Draft 2018 Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan Presentation for Review and
Comment
Information / Background:
Staff is seeking review and comment of the draft 2018 Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan.
A copy of the draft plan is available on the City’s website at www.EdinaMN.gov/WaterResources. A
presentation will describe the background information, key elements, policy gaps, and issues for which staff
are seeking direction.
The Energy and Environment Commission, Planning Commission, neighboring cities, watershed districts, and
the public have been invited to provide comments for consideration through November 27th.
An update to the City’s 10-year local water plan, called the Comprehensive Water Resources Management
Plan, is a required component of the city-wide local comprehensive plan. Adoption of the local water plan is
required within two years of local comprehensive plan adoption which must be completed before
December 31, 2018.
Although the local water plan is mandated by state statute, staff has elected to go beyond the minimum
requirements to draft a plan that creates a space for meaningful change with regard to water resources
management in Edina.
The Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan defines policies, identifies and prioritizes issue
areas, and plans implementation activities around the services of flood protection, stormwater runoff
management, and clean surface water for the next ten years.
A copy of the draft Executive Summary is attached.
City of Edina
2017 Comprehensive Water Resource Management Plan
1-1
1.0 Executive Summary
This plan provides the City of Edina with a Comprehensive Water Resource Management Plan (CWRMP).
The plan was developed to address current and future stormwater issues, especially those related to
future development and redevelopment. The plan addresses stormwater runoff management and flood
control, water quality management, and wetlands protection through establishment of stormwater
planning policies and recommendations.
The City of Edina developed its first CWRMP in 2003. The original CWRMP is referenced throughout this
document as the 2003 CWRMP. The CWRMP was then updated in 2011.
This CWRMP is composed of Section 1.0: Executive Summary and 16 additional sections, which are
described as follows:
Section 2.0: Introduction and Physical Setting—presents background information regarding
the City, general watershed information, and plan purposes.
Section 3.0: Policies for Water Resources Management presents background information,
goals, policies and design standards covering runoff management and flood control, water quality
management, erosion and sediment control, wetlands, floodplain management, recreation,
habitat and shoreland management, groundwater, the City’s education goals, and National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) considerations.
Section 4.0: Methodology for Modeling—describes the data, methods and assumptions used
for the stormwater analyses.
Section 5.0 through Section 14.0: (Major Drainage Area Descriptions and
Recommendations)—describes the general drainage area, drainage patterns within the area,
the stormwater system analysis and results, and implementation recommendations for each of the
following 10 major drainage areas in the City: Nine Mile Creek- North, Nine Mile Creek- Central,
Nine Mile Creek- South, Lake Cornelia/Lake Edina/Adam’s Hill, Nine Mile South Fork, Southwest
Ponds, Trunk Highway (TH) 169 North, Northeast Minnehaha, Southeast Minnehaha, and
Northwest Minnehaha.
Section 15.0: Issues and Implementation Program—describes the significant components of
the City’s CWRMP implementation program, including its NPDES Phase II Municipal Separate
Storm Sewer (MS4) permit, specific requirements of the NMCWD and MCWD, financial
considerations, ordinance implementation and official controls, and implementation priorities.
Section 16.0: Wetlands—Discusses the wetland inventories completed for the City of Edina and
the assessment methodologies and results.
Section 17.0: References

1.1 Problems, Issues, and Potential Solutions
This section summarizes the City’s 2018 - 2027 water resources implementation program, and potential
stormwater management improvements identified in Section 5.0 through Section 14.0 of the plan.
1.1.1 Water Resources Implementation Program
This plan serves as a master plan for the City’s water resources management and storm drainage system.
The City will work with residents to implement structural (capital) improvements and non-structural
programs to address existing water resource problems within the City and to prevent future problems
from occurring. The implementation program identifies and prioritizes the programs and improvements,
and provides cost estimates for budgeting purposes. Table 15.1 presents the City’s water resource-related
implementation program, which includes the City’s non-structural (administration) programs and
structural (capital) improvement program.
1.1.2 Runoff Management and Flood Control
The hydrologic and hydraulic modeling analyses of the current stormwater system identified several areas
throughout the City where the desired 1-percent-annual chance level of protection may not be provided.
