/ Minnesota Pollution Control Agency October 1, 1984 Me. LaDean McWilliams Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 Dear Ms. McWilliams: Thank you for yruL letter to Governor Perpich concerning sewerage problems in the area of Crystal Bay. The Governor has forwarded your letter to this office, and has asked that I respond on his behalf. We are aware of sewerage problems in the area of Crystal Bay and the City of Orono. On December 29, 1983 and May 1, 1984, the Orono city Administrator, Mr. Walter A. Benson, wrote letters to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). In those letters, he requested the placement of Orono on the Municipal Needs List which is a list of communities in the State having a need to construct wastewater treatment facilities that are eligible for grant assistance. He also indicated that Crystal Bay is one of the areas the City wished to complete sewer construction. On May 11, 1984, Mr. Benson was sent a letter which explained that the construction of sanitary sewers is not eligible for grant assistance in the Federal and State Construction Grants Programs. Therefore, we could not place the City of Orono on the Municipal Needs List. However, we suggested the City contact the Farmers 11ome Administration and the Minnesota Department of Energy and Economic Development for possible financial assistance to construct the proposed sanitary sewers. I am sorry the MPCA cannot provide your community with grant assistance to alleviate the costs of sewer construction, especially to those residents living on fixed incomes. I do suggest you contact Mr. Benson to see if he was successful in acquiring grant funds from other agencies. pnmy 612/296-7301 1935 West County Road B2.
