The applicable rules are Stormwater Management (Rule C), Flood Control (Rule D), and Erosion and Sediment Control (Rule F). The disturbed area of this project is 1.81 acres with 1.33 acres’ impervious surface.

Motion 18-155:

Approve permit #18-017 Cathedral Hill with eight conditions.

1. Receipt of $6,600 surety.

2. Receipt of maintenance agreement recorded with Ramsey County.

3. Include a site-specific maintenance plan that includes the following: a. List all stormwater management practices. b. Person(s) responsible for maintenance of stormwater devices(s). c. Frequency of inspection/ indicator that maintenance is needed. d. Description of inspection activities e. Description of maintenance activities 4. Provide plans signed by a professional engineer per the Minnesota Board of AELSLAGID. 5. Provide a copy of the NPDES permit.

6. Revise plans to address the following: Our Mission is to protect, manage and improve the water resources of Capitol Region Watershed District

a. Add note to Detail 11 on Sheet C500 stating that fabric shall be excluded from the bottom of the infiltration basin. b. Revise SWPPP to include the following: i. Installation of infiltration/filtration practices shall be done during periods of dry weather and completed before a rainfall event. Placement of engineered soils shall be on dry native soil only. ii. Excavation of infiltration areas shall be completed using a backhoe with a toothed bucket. iii. Native soils in infiltration areas shall be de-compacted to a minimum depth of 18 inches. iv. The bottom excavation surface of infiltration areas shall be level without dips or swales. v. During construction, stormwater must be routed around infiltration areas until all construction activity has ceased and tributary surfaces are cleaned of sediment. vi. Engineered soil shall remain uncontaminated (not mixed with other soil) before and during installation. c. Revise sump depth to be four times larger than the outlet pipe per EPA guidance. STRM #5 and #8 are specified for 3’ sumps, but the 12” outlet pipe would require a 4’ sump. Additionally, the drainage area to the inflow pipe shall be at least three times greater than the drainage area to the grate above per the University of Minnesota. The proposed sump in STRM #5 receives the majority of flow through the grate. Therefore, include an additional manhole between STRM #5 and the underground filtration system with a sump to meet the desired ratio. d. Revise Detail 11 on Sheet C500: i. State that fabric shall be excluded from the bottom of the infiltration basin. ii. Add inverts for bottom of rock, top of rock, and bottom of 60” perforated pipe. e. Provide additional manholes or cleanouts to facilitate future maintenance of underground infiltration system. CRWD recommends cleanout access at the midway point and at each end of the 60” perforated pipe. f. Revise outlet design of the underground infiltration system to facilitate better maintenance access to the 8” orifice. An option is to add a manhole with an internal weir containing an 8” orifice downstream of the underground system. The building draintile may enter this manhole downstream of the weir. Based on the current plan, an 8” orifice invert of 207.45’ and a weir crest at 210.4’ would not affect the hydraulic design of the system.

7. Revise HydroCAD to use MSE 24-hr Storm Curve 3 rainfall distribution.

8. Revise drainage area maps and HydroCAD to incorporate offsite drainage from the west. This additional drainage area discharges to the underground infiltration system and may increase the system HWL. Reider/Sanders Unanimously Approved C)

Permit #18-018 Payne Building Development (Dahle)

Ms. Hosch reviewed permit #18-018 Payne Building Development. The applicant, Schafer Richardson is building three to four story mixed use apartment/retail buildings. The applicable rules are Stormwater Management (Rule C), Flood Control (Rule D), and Erosion and Sediment Control (Rule F).

