordinated.
3. Property owners within the City will be treated fairly. T'he implementation of this
fee will allow new developments to pay for trunk infrastructure improvements
that are needed to accommodate the new development. Failure to implement this
fee would result in all taxpayers in the City paying for the cost of improvements
that are for the most part only benefiting newly developing areas. The
implementation of this program will also allow the City to compensate property
owners for the additional cost associated with developing property that has
stormwater runoff passing through it from upstream drainage areas.
The following sections contain a description of the procedures and methods followed
in developing the trunk conveyance and ponding system design, a breakdown of the
capital costs associated with the construction of the system, and stormwater trunk fee
calculations.
II. Procedures and methods followed
The capita.l costs associated with installation of a trunk conveyance and ponding
system for the City can generally be broken out into the capital costs associated with
securing the land, and the capital costs associated with furnishing and installing the
stormwater storage,treatment, and conveyance systems within the City.
WSB Project No.1005-33 City of Rosetnount Stormwater Trunk Fee Justification Report Page 2
As part of developing these costs, the City's engineering design standards associated
with construction of trunk conveyance and ponding systems were used. Toward this
end, please find outlined below the following specific design standards and
considerations used in the development of the City's trunk conveyance and ponding
fees.
A. Main trunk and lateral trunk conveyance design
The City will work toward constructing gravity outlets for most systems. In
cases where it can be demonstrated through a cost benefit analysis that the
costs for using a lift station will be less than that associated with a gravity
1 system, consideration for a lift station outlet from a given drainage area will
be considered.
r The storm sewer conveyance system will be designed to accommodate the
rates outlined in the City's Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan.
It will be the developer's responsibiliiy to convey stormwater runoff from a
given site to the designated trunk conveyance and ponding system. The
construction of these systems from the site to the tnuik conveyance and
ponding system will accommodate a 10-year return frequency rainfall event.
Overland overflows must also be available for these areas that are to be
designed to meet the freeboard requirements in the City's Comprehensive
Stormwater Management Plan.
The City will give consideration to utilizing open drainage ways instead of
storm sewers in situations where such a system can be built at reduced cost
provided it can be demonstrated that long-term maintenance of that facility
will not warrant the use of a lower maintenance but more capita.l intensive
piping system.
B. Regional ponding, infiltration, and treatment design
Stormwater storage will need to be provided for area.s in their fully developed
condition for a critical duration rainfall event having a 1% chance of
occurrence in any given year.
In accordance with general direction developed through the Nationwide Urban
Runoff Program (NURP) and the Directives of the Metropolitan Council,
developers will be required to provide treatment for stormwater runoff by
constructing treatment ponds with dead water storage volumes equal to the
runoff volume from a 2.5" rainfall event. Basin geometrics including length
to width ratios and average depth will also be designed m accordance with the
direction provided by NURP and Metropolitan Council Directives.
Stormwater retention and treatment ponds will be lined with an impermeable
membrane or soils in areas where land use activities are believed to provide a
WSB Project No.I005-33 City of Rose nount Stormwater Trunk Fee Justification Report Page 3
significant potential for groundwater contamination. In cases where basins
are constructed as two-cell systems, the primary cell will be lined but it will
not be necessary to line the secondary cell with an impermeable membrane.
Infiltration will be incorporated into the design to the extent reasonable and
practical so as to provide a rate 1/12 of an acre-foot per tributary acre per day.
Side slopes associated with the construction of the retention and treatment
basins must be maintained at 10:1 over the first 10 feet waterward, followed
by a maximum of 4:1 slope in the interior of these basins. This requirement
does not apply in areas where natural depressions aze going to be used to
provide retention and treatment.
The outlets from treatment basins will have a design configuration such that
skimming of oil and floatables will be provided for low flow discharges. A
two-stage design configuration for the pond shall also be utilized for these
systems to improve retention and treatment functions of the basin.
T'he City will attempt to delay construction of downstream retention and
treatment facilities until such time as property in these areas is under
development. In cases where an upstream system must be provided an outlet,
the City will consider utilizing portable pumps to maintain normal water
elevations in designated stormwater storage area.s.
C. Methods associated with estimating revenue and cost
The City anticipates using the stormwater trunk fee as a source of revenue to
assist in funding necessary improvements to the City's storm drainage system.
It is anticipated the storm water utility fees will generally be used for
maintaining and replacing the system.
It is anticipated that in order for the City to construct tnuik storm drainage
systems, it may be necessary for the City to bond for system improvements in
order to allow development to occur. Once development occurs, the trunk
conveyance and ponding fees collected, as a part of this development will be
utilized to reimburse the trunk fund and pay offthe bonds.
It ha.s been assumed that no revenue will be generated from areas outside of
the City's municipal boundaries that dra.in into the City unless a joint powers
agreement has been drafted between the City and an adjoining governmental
unit that addresses each community's responsibility relative to funding the
construction of such systems.
Project costs for land a.cquisition and improvements have been derived from
an engineer's estimate of average costs based on a variety of land acquisition
and construction scenarios. The typical scenario utilized herein assumes that
WSB Project No.1005-33 City of Rosemount Stormwater Trunk Fee Justification Report Page 4
the City would attempt to construct most projects concurrently with land
development activities.
The prelimi.nary design and cost estimates for systems were developed using
reasonable care. However, it will be necessary to periodically update the
design assumptions and cost estimates contained herein. It is anticipated that
this section of this report will be reviewed and updated annually or as
necessary to reflect changes in construction costs or changes in the
assumptions utilized for the trunk system design. Changes in construction
costs will generally be tied to the Engineering News Record Construction
Cost Index.
The stormwater trunk fee will consist of a main trunk fee, lateral trunk
conveyance fee, and a stormwater ponding fee. The main trunk and the lateral
trunk line stormwater conveyance fees will be based on the total cost
I
associated with the construction of the system divided by the acreage
assessed. The stormwater ponding fee will be determined by calculating the
cost to provide ponding and treatment for a 100-acre site divided by the net
developable acreage within that site
It is the intention of the City to apply the stormwater trunk and/or regional
ponding fees to all properties that are developing, provided that these
properties have not previously paid a trunk conveyance and/or ponding fee or
storm sewer assessment that equals or exceeds the trunk and ponding fees in
this report. In cases where a special benefit fee was applied to a given parcel
as part of the stormwater utility fee, consideration will be given for a
reduction in the stormwater trunk fee if it is deemed reasonable to do so.
The cost associated with the trunk conveyance and ponding fees include
administrative, legal, pernutting, and engineering costs for all trunk and
ponding drainage improvements. Theses administrative, legal, permitting, and
engineering costs were estimated at 35%of the consixuction costs.
Cost calculations associated with the excavation of material to construct
stormwater storage in the conveyance systems is based on the assumption that
material excavated will be rernoved at$2.00 per yard.
The City will require developers to provide at na cost easements or outlot
dedications over parcels that will be utilized for stormwater storage,treatment,
or conveyance system construction to accommodate runoff from their site. In
addition, parks, floodplain, and wetland areas will also be required to be
dedicated to the City at no cost. The above areas that are dedicated will be
subtracted from the total acreage so that trunk conveyance and regional
ponding fees are not assessed against these areas.
