DATE: TO: FROM: RE:

September 25, 2019 CRWD Board of Managers Elizabeth Hosch Permit Closeouts

Background Construction activity is complete for permits #11-017 Hmongtown Marketplace and #13-018 Prince Street Erosion and Sediment Control.

Issues Hmongtown Marketplace #11-017 This permit was issued for parking lot redevelopment at the Hmongtown Marketplace at Como and Pennsylvania in St. Paul. Stormwater is treated via one surface filtration basin on the south side of the parking lot. The site is stable and the stormwater treatment system has been confirmed functional.

Modification to the basin outlet structure was made in 2014 after the initial construction to address some function issues. There is no surety to return because the original surety check bounced and no replacement was provided.

Prince Street ESC #13-018 This permit was issued for the reconstruction of Prince Street and connection roads in Lowertown St. Paul. Stormwater is treated with a historic permeable paver section and withdrawal of 7,303 cf from the volume bank. The site is stable and the stormwater treatment system has been confirmed functional. No surety was required for this public project.

Action Requested Approve Certificate of Completion for permit #11-017 Hmongtown Marketplace.

Approve withdrawal of 7,303 cf from the St. Paul Public Works volume bank and Certificate of Completion for permit #13-018 Prince Street Erosion and Sediment Control.

HISTORY & CONSIDERATIONS:

A 2016 CRWD stewardship grant provided funding for existing basins D, E, and F, all of which will be relocated as a part of the project. Calculations by Ramsey Conservation District dated 9/21/16 indicate that Basins D, E, and F had a total storage volume of 2,260 ft3.

RULE C: STORMWATER MANAGEMENT Standards  Proposed discharge rates for the 2‐, 10‐, and 100‐year events shall not exceed existing rates.  Developments and redevelopments must reduce runoff volumes in the amount equivalent to an inch of runoff from the impervious areas of the site.  Stormwater must be pretreated before discharging to infiltration areas to maintain the long‐term viability of the infiltration area.  Developments and redevelopments must incorporate effective non‐point source pollution reduction BMPs to achieve 90% total suspended solid removal.

Findings 1. A hydrograph method based on sound hydrologic theory is used to analyze runoff for the design or analysis of flows and water levels.

2. Runoff rates for the proposed activity do not exceed existing runoff rates for the 2‐, 10‐, and 100‐year critical storm events. Stormwater leaving the project area is discharged into a well‐defined receiving channel or pipe and routed to a public drainage system.

3. Stormwater runoff volume retention is not achieved onsite in the amount equivalent to the runoff generated from 1.1‐inch of rainfall over the impervious surfaces of the development. a. The amount of proposed impervious is 32,510 ft2. b. Volume retention required: 32,510 ft2 x 1.1 inches x 1 ft/12 inches = 2,980 ft3

Table 1. Proposed volume retention through abstraction (i.e. infiltration, reuse).

Volume Volume Retention 1.1‐inch 2.5‐inch Retention Runoff Runoff BMP Provided below Required (cu. ft.) (cu. ft.) outlet (cu. ft.) (cu. ft.)

2,980 None, filtration is proposed.

4. Alternative compliance has been requested due to poorly infiltrating soils. a. The applicant did not partially comply with the volume retention standard. b. Filtration using sand media (55% credit) is proposed; filtration required: 2,980 ft3 x 1.82 credit factor = 5,424 ft3 + 2,260 ft3 from relocated filtration basins = 7,684 ft3

Filtration Basin 7,694 4,086 9,287 7,684 Total 7,694 cf

i. Filtration volume and facility size has been calculated using the appropriate hydrologic soil group classification and design filtration rate. ii. The filtration area is capable of filtering the required volume within 48 hours. iii. Stormwater runoff is pretreated to remove solids before discharging to filtration areas. c. The applicant did not partially comply with the volume retention standard at an offsite location or through the use of qualified banking credits. d. The applicant has not submitted money to be contributed to the Stormwater Impact Fund. e. The project is not linear.

