5. ACTION ITEMS
A. Consider Feasibility Study of Stormwater Reuse /Mattamy Homes
Mr. Asleson stated that the term stormwater reuse is used to describe water that is
collected on-site and utilized in a new application. The Mattamy proposed development
called Watermark is still a concept plan but is in the study area.
Ms. Diane Hankee, city engineer from WSB, said the feasibility study will evaluate water
reuse options at the proposed Matttamy development. Water reuse may include irrigation
and infiltration systems within public open spaces. The purpose to water reuse is to
utilize water resources sustainably, to use water as many times as feasible and to satisfy
watershed volume reduction requirements.
Mr. Heiskary noted that this is a good time to do the study and the mentioned area does
have drainage problems.
Ms. Hankee said that Mattamy Homes does have an interest in doing a stormwater reuse

A. Discussion of Integrated Water Management Plans for Local Government
Units
Mr. Asleson discussed the increased awareness both locally and regionally of the surface
water and groundwater resources.
Internally, city staff has been discussing with WSB, city engineer, opportunities for
improving the efficient use of both surface water and groundwater resources. At this
time staff is requesting that the Environmental Board make recommendations for a study
that would address the relationship between growth, and water use. The study would
produce an Integrated Water Management Plan.
Mr. Asleson introduce Ms. Diane Hankee, city engineer from WSB. The city did apply
for the grant which is from the clean water fund from the Environmental and Natural
Resources Trust Fund. The fund is for mainly for research not for implementation of the
plan. The funding is quite competitive. The cities of Hugo and Rosemount are also
included in this request. Funds would be available in 2016 and no local match funding is
required.
Mr. Heiskary stated that we should let council know that the study was well received and
the Environmental Board will look forward to the outcome.