WSB Project No.1005-33 City of Rosemount Stormwater Trunk Fee Justification Report Page S
IIl. Service aYea and t unk fee districts
The service area associated with the City's trunk conveyance and ponding system will
include all areas within the City's municipal boundary. For the purposes of
developing the trunk conveyance and ponding fees within this area, three districts
were identified. These districts are shown on Figures 2 and 3 in Appendix A and
include the following:
Area 1 - Previously developed district: This district includes the area that has
been developed or has already paid a stormwater hunk and/or ponding fee as of
the adoption of this report. This acreage is not included in the txunk conveyance
and ponding fee calculations as it is unlikely revenue will be generated from land
in this district.
Area 2 -Lateral trunk conveyance system distyzct: This district includes all of
the developable area within the City that is not within Area 1 (Appendix A,
Figure 2). Lateral trunk conveyance and ponding systems in this area are
intended to convey, store, and treat stormwater prior to discharge into the main
trunk conveyance line. This azea is anticipated to generate lateral trunk system
and ponding fees.
Area 3 -Main trunk system district: Area 3 contains all of the developable area
within Area 2 with the exception of the University of Minnesota property and the
Flint Hills Company property (Appendix A, gure 3). This area is anticipated
to benefit from a main trunk canveyance system and is anticipated to develop in
the future. The University of Minnesota property and the Flint Hills Company
property have a very low probability of developing in the foreseeable future and
therefore this acreage has been removed from the acreage that will generate
revenue. This area is anticipated to generate a main trunk system fee.
IY. Main trunk and late al conveyance system costs and fee calculations
For purposes of dete ining the stormwater trunk conveyance fee, two separate fees
were calculated. One fee was based on the construction of the main stormwater trunk
conveyance system and the second fee was based on construction of the lateral
stormwater trunk conveyance system and ponding.
The main trunk line consists of one stormsewer outlet that begins at basin 1864
located north of CSAH 42 and east of the Bloomfield 4'addition and continues to the
Mississippi River (Appendix A, Figure 3). All other stormwater improvements,
including lift stations, are part of the lateral systems (Appendix A,Figure 2) and are
included in the lateral trunk and improvement cost calculations. Outlined below is a
narrative describing how the main trunk and lateral conveyance system fees were
estimated.
WSB Project No.I005-33 City of Rosemount Stormwater Trunk Fee Justification Report Page 6
A. Lateral trunk conveyance system fees
The lateral conveyance system fee was determined by estimating the lateral trunk
conveyance system capital costs and dividing it by the net developable acreage
within the area. Outlined below is an additional breakdown of how these fees
were computed:
1. Determine the net developable acreage within the lateral trunk
conveyance dist rict
The net developable acreage within the district was determined by
subtracting areas that would not likely be developed (based on current
information) from the total drainage area within the City. The areas that
were identified as unlikely to develop include land that is covered by
lakes, wetlands, proposed storm water ponds, parks, public land, or
floodplain area.s. In addition, the City of Rosemount has been advised by
the University of Minnesota and the Flint Hills Company which owns
large parcels will not likely be developed in the foreseeable future.
Along with the above mentioned azeas, any azeas, particularly on the west
end of the City, have akeady been developed and have paid for storm
water management fees through direct assessments or other means in such
a manner that it is unlikely fees would be generated from these parcels in
the future. Based on this analysis, it is determined the City has 22,600
acres of land within its municipal boundaries, 8,745 acres have been
identified as unlikely or unsuitable for development. This analysis
indicates that approximately 13,700 acres are available to be defined as
net developable" acreage that could likely be assessed a lateral
conveyance system fee at the time of this analysis.
2. Determination of lateral trunk conveyance system costs.
A further breakdown of the capital costs associated with the construction
of the lateral conveyance system within the City is shown in Appendiz B,
Table 1. As can be observed on this table, the total capital costs
associated with the lateral trunk conveyance system is estimated at
109,900,000.
This cost reflects actual construction costs associated with the lateral trunk
storm sewer system improvements, including the cost of pipe and lift
stations, indirect costs for administrative, legal, permitting, and
engineering, which is anticipated at 35% of the construction costs, and
land acquisition costs based on acquiring a 40-foot easement over the pipe
alignment with an average land cost of$60,000 per acre residential land
use and$90,000 per acre commerciaUindustrial land use.
WSB Project No.1005-33 • City of Rosemount Stormwater Trunk Fee Justification Report Page 7
3. Lateral trunk conveyance system fee calculation
The fee associated with the lateral trunk conveyance system was
calculated by taking the cost of $109,900,000 for the lateral trunk
conveyance system divided by the 13,700 acres benefited.
The lateral trunk conve ance fee: 0.1842 er s uare footYPq
B. Determination of main trunk system fee
The main trunk system fee was determined by estimating the main trunk
conveyance system capital cost and dividing the cost by the net developable
acreage within the district. Outlined below, please find additional discussion on
the process followed in completing tlus deternzulation:
1. Determination of net developable acres within the main trunk
conveyance and ponding district
The net developable acreage within the main trunk district is determined
by subtracting currently developed acreage and acreage having land use
associated with lakes,wetlands,proposed storm water ponds,parks,public
land, and floodplain areas from the total area. Based on the City's tota.l
acreage being estimated at 22,600 acres, and the currently developed areas
along with lakes, wetlands, proposed storm water ponds, etc. covering
15,100 acres, the estimated remaining net developable area within this
district is estimated at 7,500 acres .
2. Determination of main trunk conveyance system costs.
The capital costs associated with construction of the main conveyance
system within the City is estimated at$29,000,000 as shown in Table 1 of
Appendi c B. This cost reflects actual construction costs, indirect costs
associated with administrative, legal,permitting, and engineering activities
estimated at 35% of the construction costs), and the cost for acquiring
ea.sements over proposed pipe alignment. These easement costs were
based on securing a typical easement width of 100 feet across this
conveyance system and having to pay average line costs of$60,000 per
acre.
3. Ma n trunk conveyance system fee calculation
The fee associated with the main trunk conveyance system was calculated
by taking the cost of$29,000,000 for the lateral trunk conveyance system
divided by the 7,500 acres benefited. The fee is not rounded to the nearest
cent for administrative application in determining the per acre fee.
The rnain trunk conveyance fee: 0.0888 per square foot
WSB Project No. 1005-33 City ofRosemount Stormwater Trunk Fee Justification Report Page 8

Table 1 in Appendig B summarizes the capita.l costs associated with the development
of the main trunk and lateral trunk conveyance systems. Lateral trunk and main trunk
fees are outlined on Table 2 of Appendix B.
V. Stormwater ponding system costs and fee calculation
The costs associated with constructing trunk stormwater storage and treatment
facilities aze not included in the main or lateral trunk conveyance costs. The trunk
conveyance fee outlined in Section IV covers only the cost associated with trunk
conveyance systern improvements.
