developed and include aquifer testing, monitoring water levels and pumping rates and surface water flow, triggers and actions to protect aquifer levels, a schedule for periodic analysis of data to identify the need for action to mitigate impacts, and a schedule for periodic and timely reporting to DNR. • Due to the risk of contamination, consult with MDH about local actions to prevent the spread of contamination. The community's source water protection plan should include measure to mitigate public health risks due to potential contamination sources, which may include cooperating with MDH to increase monitoring of contaminants regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Where significant contamination exists, MDH will continue enhanced monitoring, and public water suppli- ers may need to implement treatment processes to meet Safe Drinking Water Act requirements and manage pumping to better control the extent and magnitude of the contaminant plume. • Due to uncertainty regarding aquifer productivity and extent, partner with agencies and neighbors to collect data as feasible. • Include analysis of water supply alternatives in your comprehensive water supply system plan and budget. • Work with neighbors to identify opportunities for reducing duplicate work, sharing information, partnering on projects. - Compliance with Safe Drinking Water Act standards - Conditions identified on existing and future water appropriation permits issued by the Minne- sota Department ofNatural Resources - Issues identified in Minnesota Department of Health Source Water Assessments Guidance provided in the local water supply plan template and the Local Planning Handbook, and Metropolitan Council water supply planning staff are available to provide additional assistance.
