COMPREHENSIVE SEWER PLAN Introduction September 15, 2020 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 REGULATORY FRAMEWORK The Metropolitan Land Planning Act (amended 1995) requires local governments to prepare comprehensive plans and submit them to the Metropolitan Council to determine their consistency with metropolitan system plans. The local comprehensive plan is to include a wastewater plan element covering the collection and disposal of wastewater generated by the community. Similarly, the Metropolitan Sewer Act requires local governments to submit a Comprehensive Sewer Plan (CSP) which describes the current and future service needs required from the Metropolitan Council. The Metropolitan Council's 2040 Water Resources Policy Plan (2040 WRPP) lays out requirements for the wastewater plan element of the comprehensive plan as well as the Comprehensive Sewer Plan. For simplicity, the Metropolitan Council has combined the required elements of both plans into a single set of criteria, contained in the 2040 WRPP. This 2018 Mounds View CSP addresses the criteria of the 2040 WRPP. It provides growth projections, design parameters for the existing sanitary sewer system, proposed improvements to or expansion of the system, and strategies for addressing excessive infiltration and inflow in the system. 1.2 PHYSICAL SETTING Mounds View is an established residential community of small town charm and friendly folks, located primarily in northwestern Ramsey County. The City is mostly developed, and there have not been significant changes to land use or zoning in the last decade. Relatively small residential developments have been constructed along Highway 10, and more are planned. These residential developments are located in areas that are already urbanized. Bordering communities include Blaine to the north, Arden Hills and Shoreview to the east, Fridley and Spring Lake Park to the west, and New Brighton to the south, as shown in Figure 1-1. The City of Mounds View was established in 1958 and has a total land area of 2,630 acres. The City is fully urbanized with a diverse residential population and a variety of commercial and industrial development. Quick access to three major highways allows for convenient transportation to neighboring communities and the entire metro area.
