The aquifer vulnerability in the Mounds View DWSMA is classified as Low or Moderate. Therefore, the City's Wellhead and Source Water Protection Program is targeting properties with potential contaminant sources including non -municipal wells, potential Class V wells (consisting of only properties associated with automotive repair since no large scale septic systems serving more than 20 people or cesspools were identified in the DWSMA), and storage tanks within the DWSMA. The City will also focus on educating city staff, residents, and business owners of the City of Mounds View, as well as those in the portions of the cities of Arden Hills, Blaine, Lexington, New Brighton, and Shoreview within the DWSMA, regarding wellhead and source water protection. In addition, the City of Mounds View will compile new or updated information for future revisions of the WHPP. The following goals have been identified for Mounds View's Wellhead and Source Water Protection Program: • The City will work to maintain or improve the current level of water quality so that the municipal water supply will continue to meet or exceed all applicable state and federal water quality standards. • Since the Mounds View DWSMA extends into surrounding cities, the City of Mounds View will, to the extent possible and practicable, work with the surrounding cities with the goal of protecting the source water aquifers. e The City will provide information and promote activities that protect the City's source water aquifer. This will result in increased public awareness of the Wellhead and Source Water Protection Program and groundwater -related issues and include activities to manage the identified potential contaminant sources within the DWSMA. • The City will continue to compile data from their wells and available public sources to support future wellhead and source water protection efforts. These goals will be accomplished through implementation of this WHPP. The goals for the City of Mound View's Wellhead and Source Water Protection Program will be achieved through the following existing and planned programs: • Well management 1. Encouraging the proper sealing of all unused wells within the DWSMA. 2. Encouraging proper management of existing wells with in the DWSMA. • Potential contaminant source properties 1. Providing information to owners of properties that may contain Class V wells. 2. Provide information to owners of properties where storage tanks are located that will encourage proper operation and maintenance of the storage tank. 3. Periodically obtain information on the status of wells and storage tanks in the DWSMA from the regulating agencies to maintain an up-to-date potential contaminant source database for the DWSMA and allow timely recognition of PAMpIs\23 MN\62\23621059 Mounds View Wellhead Prot Plan\WorkFilesTart-2—WHPP\Moands View Part 2 WHPP_final.donx 2