Separate costs are, however, mcluded herem for stormwater storage and treatment
system construction. These costs are included to allow the City to design and
construct regional stormwater storage, treatment, and infiltration ponds and assess
developmg property for such regional unprovements when it is deemed reasonable to
do so. Under these conditions, if the City advises the developer they must utilize
regional ponding systems, they will not be required or allowed to provide on-site
ponding.
The stormwater trunk ponding fee was developed by considering the stormwater
storage and treahnent needs for a 100-acre parcel with residential 1-3 lots/acre,
residential>31ots/acre, and commerciaUindustrial land use.
The following assumptions were made to determine the trunk ponding fee:
The detention storage required is the volume determined to be necessary to reduce
the 100-year, critical event peak discharge rate to the rates outlined in the City's
Stormwater Management Plan.
The land area required to provide ponding was based on an average live water
storage depth of four feet.
In cases where land acquisition is required through the purchase of property, the
average land cost was estimated at $60,000/acre for residential and $90,000/acre
for coxnmerciaUindustrial developments.
Based on this assessment, to compensate the City for providing these trunk ponding
facilities, the following fees will be assessed to developing property where trunk
ponding facilities are available or will be constructed:
Residential lots having densities of 1-31ots/acre: 0.0877/s , footq
Residential lots with densities greater than 31ots/acre:0.1359/sq, foot
CommerciaUIndustrial Land: 0.2070/sq, foot
WSB Project No. I005-33 City of Rose nount Stor nwater Trunk Fee Justifccation Report Page 9

A breakdown and summary of the costs used to determine the stormwater trunk
ponding fee is shown on Table 3 of Appendix B. A summary of the fee calculations
can be seen in Table 4 of Appendig B.
Vl. Policy administ ation
The trunk conveyance and ponding fee program will be administered by the City as
outlined in the following procedure:
1. For Residential Development:
a. The developer will submit plans and calculations to the City.
b. The City will review the plans and calculations to determine if the
design is reasonable, cost effective, and in conformance with the City's
standards for drainage system design. Area calculations will also be
reviewed to determine the area over which the stormwater trunk fee
would apply.
c. The City will include a condition of approval for the final plat requiring
payment of the trunk stormwater fees prior to recording the plat.
d. The City will calculate the stormwater trunk fee based on the land area
information and hydrologic calculations submitted by the developer.
This total amount due is then forwarded to the City Clerk.
e. The City Clerk will collect payments made by the developer.
In the case of properties that have akeady been developed but have not paid a
stormwater trunk fee because they were platted prior to the effective date of the
stormwater trunk fee ordinance, the appropriate fee will be collected at such time as
any new building permit is issued in accordance with the following procedure:
2. For Industt ial and Commercial Development:
a.The property owner shall submit a survey and area calculation for the
site.
b. The City will calculate the stormwater trunk fee based on the land area
information submitted.
c.The City will collect payments made by the property owner at the time
of building permit issuance.
The City will also reserve the right to annually update this report and/or fee amount, as
well as any service area expansions, subject to City Council approval.

1 VII. Sufnmary
This justification report for stormwater trunk fees has been prepared for the City to
provide documentation to support these fees that the City intends to assess property
owners that are developing land within the City. These fees are necessary in order for
the City to fund and construct storm drainage facilities that are needed to
accommodate runoff from developing property in the City.
The costs a.ssociated with constructing the drainage system in the City were based on
developing a system that meets the City Engineering design standards associated with
the construction of new stormwater retention and treatrnent facihhes, as well as
conveyance systems. The City's Engineering design standazds utilized in estimating
the future cost for the trunk conveyance and ponding system are outlined in Section II
of this report.
To allow for fair assessment of fees within the City, three trunk fee districts were
defined in Section III of this report. The potential for future development of property
within the City wa.s the basis for the determination of these areas. Based on this
analysis, 13,700 acres were identified as potential net developable acreage assuming
the University of Minnesota and Flint Hills Company Properties are fully developed
and assessed for these improvements.
If the University of Minnesota and Flint Hills Company Properties aze not developed
in the foreseeable future as both property owners have clearly indicated to the City of
Rosemount, the net developable acreage within this district would be reduced to 7,500
acres.
Area 2 Net developable acreage 13,700'
Includes University of Minnesota and Koch Refining Company properties
Area 3 Net developable acreage 7,500
The capital costs associated with construction of the trunk conveyance and ponding
systems in the City are outlined in Sections IV and V of this report. The anticipated
capital costs associated with the construction of these systems are broken out into costs
for land acquisition for both the retention and treatment facilities, as well a.s
conveyance system facilities, and the construction costs for the retention and treatment
facilities, as well as conveyance system facilities. A summary of main trunk and
lateral conveyance and ponding costs is located in Table 1 of Appendiz B.
Cost for main trunk line 29,000,000
Cost for lateral trunk system improvements 109,900,000
Cost for regional ponding and infiltration 52,100,000
Total cost of all improvements 191,000,000
WSB Project No.1005-33 City ofRosemount Stormwater Trunk Fee Justifccation RepoK Page Il
Main trunk and lateral trunk conveyance system fees were calculated by dividing the
cost of the tnank system improvements divided by the assessable acreage. These
values are defined in Section IV of this report and summarized in Table 2 of
Appendiz B.
The lateral trunk conveyance fee: 0.1842/sq. foot
The main trunk conveyance fee: 0.0888/sq. foot
Stormwater ponding fees were deternuned in this report by calculating the cost to
provide ponding and treatment on a 100-acre site divided by the net developable
acreage within that site. Section V of this report contains the calculations associated
with stormwater ponding system costs and fees. Summaries of costs and fees
a.ssociated with the stormwater ponding system are located in Table 3 of Appendix B
tand Table 4 of Appendix B respectively.
Residentiallots having densities of 1-3 lots/acre: 0.0877/sq.foot
Residential lots with densities greater than 31ots/acre: $0.1359/sq. foot
CommerciaUIndustrial Land: 0.2070/sq, foot
The total stormwater trunk fee for the City was determined by summing the main
trunk and later trunk conveyance system fees with the stormwater ponding fees.
Below is a summary of the total stormwater trunk fee organized by proposed land use.
A breakdown of these values is included in Table 5 of Appendix B.
