Zoning&Development Items:
1. No new applications have been received;
2. The Valley Access Channel did prepare a very nice idea of the House Bonding Tour...it can be viewed at this link
noted as:.to,/twww.youtube.com/watch?v--G68qliqY2to&teature=voutu.be —we have a DVD here at City Hail.
3. BCWD has provided a document that outlines various rule updates they hope to consider that moves them away from
the"pre-settlement"conditions.City staff as well as working with Councilmembers Johnson and Runk have reviewed
these and we are cautiously optimistic that these will be effective and generally implementing MIDS. Browns Creek will
be holding a more general community meeting on December 2nd to take more input(much like the meeting held last
December at Water Street Inn). This will be held at 2 PM at the Family Means Building.Ultimately,we surmise that
the BCWD will seek to have the City continue to implement its own MIDS rules,which they will apparently acquiesce
to and not seek their own permitting. That will be forthcoming,however the City should NOT issue permits for,nor
implement or enforce BCWD rules for the BCWD. The BCWD will have to simply accept the City MIDS standards and
other City rules that are in place,such as those in the MSCWMO.
Other items

2.0 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
2.1 purposes and Policy. It is the policy of the District to:
2.1.1 Preserve natural infiltration, groundwater recharge and subsurface flows
that support groundwater dependent resources including lakes, streams,
wetlands,plant communities and drinking water supplies;
2.1.2 Work toward restoration of natural hydrology by limiting peak off-site
stormwater flow to pre-settlement rates;
2.1.3 Limit off-site stormwater flow volume to prevent down-gradient flooding
and thermal impacts to Brown's Creek and its tributaries;
2.1.4 Require management of stormwater flow to limit sediments, phosphorus
and other pollutants conveyed to ground and surface waters and promote water
quality,and
2.1.5 Minimize connectivity of impervious surfaces to stormwater conveyance
systems and preserve the natural hydrology of landlocked basins to minimize
basin and downgradient flood risk.
2.2 Applicability. Subject to an exception in section 2.8, the requirements of this section
apply to:
(a)Subdivision of four or more dots;
(b) Development or redevelopment creating impervious surface that aggregated
with existing impervious surface on the site,equals 10,000 square feet or more or
creating impervious surface that aggregated with existing impervious surface on
the site, equals 5,000 square feet or more on a site within the surface water
contributing area of a groundwater-dependent natural resource. For
redevelopment:
(i) If the proposed activity will disturb more than 50 percent of existing
impervious surface, the criteria of subsection 2.4.1 will apply to all
impervious surface and disturbed areas on the project site.
(ii) If the proposed activity will disturb less than 50 percent of existing
impervious surface, the criteria will apply only to reconstructed and net
additional impervious surface,and all disturbed areas on the project site.
(c) Linear projects that create one or more acres of new and/or reconstructed
impervious surfaces or that create 5,000 square feet or more of new and/or
reconstructed impervious surface within the surface water contributing area of a
groundwater-dependent natural resource. The larger of the following is required:
(i) 100 percent of the required volume per 2.4.1b from the net additional
impervious surface;or

Effiective
7 of 46
(ii) 50 percent of the required volume per 2.4.1b from all new and
reconstructed impervious surfaces.
l° here 4Kz applicant can demonstrate that greater than 50
percent of the soil area within the linear project site is categorized as Hydrologic
Soil Group D,2.2(c)i will apply.
2.3 Regulation.Before any activity subject to this rule commences,a stormwater
management pian must be submitted to the District. The plan must conform to the
requirements of this rule,and a permit must be secured from the District.
2.4 Standards.
2.4.1A Management Standards. Excgpt within the Diversion Structure
Subwatershed Aan applicant for a stormwater management perwdt must
demonstrate to the District that the proposed land-altering activity will not:
(a)Increase peak stormwater flow from the site, as compared with the pre-
settlement condition, for a 24-hour precipitation event with a return
frequency of two, 10 or 100 years for all points where discharges leave a
site.
(b) Increase stormwater flow volume from all points where discharge
Heaves the site, as compared with the pre-settlement condition, for a 24-
hour precipitation event with a return frequency of two years, or five
years within a landlocked basin or a subwatershed draining to a
landlocked basin.
(c) At the downgradient property boundary or to an onsite receiving
waterbody or wetland, increase annual pbosphoru.s loading as compared
with the pre-development condition.
(d) Increase the bounce in water level or duration of inundation, for a 24-
hour precipitation event with a return frequency of two, 10 or:100 years in
the subwatershed in which the site is located,for any downstream lake or
wetland beyond the limit specified in Appendix 2.1.
2.4.1B Management Standards - Diversion Structure Subwatershed. Within the
Diversion Structure Subwatershed shown in AR12endix 2.4 which is incorporated
into this rule as a term hereof, an gR12hcant must submit a stormwater-
management j2lan providin
must deffienstFate te the Pistr-iet that the 11—and altA ring aetWity will Pat,
(a) e—No increase in the existin eak stormwater flow rates from
the site; for a 24-hour
precipitation event with a return frequency of two, 10 or 100 years for all
points where discharges leave a site.

