This letter is intended to <br />summarize the plan the City of Ramsey intends to follow in developing their water system supply. <br /> <br />1. The City of Ramsey will construct three new wells in the Francon/a-Ironton-Galesville (FIG) <br /> aquifer within the next 2 to 3 years. These wells will meet the short-term demands of the City. <br />2. The City ofRamsey wilI develop a plan, in conjunction with DNR Staff, to provide monitoring of <br /> the FIG aquifer, the Mt. Simon aquifer, and any surface water tables which may be impacted by <br /> increased pumping of the FIG aquifer. Th/s monitonng plan may include 3 to 4 well nests. In <br /> addition, the City will investigate the potential of utilizing existing wells for providing monitoring <br /> data. The City will progress with developing this plan in order to have the monitoring plan <br /> implemented prior to placing the first of the production wells on-line to the water system. <br />3. The City of Ramsey will develop a long-term water supply plan which w/Il evaluate surface water <br /> and ground water sources. <br /> <br />It is Br/an Olson's intent to provide the City Council with information regarding ti-tis plan at their August <br />12, meeting.
