At the request of Member Wozniak, Mr. Johnson advised that staff anticipated <br /> sending letters out this fall, and agreed to copy the PWETC on the letter for their <br /> information and feedback. <br /> In the type of material being removed, Mr. Johnson reported that so far, the city <br /> had not encountered a huge cost with most materials classified as Type 1 or Type <br /> 2, and not the contaminated Type 3 where excavation and disposal costs double <br /> do to it being classified as hazardous waste. Mr. Johnson noted this is always an <br /> unknown going into a maintenance project until a testing of the materials removed <br /> had been done, and greatly impacting annual construction plans and maintenance. <br /> Mr. Johnson advised that the city was proposing $100,000 annually going forward <br /> to achieve protection of its key resources, specifically around Lake McCarrons <br /> and Lake Owasso. <br /> Member Lenz asked if Shoreview was as aggressive as Roseville with this <br /> maintenance, noting that the City of Roseville was the recipient of a lot of <br /> sediment coming through the system from Shoreview. <br /> Mr. Johnson opined that they are as aggressive, and mentioned several joint cost- <br /> share projects undertaken by the Cities of Shoreview and Roseville (Valley Park), <br /> noting the great partnership achieved to-date. <br /> At the request of Chair Cihacek, Mr. Johnson reported on cost-share opportunities <br /> with other adjacent communities and how proactive the cooperative efforts had <br /> proven, since the results benefit all communities in the region. Especially of note, <br /> Mr. Johnson noted those communities appreciating Roseville taking the initial <br /> lead on the specifications and work with contractors, with their only role to chip <br /> in cost-share for the project, making it much more amenable for those other <br /> communities, while they still received credit for stormwater maintenance on their <br /> individual MS4's as well. <br /> As part of his presentation, Mr. Johnson reviewed various BMPs in 2015 and <br /> impacts for stormwater treatment, costs related to each, and favorable results for <br /> public and private property in reducing drainage. <br /> Mr. Johnson concluded his presentation by addressing minimum control measures <br /> and their specific costs going forward; MS4 work, OSHA training and right-to- <br /> know training for all applicable staff citywide; all totaling approximately <br /> $536,000 annually for this MS4-related work. <br /> Mr. Johnson encouraged Roseville residents and business owners to consult the <br /> Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPGA) website for additional information <br /> on efforts they could take to protect stormwater. Mr. Johnson confirmed that <br /> references and links were included in city communication efforts for interested <br /> parties to receive more detailed information and to follow-up efforts. <br /> Page 11 of 17 <br />
