Richard Dougherty <br /> January 24, 1980 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Forcing large interceptors through the Cit�� of Orono .from and <br /> through existing rural areas to existinc7 metropolitan sewer <br /> service rec�ion lines can onlv force urbanization in an existing <br /> sensitive rural watershed containing one of natures predominate <br /> nutrient removing resources, wetlands. <br /> If the interceptor alternative is se�ecteci and does pass through <br /> the City of Orono, it will violate and cause serious conf_lict <br /> with, not only Orono' s Comprehensive Sewer Plan, Land Use Plan, <br /> and the total planning Process, but also with other communities <br /> in the north and west Lake t'Iinnetonka area. <br /> The City of Orono does agree with the 208 Studv conducted by the <br /> P4etropolitan Council in upgrading the Piaple Plain waste water <br /> treat�►ent plant and does agree with long range planninc� in <br /> determininc� alternatives as a result of preliminary findinqs in <br /> our 201 Study. Orono is also very interested in determining <br /> long range iriPacts in any study area which, in this particular <br /> case, should result in a reevaluation of rionetary and non- <br /> monetary costs and issues as well as reviewing reasonable <br /> alternatives to remove unwanted nutrients. <br /> In summation, the City of Orono does object to the alternative <br /> of constructing an interceptor which is not consistent with the <br /> City' s Comprehensive Sewer Plan, Comprehensive ruide plan, <br /> and Orono' s Surface [+7ater P4anager•_ient Plan. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> L�/��G� <br /> Walte . nso <br /> City Adrministrator <br /> cc_ Charles Weaver, Metropolitan Council Chairman <br /> Salisbur� Adams, Hetropolitan ��Taste Control Commission Chairman <br /> Bernard Aarrington, r�[dCC <br /> Senator Pillsbury <br /> Re�resentative Searles <br /> Edward Rartsdell <br /> Minnehaha Creek iJatershed District <br /> Lake Minnetonka Conservation District <br /> Kent Roberts, Pollution Control A_qenc_y <br /> P4a�or �Ian 21est <br /> Orono Citv Council <br /> Glenn Cook, Orono Cit�� Fnc�ineer <br /> Lyle Swanson, McCombs-Knutson Engineering <br /> John Gerhardson, Public ��orks Coordinator <br />
