Review the salt/sand application policy for its balance with public safety <br />and environmental protection. <br /> <br />Street Sweeping <br />Street sweeping is most effective in removing coarse particles, sand, leaves, <br />debris, and other similar materials. It is recommended to have a semiannual <br />street sweeping program, with the most beneficial sweeping is accomplished <br />early in the spring after snow melt, and in the fall after the leaves have fallen. <br />It has not been proven that sweeping the streets more than twice a year <br />provides a significant increase in sediment removal. So in terms of a <br />cost/benefit ratio it does not make sense to sweep the streets more than twice a <br />year at this time. <br /> <br />There are two types of sweepers commonly 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 surfaces. 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 fine particles. <br /> <br />OBJECTIVE H: Public Participation, Information, and Education (AH). <br /> <br />H.l Policy: To increase public participation and knowledge <br />in management of the water resources. <br /> <br />Water quality issues depend heavily on actions taken by private landowners. <br /> <br />The purpose of public participation, 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 tbe district community. <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 />City of Arden Hills, Minnesota <br />Local Water Resource Management Plan <br /> <br />A,ARDEN01 01 ,00 <br />Page 33 <br />
