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. However, the applicant is reducing impervious surface area.

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 one inch of rainfall over the impervious surfaces of the development.

a. The amount of proposed impervious onsite is 272,968 square feet. b. Volume retention:

RE: Permit Closeouts

Background

Construction activity is complete for permit 13-008, Phalen Office Park.

Issues

Final inspection has been conducted to confirm demolition of existing structures, construction of a new

parking lot, storm sewer connections to adjacent filtration basins, and final stabilization. The filtration

basins were constructed under separate permit (#12-006), providing the related stormwater treatment for

the parking lot.

$7,750 of surety was retained for the project.

Action Requested

Approve Certificate of Completion and associated $7,750 surety return for permit #13-008, Phalen

Office Park.

DATE: May 13, 2015

TO: Board of Managers

FROM: Mark Doneux, Administrator

RE: Building Committee Update

Background

At the May 7, 2014 Board Meeting the Managers approved an agreement for Real Estate Services with

DTZ. Former DTZ employees Mark Evenson and Kate Gillette are now with the firm of Avison Young

who are now are real estate consultants. In March of 2015, Mark Evenson and Kate Gillette gave the

Building Committee an update on the CRWD Program assumptions and corresponding square footage.

The list of possible properties was also updated to include a 1-3 ranking system. This system ranks a “1”

as a good prospect for a future office space, a “2” means that the site or building has some limitations and

may be marginal at meeting our needs and a “3” means that will come off the list and no longer be

considered. Mark Evenson and Kate Gillette also developed two timelines for a new office facility. One

timeline is specific for the purchase of an existing building because that process would take less time. The

second timeline is for a construction (Build to Suit) timeline due to the additional time necessary to plan,

design and construct a new facility.

Issues

At the May 20th Board meeting, Mark Evenson and Architect Jeff Gears will review the current property

list and discuss the pros and cons of each site. They will also review the CRWD program and the estimated

square footage required for either a purchase or build option. Finally, Mark and Jeff will review the budget

and timeline with the Board. The budget will reflect costs that are currently reflected in the market for

properties being considered by the District.

Action Requested

No Action Requested. Provide feedback, comments and direction to staff, consultants and Building

Committee on next steps.

IV. Special Reports – U of M Capstone Project, Trout Brook East Branch Subwatershed Study

Mr. Zwonitzer provided an update on the U of M Capstone Project. Since 2010, the District, with assistance

from local engineering firms (H.R. Green Company and HDR Inc.), have worked with groups of students in the

Civil Engineering Department of the University of Minnesota on their Capstone Project. The projects vary each

year but are related to water quality or flooding issues within the District. This partnership helps further the

work of the District while also offering real-world experience for college level students in the water resources

field.

For the spring 2015 semester, the District and H.R. Green worked with students at the University of Minnesota

Civil Engineering Department on their Capstone Project. The students: Andrew Corkery, Ian Olson-Holmly,

Dillon Nelson, and Anthony Vecchi worked on a subwatershed analysis project for the Trout Brook East Branch

subwatershed. The students reviewed the goals of the project and provided a presentation with recommendations.

The Managers thanked the students for their presentation.


V. Action Items

A) AR: Approve Minutes of the April 15, 2015 Workshop and Regular Meeting (Sylvander)

Motion 15-115: Approve Minutes of the April 15, 2015 workshop and regular meeting.

Jones/Texer


B) AR: Approve Grant to City of Roseville for Wetland Protection (Doneux)

Administrator Doneux reviewed that as part of CRWD Permit # 15-008 Victoria Street, the City of Roseville will

be acquiring land or an easement to construct wetland mitigation areas. In the process of the City conducting an

appraisal for the property, it became apparent that the cost for an easement alone, an outright purchase may be in

the best interest of the City. At the April 15, 2015 Board Meeting, Managers discussed the possibility of

supporting the City of Roseville in acquiring the parcel.

