CO.U NTY OF ANOKA <br />Office q£ the Cot~;t.v Board of Commix.~'ioners <br />COURTHOUSE ANOKA, MINNESOIA 55303 612-421-4760 <br /> <br /> September 15, 1978 <br /> <br />Mr. Lloyd Schnelle, Clerk <br />City of Ramsey <br />15153 Nowthen Boulevard <br />Anoka, Minnesota 55303 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Schnelle: <br /> <br />I am writing 'to you today on a very important issue which ' <br />will affect all of us here at the local government level in <br />Anoka County. This matter specifically relates to the <br />Metropolitan Council planning process for the 208 Water <br />Quality Plan for the Metropolitan Area. <br /> <br />For your information, I have attached a brief summary of the <br />208 Plan which was prepared by Bob Hutchinson of our <br />Environmental Services Division in the Health Department. <br />In your reading of Bob's summary, you will notice that he <br />has specifically outlined the areas'of concern in the plan <br />which is being discussed at the Metropolitan Council level. <br /> <br /> In addition to those concerns raised by Bob, I would like to <br /> express to you. some of the points which I made to-our <br /> Metropolitan Council Representatives at the last COunty <br /> Board meeting. In my review of the plan, it is apparent to <br />· . me that t'he demands which are being placed on local govern- <br /> ment by way of the specific policies of the Metropolitan <br /> Council will, at a minimum, be a very expensive and time <br /> consuming program for us and all of our constituents. It is <br /> my opinion that this plan is 10 years too late, and we have <br /> come a long Way in terms of water quality management here in <br /> Anoka County. Consequently} I question the need for a new <br /> layer of governmental involvement in the already ongoing <br /> attempts'to keep our ground and surface waters safe and free <br /> of pollution'for all'of our citizens. <br /> <br />: <br /> <br /> Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity Employer <br /> <br /> <br />
