ATHONY TO INITIATE ITS UI PROGRAM AND MEET ITS III GOALS ESTABLISHED BY THE METROPOLITAN COUCIL WHEREAS: 1. The City of St. Anthony(hereinafter referred to as "City")has submitted a comprehensive plan amendment to reconstruct its Harding Street Lift Station that will discharge both sanitary wastewater and clear water from passive drain tile to a Minneapolis trunk sewer; and 2. This discharge to the Minneapolis system will increase the peak wet weather flows to the Metropolitan Disposal System; and 3. The City has developed a program for the reduction of I/I from private property to meet the PI goals for the City as established by the Metropolitan Council (hereinafter referred to as "Council"); and 4. Under the current Council's I/I study and Council's UI program, the Council's • PI goal for the City is fixed and ongoing and the Council expects the City to meet this goal within a five year period and to keep its flows within this range after that; and 5. The Council has approved the comprehensive plan amendment with the condition that the City enter into this agreement committing the City to a time schedule for the implementation of their I/I program to meet these PI goals; and 6. The City intend to complete its non-voluntary home inspection program within ten years of the date of this Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, The Metropolitan Council and the City of St. Anthony hereby agree as follows: 1. Approval of City's Comprehensive Plan Amendment. On October 25, 2000 the Council approved the City's Comprehensive Plan Amendment to reconstruct its Harding Street Lift Station contingent upon the City's agreement to the terms of this Agreement. • 1 2. Subsequent to the Council's approval of the City's Comprehensive Plan Amendment, the Council informed the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency that the Council has no objection to the issuance of a sewer extension permit for the Harding Street Lift Station project. 3. Upon execution of the Agreement by both parties, the City agrees to implement the following private property M source reduction program. a. Point of Sale Removal—As existing homes within the City are sold, the City will administer an ongoing program requiring an inspection of the plumbing system. If either sump pumps or passive drain tile are found that discharge clear water to the sanitary sewer system, their discharge will be routed away from the sanitary sewer. b. Public Education Program by Target Area— The City will begin a public education program in 2001 by target areas that will be completed in 2003. This program will inform the City's residents of the impacts of clear water entering the sanitary sewer system and of the City's program to have these systems disconnected from the sanitary sewer system. c. Technical and Inspection Assistance to Property Owners—The City will provide technical and inspection assistance to property owners to support • the voluntary removal program. The technical and inspection assistance program will begin in 2001 and extend through 2003 and is intended to help motivate home owners to disconnect either sump pumps or passive drain tile from the sanitary sewer system. d. Review of Effectiveness— At the end of 2002 the City and the Council will review the effectiveness of the City's 1/I reduction program. e. Clearwater Separation Program. If the City has not met the I/I goal as established by the Council, the City will initiate an aggressive non- voluntary Clearwater Separation Program. Under this program all homes within target areas will be inspected and where clear water discharge is found, the discharge of clear water into the sanitary system will be eliminated. The program goal will be to remove enough sump pumps and passive drain title connections from the sanitary sewer system to meet the VI goals by the end of 2005. The actual number of homes to be inspected annually under this program will be determined at the end of 2002 based upon the effectiveness of the City's program to that date. The non- voluntary program will continue until the City has either met the M goal for two(2)years or has completed the inspection of all homes within the City;provided however, that if the City has stopped its non-voluntary program because the City has met the established UI goal over a two (2) • 2 ry-r n ;r y year period, but future flows show that the I/I goal is no longer being met, the City agrees that it will again initiate the non-voluntary program until either the UI goal has again been met for two (2)years or the City has completed inspection of all of its homes. 4. Effective Date. This Agreement shall be effective starting with the date of its execution. 5. Termination. This Agreement shall remain in effect until the end of the tenth year after the effective date of this Agreement.
