WSB & <br />Associates, Inc. has prepared a Feasibility Study for the Mississippi Watershed Management <br />Organization outlining the benefits and anticipated costs of the proposed project. <br />This project is proposed to be constructed in the spring and summer of 2008 to coincide with the <br />reconstruction of Silver Lake Road. The timing for this project is important, as coordination with <br />Hennepin County's contractor and the City's contractor for construction of the improvements is <br />necessary to minimize the duplication of restoration and construction issues associated with the <br />reuse project. <br />WSB & Associates, Inc. have been working closely with St. Anthony Village, Hennepin County, <br />Hennepin County's consultant, Rice Creed Watershed District, Metropolitan Council, the MPGA, <br />the Minnesota Department of Health, and the Minnesota Board of Water & Soil Resources on <br />identifying the issues and benefits associated with the reuse project. <br />Furthermore, the Rice Creek Watershed District has tentatively agreed to accept the water reuse <br />project as fulfilling the permit requirements for the Silver Lake Road improvements. In addition, <br />Rice Creek Watershed District has committed $50,000 in funds toward the completion of the water <br />reuse project and Hennepin County has tentatively agreed to provide the stormwater collection <br />system and the site restoration. <br />This project proposes a number of benefits which were previously discussed in my introductory <br />letter to the Resolution associated with receiving the Mississippi Watershed Management <br />Organization grant. <br />K\1745-02\AI)MIN\I)OCS\I, r2-6ince 2— 120407.doo <br />