On April 22, 2015, the District received a grant request from the City of Roseville of up to $38,600 from the

District in support of the purchase of the parcel. Administrator Doneux drafted Land Conservation Analysis of

Victoria Wetland, City of Roseville. Administrator Doneux recommended offering the City of Roseville a grant

not to exceed $38,600 for the acquisition of this parcel. The 1.5 acre parcel straddles both a high quality wetland

and buffer area but also abuts existing public land to the north and east as well as nearly connecting to a City Park

(Pioneer) on the west. Administrator Doneux recommended that conditions be placed on the approval of funds.

Attorney Mogen recommended conditions 1-3. An agreement will be drafted for review by the Board. The

agreement will include goals such as: The City may provide a low impact future trail connection through the

property but no further park development including but not limited to buildings, parking and active recreational

facilities. The City shall develop and implement a restoration and management approved by the District for the

parcel. The City may only construct stormwater and/or wetland mitigation features on this parcel associated with

CRWD Permit #15-008 Victoria Street. In keeping with park connectivity and public access, an unobstructed

wide east/west trail or access lane must be maintained.

Motion 15-116: Approve grant funding not to exceed $38,600 to the City of Roseville for the acquisition of

Victoria Street wetland parcel and direct Attorney and Administrator to draft an agreement subject to

conditions 1-3:

1) The land remain in public ownership in perpetuity for primarily wetland protection and buffer purposes, as

well as open space/park connectivity;

2) The City grant to the District a conservation easement, deed restriction or similar instrument that provides

the District with controls to ensure the requirements of the grant are being met;

3) The City is responsible for all future ownership costs, maintenance and land management costs associated

with the parcel.

Reider/Texer


C) AR: Board Workshop for Watershed Management Plan – Mid Term Review (Fossum)


Mr. Fossum reviewed that on September 1, 2010, the Board of Managers adopted the District’s Watershed

Management Plan (WMP). The plan covers the term from 2010—2020. The District is currently at the half-

way point in the term of the WMP, it is a good time to evaluate implementation of the plan and consider

adjustments (if any) to the WMP.

Staff and EOR, Inc. have completed significant work on the on Mid-Term WMP Review. Specifically, we have

thoroughly reviewed the Initiatives, Goals, Issues, and Themes. The elements of the plan were also reviewed

with the CAC at a special meeting on April 29th. Mr. Fossum requested that the Board set a Board workshop

for later in May to review and discuss the work on this project thus far. The focus of the Managers review will

be focused on the WMP Issues, Goals, and Themes. The Managers discussed having a workshop on May 12th

from 5:00—6:30pm.

Motion 15-117: Set Board workshop for the Watershed Management Plan—Mid-Term Review for May 12th,

2015, at 5:00pm.

Texer/Jones


D) AR: Special Grant Agreement (Zwontizer)

Mr. Zwontizer reviewed that CRWD is currently managing funds from three grant awards for stormwater

retrofits at Central High School. A $50,000 2014 Special Grant to the school has $44,735.75 remaining after

some funds were used to develop the stormwater concepts in the master plan. BWSR awarded $175,000 to

CRWD for design finalization and implementation of stormwater features. Additionally, CRWD’s Board has

committed $150,000 in funds (match) for the project that will be available beginning in 2016.

Since the School District will be managing the project, CRWD needs an agreement to transfers funds and

provide project assurances. This agreement must be approved and executed by both parties in order for funds to

be available for the project. It is scheduled to be approved at the School District’s May 19th Board meeting.

Motion 15-118: Approve grant agreement with St. Paul Public Schools in the amount of $369,735.75 for

stormwater retrofits at Central High School pending review and approval by Ramsey County attorney.

Reider/Jones


VI. Unfinished Business

A) Education and Outreach Plan Update (Beckman)

Ms. Beckman reviewed that in fall of 2014, CRWD hired the communications firm Fourth Sector Consulting in

collaboration with Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed (RWMWD) and Mississippi Watershed Management

Organization (MWMO) to design a shared communications plan. In February 2015, CRWD Board of Managers

approved a Memorandum of Understanding with MWMO and RWMWD who will manage the contract with

Fourth Sector.

