~QU should also note that urban development at overall densities that are substantially lower than identified for your community in the Council's Growth Management Strategy Section of the Systems Information Statement will also be analyzed by the Council for their potential adverse effects on the cost of providing metropolitan sewer service. Description of Metropolitan Disposal System Serving your Community: The attached map shows the location of the MetropolitanDisposal System (MDS) serving your community. The following paragraphs contain information on the existing and planned metropolitan facilities serving your community. The wastewater flow from the City of Ramsey is treated at the Metropolitan WWTP located within St. Paul, MN. There are many projects scheduled for the Metropolitan WWTP through 2030. These projects will provide additional capacity at the plant as well as improve its ability to meet required permit standards. The City of Ramsey is served by Council interceptor 7707. This interceptor system currently has limited capacity to provide for the long-term needs of the city. The Council has several proposed interceptor improvement projects scheduled to support the long- term needs ofthe city. The construction of the Anoka System Improvements will expand the capacity of lift stations L42 and L67 to provide for the long-term needs ofthe city. The gravity interceptor across the Cities of Champlin and Brooklyn Park is planned to relieve the CAB interceptor. This project is scheduled for design and construction in the in the 2005-2020 time period. The construction of the CAB diversion, a relief interceptor across the Mississippi River from Brooklyn Park in the area south ofI-610, is scheduled for design and construction in the 2005 -2020 time period. The city needs to verify its long-term needs as part of its comprehensive plan update. If necessary, detailed information regarding metropolitan facilities is available from the Council's Municipal Services Section by calling the staff at (651) 602-1005. Increases in growth rates and resulting increases in flow beyond those shown in Table 1 may result in short-term capacity limitations within the MDS. Inflow/IniIltration Reduction Goal The Council's Water Resources Management Policy Plan states that the Council will establish III goals for all communities discharging wastewater to the MDS. Communities that have excessive III in their sanitary sewer systems will be required to eliminate the excessive III by 2012. The Council will begin the implementation of an III assistance/surcharge program in 2007. The money collected from the communities with excessive III may be used by those communities to remove III from their systems. The Council will limit increases in service within those communities that have not met their III goal(s) starting in 2013. The Council will meet with the community and discuss this alternative before it is implemented. This time period may be shorter if excessive III jeopardizes the Council's ability to convey wastewater without an overflow occurring. In W - 3
