<br />PUBLIC HEARING – 7:00 P.M.
<br />
<br />Struve noted the wellhead protection plan has been an ongoing process for the past two years. An earlier
<br />public hearing was held in April, and due to some changes from the Department of Health, it was strongly
<br />recommended that another public hearing be held on the wellhead protection plan.
<br />
<br />The wellhead protection plan is a way to prevent drinking water pollution by managing potential
<br />contaminant sources. Struve indicated there are specific requirements associated with the plan and that
<br />community public water systems are required to delineate, inventory and manage areas within
<br />contributory areas of the City’s wells. The wellhead protection plan involves two parts: Phase 1 requires
<br />communities to delineate the wellhead protection area, identify the drinking water supply management
<br />area boundary, and a vulnerability assessment of the drinking water supply management area. Phase 1
<br />was completed by the Minnesota Department of Health and approved in 2011.
<br />
<br />Phase II of the plan was previously approved and submitted back in April. Comments were received back
<br />from the Department of Health, who basically made some minor changes to the plan. The new revised
<br />plan is due by November 22. The plan revisions included editing of text, updating some figures in report
<br />references, and removing some data that was not required by the plan. Under Rule 25, the City needs to
<br />identify 25 wells within the DWSMA area.
