- 2 - The purpose of the amendment will be to enable the MWCC to assure the complet±on of the CAB interceptor necessary to provide metropolitan-sewer service to Brooklyn Park and Champlin on or before 1984. The proposed amendment would essentially direct the MWCC to do the following: 1. Update the Development Program and amend the Capital Budget to provide for the completion of plans and specifications by August 31, 1981, using full metropolitan funding if necessary. This could enable PCA to consider Step III funding for the CAB for fiscal year 1982. 2. If Step III funding is not provided by MPCA in late 1982, the MWCC should then promptly request the Metropolitan Council to approve construction of the lower portions of the CAB using full metropolitan funding. The Co~mission would then seek a cost-effective determination from PCA for funding an expansion of the Anoka plant, or the construction of the river crossing and connection to the lower segment of the CAB required to phase out the plant. The CAB interceptor would be designed as a gravity line with capacity to serve the future needs of the Elm Creek Watershed consistent with the 201 Northwest Area Study. We are also requesting the MWCC to instruct their systemwide consultant to prepare household costs reflecting various grant eligibility assumptions for the CAB interceptor and phasing components. ~{e have requested that these cost estimates reflect the potential effects ef merging Service Areas Two and Three and of merging Service. Areas Two and Three with Service Area One. Metropolitan Council staff is currently preparing the proposed policy plan amendment. When a draft is completed, it will be reviewed with the CAB Committee, along with appropriate input from the committee and the affected communities when the amendment is considered by the Physical Development Committee. Since Anoka's previous request for an extension of the Anoka intercepter from Highway 47 to the Rum River also requires a policy plan amendment, it would be appropriate to consider this proposed policy plan amendment'cencurrently~with th~ proposed amendment for the CAB interceptor. At the CAB Committee meeting of October 31, 1979, the attached draft staff report on Aneka's request was presented. This is the position Council staff will present to the Physical Development Committee when Anoka's interceptor extension request is considered. LS:im
