It should include inspecting in winter months to ensure plowed snow is not being stored on filtration practices. b. Extend riprap at FES and Rain Guardian outlets of Filtration Basin B to the toe of the slope to prevent erosion. c. Clarify the EOF for Filtration Basin A. Currently, the elevation of the west basin berm is not labeled such that the noted EOF (859.5) may not be used. CRWD suggests lowering the EOF elevation of Filtration Basin A to 859.00 and provide three spot elevations of 859.50’ between the property limit and west side of Filtration Basin A. d. Include CBMH 105 in the storm sewer structure schedule table at the top of Sheet C6.01. The Neenah Foundry casting number is unclear for that catch basin. 6. Revise HydroCAD model to address the following: a. Revise existing HydroCAD model to accurately account for flow from the north property. i. Flows from subcatchments EX and E1 shall be routed to a pond node to represent the low spot in the pavement area of the existing site. ii. The primary outlet from the pond shall be the catch basin grate routed to the pipe flowing to the west, which ultimately connects to the total west flow link. iii. The secondary outlet shall be the EOF to the east. b. Revise proposed HydroCAD model to accurately account for flow from the north property. i. Flows from subcatchments PX and P1 shall be routed to a pond node to represent the low spot in the northern parking lot. ii. The primary outlet from the pond shall be the pipe flowing to the west; the catch basin grate device(s) shall be routed to the primary outlet pipe. iii. A secondary outlet shall be used for the EOF to the east at 856.00’. c. Ensure rate control is provided for discharge to the west and to the east after these revisions are made.

HISTORY & CONSIDERATIONS: The project will be constructed in two phases. The City plans to combine both phases of the project for stormwater management due to constraint spaces on Phase 1 and more favorable opportunities on Phase 2. The City proposes to maximize stormwater management on Phase 1, and then defer the remaining balance below the Phase 1 cost cap to Phase 2 of the project. The City plans to meet or exceed the total project cost cap upon completion of Phase 2. Tentative information for phase 2 is included in this discussion though additional permitting will be needed once detailed Phase 2 information is prepared. 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 not 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 for Phase 1 is 413,820 ft2 (9.5 acres). The amount of proposed impervious for Phase 2 is 413,820 ft2 (9.5 acres). The total amount of proposed impervious for both Phases 1 and 2 is 827,640 ft2 (19.0 acres). b. Phase 1 volume retention required: 413,820 ft2 x 1.1 inches x 1 ft/12 inches = 37,934 ft3 Table 1.

It is not known if the Phase 1 or Phase 2 infiltration volume and facility sizes have been calculated using the appropriate hydrologic soil group classification and design infiltration rate. A note was added to Sheet 20 in the plans requiring the excavation of two test pits per trench during construction. The pits will be at least five feet below the proposed bottom of the trenches and the Project Engineer will verify the soils with the design before the trenches are installed. 6. It is not known if the Phase 1 or Phase 2 infiltration trenches are capable of infiltrating the required volume within 48 hours. A note was added to Sheet 20 in the plans requiring the excavation of two test pits per trench during construction. The pits will be at least five feet below the proposed bottom of the trenches and the Project Engineer will verify the soils with the design before the trenches are installed. 7. Phase 1 stormwater runoff is pretreated to remove solids before discharging to infiltration areas. It is not known if Phase 2 stormwater runoff is pretreated to remove solids before discharging to infiltration areas. 8. It is not known if groundwater mounding is anticipated to affect adjacent properties and buildings for Phases 1 or 2 because insufficient soils borings. 9. Alternative compliance has been requested due to cost cap of a linear project. a. The applicant partially complied with the volume retention standard. b. The applicant did not partially comply with the volume retention standard at an offsite location or through the use of qualified banking credits. c. The applicant has not submitted money to be contributed to the Stormwater Impact Fund. d. The project is linear, but the cost cap has not been reached for Phase 1 (9.5 ac * $75,000/ac = $712,500). The anticipated cost of the Phase 1 proposed infiltration trenches is $659,562.50. The combined Phase 1 and 2 projects are anticipated to have 19.0 acres of new/reconstructed impervious area, which would have a cost cap of $1,425,000. The anticipated combined cost of Phase 1 and Phase 2 trenches is $1,682,081.25, but detailed cost estimates have not been submitted for Phase 2.

