Minnesota Administrative Rules

8410.0010 SCOPE.

Subpart 1.

Application.

Upon adoption, parts 8410.0010 to 8410.0180 apply to the general administration of metropolitan watershed management activities and to amendments to existing plans made after January 1, 1995. If no plan has been submitted to the board by August 3, 1992, any plan thereafter submitted must be in compliance with parts 8410.0010 to 8410.0180. A watershed management organization must amend its plan consistent with parts 8410.0010 to 8410.0180 and submit amendments to the board according to its amendment schedule and amendment procedures outlined in part 8410.0140, but not later than ten years from the date of initial plan approval.

Subp. 2.

Failure to implement plans.

When the board determines that a plan is not being properly implemented under an action initiated according to part 8410.0180, and there is reason to believe that an improved plan would lead to improved water management, the board may direct the responsible authorities to develop an amended plan within a reasonable time frame. In making this determination, the board must consider items including, but not limited to:

A.

when the plan was approved and adopted;

B.

the status of local plan development and adoption;

C.

the scope and anticipated costs to amend;

D.

the availability of funds; and

E.

the potential short- and long-term adverse impacts on the natural resources of the affected watershed.