Residential lots 1-31ots/acre: 0.3607/sq. foot
Residential lots>31ots/acre: 0.4089/sq. foot
CommerciaU Industrial: 0.4800/sq. foot

CITY OF ROSEMOUNT COMPREHENSIVE SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
APPENDICES
APPENDIX Q – CITY ORDINANCES
Chapter 1
SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT
10-1-1: STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION:
This chapter is adopted pursuant to Minnesota statutes, section 462.351 (1990). (Ord. 2015-01, 2-17-
2015)
10-1-2: FINDINGS:
The city hereby finds that uncontrolled and inadequately planned use of wetlands, woodlands, natural
habitat areas, areas subject to soil erosion and areas containing restrictive soils adversely affects the
public health, safety and general welfare by impacting water quality and contributing to other
environmental problems, creating nuisances, impairing other beneficial uses of environmental
resources and hindering the ability of the city to provide adequate water, sewage, flood control, and
other community services. In addition, extraordinary public expenditures may be required for the
protection of persons and property in such areas and in areas which may be affected by unplanned
land usage. (Ord. 2015-01, 2-17-2015)
10-1-3: PURPOSE:
The purpose of this chapter is to promote, preserve and enhance the natural resources within the city
and protect them from adverse effects occasioned by poorly sited development or incompatible
activities: by regulating land disturbing or development activities that would have an adverse and
potentially irreversible impact on water quality and unique and fragile environmentally sensitive land;
by minimizing conflicts and encouraging compatibility between land disturbing and development
activities and water quality and environmentally sensitive lands; and by requiring detailed review
standards and procedures for land disturbing or development activities proposed for such areas,
thereby achieving a balance between urban growth and development and protection of water quality
and natural areas. (Ord. 2015-01, 2-17-2015)

For the purposes of this chapter, the following terms, phrases, words, and their derivatives shall have
the meanings stated below. When not inconsistent with the context, words used in the present tense
include the future tense, words in the plural number include the singular number, and words in the
singular number include the plural number. The word "shall" is always mandatory and not merely
directive.
APPLICANT: Any person who wishes to obtain a building permit, zoning or subdivision approval.
BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES (BMPs): The most effective and practicable means of erosion
prevention and sediment control, and water quality management practices that are the most effective
and practicable means to control, prevent, and minimize degradation of surface water, including
avoidance of impacts, construction phasing, minimizing the length of time soil areas are exposed,
prohibitions, pollution prevention through good housekeeping, and other management practices
published by state or designated area wide planning agencies.
BUILDING INSPECTOR: A person who has received training and is given authority by the city of
Rosemount to inspect and maintain erosion and sediment control practices.
CITY: The city of Rosemount.
CITY ENGINEER: The professional engineer designated by the city as city engineer or a
representative thereof.
CLEARING: Any activity that removes the vegetative surface cover.
CONSERVATION EASEMENT: Legal land preservation agreement between a landowner and a
municipality or a qualified land protection organization. The easement confers the transfer of usage
rights from one party to another.
CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY: A disturbance to the land that results in a change in the topography,
existing soil cover (both vegetative and nonvegetative), or the existing soil topography that may result
in accelerated stormwater runoff, leading to soil erosion and movement of sediment into surface
waters or drainage systems. Examples of construction activity may include clearing, grading, filling
and excavating. Construction activity includes the disturbance of less than one acre of total land area
that is a part of a larger common plan of development or sale if the larger common plan will ultimately
disturb one acre or more.
CONTROL MEASURE: A practice or combination of practices to control erosion, sediment transport
and attendant pollution.
CONTROL PLAN: A plan indicating the specific measures and sequencing to be used to control
grading, sediment and erosion on a development site during and after construction.
DETENTION FACILITY: A permanent natural or manmade structure, including wetlands, for the
temporary storage of runoff which contains a permanent pool of water.

political subdivision thereof engaged in a land disturbance activity.
DEVELOPMENT: Any land disturbance activity that changes the site's runoff characteristics in
conjunction with residential, commercial, industrial or institutional construction or alteration.
DEWATERING: The removal of water for construction activity. It can be a discharge of appropriated
surface or ground water to dry and/or solidify a construction site. It may require Minnesota department
of natural resources permits to be appropriated and if contaminated may require other MPCA permits
to be discharged.
DRAINAGEWAY: Any channel that conveys surface runoff throughout the site.
EROSION: Any process that wears away the surface of the land by the action of water.
EROSION CONTROL: Refers to methods employed to prevent erosion. Examples include soil
stabilization practices, horizontal slope grading, temporary or permanent cover, and construction

limited to: soil stabilization practices, limited grading, mulch, temporary or permanent cover, and
construction phasing.
EXPOSED SOIL AREAS: All areas of the construction site where the vegetation (trees, shrubs, brush,
grasses, etc.) or impervious surface has been removed, thus rendering the soil more prone to erosion.
This includes topsoil stockpile areas, borrow areas and disposal areas within the construction site.
FINAL GRADE: Excavation or fill of material to final smooth condition. Final grade completed as part
of individual site development.
FINAL STABILIZATION: A. All soil disturbing activities at the site have been completed and a uniform
(e.g., evenly distributed, without large bare areas) perennial vegetative cover with a density of seventy
percent (70%) of the native background vegetative cover for the area has been established on all
unpaved areas and areas not covered by permanent structures, or equivalent permanent stabilization
measures (such as the use of riprap, gabions, or geotextiles) have been employed;
B. For individual lots in residential construction by either: 1) the homebuilder completing final
stabilization as specified above, or 2) the homebuilder establishing temporary stabilization
including perimeter controls for an individual lot prior to occupation of the home by the
homeowner and informing the homeowner of the need for, and benefits of, final stabilization
(Homeowners typically have an incentive to put in the landscaping functionally equivalent to final
stabilization as quick as possible to keep mud out of their homes and off sidewalks and
driveways.); or
C. For construction projects on land used for agricultural purposes (e.g., pipelines across crop or
range land) final stabilization may be accomplished by returning the disturbed land to its
preconstruction agricultural use. Areas disturbed that were not previously used for agricultural
activities, such as buffer strips immediately adjacent to surface waters and drainage systems,
and areas which are not being returned to their preconstruction agricultural use must meet the
final stabilization criteria in subsection A or B of this definition.

10-1-13: STORMWATER MANAGEMENT FOR PERMANENT FACILITIES:
A. Specifications: All postconstruction stormwater management plans must be submitted to the city
engineer prior to the start of construction activity. At a minimum, applicants shall meet the
specifications set forth below and observe the standards established in NPDES construction
general permit requirements, the city's surface water management plan, and the city's "Plan
Requirements And Design Guidelines".
B. Design Criteria:
1. Volume Control: Volume control measures are required on projects to meet the water quality
criteria of the city's surface water management plan and the standard for the general permit
authorization to discharge stormwater associated with construction activity under the NPDES
construction general permit.
2. Rate Control:
a. For newly developing areas, no discharge or infiltration can be assumed for purposes of
establishing the 100-year, 24-hour storm event high water elevation. For events with longer
duration, a maximum peak stormwater discharge rate will be limited to 0.05 cfs per acre.
Redeveloping areas will be required to meet these standards to the maximum reasonable
extent practical.
b. In the event that the city will not be providing a regional system, storage of the runoff from the
100-year, 24-hour storm event is required on site.
c. Landlocked depressions that presently do not have a defined outlet and do not typically
overflow may be allowed a positive overflow to prevent damage to adjacent properties. Any
overflows from landlocked depressions will comply with the city's rate control, runoff volume
control, and low floor requirements including storing runoff from the 100-year, 24-hour storm
event for new development and restricting discharge to 0.05 cfs per acre for longer duration
storm events.
d. New storm sewer systems shall be designed to accommodate discharge rates from a 10-year
storm event.
