Ms. Amber Miller City of Ramsey September 16, 2009 Page 3 Individual Sewage Treatment Systems (ISTS) The Update is incomplete for ISTS review. • Include a description of the City's ISTS program and the number of systems in operation • Provide a summary of the ISTS maintenance program that describes how the City's tracking and notification system insures that all ISTS are pumped at least once every three years in accordance with MPCA Rules and Council policy and a copy of the ISTS ordinance or web link address for access to it. Housing (Linda Milashius, 651- 602 -1541) The Update is incomplete for Housing review (see land use). • Include -the minimum and maximum density xara'.ge for residential land use categories to calculate how the City meets its share of the region's affordable housing need. Wastewater Services (Kyle Colvin, 651- 602 -1151) The Update is incomplete for wastewater services review. • Include projected sewered population, households and employment forecasts as well as flow projections by interceptor service area for 2010, 2020 and 2030. • A description of the City's I/I program that describes the efforts made to maintain the sanitary disposal system including if and how the connection of sump pumps, rain leaders and passive drain tile to the sanitary sewer system are prohibited. Advises Information: The Update defines the City's long term service need of 7.87 million gallons per day (MGD) for the two existing interceptor service areas. It also identifies a service area north of Trott Brook of 3,800 acres that could be served by a metropolitan WWTP in the future. The projected flow for this area is 1.98 MGD. Regional capacity for the area north of Trott Brook can be provided through the existing Regional Disposal System by system capacity improvements. Therefore, a future Regional WWTP is not being planned for this area. The Update projects a long range service need of 7.87 MGD. The Update's land use section does not appear to identify sufficient urban land area for future sewered development to achieve the 7.87 MGD level of service need. The City's average daily flow in 2008 was 0.80 MGD. Although it appears that the overall forecasts for households and population are consistent with Council forecasts, the Update's future land use map identifies significant areas of the City guided as rural residential at densities that might preclude future sewered residential densities of at least 3 units per acre, thereby, not utilizing the 7.87 MGD capacity needs as stated in the Update. The Update's sanitary sewer plan identifies some of these same residential areas for ultimate sewer service. Transportation (Ann Braden, 651- 602 - 1705) The Update is incomplete for Transportation review.
