Keene reported that the Council, during the past five years, as a result of the Long Lake Road reconstruction, asked SEH to complete two studies to see what impacts certain drainage areas would have on the Long Lake Road project. One was the Ardan Avenue drainage district and the other is the Edgewood drainage district. Mr. Keene listed • those projects that were identified that would need to be constructed in association with Long Lake Road and those that were impacted by the Long Lake Road Project. Mr. Keene stated that SEH worked. with City staff when the plan was written to determine some projects that have to be done in addition to the others throughout the City. Most of these projects are maintenance projects such as storm sewer outlets, outlet modifications, and sedimentation ponds, and controlling the City's water quality. Keene reported that the final area that was looked at in the Plan was the feasibility studies. The purpose of these studies are related to wetland issues. .All the wetland issues have had a feasibility study connected to them. There are other projects including street sweeping, general maintenance of the storm .sewer system and general cleaning listed in the Plan. Ditch cleaning, catch basin repair and cleaning, street sweeping is an important water quality aspect which could also be funded by the Plan. Wetlands are another important issue and, therefore, sedimentation removal should be a part of the Plan. Mr. Keene gave a history of the City's storm sewer structure. Much of this system was built in the 1950's. A major portion of the storm sewer was constructed for sanitary sewer and not necessarily for storm water drainage. The total construction of future projects identified in the Plan will cost $1.2 million. The only projects to take place within the next five years are the feasibility studies.
