4. Provide a copy of the NPDES permit. 5. Revise site‐specific maintenance plan to address the following: a. Remove the footer that references “UST 2nd Year Housing”. b. Include rain guardian device location on exhibit sheet and provide inspection and maintenance details for the pretreatment device. c. Include additional inspection and maintenance activities to address functionality of iron enhanced sand. 6. Revise plans to address the following: a. Revise underdrain design for the biofiltration basin and CMP filtration system to accommodate the following, as recommended by the Minnesota Stormwater Manual: i. Perforations should be 3/8 inches. Note on Underdrain Detail on Sheet C501 references 3‐inch perforations. ii. Underdrain pipes should have a minimum of three inches of washed #57 stone above and on each side of the pipe (stone is not required below the pipe). Above the stone, two inches of choking stone is needed to protect the underdrain from blockage. Current design shows three inches of Course Filter Aggregate surrounding the underdrain, which is an acceptable alternative to the washed #57 stone; however, two inches of choking stone is not provided. Choking stone is recommended to prevent sand from migrating into the course filter aggregate and the underdrain. iii. Remove porous filter fabric from around draintile. Raingarden detail on Sheet C501 references that the draintile will be wrapped with three inches of rock and a porous filter fabric. Two inches of chocking stone shall take the place of the filter fabric as specified in Condition 6.a.ii. iv. Increase filtration media depth to at least 18", as recommended by the Minnesota Stormwater Manual. Depth of filter media is calculated from the top of the filter media to the top of the choking stone around the drain tile. Raingarden Detail on Sheet C501 shows 2.5’ depth of sand measurement, but top of sand elevation (707.5’) – bottom of sand (705.25’) = 2.25’ depth of sand. Revise bottom of sand elevation to 705.0’. b. Provide a site‐specific cross‐section detail for the Underground CMP Filtration system that includes inverts of sand, draintile, rock, and CMP. c. Show location of permanently reinforced EOF for the biofiltration basin. EOF shall be at least 0.5’ below top of berm and permanent energy dissipation/stabilization of EOF shall extend to the toe of the slope to prevent erosion. Response to CRWD comments dated 4/25/19 indicate that EOF is at an elevation of 710.5’ and top of berm is at an elevation of 711.0’; however, the 711’ contour does not continue around the entire raingarden, indicating that the top of berm is less than 711.0’ d. Revise Raingarden Detail on Sheet C501 to specify the filtration media shall include 5% iron filings by weight as indicated in the Stormwater Management Plan. The submitted narrative and calculations note iron‐enhanced sand, but this was not indicated in the plans. If iron‐enhanced media is intended to be used, plants are not recommended in the bottom of the basin. 7. Revise HydroCAD or Plans to correspond for the following: W:\07 Programs\Permitting\2019\19-015 Waterford Bay\19-015 Permit Report_R2.doc Page 5 of 6

a. Pond 30P (Underground Filtration): i. Invert of 24” pipe storage is 704.0’ in HydroCAD and 704.46’ on Sheet C600 in the plans. Additionally, each upstream pipe storage with a different slope shall be modeled as a different pipe storage with the correct invert elevation (i.e. slope in HydroCAD is 0.50% and slopes for those pipes in the plans are 0.93%, 0.46% and 0.40%). ii. 6” orifices in weir wall of OCS 101 are shown with vertical orientation on Sheet C502 in the plans but are modeled with horizontal orientation in HydroCAD. b. Pond 28P (Filtration Basin South): i. Diameter of the horizontal grate is 27” in HydroCAD and 48” in the raingarden detail on Sheet C501 in the plans. 8. Revise pervious curve numbers for the existing HydroCAD model. Review of recent aerial photos shows good vegetation coverage over the existing site. CRWD recommends a combination of CN 74 for areas of HSG C with good (>75%) grass cover and CN 65 for areas of HSG C with brush and grass combination.

