Background/Justification:
The purpose of this agenda item is to authorize the release of Scott WMO Comprehensive Water Resources
Management Plan Amendment #1 for BWSR final review and approval. The Scott WMO Comprehensive
Water Resource Management Plan was adopted June 9, 2009. However, at that time water quality studies for
Sand Creek, and Cedar and McMahon Lakes were underway; and Plan specifically anticipated completing an
amendment once the studies were complete in order incorporate implementation items identified in the studies.
These studies were completed in the summer of 2010 and the anticipated amendment was written and
released for the 60 agency review and comment period in accordance with applicable requirements. The
comment period ended December 3, 2010. The Amendment was also reviewed with the County Board and a
public hearing held January 11, 2011. Only one agency comment was received. The comment was minor and
a response was sent out in writing to the review agency. The next step in the process is to submit the
amendment to BWSR for their final review and approval.
