1. Construction Plan (6 sheets), by City of St. Paul, dated 1/15/14, recd. 1/30/14. 2. Letter to CRWD, by City of St. Paul, dated 1/30/14, recd. 1/30/14. 3. Drainage Area Map, by City of St. Paul, not dated, recd. 1/30/14. 4. HydroCAD report, by City of St. Paul, dated 1/28/14, recd. 1/30/14.

HISTORY & CONSIDERATIONS: None. 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 one inch of rainfall over the watershed impervious surfaces.

a. There is no impervious surface proposed by the project. b. Volume retention: Volume Retention Required (cu. ft.) Volume Retention Provided (cu. ft.)

0 31,808 (based on 2.0” rainfall over

impervious surface)

c. Banking of excess volume retention of 31,089 cubic feet is proposed. d. Infiltration volume and facility size has been calculated using the

appropriate hydrological soil group classification and design infiltration rate.

e. The infiltration area is capable of infiltrating the required volume within 48 hours.

f. Stormwater runoff is not pretreated to remove solids before discharging to infiltration areas.

4. Alternative compliance sequencing has not been requested. 5. Best management practices achieve 90% total suspended solids removal from

the runoff generated on an annual basis. 6. A memorandum of agreement for maintenance of stormwater facilities exists

between the City 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. It is not known if all habitable buildings, roads, and parking structures on or

adjacent to the project site comply with CRWD freeboard requirements. However, sufficient conveyances have been provided to allow the storm sewer system to function as or better than it did prior to the project.


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 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. Project site is not greater than 1 acre; an NPDES permit is not required.

DATE: February 12, 2014

TO: CRWD Board of Managers

FROM: Elizabeth Beckman

RE: Special Report: Urban Roots program update

Background

Since 2008, CRWD has supported Community Design Center of Minnesota through a Partner

Grant for stipends for youth serving in the conservation corps program. Student participants

spend the summer installing and maintaining rain gardens and other environmental restoration

work.

Issues

Last year, Community Design Center of Minnesota changed its name to Urban Roots

(http://www.urbanrootsmn.org), and Executive Director Tamara Downs-Schwei will give a

2014 program update at the February 19 board meeting.

CRWD Board approved a 2014 Partner Grant of $12,000 to fund conservation corps youth

stipends. Corps members will spend time on several projects that have been supported by

CRWD in the past including the Gateway Rain Garden managed by Saint Paul Parks and

Recreation, the Maria-Bates rain garden adjacent to Swede Hollow Café and CRWD

Stewardship Grant projects on Saint Paul’s East Side.

Request Action

None requested.

Motion 14-017: Approve the February 5, 2014 Agenda.

Texer/Jones

Unanimously approved

II. Public Comments – For Items not on the Agenda

There were no public comments.

III. Permit Applications and Program Updates

A) Board discussion – Delegation of Erosion Control Permits (Kelley)

Mr. Kelley reviewed that currently all permits are approved by the Board of Managers prior to being issued for

work to commence. Erosion control permits generally require less review time, and in most cases consist of

straightforward Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans identifying locations of silt fence, and inlet protection

devices. Occasionally, contractors or land owners are not aware of the requirement to obtain CRWD Erosion

Control permits for demolition projects, or grading work must occur before stormwater management solutions

are determined. The ability for staff to review and approve Erosion Control Permits would reduce the time

between plan submittal and the permit being issued. This would also reduce staff time preparing Board Packet

materials. Staff suggests that complex or politically controversial projects that require a higher level of review

still be brought to the Board of Managers for approval, and permits issued during the period between Meetings

would be presented as regular updates.

Motion 14-018: Delegate the Authority to Approve and Issue Erosion and Sediment Control Permits

Determined to be in Compliance with CRWD Rule F to Staff.

Texer/Reider


B) Permit Program/Rules Update (Kelley)

Mr. Kelley gave an update on the permit program. Mr. Kelley will be organizing the next TAC meeting in late

February.

IV. Special Reports.

A) High Performance Green Infrastructure: Distributed Real-time Monitoring and Control, Charlene

Harper, Geosyntec Consultants

Ms. Charlene Harper, Sr. Engineer with Geosyntec was in attendance to share information about a high

performance green infrastructure with real-time monitoring and control. The system that Ms. Harper reviewed is

designed to empty storage tanks when an expected rainfall is at 70%. This system uses NOAA weather

predictions to determine timing and how much water should be discharged to maximize rainwater capture

during a storm (flood protection). The storage tanks will empty prior to a rainfall and prevent erosion and

flooding. The storage tanks refill again from the rainfall. The system is run on solar power with a battery

backup. The Board thanked Ms. Harper for her presentation.

B) Dellwood Gardens Rainwater Reuse Feasibility Study, Nate Zwonitzer, Charlene Harper and

Rich Pakonen

Mr. Zwonitzer introduced Mr. Pakonen and Mr. Sia Lo from Dellwood Gardens. Mr. Pakonen, the owner of the

building was in the process of renovating to create an assisted living facility that serves minority populations.

Mr. Pakonen has options to reduce building overhead costs and maximize services provided to residents. Mr.

Pakonen was curious about rainwater harvesting and reuse options. To learn more about rainwater harvesting

opportunities, CRWD contracted with Geosyntec Consultants to complete a feasibility study for the property.

Ms. Charlene Harper reviewed a feasibility study identifing several options for harvesting rainwater from the

roof of Dellwood Gardens and using it for irrigation or a combination of irrigation and toilet flushing. It also

discusses challenges to the project including building infrastructure requirements and plumbing code. The

report describes the benefits provided by two reuse system types. First is a passive system with a valve that can

be opened or closed seasonally to slowly draw down the tank and provide storage space for the next rain event.