CRWD staff has made progress toward establishing the shared Strategic Communications Plan. On April 27,

CRWD staff hosted Fourth Sector Communications staff Katie Eukel, Tom Elko and Cathy Kennedy for an

onboarding field day. Staff gave the consultant team tours of some of our most impressive projects and

described the details of our programs.


CRWD staff and the consultant team have developed a set of communications-related interview questions.

Fourth Sector will conduct group interviews with Staff and Board Managers. A Board workshop will be held

on May 20th, 2015 at 5:00 p.m.

B) CHS Field (Lowertown Ballpark) (Zwonitzer)

Mr. Zwonitzer reviewed the progress at the Lowertown Ballpark. The ballpark is scheduled to open on May 18,

2015 for the first game. Mr. Zwonitzer shared artistic renderings of signage to be sandblasted into the cement

area above the location of the rain water storage tank. The first design was made up of dots depicting the image

of numerous rain drops rippling in a puddle. Each dot would represent one gallon of water stored in the rain water

reuse storage tank. The cost of design one would range from $25,000-$35,000. The second design was a solid

circle around the area of the rain water storage tank. The cost of the second design was $5,000. Because of the

tight time schedule of the park opening the Board discussed modifying the design and having it installed at a later

time during the off season. The Board agreed to increase the funding of the design.

Motion 15-119: Authorize additional funding not to exceed $10,000 to the Lowertown Ballpark for signage of

the rainwater reuse system.

Thienes/Texer


C) Lake McCarron’s Aquatic Plant Harvesting Update (Zwonitzer)

Mr. Zwonitzer provided a review of the Lake McCarron’s Aquatic Plant Harvesting. Three bids were received

from contractors. The new contractor will be Waterfront Restoration LLC. Twenty one homeowners will

participate in two rounds of the plant harvesting. After this season staff will review the homeowner’s contribution.

D) Upper Villa Stormwater Improvement Project Update (Kelley)

Mr. Kelley reviewed that the project went out to bid on April 3rd. Bids were due by April 24th. Seven bids were

received. Mr. Kelley will be providing a recommendation for New Look Contracting at the May 20th Board

meeting.

E) Ford Site Update (Fossum)

Mr. Fossum reviewed the former Ford Twin Cities Assembly Plant will be redeveloped in the coming years on

more than 135 acres of land situated along the Mississippi River. The City of St. Paul’s vision for the site is that

it will be a livable, mixed-use neighborhood that looks to the future with clean technologies and high quality

design for energy, buildings and infrastructure. This site will support walking, biking and transit, and provide

services, jobs and activities that every generation can enjoy.

The Ford Site Redevelopment represents a tremendous opportunity to Bring Water Back to St. Paul. The Ford

Site (Hidden Falls extension) was identified in the District’s Stream Corridor Restoration Plan completed as part

of the 2010 Watershed Management Plan. Significant emphasis was placed on stream corridor restoration in the

2010 WMP and the Hidden Falls project was ranked high. As the District moves into the planning of this

significant project, it is timely to review how the stream corridor restoration opportunity at the Ford Site was

identified and ranked in the 2010 Watershed Management Plan.


A public meeting is scheduled for June 23rd at the Gloria Dei Church by the City of St. Paul. The Great River

Park Plan will be reviewed. Mr. Fossum will send out more information to the Board of Managers.

F) Building Committee Update (Texer & Thienes)

Manager Texer reviewed some sites that the committee is taking into consideration as possible locations for a

new office. The District’s Real Estate consultant will be present at the May 20th Board meeting to provide a more

detailed review of the sites.

RE: April 2015 Accounts Payable/Receivable and Administrative/Program Budget

Report

_________________________________________________________________________________

Background

Enclosed are the Accounts Payable/Receivable and the Administrative/Program Budget Reports for the

Month of April 2015.

Issues

The District Accountant Redpath has changed the accounting software to Sage 100. Because most staff

are salaried and now entering their time directly into Sage, payroll expenses are going directly to a job

cost using a burdened hourly rate that includes all benefits per employee. Because of the burdened hourly

rate and the timing of when invoices are entered into the new software, the amount of the accountants

payable will not match the budget report.

