Absent: Mayor Dennis Probst. DISCUSSION Mr. Lynch explained the handouts, which were maps of the street ratings, the types of streets, and whether or not the streets had curbs. He stated it appeared that the streets in highest distress were located in the southeast. He noted the northeast segment streets were in the best shape. He added he was surprised that most of the curbing was bituminous and that there was quite a bit of no curb streets. He stated the issue was how to determine which streets to improve and what do they do about agreed upon street standards. Councilmember Larson stated it would be valuable to see whether it was concrete curb, bituminous curb or no curb. Councilmember Rem concurred. Councilmember Grant stated the language implies that striping should exist on city streets. He noted he did not want to see the city's streets striped. Councilmember Larson concurred. He noted he thought striping was for collector streets and not typical streets. Councilmember Grant stated how they defined collector streets was an important issue. He noted a road could be designated MSA and not be a collector. He added this should not be an arbitrary distinction. Councilmember Larson concurred. Councilmember Rem stated they should discuss how they deal with roads based on their existing width. Councilmember Grant stated if a road had existing curb and gutter they would not remove it to widen or narrow an existing road unless it was substandard. Councilmember Larson stated if a street were wider than the standard, they would not make it narrower. Councilmember Aplikowski stated her concerns about narrowing the intersections of any city streets. Councilmember Larson concurred it would not always be appropriate. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 13,2001 DR^~ 6!f . 2 Councilmember Grant stated the public works staff would like a b style curb so they would have e a straight edge to follow and on cul-de-sacs they would probably prefer the lower curb. He noted they should be asked for their opinions. He added public works should not drive the decisions, but the Council should be aware of that information when they make the decision.

Briggs & Morgan, Presbyterian Homes Bond Issue Mr. Lynch explained that he was contacted by Briggs and Morgan in anticipation of an attempt to have the City of Arden Hills be the issuing city for a bond issue for Presbyterian Homes. He stated the bonds would be used for capital improvements for their Arden Hills facility and their Bloomington facility. Mr. Mark Meyer, of Presbyterian Homes, stated they had contemplated a five million-dollar bond issue. He noted most of that amount was spent here in Arden Hills. He added another $1.5 million would pay themselves back for the cooperative unit in Bloomington. He stated they are attempting to restore their cash position. He noted the last $2 million would be for future improvements. He added the banks had qualified the bond. Mr. Lynch stated the bank qualification was because the city has historically issued less than $10 million in debt annually, He noted this does count against the city's ability to issue debt for that year. He added the city had not issued that much in a single year. Ms. Jenny Grain, of Briggs & Morgan, stated the only concern would be if the expectation would be that the city would be going to issue more than $10 million in bonds in one year. Mr. Lynch stated this would be risk free and cost free. He noted Presbyterian Homes would agree to pay the legal and bond counsel costs. He added it did not affect the city's debt rating or credit. He stated it was not backed by the full faith and credit of the City of Arden Hill. He noted they would still need to hold a public hearing, and follow the normal procedures so there would be a time commitment. Councilmember Grant asked about the advantages for Presbyterian Homes, Mr. Meyer responded this allows the bonds to be issued on a tax -exempt basis, so they had a lower interest rate, Councilmember Rem stated they did this in 1999 so there should be documentation and explanations available, Ms. Grain stated they should have a bond transcript. Mr. Meyer stated they did a $25 million bond issue in 1999, He noted there had been two such issues since he had been with the company. Mr. Lynch stated the city was already a bank-qualified community. He noted this matter was brought before the Council to determine if the Council was interested enough to set the public hearing to decide this issue. ~. .,-- . e e t e e e ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - AUGUST 13,2001 ",C'.-.' 'i" "'..... t L: l'",... r~-"r L,;, r~t I: 3 Ms. Grain stated Presbyterian Homes would like to close the deal by the end of September so the best date for the public hearing would be the September 10, 2001, Councilmember Larson stated he had no problem supporting this, but thought they should have had something in the packet. Councilmember Rem concurred. Councilmember Grant stated the City was not issuing or backing the bonds, He noted this was procedural. He asked if the city would appear as a named party to provide tax-exempt status. He stated this would support the community. Ms. Grain stated the city would be the issuer. She noted Presbyterian Homes' corporate headquarters was here in Arden Hills. Mr. Meyer stated the bonds would be non-recourse to the city, Ms. Grain stated the last two pages of her sample information were the notice that would appear in the paper. MOTION: Councilmember Rem moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to set the public hearing for September 10,2001 to consider a) the proposal of Presbyterian Homes Bloomington Care Center, Inc. that the city finance the projects described by the issuance of revenue obligations and b) the adoption of a housing program with respect to the housing projects described in the sample notice. The motion carried unanimously (4-0), B. Pay Request #5, Gridor Construction, Lift Station #8 Mr. Brown explained the request for Pay Estimate # 5. He stated the project had been completed. He noted the work that was left was to make the lift station work more efficiently. He added the work was fairly minor so they would still retain 2% of the total project cost. MOTION: Counci1member Larson moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to approve Pay Request #5 from Gridor Construction, in the amount of $17,190.36 as recommended by Staff. The motion carried unanimously (4-0). C. City Hall Construction Project 1. City Hall Furniture Recommendation Mr, Lynch explained the original bid for city hall only included signage for the restrooms and exits. He stated they were trying to make decisions for signage for the public to identify rooms. He showed a sample of the signage for the conference rooms, conununity rooms, and staff area rooms. He stated there would be a total of25 signs. Councilmember Grant asked about the vault. Mr. Lynch responded it was used for records that needed to be maintained permanently. He stated it was a fireproofed room.

Councilmember Aplikowski stated it would be a three-day event. She noted the business lunch would be Friday, the banquet would be Saturday evening and the open house would be on Sunday. She noted her concern that the minutes do not reflect what actually takes place at the council meetings. She stated the building would have better audio, but she did not like the abbreviated minutes. She noted she finds them hard to live with. Councilmember Rem stated the newsletter deadline was Wednesday August 15, 2001. She noted she had been asked to do an article on the status of City Hall with a front-page article about the dedication. She added she would check with staff on an update. Councilmember Grant asked about the cancellation of the Operations and Finance Committee meeting. Mr. Lynch responded the Chairman of the committee canceled it. Councilmember Grant asked about the repaving efforts underway. Mr. Lynch responded they were all Ramsey County projects. He statcd the project started before the date city staff was told it would start. He noted County Road E-2 had been milled, and a layer of sealcoat had been applied. He added Hamline Avenue was nearly complete. He stated Old Highway 10 was complete from County Road E to Valentine Road, and New Brighton Road from County Road E- e 2 to County Road E. He noted they were not supposed to start until this week. He added they have discussed the poor communication with the county.

DENNIS PROBST, MAYOR ATTEST: JOSEPH P. LYNCH, CITY ADMINISTRATOR I e e e ~ ~ EN HILLS MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Joe Lynch, City Administrato SUBJECT: JP A Ramsey County Election Equipment DATE: September 6,2001 Backl!:round The Council received a copy of the proposed JPA with Ramsey County for the purchase of voting machines in your non-agenda for the week ended August 31,2001. I have enclosed another copy because this item is on the consent agenda for your approval, for the Monday September 10, 2001, Council meeting. The County is going ahead with the purchase of these machines for odd year elections in 200 I and all other municipal elections in 2002. The City of Arden Hills was involved in discussions and deliberations about the Joint Powers Agreement and financing proposal. There are two options for the City to consider for financing these machines. The first option is a straight purchase. The second option is to allow Ramsey County to purchase these machines and we pay for them over the next five years. Our current machines will no longer be supported for maintenance and supplies. In light of the recent general election, Ramsey County and affected municipalities felt it is in our best interest to replace our voting equipment now, rather than later. Recommendation Staff recommends that the City purchase four voting machines outright tluough the Ramsey County JPA in the amount of$25,438. There will be additional costs for software, training, support and ongoing maintenance. It is anticipated that this will be a one time fee of approximately $7,500. All costs will be funded from Fund 411, Capital fund. This will not impact the general fund or the tax levy for 2002. :s '" Tef L -'I- Property Records and Revenue Director Dorothy A McClung 845 Government Center West 50 West Kellogg Boulevard St. Paul, MN 55102,1696 - ~ RAMSEY COUNTY y\ 6'" , ". .. ."

'j i Mr, Joe Lynch, City Administrator City of Arden Hills 4364 West Round Lake Road Arden Hills, MN 55112 Dear Mr. Lynch, On August 14, 2001, the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners adopted resolution 2001-283 approving a Joint Powers Agreement for Election System Replacement ("JPA'"), authorizing staff to send a copy of the JPA to each Ramsey County Municipality and asking for approval of the JPA. Copies of the resolution and the JPA are attached. As you know, the Board and Ramsey County municipalities decided to purchase a new election system this year replacing the fifteen year old equipment that has become less reliable with age. You have had a chance to review a draft of the JPA before it was presented to the Board. The JPA approved by the Board contains a new clause XI as a result of the meeting we had on August 2. You may recall that we discussed setting performance standards for the new system and establishing a formal mechanism to review performance issues. You will note that we will not reopen the financial relationships for five years. The financial data in Appendix D contains our very best estimates of total system costs. But we used current precinct numbers understanding that redistricting and municipal choices may change the 2002 precincts. Next summer we will have final precinct numbers and the final financial package can be determined. However, the final numbers probably won't be significantly different. We are asking you to present the JPA to your Council before November 1, but the sooner the better. Joe Mansky (Elections Manager), Chris Samuel (Local Government Manager) or I would be happy to attend the Council meeting to explain the JPA and financial data. Please note that each Municipality should indicate the payment option it is choosing. Please call Joe (266-2221), Chris Samuel (266-2041), or me (266-2196) with any questions. And, please, send me a copy of the Council's action. Sincerely, r-r,. ('j ..... n /')' ~i/ (/ ?:. .' i:.~ncfrt;:i C. ! V U-.fi'/'~/ Dorothy A.

Staff from Property Records and Revenue and the County Attorney's Office .. worked on a draft joint powers agreement (JPA) incorporating the direction in Resolution 2001-129. The draft JP A was sent to city managers, city administrators, city clerks and city election clerks on July 30, 2001. On August 2, 2001, Dorothy McClung and Chris Samuel met with the municipal officials to review the draft. Questions were raised about performance measures. In response, the draft JP A was amended to include Clause XI that provides for an annual review process. All participants are eager to measure the performance of the new election equipment but we need to give more thought on what will be measured and how. Upon County Board approval of the Joint Powers Agreement, it will be sent to each Ramsey County Municipality for their approval. ACTION REQUESTED 1) Approve the Joint Powers Agreement for Election System Replacement; and 2) Authorize staff to send copies of the approved Joint Powers Agreement to each Ramsey County Municipality requesting their approval e e e Kev Elements of the Joint Powers Al!reement o Timing - Equipment and support will be in place to allow Maplewood, New Brighton, Roseville and While Bear Lake to conduct 200 I elections on the new equipment. All other cities will implement in 2002. . Equipment Financing - The County provides up front financing for tabulators and system hardware and software acquired in 200 I and 2002. The Cities reimburse the COWIty for these costs either through a lump sum payment in 2002 or, if a city so chooses, in five equal yearly installments commencing in 2002. Cities that pay over time also reimburse the county for any debt issuance costs or interest incurred by the County. . Backup tabulators - The County acquires backup tabulators for the entire county thereby reducing the total number of tabulators needed. The County works with the cities to make sure that adequate backups are in place on Election Day. The current estimate is that backups will make up 10% of the total number of tabulators. o Cost Allocation - A City will pay for the tabulators requested by that City. Special requests will be billed to the requesting city. The costs for administrative hardware and software, backup tabulators, training and other implementation services, tabulator maintenance, software service agreement and other post-implementation services will all be allocated to cities based on the number of tabulators requested by that city relative to the total number of tabulators requested by all cities. Consequently, costs are allocated based more on service demand. This was the method selected by the County Board and favored by most city managers as an alternative to the value-based allocation that would occur if the COWIty paid for the costs and which would result in tax burdens disproportionate to services received. Costs will be reduced for all cities if state or federal financing is secured to buy down the costs of the project. . Ownership - The cities will own the tabulators that they request, once they are paid for. The County will own the backup tabulators and system hardware and software. . Tabulator Maintenance - Before the expiration of the warranty, the County, with input from the cities, will determine whether ongoing maintenance should be provided on a fixed fee or a time and materials basis. This decision applies to all tabulators in the County. o Ballot Generation - The County agrees to provide ballot generation services for all elections (previously this only applied to even year elections or to the City of St. Paul due to the contract the County has with that city). The County also agrees to accumulate election results for all elections and to return an election results electronic data file or report based on the city's needs. . Term - The agreement is for ten years. Stens that have alreadv been taken . Tabulators and administrative hardware and software have been ordered and delivered in order to conduct elections this Fall in Maplewood, New Brighton, Roseville and White Bear Lake on Global election equipment. . Operator training in tabulator functionality, testing and election operations has occurred for county and city staffthat have ejections this Fall. Additional operator training is scheduled for all cities in August. . County staff have attended training in the GEMS election software used for generating ballots, programming memory cards and accumulating and displaying election results. a .0 EJection judge training on the new equipment is scheduled in August. ., Some cities have conducted new equipment demonstrations using famous names ballots at local community events. -, SteDs that have alreadv heen taken (continued) · Negotiations have commenced with the City ofSt. Paul on needed modifications to the existing contract fo. election services between the City of St. Paul and Ramsey County. .. . Alternative state and federal funding sources have been monitored. Next SteDs 1. Get Cities' approval on joint powers agreement. 2. Return to County Board with suggested modifications to St. Paul contract. 3. Take steps necessary to apply for state or federal funding. 4.

Number of machines -TIle number of machines used for allocating payments is based upon the number of precincts in each municipality with the exception of Mounds View where five machines have been included for the single precinct contained in that city. The actual number of machines ordered may change due to redistricting in the Spring of 2002. Cities that are not in the totals include: . Blaine (Ramsey County portion has no registered voters); . Sl. Anthony (coordinates election services through Hennepin County); . Spring Lake Park (coordinates election services through Anoka County); & . Gem Lake (small number of registered voters, tabulator provided from backup supplies). 2. Gem Lake _ While Gem Lake has not been allocated the direct cost for a tabulator, the city has been allocated proportionate shares of administrative equipment costs, Implementation Services and Post- Implementation Services as if the city had purchased a tabulator. 3. Implementation Services - Includes estimates for "portal to portal expenses" in addition to direct staff costs as anticipated to be provided by the vendor as outlined in Appendix B. 4. Post-Implementation Services -Includes estimated costs for the software service agreement, a fixed price tabulator maintenance contract at $125 per tabulator, and Election Day support for two elections per year. Special testing, training or special election support would be in addition to these costs. e Prepared by: Ramsey County, Property Records & Revenue, Local Government (CAS) 7/30/01 e Elections JP A 24 of 25 .

The Statute and Rule requires the preparation of watershed plans by watershed management organizations such as Rice Creek Watershed District. Local water management plans must subsequently be prepared by the respective local governments and be consistent with the watershed plan. The Arden Hills Local Storm Water Management Plan (LSWMP) has been prepared according to State statutory and rule requirements. The Plan is subdivided into five sections: 1. Introduction; 2. Physical Environment; 3. Hydraulic and Water Quality Analyses; 4. Goals, Policies, and Objectives; and 5. Implementation. The Plan is consistent with the requirements of the Rice Creek Watershed District. The City of Arden Hills has seven lakes that are either partially or entirely lying within City limits. Therefore, the lakes have always been a focus of the City, and the protection of its water resources is a high priority. The City has a shoreland protection ordinance and a sediment and erosion control ordinance. Significant growth and development is not anticipated in Arden Hills, except in the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) property, which occupies nearly one-third of the land area in the City. Over the next 20 years, TCAAP land is expected to be released from the federal government for redevelopment.

The Statute and Rule requires the preparation of watershed plans by watershed management organizations such as Rice Creek Watershed District. Local water management plans must subsequently be prepared by the respective local governments and be consistent with the watershed plan. The Arden Hills Local Storm Water Management Plan (LSWMP) has been prepared according to State statutory and rule requirements. The boundaries of Arden Hills lie entirely within Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD). The watershed district updated their Water Resource Management Plan in October, 1997. The City of Arden Hills is required to submit their Local Storrnwater Management Plan for review for consistency with the updated RCWD plan. The City of Arden Hills recently updated Comprehensive Plan must include the LSWMP as required by Minnesota Statutes, Section 473.859, and Subdivision 2 and be reviewed by the Metropolitan Council. The City of Arden Hills is only a small part of the Minneapolis _ St. Paul metropolitan area. The nature of physical development and redevelopment within Arden Hills, its nature resources, people, economy and government plan must all be placed in context with what is happening in the larger metropolitan area, particularly the metropolitan area in the immediate vicinity of Arden Hills. The cities in the metropolitan area are impacted increasingly by environmental concerns. These concerns include loss of wetlands, lake and river water quality, wastewater treatment, groundwater protection, shoreland development. and construction erosion and sedimentation problems. The impact of these environmental concerns affects recreational opportunities, aesthetic considerations, and also affects ecological diversity and wildlife habitat. Often city councils and their respective staffs are under varied pressure from homeowners, park and recreational users, land developers, real estate agencies and environmental groups in their communities. Chapter 103B and the political environment make water resource management planning an important issue. City of Arden Hills, Minnesota Local Stormwater Management Plan A.ARDEN0101.00 Page 3 I ~ I I I I I I .. I I I I I I I , I 9.7.01 Background The land that became the City of Arden Hills was originally part of Mounds View Township. The area was first settled in the mid-1800s. In 1906, Joseph Hackney, a State senator and millionaire, settled on the land and built Arden Farms. This farm and the terrain would eventually give the City its name. In 1951, the City of Arden Hills was created. The City of Arden Hills is located in Ramsey County, approximately eight miles north of the downtown areas of Minneapolis and St. Paul. It is bordered on the north and east ~y Shoreview, the west by Mounds View and New Brighton, and the south by RosevilJe. The City of Arden Hills is bordered by County Road I to the north, Lexington Avenue to the east, Interstate 35W to the west, and partially by County Road D to the south. The City's area covers approximately 9.4 square miles. The Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) occupies approximately 4 square miles of the northern portion of the City, or nearly one-third of the entire land area of Arden Hills. Over the next 20 years, TCAAP land is expected to be released by the federal government to be redeveloped. Site contamination clean up will determine rate of land release. See Figure 1 for location map. The lakes have always been the focus of the Arden Hills' community. There are seven lakes that lie entirely or partially within the City limits. Lake Johanna is the largest lake in the City, covering approximately 230 acres. There are also public ditches and wetland complexes throughout the City. The City falls entirely under the jurisdiction of Rice Creek Watershed District. The southern portion of Arden Hills is fully developed. The TCAAP land, in the northern portion of the City, will be redeveloped in the future. The redevelopment of TCAAP will have a significant impact on the future nature of the City. The TCAAP Framework Plan includes preserving nearly one-half of the area in its natural state, public parks, mixed residential and mixed business use. A large portion of the City is residential, but Arden Hills also consists of lakes and parks, and serves as home to many businesses of multiple sizes, along with two private colleges. The City of Arden Hills aims to maintain their existing residential neighborhoods, strengthen their commercial and industrial areas, and incorporate the redevelopment of TCAAP into the City's long range planning. City of Arden Hills, Minnesota Local Stormwater Management Plan A-ARDEN0101.00 Page 4 I ~ I I I I I I II I I I I I I I , I 9,7.01 Purposes of Metropolitan Water Management Program The purposes of the water management programs required by Minnesota Statutes sections I03B,205 to 103B,255 are to: L protect, preserve and use natural surface and groundwater storage and retention systems; 2. minimize public capital expenditures needed to correct flooding and water quality problems; 3. identify and plan for means to effectively protect and improve surface and groundwater quality; 4, establish more uniform local policies and official controls for surface and groundwater management; 5. prevent erosion of soil into surface water systems; 6, promote groundwater recharge; 7, protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitat and water recreational facilities: and 8, secure the other benefits associated with the proper management of surface and groundwater. The intent of the Local Stormwater Management Plan is to gather all essential information and planning data into a single document which describes the existing environment, establishes specific policy and management methods for protection and future enhancement of the City's water and wetland resources, while recognizing the need for proper land utilization and growth. The Plan has been prepared in conformance with the criteria set forth in the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) Water Resource Management Plan. The criteria, as a minimum, establish the degree of performance necessary to achieve improvement in water quality and quantity management. These criteria are not intended to dictate or preempt the design process, but rather provide guidelines to proper development. Plan Summary The Arden Hills Local Stormwater Management Plan includes the elements required by Minnesota Statutes Chapter 103B and the Metropolitan Council's guidelines for Water Management Plans which include the requirements found in Minnesota Rules, Chapter 8410, and the requirements set forth in the RCWD Water Resource Management Plan, The Plan includes identification of and recommendations for protection and maintenance of the existing hydrologic system, the goals and policies for water quality and quantity, erosion and sediment control, recreation, fish and wildlife enhancement, and an implementation program with a process for Plan amendment. The Plan supplements the Watershed District's Plan, creating a rational, efficient local City of Arden Hills, Minnesota Local Stormwater Management Plan A-ARDEN0101.00 Page 6 I ~ I I I I I I II I I I I I I I , I 9.7.01 management approach. By minimizing public capital expenditures and enhancing water quality, the City will best manage its important water resources.

