HISTORY & CONSIDERATIONS: Approval for the initial permit application was made on September 4, 2019, with subsequent extension through September 2, 2021. This current submittal constitutes a reapplication of the permit following that recent expiration. The recent submittal also constitutes an amendment to the original plan with a different stormwater treatment type, and changes to drainage areas and modeling. Storm sewer from this permit (#19-018) connects into storm sewer that receives flow from CRWD Permit #12-012 TIES. Braun Intertec has completed a Phase I Environmental Assessment (ESA) (dated 9/28/20), Phase II ESA (dated 12/21/18), and a Response Action Plan (RAP) and Construction Contingency Plan (dated 6/13/19). 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 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 58,979 square feet. b. Volume retention required: 58,979 ft2 x 1.1 inches x 1 ft/12 inches = 5,406 ft3

Best management practices achieve 90% total suspended solids removal from the runoff generated on an annual basis. A maintenance agreement recorded with Ramsey County has not been submitted. Adequate maintenance access is provided for the underground systems. A sitespecific 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. Findings W:\07 Programs\Permitting\2019\19-018 Amber Union (fka GTA Bldg)\19-018 Permit Report_R7b.doc Page 3 of 4

1. There are no known wetlands located on the property. 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 2.09 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. Recommendation: Approve with 2 Conditions Conditions: 1. Receipt of documentation of maintenance agreement recorded with Ramsey County. 2. Revise proposed HydroCAD or plans to correspond for the following: a.

The applicant claims that the South Lot portion of the project is considered mill and overlay, which is exempt from stormwater treatment. However, the project intends to treat this area anyway and apply for CRWD grant funding. 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 109,125 ft2. b. Volume retention required: 109,125 ft2 x 1.1 inches x 1 ft/12 inches = 10,003 ft3 Table 1. Proposed volume retention through abstraction (i.e. infiltration, reuse). Volume Volume Retention 1.1-inch 2.5-inch Retention BMP Provided below Runoff Runoff Required (ft3) outlet (ft3) (ft3) (ft3) 10,003 None, filtration is proposed. 4. Alternative compliance has been requested due to poor 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: 10,003 ft3 x 1.82 credit factor = 18,206 ft3 Table 2. Proposed volume retention through filtration (i.e. sand, enhanced).

i. Filtration volume and facility sizes have been calculated using the appropriate hydrologic soil group classification and design filtration rate. ii. The filtration areas are 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 proposes to comply with the volume retention standard 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 do not achieve 90% total suspended solids removal from the runoff generated on an annual basis. If the applicant meets the volume retention requirements, the practices will likely achieve 90% removal. 6. A memorandum of agreement for maintenance of stormwater facilities exists between the City of St. Paul and the CRWD. 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. Findings 1. There are no known wetlands located on the property. RULE F: EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL

W:\07 Programs\Permitting\2021\21-027 Como Regional Park Transportation (Pavilion and Golf Lots)\21-027 Permit Report_R2.doc Page 3 of 5

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 5.6 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. Recommendation:

Approve with 7 Conditions

Volume Bank Recommendation:

Approve withdrawal of 1,307 cubic feet of volume reduction credits from the St. Paul Parks and Recreation Bank.

Conditions: 1. Provide approved plans signed by a professional engineer per the Minnesota Board of AELSLAGID. 2. Provide a copy of the NPDES permit. 3. Revise the landscaping plans to address the following: a. Specify potted plants or plugs to vegetate filtration areas. Basin seeding should be avoided. b. Specify deep rooted, salt tolerant, native plants according to Plants for Stormwater Design (Shaw and Schmidt, 2003). c. Provide signage that deters snow management from using the filtration basins for snow storage. 4. Revise Civil Plans to address the following: a. Revise pretreatment design such that the drainage area to the inflow pipe of a sump shall be at least three times greater than the drainage area to the grate above per the University of Minnesota. The proposed sump CB #5 currently

W:\07 Programs\Permitting\2021\21-027 Como Regional Park Transportation (Pavilion and Golf Lots)\21-027 Permit Report_R2.doc Page 4 of 5

6. 7.

receives all flow through the grate, which has a higher risk or sediment resuspension. b. Revise reference for Stormwater Trail on Sheet C104 to call out Detail 2 on Sheet C107, not Sheet C108. Provide project specifications to verify the following: a. Underdrain pipe material, perforation patterns, slotted vs. circular perforations, and orientation. Ensure that hole/slot size is smaller than surrounding rock gradation. b. Biofiltration Media Mix. Revise HydroCAD model to use MnDOT recommended minimum time of concentration for existing subcatchments Golf-N2, Golf-S, Golf-SR, and North-NW to be consistent with methodology used for proposed model. Revise HydroCAD model/Stormwater Report Tables or Civil Plans to correspond for proposed Pond 4P (Basin N-2): a. Top of filter media elevation is 194.75’ in the HydroCAD/Stormwater Report and 194.65’ on Sheet C102 in the Plans. b. Horizontal orifice elevation (low outlet) is 195.5’ in the HydroCAD/Stormwater Report (Device #2) and 195.9’ on Sheet C105 in the plans (CB #3 RIM). Increase volume retention to achieve the required volume noted in Table 2. A possible solution includes converting some or all the basins to use iron-enhanced media. Alternatively, subtract 1,037 ft3 from the City’s Bank ((18,206 ft3 – 16,318 ft3)/1.82 filtration conversion factor). Note that amount to be subtracted from the City’s bank may change based on response to condition 7.

