2. The Congress needs to pass a new Clean Water Act <br />that provides an appropriate federal share of the cost of <br />further water quality improvements. <br />These actions will, in turn, provide. the necessary financing <br />so the sewer separation program can be carried out rapidly <br />and outstate communities can get on with improving their <br />water quality. <br />3. Minneapolis, St. Paul and South St. Paul need to <br />complete their planning for sewer separations, which is <br />currently under way. <br />4. The Metropolitan Council needs to amend its Water <br />Resources Management Development Guide to include the <br />separation projects. The changes are scheduled for early <br />1985. The Council also needs to give an earlier - than - planned <br />go -ahead to three regional sewer interceptor projects that <br />are planned as part of the sewer separation solution. <br />Estimated cost of the regional interceptors is about $20 <br />million. <br />These proposals represent the Metropolitan Council's <br />position as of the publication date shown below. They may <br />change between now and the 1985 session of the Minnesota <br />Legislature. If you have questions or comments about the <br />proposals, please call the Council's Communications <br />Department at 291 -6464. <br />Nov. 1, 1984 <br />Publication No. 13 -84 -152 <br />13 <br />
