9. This statement should provide a reference to State statute, rule, <br />or local ordinance that places this addition restriction on USTs located <br />within a wellhead protection area. If no supporting regulatory <br />documentation is provided this statement should be deleted. <br />10. That the AUAR acknowledge that USTs may be located in the City's <br />wellhead protection areas and encourage the City to address this potential <br />contaminant source in their wellhead protection plan (under development). <br />Response: The Mitigation Element of Item 13 of the document has been changed to <br />reflect the comment. <br />Comment 8.24: Re: Page 20-3 - The Ramsey Wellhead Protection Plan is in <br />development. Part 1 on the wellhead protection plan, addressing WHPAs, DWSMAs and <br />well vulnerability classifications has been completed and approved by MDH. Part 2 of <br />the City's wellhead protection plan is being developed and will address contaminant <br />sources and education initiative within the site and the City WHPA/DWSMA. <br />Recommendation (of the commenter): <br />11. That this statement be combined with other references to <br />wellhead protection planning and inserted into the Water Use section/item. <br />References to a developed wellhead protection plan should be modified to <br />completion of Part 1 and continuing development of Part 2. <br />Response: See response to comment 8.1. References to the wellhead protection plan as <br />having two parts have been corrected in the document as suggested. <br />Comment 8.25: (page 20-3) "The most controlled land use in the WHPA is the use of <br />underground storage tanks to store petroleum and any other potentially harmful <br />substance. Underground tanks are allowed in the WHPA if the tanks are double -walled <br />and groundwater around the tank is monitored for contamination from a possible leak in <br />the tank. However, the use of underground tanks in these areas is strongly discouraged. <br />In the case that a leak occurred, alternative water sources, such as the emergency <br />connection with the City of Anoka, would potentially have to be used". <br />34-19 <br />