HISTORY & CONSIDERATIONS: Runoff will connect to approved permanent stormwater management outlined in CRWD Permit 20-013 Ford Site Redevelopment Stormwater Master Plan. Block 1 (2.29 ac) was subdivided in early 2020 into lots 1 (1.53 ac) and 2 (0.76 ac). Both lots are designed for 85% impervious area in the Stormwater Master Plan. 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. Stormwater runoff rate, water quality and volume retention were reviewed and approved under CRWD Permit #20-013 (Ford Site Stormwater Master Plan). Therefore, the intent of this review is to verify compliance by comparing the amount of impervious surface approved during review of the Master Plan versus each subsequent private site development project. Table 1. Approved vs. Proposed Impervious Area. Approved Master Plan Site Development Block/Lot Impervious Area (ft2) Impervious Area (ft2) 1/1 56,650 56,076 a. The proposed site new/reconstructed impervious area is equal to or below the impervious area approved in the master plan. b. No additional volume retention is required for this site-specific development. 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. W:\07 Programs\Permitting\2021\21-030, HB Block 1 MOB\21-030 Permit Report_R1b.doc Page 2 of 4

2. All habitable buildings, roads, and parking structures on or adjacent to the project site do not 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. Findings 1. There are no known wetlands located on the property. 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 not 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 not protected from erosion/sediment transport/deposition. 4. Total disturbed area is 1.53 acres; an NPDES permit is required. A SWPPP has been submitted but is not sufficient. 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. Recommendation: Approve with 5 Conditions Conditions: 1. Receipt of $6,400 surety. 2. Provide approved plans signed by a professional engineer per the Minnesota Board of AELSLAGID. 3. Revise erosion control plan to include approved inlet protection for trench drain leading to underground parking.

September 15, 2021 Board Meeting IV. Special Report – Great River Passage Initiatives – River Learning Center and River Balcony (Eleria/deLaittre)

DATE: TO: FROM: RE:

September 9, 2021 CRWD Board of Managers Anna Eleria, Division Manager and Mary deLaittre, Great River Passage Conservancy Great River Passage Initiatives – River Learning Center and River Balcony

Background In 2013, the City of Saint Paul adopted the Great River Passage Master Plan, a comprehensive framework for creating vibrancy in the City’s 3,500 acres of parkland along a 17-mile stretch of the Mississippi River. Three guiding principles – more natural, more urban and more connected, underpin the many goals, objectives and strategies of the plan. The Great River Passage Conservancy (GRPC), an independent, nonprofit fundraising and advocacy organization, was created to support capital projects in this parkland including the River Learning Center and River Balcony. Issues The City, GRPC and other partners are proposing the River Learning Center at Watergate Marina in Crosby Farm Regional Park that will combine an indoor/outdoor space for hands-on programming about the culture, history and ecology of the river with the National Park Service MNRRA Headquarters. Preliminary feasibility studies of the site have been completed including a technical study supported by CRWD in 2017. GRPC is currently fundraising for schematic design of the River Learning Center and anticipates starting design in early 2022. The River Balcony is a 1.5-mile promenade that will connect a series of cohesive public spaces, civic landmarks and development sites along Downtown Saint Paul’s river bluff. The promenade extends from the west at the Xcel Energy Center/RiverCentre to the east at Lower Landing Park. A master plan for the River Balcony was approved by the City in 2017. Schematic design of the River Balcony shall commence this fall with a significant stakeholder and community engagement process. While the fundraising goals for architectural and technical design have been reached, additional funds are still being sought for a robust community engagement effort. At the September 15th Board meeting, Mary deLaittre, Executive Director of GRPC, will give an overview of the two projects, highlight results of preliminary work and outline the next steps and schedule for schematic design of each project. At the following Board meeting on October 6th, CRWD staff will request approval of a grant to GRPC to support schematic design and community engagement. Both projects are identified in the 2021-2030 Watershed Management Plan and the preliminary 2022 budget and workplan. Action Requested None, for your information only Enc.

Motion 21-162: Approve the Workshop Agenda of September 1, 2021. With no changes. Murphy/Sanders Unanimously Approved II.

