m m ! I i I I I I AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW The Metropolitan Reorganization Act (Minnesota Statutes Section 471.161, Subd. 2) requires the MWCC to submit its development program or amendments thereto to the Council for review as to consistency with the Council's Water Quality Management Policy Plan. If the Development Program, or por- tion thereof, is returned to the MWCC with appropriate coment, the MWCC may make revisions and resubmit it to the Council for review. 2. As the designated 208 Areawide Water Quality Management Planning Agency, the Council is to review 201 facility plans for consistency with the adopted 208 plan (Water Quality Management Policy Plan). BACKGROUND In March 1979 the Council adopted a Water Quality Management Development Guide/Policy ~lan that identified a number of alternatives to be evaluated by the MWCC through its (201) facilities planning process. If the MWCC~s recomendations were consistent with a "preferred alternative" identified in the Policy Plan, the MWCC was authorized to include that alternative in a Development Program. If a preferred alternative was not identified, or if the MWCC recommended something other than a preferred alternative, amendments to the Policy Plan would be required. The Policy Plan amendments adopted by the Council in September 1981 and other amendments including the May 1984 amendment for the most part represent an updating or refinement of the preferred alternatives from the 1979 plan. In addition, some of the recent Policy Plan amendments represent selection of an alternative where previously none had been cited. Both the Policy Plan amend- ments and the MWCC Development Programs for 1982-1986 and 1984-1988 emanate from several years of coordinated and cooperative planning on the part of both the Council and the MWCC. Each document, the Policy Plan and the Development Program, will be subject to further refinement and possible modification to reflect changing federal and state regulations and funding priorities, together with continually evolving metropolitan needs. DESCRIPTION (See attachment No. I) ANALYSIS New Projects: Alarm/telemetering System is part of the Interceptor Improvement and Rehabilitation Project. It consists of replacing the old and faulty telemetering system which transmit sewage flow volumes from the 156 meter stations and also high water alarms from pump stations. This equipment replacement is needed for more accurate flow records and system reliabil- ity. This is a system-wide project and is part of Miscellaneous Inter- ceptor Improvements and Rehabilitation, and is consistent with the WRMDG. Bayport WWTP phase out and construction of pumping station and force main to the Stillwater WWTP is not needed till after 1990 the Bayport Compre- hensive Plan states. This project should be deleted to be consistent with the Bayport Comprehensive Plan. This is a Service Area No. 6 project.
