1.0 Executive Summary This Local Surface Water Management Plan (LSWMP) for the City of Bloomington has been developed to meet local watershed management planning requirements of the Metropolitan Surface Water Management Act (Chapter 103B) and Board of Water and Soil Resources Rules 8410. It is developed to conform with the requirements of local watershed management organizations, Metropolitan Council requirements, Hennepin County goals, and applicable state and federal laws. This document and its referenced literature are intended to provide a comprehensive inventory of pertinent water resource related information that affects the City and management of those resources.
Chapter 2 of this plan provides an introduction and purpose. This section also lists the organizations involved in the creation of this plan.
Chapter 3 of this plan provides an inventory of land and water resources within the City. This section includes a general description and summary of data related to land use and public utilities services, topography, soils, geology and groundwater resources, climate and precipitation, and the quantity and quality of water resources throughout the City.
Chapter 4 of this plan outlines water resource management related goals and policies of the City which address the needs of the City and county, as well as regional, state, and federal agencies. The City’s goals and policies concerning water resources are as follows:
• Water Quantity and Flooding
Mitigate flood risk in a proactive and cost-effective way to foster a sustainable and
resilient community by managing runoff volume and rate and effectively
communicating risk
• Water Quality
Maintain or improve water quality to meet or exceed state standards in lakes, streams,
and rivers within or immediately downstream of the City
• Erosion and Sedimentation
Prevent erosion and sedimentation and correct existing erosion and sedimentation
problems
• Groundwater
Protect the quality and quantity of groundwater resources
page 2 | Chapter 1. Executive Summary
• Wetlands
Maintain the quantity of wetlands and preserve or improve their quality
• Recreation, Habitat, and Natural Areas
Protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitat and maintain access to recreational
areas
• Enhance Public Participation, Information, and Education
Increase public understanding and awareness of pertinent water resource
management issues and increase public participation in water management activities
Chapter 5 of this LSWMP provides an assessment of the existing and potential water resource related concerns within the City. These concerns are based on an analysis of the inventory information presented in Chapter 3 of this plan, the evaluation of recent hydrologic/hydraulic modeling conducted by the City, and public input. Corrective actions have been identified in response to concerns and typically include studies, capital improvements, or programs which may address these concerns. Problems and corrective actions within the following management categories are presented in this chapter:
• Water Quantity and Flooding
Localized and regional flooding
Flooding and stormwater rate control between the City and adjoining entities
Future flooding risk and uncertainty
• Water Quality
Impaired waters
Nuisance algal blooms and aquatic vegetation
Pond and ditch maintenance
Streambank and bluff erosion
• Erosion and Sedimentation
• Groundwater Management
Lyndale Avenue Corridor Superfund Site and other sensitive areas
Groundwater resource conservation
• Wetlands
Chapter 1. Executive Summary | page 3
• Recreation, Habitat, and Natural Areas
Floatables and invasive aquatic vegetation
Nuisance bird populations
• Enhance Public Participation, Information, and Education
Leaf litter management
Water quality and aquatic plant expectations in wetlands, ponds and shallow lakes
• Operations
Capital improvement programs to address water resource related concerns
Identification of problems potentially occurring within the next 20 years
Management of City water resource management systems
Maintenance of stormwater best management practices
Coordination of regulatory controls
Chapter 6 outlines implementation priorities and develops an implementation program. This section contains a listing of the studies, programs, and capital improvements that have been identified as necessary to respond to the water resource needs within the City and is presented in a tabular format. The implementation period identified within this report for the programs, studies, and capital improvements is from the year 2018 through 2027.
Chapter 7 discusses the financial considerations of implementing the proposed regulatory controls, programs, and improvements which have been identified in this plan and their financial impact on the City. Funding sources available for implementing the policies and corrective actions identified within this plan are identified. The plan indicates that the majority of funding for the policies and corrective actions will be from the City's Storm Water Utility Fund. Other possible funding sources for the implementation of this plan include special assessments, grant monies which may be secured from various local, regional, county, state, or federal agencies, or other partnerships.
Chapter 8 discusses the procedures to be followed in the event this LSWMP is amended. Once this plan is approved, no significant changes can be made without the approval of the proposed revisions by the watershed management organizations within the City which are affected by the change. Significant changes to the local plan shall be made known to the Mayor, City Council, City staff, the Metropolitan Council, and the affected watershed management organizations within the City.
page 4 | Chapter 1. Executive Summary
This LSWMP will be in effect through the year 2027, at which time this plan will be updated. However, if significant changes to the plan are deemed necessary prior to that date, the City may revise this plan in its entirety in accordance with Chapter 8.This plan contains appendices that provide background resource information for the City. Additional material is referenced within this report and is available at the Water Resources Library located at Bloomington Public Works, 1700 West 98th Street in Bloomington, as well as on the City’s website.