5. Best management practices achieve 90% total suspended solids removal from the runoff generated on an annual basis.

6. A maintenance agreement recorded with Ramsey County has not been submitted.

7. Adequate maintenance access is provided for surface system. A site‐specific plan, schedule, and narrative for maintenance of the proposed stormwater management practices has been submitted.

RULE D: FLOOD CONTROL Standards  Compensatory storage shall be provided for fill placed within the 100‐year floodplain.  All habitable buildings, roads, and parking structures on or adjacent to a project site shall comply with District freeboard requirements.

Findings 1. There is no floodplain on the property according to FEMA. 2. All habitable buildings, roads, and parking structures on or adjacent to the project site comply with CRWD freeboard requirements.

RULE E: WETLAND MANAGEMENT

Standard  Wetlands shall not be drained, filled (wholly or in part), excavated, or have sustaining hydrology impacted such that there will be a decrease in the inherent (existing) functions and values of the wetland.  A minimum buffer of 25 feet of permanent nonimpacted vegetative ground cover abutting and surrounding a wetland is required.

W:\07 Programs\Permitting\2019\19-020 Harambee addition and remodel\19-020 Permit Report_R3.doc Page 3 of 4

Findings 1. There are wetlands located on the west and southwest side of the property as identified by the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI). The proposed work is outside of the wetland boundaries, but the site discharges to the wetlands.

2. It is not known if CRWD staff has reviewed and approved the delineated wetland boundaries.

3. No wetland or buffer impacts are proposed.

4. WCA sequencing has been adequately addressed.

5. A 25‐foot buffer is not required.

RULE F: EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL Standards  A plan shall demonstrate that appropriate erosion and sediment control measures protect downstream water bodies from the effects of a land‐disturbing activity.  Erosion Control Plans must adhere to the MPCA Protecting Water Quality in Urban Areas Manual.

Findings 1. Erosion and sediment control measures are consistent with best management practices, as demonstrated in the MPCA manual Protecting Water Quality in Urban Areas.

2. Adjacent properties are protected from sediment transport/deposition.

3. Wetlands, waterbodies and water conveyance systems are protected from erosion/sediment transport/deposition.

4. Total disturbed area is 1.23 acres; an NPDES permit is required. A SWPPP has been submitted.

RULE G: ILLICIT DISCHARGE AND CONNECTION Standard  Stormwater management and utility plans shall indicate all existing and proposed connections from developed and undeveloped lands for all water that drains to the District MS4.

Findings 1. New direct connections or replacement of existing connections are not proposed.

2. Prohibited discharges are not proposed.

October 2, 2019 Board Meeting IV. Special Reports - Lake McCarrons Management Plan (Sellner)

DATE: TO: FROM: RE:

September 25, 2019 CRWD Board of Managers Joe Sellner, Water Resource Specialist Lake McCarrons Management Plan – Goals and Objectives

Background In 2003, the District adopted its first Lake McCarrons Management Plan. The Plan has served the District and it partners well over the past 15 years and has guided work to allow Lake McCarrons to maintain high water quality.

Issues Staff have been working with Barr Engineering staff to draft a new Lake McCarrons Management Plan.

With the input of CRWD staff and an agency advisory group, a draft set of goals and objectives for the management plan has been created. Additionally, Barr was tasked with evaluating whether the total phosphorus (TP) goal for Lake McCarrons from the 2003 plan is still valid. Staff will review the draft goals and objectives as well as the findings of the TP goal analysis with the Managers.

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

Technical Memorandum To: Bob Fossum and Joe Sellner, Capitol Region Watershed District (CRWD) From: Greg Wilson and Erin Anderson Wenz, Barr Engineering Company (Barr) Subject: Lake McCarrons Management Plan: Issues and Goals for Inclusion in Overall CRWD Management Plan Date: September 25, 2019 Project: Lake McCarrons Management Plan This memorandum is intended to identify, define and confirm the Lake McCarrons-specific issues, goals

and objectives that warrant inclusion in the 2020 Lake McCarrons Management Plan (2020 Plan) and the

2020 CRWD Watershed Management Plan. Water quality issues and goals from the 2003 Lake McCarrons Management Plan (2003 Plan) are reevaluated in this memo through an updated analysis of recent

monitoring data, as well as input from the Lake McCarrons Agency Advisory Group in order to determine

if 2003 Plan goals and objectives are met and/or whether new goals and objectives should be adopted. In addition, we review the aquatic invasive species goals recently developed for CRWD in the context of both

legacy and newly discovered invasive species in the lake.

