Storm Sewer Projects (continued) Storm Sewer Lord of Life Church Wetland 665W (the Lord of Life wetland) receives drainage from an area which has the potential to develop further. Presently, there is no outlet from this wetland. This project proposes constructing approximately 690 feet of 15" storm pipe which would outflow into Wetland 680W on the east side of the highway which has an outlet to the Rum River. This project should be undertaken as a part of the T.H. g47 project since it will eliminate expensive boring and jacking costs. The costs associated with this project includes construction and overhead which are estimated to be $23,000. Storm Water Plan Phase II In 1997, a storm water plan was prepared covering water for the southeastern quadrant of the City. This study focused exclusively on drainage quantifies and rate issues. Concurrent with this City plan, the Lower Rum River Water Management Organization (LRRWMO) was in the process of developing a second generation W-MO plan update for the basin, which included all of the City of Ramsey. After completion and acceptance of the WMO plan, the City is required to complete a local plan consistent with the WMO in addressing both quality and quantity goals. This proposed Phase II storm water study will address the water quantities, rate requirements for the remainder of the City, as well as adopt water quality policies for the entire City consistent with the WMO plan. The total cost of this study is estimated to be $25,000. Business Park 95 Outlet to Anoka System Nearly the entire area east of C.R. #57 and south of C.R. #116, which includes all of the developing industrial area known as the Business park 95 Industrial Park, drains into a series of on-site and regional retention basins, with overflows that ultimately discharge-into a very large regional basin located on the southeast comer of Section 35. This is immediately adjacent to the City of Anoka's Industrial Park which has planned its storm water system to be able to handle overflow discharge from the City of Ramsey's system. Until the City of Ramsey's industrial area is fully developed, an overflow into the City of Anoka's system will not be needed. Even after full development, the sandy subsoils will allow for a significant degree of storm water exfiltration. However, over an extended period, the exfiltration capacity will gradually decrease and eventually an overflow into Anoka's system may be required. The cost of such an overflow pipe and payment to Anoka are estimated to be $130,000.