Summary of Accounts Payable/Receivable Report: Accts Payable $ 323,967.32

(Actual Paid in May) Accounts Receivable $ 238,961.53

Summary of Preliminary Budget Report: Administrative Budget $ 69,958.90

(Actual April Expenses) Program Budget $ 73,206.01

Project Budget $ 32,261.46

Capital Improvement Budget $ 99,135.12

TOTAL $ 274,561.49

Request Action

Approve April 2015 Accounts Payable/Receivable and April Budget Report, direct Treasurer and Board

President to endorse and disperse checks for these payments.

May 12, 2015 Board of Managers CAPITOL REGION WATERSHED DISTRICT 1410 Energy Park Drive, Suite 4 St. Paul, MN 55108 SUBJECT: UPPER VILLA PARK INFILTRATION AND REUSE PROJECT 12-751 Dear CRWD Board of Managers: Sealed bids were received for the above-referenced project on Friday, April 24, 2015, at the Capitol Region Watershed District offices. A total of seven (7) bids were received. All bids have been reviewed and checked and are tabulated in the enclosed bid abstract. The bid abstract indicates how the bids compared with the Engineer’s Estimate of $887,100.00 for the work. The two apparent lowest bidder’s qualifications for this type of project have been received and reviewed. The lowest bidder is New Look Contracting of Rogers, Minnesota, with a base bid in the amount of $851,467.00. An Alternative Deduction to utilize an underground corrugated metal pipe storage system rather than an underground precast concrete storage system in the amount of $45,000 was also bid by New Look Contracting. The base bid is approximately 4 percent below the Engineer’s Estimate. After reviewing the bid documents and contractor qualifications, we recommend awarding the contract to the lowest bidder, New Look Contracting, in the amount of $851,467.00. Because New Look Contracting’s bid was below the Engineer’s Estimate, we recommend that the Alternative Deduction not be exercised at this time. Sincerely,

SRF CONSULTING GROUP, INC.

DATE: May 14, 2015 TO: CRWD Board of Managers FROM: Anna Eleria, Water Resource Project Manager RE: Approve Contract Amendment for Eustis Street Stormwater Improvement Feasibility Study

Background In late July 2014, CRWD’s Board of Managers approved Barr Engineering as the consultant for the Eustis Street Stormwater Improvement Feasibility Study in Lauderdale, MN. The goals of the study are to identify opportunities for implementing green infrastructure practices in both public and private (former Luther Seminary property) realm along Eustis Street and have construction coincide with Ramsey County’s 2015/2016 Eustis Street Project. The street work will include mill and overlay and construction of a new, 5-foot sidewalk on the east side of Eustis Street from Idaho Avenue south to the existing sidewalk. CRWD staff presented the preliminary concepts to the study partners including the private property owner, Aspen Waste Systems, in early February 2015. Issues In late April, CRWD staff met with the study partners to receive feedback on the preliminary concepts and discuss Ramsey County’s street improvement plans and construction schedule. We learned that the owner prefers to replace the concrete swales with pipes and is concerned about the volume of runoff being delivered to the swales from upstream areas. While the City of Lauderdale conducted H/H modeling of its subwatersheds nearly 10 years ago, they are coarse and missing key pieces of information including flood elevations of upstream stormwater ponds and identification of any deficiencies in the storm sewer system. The study partners are requesting that CRWD conduct subwatershed H/H modeling in the Saint Anthony subwatershed (labeled SA 1-4) which drains to the concrete swales. See enclosed map. Enclosed is the Barr letter summarizing a regional modeling effort in Lauderdale. The estimated cost for this work is $13,505. CRWD staff recommends the Board approve this expansion to the study’s scope for assisting the City and County in understanding local hydrology and in determining necessary modifications or improvements to the existing public drainage system including the stormwater ponds. Action Requested Approve a contract amendment for Barr Engineering for the Eustis Street Stormwater Improvement Feasibility Study at a cost not to exceed $13,505 and authorize Administrator to execute additional contract amendments in an amount not to exceed $3,000. encs: Barr Letter Dated May 7, 2015 and Lauderdale Storm Sewer System Map W:\06 Projects\Lauderdale\Eustis Street Stormwater Improvement Project\Board Memos\BM Eustis Street Study Contract Amendment 05-14-15.docx