2003 Management Plan Goals and Objectives The 2003 Plan developed goals, objectives and recommended management actions based on input from stakeholder advisory groups that did not limit their attention to solely water quality concerns. The 2003

Plan considered any concern relative to the quality, condition and aesthetic appeal of Lake McCarrons.

Specifically, the 2003 Plan addressed the following topics: water quality improvement, nuisance aquatic plant control, fisheries, recreational use, winterkill, wetland system operation and coordination among jurisdictions. In addition to management plan administration, coordination and oversight (including

monitoring, education and reporting), the 2003 Plan set the goals and objectives (with corresponding

management actions for each) shown in Attachment A.

CRWD staff are familiar with the 2003 goals, objectives, and management actions that have been

previously implemented or further developed, although several of the goals and objectives require

commitments from outside agencies such as Ramsey County Parks, City of Roseville and the Minnesota

Department of Natural Resources (MnDNR). As a result, the Lake McCarrons Management Plan Agency Advisory Group was convened on June 25, 2019 to consider all of the 2003 goals and objectives and to

review management actions to assist CRWD in determining what topics should remain in the 2020 Plan,

and which should be eliminated. Notes compiled from the Agency Advisory Group meeting are included in Attachment B to this memo.

Analysis of Updated Monitoring Data This section provides an updated analysis of the monitoring data to determine which of the 2003 Plan

water quality goals and objectives should be brought into the 2020 Plan. This analysis includes evaluation of lake water quality monitoring and biological data to determine whether the following management plan-specific objectives or state standards are met: •

Manage phosphorus so summer average lake concentration is 33 µg/L or less (2003 Plan-specific

objective).

•

Keep winter dissolved oxygen concentrations above 3 mg/L in the top four feet of the lake during the winter (2003 Plan-specific objective)

•

Monitor Lake McCarrons for new invasive species infestations (2003 Plan-specific objective)

In addition, chloride concentrations in the lake were evaluated to determine if a chloride-specific objective should be included in the 2020 Plan (chlorides were not mentioned in the 2003 Plan). The state standard for chloride is defined as not exceeding 230 mg/L chronic state standard for chloride in lakes more than once every three years.

Evaluation of 2003 Plan Goal: “Manage Phosphorus so Summer Average Lake Concentration is 33 µg/L or Less” The 2003 Plan set a Chl-a goal of 10 µg/L based on an observation that, at higher concentrations, algae bloom frequencies and algae nuisance increased to a level commonly perceived to be ‘impaired’ for

swimming (MPCA, 1997. Lake Prioritization for Protecting Swimmable Use.). Based on Lake McCarron’s

historical relationship between summer average total phosphorus (TP) and chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) when the 2003 Plan was written, it was determined that a TP goal of 33 µg/L would likely ensure that the Chl-a goal of 10 µg/L would be met on consistent basis (noted by the red lines on Figure 1). When recent

monitoring data is included in the relationship between TP and Chl-a, the TP concentration associated with the 10 µg/L threshold is even higher (40 µg/L TP).

40 µg/L TP is the state standard for TP in deep lakes in Lake McCarron’s ecoregion (North Central

Hardwood Forest). However, diatom-inferred TP concentrations published by Heiskary and Swain (2002)

indicate that Lake McCarrons’ TP concentrations were likely in the range of 24 to 29 µg/L prior to

European settlement. This confirms that the 33 µg/L TP goal is attainable in Lake McCarrons when

internal and external TP loadings are controlled, and is still considered to be an appropriate goal for the

lake.

