METROPOLITAN COUNC IL 300 Metro Square Building, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55101 September 11, 1979 TO: Physical Development Committee FROM: Environmental Planning Division (Jack Frost) SUBJECT: Supplement to August 30, 1979, Memorandum on Anoka Interceptor Plans and Specifications, Metropolitan Council Referral File No. 6986-1 Metropolitan Council District 12 Introduction The August 30, 1979, staff report on the Anoka interceptor plans and specifications recommended that: - The plans and specifications be found consistent with the approved MWCC Development Program. - The $300,000 force main and lift station connecting the Anoka interceptor and the ~xisting Anoka treatment plant be deleted -- from the 1980 MWCC Capi. tal Budget request. - The MWCC should proceed to construct the Anoka'interceptor with metropolitan funds if it is not evident by November 15 that state and federal grants will be available for the facility. These staff recommendations were thoroughly discussed at a CAB Facility Study Committee meeting on September 7. That meeting resulted in an expression of concern from some CAB Committee members that construction of the Anoka interceptor should be delayed until the character and financing responsibility of the connection between the Anoka interceptor and the Anoka treatment plant can be determined. MWCC representatives at the meeting provided assurances that a firm indication on whether the CAB interceptor should be built or the Anoka treatment plant should be 'expanded, information which is necessary to establish the character of the connection, would be available by January 1980. At the meeting representatives from Anoka expressed concern'that a delay until January 1980 would substantially affect the construction schedule for the Anoka inter- ceptor. In response to this concern, MWCC staff has indicated that delaying until January 1980 will not substantially affect the construction completion schedule for the Anoka interceptor. In consideration of this new information resulting from the September 7 CAB Study Committee meeting, staff proposes the following revised recommendation on the Anoka interceptor plans and specifica- tions.