3. Flood Control: The city requires that for any new or redevelopment, at least three feet (3') of
freeboard between the anticipated critical 100-year high water elevation and the minimum
building opening be maintained. Any deviation from the three feet (3') freeboard requirement is
subject to the following conditions and may be approved by the city engineer if the following can
be demonstrated:
a. That within the two foot (2') freeboard area, stormwater storage is available which is equal to
or exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the stormwater storage currently available in the basin below
the 100-year high water elevation.
b. That a twenty five percent (25%) obstruction of the basin outlet over a twenty four (24) hour
period would not result in more than one foot (1') of additional bounce in the basin.
c. An adequate overflow route from the basin is available that will provide assurance that one
foot (1') of freeboard will be maintained for the proposed low building opening.
4. Design Criteria Of Permanent Facilities: All permanent stormwater facilities must meet the
design criteria as provided in the city's surface water management plan.
C. Limitations And Restrictions:
1. Stormwater control facilities shall not receive discharges from or be constructed in areas where:
a. Industrial facilities are not authorized to infiltrate industrial stormwater under an NPDES
industrial stormwater permit issued by the MPCA.
b. Vehicle fueling or maintenance activities occur.
c. There is less than three feet (3') of separation between the bottom of the infiltration system to
the elevation of the seasonally saturated soils or the top of bedrock.
d. There are known groundwater contaminants or groundwater will be mobilized by the
construction of infiltration BMPs.
2. For areas where infiltration is prohibited the applicant shall consider alternative volume reduction
BMPs and the water quality volume must be treated by a wet sedimentation basin, filtration
system, regional ponding or similar method prior to the release of stormwater to surface water.
3. For linear projects with lack of right of way, easements or other permissions from property
owners to install treatments systems that are capable of treating the total water quality volume
on site, the project must maximize treatment through other methods or combination of methods
before runoff is released to nearby surface waters. Alternative treatment options include:
grassed swales, filtration systems, smaller ponds, or grit chambers. In all circumstances, a
reasonable attempt must be made to obtain right of way during the project planning and all
attempts of infeasibility must be recorded.
4. The city may restrict the use of infiltration features to meet postconstruction requirements for
stormwater management, without higher engineering review, if the infiltration techniques will be
constructed in the following areas where:
a. Soils are predominately hydrologic soil group D (clay) soils.
b. Within one thousand feet (1,000') up gradient, or one hundred feet (100') down gradient of
active karst features.
c. Drinking water supply management areas are present, as defined by Minnesota rules
4720.51000, subp. 13, unless precluded by a local unit of government with an MS4 permit.
d. Soil infiltration rates are more than 8.3 inches per hour unless soils are amended to flow the
infiltration rate below 8.3 inches per hour.
D. Exceptions: The city may authorize lesser volume control for the following situations:
1. If the project meets one of the limitations outlined above; and
2. If the owner/operator implements to the maximum extent possible other volume reduction
practices, besides infiltration, on the site but may not meet the requirements for postconstruction
stormwater management.
E. Mitigation Provisions:
1. Under certain circumstances some construction projects cannot meet the total suspended solids
(TSS) and/or total phosphorus (TP) reduction requirements for new or redevelopment projects
on the site of the original construction. When this occurs, the owner/operator will be required to
identify alternative locations where TSS and TP treatment standards can be achieved. Mitigation
project locations are chosen in the following order of preference:
a. Locations that yield benefits to the same receiving water that receives runoff from the original
construction activity.
b. Locations within the same department of natural resource (DNR) catchment area as the
original construction activity.
c. Locations in the next adjacent DNR catchment area upstream.
d. Locations anywhere within the city of Rosemount.
2. Mitigation projects shall also meet the following criteria:
a. Mitigation projects shall involve the establishment of new structural stormwater BMPs or the
retrofit of existing structural stormwater BMPs, or the use of a properly designed regional
structural stormwater BMP.
b. Previously required routine maintenance of structural stormwater BMPs cannot be considered
mitigation.
c. Mitigation projects must be finished within twenty four (24) months after the original
construction activity begins.
d. Monies received for mitigation purposes in lieu of meeting conditions for postconstruction
stormwater management shall be applied to a public stormwater project and shall comply with
this subsection.

stormwater management system.
5. Include a maintenance plan that contains, but is not limited to, the following:
a. Identification of all structural permanent stormwater management systems.
b. A schedule for regular inspections, monitoring, and maintenance for each practice. Monitoring
shall verify whether the practice is functioning as designed and may include, but is not limited
to, quality, temperature, and quantity of runoff.
c. Identification of the responsible party for conducting the inspection, monitoring and
maintenance for each practice.
d. Include a schedule and format for reporting compliance with the maintenance agreement to

11-4-19: FP FLOODPLAIN DISTRICT:
A. Purpose And Intent: The floodplain district is designed to provide floodplain management for the
city of Rosemount in accordance with Minnesota statutes1. The intent of the floodplain district is to
regulate the flood hazard areas for the purposes of reducing the risk of loss of life, loss of property,
health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services, extraordinary
public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of the tax base, all of which
adversely affect the public health, safety, and general welfare.
B. National Flood Insurance Program Compliance: This section is adopted to comply with the rules
and regulations of the national flood insurance program codified as 44 code of federal regulations
parts 59-78, as amended, so as to maintain the community's eligibility in the national flood
insurance program.
C. Definitions: The following terms and associated definition apply specifically to the floodplain district:
MANUFACTURED HOME: A structure, transportable in one or more sections, that is built on a
permanent chassis and is designed for use with or without a permanent foundation when
attached to the required utilities. The term "manufactured home" does not include the term
"recreational vehicle".
RECREATIONAL VEHICLE: A vehicle that is built on a single chassis, is four hundred (400)
square feet or less when measured at the largest projection, is designed to be self-propelled or
permanently towable by a light duty truck, and is designed primarily not for use as a permanent
dwelling but as temporary living quarters for recreational, camping, travel, or seasonal use. For
the purposes of this section, the term recreational vehicle shall be synonymous with the term
travel trailer/travel vehicle.
SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE: Damage of any origin sustained by a structure where the cost of
restoring the structure to its before damaged condition would equal or exceed fifty percent (50%)
of the market value of the structure before the damage occurred.
SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT: Within any consecutive three hundred sixty five (365) day
period, any reconstruction, rehabilitation (including normal maintenance and repair), repair after
damage, addition, or other improvement of a structure, the cost of which equals or exceeds fifty
percent (50%) of the market value of the structure before the "start of construction" of the
improvement. This term includes structures that have incurred "substantial damage", regardless
of the actual repair work performed. The term does not, however, include either:
1. Any project for improvement of a structure to correct existing violations of state or local
health, sanitary, or safety code specifications which have been identified by the local code
enforcement official and which are the minimum necessary to assure safe living conditions.
2. Any alteration of a "historic structure", provided that the alteration will not preclude the
structure's continued designation as a "historic structure". For the purpose of this section,
"historic structure" shall be as defined in 44 code of federal regulations, part 59.1.