This glacial and terminal moraine is characterized by steep hills interspersed with deep depressions. The depressions are occupied by small lakes or are ftIled with peat. The topography of the City is relatively diverse, with undulating to steep slopes. The highest point in Ramsey County is located in Arden Hills, on the TCAAP property. The entire City is ultimately tributary to Rice Creek. Detailed descriptions of the City's bedrock geology can be obtained from the Rice Creek Watershed District. In addition, the Minnesota Geological Survey can provide maps detailing the bedrock hydrogeology of Minnesota. addressing rock formations and aquifers. Soils Most of the soils within Arden Hills are glacial tills. The soils tend to be well drained, and moderately coarse textured. The main source of information on existing soils found within the City of Arden Hills was prepared by the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS). The NRCS has established four general types of soil groups based on texture and slope as described below: . Group A - Low runoff potential, high infiltration . Group B - Moderate infiltration . Group C - Slow infiltration rate . Group D - Very slow infiltration rate, high runoff potential The runoff potential of an area is determined using these general soil characteristics in combination with land use classifications, vegetation of the area and rainfall intensity determined from charts for the various design storms.

The Ramsey County Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook (1989) may also be used for erosion protection guidance. Precipitation Climate within the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area is described as a humid continental climate with moderate precipitation, wide daily temperature variations, warm humid summers and cold winters. The total average annual precipitation is approximately 29 inches. The average annual snowfall is approximately 50 inches, which is equivalent to roughly five inches of water. Rainfall data for the Minneapolis - St. Paul metropolitan area is shown in Table 2.

Surface Water Resources Drainage Ditches The City of Arden Hills has public ditches within the City limits. Most of the ditches in the RCWD were constlucted primarily to drain land for agricultural purposes. Ramsey County Ditch 4 drains into Little Johanna Lake and subsequently outlets into Lake Johanna. Ramsey County Ditch 4 flows from the south end of the City towards the northwest. Ramsey County Ditch 12 flows east-west through the centra] part of the City. Valentine Lake drains into Ramsey County Ditch 12. Figure 4 shows the approximate location of these ditches. For exact locations the ditches should be surveyed.

There are seven lakes which lie entirely or partially within the City limits of Arden Hills: Lake Johanna, Lake Josephine, Little Johanna Lake, Valentine Lake, Round Lake, Karth Lake and Sunfish Lake. RCWD has prioritized lakes within the district on the basis of trophic state indices, recreational facilities and lake capability. Tier 1 lakes consistently supporting swimming or have significant public uses. Tier 3 waterbodies include all DNR protected lakes, wetlands, and watercourses not included in Tiers land 2. Tier 4 includes any remaining wetlands, stormwater ba.<;ins, and conveyance systems. The following table lists the tier identification of the lakes within the City of Arden Hills, according to the Rice Creek Watershed District Water Resource Management Plan. Table 3 Lake Tier Classification Lake Tier Johanna 2 Josephine I 2 Karth 3 Little Johanna 3 Round 3 Sunfish 3 Valentine 3 The RCWD Plan does not lists any Tier I water bodies in Arden Hills. However, additional water quality data collection and analysis by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency would indicate that Josephine Lake would be considered a Tier] lake (Section 3, Water Quality Analyses). The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Protected Waters which lie within the City limits can be seen in Figure 5. The DNR Protected Water comprise watercourses such as Rice Creek, lakes and wetlands greater than 2.5 acres. The DNR has jurisdiction over these protected water bodies at and below the Ordinary High Water (OHW) level. The OHW is defined as the elevation delineating the highest water level which has been maintained for sufficiently long periods of time to leave evidence upon the landscape. Figure 6 shows the wetlands within the City of Arden Hills that are included in the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) prepared by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (1991). Areas shown on the DNR and NWI maps indicate the presence of wetlands, but show only the general location of wetlands.

It should be noted that some of these wetlands may have been created as storm water detention basins in conjunction with urban development. Arden Hills has many public waters within the City. The lakes and wetlands provide an environmental habitat for fish and wildlife within the City. These water bodies should be protected from degradation by pollution or contamination from surface water or groundwater sources. Stonn Drain System The existing drainage system for Arden Hills is shown in Figure 7. A further investigation of the thirteen proposed regional ponds that were determined in the "Comprehensive Drainage Survey Maintenance Plan and Ponding Recommendations" that was completed by BRW, Inc. in May, 1999, has been completed. See Appendix N. Water Quality Land Use The area south of Highway 96 is developed for the most part. TCAAP, in the northern portion of the City, is the only large area that will be redeveloped within the City. Arden Hills is a fairly stable community, and foresees minimal amount of development and population growth in the next 5 to 10 years. It is difficult to predict the redevelopment that will occur in the City until the land release of TCAAP. Disregarding the TCAAP area, the majority of the City of Arden Hills is residential. There are also many large corporations, various sized businesses, two private colleges, and parks and open areas in the City, Figure 8 shows existing land use, while the potentia] future land use is shown in Figure 9.

Roofs, driveway. parking lots, and other impervious surfaces increase the amount of runoff and decrease the amount of soil infiltration associated with this area. The City of Arden Hills has 15 parks within its City limits totaling approximately 350 acres. The City intends to maintain these park areas, make necessary improvements to the park system, and continue to expand the trail system to connect the neighborhoods to these parks and other trails. The parks are a vital part of the Arden Hills community. Arden Hills has a D NR -approved shore land ordinance. It is important that the shoreland of lakes be protected and developed in a manner consistent with the Minnesota DNR management standards in order to maintain or improve the quality of the water bodies within the City. Utilities Public utilities in Arden Hills include sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and the water distribution system. Sanitary sewer interceptor and treatment is provided to the City via the Metropolitan Council Environment Services (MCES) system. The City's Sanitary Sewer Utility has jurisdiction over the sanitary sewer collection system within the City's borders. There are currently 20 lift stations that exist in the City. The St. Paul Water Utility provides drinking water to Arden Hills through the City of Roseville. Once in the City, the City's Water Utility has jurisdiction over the system. There are only two areas in the City that are not served by the City water service. The first is the Old Highway 10 area (Highway 96 to Wedgewood Circle), which consists of single family homes, is served by private wells. The second is TCAAP with its own water supply facility. At this time the City does not know how to most effectively provide water service to the TCAAP area once redevelopment occurs. The entire City of Arden Hills is not served with storm sewer. According to the City's 1998 External Review Copy of the Comprehensive Plan (page 93), the City requires storm sewer to be installed with the reconstruction of streets. This policy may not always be feasible or practical, so alternate design standards may be used when appropriate. Currently, storm drainage is provided through a combination of open ditches and storm sewer.

Water appropriation permits are issued to the permittees who pump greater than 10,000 gallons per day or over one million gallons of water per year. The locations of the City's water appropriation permits can be seen ir Figure 10. Groundwater Resource Data Ramsey County published The Ramsey County Ground Water Quality Protection Plan: A Guide to Preventing Ground Water Contamination For Local Governments in 1994. The Plan identifies ground water contaminated areas and predicts areas that are potentia]]y susceptible to ground water contamination. It also contains a comprehensive topographic and geological overview describing ground water aquifers in the County. Approximately 60-70% land area within the City is identified as having a "moderate sensitivity" to ground water pollution (Ramsey County, Figure 3.06-1, page 3-21). As discussed within the above Utilities section, the St Paul Water Utility provides municipal water to the City of Arden Hills. Thus, development of a well-head protection area plan would not be necessary. Water-based Recreation Areas There are two major water-ba,ed recreation areas withir the City of Arden Hills. Ramsey County's redeveloped Tony Schmidt Regional Park is on the north side of Lake Johanna and includes a swimming beach and boat ramp, Ramsey County's Lake Josephine Park also has a swimming beach and concrete boat access off Lexington Avenue. Unique Features and Scenic Areas The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources maintains a database of unique and sensitive plant and animal species. According to the RCWD Water Resource Management Plan the Blandings Turtle (Emydoidea Blandingii), which has received a "threatened status" in the State of Minnesota, has been found within the City limits, Pollutant Sources The MPCA maintains lists of the generators of hazardous waste. above ground and underground storage tanks. and leaking underground storage tanks. The list is provided in Appendix O. City of Arden Hills.

(Dames and Moore Group Company). TCAAP property was not considered or modeled as part of this Plan. Two ponds within TCAAP, P-l and P-] 3, will be completed as part of the reconstruction of TH 96, and will not be discussed in this Plan. Figure 11 shows the approximate locations of the proposed regional ponds. They are mostly located in natural low lands or inlets to lakes. It should be noted that the City would need to further investigate the proposed regional pond locations with respect to jurisdictional wetlands and regulatory restrictions that may affect the construction of these facilities. Even though the BRW, Inc. study and this Plan evaluate the proposed construction of regional ponds, other stormwater treatment best management practices will be addressed in the feasibility study stage. Summary Discharge Data HydroCAD@ modeling was completed for the eleven proposed regional ponds. At this stage the ponds are only concepts, and therefore the modeling consisted of the drainage districts identified in the 1999 comprehensive drainage study by BRW, Inc. and the proposed concept pond. The concept pond was assumed to be rectangular in shape, with a ten-foot shelf below the normal water level, side slopes of 3: 1 everywhere else, and a depth of six feet. The 5, 10, and 100-year, 24-hour, storms were run, using antecedent moisture conditions II. The results of these models can be seen in Appendix D. The 100- year design storm was used to calculate a peak height of the pond and to determine if any potential damage or flooding could occur at the neighboring structures. Only one pond, P-l2, has the potential for flooding the low point on North Hamline Avenue and will need more detailed analysis during the feasibility study/design stage to ensure no damage to the surrounding structures will occur. In addition to the HydroCAD modeling, stormwater quality and treatment modeling was undertaken using the P8 Urban Catchment model.

The ponds were designed to meet NURP (Nationwide Urban Runoff Program) standards, which are removal of 90% of total suspended solids (TSS) and 65% of total phosphorus (TP). As with the hydrologic modeling, no upstream drainage areas were used in the water quality modeling. The ponds were modeled using only the immediate drainage areas. Therefore, it is recommended to model the entire drainage system during either a feasibility study or final design to calculate the pollutant removal efficiencies of the entire system. The results from the P-8 models can be found in Appendix D. Lakes and Ponds The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) maintain lake information databases on many lakes in Minnesota. The data i~ available on the WEB at htm: Ilwww.nca.state.mn.uslwateTllakeunalitv.html and www.dnT.statemn.us/lakefind.html. Summary water quality data is available for all the lakes in Arden Hills except SunfIsh Lake (no data) on the TCAAP property. This lake has the potential to be studied and monitored as part of the redevelopment of TCAAP. The information from the MPCA's database, as of August 2001, can be found in Appendix E. Table 4 provides summary data on the each of the lakes in Arden Hills.

The index ranges from 0 to 100, with the higher values indicating more eutrophic (over nourished) conditions in the lake. For the ecoregion Arden Hills is located in, typically a TSI value of less then 59 fully supports swimming. Swimming is partially supported between a TSI value of 60 and 65, City of Arden Hilis, Minnesota Local Stormwater Management Plan A-ARDEN0101.00 Page 26 I ;. I I I I I I II I I I I I I I , I 9.701 Josephine and Round lakes both fully support swimmable use classification, according to their TSI, although they are sensitive to increases in phosphorus nutrient loading. However, there is no access to Round Lake for swimming use, Lake Johanna only partially suppons swimmable use classification due to algae blooms and low transparency for a significant portion of the summer. Karth, Little Lake Johanna and Valentine lakes do not support swimmable use classification due to severe and frequent algae blooms and low transparency for most of the summer. Round, Karth, Little Lake Johanna and Valentine lakes have either small surface areas or are quite shallow in average depth and therefore would not be considered likely candidates for swimmable use. However, water quality data in support or non-support of this use is important for wildlife management of these water bodies. Lake Josephine Assessment Report The MPCA along with MDNR, Ramsey County Public Works, RCWD and Josephine Lake Association issued a Lake Assessment Report for Josephine Lake in 1998. Pertinent portions from that report are as follows: (page iii) A good historical data base is available for assessing trends in water quality of Lake Josephine. These data include 22 years of Secchi data and several years of water chemistry data. Based on an analysis of 22 years ofCLMP, MPCA DNR, Met. Council, Ramsey County, and two environmental consulting firm's Secchi transparency data, Lake Josephine exhibited a significant improvement in transparency over time (R. '" 0,52; p=0.0008). Summer mean Secchi transparency measures ranged from 2.3 to 4.3 feet from ] 975-1979. In contrast, from 1981-1989 summer-mean Secchi ranged from 3.0 to JO.2 feet and from 1990-1998 summer-mean Secchi ranged from 5.2 to 12.1 feet. Summer-mean total phosphorus and ch10rophyll-a concentrations exhibited a decline over this time period as well. (page 3) Lake Josephine's watershed is relatively small at about 734 acres, excluding the lake. The vast majority (96%) of the watershed is in urban/residential lake use. This percentage, although not typical for lakes in the North Central Hardwood Forest ecoregion, is rather typical for lakes in the Twin Cities metro area. Little Lake Josephine is about 12 acres in size, much of which is covered by cattails and emergent vegetation; however, the open water portion has maximum depth of 25 feet. Originally, about 260 acres drained through Little Lake Josephine prior to entering Lake Josephine. In ] 980, a project conducted by the RCWD. in consultation with E.A Hickok Engineering, resulted in an City oj Arden Hills.

In addition to RCWD. the LSMP reflects specific objectives relating to maintenance, public education and participation, and fmance. The objectives and policies are used as a guide in the design and construction of private and public developments impacting water resources in the City. They also address the routine operations of the City. Objectives and Policies An objective is a desired end toward which water management efforts are directed. The fundamental objective of Rice Creek Watershed District Water Resource Management Plan, (1997) is "to provide for the wise, long-term management of its water and associate land resources," This section of the Arden Hills plan identifies the objectives for water resources planning and management functions. Each objective has several corresponding policies. Policies are governing principles that provide the means for achieving established objectives. RCWD's overall policy "provides an impartial, objective basis for developing effective plans and programs for water resources management" (Rice Creek Watershed District Water Resource Management Plan, 1997). Rice Creek Watershed District will share with the City authority over all water resource issues within the City of Arden Hills. Therefore the City wilJ reference the RCWD rules, objectives and policies as their own. The City wilJ make sure private developers are aware of RCWD rules while balancing the need to protect the health, safety and welfare of the community. The six objectives and 22 policies of RCWD are shown below along with the City's three objectives. OBJECTIVE A: Minimize, the greatest possible extent, the public expenditures necessary to control excessive volumes and rates of urnoff (RCWD). City of Arden Hills. Minnesota Local Water Resource Management Plan A,ARDEN01 01 ,00 Page 29 I I I I I I I -- I I I I I I I , I 9.7.01 A.I Policy: Development to the year 2000 does not require the need for measures to control runoff rate unless necessary to prevent localized flooding. A. 2 Policy: Provide for additional storage through the construction of a comprehensive retention area or by on-site ponding in the absence of a comprehensive local/regional stormwater plan. A. 3 Policy: To preserve the capacities of the present drainage system to accommodate future needs. OBJECTIVE B: Improve water quality (RCWD). B. I Policy: Treat and/or control runoff to enhance water quality to reverse the upward trends in pollutants, especially nutrient and sediment loads. B. 2 Policy: To preserve wetlands which provide natural treatment for runoff. B. 3 Policy: To promote the local adoption of Minnesota Pollution Control Agency individual wastewater treatment system regulations. B. 4 Policy: To improve the water quality monitoring system for identifying potential problems.

F.2 Policy: The RCWD maintains the right to approve plan amendments and changes in local regulations. the RCWD may withdraw local regulatory authority for just cause. OBJECTIVE G: Pollution Control and Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations (AH). G.t Policy: To implement routine maintenance measures that reduce long-tenn capital improvement costs related to the City's drainage system, while achieving water quantity and quality goals. Below are the recommended maintenance and inspection activities the City should undertake to ensure that their drainage system is performing efficiently and effectively: Stonn Sewers 1. Inspect storm sewer outfalls on an annual basis for evidence of scouring or the presence of significant deposition of silt. Scouring pro b1em areas will be noted and stabilized. In areas where silt deposition is evident, which is indicative of significant erosion upstream, an inspection of the upstream watershed will be made to identify the source of erosion. Once this erosion problem is determined suitable corrective measure will then be undertaken to correct the problem. Ponds and Wetlands ]. Visually inspect storm water retention and detention ponds every two years to determine if the pond is performing adequately. 2. Conduct a pond bottom survey every ten years to determine required "dead storage" volume. Once a pond has lost half of its dead storage volume, the accumulated sediment should be removed from the pond. 3. A pond maintenance agreement with private pond owners shall be required. This will ensure that private ponds are kept in good operating condition and that routine maintenance occurs. See Appendix M for an example agreement. City of Arden Hills. Minnesota Local Stormwater Management Plan A.ARDEN0101.00 Page 32 I ~ I I I I I I II I I I I I I I , I 9.7.01 4. Review the salt/sand application policy for its balance with public safety and environmental protection. Street Sweeping Street sweeping is most effective in removing coarse particles, sand, leaves, debris, and other similar materials. It is recommended to have a semiannual street sweeping program, with the most beneficial sweeping is accomplished early in the spring after snow melt, and in the fall after the leaves have fallen. It has not been proven that sweeping the streets more than twice a year provides a significant increase in sediment removal. So in terms of a cost/benefit ratio it does not make sense to sweep the streets more than twice a year at this time. There are two types of sweepers commonly used: vacuum sweepers and mechanical broom sweepers. Vacuum sweepers are more effective for removing fine particles, but are ineffective at cleaning wet surfaces. Mechanical broom sweepers are effective at picking up large particles and cleaning wet surfaces. They also cost less to operate than the vacuum sweepers. However, mechanical broom sweepers generally create airborne dust during their operation and are not effective in removing the fine particles. OBJECTIVE H: Public Participation, Information, and Education (AH). H.l Policy: To increase public participation and knowledge in management of the water resources. Water quality issues depend heavily on actions taken by private landowners. The purpose of public participation, information and education efforts is to: . Disseminate information regarding the Local Stormwater Management Plan's (LSWMP) content; and . Create support for the implementation of the LSWMP's goals and policies. RCWD does have a Technical and Citizen Advisory Committee that provides education and information to tbe district community. However. the City will provide its citizens with watershed education in addition to RCWD. There are some educational opportunities that the City may complete which are relatively inexpensive, yet reach out to the citizens of Arden Hills. City of Arden Hills, Minnesota Local Water Resource Management Plan A,ARDEN01 01 ,00 Page 33 I I I I I I I . I I I I I I I , I 9.7.01 The implementation may include, but i, not limited to: 1. Publicize selected issues using the City newsletter 2. Publicize issues on the City web site and create links on the site to other web sites which highlight water quality issues 3. Publicize selected issues using cable television. 4. Water billing flyers. 5. Develop a stormwater stenciling/signage program 6. Encourage the Lake Associations and other lake homeowners to participate in a lake protection plan process By using the City newsletter, the City web site, and cable television to publicize selected issues, more residents could be reached. The issues could include a variety of water resource subjects including the use of phosphorous fertilizers. information on the water quality of the lakes in the City, hest management practices (BMPs), and information of current water quality improvement projects. Web site links could include some of the same topics discusses on the web site and the City newsletter. The most beneficial approach from the City would be to coordinate the topics on the web site and the newsletter, and reference each other. Suggested links would be to the RCWD homepage, report or articles on water quality protection, MPCA Lake Assessment Site, and the MnlDNR Lakes Database which provides information on the lakes in Minnesota including data from the water quality monitoring and fishery information. The stormwater stenciling program is a volunteer program that marks storm sewer inlets with a notice indicating where the pipe outlets to. This may be done with different mediums such as paint, decals or signs. According to the Final Rep0l1-Arden Hills Water Quality Task Force- June12000, studies have shown these programs has a 60% or better attention rate by the local residents. This report can be seen in Appendix N. OBJECTIVE I: Finance (AH). Policy 11: To use a wide array of funding sources and financing approaches to support storm water management programs. Paying for water management projects has become more complex in recent years. In the past, special assessments against benefitted properties financed most of the necessary improvements. However. the financial options have broadened considerably. The question is, which methodes) best suit the needs of the City. City of Arden Hills. Minnesota Local Stormwater Management Plan A-ARDEN0101.00 Page 34 I I f I I I I I I .. I I I I I I I , I 9.7.01 The major categories of funding sources are I) Ad Valorem Taxes 2) Special Assessments 3) Development Charges [Building Permits, Land Development Fees and Land Exaction] 4) Grants. The City does have a storm water utility inplace. Following is a description and financing principles used with each of these financing mechanisms. Table 3 illustrates the advantages and disadvantages of the different financing methods. Ad Valorem Tax General taxation is the most common revenue source used to finance government services including minor maintenance measures for drainage and water quality facilities. Using property tax has the effect of spreading the cost over the entire tax base of a community. A special tax district can also be used to raise revenue. The special tax district is similar to the administrative structure under general taxation except that all or part of the community may be placed in the tax district. The principle is to better correlate improvement costs to benefitted or contributing properties. Special Assessments Municipalities are familiar with the use of special assessments to fmance special services from maintenance to construction of capital improvements. The assessments are levied against properties benefiting from the special services. The philosophy of this method is that the benefitted properties pay in relation to benefits received. The benefit is the increase in the market value of the properties. Development Charges Fees charged to new development which generate runoff can be charged to finance infrastructure needed to serve the development. This is a useful tool in communities that are rapidly developing. City of Arden Hills, Minnesota Local Water Resource Management Plan A-ARDEN0101.00 Page 35 I I I' I I I I I I ..