Discussion Items A)

Redemption of 2007A Bond and Refunding of 2013A Bond

Administrator Doneux provided a review of the 2007A Bond and refunding (refinancing) of the 2013A Bonds. The District has used debt as a form of financing for select projects since 2007. Currently, the District has bonds issued in 2007, 2013 and 2018 and an MPCA Clean Water Loan from 2014. The option to prepay (call date) the 2007A bonds started in 2017. While the call date for the 2013A is approaching in 2022, the repayment amount of over $2,000,000 may make it infeasible, at this point, to repay in full. The 2018A bonds have a balance of over $8,000,000 and its call date is in 2027. The MPCA loan only has a $50,000/year payment plan and will be fully repaid in 2023. Given the current estimated 2021 year-end Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Fund Balance of over $5,000,000, it is recommended that the District fully prepay the 2007A bonds that is approximately $615,000. This prepayment would save the District approximately $76,000 over the final six years of the debt schedule. Funds would come from the CIP Fund Balance. The actual payment would be made in October of this year. By retiring this debt early, the District will be able to reduce its debt service each year by approximately $120,000 and apply that savings to the 2013A payments.

In addition to prepaying the 2007A bonds, the Finance Committee along with our Financial Planner, Nick Anhut from Ehlers, reviewed the feasibility of refunding (refinancing) the 2013A bonds. At current interest rates, Mr. Anhut estimates that by refunding the 2013A bonds, the District could realize savings of approximately $118,000 over the next 12 years of the debt schedule. Administrator Doneux recommend that the District use the approximately $120,000 of freed levy capacity, from prepaying the 2007A debt, and apply it to accelerate repayment on the refunded (refinanced) 2013A bonds. Doing this, the District would be able to shorten the repayment to 8 years and increase net interest cost savings to $208,500. The debt still retires 4 years early without incurring any new levy burden. Mr. Nick Anhut from Ehlers was in attendance and provided a review of the pay back process of bonds. President Collins inquired about the interest rate. Mr. Anhut replied that by refinancing the 2013A, he anticipates a lower interest rate of about 1%. Mr. Anhut added that a review of the 2018A debt can be done in the future for additional savings. President Collins inquired about the Districts credit rating. Mr. Anhut replied that the District already has a very high desirable rating and paying off the 2007A Bond only adds to the credibility of the District. Administrator Doneux asked for any questions. Manager Murphy inquired about the Districts rating and its ability to pay debt. Mr. Anhut replied that the District has a large tax base and ability to levy. Mr. Anhut added that the fund balance is a factor in the credit rating. B)

Preliminary 2022 Budget and Levy

Administrator Doneux provided a review of the 2022 Budget and Levy and recommended that the Board restore the 2022 debt service back to $1,056,439. In previous budgets, it was reduced by approximately $120,000 in anticipation of a lower debt service. Administrator Doneux also recommended the additional $121,985 be applied towards the 2013A bonds to accelerate repayment to eight years. Staff is recommending the preliminary budget of $825,550 for Administration, $3,769,328 for Programs, $1,564,882 for Projects for a total Operations Budget of $6,159,760 and $4,532,822 for Capital Improvement Projects. This results in a total Preliminary 2022 Budget of $10,692,582. This is an increase of $1,288,518 from the adopted budget for 2021. The proposed 2022 tax levy is $8,774,361. This includes $7,717,922 for the operations and capital levy and $1,056,439 for debt. This levy is 6% greater than 2021. Manager Sullivan Janzen recommended a correction in the date of the memo. C)

2021 Employee Handbook

Administrator Doneux provided a presentation reviewing the process of updating the 2021 Employee Handbook. Handbooks for other watershed districts were reviewed to compare benefits. Administrator Doneux provided details about the major changes outlined in the handbook including: 1. Increase Paid Time Off for all staff and provide 16 hours of PTO to new staff upon hiring. 2. Provide 4 consecutive weeks of Paid Family Medical Leave 3. Provide 200 hours of Work Off Site time each year (post COVID-19 restrictions). 4. The Cell Phone Allowance (increased to $50/month) and Apparel Allowance (increased to $100/year) were increased to reflect present day costs.

Manager Murphy inquired about PTO balance and how it is distributed at the time an employee would leave the District. Administrator Doneux replied that PTO is paid out in one lump sum, and it is not considered a retirement program. Manager Sullivan Janzen asked for clarification of the apparel allowance. Administrator Doneux replied that the cell phone allowance is $50 a month and the apparel allowance increased from $50 a year to $100 a year. Administrator Doneux added that appendices will be updated every year with benefits for open enrollment. Manager Murphy inquired about other Districts recognizing the Work Off Site policy. Administrator Doneux replied that other districts that were reviewed did not have a Work Off Site policy in place. President Collins added that the City of St. Paul has a Work Off Site policy. Mr. Fossum added that Ramsey County, Hennepin County, St. Paul, and Minneapolis have a policy for paid family medical leave of four weeks. Administrator Doneux thanked Mr. Fossum and Ms. Bromelkamp for all their hard work on the handbook. President Collins added that the handbook is very well done. D)