D. General Provisions:
1. Establishment Of Zoning District: The floodplain areas within the jurisdiction of this title shall
include the zone AE areas shown on the flood insurance rate map panels adopted in this
subsection D1. The boundaries of this district shall be shown on the official zoning map. The
official zoning map together with all materials attached thereto is hereby adopted by reference
and declared to be a part of this title. The attached materials shall include the flood insurance
study for Dakota County, Minnesota and incorporated areas, flood insurance rate map index
number 27037 C IND 4A and flood insurance rate map panels therein numbered 27037 C
0119E, 27037 C 0138E, 27037 C 0208E, 27037 C 0209E, 27037 C 0228E, 27037 C 0229E,
27037 C 0233E and 27037 C 0253E all the documents being dated December 2, 2011, and
prepared by the federal emergency management agency. The floodway and the flood fringe
areas delineated on the flood insurance rate map panels comprise the area designated as the
floodplain zoning district on the official zoning map. A copy of the official zoning map and all
other maps referenced herein shall be on file in the office of the city clerk.
2. Rules For Interpretation Of Floodplain District Boundary: The boundary of the floodplain district
established by this section shall be determined by scaling distances on the official zoning map.
Where interpretation is needed as to the exact location of the boundary of the district as shown
on the official zoning map or there is a conflict between a mapped boundary and actual field
conditions, the board of appeals and adjustment shall make the necessary interpretation. All
decisions will be based on the ground elevations that existed on the site at the time the
community adopted its initial floodplain ordinance or the date of the first national flood insurance
program map that placed the site in the floodplain if earlier, elevations on the regional (100-year)
flood profile and other available technical data. Persons contesting the location of the district
boundary shall be given a reasonable opportunity to present their case to the board of appeals
and adjustments and to submit technical evidence.
3. Compliance: No new structure or land shall hereafter be used and no structure shall be
constructed, located, extended, converted, or structurally altered without full compliance with the
terms of this section and other applicable regulations that apply to uses within the jurisdiction of
this title. Within the floodplain district, all uses not listed as permitted uses or conditional uses
are prohibited. In addition, a caution is provided here that:
a. Modifications, additions, structural alterations or repair after damage to existing
nonconforming structures and nonconforming uses of structures or land are regulated by the
general provisions of this section and specifically subsection D8 of this section; and
b. As built elevations for elevated or floodproofed structures must be certified by ground surveys
and floodproofing techniques must be designed and certified by a registered professional
engineer or architect as specified in the general provisions of this section and specifically as
stated in section 11-10-9 of this title.
4. Warning And Disclaimer Of Liability: This section does not imply that areas outside the
floodplain district or land uses permitted within such districts will be free from flooding or flood
damages. This section shall not create liability on the part of the city or any officer or employees
for any flood damages that result from reliance on this section or any administrative decision
lawfully made thereunder.
5. Severability: As with any provision herein, this section is subject to the severability clause in
section 1-2-4 of this code.
6. Subdivision: No land may be subdivided that is unsuitable for the reasons of flooding,
inadequate drainage, water supply or sewage treatment facilities. All lots within the floodplain
district may be able to contain a building site outside of the floodplain district at or above the
regulatory flood protection elevation. All subdivisions must have water and sewage treatment
facilities that comply with the provisions of this section and have road access both to the
subdivision and to the individual building sites no lower than two feet (2') below the regulatory
flood protection elevation. For all subdivisions in the floodplain, the floodway and flood fringe
district boundaries, the regulatory flood protection elevation and the required elevation of all
access roads shall be clearly labeled on all required subdivision drawings and platting
documents.
7. Annexation: The flood insurance rate map panels adopted by reference in this section may
include floodplain areas that lie outside of the corporate boundaries of Rosemount at the time of
adoption of this section. If any of these floodplain areas are annexed into Rosemount after the
date of this section, the newly annexed floodplain lands shall be subject to the provisions of this
section immediately upon the date of annexation into Rosemount.
8. Nonconforming Uses: No such use shall be expanded, changed, enlarged, or altered in a way
that increases its nonconformity.
a. Any structural alteration to a nonconforming structure or nonconforming use that would result
in increasing the flood damage potential of that structure or use shall be protected to the
regulatory flood protection elevation in accordance with any of the elevation on fill or
floodproofing techniques (i.e., FP-1 through FP-4 floodproofing classifications) allowable in the
state building code, except as further restricted in subsection D8c of this section.
b. If any nonconforming use or structure is substantially damaged, as defined in subsection C of
this section, it may not be reconstructed except in conformity with the provisions of this title.
The applicable provisions for establishing new uses or new structures in this section will apply.
c. If a "substantial improvement" occurs, as defined in subsection C of this section, from any
combination of a rehabilitation, reconstruction, alteration, or other improvement to the inside
dimensions of an existing nonconforming building, then the existing nonconforming building
must meet the requirements of this section for new structures.
E. FP Floodplain District Regulations:
1. Uses Permitted By Right: The following uses are permitted within the floodplain district. These
uses shall not obstruct flood flows or increase flood elevations. In addition, these uses shall not
involve structures, fill, obstructions, excavations or storage of materials or equipment.
Agricultural uses such as general farming, pasture grazing, outdoor plant nurseries, horticulture,
viticulture, truck farming, forestry, sod farming, and wild crop harvesting.
Industrial-commercial loading and parking areas.
Private and public recreational uses such as golf courses, tennis courts, driving ranges, archery
ranges, picnic grounds, boat launching ramps, swimming areas, parks, wildlife and nature
preserves, game farms, fish hatcheries, shooting ranges, hunting and fishing areas, and single
or multiple purpose recreational trails. Manufactured homes and recreational vehicles are
prohibited.
Residential uses such as lawns, gardens, parking areas, and play areas.
2. Uses Permitted By Conditional Use Permit: The following uses shall be permitted upon issuance
of a conditional use permit subject to the procedures and standards set forth in section 11-10-9
of this title. These uses shall not be permitted if they will cause any increase in the stage of the
regional flood or increase the potential for flood damage in the reach or reaches affected.
Extraction and storage of sand, gravel, and other materials.
Marinas, boat rentals, docks, piers, wharves, and water control structures.
Placement of fill.
Railroads, streets, bridges, utility transmission lines, and pipelines.
Storage yards for equipment, machinery, or materials.
Structures accessory to the uses listed in subsection E1 of this section and this subsection E2.
3. Additional Standards For Floodplain Conditional Uses:
a. Standards For Fill:
(1) Fill, dredge spoil and all other similar materials deposited or stored in the floodplain shall
be protected from erosion by vegetative cover, mulching, riprap or other acceptable method.
(2) Dredge spoil sites and sand and gravel operations are not allowed unless a long term site
development plan is submitted that includes an erosion/sedimentation prevention element to
the plan.
(3) As an alternative, and consistent with subsection E3a(2) of this section, dredge spoil
disposal and sand and gravel operations may allow temporary, on site storage of fill or other
materials which would have caused an increase to the stage of the 100-year or regional
flood but only after the planning commission has received an appropriate plan that assures
the removal of the materials from the floodway based upon the flood warning time available.
b. Standards For Accessory Structures:
(1) Structures shall not be designed for human habitation.