Sanders/Texer Unanimously approved D) AR: Adopt Updated Safety Program (Eleria) Administrator Doneux reviewed in place of Ms. Eleria. CRWD has a comprehensive safety program to maintain safe conditions in the workplace, minimize the frequency and severity of hazards and prevent onthe-job accidents and injuries. Every five years, CRWD conducts an audit of its safety program to evaluate the written and observed safety practices and procedures and determine updates and changes to the program to maintain compliance with federal and state OSHA standards and adoption of best practices. CRWD hired ATC Group Services, a local environmental health and safety company, to conduct an audit of CRWDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safety measures, practices and procedures in the new office and in the field. In addition, ATC reviewed the safety program manual which was last updated in 2014. ATC made a handful of recommendations for our office, shop and garage spaces, field operations, and safety program manual. CRWD staff have addressed ATC recommendations in the workplace and the safety program manual. Manager Texer asked about the eye washing stations. Administrator Doneux replied that an additional eye washing station is being added. Manager Sanders asked about training.

Administrator Doneux replied that training is provided for new staff and refresher training is provided for current staff. President Collins requested an update in six months. Motion 20-046: Adopt the updated CRWD Safety Program Texer/Jones Unanimously approved E) AR: Approve 2020 BMP Maintenance Services Agreement (Eleria) Administrator Doneux reviewed that for over ten years, CRWD staff have been coordinating the inspection and maintenance of District-owned best management practices (BMPs) by landscape contractors. Projects include the Arlington-Pascal rain gardens, Green Line raingardens and stormwater planters, and Highland Ravine stabilization practices. In the past, one contractor has been responsible for the Arlington-Pascal and Green Line BMPs and another contractor has been responsible for the Highland Ravine practices. For 2020, CRWD staff seek to consolidate maintenance activities of the three projects with one contractor and have distributed a request for quotes to landscaping companies including disadvantaged business enterprises (DBEs). Eight contractors, four of them DBEs, submitted quotes for routine maintenance work, such as trash, sediment and weed removal, and unit cost estimates for non-routine activities, such as plant replacement, watering, and tree removal. Motion 20-047: Approve Inhabit Landscape as the contractor for 2020 BMP maintenance services and authorize the Administrator to execute an agreement with Inhabit Landscapes for an amount up to $36,000 subject to review and approval by the Ramsey County Attorney. Sanders/Texer Unanimously approved F) AR: Adopt Como Lake Aquatic Vegetation Management Plan (Belden) Administrator Doneux reviewed The Como Lake Management Plan (CLMP) was adopted by the Board of Managers on May 15, 2019. 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, several actions for aquatic vegetation management (Actions L5-L7) and fisheries management (Actions L8-L9) were recommended to work toward an ecologically healthy Como Lake (Goal 1). Management of the aquatic plants in Como Lake is recommended because of the dominance of the invasive curly-leaf pondweed, which has caused significant imbalance in the native plant community. Curly-leaf pondweed has choked out the native plants and is also a significant driver of internal phosphorus loading because of its unique life cycle. Wenck was hired in September 2019 to develop a long-term aquatic plant management plan for Como Lake as well as specifications for a curly-leaf pondweed herbicide treatment plan. Both plans are intended

to work together to support the restoration of Como Lake’s native aquatic plant community over the longterm. Wenck developed a draft Como Lake Long-term Vegetation Management Plan. The goal of the plan is to establish an adaptive management approach for restoring and enhancing the aquatic vegetation community in Como Lake. The plan specifies a first 5-years implementation cycle for managing the plant community in Como Lake with emphasis on native plant succession following curly-leaf pondweed control. The plan then provides appropriate tools to manage the plant community in the long-term depending on multiple outcomes from the first 5-years of management. Motion 20-048: Adopt the Como Lake Long-term Aquatic Vegetation Management Plan. Sanders/Texer Unanimously approved G) AR: Authorize Como Lake Alum Treatment Project (Belden) Administrator Doneux reviewed the Como Lake Management Plan (CLMP) was adopted by the Board of Managers on May 15, 2019. 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 lake. 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. Staff have worked with LimnoTech to develop an alum dosing plan, bidding documents and specifications for Como Lake. The project went out to bid on February 14, 2020. Bids for the Como Lake Alum Treatment were opened on March 6, 2020. One bid was received from HAB Aquatic Solutions. LimnoTech has determined that HAB Aquatic Solutions is the lowest, responsible, qualified bidder per the bidding documents for the project. Motion 20-049: Authorize Como Lake Alum Treatment project and award the base bid to HAB Aquatic Solutions for an amount not to exceed $152,263.76. Jones/Texer Unanimously approved H) AR: Approve BMP Database Service Agreement (Zwonitzer) Administrator Doneux reviewed that for the past six years CRWD has been contracting with Houston Engineering, Inc. (HEI) to host and implement a customized web-based BMP database to track projects in its permit, grant, and capital improvement programs. The database allows access to project information

from anywhere that has an internet connection. It is used to track project progress and maintenance activities, generate maps, and summarize CRWD activities and associated environmental benefits. To streamline administration and services for this ongoing technology, staff recommend approving a consultant master services agreement with HEI. This agreement would cover annual database webhosting, maintenance, enhancements, GIS support, and programming updates to modernize security and data management as needed.

