WASTE MANAGEMENT c. Plan for Proposed Sewered Areas d. Plan for Unsewered Areas Ramsey must wait for final resolution of the CAB interceptor . sewer line issue before any sewer construction can be considered within the City. At the present time, the City of Ramsey's on site sewage system standards meet or exceed state standards. The City will continue to maintain its existing program to avoid any future pollution problems. However, the City of Ramsey is in the process of planning for municipal sewer as outlined in this plan. The City has also recently completed a comprehensive water study and is planning on installing a water system concurrently with the sewer system. As shown on Tables 17 and 18, the projected sewer flows for the Rum River Watershed and the Mississippi River Watershed are 0.328 MGD and 0.242 MGD respectively. To achieve their development goals, Ramsey has passed a resolution requesting that the Metropolitan Council amend their 208 Water Quality Plan to include construction of the second Ramsey connection by 1984. To keep the development within the sewered area, Ramsey has or will adopt the following policies: 1) Sewer extensions will not be allowed until 50% of the land presently sewered is developed. Exceptions to this policy are if the developer agrees to finance all trunk oversizing costs, he will be allowed to develop. 2) The city will pick up oversizing costs on an interim basis until sewer is extended. This will provide the opportunity for those areas with sewer and water to develop their property so they can afford to pay their assessments. It will also help to minimize leapfrog development. 3) Limit all residential development outside the 1990 urban area to densities no greater than one per ten acres. To provide and maintain wastewater disposal systems, the City of Ramsey has adopted on -site sewage system standards which meet or exceed the standards of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. These standards were adopted to preserve the water quality within the existing one acre and two and one -half acre development zones within the City. Following are descriptions of how Ramsey's regulations address the Metropolitan Council's 208 Water Quality Plan procedure 10 requirements for on -site systems: 1) City Code Article 150.01 Sewage Disposal Systems (see Appendix C) covers the design and requirement relating to all systems that may be installed in Ramsey. 71 7 -9 -81 9 -16 -81 9 -28 - 81 10 -13 -81 1 -7 -82 4 -2 -82 8 -18 -82