The CLMP presents an adaptive management plan framework for achieving water quality goals for Como Lake through in-lake, watershed, and community actions over the next 20 years. As part of the CLMP, an alum treatment was recommended (Action L2) to inactivate sediment phosphorus, which is the most significant source of internal phosphorus loading in the lakw. An alum treatment is a nontoxic method that involves the application of aluminum sulfate to the lake surface by boat. Following application, the alum moves through the water column to the lake bottom where it chemically reacts with the lake bottom sediments to “lock up” phosphorus so it is not available for algae to consume. To determine the amount of alum that needs to be applied to the lake so internal phosphorus loading is most effectively addressed, an alum dosing plan needs to be developed that is based on monitored water column phosphorus concentrations and phosphorus fractions from sediment cores. To develop an alum dosing plan and specification for bidding, CRWD sought a proposal from LimnoTech. LimnoTech was selected because of their significant involvement in calculating internal phosphorus loading in Como Lake in the Como Lake Water Quality Drivers Analysis Study (2017) combined with their extensive experience in developing alum dosing plans, providing bidding assistance, and carrying out alum treatments. Issues Staff have worked with LimnoTech to develop a scope of work, budget, and schedule for the development of alum plans and specifications for Como Lake. Staff recommend approval and will review the proposal with the Managers. Fiscal Note: 2019 CRWD Budget Fund 405-19703: Como In-Lake Management-- $224,600. Requested Action Approve scope of work and budget for development of Como Lake Alum Plans and Specifications; and authorize the Administrator to execute a professional services agreement with LimnoTech for an amount not to exceed $33,710.00. enc:

Britta Belden Bob Fossum Capitol Region Watershed District 595 Aldine Street Saint Paul, MN 55104 RE: Proposal to Develop Alum Plans and Specifications for Como Lake Dear Bob and Britta: As requested, this letter proposal includes scope and fees to calculate an alum (aluminum sulfate) dose for Como Lake, develop the specifications and bid documents, provide bidding assistance, public information meeting support and permitting support, and oversight and field support during the alum application. Thank you for the opportunity to submit a proposal to conduct this work for the Capitol Region Watershed District (CRWD). LimnoTech began supporting CRWD's efforts to improve Como Lake in 2016 with the Water Quality Drivers Analysis Study. Through that project, we established a fundamental understanding of the major drivers of water quality in Como Lake, which include continued external loading of phosphorus, high rates of diffusive sediment flux of phosphorus driven by low oxygen conditions, phosphorus release from decaying aquatic plants (primarily curly-leaf pondweed), and an imbalanced aquatic biological community. That understanding created a solid foundation for LimnoTech to continue supporting CRWD with development of the Como Lake Management Plan beginning in 2018. LimnoTech worked closely with CRWD to develop the Como Lake Management Plan, which takes an adaptive approach to the short-term and long-term management of Como Lake. A key component of the planning process involved meeting with agency partners and engaging with the community to identify the major issues facing Como Lake and community goals for the future of the lake, and to develop in-lake, watershed, and community-based actions that will meet those goals. In order to reduce diffusive flux of phosphorus from the sediments, LimnoTech recommended that alum treatment be implemented in the first three years following plan adoption. Alum is a coagulant that is applied to lakes to bind with phosphorus thereby making it unavailable for algae growth and has been shown to reduce sediment phosphorus flux by 85-90%. Combined with our experience with developing alum dose strategies elsewhere, our foundational understanding of the Como Lake Water Quality Drivers Study and the Como Lake Management Plan make us uniquely qualified to calculate the appropriate alum dose for Como Lake, efficiently develop associated documentation and provide related support with the application. Since 1975, LimnoTech has conducted inland lake work all across the country, which includes diagnostics, modeling, regulatory support, restoration and management. Our first experience with alum treatments to inland lakes began in the early 1980s in Michigan, which was led by Dr. Joseph Depinto. Since that time, the science behind alum treatment and design has evolved

Alum Application Plans and Specifications for Como Lake

June 27, 2019

leading to a better understanding of the basis for design. Currently, our alum related work is led by Dr. Dendy Lofton, who is the practice lead for LimnoTech’s Lake & Reservoir Restoration & Management service area. As a Certified Lake Manager through the North American Lake Management Society (NALMS), Dendy has participated in training workshops on alum applications and has a deep, technical understanding of the latest state of the science with regard to alum treatment design and implementation. Dr. Lofton has applied her technical understanding to our most recent alum project in Lake San Marcos (California). Lake San Marcos is a highly valued recreational reservoir in San Marcos, CA with extensive internal and external phosphorus loading. Hypolimnetic total phosphorus concentration has approached 600 µg/L in summer, which is a function of anoxia-driven internal phosphorus loads. LimnoTech and the client group have taken an adaptive management approach to the alum applications given the high in-lake phosphorus and continued watershed loads. Three alum treatments have been applied to the lake to-date, which have significantly lowered the in-lake phosphorus concentration following treatment. In 2018, LimnoTech designed and implemented a pilot study to treat the lake inflows with an alum-based compound (aluminum chlorohydrate, ACH) to intercept the phosphorus prior to entering the lake. The pilot test successfully reduced the external phosphorus load to the lake indicating that a scaled-up permanent system would be an effective management action for Lake San Marcos. Dendy is also currently designing an alum dose strategy for 11 small lakes in the Ibis Lakes Preserve near West Palm Beach, Florida, which will be implemented later this year. Drs. Dilks and Lofton have collected sediment cores for determination of the phosphorus fractionation species that will serve as the basis for the alum application to the sediments. This project is also taking an adaptive management approach. The response of the lakes to the alum treatments will be monitored and assessed over time with the feasibility of an inflow treatment system being a future recommended action for management of the system as a whole. A detailed description of the scope and fees to complete this work is provided below.

