7.6.5 Goals Achieved Wellhead and source water protection will be incorporated into future planning efforts. Potential pollution risks to the source water aquifers will be reduced. 7.7 Data Collection Ramsey will continue to collect and maintain local geologic and hydrogeologic data as it becomes available in order to improve and augment current information and to provide additional data for future revisions of this WHPP. The City will also continue to collect information on potential contaminant sources within the DWSMAs. 7.7.1 Monitoring Water Levels in Municipal Water Supply Wells and City Observation Wells The City will continue to routinely measure the static and pumping water levels in the municipal water supply wells and the City's observation wells. These water levels will be measured per the methods and schedules identified in the City's draft Water Supply Plan (Ramsey, 2018a). 7.7.1.1 Source of Action City staff 7.7.1.2 Cooperators None. 7.7.1.3 Time Frame Ongoing 7.7.1.4 Estimated Cost Approximately $2,000-$4,000 annually 7.7.1.5 Goals Achieved Routine collection of groundwater levels in the municipal wells and City observation wells will provide data for the evaluation of groundwater elevation trends over time. Success criterion: Compilation of a long term groundwater elevation dataset that can be used to evaluate groundwater elevation trends in the source water aquifer. 7.7.2 Other Geologic and Hydrogeologic Data Collection The City will attempt to collect local geologic and hydrogeologic data for the Ramsey area as it becomes available from other public sources or through City -sponsored projects. The City will also support, whenever possible, future data collection efforts by other governmental entities (e.g., MGS, MDH, MDA, MDNR, MPCA, Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization, and Anoka County). 33