(2) Structures, if permitted, shall be constructed and placed on the building site so as to offer
the minimum obstruction to the flow of floodwaters:
(A) Whenever possible, structures shall be constructed with the longitudinal axis parallel to
the direction of flood flow, and
(B) So far as practicable, structures shall be placed approximately on the same flood flow
lines as those of adjoining structures.
(C) Accessory structures shall be elevated on fill or structurally dry floodproofed in
accordance with the FP-1 or FP-2 floodproofing classifications in the state building code.
As an alternative, an accessory structure may be floodproofed to the FP-3 or FP-4
floodproofing classification in the state building code provided the accessory structure
constitutes a minimal investment, does not exceed five hundred (500) square feet in size,
and for a detached garage, the detached garage must be used solely for parking of
vehicles and limited storage. All floodproofed accessory structures must meet the
following additional standards, as appropriate:
(i) The structure must be adequately anchored to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral
movement of the structure and shall be designed to equalize hydrostatic flood forces on
exterior walls;
(ii) Any mechanical and utility equipment in a structure must be elevated to or above the
regulatory flood protection elevation or properly floodproofed; and
(iii) To allow for the equalization of hydrostatic pressure, there must be a minimum of two
(2) "automatic" openings in the outside walls of the structure having a total net area of
not less than one square inch for every square foot of enclosed area subject to
flooding. There must be openings on at least two (2) sides of the structure and the
bottom of all openings must be no higher than one foot (1') above the lowest adjacent
grade to the structure. Using human intervention to open a garage door prior to flooding
will not satisfy the requirement for automatic openings.
c. Standards For Storage Of Materials And Equipment:
(1) The storage or processing of materials that are, in time of flooding, flammable, explosive,
or potentially injurious to human, animal, or plant life is prohibited.
(2) Storage of other materials or equipment may be allowed if readily removable from the area
within the time available after a flood warning and in accordance with a plan approved by
the planning commission.
(3) No garbage and waste disposal sites shall be issued for floodway areas and there shall be
no further encroachment upon the floodway at existing sites.
d. Standards For Flood Control:
(1) Structural works for flood control that will change the course, current or cross section of
protected wetlands or public waters shall be subject to the provisions of Minnesota statutes,
chapter 103G. Community wide structural works for flood control intended to remove areas
from the regulatory floodplain are not allowed in the floodway.
(2) A levee, dike or floodwall constructed in the floodway shall not cause an increase to the
100-year or regional flood and the technical analysis must assume equal conveyance or
storage loss on both sides of a stream.
e. Standards For Public Utilities, Railroads, Roads And Bridges:
(1) Public Utilities: All public utilities and facilities such as gas, electrical, sewer, and water
supply systems to be located in the floodplain shall be floodproofed in accordance with the
state building code or elevated to above the regulatory flood protection elevation.
(2) Public Transportation Facilities: Railroad tracks, roads, and bridges to be located within the
floodplain shall comply with this title. Elevation to the regulatory flood protection elevation
shall be provided where failure or interruption of these transportation facilities would result in
danger to the public health or safety or where such facilities are essential to the orderly
functioning of the area. Minor or auxiliary roads or railroads may be constructed at a lower
elevation where failure or interruption of transportation services would not endanger the
public health or safety.
(3) On Site Sewage Treatment And Water Supply Systems: Where public utilities are not
provided: a) on site water supply systems must be designed to minimize or eliminate
infiltration of floodwaters into the systems; and b) new or replacement on site sewage
treatment systems must be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of floodwaters into
the systems and discharges from the systems into floodwaters and they shall not be subject
to impairment or contamination during times of flooding. Any sewage treatment system
designed in accordance with the state's current statewide standards for on site sewage
treatment systems shall be determined to be in compliance with this section.
F. Administration And Enforcement:
1. Permit Required: All permits issued by the city in conformity with the provisions of this title shall
be secured prior to the erection, addition, modification, rehabilitation (including normal
maintenance and repair), or alteration of any building, structure, or portion thereof; prior to the
use or change of use of a building, structure, or land; prior to the construction of a dam, fence, or
on site septic system; prior to the change or extension of a nonconforming use; prior to the
repair of a structure that has been damaged by flood, fire, tornado, or any other source; and
prior to the placement of fill, excavation of materials, or the storage of materials or equipment
within the floodplain.
2. Application For Permit: Application for a permit shall be made in duplicate to the planning
department and shall include the following where applicable: a) plans in duplicate drawn to
scale, showing the nature, location, dimensions, and elevations of the lot; b) existing or
proposed structures, fill, or storage of materials; and c) the location of the foregoing in relation to
the stream channel.
3. State And Federal Permits: Prior to granting a local permit or processing an application for a
conditional use permit or variance, the planning department shall determine that the applicant
has obtained all necessary state and federal permits.
4. Certificate Of Zoning Compliance For A New, Altered, Or Nonconforming Use: It shall be
unlawful to use, occupy, or permit the use or occupancy of any building or premises or part
thereof hereafter created, erected, changed, converted, altered, or enlarged in its use or
structure until a certificate of zoning compliance shall have been issued by the planning
department stating that the use of the building or land conforms to the requirements of this title.
5. Construction And Use To Be Provided On Applications, Plans, Permits, Variances, And
Certificates Of Zoning Compliance: Permits, conditional use permits, or certificates of zoning
compliance issued on the basis of approved plans and applications authorize only the use,
arrangement, and construction set forth in such approved plans and applications, and no other
use, arrangement, or construction. Any use, arrangement, or construction at variance with that
authorized shall be deemed a violation of this title, and punishable as provided by section 11-10-
2 of this title.
6. Certification: The applicant shall be required to submit certification by a licensed professional
engineer, registered architect, or registered land surveyor that the finished fill and building
elevations were accomplished in compliance with the provisions of this title. Floodproofing
measures shall be certified by a registered professional engineer or registered architect.
7. Record Of First Floor Elevation: The planning department shall maintain a record of the
elevation of the lowest floor (including basement) of all new structures and alterations or
additions to existing structures in the floodplain. The planning department shall also maintain a
record of the elevation to which structures and alterations or additions to structures are
floodproofed.
8. Notification Of Watercourse Alternations: The zoning administrator shall notify, in riverine
situations, adjacent communities and the commissioner of the department of natural resources
prior to the community authorizing any alteration or relocation of a watercourse. If the applicant
has applied for a permit to work in the beds of the public waters pursuant to Minnesota statutes,
chapter 103G, this shall suffice as adequate notice to the commissioner of the department of
natural resources. A copy of said notification shall also be submitted to the Chicago regional
office of the federal emergency management agency (FEMA).
9. Notification To FEMA When Physical Changes Increase Or Decrease The 100-Year Flood
Elevation: As soon as is practicable, but no later than six (6) months after the date such
supporting information becomes available, the zoning administrator shall notify the Chicago
regional office of FEMA of the changes by submitting a copy of said technical or scientific data.
