2008 Mounds View Comprehensive Plan ________________________________________________________________________ Chapter 5: Public Facilities 5-8 Mounds View has an active program to reduce excessive inflow and infiltration (I/I) of its sanitary sewer system. The City’s Public Works Department annually performs cleaning and televised inspection of approximately one quarter of the wastewater system. Staff will note any offset joints, cracks in pipes, and leaking manholes during these inspections. The City has been budgeting at least $50,000 a year to seal these leaks. Future street reconstruction projects will result in either new sanitary sewer mains or the installation of in-place linings. In 2004, Mounds View began an inspection program looking for illicit sanitary sewer connections. The City completed this program in 2006. Surface Water Management Mounds View’s Local Surface Water Management Plan (LSWMP) will be officially adopted in 2009 and has been developed to serve as a comprehensive planning document to guide the City in conserving, protecting, and managing its surface water resources. In addition, the LSWMP is prepared in compliance with the Metropolitan Surface Water Management Act, Minnesota Rules 8410, and the requirements of the Rice Creek Watershed District. The LSWMP provides an inventory of water resource related information including the results of assessments conducted by other governmental units, both local and state. From this inventory and assessment, Mounds View sets forth its goals and policies and implementation program. The LSWMP is organized as follows: • Section 1 offers an introduction to and purpose of the Plan, including a location map of Mounds View, a map showing the watershed management organizations having jurisdiction in Mounds View, and a list of the organizations responsible for implementing the plan. • Section 2 of this Plan provides an inventory of land and water resources within the City including a description of the physical setting, available and pertinent water resources data, and land use maps. • Section 3 includes a comprehensive documentation of the regulatory agencies influencing the management of surface water resources in Mounds View. • Section 4 describes plans, studies, and rules related to surface water management in Mounds View. • Section 5 identifies the surface water management agreements between Mounds View and other entities. • Section 6 provides a current assessment of surface water management in Mounds View, including surface water modeling, National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting process, comparison of regulatory standards, and identification of issues and corrective actions. • Section 7 lists the goals and policies identified to address surface water management needs in the City. • Section 8 identifies implementation projects and activities to address assessment items from Section 6 and the goals and policies from Section 7.