2021 MAWD Resolutions

Administrator Doneux provided a review on three possible resolutions drafted for the 2021 MAWD Resolutions. 1. Amend Session law Section 6, (a) (2) to state “seven-county metropolitan groundwater or watershed management plans that have a board-approved and local-government-adopted plan as authorized in Minnesota Statutes, section 103B.” 2. Redirect Clean Water Funds from SWCD Local Capacity Services to BWSR Accelerated Implementation of Watershed Based Implementation Funding. Current Session Law Section 6, (q) provides “$12,000,000 the first year and $12,000,000 the second year are for payments to soil and water conservation districts for the purposes of Minnesota Statutes, sections 103C.321 and 103C.331. From this appropriation, each soil and water conservation district shall receive an increase in its base funding of $100,000 per year.” The title of this resolution was changed to be more specific on how the funds should be reallocated to BWSR Accelerated Implementation of Watershed Based Implementation Funding rather than solely on opposing the capacity funding. President Collins added that Clean Water Funds were not supposed to fund operating expenses. Administrator Doneux added that this money was not intended for local government funding. 3. Require State Agencies to seek review and comment from affected local units of government on new or amended water management policies prior to adoption. President Collins stated that language should consider final approval by affected local government units. Administrator Doneux added that an approval period could help clear up this problem. Administrator Doneux added that he expects that this will be supported by other watershed districts. These resolutions are not just for CRWD, but have metro and statewide impact. President Collins thanked Administrator Doneux. No Action was taken, the workshop was for information and discussion only. III.

Action Items A)

AR: Approve Minutes of the August 18, 2021, Regular Meeting (Sylvander)

Manager Sullivan Janzen suggested the Board delay approving the minutes until a workshop could be held to discuss the goal, purpose, and level of detail the Board desires in meeting minutes. Manager Collins stated the Board could approve the minutes now as is or hold them over until after a workshop. Manager Sullivan Janzen asked if previously approved minutes could be amended later after a future workshop. Manager Collins stated he believed the Board could amend minutes at a later date. The Board discussed the need for the workshop and to clarify what should be included in the minutes. Administrator Doneux noted that due to the fact the minutes are the official record for permits, approval of agreements and other important actions, approval of the minutes as quickly as possible following a meeting is important. He also noted that the Board may provide greater direction to staff on preparing minutes, however it is still somewhat of a judgement call on staff’s part on what is a significant comment. Manager Sullivan Janzen noted that in her role as Board Secretary to provide and recommend minutes for approval. She noted that there have been statements that, in her view, were important but were missing and in other cases the context to a statement was not included. She used an example from the August 18th meeting as an example. Manager Sanders said he supported the idea of a workshop and noted that he also does not know what to expect from the meeting minutes. He also noted that the Board has always been open and flexible to adding or amending the minutes at the meeting. Manager Sanders stated he would be comfortable approving the minutes as is but would like a workshop. Manager Sullivan Janzen noted that part of the issue may be the short turnaround time to get draft minutes ready for the next Board meeting. Manager Collins stated that if he notes an error or omission, he provides staff with his notes for an amendment to the minutes. Manager Murphy said he also agreed a workshop to provide greater clarity would be good. He also stated that he also is generally comfortable with the level of detail in the minutes and can appreciate the limits on staff time to turnaround the minutes and noted staff still have to use some judgement on what to include in the draft minutes for the packet. Manager Collins called the question to see if the Board was comfortable approving the August 18, 2021, Board Meeting minutes. Manager Sullivan Janzen stated she was if there was some additional statements clarifying and adding context to the discussion about handouts at CRWD events or when we are tabling at other events. Motion 21-168: Approve the Amended Minutes of August 18, 2021, Regular Meeting.

Approve Plans and Authorize Bidding for TBI St. 28+65 to 52+80 Repair Project (Eleria)

Ms. Eleria reviewed that in June 2020, CRWD’s Board of Managers approved an engineering work order for the repair designs of in approximately 2,000 feet of the Trout Brook Storm Sewer Interceptor near Phalen Boulevard and I-35E in Saint Paul. The deficiencies in this section of TBI include deteriorating concrete, exposed reinforcement, holes, cracks and fractures, and sediment build up in the tunnel. Barr Engineering has completed the design of repairs for TBI Station 28+65 to 52+80. Primary repairs involve filling cracks with grout, sealing exposed reinforcement, repairing eroded concrete tunnel and invert, and repairing access hatches. In addition, there is a bid alternate for placing soil cover over a 40foot section of tunnel that is exposed at the surface. This section is located on BNSF Railroad property, and we have applied for a BNSF temporary occupancy permit. Based on conversation with local BNSF staff, we anticipate no issues obtaining the permit by the time of construction, however, as a precaution, this repair item is a bid alternate. The engineer’s opinion of probable construction cost is $1.02 million with range from $914,000 to $1.17 million. The 2021 engineering and construction budget is $950,000 (Fund #415-20820) and the proposed 2022 budget is $640,000. CRWD staff anticipates bid letting in early September and holding a three-week bidding period. Construction of the repairs may commence in mid-fall 2021 and extend through early winter 2022. Ms. Eleria asked for any questions. Manager Sanders asked if CRWD ensures that people cannot access or get into the Trout Brook tunnel, noting he knew one of the individuals that recently died in a St. Paul storm sewer. Ms. Eleria noted that the District ensures that access points are secured and locked. Manager Sanders asked for clarification on CRWD’s responsibility for the outlet. Ms. Eleria replied that the last ½ mile is owned by the City of St. Paul. Ms. Eleria added that inlets are inspected on a regular basis. Motion 21-174: Approve plans and authorize bidding for the TBI Repair Project – Station 28+65 to 52+80. Murphy/Sanders Unanimously Approved G)

Authorize Field Guide for Working with Artists (Schwantes)

Ms. Schwantes provided a review of the field guide of working with Artists. In 2010, the Board of Managers approved engaging the services of Public Art Saint Paul and Christine Bauemler as CRWD Watershed Artist in Residence. As part of this initiative, a report was drafted called The Watershed Language of Art to help provide direction on how art can enhance the District’s mission.

