Mr. Salisbury Adams Chairman Metropolitan Waste Control 350 Metro Square Building St. Paul, MN 55101 Re: CAB Interceptor, Implementation Dear Mr. Adams: Metrol::xgliton Council 300 Metro S~ucre Building Seventh Street <:nd Rooert St;eet Saint Pcul. Minne~ta 55101 Telephone [612J 291-6453 Office of the Chairman April 2, 1980 The Council and Commission staffB, have discussed alternatives for designing and constructing th~ CAB Interceptor between the Brooklyn Park Interceptor and the Anoka plant. In order for the Metropolitan Council to fulfill its commitment to the CAB communities it is proposed that the Council adopt an amendment to the Policy Plan. The purpose of the amendment will be to en- able the Commission to assure the ~ompletion of those segments of the CAB interceptor necessary to provide metropolitan service to Brooklyn Park and Champlin on or before 1984. Consequen:ly, the recomDended amendment'will require the MWCC to update the . 'Development Program information and to amend the Capital BudA~t items to provide for the completion of plans and specificatz~ns for the full CAB facility prior to August 31, 1981, using full metropolitan funding if necessary. This could enable PCA sider Step III funding for the CAB for fiscal year 1982. If Step III funding is not provided by MPCA in late 1982, the MWCC should then promptly request the Council to approve con- struction of the lower portions using full metropolitan funding. The Commission can then seek a cost-effective determination from PCA for funding an expansion of the Anoka Plant or the construction of the river crossing-force main required to phase out the plant. The CAB Interceptor should be designed as a gravity line with capacity to serve the future needs of the Elm Creek Watershed in accordance with the current Northwest Study. Your systemwide consultant should be requested to prepare costs per household which reflect the assumptions outlined above con- cerning potential grant eligibility for various components of the preferred solution, compared to expanding the plant. Those sets of household costs should also reflect the potential impacts of merging service area three with two and both three and =wo with O~e.
