Anoka, Minnesota 55303 Dear Mr. Schnelle: Some time during the past fall you should have received a letter from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency announcing Ramsey's eligibility for federal funds for a study of on-site sewage disposal systems in the City. When the letter was sent out the objective of the program appeared to be duplication of another 201 study that was already under way.. Within the past two weeks we have. received additional information, however, that merits serious consideration. This does not duplicate the 201 'study. The purpose of the grant offer is to fund 90 percent of the cost of a study of on-site sewage disposal systems in portions of a community in which more than two thirds of the dwellings were constructed prior to October 18, 1972. If the study provides adequate documentation of problems and shows that the provision of sanitary sewer services is a cost-effective solution to the prob- lems, the City would become eligible for federal and state funding of 90 per- cent of the cost of the sewage collection system including laterals. The same grant eligibility is available if sanitary sewer service is not found to be cost-effective, in which case the grant would apply to reconstruction of the on-site systems. The amount of grant funding allocated to Ramsey for the initial- Study is $15,oo0. It is our feeling that the only portion of Ramsey that merits study at this time is the Urban Planning Area, udless~the Council is aware of other problem keilh caswell jr. tJ darrell schneider ~J richard sha
