Sauk River Watershed To Host Hearing on Proposed Rules
The Sauk River Watershed District (SRWD) is updating the Rules for the District’s permitting program. These rules establish the baseline for when a permit is required on a project. The District’s watershed management plan identifies several areas where District Rules are necessary to effectuate the District’s statutory purposes. The Districts Rules are intended to fill gaps in existing federal, state, and local regulations, not duplicate existing regulation.
The four provisions in the rules are: Stormwater, Erosion Control, Drainage, and Water Uses. A complete copy of the rules is available on the SRWD website at www.srwdmn.org. It is also recommended to read the SONAR document along with the rules.
The Sauk River Watershed will hold a public hearing that is open to all persons within the Sauk River Watershed on January 26th, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. The hearing will be held at Melrose City Center, in Melrose, MN. The purpose of the hearing is to take comment on the proposed rules revision for the SRWD per Minnesota Statute 103D.341.