Add inverts for bottom of rock, top of rock, and bottom of 60” perforated pipe. iii. Add note: Bottom of rock below underground chambers should be placed in native silty sand (SM). Over-excavation of sandy clay loam (ML) soils may be necessary to reach designed soil type. b. Revise SWPPP to include the following: i. Installation of infiltration/filtration practices shall be done during periods of dry weather and completed before a rainfall event. Placement of engineered soils shall be on dry native soil only. ii. Excavation of infiltration areas shall be completed using a backhoe with a toothed bucket. iii. Native soils in infiltration areas shall be de-compacted to a minimum depth of 18 inches. iv. The bottom excavation surface of infiltration areas shall be level without dips or swales. v. During construction, stormwater must be routed around infiltration areas until all construction activity has ceased and tributary surfaces are cleaned of sediment. vi. Engineered soil shall remain uncontaminated (not mixed with other soil) before and during installation. c. Include a sump manhole between STRM #5 and the underground infiltration system. The drainage area to the inflow pipe shall be at least three times greater than the drainage area to the grate above per the University of Minnesota. The proposed sump in STRM #5 receives the majority of flow through the grate. d. Provide additional manholes or cleanouts to facilitate future maintenance of underground infiltration system. CRWD recommends cleanout access at each end of the 60” perforated pipe system. e. Clarify whether STRM #7 is a CBMH or MH. The square symbology and Note 11 on Sheet C300 indicate STRM #7 is a CBMH, but the sewer table on Sheet C300 indicates a MH. If STRM #7 is a CBMH, specify inlet protection to be installed on Sheet C200 and adjust drainage area maps to include area that will be draining to this inlet and offsite without treatment. f. Revise erosion control plan so that designated concrete washout area is not located over the footprint of the underground infiltration area. g. Add note to plans to clarify the thicker black line extending easterly from the proposed building.

It appears to be a car port / roof, but there is no specific reference on the plans. h. Revise HWL in plans to correspond with HydroCAD. HWL in plans is 842.59’ and 843.38’ in HydroCAD. i. Revise outlet design of the underground infiltration system to facilitate better maintenance access to the 8” orifice. An option is to add a manhole with an internal weir containing an 8” Our Mission is to protect, manage and improve the water resources of Capitol Region Watershed District

orifice downstream of the underground system. Based on the current plan, an 8” orifice invert of 841.42’ and a weir invert of 843.4’ would not affect the hydraulic design of the system.

7. Revise HydroCAD to use MSE 24-hr Storm Curve 3 rainfall distribution.

8. Revise drainage area maps and HydroCAD to accurately reflect site conditions. The current drainage areas appear to overestimate how much area drains to the infiltration tank. It is unlikely that all area in proposed drainage area 1 reaches the STRM #5 and #6 and is discharged to the underground infiltration system. Provide additional detail to justify all drainage enters these two catch basins or update drainage area maps and HydroCAD to reflect areas that will sheet flow offsite without treatment.

Special Reports A) Snelling-Midway Rainwater Art (Eleria)

Ms. Eleria reviewed that the Snelling-Midway redevelopment site will be home to an innovative, comprehensive stormwater management system that will capture and reuse rainwater from the canopy as well as new rooftops from future redevelopment on the remaining area. In the first phase of the project, treated rainwater will be used to irrigate the Great Lawn north of the Field as well as other greenspaces and trees surrounding the stadium and along public right-of-way. This system is largely underground and invisible to the public. With the support of CRWD’s Board CRWD staff hired Aaron Dysart, City of St. Paul Artist, to develop concept designs to make the invisible, visible and celebrate the underground reuse system.

Mr. Dysart completed a concept design for a sculpture, titled Accumulation. Mr. Dysart presented to the Board and described the intention of the design and its relationship to the stormwater system, estimated cost and proposed location. The sculpture form is based on a cloud and constructed with chrome-plated or metallic painted downspouts, elbows and junctions.

Manager Texer and President Collins stressed concerns about vandalism or theft of the copper pieces. Mr. Dysart shared that these concerns were included in the engineering design phase. Manager Jones asked who would maintain the art. Ms. Eleria replied that the ownership and maintenance is still being determined. Ms. Eleria reviewed the next steps. No request for approval, just an update of the final design. Ms. Eleria shared that additional funding sources are being identified.

B) Targeted Watershed Program (Zwonitzer) Mr. Zwonitzer provided an update on the Targeted Watershed Program. A grant was awarded to fund projects in Como Park, Lake McCarron’s, Adopt A Drain and Curbside Cleanup. The programs goal of reducing 100 lbs. of phosphorus is on target. Managers were very pleased with the presentation and progress.

Manager Jones abstained from the motion.

Reider/Texer Unanimously approved D) AR: Approve Special Grant Award Amendment for Wilder Square Cooperative Stormwater Management (Zwonitzer) Mr. Zwonitzer reviewed that for the 2017 grant year, CRWD’s Board approved funding for Wilder Square Cooperative in the amount of $18,000 for a feasibility study to investigate water quality improvement and flood mitigation opportunities. The nonprofit, low income housing cooperative in Frogtown has significant standing water and ice issues around sidewalks and a playground. The site was a former dump and required substantial soil remediation, most of which has been completed.

