r C� 350 METRO JOURRE BLDG. 7TH 6 ROBERT 1TREEU IRU1T PRUL mn 55101 612 222.8423 /S March 153, 1978 Mr. Brad Van Nest, Mayor City of Orono P. 0. Box 66 Crystal Bay, MN 55323 Dear Mayor Van Nest: This letter is in response to your letter of March 1, 1978 and a follow-up to previous correspondence regarding comprehensive sewer planning and the Orono -Long Lake Interceptor (MWCC Project No. 71-13). We will look forward to receipt of modifications to Map 1, "Urban - Rural Service Area", which includes the areas identified in your March 1, 1978 letter.- Upon receipt of this information and other information herewith requested, we will forward a copy to the Metropolitan Council and request their review and comments on the Comprehensive Sewer Plan (CSP) dated April, 1977. This CSP (Phase I: 1977-1990) will be considered an interim plan until such time as a CSP is prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Metropolitan Land Planning Act. A review was made of your CSP and comments were made on the plan at the June 17, 1977 meeting of the Metropolitan Council's Physical Development Committee. Our comment at that meeting was that the CSP showed a difference in the Urban Service Area and the Sewer Service Area. This difference was not resolved until we received your letter of February 6, 1978 stating that the City recognized that these areas were synonomous. It is our understanding that the modified Map 1, previously referred to in this letter, will confirm the agreement of the two areas. The CSP also indicates that the City will study and recommend solutions to the sewage disposal problems in areas not having sewer service avail- able. The CSP indicates that alternative solutions will be considered with the installation of sanitary sewers having the lowest priority. It is the intent of the Commission to recognize alternative waste manage- ment systems in the rural areas as we are in the process of initiating the "Alternative Waste Management Study" under our 201 Facility Planning. This Study together with the Metropolitan Council's 208 Program will recommend policies and procedures for on-site systems to be included in an amendment to the Waste Management Policy Plan. A review and comments on rural area sewage systems will be made following the development of the above procedures. These policy and management procedures should be a part of the CSP as prepared under the Metropolitan Land Planning Act.
