A. Motor Fuel Station, 7997 Lake Dr/Environmental Review
DRAFT MINUTES 1
ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING March 30, 2011
Mr. Asleson presented his staff report on the proposed Motor Fuel Station at 7997
Lake Drive. The site had a gas station/convenience store until it was shut down in
2009 at which time the fuel tanks were removed. The owner would like to install
a new canopy with gas pumps and fuel tanks. Reconstruction of this site will
increase the impervious surface.
The Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for this site allows the gas station to continue
on this site as it previously operated. The CUP would allow expansion of the
number of fuel pumps and a larger canopy.
Mr. Asleson stated we need to investigate the unused well on the property.
Ms. O'Dea would like shrubbery added on corner of the site.
Ms. Klaman recommends River Birch instead of the Japanese Tree Lilac.
Ms. Klaman states consider adding raingarden on west side of building to capture
roof water.
Ms. Klebba questioned the well. Mr. Asleson stated if they want to use fine, if
they are not going to use, would like them to fill the well. Huge study going on
now in Anoka County in regards to ground water. Wells are a huge consideration.
Mr. Asleson will ask the developer /owner to do this.
Mr. Asleson stated to add the following recommendations:
Lighting. The lights meet our code standards. Lighting should be turned off
during times of store closure. The site proposed photometric shows zero lumens
at the property line. This also meets our city code.
Pump Island: Pump Island must have an approved designed catchment for
contaminants to prevent illicit discharge stated Mr. Asleson.
Stormwater Pollution Prevention and Storm Water Attenuation
For any project site disturbance determines the level of stormwater management.
This project will create 3,572 SF of new impervious and disturb 10,629 SF. The
RMP is not applicable at this level of activity.
Landscaping: Per Mr. Asleson's staff report.
Natural Resources: There are no unique communities within 1500 feet of this
site. There are no modeled geomorphic features that would support threatened
and endangered species on this site or anywhere near this site.

AGENDA ITEM 6A
Tim Payne, Streets & Stormwater Supervisor
April 27, 2011
Public Hearing: Annual Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Program
N/A
In compliance with the provisions of the Clean Water Act, as amended, (33 U.S.C. 1251
et. Seq., 40CFR 122, 123 and 124, as amended et seq.); Minnesota Statutes Chapters 115
and 116, as amended, and Minnesota Rules Chapter 7001, the City of Lino Lakes has
adopted a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and authorized its submittal
to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency as part of the City's application for
enrollment in the State of Minnesota's General National Pollution Discharge Elimination
System Phase II Permit program. The permit authorizes the City to discharge storm
water.
As part of the SWPPP, the City must solicit public input at an annual meeting required
under the Public Education and Outreach Plan including:
• A presentation about implementation of the City's Surface Water Pollution
Prevention Program in 2010.
• Affording interested persons an opportunity to make oral statements
concerning the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program.
• Consideration of relevant written materials that interested persons submit
concerning the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program.
• Consideration of public input in making adjustments to the 2011
implementation plan for the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program.
ANALYSIS:
According to the 1996 National Water Quality Inventory, stormwater runoff is a leading
source of water pollution. Stormwater runoff can harm surface waters such as rivers,
lakes, and streams which in turn cause or contribute to water quality standards being
exceeded.
Stormwater runoff can change natural hydrologic patterns, accelerate stream flows,
destroy aquatic habitats, and elevate pollutant concentrations and loadings. Development
substantially increases impervious surfaces thereby increasing runoff from city streets,
driveways, parking lots, and sidewalks, on which pollutants from human activities settle.
Common pollutants in runoff include pesticides, fertilizers, oils, metals, pathogens, salt,
sediment, litter and other debris are transported via stormwater and discharged —
untreated — to water resources through storm sewer systems.
The Stormwater Program for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4's) is
designed to reduce the amount of sediment and pollution that enters surface and ground
water from storm sewer systems to the maximum extent practicable. Stormwater
discharges associated with MS4's are regulated through the use of National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits. NPDES permits are legal documents.
Through this permit, the City is required to develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Program (SWPPP) that incorporates Best Management Practices (BMP's) applicable to
their MS4. Below is a list of the accomplishments of the City of Lino Lakes in
implementing identified best management practices (BMP's).
2010 Best Management Practice Implementation and Accomplishments:
Public Education and Outreach
• Quarterly newsletter articles on residential clean-water initiatives to increase public
involvement in the following: resident BMP's for their property to improve surface
water runoff quality including pet -waste management, soil management, irrigation
management, water conservation, and impervious surface management.
• Maintained a kiosk of information on environmental issues such as recycling, water
quality improvement, forestry issues, and NPDES Phase IUMS4 fact sheets for
residents.
• Held an Arbor Day Celebration at Lino Lakes Elementary and hosted Tricia and the
Toones who tailored their entertainment/presentation to recycling and importance to
clean water issues.
• Maintained Blue Thumb membership with the Rice Creek Watershed District
(RCWD).
• Maintained a page on the City Website related to NPDES requirements for MS4's and
Best Management Practices for residents.
Public Participation and Involvement
• Held public meeting on April 28, 2010 pertaining the purpose, goals and requirements
of the City SWPPP.
• Solicited comments, suggestions and questions from the public.
• No plan adjustment at this time.
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
• Continued to improve and update a GIS map and spatial database of the City's storm
sewer system.
• Created an Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Plan that includes procedures,
report form, identification of non - stormwater flows, etc.
• Refreshed field staff to the Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) Plan
and discussed their role within the plan.
• Developed an Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination regulatory mechanism
within a comprehensive stormwater ordinance.
• City employees continue to attend and maintain NPDES /stormwater related
certifications from the State of Minnesota..
Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control
• The City performs regular site inspection of all construction sites under NPDES
permits (68 notices of violation and 6 correction orders at constructions sites in 2009).
• Contractor education packets were sent out to 23 construction contractors and
homebuilders just prior to construction season.
• The City is developing an erosion prevention and sediment control regulatory
mechanism within a comprehensive stormwater ordinance (completed 2011).
Post - construction Stormwater Management in New Development and Redevelopment
• The City monitors post construction BMP performance & runoff of public facilities
through regular site inspections.
• City staff frequently functions as the "eyes" for commercial and industrial facilities
(i.e., identifying and reporting BMP deficiencies).
• The City continues to develop a database of private facilities to ensure future
adherence to maintenance agreements.
• Collaborated with RCWD and ACD to study a potential raingarden retrofit project
within the Rice Lake watershed to accomplish volume and nutrient reduction.
• Developing a Post Construction Runoff from New and Redevelopment regulatory
mechanism within a comprehensive stormwater ordinance (completed 2011).
Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
• Continue to train City field staff (public works) in the areas of illicit discharge,
construction site practices, and pollution prevention.
• The City sweeps all impervious surfaces twice a year. Street sweepings occur in early
spring as weather allows and again in the fall after leaf off and prior to hydrant
flushing.
• The City annually inspects all structural pollution control devices such as trap
manholes, grit chambers, sumps, and other settling or filter devices and retains
inspection information. The City inspects 20% of the MS4 outfalls, sediment basins
and ponds each year and retains inspection information. Inspections in 2010 included
82 structural pollution prevention devices, 68 ponds, 138 outfalls (100 %), 341 catch
basins /manholes, 71 aprons /flared end sections.
• Prioritized 6 surface water maintenance projects
2011 Best Management Practice and Implementation Goals
• Continue raingarden installation projects
• Continue education initiatives
• Continue to utilize a full time NPDES inspector
• Continue to promote school and volunteer participation
