<br /> PUBLIC HEARING—7:00 P.M.
<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 /> 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 /> 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.
