Accordingly, the objective of the work is to complete the WHPA and DWSMA <br />delineation and assessments of well and aquifer vulnerability in a manner that meets Part 1 reporting <br />requirements per the Minnesota Wellhead Protection Rules. <br />It is our understanding that the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) held Scoping Meeting No. 1 for <br />development of Part 1 of Mounds View’s WHPP on May 13, 2010. The MDH issued Scoping Decision <br />Notice No. 1 to the City of Mounds View on June 1, 2010. The Scoping Decision Notice states that <br />Mounds View has until April 15, 2013 to complete Parts 1 and 2 of the WHPP. The MDH technical <br />reviewer for Part 1 of Mounds View’s WHPP will be Amal Djerrari. <br />The City of Mounds View currently uses six water supply wells. Two of the wells, Well 1 (Unique No. <br />206721) and Well 4 (Unique No. 206719), are open to multiple aquifers from the Franconia Formation to <br />the Mt. Simon Sandstone. Well 6 (Unique No. 206717) is open to multiple aquifers from the Jordan <br />Sandstone to the Mt. Simon Sandstone. Well 2 (Unique No. 206716) is open to only the Mt. Simon <br />Sandstone. Well 3 (Unique No. 206720) is open to only the Jordan Sandstone while Well 5 (Unique No. <br />206722) is open to the Prairie du Chien Group and Jordan Sandstone. <br /> <br />Scope of Work and Assumptions <br />The following scope of work is based on our review of Scoping Decision Notice No. 1, a brief telephone <br />discussion John Greer of Barr had with Nick DeBar, Public Works Director, and our experience with <br />developing Part 1 WHPPs. <br /> <br /> The City of Mounds View is required to send a Notification of Intent to prepare a WHPP to <br />surrounding local governmental units (LGUs). It is our understanding that the City does not <br />require Barr’s assistance with preparation of the Notification of Intent letter.
