MN 55304 <br /> <br />April 20, 2009 <br /> <br />Mr. Dallas Larson <br />City of Centerville <br />1880 Main Street <br />Centerville, MN 55038 <br /> <br />Re: Campground Visitor Center Utility Improvements - Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park <br /> <br />Mr. larson, <br />Anoka County Parks and Recreation is anticipating both water and septic utility improvements will be <br />required for the proposed Campground Visitor Center Facility. The utility improvements are anticipated <br />to begin summer of 2009. <br /> <br />Water <br />Water is planned to be provided through an eXisting well located onsite approximateiy 130 LF west of the <br />proposed building facility. Approximately 130 LF of waterline will be installed at a depth below frost level. <br />Water quality tests have been completed for (Nitrate Nitrogen, Coliform Bacteria and Arsenic) as required <br />by the Minnesota Department of Health and has been determined the well does meet State requirements <br />for drinking water. A pump test has also been completed to determine the water capacity of the existing <br />well and has been identified at 30 GPM. Water use for the building facility is anticipated to be between <br />40-100 gallons of water per day on average for work staff and park visitors. It is anticipated additional <br />water use will occur in the event of a park program. The building occupancy for the visitor center is 50 <br />occupants and it is estimated approximatelv 250 gallons of additional water may be used per event <br />assuming the building occupancy is filled. It has been determined the existing well will provide adequate <br />water capacity for the proposed Campground Visitor Center. <br /> <br />Sanitarv <br />Sanitary sewer is planned to connect into existing City Sanitary Services for the Campground Visitor <br />Center within the next 3-5 years. In the interim period, a septic holding tank will be used for sanitary <br />waste and is anticipated to be located on the southwest side of the building. Anoka County Parks will plan <br />to pump the septic holding tank during the interim period until the sanitary connections are complete. It <br />is estimated the tanks will have to be pumped two times a year. Future, sanitary improvements will <br />consist of connecting the existing dump station and Campground Visitor Center into the existing sanitary <br />forcemain located near the cul-de-sac on Mound Trail which already serves the Centerville Beach facility. <br />It is anticipated the proposed sanitary lines will be installed at a depth below frost level. After the <br />sanitary improvements have been completed and are in operation, Anoka County Parks and Recreation <br />Department plans to bring the existing septic drainfield that serves the campground dump station offline. <br /> <br />If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 763-767-2864 or via em ail at <br />scott. von ke(alco, a noka. m n.us. <br /> <br />iePII "I~ <br /> <br />Scott Yonke, Landscape Architect <br />Anoka County Parks and Recreation <br /> <br />OPEN SPACES IN NEARBY PLACES <br /> <br />'''~'''''.h <br /> <br />Phone: 763.757.3920 <br /> <br />WNW.anokacountyparks.com <br /> <br />Fax: 763.755.0230 <br /> <br />3~j <br />
