W:\07 Programs\Permitting\2013\13-022 MSU Parking Ramp\13-022 PermitReport5b.doc Page 1 of 4
Standards Proposed discharge rates for the 2-, 10-, and 100-year events shall not exceed
existing rates. Developments and redevelopments must reduce runoff volumes in the amount
equivalent to an inch of runoff from the impervious areas of the site. Stormwater must be pretreated before discharging to infiltration areas to
maintain the long-term viability of the infiltration area. Developments and redevelopments must incorporate effective non-point
source pollution reduction BMPs to achieve 90% total suspended solid removal.
Findings 1. A hydrograph method based on sound hydrologic theory is used to analyze
runoff for the design or analysis of flows and water levels. 2. Runoff rates for the proposed activity do not exceed existing runoff rates for
the 2-, 10-, and 100-year critical storm events but revisions to the model are needed. Stormwater leaving the project area is discharged into a well-defined receiving channel or pipe and routed to a public drainage system.
3. Stormwater runoff volume retention is not achieved onsite in the amount equivalent to the runoff generated from one inch of rainfall over the impervious surfaces of the development.
a. The amount of proposed impervious onsite is 155,640 square feet. b. Volume retention: Volume Retention Required (cu. ft.) Volume Retention Provided (cu. ft.)
11,673 cu. ft. None.
c. Filtration of runoff is proposed due contaminated soils: Volume Retention Required (cu. ft.) Volume Retention Provided (cu. ft.)
15,175 cu. ft. 16,677
d. Banking of excess volume retention is not proposed. e. Filtration volume and facility size has been calculated using the
appropriate hydrological soil group classification and design filtration rate.
f. The filtration area is capable of infiltrating the required volume within 48 hours.
g. Stormwater runoff is pretreated to remove solids before discharging to infiltration areas.
4. Alternative compliance sequencing has not been requested. 5. Best management practices achieve 90% total suspended solids removal from
the runoff generated on an annual basis. 6. A recordable executed maintenance agreement has not been submitted.
RULE D: FLOOD CONTROL
W:\07 Programs\Permitting\2013\13-022 MSU Parking Ramp\13-022 PermitReport5b.doc Page 2 of 4
Standards Compensatory storage shall be provided for fill placed within the 100-year
floodplain. All habitable buildings, roads, and parking structures on or adjacent to a
project site shall comply with District freeboard requirements. Findings 1. There is no floodplain on the property according to FEMA. 2. All habitable buildings, roads, and parking structures on or adjacent to the
project site comply with CRWD freeboard requirements. RULE E: WETLAND MANAGEMENT Standard
Wetlands shall not be drained, filled (wholly or in part), excavated, or have sustaining hydrology impacted such that there will be a decrease in the inherent (existing) functions and values of the wetland.
A minimum buffer of 25 feet of permanent nonimpacted vegetative ground cover abutting and surrounding a wetland is required.
Findings 1. There are no known wetlands located on the property.
RULE F: EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL
Standards A plan shall demonstrate that appropriate erosion and sediment control
measures protect downstream water bodies from the effects of a land-disturbing activity.
Erosion Control Plans must adhere to the MPCA Protecting Water Quality in Urban Areas Manual.
Findings 1. Erosion and sediment control measures are consistent with best management
practices, as demonstrated in the MPCA manual Protecting Water Quality in Urban Areas.
2. Adjacent properties are protected from sediment transport/deposition. 3. Wetlands, waterbodies and water conveyance systems are protected from
erosion/sediment transport/deposition. 4. Project site is greater than 1 acre; an NPDES permit is required.
RULE G: ILLICIT DISCHARGE AND CONNECTION
W:\07 Programs\Permitting\2013\13-022 MSU Parking Ramp\13-022 PermitReport5b.doc Page 3 of 4
Standard Stormwater management and utility plans shall indicate all existing and
proposed connections from developed and undeveloped lands for all water that drains to the District MS4.
Findings 1. New direct connections or replacement of existing connections are not
proposed. 2. Prohibited discharges are not proposed.

RE: Permit Closeouts
Background
Construction activity is complete for permits 07-011 and 07-020.
Issues
07-011 Desoto Skillman: As-built plans were submitted 8/5/2014 and approved. A
Memorandum of Agreement is in place. A closeout inspection was conducted on 8/19/2014. No
problems were found during the inspection.
07-020 Polar Bear Exhibit: As-built plans were submitted on 4/4/2014 and approved. A
Memorandum of Agreement is in place. A closeout inspection was conducted on 7/31/2014.
Some trash and small amounts of sediment were found in the basin. A notice was submitted to
the permittee, but staff recommends that permit gets closed.
Action Requested
Approve Certificates of Completion for permits 07-011 and 07-020.