Art and artistic consultation have since been integrated into many District projects and programs including the Green Line green infrastructure practices, Midway Peace Park and many elements in our new office as well as adding a Public Art Program to our annual budget. In July 2020, former Board Manager Seitu Jones, CRWD Watershed Artist in Residence, Christine Baeumler, Mark Doneux, Anna Eleria, Jessica Bromelkamp, Lindsay Schwantes from staff, and CAC member Pat Cavanaugh participated in a Ripple Mapping Exercise evaluation of CRWD’s Public Art Program with the goal of providing direction on how best art can further our mission. Artist in Residence, Christine Baeumler, used the exercise to draft a set of recommendations and guidance for enhancing the District’s Public Art Program and improving the integration of art into other projects and programs and these Public Art Program Guiding Principles were approved by the Board in September 2020. These Guiding Principles led to the development of a Field Guide for Working with Artists. This document was drafted by CRWD Artist in Residence with input from staff and members of the Communications and Community Committee of the Board with the goal of providing CRWD staff, Board and CAC as well as partners, a framework for how art and artists can be integrated into our projects and programs to further our mission. This includes programs like the Artist in Residence model as well as other ways of working with artists for CRWD to consider through the Public Art Program. Following a meeting with Managers Murphy and Sullivan Janzen in March 2021, we continued to finalize the text and pursue artistic elements as part of the final field guide. A digital copy of the final draft of Capitol Region Watershed District’s Field Guide for Working with Artists is attached and two hard copies of this final draft will be available at the September 1 Board meeting to pass around. Staff will present this document at the meeting as well as any final edits that have been suggested by staff, CRWD’s Artist in Residence and the Communications and Community Committee members from the Board. President Collins reference page 15 regarding the safety training. Administrator Doneux suggested some revised wording. Ms. Schwantes noted the change and has been made aware of edits noted from Manager Murphy. Manager Sullivan Janzen provided some clarification of the title Artist in Residence. Ms. Schwantes noted the term “residence” may cause some confusion as used in the artist community. Motion 21-175: Approve CRWD Field Guide for Working with Artists. Murphy/Sanders Unanimously Approved H)

Authorize Minnesota Water Stewards (Schwantes)

Ms. Schwantes provided a review of the Minnesota Water Stewards program. The program trains, certifies, and supports community leaders to install pollution prevention projects that educate community members and reduce polluted runoff. CRWD recruited its first class of Stewards in 2016 and currently has six cohorts and 18 active stewards. Freshwater updated the program name to Minnesota Water Stewards and transitioned to an online training curriculum in 2021 in response to feedback from partner organizations as well as challenges with in-person gatherings due to COVID-19. Freshwater was also able to reduce the

sponsorship fee per steward from $2,500 to $1,500 with these changes. The training is now held fully online with opportunities for scheduled in-person or virtual check-ins and kick-off and closing gatherings hosted by Freshwater with training taking place January – May. Motion 21-176: Authorize the Administrator to enter into an Agreement with Freshwater to host up to six Minnesota Water Stewards for the 2022 program year at a cost of $1,500 per steward with a total not to exceed $9,000. Murphy/Sanders Unanimously Approved VI.

September 15, 2021 Board Meeting V. C. Action Items— Approve Grant Agreement with the MPCA for the Implementation of the Como Lake Management Plan and Nine Key Elements Plan Phase 1 Project (Belden)

DATE: TO: FROM: RE:

September 9, 2021 CRWD Board of Managers Britta Belden, Water Resource Project Manager Approve Grant Agreement with the MPCA for the Implementation of the Como Lake Management Plan and Nine Key Elements Plan Phase 1 Project

