Respectfully submitted, Todd J. Ifaas Attachments: Request from the MPCA, Information about groundwater quality monitoring in Minnesota, Proposed agreement, on proposed locations of wells in Hawk Ridge and Lund's North Parks '/ From: Becca Reason [mailto :breason @peerengineering.com] Sent: Thursday, February 10, 20114:07 PM To: Dave Berkowitz Subject: Monitoring Wells for MPCA Hi David, Thanks for talking with me today about the possible installation of monitoring wells in Andover as part of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's Ambient Groundwater Quality Monitoring Networking program. I have attached a fact sheet prepared by the MPCA describing the program. Peer Engineering is a consultant for the MPCA, and we have been contracted to assist with identifying viable permanent monitoring well locations and obtaining access for installation. The goal is to have access agreements in place by mid -March and install the wells between late April and early June of 2011. The MPCA /State are paying all well installation and future sampling costs. Also attached are the two (2) site summary sheets for the possible well locations at Hawk Ridge Park and Lunds North Park. The locations were identified based on surrounding land use and soil type. The two wells at the parks have a desired land use of residential un- sewered areas within 500 meters of the monitoring well as well as calcareous sandy soil types in the area. The actual well location within the parks can be adjusted based on the city's recommendation and /or future park plans. The general MPCA access agreement for the groundwater quality monitoring program is also attached. This agreement has been reviewed by the State Attorney General. Please use review it and use it in your discussions going forward. If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks again for your assistance thus far and going forward.

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) monitors the quality of our groundwater and protects it from contamination in cooperation with other state and local agencies. What Is Ambient Monitoring? Ambient monitoring is one important component of the MPCA's groundwater protection efforts. Data collected from ambient monitoring activities provide information about the general quality of Minnesota's groundwater and helps identify whether the quality is getting better, worse, or not changing. Ambient monitoring involves the sampling of groundwater across large geographic settings and provides a large -scale or "big picture" view of groundwater quality conditions across the state. Ambient monitoring is not conducted where there is known contamination. How Is This Information Used? Data collected from MPCA ground water investigations is valuable to drinking water protection efforts. This data informs the state's drinking water supply protection efforts, identifies threats to groundwater quality, and guides the development of best management practices to avoid future groundwater impacts. These data are available on -line through the MPCA's Environmental Data Access system. MPCA's Ambient Groundwater Monitoring Network The MPCA's ambient monitoring network focuses on determining the amount of non- agricultural chemicals in the aquifers that are most susceptible to pollution from human activities. The network focuses on the surficial sand and gravel and Prairie du Chien -Jordan aquifers. Both of these are heavily used for drinking water. Assessments of agricultural chemicals are performed by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. A network of shallow wells tapping the water table is monitored by the MPCA as an early warning network in the surficial sand and gravel aquifers. Groundwater near the water table typically is not used as a source of potable water supplies and likely does not reflect the quality of water people are consuming, but any changes in groundwater quality will be detected first in these wells. The early warning network detects whether human activities may be affecting groundwater quality. The MPCA is enhancing its early warning network to improve the assessment of groundwater quality conditions and trends across the state. The agency will be installing additional monitoring wells and focuses on typical urban land use settings. The newly- constructed wells will be sampled annually for non - agricultural chemicals. Clean Water Land and Legacy Amendment Enhancements to the MPCA's ambient groundwater quality monitoring network are funded through the Clean Water, Wildlife, Cultural Heritage and Natural Areas Amendment On November 4, 2008, Minnesota voters approved this amendment which increased the sales and use tax rate by three - eighths of one percent on taxable sales through 2034. Part of these funds are used to protect, enhance, and restore the groundwater, with at least five percent of the funds targeted to protect drinking water source.