Based on the historical relationship between summer average Secchi disc transparency and Chl-a, Figure 2 shows that the current Chl-a goal of 10 µg/L should result in approximately 2.1 m (7 feet) of Secchi disc

transparency. This transparency is also higher than the deep lake standard in Lake McCarron’s ecoregion (1.4 m).

Lake McCarron’s water quality has improved significantly since the 2003 Plan due to an alum treatment in

2004. Since then, the average summer TP has varied between 12 and 25 µg/L with no significant trends (Figure 3).

The average hypolimnetic TP concentration prior to the 2004 alum treatment was 441 µg/L with an

average surface water TP concentration of 39 µg/L. Regression of the average summer epilimnetic (surface water) and hypolimnetic TP concentrations (shown in Figure 6) indicates that epilimnetic TP

concentrations could begin to return to pre-alum treatment levels the when the hypolimnetic TP

concentration returns to approximately 300 µg/L. At this hypolimnetic concentration, the average summer epilimnetic TP concentration is expected to exceed the 33 µg/L goal.

Linear regression of the average summer hypolimnetic (bottom water) TP concentrations since the 2004 alum treatment, shown (and extrapolated) in Figure 7, indicates that it will likely be another 12 years

before the TP concentration returns to 300 µg/L, which is when it is expected that internal phosphorus

loading could be similar to what it was before the alum treatment. This would represent 27 years of alum treatment effectiveness. It should be noted that, while linear regression provided the best fit to the

existing average summer hypolimnetic TP concentrations since the 2004 alum treatment, it is unclear

whether this linear response (while not unexpected) would likely continue into the foreseeable future, as

In summary, managing TP so that the summer average lake concentration is 33 µg/L or less should

continue as the primary goal for Lake McCarrons’ water quality, but the following secondary objectives are also recommended as they can be combined to support the primary TP goal: •

Epilimnetic TP is highly correlated with hypolimnetic TP in Lake McCarrons. Independent analyses

confirmed that the summer average epilimnetic TP concentration could return to what it was

before the alum treatment if the average summer hypolimnetic TP concentration exceeds 300

µg/L. As such, the 300 µg/L threshold can be considered a sign that another alum treatment is

warranted in Lake McCarrons.

•

Subwatershed TP loading targets should be developed to determine when enough BMP treatment has been implemented throughout the watershed.

Evaluation of 2003 Plan Goal: “Keep Dissolved Oxygen Above 3 mg/L in Top Four Feet of Lake During Winter” A review of the winter lake water quality monitoring from 2005 through 2018 indicates that dissolved

oxygen concentrations in the top four feet of Lake McCarrons did not drop below 8.8 mg/L during five of the last fourteen years (2005 through 2018). As a result, it does not appear that winterkill is a serious concern for the lake and this objective does not warrant inclusion in the 2020 Plan.

Evaluation of 2003 Plan Goal: “Monitor Lake McCarrons for New Invasive Species Infestations” The 2003 Plan noted that Eurasian watermilfoil had recently infested the lake and that ‘we do not yet know to what extent it will be problematic in Lake McCarrons.’ In addition, there was an incomplete

baseline to evaluate prior conditions. Curlyleaf pondweed was also present in the 1996 aquatic plant survey.

On August 22, 2019 the MnDNR confirmed that zebra mussels were found in Lake McCarrons. Ramsey County staff conducted a targeted search and confirmed a lakewide zebra mussel presence.

The Lake McCarrons Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Plan was created in 2018 to define the process and

criteria by which AIS will be managed on Lake McCarrons. The goals outlined in the 2018 McCarrons AIS Plan should be referenced in the 2020 Plan. In addition, an aquatic plant management plan should be

updated/developed for Lake McCarrons to define AIS threshold criteria that take seasonality and other factors into account.

Chloride The 2003 Plan did not set goals/objectives for chloride levels, but Lake McCarrons has narrowly missed

the impaired waters list for chloride, with 3 individual exceedances of the 230 mg/L standard spread over time frames greater than 3 years. If the increasing trend shown in Figure 8 continues, it is likely that the

lake will become impaired within the next ten years. The chloride standard necessitates that the surface,

bottom and mid-depth portions of the lake do not exceed an average chloride concentration of 230 mg/L more than once every three years. As a result, it is recommended that the applicable chloride standards are included as a goal in the 2020 Plan.

