Appendix C - System Plan Requirements The Council looks for provisions in a community's comprehensive plan that provides for wastewater service commensurate with the needs of expected future development. The Council's requirements for the wastewater, surface water and water supply sections of a comprehensive plan are listed below. Appendix C-1: Wastewater System Plan Elements Under state law, local governments are required to submit both a wastewater plan element to their comprehensive plan as well as a comprehensive sewer plan describing service needs from the Council. Before any local government unit in the metro area may proceed with a sewer extension, the comprehensive sewer plan must be consistent with the Council's Wastewater System Plan and be approved by the Council. The required information in comprehensive sewer plan has been broader in scope than the information required for the comprehensive plan and has provided more detailed engineering information. To simplify this process and allow the Council to review and approve both documents simultaneously, the Council has combined the required elements of both plans into the following criteria: This section is divided into two parts: • Requirements for communities that are served by the Council's regional system, also known as the Metropolitan Disposal System. • Requirements for all other communities (and/or parts of communities) in the region. Requirements for Areas Served by the Regional System • Adopted community forecast of households and employment in 10 -year increments to 2040, based on the Council's 2040 forecasts with any subsequent negotiated modifications. • A map or maps showing the following information: - The communities existing sanitary sewer system identifying lift stations, existing connections points to the metropolitan disposal system, and the future connection points for new growth if needed. - I ntercomm unity connections and any proposed changes in government boundaries based on orderly annexation agreements. - The location of all private and public wastewater treatment plants. - Each existing or future connection point to the metropolitan disposal system as a local sewer service district. • A table or tables that provide the following information: - Capacity and design flows for existing trunk sewers and lift stations. - Information on the number of existing and potential connections by local sewer service district, and projected flow volume in 10 -year increments through 2040 and build -out. There is no preferred method for projecting interceptor flows. Communities may use the method that is most appropriate, and indicate methodology and assumptions used. - Proposed time schedule for the construction of new trunk sewer systems that require connections to the Metropolitan Disposal System. 73
