Function This facility will provide metropolitan service to Champlin, Anoka, Brooklyn Park, arid Ramsey. It will allow the elimi- nation of the Anoka Wa stewater Treatment Plant. Timing Planning Considerations The CAB facility was approved by the Council as part of the 1VIVfOC 1977-81 Development Program in October, 1976. Under the conditions of approval, if the M'VVCC obtains maximum federal and state assistance for the entire facility, it proceeds with the project; construction would be completed in 198I. If the 1VI~GO cannot secure full fundihg for the entire system, the 1VIWCC will construct the project in two segments. The first segment will be the Anoka 'reaches which would flow into the Anoka Treatment Plant. This could lead to plant expansion - to be constructed in 1979. The second or lower segment will be the remainder of the facility, including pha sing out of the Anoka plant; this wouid be constructed by 1981. There is one point at which it is planned~Ramsey would.receive service through the CAB facility. This point would be at the end of the main leg of the facility at the western boundary of Anoka. Ultimately, service for Ramsey in this area is planned when the entire CAB facility is completed. If only the upper, Anoka segment (which would include this reach) is constructed first, service to Ramsey is not planned to be avail- ble. Otherwise, service through the CAB for Ramsey will not be available until completion of the entire facility, sometime in 1981. General Planninq Considerations Issues Included in the approval of the CAB facility was a condition that all communities scheduled to receive service through the CAB prior to 1990 must adopt a timing and staging plan for the area to be served by the C~B. This plan should be consistent with and an integral part of the 9.01 facility planning and Metropolitan Land Planning Act implemenCation process. Ramsey., as one of the affected communities, should build upon its recent comprehensive plan amendment in meeting this requirement. One of the issues it should deal with is its need and timing for service through the western connection of the CAB as discussed above. A second issue to be dealt with is the need for future connections to the CAB. The CAB Study Committee recommended two extensions of the facility, one of which would be a northerly branched extension paralleling T.H. 47 to the city of Ramsey corporate limits to provide future capacity to that portion of the city lying within the Rum River watershed. Since this extension is not included in the Waste Management Policy Plan, it is not included as part of the CAB as presently proposed. To obtain consi- deration of this extension, Ramsey should through its local planning process document future sewer service needs in the sewer element of the comprehensive plan. When this plan is reviewed by the MV~rCC and the Council, a determination of the need to includa the extension or other metropolitan facilities in the Policy Plan and hence MWCC Development Program will be made. 24