Stormwater Improvement Feasibility Study (Eleria)

May 7, 2015 Ms. Anna Eleria Water Resource Project Manager Capitol Region Watershed District 1410 Energy Park Drive, Suite 4 St. Paul, MN 55108 Re: Eustis Street Regional Modeling Change Order Dear Ms. Eleria: The following is a description of the scope and budget required to perform regional modeling for the approximately 144 acres tributary to the open concrete swales along Eustis Street south of Idaho Avenue. All work covered by this scope of work will be charged on a time and materials basis and invoiced every month. Task 1: Data Compilation and Site Visit Barr will review watershed and stormsewer data provided by CRWD, Lauderdale, Falcon Heights and Ramsey County for the 144-acre watershed. Barr will develop a GIS database of all stormsewer information that will be imported into XP-SWMM H&H modeling software in Task 2. Two (2) Barr staff will perform a site inspection to review the configuration of the outlets for each pond. No survey is included in this task. The deliverable for this task is a map and GIS database of stormsewer information for the 165-acre watershed. No additional meetings beyond the site visit are included in this task. Task 2: Watershed Modeling and Technical Memo Barr will use the stormsewer information collected in Task 1 to create an XP-SWMM model of the existing conditions of the watershed. The model will delineate watersheds to catch basin clusters and storage areas. The model will be run for the 10- and 100-year, 24-hour storms using Atlas 14 precipitation values. The watershed will also be modeled using P8 to determine pollutant loads and the efficiency of the ponds in removing total suspended solids and total phosphorus. The deliverable will include:

Mapping showing the 10- and 100-year elevations of ponds, as well as any other major areas of flooding in the watershed

A technical memo describing the methodology used in the modeling effort as well as results of the existing conditions modeling, identifying locations of deficiencies in the stormsewer system

One round of edits with CRWD is included This task includes one (1) meeting at either CRWD’s or the City of Lauderdale’s offices, at a point in the project determined by CRWD. Schedule Assuming that Notice to Proceed is granted on May 21, the following is the proposed schedule:

RE: 2015 Fish Surveys: Como, Crosby and Little Crosby Lakes

Background

In 2014, the Managers reviewed the Enhanced Lake Biological Monitoring Work Plan, which included

initiating annual fisheries surveys on each CRWD lake (Como, McCarrons, Loeb, Crosby, Little

Crosby). The primary goal of this expanded monitoring is to enhance our understanding of how the

biological, chemical, and physical parameters of a lake interact to shape lake water quality to better

inform in-lake management decisions.

Subsequently, the District contracted with Wenck Associates, Inc. in August 2014 to conduct fish surveys

on Como and Little Crosby Lakes as part of the program’s expanded monitoring goals. This 2014

fisheries data is currently being incorporated into CRWD’s 2014 Lakes Report. Additionally, the 2014

data was provided to the DNR and is being used to better guide their fish population management

strategies (e.g. fish stocking).

Project Overview

CRWD has been developing plans to perform annual fisheries surveys on each District lake in 2015.

CRWD met with the DNR to discuss the proposed 2015 plans and they did not feel McCarrons on Loeb

needed annual fish surveys due to evidence of stable fish populations in these lakes. However, they did

recommend that fisheries surveys be replicated on Como, Crosby, and Little Crosby Lakes in 2015 in

order to capture annual variation in fish populations.

CRWD sought a proposal from Wenck Associates, Inc. that outlines tasks, schedule, and costs required

to perform fisheries surveys on Como, Crosby, and Little Crosby Lakes in 2015. The tasks and schedule

outlined in the 2015 proposal are similar to those performed in 2014 on Como and Little Crosby Lakes.

