<br />extends into the city of Anoka. The Wellhead Protection Manager will, to the extent feasible and <br />practicable, communicate the goals and objectives of this Plan to the other local governmental units <br />whose jurisdictions overlap the Ramsey DWSMAs. <br />The City of Ramsey will continue to rely on Federal, State, County, and local agencies and regulations and <br />appropriations, and well drilling. City staff will look to the MDH for continued regulation of the installation <br />of wells and proper sealing and abandonment of old wells. In addition, The City recognizes that the <br />MDNR plays a role in the approval of applications for construction of new high capacity wells as well as <br />administering water appropriations. <br />The programs identified above have proven to be effective. City staff will cooperate with the identified <br />agencies, to the extent practicable, as issues arise in the future. <br />4.2.3Administrative, Technical, and Financial Considerations <br />The City expects to have adequate resources available over a multi-year period to manage their source <br />water aquifer within their DWSMAs. Funds to support ongoing wellhead and source water protection <br />be evaluated periodically per MDH requirements and any changes in the focus of the tasks will also be <br />evaluated to determine if additional funding will be necessary to accommodate the changes. When <br />appropriate and to assist in funding of activities, the City may apply for grants from the MDH Source <br />Water Protection Grant Program to fund implementation of management activities described later in this <br />Plan. <br />For this WHPP to be effective, the City will need to keep the public aware of the issues affecting the public <br />water supply through public educational programs. Therefore, the wellhead and source water protection <br />actions described later in this Plan will include public education. Routine administrative duties will be <br />directed or performed by the Wellhead Protection Manager. Specific tasks and strategies will be <br />performed by the Wellhead Protection Manager or delegated by the Manager to City staff or outside <br />resources. <br />appropriations are increased for existing wells, it is possible that the changes may affect the size and <br />shape of Ramsey <br />Plan, as required by the Wellhead Protection Rules, at least every 10 years or as specified by the MDH. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 14 <br /> <br />14 <br /> <br />