(b) Retention onsite of 1.1 inches of
stormwater volume from the regglated impervious surface except where
section 2.4.2 - Flexible Treatment Options a Iles.

(d jc No Increase in the bounce in water level or duration of inundation,
for a 24-hoar precipitation event with a return frequency of two, 10 or 100
years in the subwatershed in which the site is located,for any downstream
lake or wetland beyond the limits specified in Appendix 2.1.
2.4.2 Flexible Treatment QPtions. Where BCWD concurs that an applicant has
demonstrated that retention of 1.1 inches of storinwater volume onsite is not
reasonably feasible because of soil conditions and/or is reasonably likely to
cause or exacerbate migration of underground contaminants or create risk to
drinking water, the al2oicant must rovide management of volume and water
ualifrom the regulated im ervious .surface in accordance with the following
priori sequence:
{a) Retention onsite of 0.55 inches of runoff_and removal of 75 percent of
the annual total.phosphorus loading
Retention onsite of stormwater volume to the mamimum extent
practicable and removal of 60 percent of the annual total phosphorus
loadin .
Concurrence b B+ WQ in a determination that it is not reasonably feasible to
meet the stormwater .retention standard necessarily involves a demonstration
that the applicant has assessed relocation of-Project dements to address vajrYm: g
soil conditions.
2.4.23 Obligation to Ensure Performance. A permit granted by the District on a
finding that stormwater management facilities, as they are to be constructed and
maintained under the permit, will meet applicable performance standards under
Rule 2.0, does not require additional steps if the permit is complied with but
standards are not met. Notwithstanding, as a specific condition to a permit, the
District may impose monitoring, performance evaluation, additional compliance
measures or other requirements for the purpose of meeting performance
standards.
2.5 Management.
Brown's Creek Watershed District Rules 4
Adopted
Effective
9 of 46
i
2.5.1 Calculating Off Site Stormwater Flow. TO calculate runoff under pre-
settlement condition, pre-development condition or the stormwater management
scenario proposed for approval,Soil Conservation Service TR-20 method is to be
used.Pre-settlement CN-values will be as follows:
Hydrologic Soil Group Curve Number
A 30
B 57
C 70
D 77
All assumptions for CN values and impervious surface area estimates must be
clearly stated. A distributed CN-value approach must be used to calculate runoff
flows.
An area of the site to be disturbed during construction will be assigned a CN-
value corresponding to a soil permeability class one step below that of the
undisturbed soil unless the permit specifies a District-approved method to
restore soil structure.
2.5.2 Infiltration Pretreatment. Surface flows to infiltration facilities must be
pretreated for long-term removal of at least 50 percent of sediment loads. In the
event an infiltration facility is constructed in the vicinity downstream of a
potential Hot Spot,a skimmer must be installed to facilitate cleanup.
2.5.3 Basin in Contributing Area to Groundwater-Dependent Natural Resource.
A stormwater basin within the surface contributing area to a groundwater-
dependent natural resource must contain and infiltrate the volume generated by
a two-year, 24-hour storm event, if feasible. The basin bottom must be at least
three feet above the seasonally high water table, bedrock or other impeding
layer. If this infiltration standard is determined infeasible,basin outflow must be
non-erosive and routed through a subsurface system, flow spreader or other
device that discharges water through or across the ground to lower discharge
temperature to that of the ambient soil.
2.5.4 Conformance to Floodplain and Drainage Alteration Requirements. Land-
altering activities subject to this rule must comply with lowest-floor elevation
requirements in subsection 7.3.2 of these rules.
2.6 Maintenance. All stormwater management structures and facilities must be
designed for maintenance access and properly maintained in perpetuity to assure that
they continue to function as designed. Permit applicants must provide a maintenance,
inspection and, if required, monitoring plan that identifies and protects the design,
capacity and functionality of onsite and offsite stormwater management facilities;
Brown's Creek Watershed District Rules 5
Adopted

provides specifications, methods and a schedule for the inspection and maintenance in
perpetuity of the facility, with documentation retained onsite and available to the
District on reasonable notice; and contains at a minimum the requirements in the
District's standard maintenance declaration. The maintenance plan will be recorded on
the deed in a form acceptable to the District. A public applicant may comply with this
requirement by entering an agreement with the District in lieu of a recorded document.

