<br />I <br />~ <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />. <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />8.15.01 <br /> <br />There are two types of sweepers eommonly used: vacuum sweepers and <br />mechanical broom sweepers. Vacuum sweepers are more effective for <br />removing fine particles, but are ineffective at cleaning wet surfaces. <br />Mechanical broom sweepers are effective at picking up large particles and <br />cleaning wet surfaees, They also cost less to operate than the vacuum <br />sweepers. However, mechanical broom sweepers generally create airborne <br />dust during their operation and are not effective in removing the fme particles. <br /> <br />Public Participation, Information, and Education <br /> <br />The City of Arden Hills would like to increase public participation and <br />knowledge in management of the water resourees. Water quality issues <br />depend heavily on actions taken by private landowners. <br /> <br />The purpose of public partieipation, information and education efforts is to: <br /> <br />· Disseminate information regarding the Local Stormwater Management <br />Plan's (LSWMP) content; and <br /> <br />. Create support for the implementation of the LSWMP's goals and <br />policies. <br /> <br />RCWD does have a Technical and Citizen Advisory Committee that provides <br />education and information to the district eommunity. <br /> <br />However, the City will provide its citizens with watershed education in <br />addition to RCWD. There are some educational opportunities that the City <br />may complete which are relatively inexpensive, yet reach out to the citizens of <br />Arden Hills. <br /> <br />The implementation may inelude, but is not limited to: <br /> <br />1. Publieize seleeted issues using the City newsletter <br /> <br />2. Publicize issues on the City web site and create links on the site to <br />other web sites which highlight water quality issues <br /> <br />3. Develop a stormwater stencilinglsignage program <br /> <br />4. Encourage the Lake Assoeiations and other lake homeowners to <br />participate in a lake protection plan proeess <br /> <br />By using both the City newsletter and the web site to publicize selected issues, <br />more residents could be reaehed, The issues could include a variety of water <br />resource subjects including the use of phosphorous fertilizers, information on <br />the water quality of the lakes in the City, best management practiees (BMPs), <br />and information of current water quality improvement projects. <br /> <br />City of Arden Hills, Minnesota <br />Local Water Resource Management Plan <br /> <br />A-ARDENOt Ot .00 <br />Page 29 <br />
