COMMITTEE / STAFF INPUT <br /> <br />6.01: Staff Updates on Wellhead Protection Plan Amendment Process <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby stated that City staff has been working with the Minnesota Department of <br />Health (MDH) to amend the Citys Wellhead Protection Plan since March of 2017. The Citys <br />Wellhead Protection Plan is in effect until January 4, 2020 but must be amended by October 6, <br />2019. The Wellhead Protection Plan consists of two parts. Part 1 delineates the Citys wellhead <br />protection zone and drinking water supply management area (DWSMA) and assesses the <br />vulnerability of the DWSMA and municipal water supply wells. Part 2 includes a potential <br />contaminant source inventory, a potential contaminant source management strategy, an <br />emergency/alternative water supply contingency plan, and wellhead protection program <br />evaluation plan. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby stated that Part 1 of the plan has been amended and was recently approved <br />by the MDH. City staff is in the process of issuing copies of the amended delineated wellhead <br />protection areas, drinking water supply management areas, and assessments of well and aquifer <br />vulnerabilities to local units of government that are wholly or partially within these areas by <br />th <br />March 4, as required. The next step in the process is to conduct a public information meeting <br />by April 4, 2019 to present the Part 1 amendments to the public. Staff is working to schedule <br />this meeting and to publish the required notifications. Staff is interested to know if the Public <br />Works Committee would like to host this meeting at their next regular meeting on March 29, <br />2019, or if the Committee thinks it might be better to conduct the meeting during the regular City <br />Council meeting on March 26, 2019. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby stated that based on the remaining tasks that need to be completed to <br />amend Part 2 of the plan, the services of an engineering consultant will be required.