I I I I I I I , I 9.7.01 Grants State grants are available for surface water management and nonpoint source pollution. However, it is generally not a good financial practice to rely on grants for a service program. This source of revenue is not dependable and requires constant speculation as to its availability. Grants are useful but should only be used to supplement a planned local revenue source. Examples of some available grants include: Environmental Protection Agency (EP A): 604b - Urban Water Ouality Grant The EPA's 604b Grant Program is targeted at water quality improvements in urban areas. The grant is not a cost share program, but does require local participation. The grant is generally administered through the state. Environmental Protection Agency CEPA): Underground Injection Control Pro gram The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency's Underground Injection Control (UIC) program involves inventories of groundwater protection areas in the City to address abandoned drainage or domestic disposal wells which are potentially harmful to underground sources of drinking water. The results of the questionnaire can provide a great deal of information on the degree of risk to the City's underground sources of drinking water. The EP A has provided funding and training for volunteers to implement the UIC program at the local level. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): Environmental Education Grant The EPA's Environmental Education Grant, enacted in 1991, is targeted at cities or organizations in the amount of $25,000 or less. The Environmental Education Grant is intended to finance local education initiatives related to the nature environment. Grants are awarded on a 50/50 cost share basis. Environmental Protection Agency (EP A): Clean Lakes Grant The Federal Clean Lakes Grant is the next step in lake restoration following the State Clean Water Partnership Program. The program can include significantly more funding than the state pro gram and can be used for development and implementation of lake restoration plans. Clean Lakes funding is administered through the MPCA. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): Section 319 - Clear Water Act Funding through EP A's Section 319 program supports state programs but is potentially available for urban BMP and project implementation coordination. The grants program includes a spring application period (May to June) for the state. The program is significant in that it can fund implementation (i.e.. construction) rather than funding planning efforts or studies. Available funds may involve either full or matching funds.

The program is administered through state planning. Eligible projects are given to COE to prepare a cost estimate for preliminary design. The estimate is negotiated with the "customer". The "customer" provides 50 percent cost share in the form of cash. The COE then completes the preliminary design or study. These funds are applicable on an "as-available" basis. Wallop-Breaux Funds The program is called Wallop-Breaux, referring to the 1984 amendments to the Dingell-Johnson program and named for its primary spoIL<;ors, Senator Malcolm Wallop (R-WY) and Senator John Breaux (D-LA). Its formal name is the Aquatic Resources Trust Fund, of which part is used for sport-fishing enhancement ($215.3 million, in 1992) and part is used for boating safety in each state ($70 million, in 1992). Wallop-Breaux i<; an example of a user- pays/user-benefits program, where taxes on an activity are strictly reinvested back into the activity's maintenance. The Internal Revenue Service collects the money and gives it to the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. After taking a percentage off the top for administration, the service gives money to each state based on its relative size and the number of resident fishermen. No state receives more than 5 percent of the total, nor less than I percent of the total fund. To obtain Wallop-Breaux funds, the state sends a proposal to the U, S. Fish and Wildlife Service office in its region. The project must be "substantial in character and design," but there is no requirement that the project directly benefits sport fishermen. In 1991, 32.4 percent went to surveys and research. About half of the 6 percent the service takes pays for the staff that administers the funds. The rest of the $12 million a year in administrative money is used for various special projects. Wallop-Breaux is supposed to be new money for new fishery improvements. But some of the money is being used to replace state funding from licenses and the general treasury. The U, S, Fish and Wildlife Service views itself as simply a conduit of dollars to the states. Pittman-Robertson - Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act Funded by an excise tax on angling and hunting equipment, this program helps raise the revenue necessary to fund specific restoration projects by state fish and wildlife agencies.

I I I I I I I , I 9.7.01 Sport Fisb Restoration Act States receive federal aid monies for fisheries management, administered by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service on a 75 percent (federal) and 25 percent (state) basis. The federal share is from excise taxes and the state share is mainly from sport fishing licenses. DNR's Flood Hazard Mitigation Program Up to 50 percent cost sharing is available through the bonding program. As with PF A funds, this alternative best applies to a phased construction scenario, since the state funding is on the biennium. Metropolitan Council Water Ouality Initiative Grant Annually, Metropolitan Council sponsors the Water Quality Initiative Grant Program, Initially focused on improving the quality to the Minnesota River, the program expanded in 1996 to consider larger, regional based applications. The program includes both technical and educational grant categories. A maximum of $IOO,OOO is available, with up to three grant periods. A 25 percent match is required. Applications have been due in March. Metropolitan Livable Communities Fund The Metropolitan Livable Communities Fund is focused on projects that demonstrate alternative forms of urban design and development that promotes more efficient use of land and regional services. This funding source could be geared towards water quality restoration and/or retrofitting treatment into a redeveloping setting. An example is the Phalen Village in St. Paul, where the Restoration of Ames Lake near a mostly vacant shopping center, was funded in 1996. RCWD Cost-Sharing for Municipal Retrofit Stormwater Ouality BMPs The purpose of this program is to encourage municipalities to incorporate water quality management practices in redevelopment, roadway, and storm sewer improvement projects. The amount of the cost share by RCWD is 75% of estimated project cost, or bid cost (whichever is lower), not to exceed $50,000. MPCA Low Interest Loans Typically used for wastewater treatment and collection systems, MPCA's State Revolving Loan Fund dollars can be used in watershed or nonpoint source control. PFA administers the State Revolving Loan Program for MPCA. MPCA recently adopted rules to facilitate application of this program. (Skwira, 1996). PF A typically waives the interest payment in the first two years of the 20-year loan period and the interest rate is generally below the bonding rate. There is no dollar limit or competition for these funds. City of Arden Hills. Minnesota Local Water Resource Management Plan A,ARDEN0101.00 Page 39 I i- I I I I I I ..

Rather, it is a suggested course of action that will accomplish the major goal of this plan, to accommodate growth in the community while protecting the environment. The Capital Improvement Plan was developed based on RCWD's Tier classifications for the lakes in Arden Hills. The scheduling of these projects should be coordinated with the City's Pavement Management Program (PMP). The cost estimate for the construction of the proposed ponds does not include land acquisition or easement acquisition. The cost also does not take into account if a feasible study will be completed. The cost does include the larger construction items such as excavation and restoration, arid engineering and administrative costs. The final project cost may change based on the determination of scope of work. Table 8 includes annual operating and maintenance costs, which are separate from capital expenditures.

CostlBenefit for Pollutant Removal Storm water best management practices (BMPs) as described in the LSWMP are the primary tool to improve the quality of urban streams and meet future NPDES Phase II requirements. The BMPs include both structural and non- structural alternatives. The LSWMP suggests the construction of detention ponds as the BMP for future urban storm water pollution controL City of Arden Hills.

I I I I I I I , I 9,7.01 The term structural BMP refers to a physical facility designed and constructed to remove pollutants from storm water runoff, potentially reduce downstream erosion, provide flood control, and promote ground water recharge. Typical structural BMPs include: . Detention basins . Retention basins . Constructed wetlands . Infiltration practices . Filters . Biofilters (swales and filter strips) . Precast or cast-in-place treatment devices. The typical capital costs for BMPs were evaluated based upon a recent U.S. Environmental Protection Agency document entitled: Preliminary Data Summary of Urban Storm Water Best Management Practices, (Office of Water, Washington, D.C. August, 1999. EPA-82l-R-99-012). Table 9 has been adapted from the USEPA document (Table 6-1, page 6-3) to show typical capital construction costs. Table 9 Annual Operating Costs BM?

I I I I I I I {' I 9.7,01 The importance of Table 10 relates to both the total capital cost comparison and unit cost (per cubic foot of storage). The SEH estimate is very close to the USEPA estimate (2.8%) for the same BMP. In addition, the unit cost is on the low end of the reported literature. The economic benefit cost is difficult to quantify from "balance sheet" perspective for this BMP. The ideal approach would specify a chain of events: pollutant loading reductions from construction of the ponds; the physical-chemical properties of the receiving streams and consequent linkages to biologic/ecologic responses in the aquatic environment; and human responses and values associated with these changes. The necessary data does not exist to conduct such analysis. Instead, the benefits can be outlined in terms of: l. Effectiveness of reducing pollutant loads; 2. Direct water quality impacts; and 3. Economic benefits or costs. The primary function of the proposed detention ponds is to reduce pollutants. They are very effective at removing total suspended solids (often 90%+ efficiency), total phosphorus (up to 60% removal) and other associated pollutants (heavy metals and hydrocarbons. Thus, their track record and performance has been documented in various studies, but must be constructed properly and maintained. Water quality impacts reduction was detailed in the Lake Josephine project previously discussed in the Plan. Direct water quality improvement was achieved through the use of an existing wetland/pond to treat the incoming storm water. The economic benefit or cost for the Lake Josephine project has not been evaluated, although methods exist for such an analysis. A positive benefit has been achieved versus a "no built" approach that could have been taken. Loss of recreational usage (swimming, boating, and aesthetics) would likely have continued to decrease in Lake Josephine in the absence of this project. Amendment Procedures The Arden Hills Local Stormwater Management Plan is intended to extend through the year 2011. For the plan to remain dynamic, an avenue must be available to implement new information, ideas, methods, standards and management practices. Persons either residing or having business within the City shall be able to request amendment proposals at any time. City of Arden Hilis, Minnesota Local Water Resource Management Plan A-ARDEN0101.00 Page 47 I I I I I I I II I I I I I I I f' I 9.7.01 Request for Amendments Written requests for plan amendment are submitted to the City staff. The request shalJ outline the need for the amendment as well as additional materials that the City will need to consider before making its decisioIL Staff Review A decision is made to the validity of the request. Three options exist; 1. reject the amendment 2. accept the amendment as a minor issue, with minor issues collectively added to the plan at a later date 3. accept the amendment as a major issue, with major issues requiring an immediate amendment. In acting on an amendment request, staff shall recommend to City council whether or not a public hearing is warranted. Council Consideration The amendment and the need for a public hearing shall be considered at a regular or special Council meeting. Staff recommendations should also be considered before decisions on appropriate action(s) are made. Public Hearing, Council, and RCWD Approval This step allows the public input based on the public sentiment. Council shall determine when the public hearing should occur in the process. Based on the Public hearing, Council could approve the amendment, and, if necessary, refer the amendments to the Watershed District Board for comment and approval. Council Adoption Final action on an amendment following approval by the RCWD is Council adoption. However, prior to the adoption, an additional public hearing could be held to review the plan changes and to notify the appropriate stakeholders. Annual Report to Council A brief annual report should be made by City staff summarizing development changes, capital improvements and other water management-related issues that have occurred over the past year. The review should also include an update on available funding sources for water resource issues. Grant programs are especially important to review since they may change annually. These changes do not necessarily require individual amendments. The reports can, however, be considered when the plan is brought up to date. The report should be completed by June 1st of each year to allow implementation items to be considered in the normal budget process. Copies of the report should be filed with the RCWD. The annual update can also serve as an important public information tool. A summary could be published in the City's newsletter. City of Arden Hills.

I I I I I I I , I Appendix A: Regulatory Responsibilities Administrative Responsibilities Several entities will have administrative responsibilities within the planning area. For a local water management effort to be successful, each entity's commitment and role must be clearly understood. Those currently having some level of administration responsibility include the City, WMOs, Ramsey County, MnDNR, MPCA, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and BWSR. City of Arden Hills The City of Arden Hills is responsible for issuing building permits for all land alteration thereby enforcing the policies and standards of this plan. The City is responsible for inspecting the construction sites within its boundaries which may impact water quantity and quality. The City is also responsible for the maintenance and repair of ditches within their own boundaries. The City's administrative responsibilities include, but are not limited to the following: . Comprehensive plan update(s); · Land use regulation; · Ordinance review and amendment; . Local plat review and amendments; · Building permits; . Sediment and erosion control (subdivision ordinance); · Groundwater - weHs; · Participation and cooperation with the programs of the WMOs, DNR and Ramsey County; · Hydrologic model update with comprehensive plan changes. . Financing Alternatives; · Capital improvements; · Conveyance system/pond maintenance; Watershed Management Organizations (WMOs) Responsibilities of the Rice Creek Watershed District include: . Monitoring; · Local plan review and approval; . Projects of regional significance; and · Verification oflocal plan implementation. . Wetland Management as LGU . Inter-City concerns Metropolitan Council: Comprehensive Plan Amendment Metropolitan Council has a regional review authority regarding surface water management including: . Local Plan Review; . Regional controls related to nonpoint source pollution; and This plan and all subsequent amendments will become part of the City's Comprehensive Plan (adopted by reference), in accordance with Environmental Review 21040, 1995 revisions to Minnesota Statutes 103B.235, Subd. 3A and 473.859, Subd. 2 (Chapter 176, Laws of Minnesota 1995), as part of the adoption process for this plan. Metropolitan Councils' review of this plan is concurrent with the watershed review. Comments are forwarded to the WMOs. According to Metropolitan Council staff, the plan does not have to be re- submitted as a formal comprehensive plan amendment, subject to additional review, at a latter date. The adopted City plan will meet Metropolitan Council's requirements and will be thereby recognized as a comprehensive plan amendment. Federal and state agencies Federal and state agencies will continue to have certain administrative responsibilities. These responsibilities include, but are not limited to: . Wetland alteration: - Department of National Resources for all issues relating to state protected waters and wetland; and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. EPA, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife for all issues related to all wetland are not under the jurisdiction of the DNR. . Ground Water Issues; . Individual sewage treatment systems; and · Hazardous waste/spill response. Local Ordinances The City has most of the necessary official controls to implement this plan today. The following text includes a discussion of local controls as required by Rice Creek Watershed District and other agencies. Shoreland Management There is a DNR approved shoreland ordinance in-place at this time. Floodvlain Management The City of Arden Hills currently does participate in the National Flood Insurance Program. A minimum requirement for elevations of new structures is currently included in an existing City ordinance, Chapter 13 of the City's codes. In areas not regulated by floodplain management control, the lowest floor elevation shall he determined by an elevation of available t100d information or placing the lowest floor at a level at least three feet above the highest known water level. Groundwater (Wellhead) Protection The groundwater protection ordinance would establish overlay districts for wellhead protection areas and any areas of spring activity or groundwater/surface water interaction. It would also address permitted uses in the various protection zones and could be further developed to address abandonment of wells. Wetland Protection I ~ I I I I I I II I I I I I I I .. I I I I I I I I II I I I I I I I I' I Wetland protection is provided by the wetland conservation act which is managed by the watershed management organizations. Erosion Control Arden Hills has adopted an erosion and sediment control ordinance. The regulation establishes standards and specifications for conservation practices and planning activities which minimize soil erosion and sedimentation.

As with other infiltration systems, trenches are not intended to trap coarse sediments. Grass buffers (for surface trenches) or special inlets (for underground trenches) MUSt be installed to capture sediment before it enters the trench. Depending on the degree of storage/exfiltration achieved, trenches can provide groundwater recharge, low flow augmentation and localized streambank erosion control. Individual trenches are primarily an on-site control, and are seldom practical or economical on sites larger than 5 or 10 acres. Trenches are only feasible when soils are permeable and the water table and bedrock are situated well below the bottom of the trench. Aside from regular inspections and more rigorous sediment and erosion control, trenches have limited routine maintenance requirements. However) trenches will prematurely clog if sediment is not kept out before, during and after construction of a site.' If a trench does become severely clogged, partial or complete replacement of the structure may be required.

This design is frequently used for highway median strips and parking lot "islands't (depressions in between two lots or adjacent sides of one lot). Sheet flow is accepted from both sides of the trench~ and is filtered through a 20 foot wide grassed buffer strip. The strip is an integral part of the trench, and should be graded to have a uniform slope not greater than 5%, and should directly abut the contributing impervious area. Berms located on each side of the strip form a shallow depression that temporarily stores runoff before it enters the trench. An overflow pipe is used to pass excess runoff.

This design accepts sheet flow from the lower end of a parking lot. Slotted curb spacers are used as level spreaders 'to route sheet flow from the parking lot over the 20 foot wide filter strip (and also keep cars from damaging the strip). After being filtered over the grass strip. runoff enters the surface of the trench. A shallow berm is installed at the far end of the trench to ensure that runoff does not escape. The trench should have an overflow to pass large design storms, such as a PVC pipe. with holes drilled on its underside, set near the top of the trench (Figure 5.3).

OtherwiseJ concentrated flows will develop that might erode the swales and contaminate the trench. In addition. concentrated flows may pass around or over the surface of the trench and never infiltrate. An earthen check dam or railroad tie placed perpendicularly to the flow path, on the downstream side of the trench ~ can prevent Ifshort-circuitingll and increase the volume of runoff exfiltrated by the trench. The slope of the trench should be as close to zero as feasible, and should have sides lopes of 5:1 (h:v) or less.

Coarse-grained pollutants should generally be removed before they enter a basin. Unlike other infiltration systems, basins can be easily adapted t,o provide full control of peak discharges for large design storms. Also, basins can serve relatively large drainage areas (up to 50 acres). Depending on the degree of storage/exfiltration achieved in the basin. significant groundwater recharge, low flow augmentation and localized streambank erosion control can be achieved.

I " I ,-- Perforated Underdrain Dense Grass Cover I 6.12 Chapter 6: Infiltration Basins ~ Depth to'Seasonally High Water Table A minimum of two to four feet of clearance is needed between the floor of the basin and the seasonally high water table. This depth can be nadily determined from soil borings taken during wet weather. High water tables often present a majox;. obstacle to the use of infiltration basins, since basins are usually locat.ed in depressions at the low end of a watershed where local water tables are located near the the ground surface. I I Proximity to Wells and Foundations I Basins should be located at least 100 feet away from drinking water wells to minimize the possibility of groundwater contamination, and should be situated at least 10 feet down-gradient and 100 feet up-gradient from building foundations to avoid potential seepage problems. I Maximum Depth of Reservoir To insure that the basin completely drains within 72 hours, it may be necessary to limit the depth of the basin if underlying soils have relatively low exfiltration rates. Recommended depth limits for basins are shown for various soil textures in Table 6.2. . I Watershed Size I Md WRA (1983b) suggests that basins can be applied to sites ranging from 5 . to 50 acres in size. Other BMPs t such as extended detention ponds and wet ponds, are better candidates on larger sites as they are more capable of handling sustained basefloW'.

