18. Water Quality -Wastewater <br />18a. Describe sources, composition and quantities of all sanitary, municipal and <br />industrial wastewater produced or treated at the site. <br />18b. Describe waste treatment methods or pollution prevention efforts and give <br />estimates of composition after treatment. Identify receiving waters, including <br />major downstream water bodies, and estimate the discharge impact on the quality <br />of receiving waters. If the project involves on -site sewage systems, discuss the <br />suitability of site conditions for such systems. <br />18c. If wastes will be discharged into a publicly owned treatment facility, identify <br />the facility, describe any pretreatment provisions and discuss the facility's ability <br />to handle the volume and composition of wastes, identifying any improvements <br />necessary. <br />1 &L Does not apply. <br />Observe the following points of guidance in an AUAR: <br />• only domestic wastewater would be coming from industrial uses that are <br />excluded from review through an AUAR process; <br />• wastewater flows should be estimated by land use sub -areas of the AUAR <br />area; the basis of flow estimates should be explained; <br />• the major sewer system features should be shown on a map and the expected <br />flows should be identified; <br />• if not explained under Item 6, the expected staging of the sewer system <br />construction should be described; and <br />• the relationship of the sewer system extension to the RGU's comprehensive <br />sewer plan and (for metro area AUARs) to Metropolitan Council regional systems <br />plans, including MUSA expansions, should be discussed. <br />18a. General - Source, composition and quantity <br />In Minnesota communities, the management of wastewater is a health -related necessity. <br />Providing adequate wastewater management services to residents and businesses in a <br />community results in several additional benefits, including protection of the environment, <br />enhanced economic development, and beneficial reuse of bio-solids and nutrients. <br />Policies within the City's 2001 Comprehensive Plan, as amended in 2002 (Comp Plan), <br />indicate that the City will: <br />• Extend municipal sewer services to areas within the existing and future <br />Metropolitan Urban Services Area (MUSA) as shown on Figure 5.4 and <br />consistent with the provisions and process outlined by the City. <br />18-1 <br />