These problem areas and potential solutions are discussed in detail in Section 5.0 through Section 14.0
and are summarized and prioritized in Table 15.2. In addition to evaluating the level of protection
provided by the current stormwater system, the level of service provided was also evaluated. From this
analysis, it was determined that the storm sewer throughout many areas of the City is not currently
providing the desired 10-year level of service. The areas where the storm sewer does not offer sufficient
capacity and street flow occurs during a 10-percent-annual-chance event are depicted in figures in
Section 5.0 through Section 14.0 .The capacity of these storm sewer systems should be evaluated and
upgraded as opportunities arise.
1.2 Flood Risk Reduction Strategy
As part of this 10-year plan, the City of Edina will develop a Flood Risk Reduction Strategy that outlines a
plan for working toward reducing flood risk, where appropriate, and meeting its stormwater management
goals for providing a 1-percent-annual-chance (100-year) level of protection where possible. The strategy
will identify and characterize flood problems throughout the city and identify strategies and infrastructure
improvements to address flood-prone areas. The strategy will include preparation of planning-level cost
estimates to help understand the potential financial investment required to meet the City’s flood
protection goals and the anticipated timeframe for implementation.
The Flood Risk Reduction Strategy will detail the City’s approach to addressing flood-prone areas based
on implementation categories described in Section 15.1.3.1.
he Flood Risk Reduction Strategy will focus on identification and prioritization of flood reduction efforts.
The City will seek to maximize cost effectiveness and capitalize on coinciding opportunities, such as
planned street reconstruction, redevelopment, availability of land, and other planned infrastructure
City of Edina
2017 Comprehensive Water Resource Management Plan
1-3
improvement projects. Consideration will also be given to achieving additional “co-benefits”, such as
water quality improvements, open space expansion, and wildlife habitat improvement.
The City recognizes that addressing regional and local flood issues throughout the community will require
multiple strategies and many actions implemented over a generational time frame. The City will employ
the strategies and associated actions summarized in Table 1.1 for addressing flood issues.
Table 1.1 Strategies and Potential Actions for Addressing Local and Regional Flood Issues
Strategies Potential Actions
Modify the flood
Plan, preserve and reclaim flood storage (new public and private stormwater
plans, deeds, easements, open space)
Maintain and increase green space
Maintain and increase storage (ponds, underground chambers, streets,
depressions)
Protect flow paths and emergency overflows
Manipulate timing of peak flow
Divert water
Control rate of peak flow
Detain and slowly release flow
Reuse water for beneficial purposes
Employ Green Infrastructure (GI) and Low Impact Development (LID) standards
Modify susceptibility Elevate structures
Acquire at-risk properties
Reduce impacts
Floodproof structures
Enforce substantial improvement limits
Elevate utilities
Encourage flood insurance
Encourage preparedness planning
Encourage resilient landscaping
Provide risk audits
Limit infiltration and inflow to the sanitary system
Maintaining existing floodplain infrastructure
1.3 Clean Water Strategy
As part of this 10-year plan, the City of Edina will develop a clean water implementation strategy that
outlines a plan for working toward meeting its clean water goals. The strategy will address the City’s
approach to meeting the pollutant reduction targets identified through the TMDL and WRAPS process.
The strategy will also determine pollutant load reduction targets for nondegradation of water bodies that
are not impaired and identify an approach for achieving these stormwater management targets. The clean
City of Edina
2017 Comprehensive Water Resource Management Plan
1-4
water implementation strategy will be a 5-year strategy that identifies regular “good housekeeping”
stormwater practices and clean water capital improvement projects (CIP) to achieve the goals, including
quantification of pollutant removals and preparation of planning-level cost estimates. This information will
be used for planning, as well as assessment of cost-benefit for project prioritization. The implementation
strategy will be developed in coordination with street reconstruction projects, redevelopment, and other
opportunities. Annual or biennial reporting will be included in the strategy to quantify movement toward
the City’s goals and track activities for the City’s annual SWPPP and MS4 reporting.
The Clean Water Strategy will define clean water goals, the cost and pace of achievement, and plan
implementation opportunities based on implementation categories described in Section 15.2.3.1.
Each of the clean water improvement opportunity categories identified above have opportunities for
partnership with other entities, such as private land owners, watershed districts, non-profit organizations,
or other local governmental entities.