Cost is a major factor in reuse systems. Potable water is very inexpensive in Minnesota, and potable water

savings alone do not provide enough return on investment to justify reuse systems. CRWD will continue

working with Dellwood Gardens to explore funding options, and the project may be submitted for a future

round of Special Grants.

V. Action Items

A) AR: Approve Minutes of the January 22nd, 2013 Regular Meeting (Sylvander)


Motion 14-019: Approve Minutes of the January 22nd, 2013 Regular Meeting.

Jones/Texer


B) AR: Approve Request for Qualifications for Information Technology Services (Sylvander)

Ms. Sylvander reviewed that in 2013 CRWD entered into an agreement with All Covered, Inc. for Professional

IT Support. As part of the IT Support, All Covered was hired to assess and advise on equipment, provide

desktop support, maintain and manage computer systems. Staff have formed a Technology Committee to

review the needs of CRWD. Staff are requesting authorization to solicit qualifications from professional

vendors for Information Technology support services. The qualified vendor will enable CRWD to improve

information technology (IT) effectiveness, enhance its quality of services, stabilize its support cost, and improve

staff and organizational efficiency and ensure safe and reliable access to District electronic records and data.

Motion 14-020: Authorize staff to distribute Request for Qualifications for Information Technology Support

Services.

Texer/Reider


C) AR: Approve Request for Qualifications for Title Services (Eleria)

Ms. Eleria reviewed the Ownership and responsibility for the six-mile Trout Brook Storm Sewer Interceptor

(TBI) was transferred from Metropolitan Council to CRWD in 2006. Prior to completing transfer of ownership,

CRWD hired Sunde Surveying to conduct an assessment of TBI easements in 2004. Sunde mapped the existing

TBI easements and collected available easement documentation. During the easement assessment, several issues

were identified but these issues did not affect CRWD’s acquisition of TBI. The issues include TBI sections

without an easement, only 20-foot easements for sections of TBI when a 40-foot easement is desirable,

easement boundaries not matching the actual location of TBI, no recorded deed or other recorded

documentation of the easements, and all TBI easements in the name of previous owner, City of Saint Paul or

Metropolitan Council.

CRWD staff seeks to hire a title company or other qualified professional to conduct a comprehensive

identification and assessment of the issues and resolve them accordingly. Enclosed is a draft request for

qualifications (RFQ). CRWD staff anticipates distributing the RFQ to at least three title companies and has

received title company recommendations from Sunde Surveying and Barr Engineering. Because the scope of

the issues (number of parcels involved, issue type(s), etc.) is not fully understood at this time, it is difficult to

estimate a budget for this work. Interested firms will be evaluated on their proposed approach, tasks,

deliverables and staff hourly rates. Funding for this work would come from Project #320-14552.

Motion 14-021: Approve request for qualifications for TBI Easement Title Services Project and authorize

Administrator to distribute to title companies or other qualified professional.

Reider/Texer


D) AR: Approve Letter of Understanding with the Office of the State Auditor (Sylvander)


Ms. Sylvander reviewed that each year the District contracts the State of Minnesota – Office of the State

Auditor to conduct our annual audit. The District annually executes a Letter of Understanding with the Office

of the State Auditor. The audit will begin around March 1st and is expected to be completed in mid-April. The

results of the audit and copies of the financial statements are included in our annual report. Staff will request the

letter of understanding be reissued with President Joe Collins name.

Motion 14-022: Authorize Board President and Administrator to execute the Letter of Understanding for 2013

Audit Services with the Office of the State Auditor.

Texer/Reider


E) AR: Authorize Letter of Interest for Future Office Space (Doneux)

Administrator Doneux reviewed that at the January 8th

Board meeting, CRWD’s real estate consultants Michelle

McGuire and Joe Hughes from CB Richard Ellis presented the Districts the preliminary Needs Assessment as

well as a review of existing facilities. Michelle McGuire presented the findings of preliminary Market Analysis

including a financial analysis of three office facility options. Those options include build, buy and lease.

Michelle McGuire conducted a Board Workshop to further refine and clarify the Districts needs and priorities

for a future office space.

At the conclusion of the workshop it was agreed to conduct an office tour with the Board of Managers. The

tour was conducted on January 29th

and the Board viewed four potential office locations. As a result of that

tour, the Board may consider sending a non-binding letter of intent to agent for the 327 York Avenue property.

Joe Hughes of CB Richard Ellis drafted an example agreement to discuss and review. Administrator Doneux

requested a delay for action. The first action would be to have Attorney Mogan review the letter of intent. The

letter also includes an amount that the Board of Managers needs to review and discuss. Administrator Doneux

would like additional time to summarize comments from the staff tour.

Motion 14-023: To schedule a closed meeting on February 26th

for further consideration of the letter of

interest for 327 York Avenue.

Texer/Jones


VI. Unfinished Business

A. FI: Highland Ravine (Eleria)

Ms. Eleria provided an update on the Highland Ravine. A homeowners was held on February 3rd

. The meeting

included a review of the timeline with a final completion date. Ms. Eleria said the meeting went very well. The

neighbors who were in attendance had some very good questions. The Deer Park Association is currently

reviewing the access agreement.

B. FI: Curtiss Pond (Fossum).

Mr. Fossum reviewed changes to the final design plans from Houston Engineering. Mr. Fossum reviewed

changes that would increase the storage area. The design change will also reduce addition work required by the

City of Falcon Heights maintaining the holding tanks. Mr. Fossum will be meeting with the City of Falcon

Heights City Engineer to review these changes.
