ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING FEBRUARY 25, 2009 <br /> <br />Open mike opened and closed at 6:35 p.m. <br /> <br />7. ACTION ITEMS <br /> <br /> None. <br /> <br />8. DISCUSSION ITEMS <br /> <br />A. Anoka Soil Water Conservation District/Rice Lake Stormwater <br />Retrofit/Nate Zwonitzer <br /> <br />Mr. Nate Zwonitzer from Anoka County Conservation District gave a <br />presentation to the Environmental Board members on the Rice Lake Stormwater <br />Retrofit Proposal. <br /> <br />Retrofit Goals consist of: Reducing the volume and pollutant load entering water <br />body of concern. Identify pollutant “hot-spots” within subwatershed: Prioritize <br />neighborhoods and project sites to maximize treatment per dollar spent and to <br />install retrofit projects. <br /> <br />Ms. O’Dea questioned why we want to reduce water. Mr. Zwonitzer stated when <br />you introduce impervious surfaces through new developments, we want to change <br />the way the water travels, not reduce it. <br /> <br /> Step 1: Retrofit Scoping = Screen for retrofit potential, define retrofitting <br />objectives and identify preferred treatment options. <br /> <br /> Step 2: Desktop Retrofit Analysis = Gather maps of stormwater practices, conduct <br />desktop search for retrofit sites and Prepare base maps. <br /> <br /> Step 3: Retrofit Reconnaissance Investigation = Verify stormwater mapping and <br />Investigate Feasibility of Retrofit Sites. <br /> <br /> Step 4: Retrofit Evaluation and Ranking = Compute volume and pollutant <br />reductions, compare results with restoration objectives and rank retrofit projects <br />according to effectiveness and cost. <br /> <br /> Step 5: Subwatershed Treatment Analysis = (Evaluation and Ranking) Conduct <br />neighborhood consultations, develop retrofit screening criteria and create retrofit <br />project priority list. <br /> Step 6: Finalize Designs = Obtain landowner approval, conduct bidding for <br />construction and assemble design packages. <br /> <br /> Step 7: Construction: Oversee BMP Installation. Conduct pre-construction <br />meetings and Inspect construction progress. <br />2
