Each plan must consider the feasibility of implementing structural solutions for attaining the goals defined under part 8410.0080 that cannot be resolved by nonstructural, preventative actions. Each plan must include a table for a capital improvement program that identifies structural and nonstructural alternatives that would lessen capital expenditures and sets forth, by year, details of each contemplated capital improvement that includes the need, schedule, estimated cost, and funding source. The information may be combined with subpart 1, item A. In assigning priorities, consideration must be given to federal, state, regional, local, and private partners and regional and state plans.
The plan must define who is responsible for inspection, operation, and maintenance of storm water infrastructure, public works, facilities, and natural and artificial watercourses and specify any new programs or revisions to existing programs needed to accomplish the goals defined under part 8410.0080.
Each plan must provide for an information and education program in consideration of the goals defined under part 8410.0080. The program must, at a minimum, include the purpose, targeted audiences, and actions. An annual communication must be distributed to residents of the organization in compliance with Minnesota Statutes, section 103B.227, subdivision 4.
Each plan must address whether established water quality, water quantity, and other monitoring programs implemented by the organization and others are capable of producing an accurate evaluation of the progress being made toward the goals defined under part 8410.0080. The programs shall, at a minimum, include the location of sampling, the frequency of sampling, the proposed parameters to be measured, and the requirement of periodic analysis of the data. Each organization must annually submit the collected data that has been quality-controlled and quality-assured to the appropriate state agency .
Controls or performance standards must be described in the plan, although an organization's rules in place at the time of plan approval may be referenced instead. The plan must specifically describe how the organization's controls will be implemented in coordination with local official controls. The plan must clearly distinguish between the responsibilities of the organization and the affected local government units relative to controls established according to this subpart. The enforcement process for violations of controls of the organization must be defined. Controls must take effect within two years of plan adoption by the organization. The plan must include an assessment of existing controls within the organization's jurisdiction and address any deficiencies or redundancies related to attaining the goals defined under part 8410.0080. If a plan notes the existence of certain land uses that could adversely affect the organization's ability to achieve the goals defined under part 8410.0080, the organization must provide written notification to that unit of government specifying the issue. The following items must be considered in developing a regulatory program:
The plan must define, for cost share or grant programs, if any, the general purpose, scope, time period, amount of funds, funding source, general eligibility criteria for disbursing funds, and a clear link to the goals the program addresses.
