While some of these types of defects can be resolved cost effectively using trenchless technology, the sever sags and offset joints should be corrected using conventional open trench methods and should be, if possible, coordinated with the City's street reconstruction program. 3.1.3.2 Inflow and Infiltration Reduction The City of Falcon Heights, like the majority of the communities in the metropolitan area, has spent considerable time and energy managing inflow and infiltration (I/I) within their sanitary sewer collection system. The Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) has implemented a surcharge program which is designed to encourage metro communities to reduce UI entering their portion of the sanitary collection system. While the City has not exceeded the pre-determined maximum peak level established by MCES the City should continue it's effort to minimize I/I and should prepare and implement an I/I reduction program. The UI reduction program would be used to isolate and prioritize sewer rehabilitation in the sanitary sewer collection system, both on the public and private side of the system. The City should continue with the cleaning and closed circuit television inspection, conducting a sewer rehabilitation program, including conducting follow-up inspections in neighborhoods with significant I/I potential, and develop a service lateral inspection and repair program. 4.0 Storm Water Management 4.1 Purpose of Storm Water Management Plan The City has developed this Water Resources Management Plan (WRMP) section of the City's Comprehensive Plan to meet regulatory requirements, and to plan for future alterations in the existing drainage system due to redevelopment activities. The City is within the Capitol Region Watershed District (CRWD), the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization, and the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD), as shown on Figure 9, on the following page. The CRWD completed its Stormwater Management Plan in 2000, and the RCWD completed its Water Resource Management Plan in 1997. Since the City is located entirely within two watershed districts that implement extensive surface water management programs, and the lack of surface water features within the City, the City wishes to use this section to serve as its local water plan. The City will continue to work to ensure the City's Goals and Policies and Development Standards are consistent with both Watershed Districts as the plans and rules are revised. Most of the City is located within the Capital Region Watershed District, and the City uses their plan and rules as a guide to implementing stormwater management policies within the City. The City is completely developed with a mix of commercial, residential, public, and open space uses. The public space consists of the University of Minnesota - St. Paul Campus and the State Fairgrounds. TComprehensive Plan UpdateT AFAL000701.00 • City of Falcon Heights Page 18
