� " Page 26 � � Mr. Brad VanNest, Mayor City of Orono December 24, 1979 Page Two 1 . Page 13 of your plan indicates that via Policy 9b that the community has the option of providing sewer service in the rural area. The Development Guide on tJater Quality Manage- ment does not include this policy nor this provision in another policy. Rather, Policy 7 should be included in your plan which prohibits the extension of sewer service into areas other than that included in the MUSA. 2. On page 11 of the Plan, it is stated that the city will resolve area wastewater prohlems with either condemnation of property or constructinq on-site waste disposal system. These alternatives may be acceptable in rural areas not contiguous to existing sanitary sewer systems. Developed areas having sewage disposal problems and are contiguous to areas with available sewers, should be provided with sewer service within two years as required in the "Sewage and Waste Control Rules and Regulations for the Metropolitan Disposal System". The identification of the six (6) problem areas in your letter of November 29, 1979 and attach- ments are examples of areas which are contiguous to sewered areas and should be provided with sanitary sewer service. The possible exception to this condition is the area east of Stubbs Bay. 3. The CSP states that inflow will be prohibited and infiltra- tion limited to 100 gpidm for new sewers. However, the flow records do indicate that there is inflow/infiltration (I/I) in the existing system. The CSP should include a program to eliminate or reduce these I/I flows in the existing system. Item Clb2 of the plan content guidelines states that sewage collection facilities jointly used with another community should be identified and information on area of service, number of connections and flow volume should be provided. A copy of the joint use agreement on cost sharing should be provided for each intercommunity service area. Those areas in your city which are served by sewers in Long Lake, tJayzata, etc, should also be identified. They should be described by area of service, number of existing and future projected connections and estimated flow. Copies of signed agreements for these joint-use facilities should be provided. . The Corr�nission is in the process of conducting a 201 Facility P1an in which the Maple Plain Wastewater Treatment Plant is being studied. It appears that the recorrvnended alternative for improvements at Maple Plain is to phase out the plant and convey the wastewater to the Long Lake Pumping Station. Should this alternative be selected, please
