C8PP 1 JUNE, 1980 REVISED NOVEMBER, 1981 Rottsinf opportttniti«» h«v« rasalnad variad but with new amphasia on raoycllng of axiating atructuraa both along the lakeahora and in tha rural araas. Maw eonatruction ia haavily weightad toward individual scattarad sitaa with vary little development on tracts having more than three dwelling units._ _ Likewise, there have bean Major changes in metropolitan sawar facilities Where tan yaars ago tha MWCC thought that all of Orono was to be sewered and developed at an urban density, regional trends have caused tha Orono intareaptor to be ’•ads^i i.-ii>*vd, relocated and installed so as to serve ’only tha existing %*•* of the City and possibly certain other existing pockets or ;i'i-*’'*siopment along the lakeshore. The Metropolitan Council's 208 Water Duality Study investigated options for the Maple^ Plain WWTP. The 208 study recommended upgrading the existing plant ** with additional phosphorus removal equipment, and deferring any study on plant phase~out until at least 1986. This recommendation is supported by Orono and the MWCC, and was adopted by the Metropolitan Council on September 10, 1981, as part of their revised Water Quality Management policy Plan. This policy is consistent with Orono*s rural service area goals, and it confirms and supports the concept and design of the in-place Orono-Long Lake Interceptor, namely the ommission of future Maple Plain capacity^from the final interceptor sising. The remaining rural areas of Orono have therefore been recognised as being permanently rural and permanently self-sufficient as far as sanitation facilities are concerned. This on-site capability is also in tune with a realignment of national engineering and environmental philoeophies which now racognise the advantages of water resource recycling and the manageability of low density treatment and disposal systems as opposed to ground water depletion and the tremendous environmental problems of concentrated pollution overloading at central treatment plants. SEWAGE TREATMENT POLICY PLAN The following Goals and Policies comprise Orono's Comprehensive Sewage Treatment Policy Plan (CSPP). 8EI TREATMENT GOALS 1.TO PROVIDE AN ADEQUATE, SAFE LEVEL OF SEWAGE TREATMENT AMD HASTE WATER DISPOSAL FOR ALL RESIDENCES AND OTHER OCCUPIED PROPERTIES IN THE CITY. 2. 3. TO PROTECT LAKE MINNETONKA, OTHER LAKES AND STREAMS, SURFACE AND GROUND WATERS FROM SEWAGE EFFLUENT POLLUTION. TO ACHIEVE THE ABOVE GOALS WITHIN THE FINANCIAL CAPABILITIES OF THE CITY AND ITS CITIZENS WITHOUT BECOMING AN INTOLERABLE BURDEN ON THE LANDOWNERS OR TAXPAYERS. CMP 6-9 tr. '- •*-
