would probably be more water available for re-use than would be used, and <br /> opined that the balancing act would be for parks to be usable but also make the <br /> best use of natural resources. <br /> Specific to the B-Dale Club project, even though this was still in the design <br /> stages, Mr. Johnson advised that this would be a partnership with the Capitol <br /> Region Watershed District for re-use of the sewer feed through the Villa Park <br /> system; to remove pollutants currently running into McCarron's Lake. <br /> At the request of Members, Mr. Johnson provided a definition of the <br /> "hydrodynamic separator" proposed for this project for both short- and long-term <br /> infiltration in clearing off and filtering sediments from the pipe as part of that <br /> process. Mr. Johnson advised that he would be working closely with Parks & <br /> Recreation staff to make sure as much water as possible was processed and re- <br /> used. <br /> Mr. Johnson briefly reviewed a proposed 2015 PMP project at Victoria and <br /> County Road B for wetland clean-up with city-owned access to the filtration basin <br /> and pond; sonar data collection in cooperation with the RCD for Lake <br /> McCarron's vegetation on the west end and from Villa Park; addressing <br /> remaining Lake Owasso direct discharges, with only a handful remaining — from <br /> both private and city-owned properties — and working cooperatively with the <br /> Ramsey-Washington Metro Area Watershed District, and provided pictures of <br /> several of those direct discharges. <br /> At the request of Chair Vanderwall, Mr. Johnson agreed to look at and add to his <br /> list the pond at Western and County Road C with four direct discharges and one <br /> direct out, all unfiltered and running fast during big storm events and containing a <br /> lot of sediment. <br /> Mr. Johnson advised that, while Lake Owasso is not yet considered an impaired <br /> body, it is close to being designated as such. <br /> Regarding private party best management practices (BMP's) and MS4 <br /> requirements, Mr. Johnson advised that he would be checking previous <br /> installations to ensure they continued to function as designed and that they were <br /> being properly maintained. Mr. Johnson reviewed examples of inspections, types <br /> of installation; and advised that the intent would be to map and inventory them <br /> and thereby comply with the checklist developed as part of the MS4 permit from <br /> the City's side. <br /> Discussion ensued regarding the City's well-established Storm Water <br /> Management Fund, good relationships with area watershed districts and <br /> cooperative ventures to capture grant monies and partner with other agencies and <br /> jurisdictions to allow projects as outlined by Mr. Johnson. <br /> Page 10 of 13 <br />