Summary of Agency Advisory Group input for the 2020 Plan The Lake McCarrons Management Plan Agency Advisory Group was convened on June 25, 2019 to

identify issues and goals for incorporation into the 2020 Plan, as well as to discuss expectations and constraints for the Lake McCarrons planning process.

At the meeting, primary water concerns in Lake McCarrons were focused on watershed and internal

phosphorus loading, chlorides, aquatic plant management (both invasive and non-invasive species),

shoreline erosion, carp, and bacteria (E. Coli, particularly from geese). Water quality concerns about the Villa Park wetlands were specifically noted. The group also acknowledged the lake’s high level of recreational use and the importance of its popular beach.

Mr. Novak, reviewed that in the spring 2014, CRWD began working with the Hamline-Midway Coalition and the City of Saint Paul on a neighborhood-level project for boulevard rain gardens in the Hamline-Midway neighborhood. Since that time, CRWD and the Ramsey County Conservation Division (RCD) staff have continued to meet with property owners interested in constructing and maintaining boulevard rain gardens throughout the District. CRWD and RCD staff have prepared designs and secured permits from the City of St Paul for nine (9) residential boulevard rain gardens. The cost estimate for the project is $80,570. A request for quotes for construction of the raingardens was distributed on August 29th and quotes from contractors are due on September 13th. Funding for the project will come from Stewardship Grant Fund #210-19143 that has a remaining 2019 budget of $300,000. CRWD is executing grant agreements with homeowners adjacent to the raingardens for their maintenance. Mr. Novak shared images of a boulevard curb cut, with the Managers, designed to capture sediment. The Managers were very pleased with Mr. Novak’s review.

Motion 19-184: Approve JL Theis as the contractor for construction of the 2019 CRWD Boulevard Rain Garden Project and authorize the Administrator to execute a construction services agreement for an amount not to exceed $114,507 and amendments to the agreement for an amount not to exceed 10% of the approved contract price.

Adopt Preliminary 2020 Budget and Levy (Doneux)

Administrator Doneux reviewed that each year the Board of Managers must establish a plan of work for the upcoming year, establish a budget based upon the work plan, and establish a levy for the budget. The Board of Managers reviewed the preliminary 2020 Work Plan along with the budget and levy at Board workshops on June 5th and July 24th, as well as at Board Meetings on June 19th and July 10th, 2019. The Citizenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Advisory Committee reviewed and recommended approval of the proposed 2020 budget and levy at their August 14th meeting. A duly noticed Public Hearing was held on August 21st to collect public comment on the proposed 2019 budget and levy. The Board of Managers must adopt a Preliminary 2020 Budget and Levy Certification before the initial September 30, 2019 deadline.

Administrator Doneux recommended that the Board adopt the preliminary budget and levy as presented. The District has not received any comments as of August 30th. If the Board were to consider a change in the budget or levy, Administrator Doneux recommends doing that at the December Final Levy Certification to allow for better estimating of fund balance as well as external budget requests. Administrator Doneux and staff recommended the preliminary budget of $489,830 for Administration, $2,913,972 for Programs, and $1,440,648 for Projects for a total Operations Budget of $4,844,450 and $6,942,533 for Capital Improvement Projects. This results in a total Preliminary 2019 Budget of $11,786,983. This is an increase of $2,099,970 from 2019. The proposed 2020 tax levy is $8,277,699. This includes $7,220,456 for the operations and capital levy and $1,057,243 for debt. This levy is $1,222,220 higher than 2019.

Manager Reider commented about the CAC sharing concerns about funding from other sources.

Administrator Doneux responded that a reduced levy would result in a reduction to projects. President Collins inquired about federal funding for projects. Administrator Doneux replied that funding is available but, difficult to obtain and not for the size of projects in the district.

Motion 19-185: Adopt the Preliminary 2020 Budget and Levy.

