The Northwest Area Study objectives include facilities planning for Sewer Service Area Three consistent with the Metropolitan Council's 208 Water Quality PRan, cost effective analysis for facilities alter- natives, and an environmental assessment for selected facilities. Activities of the study will include public involvement, design criteria (design criteria technical memorandums will be reviewed with the affected communities), environmental assessment, system analysis (including cost effective analysis and alternative costs of treatment at the Anoka and Metro plants), preliminary design and coordination with other 201 studies. The Northwest Area Study must be coordinated with other related 201 studies including: residual solids (sludge disposal from the Anoka plant), combined sewer overflow (consideration of infiltration and inflow and capacity in the Minneapolis East and other downstream interceptors), metro plant (levels of treatment and associated costs, pa~ni~ularly for advanced waste nrea~ment) and nhe sy~en~ide a~alysi~ (to ensure comparable cost comparisons). The Northwest Area Study will also include a cost effective analysis for the Anoka interceptor. This is part of the information needed for PCA to make a grant eligibility determination for this facility.

This schedule should provide a timely basis for de~isions on whether the Anoka interceptor will be financed by metropolitan funds or grants, and information on the immediate and future function of the "interim" force main from the Anoka interceptor to the Anoka plant. It also indicates that a final decision on whether the CAB interceptor or an
