Alex Olin TCC Materials 2025 Centre Point Blvd. Suite 300 Mendota Heights, MN 55120

Description: Sign Installation Stormwater Management: None District Rule: Eâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Wetland Management Disturbed Area: 0 Acres Impervious Area: 0 Acres PERMIT FINDINGS: Applicant proposes to install a sign at the corner of Arlington and Trout Brook Circle. The sign posts are to be installed within a wetland. Wetland Management Rule E requires all wetland losses to be replaced at a ratio of 2:1, and the de minimis is zero. The sign posts will have a combined foot print of approximately 8 square inches. The wetland habitat functions and value will not be negatively impacted by the proposed sign posts. There will be no wetland improvement by requiring 16 square inches of replacement wetland and it is not technically feasible to accurately delineate wetland boundaries at this level of detail. The applicant requests a variance from the wetland replacement requirements of Wetland Management Rule E. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve requested variance to allow installation of a new sign and 8 square inches of wetland fill

November 14, 2013 CRWD Board of Managers Bob Fossum, Water Resource Project Manager Victoria Park Hydrology Study

Background The City of St. Paul plans to develop the new Victoria Park over the next several years. Victoria Park will be on the site of the former Koch-Mobile Tank Farm. The District has previously been involved in this project by issuing stormwater, erosion control and wetland permits to allow filling of the site. At the August 3, 2011 Board Meeting, the Managers approved a planning grant for the Victoria Park Hydrology Study for an amount not to exceed $50,000. This initiative falls under the District goal of “Bringing Water Back”. The District has engaged EOR, Inc. to complete a hydrology study of the site and on November 19, 2012 draft Water Feature Concepts were reviewed with the Managers.. Issues The City of Saint Paul has created and convened a Victoria Park Advisory Group. The charge of the group is to develop a Master Plan for Victoria Park based on input from the community. The first meeting was held on September 17, 2012 and the ninth and final meeting will be December 3, 2013. Alice Messer with City of St. Paul Parks and Recreation will review the draft Master Plan with the Managers. Staff will discuss next steps and how the District most effectively offers comment on this draft Master Plan. Requested Actions None, information only enc:

Special Reports A) Summary and Analysis of Water Quality Data from the Capitol Region Watershed District’s Stormwater Monitoring Program, 2005-2012, Benjamin D.Janke, Ph.D, University of Minnesota (Suppes)

Mr. Fossum introduced Dr. Jacques Finlay and Dr. Ben Janke from the University of Minnesota. Since 2005, CRWD has been collecting and analyzing water quality data through the District Monitoring Program. CRWD determined that additional analysis of the robust data set was needed to identify long-term trends. In January 2013, CRWD contracted with Dr. Finlay and Dr. Janke at the University of Minnesota to perform additional analyses of CRWD monitoring data. The final deliverable by Dr. Janke is a comprehensive report titled “Summary and Analysis of Water Quality Data from CRWD’s Stormwater Monitoring Program, 2005-2012”. The objectives of the analyses and report were to: (1) Investigate spatial and seasonal patterns in water yields and concentrations of nutrient and metals (2) Understand the impact of storm even characteristics (e.g. rainfall depth, antecedent dry days or rainfall) on loading of water and nutrients (3) Investigate the impact on water and nutrient loading of differences in land cover and drainage characteristics among monitored sub-watersheds (4) Determine exceedence probabilities of water yields and nutrient loads (5) Quantify probabilities and seasonality of metal toxicity exceedences

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

The primary goals of these analyses were to better understand water and nutrient loading patterns in the watershed, inform the design of future stormwater BMPs, and aid in the development of TMDLs or water quality goals for the CRWDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lakes and streams. The analyses provide methods that may be used to compare future monitoring seasons to data from the summary period (2005-2012). A summary has also been compiled of major patterns in spatial and seasonal variability among monitored sub-watersheds, which may help identify seasons and/or specific sub-watersheds or BMPs that may be crucial for managing water quality in the CRWD. Dr. Janke reported that the data confirms that the majority of phosphorus and sediment loading is the result of storm flow in CRWD. Surprisingly, the majority of nitrogen loading can be attributed to baseflow. Statistical analysis of cumulative frequency distribution indicated BMPs in the watershed are performing as designed and are reducing runoff volumes. Data analyzed from CRWD indicates about 80-85% of the rainfall events are 1 inch or less and 60-65% of the runoff volume is contained in storms 1 inch or less. Dr. Janke pointed out that CRWDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monitoring data set is very extensive and is being noted by other researchers across the nation. B) Statistical Analysis of Lake Data in the Capitol Region Watershed District, Joe Bischoff, Wenck Associates, Inc. (Eleria) Ms. Eleria introduced Joe Bischoff with Wenck Assocaites, Inc. In early January 2013, CRWD hired Wenck Associates, Inc. to conduct a more in-depth analysis of the four CRWD lakes water quality data collected by Ramsey County to better understand temporal, seasonal and climatic trends and the factors driving these trends. Specifically, CRWD sought answers to several questions for each of the lakes including: 1) Is the lake water quality data generally getting better or worse; 2) What are the trends; and 3) What factors are driving these trends. Mr. Bischoff reviewed statistical and graphical analysis of CRWD lake water quality data, trend analysis of selected water quality parameters, and a qualitative assessment of potential trend drivers. The Board reviewed and commented on the draft technical memorandum summarizing the results and recommendations for further analysis and monitoring. V.