DATE: TO: FROM: RE:

September 26, 2019 CRWD Board of Managers Mark Doneux, Administrator Approve Agreement for Building Manager Services

Background In 2012, the Board Meeting the Managers approved an RFP for Real Estate Broker Services. At that meeting it was discussed that the District should solicit professional real estate services to assist in the process of identifying our current and future office space needs as well as assisting with any real estate transactions related to a possible relocation. The Building Committee, consisting of Managers Mary Texer, Mike Thienes and Mark Doneux, recommended and the Board approved the selection of CB Richard Ellis (CBRE) as the Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Real Estate Broker. CRWD discontinued services with CBRE on April 19, 2014 Board meeting. The firm that ranked #2 during the RFP process was Avison Young, (formerly DTZ Americas, Inc.). Avison Young assisted with the identification, due diligence, negotiation and purchase of the 595 Aldine and 1736 Thomas Avenue properties.

Issues In the past year, Avison Young has expanded their real estate service offerings to include building management services. Staff is recommending utilizing Avison Youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s building manager services to assist CRWD with the proper management and care of the properties we own. The agreement provides three main areas of service: 1) Monthly Service Fee $800 or $9,600 Annually 2) Monthly regular and routine inspections and repairs, estimated to be $3432 annually 3) Quarterly HVAC inspections and maintenance of $915/quarter or $3,660 annually These services add up to an estimated total of approximately $17,000. Allowing $3,000 for materials the estimated annual cost for building management by Avison Young is $20,000. CRWD staff will review the proposed scope with the Board and seek Board approval.

Action Requested Approve Agreement for Building Manager Services subject to the review and approval of the Ramsey County Attorney. enc.

October 2, 2019 Board Meeting V. Action Item - C) Approve Amended Per Diem (Doneux)

DATE: TO: FROM: RE:

September 26, 2019 CRWD Board of Managers Mark Doneux, Administrator Approve Amended Per Diem

Background Each year the Board of Managers adopts Administrative Assignments that includes the per diem rate for the upcoming year. At the December 19, 2018 Annual Meeting, the Board of Managers approved a per diem of $75/meeting.

As you are aware, the Watershed District manager per diem bill passed in the Environmental Omnibus Bill at the conclusion of this past legislation session. As a result, Watershed Districts will be able to pay their managers more per day for their service up to $125.

The net impact of this action is $6,000 annually ($50 increase x 5 managers x 2 meetings a month x 12 months). The District can absorb this cost within its administrative budget.

Issues Since the Board has annually set the per diem rate the Board should, by motion, amend the rate to reflect current state law. The Board should also provide direction on Board expenses submitted since the effective date of the which is August 1, 2019.

Action Requested Approve Amended Per Diem to $125

October 2, 2019 Board Meeting V. Action Item - D) Approve Land Acknowledgement Statement (Doneux)

DATE: TO: FROM: RE:

September 27, 2019 CRWD Board of Managers Mark Doneux, Administrator Approve Land Acknowledge Statement

Background A land acknowledgement is a formal statement presented at the beginning of public events and gatherings that recognizes and honors Indigenous Peoples as traditional stewards of the land. Before our 20th Anniversary Celebration, Manager Jones expressed interest in having a land acknowledgement statement done as part of that ceremony. On the occasion of our Grand Opening event, it seems fitting that we develop and adopt a Land Acknowledgement Statement for this and future events.

Issues At the September 4th Board meeting, staff reviewed a draft Land Acknowledgement Statement that has similarities to others in the metro region. The Board also offered some changes to the draft statement.

Staff are also reviewing this draft statement with Ethan Neerdals. Ethan is a Dakota educator and teaches Dakota language. He is also working on the Dakota Water Bar. The following is the draft Land Acknowledgement Statement: Capitol Region Watershed District acknowledges the Dakota peoples on whose land we meet. We thank the Dakota peoples and their relatives for their care of the land, and we recognize their continuing connection to the land, waters and community. We pay our respects to the Dakota and their culture; both past and present.

Staff will bring any other revisions to the Board meeting and will continue to work on how the statement will be incorporated into the Grand Opening Ceremony.
