The City of Mendota Heights’ Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) is a local management plan that meets the requirements of:
- Minnesota Statutes 103B.235
- Minnesota Rules 8410
- Lower Mississippi River Watershed Management Organization Third Generation Watershed Management Plan (dated August 2011, as amended August 2015)
- Lower Minnesota River Watershed District’s Third Generation Watershed Management Plan (dated November 2011, as amended June 2015).
The purpose of the SWMP is to serve as a guide in conserving, protecting, and managing the City’s surface water resources.
The City submits its SWMP to the Metropolitan Council, the Lower Mississippi River Watershed Management Organization, and the Lower Minnesota River Watershed District for their review. The watershed organizations have 60 days for their review after written receipt of the City SWMP. Metropolitan Council provides comments within 45 days.