It is important to the City to have consistent analysis and data collection. Therefore, all hydrologic, hydraulic and water quality analysis should be prepared in a common format. Data shall be submitted in a consistent format consistent with Rice Creek Watershed District guidelines that will allow for a timely review by City staff. Key Points When preparing your engineering calculations, please remember these key points: . A pre-design meeting with the City and the appropriate WMO is encouraged before ANY data will be accepted. The purpose of the meeting is to specifically address approvals and permits, pond requirements, trunk storm drain analysis, wetland impacts, water quality treatment, erosion control and discharge to lakes and sensitive wetland resources. . Rate control is not required IF downstream systems (ponds and storm drains) can be shown to adequately detain/retain the runoff. . Regional sedimentation ponds may be used for some developments.

Status of the Fishery (as of 06/30/97) Panfish dominated the net catches in 1997, with bluegill the most abundant and black crappie a close second. One third of the bluegill were over 6 inches in length while all crappie were under 8 inches in length. Yellow perch were also abundant, with none over 8 inches. A small number of pumpkinseed, hybrid, and green sunfish were sampled, all small in size. Largemouth bass numhers appear to be good, with a variety of sizes of fish present. Northern pike numbers were fair, with a number of large individuals, the largest over 16 pounds. Walleye were average in number, with nearly half over 20 inches in leng1h. Several tiger muskellunge from the 1996 fall stocking were sampled, as well as one measuring 35.2 inches from the 1993 stocking. Black and yellow bullhead numbers were low, with large individuals present. Carp numbers were average. Several white sucker, dogfish, and golden shiner were sampled.

I I I I I I I f' I INTERI1Vl STRATEGY TO REDUCE NONPOINT SOURCE POLLUTION . TO ALL METROPOLITAN WATER BODIES . Nov: 1, i992 Jock Frost Steven' Schwanke Metropolitan Council Mears P~rk Ccnlre, 230 E. Fifth St., St. Paul, MN 55101 Publication l'!o. 640-92-117 WATER QUALITY IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY SURFACE WATER !YiANAGEMENT NONPOLNT SOURCE POLLUTION TO ALL METROPOLITAN WATERS SUnlmary of The Poticy Issue In 1990 lhe U.S. Environmcnlal Protection Agency (EPA) and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) agreed on a goal to rcduce non point source pollution in the Minnesota River by 40 percent [rom pre-1980 level.>. The lwo agencies have set 1996 as the lurget date to uchieve this goal. To accomplish this gaol, current land development ~nd agricultural practices must be altered to restrict nonpoint source pollutants from entering ~re~ water Ixldies. While the Minnesota River may be ~n acute case o[wntcr quality dcgradation due to nonpoint source pollution all woter bo<.Iies in the seven county area are impacted to some degree by human activities in Ixlth urban and rural areas. The Mississippi 'River, "especially in the Spring Lake and Lake Pepill area, is severally impacted by excessive algal growth. A major inter-stale and federal study is currently being conducted to identify the causes of the excessive algal growth. However, it is known that nutnenl<, nitrogen and phosphofm, from whatever Sourc~ are the prime cau~e of exces.sive algal growth. Both the State of Wisconsin and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency are attempting to get the MPCA to impose phosphorus limits On the Metropolitan Plant in St:, Paul as a means to reduce the algal growth. If phosphorus limits ~re imposed on the Metropolitan Plant this could result in c~pit<ll expenditures of $80 to 360 million. Sincc phosphorus is found in surface water runoff it may be more cost effective to control nonpoint SOurceS' of runoff and have ~ more bene[icial impact On the river than by controlling point sources of phosphorus. To address the acute problems on the Minnesota River, the Council developed an interim strategy for' communities in the Minnesota River basin. This strategy incorporated basic water quality management practice.; that will improve the water quality of the area water bodies. During the public participation process in developing these strategies, it became clear that these same i"nterim ~tra[egics were appropriate for all local governments in the seven county area. A consistent and equitab"Ie policy is established to apply these strategies metro-wide. The Problem The. Metropolitan Council has documented an increase of nonpoint .~ource pollution to arca water bodies. These added pollutants reduce the recrealional valuc and acceleratc the eutrophication of area water bodies. The increase of non point source pollutants to area water bodies can be traced to twO primary sources: land development and agriculture practices.. ,und development or urbaniutioa, generally increases both the volume of runoff as well as the eoncentration of pollutants in the runoIT. This happens with the conversion of land to hard surfaces and by the destruction of wetlands. DClcfltioo ponds or artificial depressions can help mitigate these impacts. The best designed ponds, however, will not rcduce the increased volume of runoff fol1owing urbanization oor will they totally remove the additional pollutants following urbanization. An incre:>sc in runoff volume, lotal phosphorus and other pollutafl!s are thc results of urban development. I ~ I I I I I I II I I I I I I I .. I I r I I I I I I .. I I I I I I I f' I Agriculture l~ still the predominant land use in ~ large portion of the seven county area and a major contributor of nonpoint source pollutants. Nonpoirt source pollution from agriculture OCCUrs as a result of intensive land cultivation and husbandry pr;1cticcs and ,hows up in three basic forms: soil erosion; agrIculture supplements such llS nutrients, pesticides and herbicide,; and animal waste products. Each of th~e source; fill are~ water bodies smothering aquatic life, changc the aquatic environment by limiting light penetration of the water, and result in "the transmission of torins to area water bodies. The T",in Cities Metropolitan Area is fortunate to have an abundance of Jokes and 'rive~. Thc,c wate: bodies provide the area with recreational, aesthetic and educationsl benefits envied by other parts of the United States. Preservation of these water bodies ~nd the associated wildlife habitat is a major component of the Council's planning framework. Measures to preserve and enhance lhc environment CRn be found in all of the. Council's major system and pOlicy plans. Policy 7 of lhe MDIF states that the Metropolitan Council: supports the"maintenance or environmental quality throughout the region and will support programs or strategies to mainlain or improve the natural environment (page 16). Reducing nonpoinl sourCe pollution to area water bodies has a number of positive outcomes. Reduced nonpoint .<aurce pollution has an overall positive effect on the environment, improves the watcr quality in lakes, wetlands and floodplains and allows [or fishable and swimable water bodies. Water resource management has historically focused on point sources such 3--\ wastewater treatment plants and industrial facilities. Efforts to reduce poHution from point sources bas been effective. Nonpoint SOl.lr~ pollution abatement is the next chaHenge that must be addresscd to ensure that water bodies in this metropolitan area are protected. Existing Uglslutlvc Gild Polley Structure For Addressing the Nonpolnt Source Pollution Problem The Minnesota Legislature Two pieces of legislation have been passed in the Iasl decade that set a framework for addressing the nonpoinl source pollution issue. However, it will take several years to put this framework in place and will requirc local governments to extensively revise their surface water m~nagement plans and activities. Water;hed planning legislation In 1982 legislation Wa.< passed requiring Watershed Management Organizations (WMO) to preparc watershed plans that nddre.<.,ed watcr quality issues. Under this legislation each W1'v{O is to prepare a plan that st3les objectives and policies for water quality and identifies alternatives for improving water quality and mcthods of implementation. The.>e plans are to be reviewed by the Metropolitan Council "in the same manner ond with the same authority and effcct as providcd for the council's review of the comprehensive plans of lueal governmcnt unit," (Minnesota Statutes, section 103B.n 1 subd. 8 (l9<'ftJ)). The Council is required to determine wheth~r the water.;h~d plan conforms with the m"nng~"'~nt objectives and t~rg~t pollution loads stotcd in thc Council's watcr resourccs plan prepared pursuant to Minnesota Statutcs, section ~73.157. Loctl government planning As a part of Ihe \VJylO planning proc,,-~s described under Minnesota Stalutes. section I03B.201, e~eh local government will be required 10 prepare a local wote.r management plan, eapilol improvcmcnt program and omcin"1 controls necc;.,;ary to implement the w~tershed plan. A5part of the local watcr management plan, the local government will need to define water quantity ~nd quality proteotion methods adequate to mee.t performance stnndards C$t:lblishcd in the watershcdi)lan. Lucal government.< will also bc required 10 amend their local comprehensive plans to reflect the COntents of the w,uershed plan. Local govemmen:.s will have two years 10 amend their comprehcn",jve plans from the time Ihe WMO planning process is complete. Under rules currcntly proposed by the Board af Water and Soil Resources (BWSR), W1v[Os have untill995 to complete lheir plans. The earliest local governments are required to revise their comprehen.-;ive plans is 1997. It could take several year>; beyond 1997 10 implement local government plans. The second pkce oflegislarion is Minnclo(a Statutes, section 473.157, that requires the Metropolitan" Council to prepare a water resources plan Ihat includes management objective., and target pollution loads for wutersheds in the metropolil<1n area. From this plan WMOs will advise local govcmments of their larget pollution loads. Local governmenll will revise their stormwater management plans to include implementation steps that assure the target pollution loads arc met. The Metropolitan Council has set as a priority developing the target pollution load, for watersheds tribut.:try to the Minnesota River. 11,;, is a priority because of the urgency 10 meeltne fPAlMPCA reduction goal of ~O percent by 1996. T3rgetpollution loads for Bcvens, Carver, Chaska and Sand Creek watersheds wii! be de~eloped hy 1992. Pollution loads for other watersheds in the Minnesota River Basin will be developed by mid-I993. The Council will also be actively pursuing the development of target pollution loads for all watersheds in the Twin Cities Melropolitan Area. The Minne,ota POllution Control Agency In accordance with the Clenn Water Act, Section 319, the MPCA is"charged wilh developing a statc- wide stralegy for addressing nonpoint pollution. This plan is ~ four year plan developed ;n 1990 ~nd is periodic.ally updated as ncw information becomes nvailable. TIlis strategy both largels and prioritizcs problem 2reas and develops a management plan for addressing these problcm areas. The mnnagement plan looks at both a voluntary and a regulatory approach to ~ddr=ing problems. The stute plan i.s also required to develop various approachcs to funding problem solutions from federal state and local sources. The Board of Water and Soil Resources The Board of Water and Soil Resources is the primary slalc agency responsible Cor s~rface water planning ~nd is the lend ngcncy responsible for carrying out rn<lny of the administrative aspects of the recently passed Welland Conscrvation Act of 1991, better known as the "no-net loss" Iegislalion. 111e acl provides landowners with thrce options for preserving or enhoncing wctlands: the wetland preservation areas optien; thc permancnt wetland prcserves option; and the wctland cstablishrncnt and re.,;loralion program.

Because of these functions, wetlands are critical for reducing nonpoint source pollution to area lakes and rivers. The Metropolitan Council In September, 198.8 the Metropolitan Council adopled its Water Resources ;\-!anngeme"I WaSlelVnter Trcatmel:J and Handling Policy Plan (hereafter the policy plan). Local governments wcre notiJled of the policy plan conten~ in the April, 1989 systerm .Hatement and pursuJO( to thc I\fctropolilan Land Planning Act, hud nine months to nmend thcir comprehcnsive plans. The need to reduce nonpoinl saurce pollution, 10 especially the Minnesota River B:L\in, through regulating land development is well documented in the Council's policy plan. :However, because of the polenliallhat nonpoint pollution may impacl MWCC wastewater treatmenl p!:Jnts effluent limits in the future the Council adopled Policy 1.1 of the Council's Wastewater Trearment dnd Handling Policy Plan which states: [T]treatmcnt levels required for" wa.1tcwater trentmcnt plants in the metropolitan system shculd clearly recognize the need to control both point and nonpoinl sources of pollution from within and ouL~ide Ihe Metropolitan Area (I'. 9). The Coullcil hilS actively pursued the implementation of ils policy 10 reduce nonpoint source pollution to area water bodie.~. The Council's policy plan outlines the responsibilities for implementing policy 1-1. These include, but are nOllimited 10: I. working with wate.rshed management organizations (WMOs) and the MPCA on monitoring and manJging nonpoint source pollution programs; and, 2. evaluating the efforts of W1vfOs and local governments to control cionpoint source pollution and their impact on river waler quality and effects on treatment plant diluent Iimill. (p. 10) The Council h:L\ also lIsed its authority under the MetropoHtan wnd Planning Act of 1976 to review and comment on comprehensive plan amendments and environmental reviews 10 implement its policy on reducing nonpoint source pollution, These comments have generaily focused on the need to reduce nonpcint SOurce pollution and the possible lools that may be used 10 accomplish this task. In addition to policy )-1 of the Council's Waler Resources Managemenl Plan, Parr 1, lhc Council h;l.S two other poljcie.< addressing Ihe environmental effects of non point source polluticin and water qualify. The Council's Waler Resources Managemenr.Plan, Part] states in policy 3-4 thai: The Council,!hrough ilS numerous review and approval aut horities, \vill preserve all protected and unprotected Datural wutercourses .- including associated wetlands, channels, floodplains and shorelanQ\ -- to enhance wuter quantity ~nd quality and to preserve their ecological functioru (pag~ 3-26); Policy 3-6 of the ~amc policy plan statcs: 111c Council. in conducting its proj"ct approvals and reviews, will protccl tn" utility of the regiOll's water and rclatcd land re~Ources and seek their rC$toralion. where ne"ded. Any "ction tltat threatens the viability of tlte water and related resource will be negatively reviewed (page 3-30). Pl"Opasod Interim Slrnt<g}' An i:ltaim strategy i~ needed to address both the nonpoinl source pollution issue and to implement the Council's policy 1-1 of the Wastewater Trear;nelll and Handling Policy Plan, Part 1, policies 3-4 nnd 3-6 of the Council's Waler Resollrces Management Plnn, Parr 3. The Council is committd to worldng '""jth WMOs and local governments through the planning process Outlined in Minnesota Stlllutes, salion 103B.201. The Council also recognize.> its responsibility to prepare and adopt a water resources plan that includ"" m~nogcment objectives and larget pollulion loads for watersheds in the metropolitan uea pursuant 10 Minnesot~ Statutes, section 473.157. In order to prepare the plan the Council had to prioritize its work schedule. Since thc Minnesota RIver has been identifjed as h~ving an acute problem with non point source pollution this ~rea will be .addre.sscd first and form the framework for dealing wilh nonpoint source pollotion on a metropolitan wide basis. . It \l.illlake several years for the Council, WMOs and local government.s to prepare and implement tJle above refercnccd plans. In the interim, Sleps should be tnken that ailows local governmcnLs and WMOs to take immediate action to reduce the adverse impact.' of nonpoinl source pollution on area water bodies. As p3rt of their planning efforts, local governments will necd to adopt measure.s that implement nonpoin! source. pollution reduction strategies. Local government.s will need to amend existing Capital Improvemcnt Plans and local regulations to cn.sure the financing ~nd long-term manngcment and maintcnance of ponds and wetlands receiving s[ormwater runoff. The MetropolitJn Council recognizes that implementnlion is an importJnt issue for local government and for the long- term effectiveness of any effol1 to reduce nonpoint source pollution. This interim strategy is a minimum th~t the Council ,viII accept as part of any locnI government compreheflSive plan. It should be' recognized by local governments that more comprehensive revisions to Slormwater plans may be required once the Council and WMOs complete their planning under Minnesota Statutes, 'ection 103B.201 and 473.157 in order to meet water quality gouls. 1. Local governments throughout [he metropo!i(3n ~re.a must adopt design standards for new stormwarer ponds that will reduce the contaminant loadings from surface water nloofL One set of design criteri~ that is widely acccpted is rrom the National Urban Runoff Program (NURP). Appendix A is attached and describes NURP designed pond performance standards. These criteria, or similar specificatiom which arc equally effective, should he inccrporated in the 'tormwat~r plan of every local goverament in [he metropolitan area. At the prcscrlt timc, this policy does not dircct the retrofitting of cxisting stormwater ponds. 2. L')cal governmtnls in the metropolitan arca n1tlSt also include in their s(ormWJ(cr plans the MPCA'-, IJrburl "best management practice:;: titled !'rolcerillg Waler Qllality in Urban Areas or an equivalcnt Set of stand~rds.

These local government< millt also notify thcir rc,idenL\ of way:; to implement "bcst management Jlracticc.~" and available re.sources, if additionnl information i.' needed. 3. AJI local governmcnLS in the metropolitan area must adopt the Depaflment of Natural Resourc<~ <horeland regulations a< found in the Statewide Stalldards For,\j<1!1agcmelll Of Shore/and Areas as prescribed by the timeline in (MinnesotJ Regulations Pam 6120.2500.6120.3900) and consistent with the DNR'$ implementation strategy. Local government~ should work with the DNR to determine the mOst effective way 10 implement the DNR', shorelancl regulations. 4. AJI local governmenL~ in the metropolitan area mIL,t. adopt a5 part of their comprehensive plans Rnd official controls the measures described in item.' 1 and :2 by Janu~ry 1, 1993. Each local government should notify the affected Watershed Management Org3nizations of it.'! intentiuns to comply with items 1 and 2. 5. After January 1, 1993, the Council m~y require modification of plan amendments that involve land use activities that wouid generate surface water runoff, unless the local government has adopted the interim measures described in items 1 through 3. The Council will not require a plan modification regarding non point source pollution if a local government has adopted NURP stnndnrds and MPCA's "best management pmcticcs" by January 1, 1993 and is fulluwing the DNR's shorc:land regulation implementation strategy. 6. The Metropolitan Council will continue to develop target pollution loads for all watersheds in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area.

The District is also a watershed management organization as defined under the Minnesota Metropolitan Surface Water Management Act, and is subject to the directives and authorizations in that Act. Under the Watershed, Law and the Metropolitan Surface Water Management Act, the District exercises a series of powers to accomplish its statutory purposes. The District's general statutory purpose is to conserve natural resources through development planning, flood control, and other conservation projects, based upon sound scientific principles. As required under the Metropolitan Surface Water Management Act, the District has adopted a Watershed Management Plan, which contains the framework and guiding principles for the District in carrying out its statutory purposes. It is the District's intent to implement the Plan's principles and objectives in these rules. Land alteration affects the rate, volume, and quality of surface water runoff which ultimately must be accommodated by the existing surface water systems within the District. The watershed is large, 201 square miles, and its outlet, Rice Creek, has limited capacity to carry flows. Flooding problems already occur in the District's urbanized areas along lower Rice Creek and other localized areas. Land alteration and utilization also can degrade the quality of runoff entering the streams and waterbodies of the District due to non-point source pollution. Lake and stream sedimentation from ongoing erosion processes and construction activities reduces the hydraulic capacity of waterbodies and degrades water quality. Water quality problems already exist in many of the lakes and streams throughout the District. Projects which increase the rate or volume of stormwater runoff can aggravate existing flooding problems and contribute to new ones. Projects which degrade runoff quality can aggravate existing water quality problems and contribute to new ones. Projects which fill floodplain or wetland areas can aggravate existing flooding by reducing flood storage and hydraulic capacity of waterbodies, and can degrade water quality by eliminating the filtering capacity of those areas. In these rules the District seeks to protect the public health and welfare and the natural resources of the District by providing reasonable regulation of the modification or alteration of the District's lands and waters to reduce the severity and frequency of flooding and high water, to preserve floodplain and wetland storage capacity, to improve the chemical, physical and biological quality of surface water, to reduce sedimentation, to preserve 1 I ,I , I - I I I I II I I I I I I I .. I I ~ I I I I I I II I I I I I I I f' I waterbodies' hydraulic and navigational capacity, to preserve natural wetland and shoreland features, and to minimize public expenditures to avoid or correct these problems in the future. 2 RELATIONSHIP OF RICE CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT TO MUNICIPALITIES The District recognizes that the primary control and determination of appropriate land uses is the responsibility of the municipalities. Accordingly, the District will coordinate permit application reviews involving land development with the municipality where the land is located. The District intends to be active in the regulatory process to ensure that its water resources are managed in accordance with District goals and policies. Municipalities have the option of assuming a more active role in the permitting process after adoption of a local water management plan approved by the District and adoption and implementation of local ordinances consistent with the approved plan. The District will also review projects sponsored or undertaken by municipalities and other governmental units, and generally will requlre permits of the contractor for governmental projects impacting water resources of the District. These projects include but are not limited to, land development and redevelopment, road, trail, and utility construction. . The District desires to serve as technical advisor to the municipalities in their preparation of local surface water management plans and the review of individual development proposals prior to investment of significant public or private funds. To promote a coordinated review process between the District and the municipalities, the District encourages the municipalities or townships to contact the District early in the planning process. 3 I' I " , I I I I I I II I I I I I I I ..