Action Items A) AR: Approve Minutes of the October 16, 2013 Regular Meeting (Sylvander)

Motion 13-203: Approve Minutes of the October 16, 2013 Regular Meeting. Jones/Reider Unanimously approved B) AR: Approve Contract Amendment #4 with Wench Associates Inc. for the Highland Ravine Project (Eleria) Ms. Eleria reviewed in early November 2012, CRWDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Board of Managers approved Wenck Associates as the engineer for the Highland Ravine Stabilization Project for an original contract amount of $45,476. To date, CRWD has approved three contract amendments for additional engineering work at cost of $8,110 for a total engineering budget of $53,586. The additional work included stabilization designs for ravines discovered during field work, addressing another round of comments, and covering other design changes that were outside the original scope of work. Due to the expanding scope of the project and the complexities of working with private property owners, Wenck has exceeded the engineering budget and seeks additional funds to cover portion of the unpaid expenses to date and the remaining tasks including finalizing the stabilization plans for all ravines, completing the Our Mission is to protect, manage and improve the water resources of Capitol Region Watershed District

contract documents, assisting CRWD with easements/agreements, and bidding. Wenck is requesting $7,634 to complete the engineering work. Currently, the Wenck contract deadline is December 31, 2013, which needs to be extended through 2014. CRWD staff anticipates all plans will be completed and easements/agreements secured in February 2014. The project will go out for bid in March 2014 and construction will commence in summer 2014. Motion 13-204: Approve Contract Amendment #4 for Wenck Associates, In.c for the Highland Ravine Stabilization Project in an amount not to exceed $7,634.00 for a total budget not to exceed $61,220 and a contract deadline of December 31, 2014.

AR: Establish the Monitoring, Research and Maintenance Division (Doneux)

Administrator Doneux reviewed Minnesota Statue 103D.325, Subdivision 1 provides the District with employment authority and states that the CRWD Board of Managers may employ a chief engineer, professional assistants, and other employees, and provide for their qualifications, duties, and compensation. The District recognizes the need to regularly evaluate and assess staff size, skills and structure. Since the District first started hiring employees with the Administrator position in 2003, the staff organizational structure has been flat. All employees report directly to the Administrator. Over time staff organized around the monitoring and BMP maintenance has grown in numbers with 5.5 FTE working in this area currently. Because of this growth and need to provide more direct supervision for these staff, Administrator Doneux feels there is benefit in establishing functional Divisions as an organizational tool to provide enhanced and more direct staff supervision, training and mentoring. In addition to the District benefit, staff desires the opportunity to grow and gain management experience at CRWD. Establishing functional units (Division) within the Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff structure recognizes the benefit for both staff and the District to provide professional advancement for staff to strengthen the organization, reduce turnover and maintain high employee satisfaction. Administrator Doneux emphasized that staff structure beyond establishing the Monitoring, Research and Maintenance Division is not known and the organizational structure is something that will need to be regularly reviewed and evolve overtime with District programs, projects and staffing requirements. This plan has been reviewed with the Personnel Committee and the Board of Managers. Administrator Doneux recommend the Board of Managers create and establishes the Division of Monitoring, Research and Maintenance. He also recommended that the Board of Managers regularly evaluate the Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff structure to ensure an efficient and effective structure that harnesses staff skills, abilities and professional development goals. Motion 13-205: Adopt Resolution Creating and Establishing the Monitoring, Research and Maintenance Division. Reider/Texer Unanimously approved D)

AR: Approve Program Manager III Position (Doneux)

