the City will have 2,450 sewered households and 1,210 sewered employees by 2030. The Metropolitan Disposal System with its planned scheduled improvements has, or will have, adequate capacity to serve these needs. The Update provides sanitary flow projections in 10-year increments. The bases for the projections were given in the Update and were determined appropriate for planning local services. The City is not currently a community that has been identified as a community impacted by wet weather occurrences. The Update however does include an Inflow & Infiltration (III) reduction plan, which includes regularly televising the sewer mains. City code and policies prohibit the connection of sump pumps, downspouts, foundation drains, and other passive drain tiles and stormwater sources to the sanitary sewer system. Tier II Comments Reviewer: Roger Janzig, ES - Engineering Services, (651-602-1119) The City's Tier II Sewer Element is complete and consistent with Council policies for Tier II Comprehensive Sewer Plans. The Council's approval of the Tier II Plan becomes effective upon the City's adoption of the Update. At that time, the City may alter, expand, or improve its sewage disposal system consistent with the approved Tier II Sewer Plan. A copy of the City Council resolution adopting the final Update needs to be submitted to the Metropolitan Council for its records. Surface Water Management Reviewer: Judy Sventek, ES - Water Resources Assessment, 651-602-1156 The City lies entirely within the Rice Creek Watershed. The Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) approved Rice Creek Watershed District's watershed plan in 1997. The Update includes new information for local surface water management plans as required by the Council's 2030 Water Resources Management Policy Plan, in addition to referencing the City's 2004 Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP). Council staff finds that the new surface water management information combined with the 2004 SWMP conform to Council policy and fulfill the requirements for local surface water management plans. As noted in the Update, the Rice Creek Watershed District is in the process of updating its watershed management plan and is scheduled to have a new plan in 2009. After BWSR approves the watershed plan, the City will have two years to update its SWMP. The updated SWMP should include the new information contained in the Update, as well as information addressing all of the new Watershed District requirements. The City needs to submit to the Council thc date that the Watershed District approved its 2004 SWMP and the date that the City adopted the final SWMP.
