DWSMAs, based upon DWSMA vulnerability, from the datasets identified above. Verification will include correlation to a MDH Facility Designation and Code, MDH Potential Contaminant Source and Material Codes, and location verification based upon and including a County Parcel ID and, if the data is available, a property owner name and mailing address. For well sites that cannot be verified by referencing available databases, site visits will be conducted to verify the location. This information will then be updated and used in the future for public education efforts. All information gathered from the above task will be submitted to the MDH. la. Amount Requested for performing this work: (80 hrs x $100/hr Consultant) = $ 8,000.00 lb. Product(s) produced or anticipated outcomes of performing this work item: The creation and continued development of a PCSI database is useful to track, catalog, and document: a) releases of compounds potentially threatening the public water supply, b) cleanup activities should a release occur, c) well sealings/abandonments and installations, d) installation and/or removal of storage tanks containing hazardous materials/substances, e) changes in land uses and activities within the DWSMAs, and f) locations of hazardous wastes and materials that could impact the public water supply. This information can also be valuable in drafting new or revised future regulations relating to specific land uses/activities in the DWSMAs, as deemed necessary. lc.

Work Item — describe the work that will be performed: Management of Sites with Tanks and Documented Environmental Contamination As stated above in Task 1, an updated WIMN shapefile was made available by the MPCA. Through work conducted in Work Item 1 of this grant application, appropriate sites will be identified based upon DWSMA vulnerability. Sites will be identified where further documentation is desired. An "open file" will be created with summary information for the identified sites. This will be used as a quick reference by City staff in the event a question arises regarding potential contamination of the City wells. The City will identify sites it believes require further review and documentation. The City proposes that the additional review and documentation not be completed under this grant. 2a.