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

Currently the District does not have a Program Manger III position. Administrator Doneux drafted a position description and has reviewed it with the Personnel Committee. The Primary Objective of this position is to manage the Monitoring, Research and Maintenance Division. In addition, this position will perform skilled to highly skilled duties providing water resource management, protection and planning as it relates to the implementation of District’s Watershed Management Plan and annual work plan. The Program Manager coordinates the implementation of their Division’s area of responsibility within the District’s Watershed Management Plan. Major areas of accountability and essential job functions include: program and project Management, Fiscal management and employee supervision. In addition to creating the Program Manager III position, Adminstrator Doneux is requesting Board approval to promote Bob Fossum into this position. Bob Fossum has been with the District since 2004 and has been instrumental in implementing many major projects and programs with the District including, Rules, the 2010 Watershed Management Plan and the Arlington Pascal project. Most recently Bob Fossum has brought his leadership and management skills to help stabilize the Monitoring and BMP Maintenance programs of the District after significant staff turnover. In accordance with the District Salary Administration Policy, the Personnel Committee must approve any change in Grade for an existing employee. The Personnel Committee has met and supports this promotion and is seeking Board Approval of this action. Motion 13-206: Approve Program Manager III Position and Position Description Reider/Jones Unanimously approved Motion 13-207: Approve Promotion of Bob Fossum to Grade 11 and to fill Program Manager III Position Reider/Jones Unanimously approved E)

AR: Approve 2014 Employee Health Insurance Program (Doneux)

Administrator Doneux reviewed that since 2003, Bearence (formally TC Fields) has provided insurance to the District. During late 2011 the District looked at other options for benefits for employees. Staff worked with Bearence to review and determine a new benefits package with the goal of attempting to meet the following objectives: 1. Realize a cost savings for the District and District employees. 2. Obtain similar benefit coverage’s to those currently available to District employees through Ramsey County. The District has purchased health benefit package from Health Partners through Bearance for 2012 and 2013. The District purchased dental and other ancillary coverage’s (Life, Short Term and Long Term Disability) from Ramsey County. The District is now ready to take the next step and obtain all benefit coverage through Bearance. Staff has obtained benefit quotes from Bearance for health, dental and ancillary coverage’s. Bearance obtains quotes from at least three vendors when soliciting benefit quotes. Staff has reviewed potential changes to the benefits with the Employee Committee (Managers Texer and Collins). Our Mission is to protect, manage and improve the water resources of Capitol Region Watershed District

Motion 13-208: Approve the 2014 Employee Benefit Program as follows: 1) 2) 3) 4)

Effective January 1, 2014, the District move all employee benefit programs from Ramsey County to those offered through the District’s Insurance Company, the Bearence Management Group. The District requires a monthly employee contribution of $40.00 for single, $80.00 for Single Plus One and $120.00 for Family health insurance, effective December 1, 2013. The District requires a monthly employee contribution of $10.00 for single, $20.00 for Single Plus One and $40.00 for Family dental insurance, effective January 1, 2013. The District will continue to provide ancillary employee benefits including life, short term disability and long term disability insurance. These programs and the employee/District contributions will be consistent to those offered by Ramsey County. The District will continue to provide Life Insurance and Long Term Disability coverage consistent with the Ramsey County Program and allow employees to purchase additional coverage at their cost. The District provide payroll deductions and employee contributions to Health Care Flexible Spending Accounts and Dependent Care Spending Accounts.

AR: Approve MAWD Resolution (Doneux)

Administrator Doneux and Board Members shared interest in improving the planning and communication from Minnesota Association of Watershed District’s (MAWD) that helps support MAWD’s lobbyist. A resolution has been drafted by Mary Texer for the MAWD Board to adopt. Manager Texer reviewed the draft resolution the Minnesota Association of Watershed Districts (MAWD) has a vested public interest in the activities of the laws and rules of the Minnesota State Legislature and Administration. MAWD had engaged the lobbying services of Ray Bohn to advance the Association’s legislative agenda. Individual Watershed Districts can fully support the Association’s legislative agenda only if they are fully informed about the ongoing legislative process. Social media has become a powerful tool that can include both individuals and organizations from around the state to keep them immediately informed of legislative activities. A resolution was proposed that the MAWD Board adopt and communicate to the membership no later than the third Tuesday in January each year a well articulated legislative agenda and lobbying activities and processes that include the following: A structured inclusive approach to legislative lobbying that promotes active participation by the Watershed Districts, their staff and boards; Key talking points for the Watershed Districts, their staff and boards that engage legislators and advance the legislative agenda; A comprehensive social media strategy that informs and calls people to action in support of the legislative agenda. Motion 13-209: Adopt MAWD resolution. Texer/Reider Unanimously approved VI.

