City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan Approved: September 28, 2009 E-1 APPENDIX E – SANITARY SEWER PLAN • Within this appendix the sections relating to the TCAAP property have been updated as of July 13, 2015, to reflect the proposed development and the TCAAP Redevelopment Code. Sections not directly related to the TCAAP property have not been updated. 1. INTRODUCTION The Sanitary Sewer portion of the Arden Hills Comprehensive Plan was last updated in 2009. The primary purpose of this update is to consider development/redevelopment that is being planned within the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) area of the City. This is the area located north of Highway 96 and east of Interstate 35W. This 427 acre area compromised of a mix of business and residential land uses is expected to develop beginning in 2016 and be fully built out by 2030. This update has been prepared to be consistent with the requirements of the Metropolitan Council’s Local Planning Handbook. The Local Planning Handbook describes the content requirements for the sewer element of comprehensive plans. This report serves as both the sewer element of the City’s comprehensive plan (Tier I) as well as the City’s local sewer extension plan (Tier II). The information included in this update allows the Metropolitan Council to plan and manage their regional sewage collection and treatment systems. 2. EXISTING SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM The City of Arden Hills is entirely within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA), therefore sanitary sewer collection and treatment is provided to the City via the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) system. The City does not own or operate any sewage treatment facilities. Within the City, the system is under the jurisdiction of the City’s sanitary sewer utility. Historically, the sanitary sewer utility has managed to be self-supporting; with future infrastructure replacement needs financed from revenues generated from the fees paid by users. The Arden Hills sanitary sewer system consists of approximately 42 miles of sanitary sewer, over 1,050 manholes, and 14 lift stations. The public sanitary sewer provides service connections to approximately 2,622 households and businesses. Of these connections, approximately 2,492 are residential and 130 are non-residential. The City’s sanitary sewer lines and lift stations collect sewage from individual parcels or properties and route the sewage to the MCES sewer system. MCES owns and maintains the interceptor sewers. Wastewater is collected and delivered to four connection points with the MCES system: Meter 051, Meter 052, Meter 054, and Meter 059. The City’s sanitary sewer system and the connection points to the MCES system are identified on Figure E.1.