Scope of Work The scope of work described in this proposal includes the following tasks: 

Task 1: Develop alum dose and application strategy



Task 2: Develop alum application specifications



Task 3: Bidding Assistance



Task 4: Public Information Meetings



Task 5: Permitting



Task 6: Alum application oversight and monitoring

Activities that will be completed under each task are described below. Task 1: Develop alum dose and application strategy LimnoTech will develop an appropriate alum (aluminum sulfate) dose for Como Lake, which will be informed by existing sediment phosphorus data that was measured in intact sediment cores in Page | 2

Alum Application Plans and Specifications for Como Lake

June 27, 2019

2016. The existing sediment phosphorus data includes labile organic phosphorus, iron-bound phosphorus, aluminum-bound phosphorus, and loosely-bound phosphorus. Recent total phosphorus water column data will also be incorporated into the dose determination. LimnoTech will evaluate whether a buffer will be needed based on pH measurements and alkalinity measurements, which we assume will be collected in summer 2019. LimnoTech will develop a technical memo that summarizes the alum dose analysis and application strategy which will be reviewed and discussed with CRWD prior to developing the technical specifications and bid documents. The information in this technical memo will serve as the basis for the technical specifications and bid documents, which will be developed in Tasks 2 and 3. The technical memo will include recommendations and considerations for the timing of the alum application (e.g. seasonal, suitable pH ranges, etc.) as well as considerations for timing of anticipated herbicide treatments to manage curly-leaf pondweed. LimnoTech has included time and budget under this task for close coordination with CRWD to discuss the plans and finalize the technical memorandum as well as time for participation in one CRWD Board meeting to discuss the alum application plan. Deliverable(s): Draft and final technical memo documenting the alum application plan. Task 2: Develop alum application specifications Based on the final approved alum application plan developed in Task 1, LimnoTech will prepare technical specifications for the alum application, which will include, but not limited to the following critical information:  Background project information  Specified volume of alum based on the dose developed in Task 1, including whether a buffer will be needed.  Locations within the lake (e.g. all or portions of the lake or how the dose may vary with depth as a function of sediment phosphorus)  Timing (i.e. time of the year the alum will be applied)  Equipment requirements (e.g. GPS-linked capabilities for the barge system to ensure high degree of dose specificity and boom structures on the barge that are capable of discharging alum 1-2 inches below the water surface)  Alum delivery and staging (e.g., shoreline location where tanks can be stored with accessibility from the lake for barge to reload and landside accessibility for delivery trucks and staging).  Chemical hazards and steps for risk reduction.  Other necessary details to complete the work by an approved alum applicator, which will be determined as part of this task. Deliverable(s): Alum application project specifications. Task 3: Bidding Assistance Using the information in the alum specifications (Task 2), LimnoTech will develop bid documents to be used for contracting with an alum applicator. LimnoTech will assist CRWD with distribution of the bid documents, answering questions from bidders, reviewing responses, and providing a recommendation for contractor selection. LimnoTech will participate in pre-bid meetings with

