LRRWMO Meeting Minutes January 23, 1991 Page 3 A copy of a letter sent to Brad Sielaff, Chairman of the Anoka Board of Water and Soil Resources, from Dan Erhart, Chairman of the Anoka County Board of Commissioners, was received discussing the concern for groundwater planning efforts in Anoka County. Weaver reported there is currently a groundwater contamina- tion problem at the old Cornelius plant location. A pumping project is proposed to occur over the next ten years to deal with the problem. In response to Schrantz's query as to whether or not this board will be reviewing permit applica- tions for this project, Schultz reported the Environmental Protection Agency and the Pollution Control Agency will have permit approval responsibility. Schultz went on to explain the polluted groundwater will be carbon filtered and dumped into a storm sewer and into the Rum River. There will be test wells established; and should they start to draw down badly, this pumping procedure will be shut down. OLD BUSINESS Status of Water Management Plan Skallman expected the LRRWMO Water Management Plan to be approved during this afternoon's meeting with the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources. January 9, 1991, discus- sions with Bruce Sandstrom indicated he would recommend approval with the completion of a couple of minor changes. Skallman reported said changes were made and sent on to the appropriate agencies for their consideration. Time Frame for Member City Reports re Development Pro Recording Secretary Mikkonen acknowledged some confusion as to when the written reports on development projects reviewed by each member city was expected to be received by this WMO. This board initially recommended there be a monthly report. However, she was aware the City of Anoka had requested these written reports be submitted quarterly. No further discussion has taken place since. Mikkonen recommended a policy be established, and the proper departments within each municipality be notified accordingly. Schrantz preferred to stay with a monthly report, Erickson stated he had no problem with a quarterly report, and Weaver was non - committal. The board concurred this issue be placed on the February regular meeting agenda for full board discussion.