home site consistent with a subdivision, development or redevelopment plan
and stormwater management implemented in accordance with a District permit
issued after February 1,2018.
2.8.2 Land-disturbing activities that do not involve creation of new impervious
surface or reconstruction of existing impervious surface.
2.9 Regional Treatment. An applicant may comply with the criteria in subsection 2.4.7
(a), (b) and (c)by providing equal or greater peak rate control,volume control and
phosphorus control through a regional or subwatershed plan approved by the Distirict.

and treatment area to which the plan pertains. District approval of a regional or
subwatershed plan will be based on a determination that
(a) the use of a regional facility in place of onsite stormwater management
will not result in adverse impacts to local groundwater or natural resources
located upstream of the regional facility,including,but not limited to,
reduced water quality,altered wetland hydrology,changes to stream
velocities or base flow, erosion,or reduced groundwater recharge; and
(b) the plan incorporates onsite BMPs to mitigate impacts and provide local
benefits not provided by the regional facility.
The applicant,before commencing any land-altering activity,must demonstrate that
downgradient stormwater conveyance structures and facilities will be adequate to
handle proposed increased peak flow or flow volume from the site,it holds the legal
rights necessary to discharge to the stormwater facility or facilities in the regional plan,
and that the facility or facilities are subject to a maintenance document satisfying the
requirements of paragraph 2.6.
2.10 Groundwater-Dependent Natural Resource Management Plans.If the District has
prepared a management plan for a groundwater-dependent natural resource and
incorporated management standards in that plan into its rules through a formal
rulemaking process, any land-altering activity within the surface contributing area or
overlying the groundwater recharge area of that resource must conform to applicable
standards in the plan.

Dear Neighbors,
During the legislative interim, members of the House Capital Investment Committee
have been traveling across the state to visit sites and projects for possible inclusion in
the 2020 Bonding Bill. This week, I was honored to welcome my colleagues as the
committee came to our neck of the woods to see firsthand how incredibly important the
proposed infrastructure projects along Highway 36 would be for the region and those
that travel through.
Our first stop covered the proposed Manning Avenue Interchange at Highway 36. Thank
you to the sheriff's office, fire department, Washington County, Lakeview Hospital, and
Mayor Kozlowski for their presentations on the importance of this interchange due to the
increased public safety and economic growth it would bring to our community. Another
shout out to Chris Aamodt for hosting the committee and advocates during
presentations. This project is of the highest priority in my work at the Legislature, and I'm
eager to see it through.

Our next and final stop covered the funding needs for the 60th street realignment at
Norell Avenue and Highway 36. This is a frustrating intersection that I know many of us
try to avoid. Representatives from Oak Park Heights helped make those frustrations
known, and I look forward to advocating for this and other community-improving projects
in the 2020 Bonding Bili. Stay tuned!
Environment Town Hall
Reminder that I'll be joining Conservation Minnesota for an Environment Town Hall
tomorrow morning, from 10:30-11:30am, at the Stillwater Public Library. Minnesota's
great outdoors is one of our most valuable resources, and I'm committed to protecting
and preserving our lakes, rivers, and forests for future generations. Please join us
tomorrow as we talk about our priorities when it comes to protecting our environment,

and how we can accomplish that together. You can find more information on our

2020 High School Page Program
Modeled after the United States Congress Page Program, the Minnesota House of
Representatives High School Page Program was established in 1975. Today, the
program remains dedicated to providing students with meaningful opportunities, and has
evolved into one of the top page programs in the nation.
The Minnesota House is currently accepting applications for the 2020 Legislative
Session, and I highly encourage all interested high school juniors to apply. You can find
more information on the program and how to apply on the Minnesota House webpage.
The deadline to apply is November 21St.
If you have any questions about our bonding proposals or the legislative process, please
feel free to reach out. Our work here at the Legislature is a collaborative process, and I
appreciate your input! You can reach me at (651) 296,4244 or
. I look forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely,
Representative Shelly Christensen

Four Reasons to Build a Young Municipal Network