Background In 2019, CRWD was selected by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) to receive a 319 Small Watersheds Focus grant for Como Lake. The grant program is funded under the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) federal Clean Water Act Section 319 and administered by the MPCA to provide funding to states to address nonpoint source water pollution in watersheds. The grant provides funding for clean water projects for a four-year period (2022-2025) for a total of $590,760, with 60% provided by the grant ($354,456) and a 40% match required from CRWD ($236,304). Since being awarded the grant, CRWD staff have worked with the MPCA to develop a Nine Key Element (NKE) Plan that was approved by the EPA in February 2021. Following approval of the NKE Plan, CRWD staff developed a project workplan and budget for “Implementation of the Como Lake Management Plan and Nine Key Element Plan Phase 1” which was approved by the EPA in September 2021. The project workplan and budget (see attached) includes funding for four major project areas from the CRWD’s Como Lake Management Plan—1) Como Lake monitoring and data collection, 2) Como Pavilion parking lot reconstruction projects, 3) Shoreline stabilization and restoration projects, and 4) Como Lake educational signage and kiosk development and installation. Issues With the approval of the project workplan and budget, CRWD has been authorized by the EPA to move forward with executing a grant agreement with the MPCA for the “Implementation of the Como Lake Management Plan and Nine Key Elements Plan Phase 1 Project”. Requested Action Approve the Implementation of the Como Lake Management Plan and Nine Key Elements Plan Phase 1 Project Grant Agreement and authorize the Board President and Administrator to execute the agreement, subject to the review and approval of the Ramsey County Attorney. enc: Implementation of the Como Lake Management Plan and Nine Key Elements Plan Phase 1 Project Grant Agreement, Workplan and Budget W:\02 Budget and Finance\Grants\2020\MPCA 319 Small Watershed Focus\Board\Brd Memo_Implementation of the Como Lake Management Plan and Nine Key Elements Plan Phase 1 Project Grant Agreement_9-9-21.docx

2. Statement of Problems, Opportunities, and Existing Conditions Como Lake, a 70.5 acre shallow urban lake located in St. Paul’s 348 acre Como Regional Park, is one of the most popular lakes in the region. Unfortunately, Como Lake has experienced poor water quality for decades due to excessive phosphorus and associated algal blooms. Algal growth has led to odor problems, reduced oxygen conditions in the lake, and winter fish kills. Phosphorus is the primary driver of water quality problems in Como Lake. Como Lake has consistently exceeded the Minnesota state shallow lake water quality standard in this region for phosphorus (60 µg/L). The long-term mean (1984-2019) total phosphorus (TP) concentration in Como Lake is 173 µg/L, which is three times the state standard. Previous studies and analyses have determined that a 60% reduction in watershed TP loads, and a 95% reduction in internal TP loads will be required to meet the state water quality standard (EOR, 2010; LimnoTech, 2017; CRWD, 2019). The Como Lake watershed (1,711 acres) includes portions of three cities (St. Paul, Roseville, and Falcon Heights) and has 13 major subwatersheds that generate runoff to an extensive network of storm sewer pipes that discharge directly to Como Lake through twentytwo storm sewer outlets. The characteristics of the watershed have significant influence on the amount of runoff and what pollutants are being delivered to the lake. The watershed contributes a significant portion of TP to Como Lake through stormwater runoff in addition to other pollutants of concern including chloride, sediment, and trash, making the watershed a pollutant source. In addition, internal phosphorus loading has become a significant contributor to poor water quality in Como Lake. Phosphorus has built up in the lake bottom over time by chemically binding to sediment particles. During low-oxygen conditions, phosphorus is able to break its bond with sediment particles and release into the water for algae to consume. This process of phosphorus release from the bottom www.pca.state.mn.us • e-admin9-38 • 3/11/16

sediments is the primary mechanism of internal loading in Como Lake. Capitol Region Watershed District (CRWD) is committed to improving water quality in Como Lake. In fact, CRWD was formed in 1998 after a group of community members who were concerned for Como Lake’s health submitted a petition to the State to start a watershed district. In 2002, CRWD assisted in the development of the Como Lake Strategic Management Plan which sought to reduce phosphorus in Como Lake through watershed management strategies. Through this plan, the implementation of several structural watershed best management practice (BMP) projects reduced external phosphorus loading to the lake by approximately 20% since 2002. Despite these efforts, water quality in Como Lake remains poor. In 2019, CRWD developed a revised Como Lake Management Plan (CLMP) with the goal of utilizing a holistic and adaptive management approach for achieving Como Lake water quality goals. The CLMP identifies in-lake and watershed management strategies that are based on the latest science, technology, and community input to serve as a framework for meeting water quality goals. The life of the plan is defined as 20 years (2019-2039) to allow enough time for Como Lake to respond to in-lake and watershed management actions and achieve ecological balance. Como Lake has been degraded for several decades and it will take significant effort and time to improve water quality. The CLMP defines five overarching goals with measurable objectives, each of which developed using input from both the community and agency staff. Management goals set a vision for Como Lake, and associated objectives provide a mechanism to measure progress towards meeting those goals. The five overarching management goals for Como Lake and its watershed include: •

Goal 1: Como Lake will be managed as an ecologically healthy, shallow lake.

•

Goal 2: Maintain healthy shoreline areas that can support a variety of wildlife and contribute to the ecological health of Como Lake.

•

Goal 3: Maintain a variety of year-round recreational opportunities that are appropriate for a shallow urban lake.

•

Goal 4: Achieve strong sustained community engagement and stewardship to improve and protect Como Lake.

•

Goal 5: Utilize the best science, partnerships, and resources to ensure successful implementation of the CLMP over the life of the plan (20 years).