CRWD’s office was closed to the public starting on Tuesday, March 17, 2020. Staff have been working remotely, except for essential services, and will be available via phone or email. Issues On March 25, 2020 Governor Walz issued Emergency Executive Order 20-20 - Directing Minnesotans to Stay at Home. Governor Walz has issued other Emergency Executive Orders and may issue further Emergency Executive Orders to address the COVID-19 peacetime emergency.

The Administrator and Division Managers recognize the need to streamline processing of District business in a timely manner to address decisions related to or impacted by the COVID-19 peacetime emergency. It may be necessary and is thus prudent to temporarily delegate certain actions during the COVID-19 peacetime emergency to the Administrator where practical or possible. Staff have updated the COVID19 Response Plan and drafted a list of Essential Services consistent with the Governors Emergency Executive Order 20-20. The proposed Board resolution also ratifies the determination that CRWD Board meetings will be conducted electronically and the updated, March 27, 2020 COVID-19 Response Plan.

CRWD’s office closed to the public on Tuesday, March 17, 2020 until further notice in response to the peacetime emergency declaration by Governor Tim Walz. Staff were encouraged to work from home via their computer, phone and email following the District’s Work Off Site Policy. On March 25, 2020, Governor Tim Walz issued Emergency Executive Order 20-20 Directing Minnesotans to Stay at Home. This updated Response Plan will now require staff to work from home unless performing essential services as approved by their supervisor. Capitol Region Watershed District is also following the Minnesota Department of Health’s (MDH) guidance to slow the spread of COVID-19 and reduce impacts to health and safety. Click here for the most up-to-date information from the MDH. According to the MDH, the best way to avoid the spread of COVID-19 and other viruses is to practice the following: • • •

Wash your hands regularly with soap and water. Stay home if you are sick. Cough and sneeze in your elbow, not your hands. Work Off Site due to District closing office – The District has closed the office due to the Governor’s Emergency Orders. The District will continue to pay staff and expect staff to continue to work following the WOS Policy. The District will allow flexibility in its WOS policy. Specifically, the District will waive or be flexible on the monthly hours and/or annual WOS hours. During this time, no staff are to be in the office unless deemed necessary and essential by your supervisor. If you are to be in the office for an essential function, the exterior doors must remain locked, and the sliding glass doors at the reception area closed and locked. In the event of a delivery during your time in the office, determine if it is essential (US mail, CRWD delivery) using the lobby door intercom phones. Only open the door once you have determined that it is an essential delivery. Request the delivery be placed on a table in the vestibule. Do not greet the delivery person and do not sign for deliveries. Also, please do not have any personal deliveries made to the office and discontinue any possible future CRWD deliveries until further notice.

Work Off Site for Personal Reasons - Under unique or special circumstances caused by a peace time state of emergency and/or Shelter in Place Order, staff may request the District to be flexible with the WOS policy. Those unique or special circumstances may include: a. School closures b. Day care closing c. Family illness d. Personal health e. Social Distancing

In the event of unique or special circumstances the District will be flexible in both its WOS and PTO policies. The District will not be punitive of staff needing to be out of the office in the event of unique or special circumstances. Staff will utilize WOS to the extent possible. For the purposes of recording time for payroll, staff should enter 80 hours per pay period of WOS. Actual personal time off would be considered PTO.

Meetings a. All CRWD hosted meetings will be canceled, postponed or done virtually. b. Until further notice, discontinue approving external group reservation requests for CRWD meeting space c. Cancel in-person meetings/gatherings hosted by CRWD or partners. These meetings may only be held or attended electronically until further notice. d. Staff will evaluate all existing planned meetings to determine if they should be canceled, postponed or be held electronically. e. If two or more employees were to be in the office at the same time, implement social distancing measures in the office: a. Increase physical space between workers at the worksite by taking advantage of alternative workspaces. b. Eliminate social contact in the workplace (e.g., limit in-person meetings, meeting for lunch in the pantry, etc.).

Travel/Conferences a. Work travel should be canceled until further notice. b. Essential work travel to the office or to a job site will be considered on a case-bycase basis and approved by your supervisor. No personal contacts should be made if work travel was approved. Please see Essential Services list for guidance on what may require you to leave your home for work travel. c. No future, non-essential, work travel should be scheduled at this time

Employees traveling domestically or internationally for personal reasons are required to contact their supervisor prior to returning to work.

Office Sanitation a. In the event that you do go to the office for essential work, you must sanitize all common areas after use. b. Use of District vehicles is prohibited during this time period.

This policy goes into effect on March 27, 2020 and will continue until 5:00 PM on April 10, 2020. The Administrator may, at any time, adjust or modify this policy to adapt to the unique or special circumstances of our community.
