REGULATORY PROGRAM. VLAWMO does not operate a regulatory program for development review. All member cities or townships are MS4s with approved permits to discharge stormwater, and they, along with Xxxxxx County, Anoka County and the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MNDOT) as MS4s will be responsible for ensuring that development, redevelopment and construction meets NPDES requirements. Each member city or township is required to operate a permitting program and have local controls consistent with VLAWMO water management policy. VLAWMO is the LGU administering the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) and has been since 1991 except in MnDOT right of way area. VLAWMO established performance and control standards for managing stormwater runoff, and management classifications, standards and procedures governing the use of wetlands as set out in the VLAWMO water management policy. The current VLAWMO water management policy was written in April 2009. The current policy is in the process of being updated to follow the most recent standard changes within the WCA, Minimum Impact Design Standards (MIDS), Atlas 14, and Minnesota Stormwater Manual, along with state groundwater and buffer rules. The updated VLAWMO water management policy will be revised as standards in these manuals are amended. The updated policy will be on the VLAWMO website and distributed directly to the appropriate partners. Xxxxxx County transferred Drainage Authority for Ditches 13 and 14 to VLAWMO in 1986. These Drainage Systems are otherwise known as Xxxxxxx Creek and the Xxxxxx or Xxxxxxxx storm sewer system (#07010206-801 & #07010206-637). Ditch Drainage System management activities are conducted under the authorities of chapters 103B and 103E, including maintaining conveyance, and are not specifically enumerated in this Plan VLAWMO 2017-2026 Comprehensive Water Plan Plan Adopted: 10/26/2016 42 except as they relate to protecting and improving downstream water resources. VLAWMO plans to continue its Drainage Authority role and will actively look for opportunities to use its unique abilities and authorities under 103B and 103E to implement water quality improvement projects concurrently with ditch maintenance and repair projects. VLAWMO acknowledges its role as a ditch authority in implementing the State buffer law and will pursue buffers consistent with requirements.