Unfinished Business A.

Inspiring Communities Program Update (Eleria and Castro)

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

Ms. Eleria reviewed the partnership CRWD has partnered with the City of Saint Paul’s Planning and Economic Development (PED) Department since August 2011 on creating water-friendly landscapes at single-family residential properties that the City is acquiring and redeveloping through its Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP). For each NSP property, CRWD has prepared a landscape plan that includes stormwater BMP(s) (i.e., rain gardens, swales, etc.) to provide proper drainage away from the property, minimize stormwater runoff from the property, enhance the property’s aesthetics and improve water quality of the Mississippi River. The Neighborhood Stabilization Program, now called Inspiring Communities Program has been undergoing some changes. Up to now, CRWD has been working directly with the City of St. Paul, and they have been implementing many of the rehabilitation of vacant single family buildings over the last couple of years. Moving forward, the program is shifting to a developer driven model that allocates property and subsidy through an open bid process to developers. To that end, the City released and RFP in early October with around 77 properties, which includes a mix of owner occupied and rental, as well as vacant building rehabs and new construction. In this new format, the developer is ultimately responsible for initiating work with CRWD. The enhancement of the RFP properties to achieve water quality benefits is still a requirement of the program, however, developers are not required to work with CRWD. Nevertheless, CRWD will continue to offer a free landscape design and rebates, generally ranging from $500 - $1,000, for the installation of rain gardens. In cases where CRWD identifies a unique opportunity for the installation of other management practice, higher rebates could be considered. VII.

Background In September 2013 the Board of Managers awarded $510,000 in Special Grant funds. An additional $50,000 was left unallocated to use as contingency funds. To provided needed match funds for a CWF grant application for Central High School, $30,000 of those contingency funds were allocated to that project leaving $20,000 in contingency funds. Issues There are two Special Grant projects requiring an update, and a new project (Dellwood Gardens) that may be a good candidate for grant funds. 1. Episcopal Homes: In early November, CRWD was notified by Episcopal Homes that they were withdrawing their grant request of $60,000 due to an expedited construction schedule. These funds were added to the contingency funds. Changes are reflected in the attached table. 2. Lowertown Ballpark: St. Paul is in discussions with Metropolitan Council regarding directing roof runoff from the Green Line Operation and Maintenance Facility (OMF) to the ballpark for reuse. OMF is adjacent to the ballpark site and approximately 2 acres of the 4 acre roof could be redirected to the ballpark. This could result in considerable reductions to runoff and potable water use, but will likely carry considerable cost due to the increased need for storage. The ballpark design process is in high gear so quick decisions may be needed in order to take advantage of opportunities as they are identified. 3. Dellwood Gardens: Dellwood Gardens approached Capitol Region Watershed District about collaborating on a stormwater re-use system utilizing roof runoff for irrigation and potentially flushing toilets. The building is currently being renovated as an assisted living facility that will serve low-income, urban populations. The building ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to reduce potable water use for irrigation and toilets so funds can be redirected to providing services for residents. To support the effort and help with planning, CRWD has requested assistance from several consulting firms with experience in the area of stormwater reuse systems to explore and analyze reuse options. Action Requested None. Enclosures: Updated 2014 Special Grant Funding Summary Table \\CRWDC01\Company\06 Projects\Special Grants\2014\Bd Memo 2014 Special Grants Update 11-13-2013.docx

November 20, 2013 Board Meeting VI. Unfinished Business – B) TBI Realignment Project (Eleria)

DATE: TO: FROM: RE:

November 14, 2013 CRWD Board of Managers Anna Eleria, Water Resource Project Manager TBI Realignment Project Recap

Background The first phase of the TBI Realignment Project at Station 53+08.5 to Station 60+48.6 was completed in Fall 2012. Phase I activities included installation of 162 feet of 12’x9’ box culvert beneath BNSF railroad tracks within 30-hour work window, installation of an additional 400 feet of box culvert outside of BNSF ROW, construction of City sanitary sewer line and manholes, dewatering of construction area and pumping groundwater to TBI, and removal and disposal of contaminated soil. Issues The second phase of the project commenced in August 2013 after MnDOT removed the existing Mississippi Street bridge and was completed in early November 2013. Phase II activities included dewatering the construction area, diverting baseflows and stormwater flows from the TBI section upstream of construction area to TBI section downstream of that area, installing the remaining 236 feet of new box culvert, constructing transition sections between the existing and new TBI, and abandoning the old TBI alignment. CRWD and Barr Engineering staff will provide a summary of the completed project including an updated budget at the Board meeting. Action Requested None, for your information.