Page | 3

Alum Application Plans and Specifications for Como Lake

June 27, 2019

CRWD as needed to make the final determination for a contractor. Bid documents will be signed by a Professional Engineer licensed in Minnesota. Deliverable(s): Bid documents and bidding assistance. Task 4: Public Information Meetings As part of this task, LimnoTech will participate in up to two public information meetings to describe the forthcoming alum treatment and to answer questions. LimnoTech will assist CRWD in preparing presentation materials for the meetings and general coordination for meetings as well as meeting participation. Deliverable(s): Presentation materials Task 5: Permitting Currently, permits are not required to apply alum to lakes in Minnesota. However, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) does request a letter that explains the overall dose and how many applications are expected. This information will largely be a summary from the technical memo developed in Task 1 and the technical specifications developed in Task 2. As part of Task 3, LimnoTech will develop a letter to summarize the requested information and coordinate with the MPCA to answer any questions regarding the alum application. This task also includes time and budget for close coordination with MPCA and CRWD to fulfill MPCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request for a letter. Deliverable(s): Letter to MPCA. Task 6: Alum application oversight and monitoring It is expected that the alum application can be completed within two days, which includes initial set-up and application. LimnoTech will be on location during the initial set-up and during the application to provide oversight and answer contractor questions to ensure progress, record field notes and photos, and monitor pH throughout the process. If more detailed water quality monitoring is warranted before, during or after the alum application, LimnoTech will provide guidance to CRWD on water quality sampling needs. In that case, LimnoTech assumes that CRWD staff will be able to assist with water quality sampling beyond pH monitoring. LimnoTech also assumes that CRWD will lead coordination and scheduling with the alum contractor. Deliverable(s): Contractor oversight, field notes, and photo documentation.

July 10, 2019 Board Meeting V. C) Action Item – Approve Stewardship Grant Calculator – Equity Bonus (Eleria / Novak)

DATE: TO: FROM: RE:

July 2, 2019 CRWD Board of Managers Andrew Novak, Urban BMP Specialist Approve Stewardship Grant Calculator – Equity Bonus

Background Capitol Region Watershed District’s MN GreenCorps Member presented the Stewardship Grant Project Assessment in July of 2018. The report presented calculated pollution reductions of the program, locations of program participants, and analysis of the program’s success. With the information compiled in the report, staff have been able to ascertain the geographic reach of the program, locate gaps in service, and begin the process of developing strategies for implementing projects in areas of need. Issues Through analysis of the Stewardship Grant program, staff have observed striking disparity in project participation within several areas of CRWD. These disparities overlap with several key demographics including concentrations of poverty and large percentage of people of color. Our Stewardship Grant program has been very successful in areas with high numbers of affluent, highly educated white residents but has clear gaps of service in historically underrepresented neighborhoods with higher numbers of people of color. As a first step to increase diversity of project participants and to promote services provided through the CRWD Stewardship Grant program, staff recommend applying a Stewardship Grant Equity Bonus in the following Saint Paul District Councils: North End Neighborhood Organization, Payne-Phalen Planning Council, Frogtown Neighborhood Association and Dayton’s Bluff Community Council. The suggested Equity Bonus is a 50% grant award bonus as part of our existing Stewardship Grant Calculator and reduction in match requirements. Enclosed is a technical memo summarizing the program analysis conducted to determine the grant calculator bonus and target areas for applying the bonus. Staff will be coordinating a focused promotional effort with target District Councils and attend area community events this summer and fall to build relationships with residents and community leaders.

DATE: TO: FROM: RE:

July 2, 2019 CRWD Board of Managers and Staff Andrew Novak, Urban BMP Specialist Stewardship Grant Calculator – Equity Bonus Technical Memo

Background Capitol Region Watershed District’s (CRWD) Stewardship Grant Program provides homeowners, institutional organizations, and businesses with financial and technical assistance to build water quality improvement best management practices (BMPs) that protect and improve water resources in the District. Between 2005-2018 the District has provided technical assistance for 312 participants. Of that number, 185 have received funding to implement a project. To date, Stewardship Grant projects capture an estimated 17 million gallons of runoff and prevent 52 pounds of phosphorous and 15,000 pounds of sediment from polluting local water resources. Issues In July 2018, CRWD’s MN GreenCorps Member presented the Stewardship Grant Program Assessment Report. The purpose of the report was to present the calculated pollution reduction of the program, locations of the program participants, and share analysis of the program’s success. With the information compiled for this report, staff are better able to ascertain the geographic reach of the program throughout CRWD, locate gaps in service, and begin the process of developing strategies for implementing projects in areas of need. The number of projects per square mile (PSM) was calculated for each subwatershed and can be used to identify areas throughout CRWD that may benefit from targeted promotion of the Stewardship Grant Program to increase participation. Sub-watersheds that fall below the median 4.03 PSM are shown on Figure A – Subwatersheds with Low Projects per Square Mile. Figure A – Subwatersheds with Low Projects per Square Mile