However, the costs in the 2015 proposal ($19,500) have been reduced in comparison to the 2014

proposal ($19,525), even though an additional lake has been added to the 2015 schedule. This was

achieved by reducing Wenck staff time and augmenting CRWD staff time instead. Also, equipment

purchased in 2014 (i.e. trap nets and gill nets) will be used again in 2015.

Requested Action

Approve Proposal for Fish Monitoring on Como, Crosby, and Little Crosby Lakes for an amount not to

exceed $19,500.

Trap net set in a Como Lake 2014

April 24th, 2015 Ms. Britta Suppes Monitoring Coordinator Capitol Region Watershed District 1410 Energy Park Drive, Suite 4 St. Paul, MN 55108 RE: Proposal for Fish Monitoring on Como, Crosby and Little Crosby Lakes Dear Britta: Wenck Associates, Inc. (Wenck) is pleased to present our proposal to conduct fish monitoring on Como, Crosby and Little Crosby Lakes in the Capitol Region Watershed District (CRWD). In 2014, Wenck was contracted by the CRWD to assist with lake fish surveys in two district lakes. Fish populations for lakes within the CRWD are routinely monitored by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The lakes are monitored on a rotational basis, both across the state and the CRWD, with a subset of lakes monitored each year. In 2014, the DNR monitored Loeb Lake, Crosby Lake and Lake McCarrons while Wenck was contracted to monitor Como Lake at Little Crosby Lake. For the 2015 field season CRWD has indicated they would again like to conduct fish monitoring efforts beyond those conducted by the DNR, to include three lakes Como Lake, Crosby Lake and Little Crosby Lake. Wenck will complete the fish monitoring in the three lakes identified by CRWD following the methods and tasks described below. Task 1: Field Preparation

Prior to conducting fish monitoring, private or public entities must obtain a survey permit from the DNR. Wenck obtained the required survey permit from the DNR for the 2014 sampling effort and will send in the proper document to obtain the 2015 survey permit for Como, Crosby and Little Crosby Lakes. Wenck will coordinate with CRWD to possibly acquire a multi-year fish survey permit from the DNR to cover 2015 and future monitoring years. In addition to the survey permit, field preparation will also include contacting the DNR to obtain their previous survey information for both lakes to obtain sample locations (if possible). In 2014 the survey locations for Como Lake were obtained from the DNR and sampling efforts were conducted

Ms. Britta Suppes Monitoring Coordinator Capitol Region Watershed District April 24, 2015

Deploying gill net in Como Lake 2014

at those same previously established locations. Little Crosby Lake had not been previously surveyed by the DNR so new locations were established in 2014. Crosby Lake has been previously surveyed by the DNR and Wenck will obtain the lake management plan and past survey locations from the DNR. As a result the 2015 sampling locations will follow the established DNR locations for Como and Crosby Lake and follow the locations established in 2014 for Little Crosby Lake. Wenck will also review previous catch results to review species that are likely to be collected in 2015. Wenck will prepare field maps with the established sample locations for each lake and provide them to CRWD and the DNR. Wenck will also conduct one half day of field reconnaissance with one CRWD staff to observe each lake, boat launch/access points and survey conditions prior to actual fish monitoring. Task 2: Fish Monitoring

DNR lake fish monitoring traditionally includes two survey methods: trap nets and gill nets. One net placed in one location left out to collect fish for one day is considered one net set. The total number of sample locations and net sets for a lake is dependent on basin size. Based on the DNR Lake Finder website Como Lake is listed as 68 acres in size and Crosby Lake is listed as 48 acres. Based on review of an aerial photograph Little Crosby Lake is approximately 12 acres. For lakes less than 100 acres the number of trap net sets is up to nine. For smaller lakes gill net sampling is not required. Gill nets can result in a high percent of mortality of fish collected, especially during warm summertime conditions. Discussions between the DNR and CRWD indicate that gill netting is appropriate within these lakes even though they are relatively small. As a result Wenck will conduct trap net and gill net surveys in all three lakes. The target will be to conduct fish monitoring over the course of six to eight field days depending on field conditions. There will be eight trap net sets and two gill net sets on both Como Lake and Crosby Lake. There will be four trap net sets and one gill net set on Little Crosby Lake. Assuming the half day of field reconnaissance of the lakes has been previously completed, the estimated schedule for field sampling will be conducted as follows:

Day 1: Set trap nets at four locations and a gill net at one location on Como Lake. Day 2: Collect and process fish from all four trap nets and the gill net on Como Lake.

