I am also enclosing a report <br /> done by Dr. Shapiro on the water quality in the Minneapolis lakes. <br /> This report shows that although Minneapolis lakes have never had any <br /> sewaae affluent in them they are in trouble today because of the <br /> phosphorus contents from the urban density which is poluting the lakes <br /> from the storm water run-off. The enclosed preface from the Orono <br /> Comprehensive Sewer Plan, I believe, best states the basis of Orono's <br /> concern for preserving the quality of Lake Minnetonka. <br /> Forcing large interceptors through the City of Orono to provide <br /> sewer capacity to the existing MSSR line, can only produce �a level of <br /> urbanization in the watershed that will produce far more phosphorus <br /> than is being oresently transmitted to the lake by the Maple Palin sewage <br /> treatment plant. It is also interesting to note that the 208 study that <br /> was conducted by the Metropolitan Council and Waste Control Commission <br /> found that the best alternative for Maple Plain was to improve the <br /> MaFle Plain plant removing phosphorus on site but now when we get the <br /> 201 Facilities Study we find that the Waste Control Corrunission plans <br /> to install a large interceptor through Orono. <br /> We are having a meetinq with Bernie Harrington of the Waste <br /> Control Commission, today, to discuss the reasons for which the Waste <br /> Control Corrmission has not approved our Interim Comprehensive Sewer Plan <br /> showing the City'.s location of the MUSA line.