Though much of the soil contamination on the property was removed, infiltration is not recommended. The feasibility study analyzed multiple BMP configurations including above and below-ground treatment. Upon completion of the study CRWD staff determined the proposed BMPs were too expensive and lacked the water quality benefit to justify the cost. Staff requested an additional concept (Alternative 5) that would better balance project cost and water quality benefit. The result is a surface filtration rain garden in the area that experiences frequent flooding. The nearby parking lot would be piped to the filtration basin, but to reduce cost the high-rise rooftop was not included. The garden is sized to filter a 0.63” rain event from 1.2 acres of impervious as well as 0.92 acres of turf and will capture 0.1 pounds of phosphorus and 260 pounds of sediment annually. Using CRWD’s Stewardship Grant Calculator, staff determined a recommended grant award of $40,000 which would cover roughly 53% of the estimated $75,000 project. The project would be funded through Special Grants (Fund #440-18910) which has reserve funding carried over from 2017 for this project.

Motion 18-161: Approve Special Grant amendment in the amount of $40,000 for the Wilder Square Cooperative water quality improvement project and authorize the Administrator to execute the amendment.

Approve Request for Qualifications for 2020 Watershed Management Plan (Eleria)

Ms. Eleria reviewed that Capitol Region Watershed District (CRWD) must revise its watershed management plan (WMP) at least once every ten years after the existing watershed management plan was approved. CRWD’s 2010 WMP was approved by the Board on September 1, 2010. The revised WMP must conform to MN Statutes 103B.231 and 103D.405 and MN Rules Chapter 8410.

Ms. Eleria shared the draft request for qualifications (RFQ). Staff anticipates a month and half consultant solicitation process with an anticipated Board selection of a consulting firm by early October. Upon selection of the consulting firm, CRWD staff will work with the selected consultant to develop and negotiate a 2020 WMP scope of work, budget and schedule that will be presented to the Board for review and approval.

Manager Reider asked about the cost. Ms. Eleria replied that the cost is being determined, budget is being estimated at 200,000. Ms. Eleria inquired about forming a committee to review the SOQ and conduct interviews.

President Collins and Manager Sanders agreed to serve on the committee.

Approve Contractor for Lake McCarrons Raingarden Project (Novak)

Ms. Eleria reviewed that The Lake McCarrons Raingarden Project is a CRWD Clean Streets Initiative designed to target stormwater runoff conveyed to Lake McCarrons via streets in the City of Roseville. The project is a partnership between CRWD and the City of Roseville which will coordinate street reconstruction efforts with implementation of clean water infrastructure. The City of Roseville street reconstruction crew will provide several major components of the installation including erosion control measures, 90% of the garden excavation and the construction of the curb-cut inlet. CRWD and RCD staff identified 64 properties in the targeted neighborhood as having potential for an effective boulevard curb-cut raingarden. We received favorable response from 31 interested project participants and hosted 26 people at our community event in February 2018. After site consultations, design and review we now have 15 committed participants.

Fifteen (15) property owners are now committed to install boulevard rain gardens. We have distributed a request for quotes to 11 potential contractors and received quotes from two (2) contractors. The lowest quote of $135,512 was received from Outdoor Lab Landscape, Inc. CRWD staff has worked with Outdoor Lab on many successful projects and it is the staff recommendation that the Board approve Outdoor Lab Landscape, Inc. as the contractor for the Lake McCarrons Raingarden project.

The Lake McCarrons Boulevard Raingarden Project will be funded from a combination of two sources: Targeted Watershed Grant and Stewardship Grant Projects. In 2018, we budgeted $92,000 for Targeted Watershed Boulevard Raingardens. The remainder of the funds will come from Stewardship Grant Projects.

Staff anticipates construction completion by October 15, 2018.

Manger Sanders abstained from the motion.

Motion 18-165: Approve a construction services agreement with Outdoor Lab, Inc. for construction of the Lake McCarrons Raingarden Project for an amount not to exceed $136,000 and authorize the Administrator to execute amendments for an amount not to exceed $13,600.