Purpose of Agreement. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) is enhancing its ambient groundwater monitoring network in Minnesota. The attached fact sheet describes this groundwater monitoring network ( "network "), which will help provide information about the quality of Minnesota's groundwater and identify trends in water quality. The MPCA is assessing groundwater in this region. As part of the groundwater assessment, the MPCA is installing wells to obtain water samples for analysis. 2. Parties. This agreement is between the MPCA and (the "Property Owner "), who owns property located at (the "Property") where the MPCA would like to install a monitoring well. The MPCA is authorized to enter any property, public and private, for the purpose of conducting surveys under Minn. Stat. § § 115.04, subd. 3. 3. Consent-to access. The "Property Owner" hereby consents to participation in the network and authorizes the MPCA, its employees and agents, to enter the Property for the purpose of- 1) installing a permanent groundwater monitoring well at the location shown on attachment 1; and 2) collecting groundwater samples from the monitoring well according to the schedule set forth below. 4. Notice. The MPCA will notify the Property Owner of the name of the environmental consulting firm that will be managing the monitoring well installation at least two weeks before the installation. 5. Location of well. The MPCA's consultant will coordinate the monitoring well installation with the Property Owner to ensure that a mutually agreeable location on the Property is identified. 5. Permits, required actions. The MPCA will be responsible for obtaining all permits and providing notices to utilities related to the installation. The MPCA's consultant will coordinate all contractors involved in installation, including locating all utilities prior to well installation and completing all Minnesota Department of Health permits required to install the well. 6. Well installation. The Property Owner understands and agrees that the well installation will require three separate site visits. All buried utilities will be located during the first site visit. This will take approximately 1 -2 hours to complete and will be done prior to the well installation. The well will be drilled during second site visit, which will take approximately one working day to complete. The well will be prepared for water sample collection during the fmal site visit. These preparations involve pumping water from the well and monitoring its quality. These activities will take one -half day to complete and will be performed no sooner than 24 hours after well installation. 7. Sampling; notice of sampling. After installation, the MPCA will sample the monitoring well once a year. Sampling will involve pumping water from the well, collecting field measurements of the water, and collecting samples for later laboratory analysis. Sampling will take between 1 to 2 hours to complete. The MPCA or its consultant will notify the Property Owner at least 48 hours before entering the Property for the purpose of well installation or sampling. 8. Hours of work. All work under this access agreement will be conducted during regular business hours (8:00 AM to 5:00 PM) unless the MPCA or its consultant receives written permission by the owner or his/her agent to conduct work during different hours. 9. Disturbance of property. The well installation and sampling will be performed by the MPCA in a manner which minimizes interference with the Property Owner's use of the Property. If the MPCA's activities disturb any portion of the Property, the MPCA will restore the property to as close to its original condition as is reasonably possible under the circumstances. 10. Property Owner responsibilities. The Property Owner agrees to take reasonable precautions to insure that the equipment of the MPCA or its agents that is located on the Property, and any monitoring wells that are located on the Property, are not damaged and that the work being conducted by the MPCA, its employees and agents is not disrupted. 11.

Discuss Park Comprehensive Plan and Park CIP/Playground Equipment Replacements DATE: March 3, 2011 INTRODUCTION This item is in regards to discussing the Park Comprehensive Plan and the Park CIP for playground equipment replacement. DISCUSSION As of right now, the plan is to move forward with Timber Trails Park and Nordeen's Park. Kevin Starr in Parks Maintenance is currently working on a layout and the type of equipment that he would like to purchase and present to the City Council in the very near future. As far as playground equipment for future replacements, the Park Commission will need to come up with a philosophy on how park replacement and renovations for rural and urban parks are done. A copy of the city wide survey that was done in 2006 by Decision Resources Ltd is located in the side pocket of the packet for your review. Questions 3, 4, 12, 13, 21 and 22 were related to parks and trails that may be helpful in your discussions. The following is the current status of parks that are or could be identified in the Park Comprehensive Plan that was presented to the Commission at the last meeting: A. These are the parks that need 2 -5 yr old playground equipment that have never had equipment before for this age group: • Hawkridge, Forest Meadows, Fox Meadows, Shady Knoll, Hills of Bunker Lake West, Wild Iris, 138th Avenue Tot Lot, Andover Lions, Timber Rivers, and Chesterton Commons Note: Future park dedication funds can be used to purchase equipment for these parks that are identified. B. These are the parks that need 5 -12 yr old playground equipment that have never had equipment before for this age group: • Sunshine Note: Future park dedication funds can be used to purchase equipment for these parks that are identified. C. These are the parks that need 2 -12 yr old playground equipment that have never had equipment before for this age group: • Lund's North, Oak Hollow, Moore's Estates, Kelsey Round Lake, Dehn's, Crooked Lake Boat Landing, Creekridge, and Red Oaks West Note: Future park dedication funds can be used to purchase equipment for these parks that are identified. D. These are parks that need replacement of playground equipment for 5 -12 yr olds: • Forest Meadows, Andover Lions Note: Parks maintenance replacement funds are to be used to replace the equipment once they have been identified to be replaced due to age or the equipment does not meet ADA requirements. E. These are parks that need replacement of playground equipment for 2 -12 yr olds: • Timber Trails, Woodland Meadows, Nordeen's, Pleasant Oaks, and Meadows of Round Lake, Green Acres, Northwood's East, Langseth Note: Parks maintenance replacement funds are to be used to replace the equipment once they have been identified to be replaced due to age or the equipment does not meet ADA requirements. Staff has attached the current approved CIP for parks that have been proposed for replacement for 2011 -2015. The approved budget for playground equipment replacement is $45,000. A copy of the most current Park Comprehensive Plan (Tabs E and F) is located in the Information Packet that was in the last Commission packet. The Commission members that are not familiar with this or needs to be refreshed should review these sections prior to the meeting. Note: Staff has attached the City of Blaine's the following surveys: • Playground survey (2 pages) • Neighborhood park survey (2 pages) • Park neighborhood survey that was used in Colony Preserve Addition (2 pages) ACTION REQUIRED The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to discuss the Park Comprehensive Plan and the Park CIP for playground equipment replacement and the potential survey that could be used.