Chapter 2. Introduction and Purpose | page 5
2.0 Introduction and Purpose
2.1 Introduction The City of Bloomington is a suburb of the Twin Cities metropolitan area, located south of the cities of Edina and Richfield and north of the Minnesota River. The City contains diverse areas of residential neighborhoods, commercial and industrial developments, as well as park and recreation facilities. The City of Bloomington contains several prominent and valuable water resources, such as Nine Mile Creek, Bush Lake, Normandale Lake, and the Minnesota River. The City recognizes the value of the water resources within and downstream of its borders. The goals, policies, and implementation activities included in this plan demonstrate the City’s strong support for natural resource protection and investment in water quality. Bloomington is a fully developed city. Single family residential is the predominant land use. Significant commercial, industrial, and institutional development also exist within the City, as well as large areas of parkland, including Hyland Lake Park Preserve, Moir Park, and the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. Most of Bloomington is located within the watershed of Nine Mile Creek, which is managed by the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District (NMCWD). Another significant portion (along the southern edge of the City) is located within the Lower Minnesota River Watershed District (LMRWD). To a smaller extent, other areas of the City are located within the Riley-Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District (RPBCWD, along the central portion of the western border) and the Richfield-Bloomington Watershed Management Organization (RBWMO, near the northeastern edge of the City, bordering Richfield).
2.2 LSWMP Purpose and Scope The City developed this Local Surface Water Management Plan (LSWMP) to provide the City of Bloomington with direction concerning the administration and implementation of water resource management within the City. This plan is intended to meet the requirements for a local water management plan as required by the Metropolitan Surface Water Management Act (Chapter 103B) and conform with Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources Rules Chapter 8410. In addition to in conforming with the above-state law, this plan was also developed to meet the needs, requirements, and direction of the following: 1. The NMCWD Plan and Rules
page 6 | Chapter 2. Introduction and Purpose
2. The RPBCWD Plan and Rules 3. The LMRWD Plan and Rules 4. The RBWMO Plan 5. The state laws and rules concerning wetland management as outlined in the Wetland Conservation Act of 1991 and amendments 6. State and federal laws regarding the need to secure a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit. 7. Applicable erosion and sediment control and soil loss guidelines that are available through the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). This plan incorporates the approaches and direction provided in the programs and documents listed above into a comprehensive plan that can be consistently applied across the City.
2.3 Cooperative Partners To implement this plan, a coordinated water resource management approach must be used. This approach utilizes the services of staff within the City and surrounding communities, as well as staff associated with the various watershed districts and watershed management organizations having jurisdiction over areas within the City. The watershed districts and watershed management organizations having jurisdiction within the City are shown on Figure 3-1. The primary implementation responsibility will lie with the appropriate staff members at the City. Assistance from the surrounding municipalities and watershed management organizations will also be expected. A list of these cooperative partners having responsibilities for overseeing or implementing various aspects of Bloomington’s LSWMP are included below, along with their web addresses:
• City of Bloomington (www.bloomingtonmn.gov)

Metro Transit is planning improvements to the Route 5 corridor with the D Line Bus Rapid Transit (B RT)
Project, and are currently coordinating advocacy at the legislature to secure the remaining funding for the
project. The project would be a positive asset to the City of Richfield and enhance the overall metro transit
system, detailed below:
D Line Information
The D Line will substantially replace Route 5, running primarily on Portland Avenue within Richfield and on
Chicago, Emerson and Fremont Avenues in Minneapolis. Rapid bus brings better amenities, such as:
Faster, more frequent service
Pre-boarding fare payment for faster stops
Neighborhood-scale stations with amenities
Enhanced security
Larger & specialized vehicles
Richfield will have D Line stations at:
Portland Ave. & 66th St.
Portland Ave. & 70th St.
Portland Ave. & 73rd St.
Portland Ave. & 77th St.
Additional Project Details and Improvements
Route 5 is the Twin Cities’ busiest bus route, carrying about 16,000 customers each weekday. During
rush hours, Route 5 buses make up less than 2 percent of vehicle traffic but carry more than 20
percent of people traveling through the corridor.
The D Line is projected to be about 20 percent faster than Route 5 with longer station spacing, fares
collected at stations, and raised curbs for access.
