<br />map. <br /> <br />Environmental Element. The City has developed policies directed at the preservation of <br />natural resources in areas undergoing consideration of future development. Specific <br />environmental factors which are addressed in order to insure protection of the natural <br />resources in the City and surrounding areas include: <br />· Groundwater Supply and Quality <br />· storrnwater Drainage/Surface Water Quality <br />· Erosion/Sedimentation .Control <br />· Shore land Management/Floodplain Protection <br />· Wetland Protection <br /> <br />Groundwater SUDDIv and QuarJtv. The impact of actions within Centerville regarding <br />groundwater extends beyond the City's limits. Contamination of groundwater from fertilizers, <br />herbicides, industry, construction, landfills and effluent form wastewater treatment facilities <br />may affect the quality of water retrieved from wells iocated in and surrounding the City. <br /> <br />Public Facilities. The City does not anticipate a need for any major public facility buildings in <br />the foreseeable future. Public and institutional uses include City government buildings, <br />schools, churches and medical facilities. The City will continue to conduct an ongoing <br />evaluation of public facilities and make improvements as needed. <br /> <br />Utilities Staaina Plan. Due to limited amount of land available within the City, it is anticipated <br />that all the developable land within the City will be serviced by water and sewer by the year <br />2015. The City will examine existing sewer and water assessment policies for their impact on <br />infrastructure replacement and development. New policies will be developed and <br />implemented as needed. <br /> <br />TransDOrtation The Anoka County Highway Department is considering options to improve <br />transportation between Interstate 35E and 35W highways that may include the expansion of <br />Main Street (County State Aid Highway 14). <br /> <br />Uno Lakes An area of Centerville's DWSMA #2 is in Uno Lakes including fIVe large <br />unde"eloped parcels of 15- to 4O-acres. Uno Lakes has tentatively zoned these areas for <br />future commercial and industrial development within the next 10 years. Uno Lakes requires <br />commercial and industrial development to include municipal sanitary sewer and water <br />services. <br /> <br />Wells and Well Probability <br />Early development within the City typically preceded the presence of the municipal water <br />supply system. As the City Initiated and expanded its water supply system, the homes and <br />other buildings with private well water systems were. encouraged to connect to the municipal <br />system. In certain cases homes and businesses, originally connected to the City's water <br />supply, have installed a private well for Irrigation or other purposes. Only the Minnesota <br />Department of Health may license well contractors and permit the construction of wells in the <br />City. <br /> <br />Wells represent a potential threat to groundwater resources if not properly sealed when they <br />are abandoned. Contamination that is spilled or leaked on the ground must migrate through <br />many layers of soils and geologic formations before entering deep aquifers typically used by <br />drinking water wells. This separation acts as a natural barrier requiring decades to centuries <br /> <br />July 3, 2007 <br /> <br />DRAFT <br />Centerville Wellhead Protection Plan (Part 2) <br /> <br />Page 5 <br /> <br />--------- ------------- ---~-------- - -.-------- <br /> <br />-----------~------- - <br />
