Comprehensive Local Water Plan: MPCA-approved TMDL Implementation Plan or WRAPS: Other plans that refer to this project work: Start of project summary (four pages maximum) Project summary Your responses will be used by the MPCA for scoring. The description should require no more than four pages including the explanation statements. This is your opportunity to clearly explain and justify your proposed project. Make sure your responses address scoring criteria outlined in RFP Attachment A. Background Clearly identify water quality concerns and specifically define the type, location, and problem. Identify groundwater or water body use and explain how the groundwater or water body concerns are addressed in local and/or regional water plans. On January 1, 2020 the City of Mounds View is embarking on a major Water Preservation Program that will be known and logoed as the HOPP Program. The Vision/Mission will be Conserve and Protect - Ground/Drinking Water, Storm Water, and Sewer Water. Each of the three components will include engineering, enforcement and education components. A key component of the program is a point of sale/purchase lateral sewer line televising and rehabilitation requirement taking effect January 1, 2020. This grant funds that portion of the project that is specific to lateral sewer lines connecting real property to the city sewer line in the street. To date, less than 1 % of all laterals, vast majority installed pre -1970 have not been televised or rehabilitated via slip lining or excavation and replacements. From our meters at our lift stations, we estimate 30% of our volume is clear water seeping in thru root intrustions, seam failures and cracks. Our televising of our city lines over the past decade affirm signficant root intrustion as 80% of the city is heavily forested. The slip lining will ensure sanitary sewer discharge will stay in the pipe versus leakage via the lateral failures into the groundwater system. Additionally, another component we are working is the preservation and protection of our ground water, due to increased concerns of chloride in surface water. In addition to street sweeping on a regular basis, converting our salting operations in the winter from salt to brine, the city also intends, with the aid of this grant, to make low interest loans available to city residents to replace privately - owned, residential water softeners with more efficient softeners. Project impact Explain how the proposed project activities will lead to protection, enhancement, or restoration of the water of concern. Identify specific environmental, administrative, and social behavior outcomes and explain how they are meaningful to water condition improvement. Cite water quality data and reference water quality standards. Elimination of saniatary sewer dischage via failures in lateral pipes directly into the groundwater Reduction in chloride discharge to sanitary and/or storm water system via replacement of older, less efficient residential water softners with present day technology requireing less dependence on chloride to be effective.. Technical feasibility Thoroughly explain the project activities, including the scope, schedule and budget of the project. Explain the activity of the project sponsors in water planning or regulatory activities for NPS. Explain how the water of concern and its watershed have physical, hydrological, or other characteristics that can be worked with or worked around to obtain water quality protection. Along with the mandatory point of sale/purchase, the City will be promoting optional televising and rehab incentivised by zero or low interest loans. Recent homebuyers may choose to have their lines televised and if problems detected, can take advantage of low interest money to rehabilitate their line. This component of the program will be heavily marketed to the community. www.pca.state.mn.us 651-296-6300 • 800-657-3864 Use your preferred relay service Available in alternative formats wq-cwp7-35e • 9114116 Page 2 of 5