The results show the eight sub-watersheds with the lowest number of participants. The top two lowest sub-watersheds have very few opportunities because of landcover type, ownership and/or size will not allow for projects. Also, of note is the Downtown subwatershed, coming in as the fourth lowest PSM and has very few opportunities because of the high- density of development. For reasons we will discuss further, the subwatersheds of most interest are Trout Brook and Phalen Creek which have many opportunities, but very few project participants. On February 2, 2018, a Stewardship Grant survey was mailed to all program participants with rain gardens. The survey was designed to gain a better understanding of our project participants regarding their experience with the Stewardship Grant program and their behaviors regarding the required maintenance commitment. Four optional demographic questions at the end of the survey were used to collect data regarding age, education, race/ethnicity, and annual household income. 222 surveys were mailed, and 82 participants responded (37% response rate). Of the respondents that answered all four demographic questions, most were older, white, wealthy and highly educated (Table 1). Table 1. Stewardship Grantee Demographics

In response to this apparent lack of diversity amongst participating survey respondents, CRWD staff compared demographic data provided by the Metropolitan Council with the District’s areas of low PSM. The Met Council datasets of interest are the Areas of Concentrated Poverty and Percent People of Color. A commonly used aggregate of these two datasets is referred to as the Areas of Racially Concentrated Poverty With 50% or Greater Residents of Color (ACP 50). Staff observed a striking overlap between areas of low PSM and the ACP50, particularly within the Trout Brook and Phalen Creek sub-watersheds (Figure B – Map of ACP 50 with CRWD Subwatersheds and District Councils). This observation is further supported by our survey results showing most of our program participants are older, white, wealthy and highly educated. Because CRWD’s mission is to protect, manage and improve water resources throughout the District it is imperative that efforts are made to both increase program participation in areas with few Stewardship Grant projects and attract participants who have been historically Our mission is to protect, manage and improve the water resources of Capitol Region Watershed District.

underrepresented in the program. This directive is further supported by the implementation of the CRWD 2018-2020 Diversity Strategic Plan which calls for actionable steps to expand the reach of our programming and deepen relationships with underserved communities throughout CRWD. Recommendations To increase diversity of project participants and promote equitable access to services provided through the CRWD Stewardship Grant program, staff recommend implementing a Stewardship Grant Equity Bonus. The bonus is a 50% grant award bonus as part of our existing Stewardship Grant Calculator. This Equity Bonus would function like the current Education and Visibility Bonus. These bonuses are based on a percentage of the base award generated by the Grant Calculator which calculates award amounts based on the water quality benefit of the proposed project. Staff also proposes adjustments to the minimum match requirements as follows: 0% for residential (currently 5%), 5% for nonprofit (no change), 10% for businesses (currently 25%). See Table 2 for proposed match requirements. The proposed total grant award with an equity bonus and revised minimum match requirements cannot exceed the CRWD cost estimate for the project. To illustrate the effects of the Equity Bonus, an example of grant award adjustments has been produced by applying the bonus to 2018 Stewardship Grant projects as seen in Table 3 – Equity Bonus Sample Adjustments. Please note that not all projects listed in the table fall within the bonus area. Staff is working to develop a course of action for promoting the Stewardship Grant Program in underserved areas. We have concluded that the District Councils located in the areas of concern could provide a great deal of social capital towards promotion of our Stewardship Grant program. Therefore, it is proposed that promotion be focused within these four targeted St. Paul District Councils – Frogtown, North End Neighborhood Organization, Payne-Phalen, and Figure B. CRWD Subwatersheds with Low PSM, Dayton’s Bluff. These four District District Councils and ACP50 Councils overlap with CRWD subwatersheds of low PSM as well as the geographic boundary of the ACP 50 (Figure B).

Developing an engagement strategy for these promotional initiatives is a partnership between the Planning, Projects, and Grants Division and the Communications and Engagement Division of CRWD. Upon approval of the Equity Bonus as outlined within this Technical Memo, staff will coordinate District Council meetings with the District Council Executive Directors to share our grant programs and our interest in improving our promotional efforts within their communities. We will attend District Council meetings when possible and ask for input from District Council members regarding best practices for better reaching their constituencies We will discuss the issues presented within this Tech Memo and our desire to better reach areas of CRWD currently underserved by our services. Staff is also planning to incorporate promotion of our Stewardship Grant program for residents at scheduled community events within these four District Councils. Table 2.