Recommended management actions are actual projects, programs, events, or organized efforts that will work toward achieving each CLMP goal and measurable objective. The CLMP proposes a combination of in-lake, watershed, and community-based management actions to be carried out over the life of the plan to achieve each goal. Lake management actions will seek to control internal phosphorus loads and enhance ecological integrity. Watershed management actions will include structural and non-structural BMPs that reduce phosphorus loads from stormwater runoff. Community-based management actions will work to help build stewardship and pride in Como Lake. The recommended CLMP management actions will be implemented over the life of the plan using the adaptive management framework. The funding received through the MPCA 319 Small Watersheds Focus grant will greatly assist in the implementation of a number of recommended actions identified in the CLMP (adopted May 2019) and the Environmental Protection Agency Nine Key Element (NKE) Plan (approved April 2021). This work plan details which recommended actions will be carried out between 2022-2025 and how the 319 funding will be applied to them as well as a 40% match from CRWD.

3. Goal, Objectives, Tasks and Subtasks Goal: Implement the recommended actions in the CLMP and NKE plan to meet goals for phosphorus reduction, water quality improvement, ecosystem health, shoreline function, recreational opportunities, and community engagement. Objective 1: Como Lake will be managed as an ecologically healthy shallow lake. An ecologically healthy shallow lake is one where phosphorus levels are maintained at sufficiently low levels (60 µg/L or lower) to minimize algae nuisances, the rooted aquatic plant community is dominated by a diverse assemblage of native species, and a balanced aquatic food web is maintained. Task 1A: Meet and maintain in-lake total phosphorus concentrations at <60 ug/L (summertime surface water average) by reducing internal phosphorus loads by 95% and watershed phosphorus loads by 60%. Phosphorus is the primary driver of water quality in Como Lake. A total maximum daily load (TMDL) has indicated that internal phosphorus loads need to be reduced by 95% and external phosphorus loads reduced by 60% to meet State shallow lake water quality goals.

Como Lake and measuring the effectiveness of the management plan actions. Lake monitoring and data collection will include bi-monthly sampling of Como Lake (April-Nov) by Ramsey County Public Works (RCPW) for a suite of water quality parameters (nutrients, solids, metals, bacteria, zooplankton, and phytoplankton). CRWD will operate three multi-parameter sondes in Como Lake to continuously measure temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and conductivity to test the effectiveness of implemented BMPs. For all in-lake monitoring activities, three stations (Sta. 102, Sta. 201, Sta. 202) have been established in Como Lake (Figure 1). Data has been collected in Como Lake since 1984 by Ramsey County. CRWD also collects data at three major outfalls to Como Lake during storm events. The data is used to calibrate the watershed model and to determine BMP effectiveness over time. Subtask 1A-1 Timeline: Annually through the length of the agreement, April-November Subtask 1A-1 Cost: Grant: $79,200, Match: $52,800, Total: $132,000 Subtask 1A-1 Deliverables: Annual water quality data, analysis, and data report Subtask 1A-1 Measurable Outcomes: Collection and analysis of up to: 52 TP, SRP, Turbidity lake samples/year, 38 Cl- lake samples/year, 40 TKN, NH3, NO3, NO2 lake samples/year, 32 Chl-a lake samples/year, 11 phytoplankton/zooplankton samples/year, six TSS/VSS lake samples/year; approximately 72,000 continuous hypolimnetic sonde data points per year (temp, DO, pH, Sp.

Subtask 1A-2: Como Pavilion Parking Lot BMPs (South Lot) The parking lot on the south side of the Como Lake Pavilion is being repaved in Fall 2021 by the City of Saint Paul which presents a unique opportunity to incorporate runoff management practices as part of the overall project. The parking lot being repaved is outside of the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) and presently drains from the parking lot surfaces directly to Como Lake, which is adjacent to the lot. CRWD proposes the construction of a number of best management practices (BMPs) to capture the pollutant-laden runoff being generated from the parking lot, including a rain garden (approximately 760 sq. ft.), a rock channel (approximately 40 ft), and two educational signs to explain flow networks, urban watershed processes, and the impact of runoff on lake water quality. These practices will help reduce external phosphorus loading to Como Lake and work toward external load reduction goals from the TMDL. Subtask 1A-2 Timeline: October, 2021-December 31, 2021 Subtask 1A-2 Cost: Grant: $102,360, Match: $88,240, Total: $190,600 Subtask 1A-2 Deliverables: Rain garden, rock channel, educational signage Subtask 1A-2 Measurable Outcomes: approximately 760 sq. ft. rain garden, approximately 40 ft. rock channel, two educational signs Subtask 1A-2 Estimated reductions: five lbs of phosphorus removed by rain garden Subtask 1A-3: Como Pavilion Parking Lot BMPs (North Lot) The parking lot on the north side of the Como Lake Pavilion is being repaved in 2023 by the City of Saint Paul. CRWD would like to incorporate runoff management practices into the parking lot design, including a rain garden (approximately 320 sq. ft.) and one educational sign. This parking lot is outside of the MS4 with all runoff draining directly to Como Lake which is adjacent to the lot. These practices will help reduce phosphorus loading to Como Lake and work toward external load reduction goals from the TMDL. Subtask 1A-3 Timeline: October, 2023-December 31, 2023 Subtask 1A-3 Cost: Grant: $64,800, Match: $43,200, Total: $108,000 Subtask 1A-3 Deliverables: Rain garden, educational signage Subtask 1A-3 Measurable Outcomes: approximately 320 sq. ft. rain garden, one educational sign Subtask 1A-3 Estimated reductions: Two lbs of phosphorus removed by rain garden Objective 2: Maintain healthy shoreline areas that can support a variety of wildlife and contribute to the ecological health of Como Lake. Como Lake’s entire shoreline was restored in the early 2000s by converting turf grass to a mix of native grasses, forbs, and trees. It plays a critical role in maintaining water quality (i.e. runoff capture, erosion control, water temperature regulation, geese control), providing wildlife habitat (i.e. shore nesting areas, pollinator plants), and improving the overall aesthetic of the lake to visitors. Upkeep of the shoreline to maximize its numerous functions and benefits is both time consuming and costly. In 2020, a shoreline inventory was completed to document existing conditions, plant community assemblages, invasive species, wildlife habitat areas, erosive banks, and areas for expansion. In summer 2021, this information is being utilized to inform the development of the Como Lake Shoreline Management Plan which will guide the long-term management (both maintenance and site-specific projects) of the entire shoreline. Task 2A: Enhance areas of native vegetation along the shoreline to capture surface runoff, minimize shoreline erosion, and promote wildlife habitat. Dense and diverse native perennial vegetation in the shoreline zone is necessary for capturing surface runoff, promoting bank stabilization, and providing wildlife habitat. Currently, Como Lake’s shoreline varies in its condition and integrity. Subtask 2A-1: Shoreline Stabilization and Improvement Projects The Como Lake Shoreline Management Plan will provide a framework for enhancement practices and site-specific projects to support Como Lake’s shoreline to maximize its many functions and benefits including: restoring compromised areas of shoreline vegetation, erosion control/bank stabilization projects, invasive species removal, enhancing vegetation assemblages to capture surface runoff, and wildlife habitat improvements.

