• City of Minneapolis <br /> U.S.EPA STORM WATER REGULATIONS <br /> Meeting with City of St. Anthony <br /> July 31, 1991 <br /> St. Anthony's Concerns <br /> 1. Whether St. Anthony should (or must) be part of Minneapolis' Storm Water Program <br /> 2. Distribution of cost among co-applicants <br /> 3. Total cost to St. Anthony - for permit application and after issuance of permit <br /> 4. If St. Anthony agrees to be co-applicant or co-permittee, then what information must <br /> be prepared to add to permit application? <br /> 1. Minneapolis' Premise of Area to be Permitted <br /> * Minneapolis is concerned about the quality of storm water which is being discharged <br /> to Rivers and Lakes within the city limits. <br /> * If the outfall structure is within the City Limits of Minneapolis, then the entire area <br /> which contributes to that drainage system should be permitted, independent of <br /> ownership of storm drain or jurisdiction of drainage area. The MPCA has verbally <br /> accepted this concept. <br /> * Approximately 593 acres of St. Anthony drains through the Hennepin County and <br /> MnDOT storm drains and tunnel which discharges to the Mississippi River at I-35W <br /> within the City Limits of Minneapolis. <br /> • * The St. Anthony drainage area is approximately 1.2% of the total Minneapolis <br /> drainage area <br /> 2. Distribution of Cost Participation Among Co-Applicants <br /> * Calculation based on a simple percentage of total drainage area. <br /> * Total storm water runoff drainage area of Minneapolis is still being calculated. <br /> Preliminary estimate is 35,000 acres. <br /> 3. Total Cost to St. Anthony <br /> * St. Anthony may choose to file a separate application or become a co-applicant with <br /> Minneapolis. <br /> * Co-Applicant does not imply Co-Permittee. St. Anthony may be a co-applicant with <br /> Minneapolis, and decide at a later date to negotiate a separate permit with the MPCA. <br /> * Cost for permit application: <br /> Minneapolis has estimated a cost of$200,000 to $500,000 to put together the <br /> permit application (in 1991 and 1992). <br /> * Cost to meet conditions in permit: <br /> In 1992, it is the responsibility of the co-applicants to propose programs (and <br /> estimate the cost) which will improve the quality of storm water runoff. <br /> Typical programs may include an increased frequency of street sweeping, <br /> regulation/enforcement of fertilizers, construction of containment/treatment <br /> ponds, emergency spill response procedures, methods to detect and eliminate <br /> illegal connections to the storm drains, etc. The final cost to St. Anthony is <br /> dependent on which programs it chooses to implement. <br />_ • 1 <br />
