<br />e <br /> <br />H-12 <br /> <br />Improper Maintainence <br /> <br />The next portion deals with systems that are not maintained. The two <br />concerns are: backing up into the home and ~l wet area in the back <br />yard. <br /> <br />Both of these problems can be caused by improper maintenance, <br />excessive water use or undersizing. <br /> <br />The maintenance of the system must be verified before calling this <br />system nonconforming. If the problem persists after the system has <br />been properly maintained, or if additional problems arise during the <br />maintenance process, this is considered a failing system and is <br />considered nonconforn1ing. <br /> <br />If the problem does not persist. then this could be a conforming <br />system. <br /> <br />Conforming System <br /> <br />If you have gone through each of these steps and been able to answer <br />each question and move forw~lrd on the list, then you have a conform- <br />ing system. <br /> <br />e Floodplain Management in <br />Minnesota <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />The 1969 Minnesota State Legislature emlcted the Minnesota <br />Floodplain Management Act, which contains the set of policies and <br />guidelines that all state agencies and local units of government must <br />adhere to when involved within the broad umbrella of flood plain <br />management activities. The Depanment of Natuml Resources (DNR) <br />is the lead agency in Minnesota in implementing the State Floodplain <br />Management Act. <br /> <br />The State Legislature has developed a flood damage reduction <br />philosophy emphasizing nonstructurdl floodplain management, <br />which includes floodplain zoning, flood proofing and flood warning <br />practices. In fact, the Legislature has declared that "floodlain <br />anagement ordinances are to be given primary consideration in the <br />reduction of flood damage in Minnesota and that alternative methods- - - <br />(such as dikes, levees and floodwalls) for reducing flood damage may <br />not be carried out before adoption of floodplain management <br />ordinances by local units of governmenL" In addition, floodplain <br />regulations are not to prohibit floodplain development but are to <br />provide for the wise development of floodplains of this state. <br /> <br />Steps 8 and 9 <br /> <br />Step 10 <br /> <br />A Floodplain <br />Management _ <br />Philosophy <br />