OTHER PERMITS AND APPROVALS. It is the permit applicant's responsibility to secure all permits and approvals that are required by other governmental authorities, and provide the District proof that applicant has submitted these permit applications. 10 RULE C STORM-WATER MANAGEMENT PLANS 1. POLICY. It is the policy of the Board of Managers to: (a) Manage stormwater and snowmelt runoff on a regional or subwatershed basis and promote natural infiltration of runoff throughout the District to: (1) Provide effective water quality treatment and where possible provide such treatment prior to discharge to surface waterbodies and wetlands. (2) Ensure that future peak rates of runoff are less than or equal to existing rates. (3) Maximize infiltration and control run-off volume increase. (b) Require stormwater facilities to be constructed on individual sites where regional facilities are not available. 2. REGULATION. A permit and stormwater management plan is required under this rule for new development, redevelopment, or additions to an existing site. 3. DESIGN CRITERIA FOR STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLANS. Stormwater management plans must comply with the following criteria: (a) A hydrograph method based on sound hydrologic theory must be used to analyze stormwater runoff for the design or analysis of flows and water levels within and off the project site. (b) Stormwater runoff rates for the proposed project must not exceed pre-project runoff rates for the critical one-year or two-year and lOO-year frequency events. (c) Regional detention basins will be utilized to manage peak flow rates and meet water quality objectives where possible. On-site detention basins will be utilized when regional basins are not in place or are not feasible. (d) Analysis of flood levels, storage volumes, and flow rates for waterbodies and detention basins must be based on the range of rainfall and snow melt durations which produces the critical (highest) flood levels and discharges. (e) Detention basins must be designed to provide: 11 . . I ~ I I I I I I II I I I I I I I .. I I ~ I I I I I I II I I I I I I I , I (1) An outlet structure to control the one-year or two-year and lOO-year frequency events to pre-project peak runoff rates. (2) An identified overflow spillway sufficiently stabilized to convey flows greater than the lOO-year critical storm event. (3) Access for future maintenance. (f) Permanent sedimentation and water quality ponds are required and must be designed to provide: (1) I( (2) (3) (4) Water quality features consistent with NURP criteria and District wet pond criteria (see appendix) . A permanent wet pool with dead storage of at least equal to the runoff from a 2.5 rainfall over the area tributary to the pond. An outlet structure capable of preventing migration of floating debris and oils for at least the one-year storm. Access for future maintenance. (g) The proposed project must not adversely affect water levels off the site during or after construction. (h) Stormwater Management Plans under this rule must conform with approved Municipal Stormwater Management Plans. (i) Outfall structures within wetlands and public waters and public waters wetlands must incorporate a stilling- basin, surge-basin, energy dissipater, placement of ungrouted natural rock riprap or other devices to minimize disturbance and erosion of natural shoreline and bed resulting from stormwater discharges. (j) All new residential, commercial, industrial and other habitable or non-habitable structures must be constructed so that the lowest floor elevations are a minimum of two feet above the critical event lOO-year high water elevation and are one foot above the overflow elevation of. nearby surface waterbodies wetlands and stormwater basins. 12 Within landlocked basins, lowest floor elevations must be at least one foot above the surveyed basin overflow elevation. (k) Development resulting in the creation of impervious surfaces must explicitly address use of best management practices (BMP's) to first limit the loss of pervious area; and second, to infiltrate runoff which does occur from impervious areas to the extent feasible considering site-specific conditions. BMP's include the use of vegetated swales, pond outlets perched above groundwater levels, use of infiltration systems, roof drainage to pervious areas, minimum of twenty percent pervious surface, use of depressed/casual storage areas, and minimization of the number and width of parking stalls and use of deep-rooted native vegetation, and narrower "rural section" roads. The goal of these BMP's is to incorporate practices into the design which are capable of infiltrating the impervious surface runoff from the Mpls-St.Paul median storm (0.34 inches) in seventy-two hours. Infiltration volume will be calculated using the appropriate hydrologic soil group classification and saturated infiltration rate from the table below. Hydrologic Soil Group Infiltration Rate Soil Textures A 0.50 in/hr sand, loamy sand, or sandy loam B 0.25 in/hr silt loam or loam c 0.10 in/hr 0.03 in/hr clay loam, silty clay loam, silty clay, or clay for Small Watersheds, SCS, June sandy clay loam D Source: 1986.

The RCWD recommends th::lt the foilowing considerations be incorporated. to the gre::ltest possible extent, when constructing wildlife pond. or wnrking within wetland areas. SIZE: The wildlife pond should be at le::lst lJ4 acre in sur6ce area size. although brger ponds (u.p to 1 acre) are preferred. SHORELINE CONTO~ It is recommended th::lt a variable (rather th= an even- sided) shoreline be conatructed. This will increase the amount of shoreline per unit area thereby creating isolated areas conducive for waterfowl usage. BOTTOM CONTOUR: The bottom contour should be varied tn promote the growth of emergent vegetation. A 50% open water and 50% veget..:ltive cover (including the emergent vegetadon around the shoreline) will provide the greatest diversity of wildlife species. Watar depth should be abuut 12 co 18 inches in t.':!e sh::lllow are::l of the b::lsin and about 3 to 4 t'eet illo.."timum in the deepest areas. SIDE SLOPES: The upbnd side slopes towards the pond should range from 3:1 to 10:1. The pund bottom side slope should be 8:1 to 12:1. BUFFER ZONE: It is imoort=t to re-est::lblish and mainw.in an upl=d veget.o.ti~e buffer zone around the perimetar of the wildlife pond to provide nesting habit.o.t =d filtar runnff. Mowing of upl=d areas should be avoided. if possible, until August 1 to pro tact nesting areas and allow for brood dispersal. BOTTOM :'I'1ATERIAL: If possible, topsoil should be placed on the bottom of the basin to provide a mare suir..J.bie base for aquatic '1egec.:J.tive growt.':!. In addition, "muck" from an existing wetland should be added to the topsail, providing a "seed" for a benefici::ll biologic::l1 aquatic community to be established. DREDGED SPOILS, All dredged spoils from pond exc::lvation activity will need r.n be placed above the existing lOa-year flood elevation for the site. Erosion control measures such as silt fences and/or st.o.ked hay bales will need to be provided around the spoils. The spoils should be placed within a diked upland area to allow the spoils to dewatar into the soil. I .1 I I I I I I I .. I I I I I I I ..

After all. a well-manicured lawn has unJeni- ;-thlc aesthetic appeal to m,my residents. Therefore, ont: of the key challenges of any public outreach progmm is to convince roughly half of our homeowners that it is possble to grow asharp looking luwn with low inputs (and not greatly increase the amount of labor expended to maintain it). This article sets forth some braod principles to guide homeowners to- ward a low input lawn. Togehter with the accompanying Lawn Care Field Guide found at the end of this issue, it provides a starting point fordesigning a more effective outreach program t6 achieve this goal.

Efficient management is based on a rudi- mentnry understunding of soil properties, local cli- mate, and the growing requirements of selected grass species. With Ihis understanding of regional condi- tions, it is relatively simple to select appropriate grass species and to give the lawn wh.nt it needs at the proper time. \Vithout this underst:lnding, large ::tmounts of grass seed, fertilizer. pesticides, WaleI', and time may he waSted.

For a lOw input npproach. replace the grass underneath m<:lture trees with groundcover. For an even lower input approach. examine your lawn for potential conversion areas and plelnt groundcolJers, trees. shrubs. or perennials in all areas where grass is hard to grow. For tt1€ lowest input approach, use turf only where it is the best plant to fulfill a particular function, such as providing a children's sports area. provide a strong foundation for the lawn~ For a Jow input lawn, get a soil test to determine the soil's pH and fertility. You may not need to add any lime or fertilizer to your lawn. For a lower input lawn, test for soil compaction. Can you sink a screwdriver into the ground without pounding, or is the soil compacted? If the soil is compacted, aerate with a hand corer or mechanical aerator, For the lowest input lawn, examine the soil's texlure- neither extremely sandy soils nor extremely heavy clay soils make for good lawns. Next count earthworms-if none can be found in a square foot of soil, there's a problem. A healthy soil community has over 10 per square foot. Wittl this basic understanding of soil acidity; fertility, compac. tion, texture, and earthworms, one can build soil that supports dense, healthy turf. Choose the type of grass that will be easiest to grow. For a lowinput lawn. select hardy grass species adapted your the region's climate. For a lower input lawn, select named grass varieties to meet your specifiC needs. For Ule lowest input lawn, try the new low-input slow-growing or dwarf grass mixes. Mow to the right height at the right time, and recycle clippings. For a low input lawn, leave clippings on the lawn to provide nutrients and moisture. For a lowerinput lawn. set mowing height as high as possible. Forthe lowest input lawn, adjust mowing height and frequency during the growing season and monitor thatch levels. GIve the lawn what It needs but don't overfeed. For a low input lawn, recycle clippings and (in the right season) apply commercial fertilizer at half the recommended rate; avoid weed and feed formulations and don't fertilize if rain is imminent. For a lower input lawn, fertilize as above but use encapsulated nitrogen or an organic product instead-and fertilize only if soil tests show it's needed. For the lowest input lawn, substitute home generated compost for commercial organic or encapsulated products. Establish a realistic tolerance level for weeds and use least toxic control methods to maintain It. For a Jow input lawn use least toxic weed control methods such as: cultivation, solarization, flaming, mowing, or herbicidal soap. For a loweril'1put lawn, grow strong healthy grass and it will crowd out weeds. For the lowest input lawn, broaden your qefinition of "lawnw to include weeds that perform desirable functions. Establish a realistic tolerance level for pests and use least toxIc control methods to maintain It. For a low input lawn, use least toxic control methods such as removing ortrapping pests, introdUCing biological control agents, or apply least toxic chemical controls such as insecticidal soaps. For a fowerinput lawn, grow strong, healthy grass that can resist attack. For the lowest input lawn, use cultural controls to prc\'ent infestation, protect natural predators, and add beneficial soil microbes. Practice water cons.ervlng landscaping techniques. For a low input lawn. water infrequently, in the early morning, but soak the lawn well. For a lower Input lawn, water only wilen the lawn definitely needs -it, nnd calibrate sprinklers. For the lowest input Inwn, accept th<:lt the grass may not be green year round. -_.._._--~-- ----_._~~-_.~--~ "J'. . :: .ii=F-l(II{;:J'.:.r.~r.lrow Prcxerv{J!ilJll of twrt/fill cupacity Yard wasles (clippings, fallen kaves, trimrning:->, and uprooted weeds) can makc up 20~25% or house- ho]J garhage (Kolb ]YlJj).

Although grass clippings uccompose r;J,pidly on the lawn. (hey often persist for a long lime in landfills. In 1981 the city of PI<lno, Texas, instituted a program that encouraged residents to leave clippings on home lawns to provide nutrients ::Jnd moisture. Knonp and Whitncy (1989) reported the results: Thc city saved $60,000 in disposal costs in the first YC3r, even though the number of households served in- creased 12% ovcr the same period. Residents partici~ paling in the program saved $22,000 in plastic bag purchases. In 1989. it was estimated that Fort Worth. Texas could save about $200,000 in annual disposal costs if all homeowners slopped bagging grass clip- pings. By J 991, 34 states had enacted restrictions on yard waste dumping or were debating such laws (EPA 1991). In Seattle, an education program encouraged urban citizens to compost yard and food wastes. About 5,300 tons of yard waste were removed from disposal annually. for a net savings of $378,000 (EPA ]991). Reduced cost for management of public lands Integrated pest management (a pest control ap- proach that minimizes pesticide use) is an excellent investment on public lands. Raup and Smith (1986) reponed that integrated pest IllJnagement (IPM) re- duced community pest management costs by 22%, even though more pests were controlled undcrthe new program. The use of expensive chemicals to control weeds c,m also bcsubstantially reduced. Simply chung~ ing mowing height can, by itself, reduce weed levels by over 50% (Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay 1994). Finally I converting lawns to plnntjngs which require less intensive maintenance can also generate savings. In Maryland, a progrnm to landscape highway inter- changes al10wed the stale to reduce mowing by 10% for a $300,000 savings (Rodbell 1993). Steos Toward the low Inout lawn . "c,. ",'_ " . .

Less lawn results in less work. The shape of an arc a should also be considered. since smal], edge arcas such as narrow strips or tight corners can be difficult to mow, waler, and fertilize evenly. For lawns with the same surface aren. water use rises as the perimeter increnses (Ellefson 1992), Converting lawn edges to less intensive planlings is a particularly effec- tive strategy for reducing inputs. Once a lawn area has been targeted for conversion, alternative plantings must be selected. Existing tlowerbeds or groupings of trees and shrubs can simply be expanded, or groundcovers can be used to replace grass. Another option is to establish planrings that mimic native plant communities such as forests, meJd4 ows, and wetlands. In addition, some areas of the ]a\\:n can be converted into mulched beds.

And yet, m<lny homeowners try (0 grow bluegrass which is best suitcu to the cool, rjjiny climate of England. Since hluegrass is a shallow- rooted and filst growing grass, it is prone to dry out vcry quickly in a hot or dry .summer.

Traditional lawncare looks 10 {he close-cropped putting green as the ideal turf. Unfortunately, close mowing can weaken the grass and expose the grass crowns to sunburn. It J!so ~xposes the soil to sunlight, which may encourage weed seeds to germinate. Keeping grass taller will aClllally shade out weeds. reducing them by more than 50",0 (Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay 1994). Mowing taller also encourages thicker turf and deep roots (Fig- ure 3). Many grasses spread through stolons (shoots that run along the ground and produce a new plant at the tip) or rhizomes (underground horizontal stems that produce new plants). Since the blade tips contain chemicals that inhibit side .shOOlS, mowing can stimulate the growth of sto- lons or rhizomes. However, turf trials at Purdue Uni- vc::rsity found [he spread of grass varies with mowing heig.ht. After 22 weeks, a freshly~sccded lawn that was mowed 10 V4 inch height covered 42% of its plot.

Wild rnustnrds arc n sign of compacted soil or soil with a hard crust. Field peppergrass <:lppears in alkaline .soils. Dai- sies show poor fertility, while lamb's quarter could indicate the opposite. lfclover is common in your lawn (and you didn't plant it) it indicates th,.Jt nitrogen levels may be low. Since the clover fixes nitrogen, it can do well in areas where the grass may go hungry. Dandelions are especially common in lawns with acid surface soil. Ji<T.':!.~~~~E':"~,;1),~ A lawn with zera weeds is not attainable. Composting weeds that have been removed by hand cnn take ndvantnge of desirable weed qualities. Most weeds help feed the compost pile, but plants like dandelions provide a special service. Called dynamic accumulators, they reach deep into the soil for essential elements. Traditional Iawncare often recommends a feeding of iron to green up the lawn (not surprising since excess phosphorus can lead to iron deficiency). Instead, common weeds such asdJndelion, chick- weed, plantain, purslane, and lamb's quarter can be used for iron accumulation. ijH.,.JII.7)i.j\"F1\.!J\'.t4:!1~~\\lj(\!\'''WJ.>:;:!~~ Many weeds also attract beneficial insects if al- lowed to flower. These insects need pollen or nectar in addition to the protein they get from consuming pests. For example, ladybugs feed on dandelion pollen and clover. In early spring, when not much is blooming, dandelions can be a very important food source for overwintering ladybugs. Predatory wasps take advan. tage of chickweed, while mustard attracts a variety of beneficial insects. Thus, weeds in the lawn can actually help plants in surrounding vegetable and tlower beds. Of course, insects aren't the only ones thaI find weeds appetizing. Some of the most common weeos are uncommonly nutritious for people. Before im- ported greens were available ye~lr.rotlnd, these rl:lllls served an important diel:lry function.

Beneficial nemawdes can be introduced to attJck the gru,bs, I I I I I I flow can pest damage be prevented? Most lawn diseases are caused by fungi. and they are most likely to occur under particular conditions of temperature and humidity. Thus, an important part of prevention is learning which diseases tend to occur during which seasons. Selecting resistant grasses. wa- ter management, fertility management, mowing/thatch management, and aeration are all important in disease prevention. For example, dull mower blades tend to tear Ihe grass, and the resultant ragged cut allows disease organisms easy entry. Having a mixture of lawn grasses also increases disease resistance. One method of both preventing and treating lawn diseases is to increase the numbers of beneficial soil microbes. These microbes, which out-compete the disease organisms, are found in aged compost piles and composted tree bark. They are also available in some commercial organic fertilizer products. Least toxic chemical treatments include plant-derived products like neern oil or garlic oil as well as fungicidal soaps. For a thorough discussion of integrated rest manage- ment for lawn diseases and pests, consult a reference such as Olkowski, Daar, and Olkowski (199 I).

Development that is not tributary to an existing regional treatment pond is required to employ best management practices to treat storm water discharge. Pond Construction Subd. 1. Above Normal Water Elevation The following criteria will be followed for pond construction above the normal water elevation. For pond construction below the normal water elevation, refer to Pond Restoration and Nutrient Trapping Pond Design Standards on the following pages. This area of the pond will more than likely be the pond area flooded during a storm up to a 1 DO-year duration. . Maximum 3 Horizontal to 1 Vertical (3H: I V) side slopes. Proper access for maintenance, operations, and inspection. Emergeucy overflow above the 1 GO-year design storm high water elevation. . . Subd. 2. Nutrient Trapping: Pond Design Newly constructed detention basins shall provide additioual storage volume below the outlet to allow for reasonable accumulation of sediment. Where sedimentation is considered to be a continuous problem, access to the area to allow for sediment removal is required. General Criteria The following general criteria should be used when designing the sediment pond: . For basins intended to have permanent water leveL~, a minimum of 4 feet of standing water (dead storage depth). Maximize the separation between inlet points and outlets to prevent short-circuiting of storm !lows. A 10: 1 slope for the first 10 feet from shore, then 3: I maximum slope. . . Proper access for maintenance, operations, and inspection. Size Nation-wide Urban RunofI Program (NURP) ponds will be designed with standing water or dead storage for pollutant removal. The total phosphorus removal efficiency for each pond or pond network must fan in the 65-70 percent range. Storm water treatment can be provided via a single pond which meets the design and treatment criteria or an onsite network of interconnected ponds. If an onsite pond network is used, the overall pollutant removal efficiency for the network must meet the criteria. The recommended pond design criteria in order of importance are as follows: Permanent Pool (1) The permanent pool is important because it provides storage and treatment of runoff during and between storm events. Permanent pool volume should be greater than or equal to the volume of runoff resulting from a 2.5-inch rainstorm under complete watershed development. This value has been derived from design criteria developed in Nation-wide Urban Runoff Program (NURP), with a 25 percent iucrease in volume to allow for roughly 25 years of sediment accumulation. This sizing rule provides a mean hydraulic residence time of about 15 days. (2) To promote settling and provide space for sediment accumulation, the mean depth of the permanent pool (volume/surface area) should be greater than or equal to 4 feet. This constraint may be infeasible for small ponds (<approx. 3 acre-feet in volume. see below), where mean depths of3-4 feet may be lIsed. (3) To prevent development of thermal stratification, loss of oxygen and nutrient recycling from bottom sediments, the maximum depth of permanent pool should be less than or equal to 10 feet. (4) To promote plug flow behavior, the ratio of maximum length to maximum width (LJW,) should be greater than or equal to 3. Expected performance is less sensitive to the length/width ratio than to volume or depth. This constraint may be infeasible for some site plans or for small ponds. In such situations, bames may be installed to isolate the iuflow area from the remainder of the pond. A desirable alternative (for all pond sizes) is to construct two or more separate ponds in series with a total volume equal to that specified above Item (1). (5) For safety purposes and to provide suitable habitat for rooted aquatic plants, the bench width should be at least 15 feet and the bench slope should not be steeper than 10:1 (horizontal vertical). The bench slope begins at the normal pool elevation and includes lower elevations until the minimum length criteria is met. (6) To provide stability, the side slopes below the bench should not be steeper than 3 feet horizontal to I-foot vertical. Shallower slopes may be appropriate, depending upon soil engineering propelties. Shallower slopes are more feasible for larger ponds. (7) A forebay to provide the settlement of sand-sized particles shall be provided at the pond inlet(s). I .- I I I I I 1 I II I I I I I I I -- I 1 ~. I I I I I 1 I II I I I I I I I f' I Private Storm Water Facility Maintenance Subd 1. All private storm water facilities shall be maintained in proper condition consistent with the performance standards for which they were originally designed. All settled materials from ponds. sumps, grit chambers, and other devices, including settled solids, shall be removed and properly disposed of when the pond has lost 50% of its dead storage volume. No private storm water facilities may be approved unless a maintenance plan is provided that defines who will conduct the maintenance, the type of maintenance and the maintenance intervals, along with a signed agreement regarding the maintenance.