Subtask 2A-1 Deliverables: Annual shoreline projects; annual progress report summary Subtask 2A-1 Measurable Outcomes: Stabilization of up to 845 feet of shoreline (10% of shoreline), up to 17,000 sq. ft. of vegetation enhanced. Objective 3: Achieve strong sustained community engagement and stewardship to improve and protect Como Lake. Public support through sustained community engagement and stewardship is critical for the improvement and protection of Como Lake. Having committed community groups and members that can help further the initiatives of the CLMP and support the work of CRWD and its partners is essential for success. Task 3A: Increase community knowledge and understanding of Como Lake. Information, education, and understanding of Como Lake, its issues, and the work to improve it help form the foundation that supports stewardship.

CURRENT STORMWATER RESEARCH PROJECTS

Can spent lime from water treatment facilities be used to control phosphorus release from urban stormwater ponds?

How can soil mixes in biofiltration practices impact phosphorus capture and release and plant growth?

How prevalent are pathogens, viruses and bacteria in stormwater reuse systems?

Will city-specific climate change reports provide more precise information for future stormwater infrastructure planning and management?

Are underground sand filters performing as designed and what type of future maintenance is needed?

Will the addition of biochar help filter practices remove bacteria and dissolved contaminants?

How can we improve monitoring of the first flush and concentrations of pollutants?

At what level are gross organic solids contributing to stormwater pollutant loading?

Can we combine stormwater monitoring data from various cities, watersheds and agencies to more specifically characterize urban runoff quantity and quality?

Recent Achievements

COMPLETED RESEARCH PROJECTS

Final reports and additional project information can be found on our website.

Example discoveries... • Detecting phosphorus release from urban stormwater ponds Discovered that many urban stormwater ponds are stratified, with low dissolved oxygen that may result in phosphorus release rather than phosphorus capture. The project also revealed that duckweed and wind sheltering by trees and vegetation are important pond characteristics that need to be considered for a complete picture of what is happening with phosphorus in stormwater ponds. • Developing a street sweeping credit for stormwater phosphorus source reduction Discovered that higher tree canopies can be an indicator of mass and nutrient pollution loads on streets. The research was used by the team and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to develop a street sweeping credit calculator cities and other MS4s can use to determine phosphorus removal for their unique street sweeping practices. • Pathogens and antibiotic resistant genes in urban stormwater reuse systems Discovered that some antibiotic resistant genes, virus, E.coli and other bacteria are making their way into stormwater reuse systems. Levels of detection occurred both before and after treatment. No seasonal dynamics were detected. More importantly this study revealed we need more data. Therefore phase II of this project is currently underway. • Inspiring Community Action for Stormwater Management Discovered Minnesota water scientists, policymakers and managers can accelerate progress towards clean water by listening to new and diverse audiences and changing the way we discuss water with citizens.

The value for urban stormwater research discoveries Discoveries from research help Minnesota professionals, practitioners and policymakers: □ Evaluate and design more effective stormwater practices □ Manage runoff to prevent or reduce impacts to lakes, rivers, streams and groundwater □ Maintain investments in stormwater infrastructure for continued operation wrc.umn.edu/projects/stormwater
