The Plan identifies ground water contaminated <br />areas and predicts areas that are potentially susceptible to ground water <br />contamination. It also contains a comprehensive topographic and geological <br />overview describing ground water aquifers in the County. <br /> <br />Approximately 60-70% land area within the City is identified as having a <br />"moderate sensitivity" to ground water pollution (Ramsey County, Figure <br />3,06-1, page 3-21). As discussed within the above Utilities section, the 51. <br />Paul Water Utility provides municipal water to the City of Arden Hills. Thus, <br />development of a well-head protection area plan would not be necessary. <br /> <br />Water-based Recreation Areas <br /> <br />There are two major water-based recreation areas within the City of Arden <br />Hills. Ramsey County's redeveloped Tony Schmidt Regional Park is on the <br />north side of Lake Johanna and includes a swimming beach and boat ramp. <br />Ramsey County's Lake 10sephine Park also has a swimming beach and <br />concrete boat access off Lexington Avenue, , <br /> <br />Unique Features and Scenic Areas <br /> <br />The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources maintains a database of <br />unique and sensitive plant and animal species. <br /> <br />According to the RCWD Water Resource Management Plan the Blandings <br />Turtle (Emydoidea Blandingii), which has received a "threatened status" in <br />the State of Minnesota, has been found within the City limits. <br /> <br />Pollutant Sources <br /> <br />The MPCA maintains lists of the generators of hazardous waste, above ground <br />and underground storage tanks, and leaking underground storage tanks, The <br />list is provided in Appendix D. <br /> <br />City of Arden Hills, Minnesota <br />Local Stormwater Management Plan <br /> <br />A-ARDEN0101.00 <br />Page 22 <br />