June/2000 Introduction The Arden Hills Water Quality Task Force was created by the Council in May of 1999 and began meetings in October. The Task Force responsibility was to: 1.) Conduct a comprehensive review of past and current surface water quality of Arden Hills's lakes, streams, and wetlands, and identify problems and concerns that need to be addressed. 2.) Examine different management approaches, technological developments, or other measures for protecting or improving surface water quality. 3.) By May 31, 2000, develop and prioritize recommended actions that the City of Arden Hills could take to maintain or improve surface water quality, considering both environmental benefit and economic cost. The Task Force (TF) was composed of citizens from all areas of the City and representatives from the two colleges, Early on we adopted the basic suggestions of the Comprehensive Plan concerning water quality as a working platform. 'The TF hosted speakers and reviewed many materials, maps, books, videos and reports concerning water issues. 2 After listening to speakers and reviewing materials 3 we established water quality goals for Arden Hills. The TF then discussed what measures might be most effective in meeting these goals over time which resulted in eight recommended actions. Executive Summary State of the City- Current Conditions The TF found no emergency situations that need immediate attention; however this is largely due to gradual improvements in the watershed over time. Without continuous improvements, water quality will inevitably suffer. There are many areas of concern that need special attention. The impact of phosphorus, largely from surface water runoff, is a major driving factor for water quality improvement in Arden Hills and nationwide. Some specific problems we identified as major concerns: . Citizen awareness about water quality issues is unknown but thought to be low. Studies indicate uninformed citizens contribute to poor water quality in a variety of ways since their customs impact a large land area. , Arden Hills Comprehensive Plan-Protected Resources pp. 67. 2 See Appendix -Reviewed literature_ 3 Speakers- Karl Keel, City of Roseville; Terry Noonan.

Final Report Introduction - Arden Hills Water Quality Task Force - June 2000 .Construction projects and other runoff events in Roseville via Judicial Ditch # 4 have the potential to dramatically affect downstream water quality. Little Lake Johanna is suspected to be a phosphorus catch for a large area of Roseville which drains through the lake and into Johanna. .AR has many pipes which outlet directly into waterbodies of all kinds with little or no pretreatment. There is little or no protection in several areas from potential spill hazards from freeways, state and county roads which represent a significant drainage area in Arden Hills. The locations of some high impact areas are known generally but will require more study to determine specific locations and degree of impact. .The City of Arden Hills has a formal street sweeping policy and uses salt sparingly but does not train personnel in best management techniques for water quality. There are no ordinances that encourage water quality protection other than offered by Rice Creek Watershed Districts rules. Arden Hills as a fully developed city is not completely protected by RCWD rules structured to acconnodate development in rural areas. 4 Lakes Water quality in Arden Hills is well understood by Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) and Ramsey County for the lakes Johanna and Josephine; however there are several areas where the data set is incomplete or inconclusive. Baseline data for the smaller lakes, drainages, and wetlands is not available. The lakes Johanna and Josephine, have shown some improvement in water clarity over the last 20 years. (See Appendix - "Trophic States of RCWD lakes" and attached discussion) All lakes in the RCWD tend to have eutrophic' characteristics and as such are sensitive to water quality impacts. A full scale appraisal of Lake Johanna by the RCWD is scheduled for Summer of2000.' Weed growth cycles and exotic species have continued to draw the concerns of residents over water quality and need more study. I .- 1 I 1 1 1 I I . I 1 I I 1 4 Volume control of stormwater is a new concept in RCWD rules. The established methods and standards have not 1 developed to a sufficient extent to protect communities that already have a high level of impervious surfaces. " Stormwater management in the District has historically focused on controlling peak runoff rates and providing water quality treatment 1 via NURP style ponds. The 1995 Volume Study (Montgomery Watson PEl demonstrated that the Districts current Rules and Regulations targeting peak runoff rates are not sufficient to maintain flood stages in several District lakes. Furthermore, without volume control measures as recommended in the Volume Study, high water draw down times are longer and , available storage volumes are filled thus increasing the risk of flooding from the next rainfall." - Memo to RCWD Board of Managers from Derek Knapp PE -Montgomery Watson - 2129/2000. 5 Eutrophic - A description for a body of water where the organic nutrients reduce the dissolved oxygen. producing a more favorable environment for plant than animal life. Other related states are Mesoeutrophic and Hypereutrophic.

The City also has many wetlands that are well buffered from pollutants with ponds and overland vegetated flows leading to major water conveyances. Open spaces are still available to construct water quality mitigation sites. These resources make Arden Hills unique compared to many fully developed cities in our area. Goals Our goals for improving Arden Hills water quality were derived from similar goals established by Ramsey County' and modified for Arden Hills. The goals aim to maintain a high value environment, promote clean water, maintain a balance between aquatic diversity and human enjoyment, enhance wildlife habitat and encourage pride in the Community. They are: l.Water resources and features are an important contribution to a high quality of life and to the tax base of the community. Lakes, wetlands, and other water features should be improved at every opportunity. 2.AH contributes and receives waters from the RCWD. We will deliver back to this system clean water which will ultimately flow to the Mississippi River and beyond. We expect that our neighbors will share this intention with us. 3. Opportunities to ensure ecological diversity, provide water quality improvement, advocate environmental education and otherwise improve the natural beauty of our City should be actively encouraged. 4. Natural vegetation should be allowed to flourish and encouraged as a method of slowing rapid runoff, preventing erosion, improving water quality and enhancing wildlife habitat. Our trail systems should be used to enhance the natural characteristics of an area and maintained to minimize human impacts on the water resources. 7 Adopted from Ramsey County Surface Water Management Plan. Recommendations The TF recommendations fall in three general categories of public involvement: Citizen initiatives; Cooperative initiatives; and City management initiatives. These recommendations were framed as management goals to address the most serious problems, by priority. with appropriate scale measures. In order to meet water quality goals and mandates, the City should: I)Work to bring watershed education to the citizens of Arden Hills. 2) Encourage and enable citizens to solve water quality issues where they live by developing and encouraging programs to accomplish City Water Quality goals. 3) Support and encourage water quality monitoring programs in areas of the greatest water quality impacts and areas not currently tested by RCWD or Ramsey County. Arden Hills should support the RCWD water quality programs for schools. 4) Convene a citizen board to work with staff in planning a comprehensive Water Management Plan. 5) Request that Rice Creek Watershed District promptly notify AH staff of any new projects that potentially impact AH waters. Identify staff water quality contacts in Roseville, New Brighton, MN DOT, and Ramsey County for general and hazard response communications. 6) Maintain all city sediment collection and water quality control features on a regular schedule. Identify areas most impacted by seasonal street runoff products. 7) Introduce water quality planning in new or repair projects and plan for retrofit and repair of City infrastructure using appropriate Best Management Practices. 8) Amend City ordinances as appropriate to encourage improved water quality practices in development and redevelopment projects and to allow for certain types of landscape and water plantings as natural amendments for water quality purposes. I J I I 1 1 I I 1 II I I I I 1 1 1 , 1 I ~ Recommendation Strategies - Arden Hills Water Quality Task Force -June 2000 Recommendation Strategies Below are the TF recommendations with suggested methodes) and implementations to achieve the 1 Arden Hills water quality goals. The recommendations were framed in terms of management actions. It is suggested that these recommendations and any standing policies that originate from I them be integrated into the Water Management Plan process. We list in Method(s) some of the processes required to accomplish the recommendation. We intended to list in Implementation(s) 1 some, but not all, specific tools to accomplish our objectives. The matrix guides' present another representation ofthese concepts. The Resources category describes potential costs. I 1) Recommendation The City should work to bring watershed education to the citizens of Arden Hills. 1 Method(s): 1 Acquire and develop a variety of second party prepared material from existing water education programs, Use all available City resources to expose residents, businesses, schools, colleges, . 1 1 1 I 1 I 1 , I contractors, lawn service providers, lake associations, City Staff, City Committees and other Cities - to Arden Hills water issues. Encourage partnership and participation in water quality improvement by providing information and Best Management Practices (BMP's) 8information to the homeowner and City landholders. Implementation(s): . Customize educational materials to fit the unique circumstances in Arden Hills and to solve specific identified problems. . Publicize selected issues using the City newsletter, City web site, City committees, lake associations, educational institutions, Cable Channel 16, otherlocal organizations and utility bill inserts. . Develop a section in the Arden Hills Library with these specified materials. Promote the use of these materials. Televise selected events concerning water quality on a regular basis, . Develop an Arden Hills water quality display for use at the Town Hall meeting and Day in the Park Celebration, . Develop storm water.stencilinglsignage program. 9 . See Appendix - Matrix Guides, 8 Best Management Practices definitions and descriptions. 9 Stormwater Stenciling Programs- A volunteer program that marks storm sewer inlets with a notice or a sign indicating where the pipe outlets to, May be done with paint, decals, signs or medallions. Many programs are in current operation. Studies have shown a 60% or better attention rate by local residents. Appendix - Arden Hills Water Quality Task Force - lune 2000 . Develop a citizen awards program to encourage volunteerism and to recognize successful efforts. 'Assign a City Staff contact person for coordination and communication to Council. Resources: Most programs would involve second party produced materials and coordination by other entities. The City's costs would be proportionate to its decision to participate at a higher level. For example: The City may want to sponsor a display or informational exhibit, produce signs describing specific projects or water quality initiatives, or cooperate in a cable production about the City of Arden Hills water environment. Alternatively, the City may encourage another group to bring displays to the City, solicit another governmental entity to produce signs or use a video from a source such as the University Extension. The City should at a minimum produce an informational map of the various sub-watersheds within the City and distribute it to all households.lO This could be done as part ofthe Water Management Plan process. 2) Recommendation The City should encourage and enable citizens to solve water quality issues where they live by developing or encouraging programs to accomplish City Water Quality goals. Method(s): . Publicize and encourage interested parties to meet and organize. Provide an informal format for participation. Recognize successful projects with awards, recognition or publicizing of problems. . Consider providing a higher level of City support if citizen interest is sufficient. Any City leveraged support should consider furthering the citizen's own self interest in enhancing property values and serving city needs for better water quality while lowering City costs. . Define an appropriate resource guide for landscaping and other BMP's for water quality enhancement to assist citizens in making wise choices. 11 Implementation(s): . Identify citizens within a defined area who have an interest in solving specific problems that represent an enhancement to water quality. Encourage the free flow of information between these groups. 10 This map would describe the subwatershed, drainages and neighborhood water features. Other relavent information like soil data and topography might be included. II Citizen programs that provide incentives, have measurable outcomes and can compare favorably to traditional measures in cost to benefit, should be eligible for financing or funding.

Encourage the Lake Associations and other lake homeowners to participate in a lake protection plan process. . Develop a set of recommended improvements or BMF's for specific areas of the City that would advance Arden Hills water quality goals. Encourage citizens to create local area plans for water quality enhancement using BMF's appropriate to the area. 13 . Create and distribute a Sub-Watershed informational map. Resources: Some stafftime would be devoted to coordination and communications. Some of this work would be accrued to the Water Management Plan process. Overall costs to the city would be dependent on the level of participation and success in implementing programs. Incidental costs for awards, framed certificates, purchased books or manuals for reference and loans (See recommendation 1 - Library section). 3) Recommendation Arden Hills should support and encourage water quality monitoring programs in areas likely to reflect the greatest water quality impacts and areas not currently tested by RCWD or Ramsey County. Arden Hills should support the RCWD water quality programs for schools. Method(s): Maintain communication with RCWD as programs develop and cooperate to help implement program. Implementation(s): Contact educational and civic organizations within the City to encourage participation and development of ongoing programs. Support this effort by recognition and if necessary by certifing grant applications to support volunteer testing programs. Resources: Water quality protocols for monitoring will be available by Fall 2000 via the Metropolitan Council's Department of Environmental Services (MCES). Any established testing program may 12 Incentives - Some suggestions were: A yearly plant exchange. A buying club with a City arranged discount for specific plants. An awards or recognition program for successful neighborhood planning efforts. A city recognized guidebook for waterquality enhancements in gardening and landscaping. Availability of planning resources for neighborhood improvements. A program that would allow low interest loans to the Citizens for specific water quality improvements deemed beneficial to City water quality goals. A program of credits to water bills for improvements with defined water quality components. 13 Preparation of Shoreline management plans, aquatic plant management strategies, control of exotic species, deep rooted plantings in landscape and nuisance plant reduction all result in reduced stormwater runoff, less required construction and long term maintenance. City supported projects must reduce or control long term costs. Appendix - Arden Hills Water Quality Task Force - June 2000 be eligible for RCWD funding ifit contributes significantly to the monitoring of water directly in the Rice Creek drainage. Water quality monitoring training may be available soon through the RCWD or Metropolitan Council. One suggested program would be to test Little Lake Johanna on a regular schedule. Northwestern College has an expressed interest in purchasing equipment and testing Little Lake Johanna. Bethel has done extensive testing on Lake Valentine. The City could apply for testing equipment on behalf of program participants or merely acknowledge the contribution of testing to Arden Hills water quality. A seperate citizen program is not contemplated at the present time, but may develop via RCWD education initiatives. Some staff time may be used to establish lines of communication and identify partners. 14 4) Recommendation Convene a citizen board to work with staff in planning a comprehensive Water Management Plan." Method(s): This plan would include: a comprehensive description of water conditions and resources; a management strategy; an implementation plan and other items mandated by State rules and Metro Council guidelines. Areas of most severe impacts and capitol projects must be identified. In considering the Plan, Arden Hills should: . As a fully developed city recognize that water quality requirements might in some cases need to exceed RCWD standards in order to meet Arden Hills water quality goals. 16 . Establish a procedure for cost to benefit analysis of specific structural and non-structural BMP's8arelated to City, commercial and residential projects and establish other procedures and policies as are appropriate to meet water quality needs in a fully developed city. . Identify major capital projects for remediation and propose a schedule of corrections. The highest priority item should be the protection of all water bodies in Arden Hills from direct pipe runoff without some pretreatment of the water. 17 Implementation(s): 14 Partners would include contacts with Roseville, RCWD. New Brighton. MN Dot, DNR. and State emergency management (MPCA). 15 A technical advisory group that would also manage the plan and determine major components. This board would work with Council, staff and City Engineer. 16 Encouraging job site erosion control, and special vegetation requirements could be accomplished by changes to subdivision or building codes. Also limiting the buildable area in certain specific zones without additional water quality and volume control may be necessary. 8a See Appendix item BrvIP's discussion concerning Structural and Non-structural Best Mangement practices. 17 Sites may be found in Storm water Survey by Greg Brown BRW. A few additional sites need identification _ especially in lake areas. 1 I , I I 1 I 1 I II 1 1 I I I I I ~ I I I f I I I I I I It I I I 1 I I I , I Appendix N "Comprehensive Drainage Survey Maintenance Plan and Ponding Recommendations" and Final Report by Arden Hills Water Quality Task Force II ~I II II II II II ..