10. Penalties For Violations: As with any provision of this section, this section is subject to the
general penalties outlined in title 1, chapter 4 of this code.
G. Variances: The variance provisions in section 11-12-2 of this title shall apply to this section, in
addition to the following findings:
1. No variance shall provide for a lesser degree of flood protection than the regulatory flood
protection for the particular area or permit standards lower than those required by state law. The
following additional variance criteria of the federal emergency management agency must be
satisfied:
a. Variances may not be issued within any designated regulatory floodway if any increase in
flood levels during the base flood discharge would result.
b. Variances may only be issued by a community upon:
(1) A showing of good and sufficient cause.
(2) A determination that failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional hardship to the
applicant.
(3) A determination that the granting of a variance will not result in increased flood heights,
additional threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, create nuisances, cause
fraud on or victimization of the public, or conflict with existing local laws or ordinances.
c. Variances may only be issued upon a determination that the variance is the minimum
necessary, considering the flood hazard, to afford relief.
2. Notice of any application for a variance shall be submitted to the commissioner of natural
resources at least ten (10) days prior to the date of hearing on the variance. Such notice shall
specify the time, place and subject matter of the hearing and shall be accompanied by such
supporting information as is necessary to indicate the nature and effect of the proposed use. A
copy of all decisions granting a variance under this section shall be forwarded to the
commissioner of natural resources within ten (10) days of such action.
H. Flood Insurance Notice And Recordkeeping: The Planning Department shall notify the applicant for
a variance that:
1. The issuance of a variance to construct a structure below the base flood level will result in
increased premium rates for flood insurance up to amounts as high as twenty five dollars
($25.00) for one hundred dollars ($100.00) of insurance coverage; and
2. Such construction below the 100-year or regional flood level increases risks to life and property.
Such notification shall be maintained with a record of all variance actions. A community shall
maintain a record of all variance actions, including justification for their issuance, and report such
variances issued in its annual or biennial report submitted to the Administrator of the National
Flood Insurance Program.
I. Amendments To This Section: The floodplain designation on zoning maps shall not be removed from
floodplain areas unless it can be shown that the designation is in error or that the areas are filled to
an elevation at or above the flood protection elevation and are contiguous to other lands lying
outside the floodplain district. Special exceptions to this rule may be permitted by the
Commissioner of Natural Resources if the Commissioner determines that, through other
measures, lands are protected adequately for the intended uses.
All amendments must be submitted to and approved by the Commissioner of Natural Resources
prior to adoption. Changes in the official zoning map must meet the Federal Emergency
Management Agency's (FEMA) technical conditions and criteria and must receive prior FEMA
approval before adoption. The Commissioner of Natural Resources must be given ten (10) days'
written notice of all hearings to consider an amendment to this section, and said notice shall
include a draft of the ordinance amendment or technical study under consideration.
All requests to change a special flood hazard area designation shall meet the criteria established
by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. (Ord. B-217, 11-15-2011)
11-7-2: SHORELAND OVERLAY REGULATIONS:

Whenever the underlying zoning is more restrictive, the requirements of the zoning district shall apply.
D. Shoreland Alterations:
1. Natural Vegetation: The removal of natural vegetation shall be restricted to prevent erosion into
public waters, to consume nutrients in the soil and to preserve shoreland aesthetics. Removal of
natural vegetation in the shoreland overlay district shall be in accordance with the following
criteria:
a. Selective removal of natural vegetation shall be allowed, provided that sufficient vegetative
cover remains to screen cars and structures when viewed from the water.
b. Clear cutting of natural vegetation shall be prohibited except as necessary for placing public
roads, utilities, structures and parking areas.
c. Natural vegetation shall be restored insofar as is feasible after any construction project is
completed.
2. Grading And Filling: Grading and filling in shoreland areas or any alterations of the natural
topography where the slope of the land is toward a public water or watercourse leading to public
water must be authorized by the city in accordance with the following criteria:
a. The smallest amount of bare ground is exposed for as short a time as feasible.
b. Temporary ground cover, such as mulch, is used and permanent ground cover, such as sod,
is planted.
c. Methods to prevent erosion and trap sediment are employed.
d. Fill is stabilized to accepted engineering standards.
3. Alteration Of Beds Of Public Waters:
a. Excavation on shorelands where the intended purpose is connection to a public water shall
require approval from the city before construction is begun. Such approval may be obtained
only after the commissioner has issued a permit for work in the bed of a public water.
E. Planned Unit Development: To encourage more creative design and greater environmental
sensitivity in the development of land, planned unit development (PUD) may be utilized in the
shoreland overlay district. PUD within the shoreland overlay district is subject to both the
requirements of these regulations and additional standards established by the state of Minnesota,
department of natural resources (DNR). Where requirements differ DNR standards shall take
precedence.
F. Administration And Enforcement:
1. Permits Required: Before any construction, subdivision of land, installation of sewer and water
facilities, grading and filling or removal of vegetation within any shoreland area is commenced, a
permit shall be issued by the city.
2. Applications: Application shall be made by the owner on forms provided by the city. Said
application shall be accompanied by plans drawn to scale showing the nature, location,
dimensions and elevations of the lot and all proposed structures and such other information as
shall be required by the director of community development.
3. Variances: All requests for variances shall be referred to the board of appeals and adjustments.
4. Lots Of Record: Lots of record which do not meet the requirements of this section shall not be
required to comply herewith.

variances or conditional uses with regard to the shoreland shall be received by the
commissioner within ten (10) days of final action. (Ord. B, 9-19-1989)
11-10-9: FLOODPLAIN DISTRICT CONDITIONAL USES:
A. Application: The commission shall hear and decide applications for conditional uses permissible
under section 11-4-19, "FP Floodplain District", of this title. Applications shall be submitted to the
planning department and forwarded to the commission for consideration. The applicant shall
furnish the following information as deemed necessary by the community development department
for determining the suitability of the particular site for the proposed use:
1. Plans in triplicate drawn to scale prepared by a registered engineer showing the nature, location,
dimensions, and elevation of the lot, existing or proposed structures, fill, storage of materials,
floodproofing measures, and the relationship of the above to the location of the stream channel
and meeting all other requirements of section 11-10-3, site plan contents, of this chapter.
2. Specifications for building construction and materials, floodproofing, filling, dredging, grading,
channel improvement, storage of materials, water supply, and sanitary facilities.
The city engineer or designee shall evaluate the proposed project in relation to flood heights and
velocities, the seriousness of flood damage to the use, the adequacy of the plans for protection,
and other technical matters. Based upon the technical evaluation, the commission shall
determine the specified flood hazard at the site and evaluate the suitability of the proposed use
in relation to the flood hazard.
B. Factors And Conditions: In reviewing conditional use applications, the commission shall consider all
relevant factors specified in other sections of this title and:
1. The danger to life and property due to increased flood heights or velocities caused by
encroachments.
2. The danger that materials may be swept onto other lands or downstream to the injury of others
or they may block bridges, culverts, or other hydraulic structures.
