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