PUBLIC WORKS Wayne Sandberg, P.E., Director, County Engineer Frank D. Ticknor, P.E., Deputy Director September 19, 2022 Rachel Juba Community Development Director City of Hugo 14669 Fitzgerald Ave N Hugo, MN 55038 Washington County Comments on Everton Avenue Neighborhood Study Area AUAR Update Dear Rachel Juba, Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the updated Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) for the Everton Neighborhood in the City of Hugo. Washington County’s Department of Public Health and Environment and Department of Public Works have reviewed the updated AUAR and offer the following comments: Wells, Solid Wastes, Hazardous Wastes, and Storage Tanks – • If wells not in use are located during project development, these would need to be sealed according to Minnesota Department of Health regulations to mitigate potential groundwater contamination. • There are records for individual Subsurface Sewage Treatment Systems (SSTS) within the areas remaining to be developed. If the use of any existing septic systems, tanks, or components is to be discontinued they will need to be properly abandoned. If any unused SSTS or septic tanks are discovered during development, they will need to be properly abandoned. A County permit for septic system abandonment is required and an abandonment form must be submitted to the Washington County Department of Public Health and Environment (Department). If development occurs where wastewater will be generated and in area where municipal sewer services are not available a septic system permit must be applied for though the Department. • If any solid and hazardous waste, including waste resulting from historic dumping, is discovered during development it must be properly managed at an appropriately permitted waste disposal facility. Washington County Road Reconstruction/Trail Policy - • It is stated in #63 of Section ‘V. Mitigation Summary and Update’, that “The County shall be responsible for any trail development associated with County road reconstruction.” This scenario will be applied per Washington County’s Cost Participation Policy – Transportation Policy #8001 – and therefore it is requested that “per Washington County’s Cost Participation Policy” be added at the end of the above referenced sentence.