ARDEN HILLS COMPREHENSIVE DRAINAGE MAP 1 I I I 1 I I I I I I I I I I , I I I I INTRODUCTION BRW Inc., in conjunction with the Public Works Director have completed a comprehensive, city wide drainage survey. The goals of the survey are to investigate and map as necessary existing drainage ways throughout the city, identify existing and potential problem areas and determine repair priorities and a maintenance program to address them. Prior to this study and report, the City did not have an up-to-date detailed inventory of drainage infrastructure including drainage subwatersheds, existing storm sewer, natural wetlands, lakes, ditches, culverts and ponds and their interaction. Because of its hilly terrain and numerous lakes and wetlands, Arden Hills has an extensive collection of natural and manmade drainage ways. The entire city lies within the Rice Creek Watershed District and is subject to the policies of that organization with respect to storm water management. The purpose of this report is to generate a masterplan documenting existing drainage ways and drainage infrastructure while identifying problem areas as well. This report also recommends possible measures which could be taken by the City to address the problem areas. Potential storm water detention/retention pond locations are also identified in this report. The purpose of detention/retention ponds is to increase the water quality of the of storm water runoff and to minimize discharge rates of the storm water into the receiving waters. The Arden Hills Public Works Director and BRW conducted the field survey throughout the summer and fall of 1998. The field survey included meetings with residents who have expressed specific drainage concerns, weekly "ditch" walks to see first-hand the condition of existing ditches, ponds, culverts etc. Sections of the city were selected and "walked" until all the city drainage ways were surveyed and existing and potential drainage problems were identified. The TCAAP property was not included in this survey. BR W then compiled notes from the field survey, utilized as-built plans when available and generated a drainage system masterplan map illustrating the existing storm drainage infrastructure in the City and highlighting the problem areas encountered in the field survey. Included with this report is a comprehensive draioage map that shows drainage areas, lakes, ponds, wetlands and drainage ways throughout the City. The map also includes the existing municipal storm water system and some Ramsey County and MnDOT drainage culverts. 2 I .' I I I 1 I I I II I I I I I I 1 , 1 , t , , , , , , It I I I I I I I OVERVIEW OF CITY DRAINAGE PATTERNS The City's watersheds are centered around its major lakes which are in turn connected to each other by large wetland complexes, ditches or drainage ways. The Round Lake District generally includes the areas between Old Highway 10 and 1-35W north of 1-694. The Arden Manor Mobile Home Park and portions of TCAAP also drain into Round Lake. The majority of the Gateway Business District does not drain to Round Lake but is routed to a new storm water treatment pond between the Minnesota Commercial Railroad property and 13th St. NE. This pond discharges into the MnDOT drainage system along I-35W which drains into Long Lake in New Brighton. A storm water treatment pond is currently under construction at the north end of the Gateway Business District which will treat runoff from West Round Lake Road, Highway 96 (after reconstruction), the Nott Company property and the 4 acre parcel created from the purchase of the Indykiewicz property. This pond will discharge into Round Lake. Round Lake overflows to the southeast into a ditch along Old Highway 10 which empties into Valentine Lake. Valentine Lake also receives a large portion of City drainage from a geographical area roughly bordered by County Road E to the South, Lexington Avenue to the East, Old Highway 10 to the west and a line approximately 300 feet south of Highway 96 to the north. Valentine Lake also receives runoff from the Valentine Hills area to the west of Old Highway 10 centered on Valentine Lake Road. Valentine Lake overflows to the west under Old Highway 10 just north of McCracken Lane into a ditch and wetland complex which extends along County Road E2 and heads north until it leaves the City limits at a weir located near the Valentine Lake Road bridge over 1-35W. This drainage enters Long Lake in New Brighton via the I-35W drainage system. Lake Josephine receives runoff from the adjacent lake properties and the neighborhoods around Ingerson Road and Edgewater Avenue extending to Lexington Avenue. A good portion of Lake Josephine is located within the boundaries of the City ofRoseville which also generates the majority of runoff entering this lake. Lake Johanna receives a very large amount of runoff from Roseville to the south via Little Johanna Lake as well as the overflow from Lake Josephine. In addition, Lake Johanna receives runoff from Arden Hills neighborhoods bordered by New Brighton Road to the west, Lexington A venue to the east and County Road E/Lake Johanna Blvd. to the north. Lake Johanna overflows into the wetland complex located in the Ramsey County open space between County Road E and County Road E2 where it joins up with the overflow from Valentine Lake to proceed towards Long Lake. Karth Lake is a land-locked body of water with a relatively small tributary watershed located in the Cities of Arden Hills and Shoreview. Some high-water conditions have existed on Karth Lake in the past however a permanent means to regulate the lake level was considered and rejected by the adjacent landowners. Sunfish Lake overflows into Marsden Lake, which drains directly to Rice Creek via a drainage way located within the TCAAP site. The existing properties fronting Highway 96 between 3 I I I I I I I 1 1 I 1 I I I I I I I I Keithson Drive and Lexington A venue generally drain to Sunfish Lake or Marsden Lake. The ongoing reconstruction of Highway 96 includes collecting and treating storm runoff in regional treatment ponds located along the roadway corridor. A regional pond is proposed in the northwest corner of Harnline Avenue and Highway 96, which will outlet into Sunfish Lake. Rice Creek enters the City east ofl-35W at County Road I in the TCAAP site and meanders south to County Road H where it leaves the City heading west into Moundsview. The city also contains numerous small wetlands and several manrnade drainage ponds, some of which appear as natural water bodies today. As a general rule the neighborhoods located north of I-694 have comprehensive storm sewer systems with curb and gutter, catch basins and piping which drain to man-made drainage ponds, ditches or natural wetlands prior to entering the lakes in the area. The commercial areas between Trunk Highway 51 and Lexington Avenue generally also have comprehensive drainage systems often including storm water treatment ponds prior to discharging into the public ditches or natural wetlands_ The neighborhoods surrounding Lake Johanna and Lake Josephine generally do not have comprehensive storm sewer systems with treatment ponds therefor a large percentage of runoff in these neighborhoods enters the Lakes with little or no treatment currently. Most existing storm sewer systems discharge directly into the two lakes or area wetlands. 4 I .1 I I I I I I I II I I I I 1 I I , I , '- , , , , I I I It I I I I I I I AREAS OF CONCERN/SUGGESTED REPAIRS Considering the extensive drainage system in the city relatively few problem areas were encountered during the field survey. Most of the drainage ways and wetland areas are in locations where problems caused by potential flooding are relatively low in severity. The majority of drainage ways are in ravines or channels, which are well below the elevation of any development or roadways. The vast majority of problems discovered are minor in nature and consist of replacing culvert end aprons, removing debris or sediment from culverts, etc. A few cases would involve a significant investment on the part of the city to remedy or keep in functioning order. The following are short descriptions of the more significant problem areas encountered during the survey. McClung Drive Problem The primary area of concern is a ditch that runs behind McClung Drive and Colleen Avenue. A resident at 1519 McClung drive has called the city reporting that the ditch has flooded numerous times in the last few years. The resident has stated that when the creek floods the water inundates their backyard and has come to within a foot of entering their walkout basement. The flooding can be attributed to a few reasons: * The walkout basement elevation is low compared to the creek bed and the backyard grade from the walkout to the creek is nearly flat. * The ditch bed behind the house up to the culvert outlet approximately 100 yards down stream is flat. As a result of the flat slope, flow velocity in the ditch bed is slow causing sediment to build-up, which fills in the stream channel. * The steep hill on the north side of the creek (Royal Hills Drivel Arden Vista Court) is lacking in vegetation, which tends to slow down storm water runoff flows. This ditch was cleaned by city crews a few years ago and has silted in and new vegetation has developed in the channel. The vegetation and sediment also acts to slow down storm water runoff flow rates. Potential Mitigation Measures * The primary mitigation measure is to clean the channel of sediment and debris to increase flow through the section. The inlet and outlet of the downstream culvert should also be cleaned out to maximize the flow capacity of the culvert. The steep slope on the north side ofthe channel should be stabilized to eliminate slope erosion and reduce the amount of sediment flow into the creek. It is likely that a periodic cleaning of this ditch will always be needed to maintain its usefulness. * Small check dams with stilling basins could be built along the ditch upstream of the problem area. The stilling basins would be constructed to hold more water upstream and reduce the flow through the area of the stream in question. This measure would require multiple stilling basins. 5 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I * Another possible mitigation measure for this problem is to line the channel with concrete or other solid material which would promote better flow through the section that floods. This alternative would be very expensive and the channel would still require periodic maintenance to remove sediment and debris. All proposed mitigation measures would create a large disturbed area as a result of the excavation as well as just accessing the ditch behind the houses. A more detailed review of the tributary drainage area, ditch gradeslsections and yard contours will be required prior to generating a construction contract for the work. The cost estimate included in this report assumes ditch excavation in the vicinity of 1519 McClung Drive and restoration associated with the work. Improvements upstream are not included in the estimate. Siems Court Problem Storm water runoff from Ridgewood Court over tops the bituminous curb at the end of the cul- de-sac and flows through the backyard of the residence at 3520 Siems Court. Although no severe erosion has taken place the resident states that they are unable to plant a garden, trees etc. on the slope because the plantings will wash away. Currently there is an improvised drain on the end of the Ridgewood Court that is undersized and unable to handle storm runoff. There is an existing catch basin located near the bottom of the slope that drains under Arden Place directly to Lake Johanna. The catch basin and outlet were apparently installed in 1991 or 1992 according to drawings reviewed by BRW. Potential Mitigation Measures * A catch basin could be constructed at the end of Ridgewood Court and piped to the existing catch basin located near the bottom of the hill. A curb would also have to be constructed to direct runoff from Ridgewood Court. into the proposed catch basin. This solution would likely require a drainage easement in the resident's yard as well as the property at 1653 Arden Place, for installation and maintenance of the pipe. * The problem could also be addressed by the incorporation of storm sewer facilities in the neighborhood as a part of future roadway reconstruction. This approach would allow the City to construct a catchbasin at the end of Ridgewood Court as necessary but would allow several other options for routing of the drainage pipe possibly to a regional ponding site next to Lift Station #3 or to the wetland east of Ridgewood Road. The first measure may be cheaper initially however it would direct more runoff from City streets directly into Lake Johanna, which is an undesirable in terms oflake water quality. The reconstruction schedule of Arden Place, Siems Court and Ridgewood Court will be determined as a part ofthe comprehensive street condition review to be accomplished this spring. The cost estimate included in this report reflects the first potential mitigation measure describe above. 6 I .' I I I I I I I II I I I I I I I , I , '- , , , , , I I p I I I I I I I Karth Lake Inlet Problem Stilling basins were installed a few years ago in a ravine on the south end of the lake that enters into Karth Lake. In many cases the stilling basins, constructed of rip rap, are beginning to silt-in and are clogging the culvert outlets. A corrugated metal drop manhole at the end of this drainage system is being washed out as a result of the last stilling basin running over and from runoff from the nearby bituminous pathway. .. Potential Mitigation Measures * The stilling basins should be cleaned out to ensure that they are functioning properly and that the outlets operate at the proper flow capacity. * Rip rap or vegetation to prevent additional scouring can be used to stabilize the slope around the drop manhole. * Some reconstruction of the structures may be necessary as well. Ingerson Road Problem Ingerson Road has a history of frequent flooding. Because the street is relatively flat and there is no curb and gutter or ditches to direct the runoff, water has a tendency to pond in the street and adj acent yards. Potential Mitigation Measures * Ingerson Road is in poor condition and is a priority candidate for street reconstruction. Ingerson Road would be constructed with an urban pavement section, which would include curb and gutter and storm sewer. * Because Ingerson drains directly into Lake Josephine, a storm water retention pond should be considered for any reconstruction project to improve runoff water quality and control runoff flow rates into Lake Josephine. The existing poor drainage condition of Ingerson Road will be factored into the priority ranking system for reconstruction as a part of the comprehensive street condition review scheduled for spring of 1999. The cost table does not include costs for mitigating the Ingerson Road condition as it is assumed that the costs would be borne as a part of a street reconstruction project. Summary Table 1.1 "Identified Drainage Issues" lists the drainage issues identified during the field survey. This table describes the identified problem, its location, maintenance responsibility, maintenance priority and an estimated maintenance cost. Table 1.1 also includes the drainage issues identified above as well as the lesser problem areas around the City. 7 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I (f) UJ ::> (f) (f) UJ <!) .~ <<::g. z~ ~ <('" 0:::0 o o UJ u.. r- z UJ o ~ '" :0 '" .....

Costs listed in table I assume that the work would be performed by a contractor and that several jobs would be combined into each contract in order to economize overhead costs and mobilization. A few of the minor jobs would best be accomplished by City forces as time permits which would likely result in some savings to the City over the estimated costs shown in the table. The work could also be included in future street reconstruction projects in order to save contractor mobilization costs. A preliminary breakdown of the cost estimates shown in Table 1.1 for the McClung Drive, Siems Court and Karth Lake problem areas are shown below. Costs shown below and in Table 1.1 include a 10% contingency cost and 26% for administrative costs. Administrative costs include engineering, planning, legal, fiscal and City staff expenses.

If the Council elects to proceed with the projects, the City Engineer will prepare a bid package of work to be accomplished in 1999 in accordance with the budget. The total amount of work identified as a part of this field review is approximately $175,000.00. Based upon the proposed City budgets, the work identified in this report could be completed in five years. Table 1.1 has the problems ranked as High, Medium and Low which can be used as a guide in scheduling the work priority for City forces-accomplished items and bid package groupings for contracts to be let. Geographical location and estimated cost will also be used to determine which projects are accomplished first. 9 , I , , I , , , , , I , , I I I I I I REGIONAL POND CONSIDERATIONS Potential locations of regional detention ponds have also been considered as part of this project. Regional ponds can help to increase storm water runoff quality and control discharge rates into receiving waters such as streams, ditches, wetlands and lakes. Detention ponds are designed to trap sediment and pollutants in runoff water. Oil and grease skimmers are also included along with weirs and orifices to control discharge volumes. The Rice Creek Watershed district requires the treatment of storm water runoff from all new construction projects and reconstruction projects when possible. The City to date has constructed a number of storm water treatment ponds most recently in the Gateway Business District. Typically, storm water detention/retention ponds are the most economical and efficient way to remove pollutants from storm water runoff. In areas oflimited land availability sump manholes and grit chambers have been used as well to improve water quality. The regional ponds would vary in size depending on the runoff area and type ofland use. The regional ponds identified on the masterplan would typically require I to 2 acres of land and cost between $50,000 and $200,000 each to construct. The construction costs are dependent on the size of the pond and site preparation and earthwork required in constructing each particular pond. This price range does not include property acquisition costs. In several cases the pond construction could be included in a road construction or reconstruction project in conjunction with the construction of a storm sewer system. In the City of Arden Hills 1998 Comprehensive Plan, lake characteristics were listed for all the lakes within the city. Water quality for each lake was quantified using the Trophic State Index (TSI). Based upon recommendations from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency: a TSI less than 59 is swimmable, a TSI between 60-65 partially supports swimming and a TSI greater than 65 does not support swimming. The TSI for the lakes within Arden Hills are as follows: Lake Lake Johanna Lake Josephine Karth Lake Little Johanna Round Lake Sunfish Lake Valentine Lake Trophic State Index ITS!) 55 57 65 Unknown 58 Unknown 58 Swimmable Yes Yes No Unknown Yes/Marginal Unknown Yes/Marginal The City is currently in the process of establishing a Water Quality Task Force, which will be charged with developing systematic means to determine the health of the above lakes and recommend measures to be taken in order to improve the health of the lakes. The task force recommendations will playa major role in determining which regional ponds would be the most effective and therefor assist with setting priorities on pond construction and associated roadway reconstruction. Table 1.2 "Proposed Future Storm Water Treatment Pond Locations" lists the possible storm water ponds as shown on the masterplan and indicates approximate drainage areas, pond sizes, the receiving waters from the pond and potential means of construction. 10 I .'

I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I SUMMARY The City of Arden Hills includes a significant system of interconnected natural water bodies and a manmade drainage infrastructure system consisting of ditches, ponds, storm sewer piping and culverts. The field review of these systems indicated that very few significant problem areas exist within the City that need immediate attention. There was no indication of property (structure) damage occurring as a result of substandard drainage infrastructure in the City. Two nuisance problem areas were identified by residents living along McClung Drive and Siems Court and potential mitigation measures have been suggested and estimated for these two instances. The majority of items encountered in the survey are minor in nature and could be accomplished over time by City forces or grouped into bid packages to be let to contractors or added to larger public works contracts such as future street reconstruction programs. The City has budgeted $50,000.00 for drainage improvement work for the fiscal years 1999 and 2000 with an annual budget of $25,000.00 per year beginning in fiscal year 2001. Based upon our survey, the City Engineer feels that this budget will be adequate to address the problem areas identified in this report the next five years while providing for future repairs and maintenance which will be needed on the system. The funding may be better appropriated on a biannual basis for contracting purposes which would allow for greater economy of scale in assembling work packages to be let ($50,000.00 per biennium). The report also considered possible regional pond sites throughout the City. The intent of identifying the pond sites at this time is to include them as considerations when reconstructing streets and storm sewers in the future. Some pond sites are more independent than others relative to when they could be constructed. Some of the ponds shown are only possible to build by utilizing a portion of existing wetland areas or by acquiring private property. The Rice Creek Watershed District has allowed the construction of storm water ponds with some wetland impacts in the past under the philosophy that the water quality improvements realized through the storm water pond outweigh the wetland area "sacrificed". The Council should consider whether a portion of the City Storm Water Utility fund should be budgeted for potential future storm water regional pond construction. The City Engineer also recommends that the City collect additional water quality data in existing lakes and major wetlands and streams for prioritizing of water quality ponding improvements through the Water Quality Task Force. 11 I .1 I I I I I I I tI I , I I I I I , I , t ; ,( , .", I INGERSON ROAD MARCH 30, FLOODING 1998 I ~. I I I I I I I II I I I I I I I r I Appendix - Arden Hills Water Quality Task Force - June 2000 o Convene a citizen advisory board with staff support to develop the framework and components of the plan. o Provide specific process instructions to an advisory board to use in developing basic resources for the plan in cooperation with City goals and previous work accomplished by the AHWQTF. · Use consulting engineers and City staff for review and final product creation of plan document. Resources: Consulting costs are highly variable. A citizen-facilitated plan could build on work already completed and utilize staff in a cost-effective manner to minimize consultant fees. This model has been used in several cities. l' 5) Recommendation Request that Rice Creek Watershed District promptly notifies Arden Hills staff of any new projects that potentially impact Arden Hills waters. Identify staff water quality contacts in Roseville, New Brighton, MN DOT, and Ramsey County for general and hazard response communications. Method(s): A staff person or persons should maintain communication with RCWD and other officials in jurisdictions outside of Arden Hills. Staff person should contact RCWD, city engineers and Council with questions and concerns about possible negative impacts of planned or ongoing projects. Implementation(s): o Identify contacts in other jurisdictions and educate them about Arden Hills water quality policies. Seek voluntary cooperation in enforcement actions. o Identify areas such as Stowe Ave, Josephine watershed, and South Lake Johanna where we have cooperative interests and communicate to others our specific concerns. Distribute our Water Management Plan to appropriate other jurisdiction personnel. Ask them to reciprocate. . Timely comments should be made to influence RCWD decision-making and enforcement. Resources: Some staff time may be required initially and on a semi-regular basis. Many of the key personnel in various areas are already known. An on call emergency response person should be designated. The City should formally notify other jursidictions that Arden Hills water quality initiatives and standards have expanded. This may be accomplished through distribution and printing of additional copies of the Water Management Plan. IS Lino lakes, Mahtomedi, and Shoreview are some local cities which have used citizen input to develop plan. Appendix - Arden Hills Water Quality Task Force - June 2000 6) Recommendation lvfaintain all city sediment collection and water quality control features on a regular schedule. Identify areas most impacted by seasonal street runoff products. Method(s): 19 o Prioritize areas subject to winter salt/sand residue and provide additional buffering for times when street sweeping cannot be done in a timely manner such as early Spring thaw seasons. o Identify sediment collection ponds and structures that are a City responsibility. o Monitor grit chambers and sediment ponds for sediment build up and plan a cleaning protocol to ensure effective operation. Develop a test procedure with RCWD engineers or others and provide maintenance on an appropriate schedule. Implementation(s): o Develop a regular schedule of maintenance based on research and experience that uses appropriate BMP's per the Water Mangement Plan. o Train personnel in the necessary practices and procedures for water quality enhancement. o Integrate BMP's per Water Management Plan into all City repair and retrofit projects. Resources: May involve additional scheduled staff time and engineering. May involve operations committee review. May involve staff training. 7) Recommendation Plan for retrofit and repair of City infrastructure using appropriate BMP's. Introduce a water quality.planning component into all new and repair projects. Method(s): o Integrate water quality planning into all proposed projects designs and require upgrades on new or repair projects. Include RCWD infiltration BMP's as first choice planning options. o Use the Water Management Plan, the Pavement Management Plan and the Comprehensive zoning plan to identify areas that will most enhance present and future City water quality. o Identify water bodies in Arden Hills that need to be protected from direct pipe runoff and retrofitted to provide pretreatment of water. Implementation(s): o Amend City policies and procedures to reduce the total amount of impervious surface in all City construction projects. o Secure voluntary water quality easements for both maintenance and improvements prior to 19 See Endnotes discussion on city maintenance procedures most effective.

I I I I I I I II I I I I I I I r I Appendix - Arden Hills Water Quality Task Force - June 2000 project planning. Consider purchased easements in context of Water Management Plan. Execute purchases in a timely fashion to avoid excessive costs. . Maximize long tenn benefits to cost by using Metro Council BMP's and RCWD infiltration practices in the Water Management Plan. . Use the Water Management Plan as a guideline to identify resources and techniques for improvements to areas with direct pipe discharges. Resources: Some projects will require additional engineering and planning reviews per Water Management Plan. Reconstruction costs may be slightly higher for upgrading and improving structures like piped outlets directly to lakes and wetlands. Establishment of a standard Citywide BMP would minimize the design costs per project. The Water management Plan process should identify these components. Voluntary dedication should be the preferred method for acquisition of easements. A financing method and timeline would be necessary to accomplish these goals. The surface water management fee account and other enterprise accounts are a logical funding choice. 8) Recommendation Amend City ordinances as appropriate to encourage improved water quality practices in development and redevelopment projects and to allow for certain types of landscape and water plantings as natural amendments for water quality purposes. Method(s): . Identify areas of conflict in the ordinance such as weed control versus water quality amendments. 20 . Identify special construction requirements for selected areas of concern identified per the Water Management Plan. For example: Contractors might be required to protect non-vegetated slopes during construction from erosion. Vegetated dikes may be placed within (or at termination of) MN-Dot drainages to slow or capture hazardous material spills along major highway right-of- ways with direct runoff to lake areas. Implementation(s): . Use nonnal ordinance procedures to draft and submit language that would allow aquascaping, and landscaping BMP's. . Require Special seed mixes for erosion control on slopes. . Require use of geotextile matting or other protective measures in addition to silt fencing where slopes could cause extensive uncontained erosion during rainy season construction. Appendix - Arden Hills Water Quality Task Force - June 2000 . Discuss hazard mitigation along highways with MN-Dot and Ramsey County. Resources: Ordinary costs of ordinance process. Staff and planning time. Additional mandated construction cost on projects to require control of erosion. Rules should be proportionate in cost to additional maintenance required to mitigate poor construction practices. Additional building permit fees are an option to mandated erosion control. Conclusion Many of the TF suggested actions may be possible without cost or at a low cost and can be irnplernented irnmediately by adopting thern as policy. Some of these recommendations will require time and additional resources to develop in cooperation with other jurisdictions and with City staff. Other recomrnendations need resource development, a timeline for implementation, and capital funding. The implementation of these water quality goals and recomendations will eventually bring a built in water quality intellegence to the the City that should ultimately avoid expenses of future mandates for water control and correction. Any policies or procedures adopted here should be reviewed at least every five years. The City has control over a limited area ofland , including parks, city streets, some right-of- ways and city owned structures. The remaining land area is under the control of citizens, schools, churches, businesses and other governmental entities. No one program or practice will gaurentee Arden Hills water quality for the future. Without the understanding and cooperation of all parties it is unlikely that any City efforts can be totally successful. 20 Potential remedies include amending existing ordinances or a creating new ordinance. The conunittee's discussion favored creating a new ordinance that addresses water quality initiatives. This approach would avoid the ambiguities found in existing ordinances by clearly determining the values of specific plantings. I J I I I I I I I ..