September 5, 2018 Board Meeting V. Action Item E) Adopt Preliminary 2019 Budget and Levy (Doneux)

DATE: TO: FROM: RE:

August 28, 2018 CRWD Board of Managers Mark Doneux, Administrator Adopt Preliminary 2019 Budget and Levy

Background The Board has discussed and reviewed the preliminary 2019 Budget and Tax Levy during meetings and workshops this summer. The Board of Managers held a special workshop on August 1, 2018 to review the draft budget and levy. The Citizen’s Advisory Committee reviewed and recommended approval on the proposed 2019 budget and levy at their August 8th meeting. A duly noticed Public Hearing was held on August 15th to collect public comment on the proposed 2019 budget and levy. The Board of Managers must adopt a Preliminary 2019 Budget and Levy Certification before the initial September 15, 2018 deadline.

Issues I am recommending that the Board adopt the preliminary budget and levy as presented. The District has not received any comments as of August 28th. If the Board were to consider a change in the budget or levy, I would recommend doing that at the December, Final Levy Certification to allow for better estimating of fund balance as well as external budget requests.

Staff is recommending the preliminary budget of $437,340 for Administration, $2,919,112 for Programs, $1,357,648 for Projects for a total Operations Budget of $4,714,100 and $4,175,479 for Capital Improvement Projects. This results in a total Preliminary 2019 Budget of $8,889,973. This is a decrease of $3,918,985 from 2018. The proposed 2019 tax levy is $7,055,479. This includes $5,995,976 for the operations and capital levy and $1,059,503 for debt. This levy is $525,479 higher than 2018.

Requested Action Approve and adopt the Preliminary 2019 Budget and Levy Certification. enc:

September 5, 2018 Board Meeting V. Action Items C) 2019 Special Grant Updates and Request for Applications (Zwonitzer) DATE: TO: FROM: RE:

August 23, 2018 CRWD Board of Managers Nate Zwonitzer, Water Resource Project Manager Approve Special Grant Program Updates and Authorize 2019 Special Grant Program Request for Applications

Background Each year CRWD allocates funds for budget 440-Special Projects and Grants. The goal of this program is to partner with government units and other entities (public and private) to cooperatively implement highly visible and/or innovative capital improvement projects for water resource protection and improvement.

Issues Improvements to the Special Grant Program have been developed for 2019. Staff recommend splitting the program into separate grants for planning and construction under the Special Grant Program umbrella and have added more detail to the evaluation criteria. This will make it easier to compare projects during evaluation and will reduce the amount of construction funds committed by CRWD to projects in the beginning stages of planning. The goal of Special Grants and types of projects likely to be funded are largely the same. The two programs are outlined below, and detailed program descriptions and applications are enclosed.

Water Quality Planning Grants • Provide financial assistance to prepare feasibility studies and advance designs of innovative water quality improvement projects • Application cycle: year-round (ongoing) • Review process: Evaluation by staff, approval by Board for projects exceeding $20,000 • 2019 Grant Award Budget (390-19660): $75,000 Water Quality Capital Improvement Project Grants (Water Quality CIP Grants) • Provide financial assistance for final engineering and construction of innovative water quality improvement projects. Minimum of completed feasibility study required.

• Application cycle: 1-2 times/year depending on available funding and quality of applications • Review process: Committee review (staff, Board, CAC) and recommendation to Board for approval.

• 2019 Grant Award Budget (440-19910): $350,000 Staff will distribute the grant solicitation for 2019 Water Quality CIP Grants to the attached list and any additional organizations suggested by the Board of Managers. Below is an estimated timeline for this grant cycle.

Our Mission is to protect, manage and improve the water resources of Capitol Region Watershed District.

2019 Water Quality CIP Grants Timeline: Task Date Board authorizes RFA for 2019 Water Quality CIP Grants and identifies September 5, 2018 two representatives for the review committee September 6, 2018 September 12, 2018 October 31, 2018 November 2018 December 5, 2018 December 2018

RFA for 2019 Special Grants distributed CAC identifies one representative for Special Grant Review Committee Grant proposals due Joint-committee makes funding recommendations for Board approval Board approves grant awards 2019 grant recipients notified – begin developing grant agreements

Staff request that the Board establish a 2019 Water Quality CIP Grant Review Committee and select two Board members to serve and will request that the CRWD CAC select one member to serve on the committee.

Action Requested 1. Approve updates to Special Grant Program 2. Authorize distribution of the 2019 Special Grant Program Request for Applications. enc:
