Development Guide (Part I} states: "sewer policy plan referred to in the Metropolitan Land Planning Act should comply with the requirements of a comprehensive plan..." Procedure 10 of the Development Guide describes the content required for local sewer plans. The city's Plan substantially addresses the content requirements of Procedure 10. However, when the city sub, its its comprehensive sewer plan to the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission (MWCC), it should address the additional comments raised by the MWCC in the letter included here as Attachment VI. a. Sanitary Sewer System Presently Ramsey does not receive metropolitan sewer service. The only treatment available to the city is through private on-site sewer systems. Part of the city is, however, located in the 1981-1990 addition to the Metropolitan Urban Service Area and is scheduled to receive metropolitan sewer service during this time period. The Water Resources Management Development Guide indicates a proposed connection would service the area located in the Mississippi River Watershed. The Development Guide also states that, if warranted in an acceptable Ramsey Plan, the MWCC should include in its 1982-1986 Development Program a project to add a second interceptor connection to Ramsey. This interceptor would serve the Rum River Watershed. Ramsey is to receive metropolitan sewer service through the Anoka Wastewater Treatment Plant. With the completion of the CAB and the eventual phasing out of the Anoka plant, Ramsey would receive sewer service through the Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment Plant. The Council's revised system statement for Ramsey projected a 1990 total sewer flow of .48 mgd. The Water Resources Management Development Guide projects a 1990 flow of .57 mgd. Ramsey's 1990 flow estimate (.57 mgd) is consistent with the Development Guide's projection. Ramsey has identified a 1990 Urban Service Area in which sewer service is planned and staged. In order to provide service to part of this area (Rum River watershed) in the next lO-year time period, the city is requesting the construction of the "second connection" by 1984. Ramsey's plan adequately addresses the need for such service. This is discussed in more detail in the Metropolitan Development Framework analysis. However, the specific timing of the interceptor construction and the availability of sewer service will be determined as part of the MWCC's 1982-86 Development Program and Capital Budget amendments. The Council will request the MWCC to include design funding in its 1983 Capital Budget.