Best Management Practices Descriptions (excerpted from the National Resources Defense Council) -entire report is at www.NRDC.orv BMP's- A set of defined procedures that offer solutions using the appropriate scale technology and the best cost to benefit advantages for solving site specific problems. Non-Structural BrvIP's- Best management practices for water quality measures that rely on programs or policies as opposed to Structural methods which rely on constructed components. Ideally implemented before growth or development occurs as part of a comprehensive planning process for water quality controls. Examples - Non-structural BlvIP' s Buffers and Open Space Preservation As Table 5-1 and the case studies show, many municipalities employ stream and wetland buffer requirements, open space preservation, and other laws or programs as cost-effective means for reducing storm water runoff and achieving other public goals. These programs are often the specific means of implementing larger growth management goals and are often linked with incentives to aid development in other areas. In addition to zoning-type ordinances, municipalities can also use economic incentives to reduce impervious cover or implement stormwater control through stormwater utilities where the fee is based on amount of impervious cover, inspection and permit fees linked to compliance, or dedicated contributions from land developers. Many local governments have had great success, apparently often more than they expected, with a buffer system of protected natural areas around waterbodies, sensitive areas, or steep slopes. Forested buffers are an essential part of natural stream, lake, and wetland protection.25 They often provide highly desired community amenities as well. Not only do buffers allow the water resource to function .more naturally, they also help reduce a site's overall imperviousness. An average buffer width of 100 feet can reduce imperviousness by up to 5 percent of a watershed. SITE DESIGN MEASURES The case studies in this report highlight several communities and developers that have taken approaches that minimize overall imperviousness on a particular site. In many cases the developer initiated their approach independent of government requirements. Minimizing imperviousness, which is prevention focused, is more cost-effective than treating stormwater runoff and much more cost-effective than restoring waterbodies after they have been polluted or damaged. The case studies also offer insight into a particular difficult aspect of this approach to stormwater pollution prevention. Often existing local or state regulators make storm water-conscious site design more difficult due to street, set-back, density, or other site development requirements. While generally the case studies show that it is important that local governments enforce their regulations, in these circumstances it is important for local governments to allow flexibility. Conservation Design Conservation-design development concentrates homes on a limited percentage of the land comprising a residential subdivision, while leaving the rest of the land as open space.31 As several of the case studies show, conservation design also reduces the amount of impervious road surface created, since the homes are not spread as far apart, and preserves a much greater percentage of undeveloped land. Narrower roads, shorter setbacks from residential streets that allow shorter driveways, or shared driveways also reduce impervious cover when designing residential developments.32 I J I I I I I I I II I I I I I I I , I I ~. I I I I I I I It I I I I I I I , I Appendix - Arden Hills Water Quality Task Force - June 2000 Traditional Neighborhood Design A more comprehensive approach to site-specific planning is the traditional neighborhood developments (TNDs).37 Although aesthetic or cultural concerns motivate many proponents of TNDs, environmental concerns are also advanced with TNDs. Like conservation-design developments, TNDs have sought to minimize the impervious "footprint" of the built environment and preserve open space through compact development patterns that feature narrower roads. shared alleyways, smaller lots, and smaller front setbacks from the street. However, TNDs in the case studies go a step further by adding the principle of mixed-use development. At their best, TNDs provide stores, offices, schools, day-care centers, recreational opportunities, and mass-transit facilities all within a short walk of residents' homes. This gives residents the option to walk rather than drive and thereby eliminate some of the 12 automobile trips that the members of an average suburban household make each day.38 Other Non-Structural Methods- Water Quality Education Programs The most successful of the education/outreach programs accomplish three goals. First, they educate people about the nature of the urban stormwater pollution problem -- its causes and consequences. Second, they inform people about what they can do to solve the problem. Finally, since hands-on education is often the best, the program achieves either pollution reduction or restoration targets. Post Construction Storm water Management The management and planning methods used to reduce the overall impact of stormwatcr from developed, or developing, areas. The primary activity of most municipal and Watershed control organizations. Pre Construction Stormwater mangement- The identification of issues and planning for water quality mangement prior to construction. Includes public education, construction site controls, elimination of illegal and harmful discharges, and improved municipal housecleaning practices. Studies and case histories have shown these methods to be more effective and more cost effective than post construction managment. Structural BMP's . Detention practices temporarily store runoff. then discharge it through a pipe or other outlet structure into streams or other waterbodies.43 Use of wet and dry detention ponds are the most common such practices. Dry ponds release all of their water within a specified time period (generally up to 48 hours), while wet ponds keep some water at all times and retain excess water for a longer period than dry ponds. When designed to be such, wet ponds can be an aesthetic or recreational amenity. Another less common detention practice is the use of cisterns. Detention ponds allow warm stormwater to enter directly into receiving waters. Stormwater collected in ponds may heat to 95" F or more on a hot summer afternoon.51 Since aquatic ecosystems are sensitive to changes in water temperature, these warm waters can cause a loss of fish and other aquatic organisms Bioretention & Biofiltration These practices filter stormwater to reduce contaminant loadings using plants as an additional filter medium. Plants absorb nutrients and metals to a certain extent and facilitate microbal breakdown, but most of the pollutant removal from these practices occurs when the presence of the plants physically blocks the stormwater flow, slowing the flow and allowing contaminants to settle out. One example of this structure are called raingardens. Municipalities may use several types of biofiltration. Constructed wetlands are artificial versions of natural wetlands, using shallow bodies of standing water filled with reeds and other wetland vegetation to filter the water. Engineered filter strips are slightly sloped, flat land planted with grasses, trees or other vegetation which remove stann water pollutants as the stonnwater moves gently across the strip in a even, sheetwlike flow. Swales are wide ditches with moderate sloped banks and bottoms covered with filtering turf; in many cases swales also pennit infiltration as well as clean the water. Bioretention areas are constructed forested or vegetated beds, usually composed of gravel, soil, trees and shrubs, a sand layer, and a grassed swale. Infiltration practices -temporarily store runoff in basins from which the water percolates slowly into the soil below. Like detention practices, they reduce peak flows. However, infiltration practices also recreate, to a greater or lesser extent. the natural pattern of water infiltration into the ground that existed before increased imperviousness covered the land. When designed and installed correctly and maintained regularly, intiltration practices are among the most effective structural BMPs, and often address most of the stormwater Appendix - Arden Hills Water Quality Task Force - June 2000 impacts previously discussed. Studies have shown that intIltration can get 98 percent of stormwater into the earth, cool stormwater to 550F, remove up to 83 percent of nitrogen, and remove up to 98 percent of copper.45 The principal reason why infiltration is often a preferred method is that runoff is cooled as it tlows though the ground, thereby reducing the detrimental thermal effects that runoff has on aquatic ecosystems. "Retention" basins look like dry detention ponds, but have no outlet, forcing water to infiltrate through the bottom of the basin.46 Infiltration trenches aregenerally filled with rocks and gravel to surface level, creating a reservoir that holds water until it passes into the surrounding soil. Dry wells are deeper, narrower versions of infiltration trenches. Some of the most successful are wide-spread use of "french drains," small infiltration trenches placed at the bottom of the discharge pipe from roof gutters that allow water to infiltrate on site rather than passing into the storm sewer system. ] Filtration Practices Filtration practices address water quality problems rather than water quantity. Some consist of a chamber containing a filter medium buried at ground level through which storm water nows, while some are filter inserts for catch basins in the- storm sewer system. As stormwater flows pass through the filter medium, it removes particulates and other contaminants. The filtering materials most frequently used are sand, peat, or compost, although municipalities now use BMPs with synthetic filter mediaA7 Endnotes (Cont.) 19 Municipal Operations. (Excerpted from NRDC's nationwide stormwater managment survey.) A wide range of municipal operations can affect stormwater quantity and quality. NRDC's case studies reveal that some local governments have been able to manage their municipal operations to make a significant positive contribution to reducing stormwater pollution. Successful municipal operations stormwater strategies address areas of municipal activity (in addition to planning and regulatory/enforcement efforts discussed above) in a variety of ways. First, a number of municipal services primarily provided for other purposes can curb stormwater pollution. Street sweeping, collection of leaves and other yard waste, collection and recycling of used oil or other substances, and general trash control all keep contaminants out of urban runoff. Improvement or expansion of such programs significantly assists storm water pollution prevention, and because people want these programs, builds support for the broader issue of storm water management. Second, municipalities engage in a number of activities that directly cause storm water pollution. They operate and maintain vehicle fleets of municipal buses, police cars, and garbage trucks. These vehicles emit into the atmosphere nitrogen and particulates which eventually end up on the ground and then in the stormwater. These vehicles also deposit oil, grease, and metals onto roads and parking lots. Municipalities apply pesticides and fertilizers to municipal parks. cemeteries, highway rights-of-way, and golf courses. Local governments in colder parts of the country salt or sand roads to control ice and snow. Municipalities can include stormwater control requirements in all contracts for construction work and other contracts where such provisions are relevant. Most simply (and a very common action), timely maintenance of vehicles reduces the amount of oil, grease and metals left on roads and parking lots. More dramatically, municipal fleets can be converted to low-emission or zero-emission vehicles powered by natural gas, electricity, or other energy sources to reduce emissions and thus deposition of nitrogen and particulates. A number of municipalities reduce or even eliminate the use of artificial pesticides and fertilizers by employing sound landscaping practices such as planting native species and using integrated pest management. Municipalities and transportation departments have found it is relatively easy to monitor road salt and sand needs to avoid applying more than necessary, which saves money as welt. Third, municipalities often manage some type of storm sewer or storm drain system; how theydo so can make the difference between simply moving the water to another place and successfully addressing stormwater pollution. For example, if catchbasins are not properly cleaned, the materials that collect in them -- sediment, trash and other storm water - .- I I - I I I I II I - I I I I I , I I ~. I I I I I I I II I I I I I I I , I Appendix - Arden Hills Water Quality Task Force -June 2000 contaminants -- can be resuspended in stormwater during a storm and eventually flow into a stream or waterbody. Local governments have found effective designing devices to reduce velocity using vegetated swales to facilitate infiltration and purify storm water runoff. or using preserved natural areas to store or convey stormwater. Fourth. training and education efforts that target municipal officials and agency personnel have also proven to be important. Park and utility workers educated in integrated pest management, fertilizer use, and composting; fleet workers educated in tluid disposal; construction workers educated in erosion controls -- all these have made noticeable differences in the storm water impacts of municipal operations. In municipalities constrained by human resources, programs that provide training or certification for non-government personnel, such as citizen construction site or stormdrain and outfall inspections have proven effective. Furthermore, the case studies demonstrate that a well-trained and informed staff improves interactions with the community, raising corrununity awareness, improving credibility, and setting positive examples for the community. Finally, although no local government surveyed had a full program in this area, several local government officials strongly recommend that periodic environmental audits would make any program far more successfuL A broad4based audit would be particularly useful regarding problems such as storm water that reflects a cumulation of numerous minor problems. With environmental audits becoming more popular in industry, methods for such audits of local governments should be fairly readily available. Checklist for Municipal Controls Education and Training Publish a brochure, booklet and/or mannal explaining all locally applicable requirements and to the extent possible, consolidate requirements and permits for one.stop permitting. Hold training workshops for contractors and invite the public to them as welL Certify those who pass a test following a comprehensi ve training workshop. Hold pre-construction meetings and on-site walk-throughs prior to initial site work and adjust the erosion and sediment control (ESC) plan at the construction site. Inspect sites after storms and assess ESe practices. Enforcement Support county or regional-level enforcement authorities, thus cutting your own costs. Staff, legally empower, fund, train and certify an adequately sized team to enforce requirements and inspect sites. Partner with citizens and" good actor" developers and contractors to watch sites and report violations. Publicize enforcement actions. Require developers to post bonds against potential damages. Require regular maintenance of BMPs, including dredge-out of sediment basins. Erosion Prevention Minimize needless clearing and grading using site planning, open space, buffer zones, and other protections. Protect waterways and stabilize drainageways. Phase construction to reduce soil exposure. Immediately cover, revegetate, and stabilize exposed soils with mulch or other means; at most, use a 14-day limit Prohibit clearing and grading of steep slopes. Employ additional measures for sensitive areas such as buffer zones around wetlands, and special protections and prohibitions depending upon the steep-ness of the slope.

Most of this can be explained in that local geology and topography makes lakes in the North Central Hardwoods Region naturally more eutrophic than northern Minnesota lakes. In this region, in.lake phosphorus, the parameter on which the value is based, is negatively correlated with mean lake depth (MPCA<1990). Since lakes in the RCWD are generally shallow, they are more susceptible to eutrophication. For example, the Rice Creek chain of lakes in Lino Lakes are not truly lakes, but are more appropriately classified as Type 5 wetlands. Due to their shallow depths, organic bottom material, and emergent vegetation, it is generally not "normal" for these lakes to have low TSL - - I I I I r TSI can also be used to determine suitability for recreational uses. MPCA (1988) classifies lakes as fully supporting swimming, partially supporting, and non-supporting. Fully supporting swimming corresponds to a TSI " 59, A TSI between 60 and 65 indicates the lake is partially supporting swimming. Non-supporting of swimming corresponds to a TSI < 65. Based on this classification, only two lakes, Turtle and White Bear, out of the 33 lakes monitored in the past fully support swimming. An additional 10 lakes partially support swimming. I I -- -.- Macrophytes. In a cooperative effort between RCWD, MDNR, Ramsey County, and local lake associations, the exotic nuisance weed Eurasian water milfoil has been positively identified in four lakes within the Rice Creek Watershed. These lakes are White Bear, Bald I 3.24 8/94 I I I I I I I -- I I I I I I I -~ -I- I Appendix 0 MPCA Pollutant Sources in Arden Hills f e . . AR~HIHGTURAl ALLIANCE 400 C L!

No. 1997149 Dear Joe: We have reviewed Rochon Corporation's Application and Certificate for Payment No J J for the Arden Hills City Hall Project. We have visited the site and find that the percentages for work completed is correct with the exception of a few minor changes you will see marked on the form. Section 12490 window blinds for the amount of $1,871.00 has been deleted, as this item has not yet been installed. Also, we have noted that Section 11130 audiovisual equipment is stored on site but is not yet installed. This includes of course only the audiovisual equipment that is integrated into the architecture, particularly the rear projection screen. Changes to the application and certificate for payment reflect these two items, correct the original contract sum amount and update information related to change orders This pay application covers the period ending July 31, 2001. The percentage of the contract amount applied for is 87% (minus a 5% retainage of $131,495.46). We recommend payment in the amount of $209,886.74 Please note that this application does not include Change Order Number Five (81J4J01) for the amount of $21,459.00, as it has not yet been signed by the City. 1997149 \6-CA\Pay Applications\PAYAPPI 1.Doe Mr. Joe Lynch - City Administrator Arden Hills City Hall 08/27/0] Page 2 01 2 I have enclosed a spreadsheet that summarizes payments to date for your reference.

WV LO:60 I~:J IO-LO-d3S ., e ~ ~ EN HILLS MEMORANDUM SUBJECT: Joe Lynch, City Administrator Terrance Post, City Accountant@ Preliminary Payable 2002 Levy TO: FROM: DATE: September 4,2001 e Back!!:round Council had previously discussed an August 24, 2001, Memorandum from myselfto the City Administrator concerning a "levy limit update" at an August 27, 2001 budget discussion. At that time, my memorandum suggested a 7.50% ($159,315) payable 2002 levy increase. This level of increase would represent at $2,184,407 payable 2002 levy (certified 2001 levy $2,025,092 plus $159,3152002 increase) or $99,994 under the payable 2002 levy limitation of $2,284,401. SubseQuent Analvsis After reviewing the written documentation from the Department of Revenue received subsequent to the August 24,2001 memorandum, as well as confirming that Manufactured Home HACA is also eliminated for 2002, I have revised my payable 2002 levy recommendation as follows: Increase Over Certified 2001 Levv $2,025,092 increased by the State Implicit Price Deflator Adjustment of 3.363% yields a payable 2002 levy base increase of$68,104 (versus previous estimate of $59,321 or 2.80%). HACA Revlacement Consider replacing both the certified 2001 HACA ($99,994) and the Manufactured Home HACA received in 2001 ($5,183). The $105,177 from these two HACA factors is then grossed up by an estimated 2.50% property tax delinquency factor. This yields $107,806 in total HACA replacement (versus previous estimate of $99,994). e Recommendation Staffrecommends that the City Council approve a preliminary payable 2002 levy of$2,201,002 ($2,025,092 plus $68,104 Plus $107,806). This would represent a $175,910 or 8.69% increase over the certified 2001 levy and also be $83,399 under the payable 2002 overall levy limitation for the City of Arden Hills. ,. ~ ~ EN HILLS e MEMORANDUM TO: Joe Lynch, City Administrator FROM: Terrance Post, City Accountant tJ SUBJECT: 2002 Tax Levy Survey Data DATE: September 6,2001 A recently conducted fax survey of neighboring communities revealed the following preliminary Payable 2002 Levy information: Channe Non.HACA HACA Portion of 2002 Portion of ~VoOf Community 2001 LeyY Preliminarv $ % 2001 HACA Chanae % ChanaB 1.

However, staff also believes that items #2 ($320.00) and #15 ($2,225.00 resulted from incorrect specifications and the architect (Architectural Alliance) should share in the liability for these increased project costs. The issues with the architect notwithstanding, staff recommends that the Arden Hills City Council approve Change Order No.5 with Rochon Corporation in the amount of$21,459.00. The approval of Change Order No.5 would increase the total contract cost to $3,081,529.93. e e e . , ..

In addition., almost the entire interior of the existing building is being renovated. Specifically, here are some of the project's components that appear to affect fire and life safety: . New heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HV AC) systems, . Major electrical renovation., . Fire-rated exit corridor construction, . Fire separation wall installation (area separation walls per UBC for the addition), . Additional classrooms and assembly areas (commons, cafeteria, auditorium), . Fire sprinkler system installation, . Fire alarm system upgrade. The project was originally planned in phases over a multi-year (two year?) period. In an earlier agreement with the Arden Hill Building Official Dave Scherbel, all student areas would be completed and sprinklered prior to school opening. It now appears that this will not happen. Part of this project included the City of Arden Hills extending a water line across some adjacent properties to improve the dead-end lines. The "looped" water main will greatly increase the available flow. The City is involved in easement negotiations with one of the property owners so it is not known when the water supply upgrades will be made (this project may be delayed until winter). This improvement is critical to the proper operation of the sprinkler system We are concerned that the work will not have progressed far enough by school opening to allow for student occupancy. The following are the minimum requirements for student occupancy of this building: EOUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER , . Mounds View High School August 2, 2001 .ge2 . The fire alarm system must be installed and op_erational including smoke detection throughout the egress system and indicating appliances (i.e. horns); this is the minimum allowed by the fire code for existing schools, . Construction barriers must be installed andm.inf.in"d between the. areas wh.ere work is taking place and where there is student occupancy, . Exit. signage must be provided, . Emergency lighting must be provided, . The fire extinguishing system for the kitcltenhood system must be operational prior to cooking, . A revised egress plan must be developed. It appears that a substantial part of the exit capacity for this buildineJulJ; been.eJiminated. The only exit doors are at the end of the corridors. These exits would greatly exceed travel distance and are probably not adequate to accommodate the number of persons in the building. Temporary egress facilities will need to be provided if the exiting egress capacity is not adequate, . No work can take place in classroom or egress spaces while students occupy these areas. There can be no nhotmctinn. to.."81"".. (includingmechanical eq.uipment and tools) and no cutting,.welding, or .;ml1,r open flame processes can take place while school is in session, . The school district should develop a contingency plan on how to conduct school if this building does not meet these minimum fire safety issues by school opening. This.is.a.maj.or.reno.vation.project that will greatly enhance fire and life safety when completed. Until that time, ee have major fire protection and construction concerns. We understand that all of the related work (ie. mot.lI.t;nn ofsuspendedceiling,. etc.}-fuLthe final sprink1el: system installation may, not be completed by the time of student occupancy. The requirements outlined above are no different than the minimum fire and life safety requirements for an existing school and represent the fire protection features that existed in the school prior to the commencement of this project. The contractor and/or architect should provide the building. and fire officials with a schedule for completion of the fire and life safety issues. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. If you have any ~uestions or need additional information, please feel free to contact me at (651) 762-0883.
