13 SPRING CREEK REGIONAL WATER QUALITY POND On May 24, 2004, the City Council approved Resolution 6266 authorizing the preparation of a preliminary feasibility report and consultant selection for the construction of the Spring Creek Regional Sedimentation Pond to be located south of Woodale Drive. The City’s Capital Improvement Program had the creation of a feasibility report for a regional sedimentation pond to be located south of Woodale Drive scheduled for 2004. The adopted 2004 Budget had allocated in the Storm Water fund $15,000.00 for a feasibility report for the creation of this sedimentation pond. As part of the permit for the 2003 Street Improvement Project, the Rice Creek Watershed District required a letter from the City “stating its intent to enhance water quality treatment for this area and outlining specifics on the future regional practice mentioned for the Spring Lake Road trunk storm sewer system“. What the Watershed was looking for is written commitment from the City to perform regional storm water treatment. With the City intending to perform another Street Major Maintenance Project in 2005 and given that the neighborhood streets proposed to be included in the 2005 project are located in the same are as the Spring Creek Regional Sedimentation Pond, it is certain that the Watershed will require that this pond be constructed with the 2005 Street Project. Work on the feasibility report has begun. Data collection was initiated in November. On November 17, 2004 a notice was sent out to all properties in this area. PROGRAM AVENUE / COUNTY ROAD H2 CURVE ANALYSIS On October 11, 2004 the City Council approved Resolution 6369 approving and authorizing the execution of a Letter Agreement with BRAA for the investigation and development of vehicle safety measures at Program Avenue and County Road H2 Curve. BRAA is working on a report that will provide recommendations of measures that can be taken to make that curve safer. A draft of the report will be submitted in early 2005. WELL NUMBER 4 REHABILITATION Well Number 4 has been out of service since 1992, due to water quality issues. It is located at the southeast corner of Edgewood Drive and Hillview Road. The cost and issues of making it operational are being studied by the engineering firm of Short, Elliot, Hendrickson Inc. (SEH). A water quality analysis of the water contained within the aquifer from which Well Number 4 pumps was performed. The tests indicated that the contaminants can be effectively treated at Treatment Plant No. 1. A draft feasibility report, including cost estimates to bring Well No. 4 on line, will be submitted to the City in early 2005. Staff will present the draft report to City Council and seek direction for further action. The City’s Capital Improvement Program has this listed as a potential project in 2008. However, based on the data contained within the draft feasibility report, that schedule status may change or the project could be eliminated if it was determined that it was not cost effective and in the City’s best interest.
