(Bolded text are files/links that can be downloaded and/or accessed via our website)
EASEMENTS
Many proposed projects that require or involve stormwater ponds, infiltration features,
and/or wetlands are required to record drainage and utility easements over these features
utilizing the<Easement Template>. Legal descriptions of these easements must be
prepared by the applicant, reviewed and approved by the District, and then submitted to
the County Recorder's Office for recording.
STORMWATER MAINTENANCE
For projects involving stormwater ponds and infiltration features, applicants must
complete and record a<Stormwater Operation and Maintenance Agreement> for
these features unless a City assumes the maintenance responsibilities of these features as
indicated in a letter to the District. An exhibit and/or legal description that clearly
delineates and identifies all stormwater and infiltration features must accompany the
stormwater operation and maintenance agreement. A draft of this agreement with
accompanying exhibit must be submitted to the District for review and approval prior to
submission to the County Recorder's office. For all documents submitted for recording,
a copy of a receipt from the County Recorder's Office indicating that the documents were
submitted must be provided to the District prior to permit issuance.
WETLAND CONSERVATION ACT FORMS
For projects involving wetland impacts and replacement, State law requires the
preparation and recording of<Wetland Legal Forms> for the replacement wetlands on
the site. Instructions for completing and recording these forms are included in the
wetland legal forms document. The wetland legal documents require the applicant to
prepare legal descriptions of all replacement wetlands. These legal descriptions and the
forms must be reviewed and approved by the District prior to submittal to the County
Recorder's Office for recording.
PERFORMANCE SURETY $
Sureties are generally required of all applicants, and are set based on District rules related
to the scope and nature of the project. A surety is a monetary sum provided by the
applicant to the District. The District returns the money to the applicant after project
completion if all permit conditions are met. For surety amounts of$5000 or less,the
applicant must provide the District with a check made out to the Rice Creek Watershed
District. For surety amounts over$5000,the applicant must provide the first$5000 in the

Findings: 1. The proposed project entails an 11,500± SF parking lot
expansion/reconstruction at an existing townhouse complex. The
site is ultimately tributary to Rice Creek.
2. The additional impervious surface created by the project will
discharge to a large, shallow rain garden/infiltration basin designed
to retain the runoff from the 100-year event; thereby satisfying
District rate control, water quality treatment, and infiltration
requirements. Pretreatment of parking lot runoff prior to discharge
to the rain garden/infiltration basin is provided via a 10-foot wide

grass buffer strip. However, ribbon curb or multiple curb cuts
should be incorporated to increase pretreatment capability.
3. No wetlands are located onsite.
4. The RCWD regulatory floodplain elevation for the site is 850.4
(1994 Calibration Study, Rice Creek at Central Avenue). No
floodplain is present on the site. The lowest floor elevation of
adjacent buildings is greater than one foot above the emergency
overflow elevation of the proposed infiltration basin.
5. The submitted erosion control plan includes silt fence downslope of
disturbed areas and erosion control blanket to stabilize curb cuts and
emergency overflow. A revised erosion control plan is required
including revegetation specifications and an implementation
schedule.