Deploy trap nets at four new locations and a gill net at one new location. Day 3: Collect and process fish from all four trap nets and the gill net on Como Lake.

All nets removed. Como Lake survey complete. Day 4: Set trap nets at four locations and a gill net at one location on Crosby Lake. Day 5: Collect and process fish from all four trap nets and the gill net on Crosby

Lake. Deploy trap nets at four new locations and a gill net at one new location. Day 6: Collect and process fish from all four trap nets and the gill net on Crosby

Lake. All nets removed. Crosby Lake survey complete.

2 T:\1486 CRWD\00\Lake Fish Monitoring 2015\16APR2015 - Lake Fish Monitoring Proposal.docx


Day 7: Set trap nets at four locations and a gill net at one location on Little Crosby

Lake. Day 8: Collect and process fish from all four trap nets and the gill net in Little Crosby

Lake. All nets removed. Little Crosby Lake survey complete.

Wenck will use standard DNR trap nets with ¼ inch mesh on four foot by six foot double frame nets. All trap nets will be deployed and processed following approved DNR methods for fish monitoring. Nets are typically deployed with the lead line net anchored on shore with a stake or rebar. The frame and bag of the trap nets are then stretched out and deployed in water 4 to 8 feet deep and marked with buoy. Fish swimming along shore bump into the lead net and are directed into the frame and bag of the trap net. Wenck will use standard graduated-mesh experimental gill nets per DNR specifications, which include 250 foot long nets with five 50 foot panels of different mesh sizes. The gill nets will be set in water 8 to 15 feet deep, depending on lake conditions, following DNR established survey locations where possible. All fish from the trap nets and gill nets will be collected and placed into sample tubs to reduce fish mortality. Fish will then be identified, counted, weighed to the nearest 0.1 ounces, measured to the nearest 0.1 inches and released. Using these methods for collection and processing, fish trap sampling typically has very low mortality. Gill net sampling will result in some fish mortality. All expired fish collected from gill nets will be properly disposed of as directed by the DNR. All data will be recorded on field sheets or with a field log book, including habitat conditions such as water depth, substrate type and presence of aquatic vegetation. Field photos of fish species, habitat conditions and survey locations will also be recorded. Wenck will coordinate with CRWD field staff to determine if paired water quality samples should be collected from the lake the week that fish monitoring is completed. Task 3: Data Reporting

Wenck prepared a field report detailing the results of the fish monitoring in 2014. The 2014 report included summaries of field conditions, fish species collected, fish lengths and weights, field photos and a comparison of the 2014 results to previous DNR monitoring efforts. CRWD has indicated that in 2015 they would like Wenck to provide data summaries of the 2015 results, which will then be incorporated into an updated report by CRWD staff, following the initial report format. Wenck will compile and summarize the field data from the 2015 surveys for all three lakes and provide these data summaries to CRWD for district staff to utilize to prepare the 2015 field report. Wenck will submit the results of the 2015 fish monitoring to the DNR, which is required as part of the survey permit conditions. Optional Task – Near Shore Seining

Depending on lake conditions, trap nets may not always capture an accurate sample of some smaller fish in the lake, including problematic species such as fathead minnows. A near-shore survey for minnows or small bluegills is helpful in identifying the potential for interactions between the fish populations and lake water quality. Wenck proposes an optional task to team with Dr. Pat Ceas of St. Olaf University for near-shore seining at up to



four locations on each lake, which would be conducted in one to two field days using one Wenck staff, one CRWD staff and Dr. Ceas. Results would be included in the data summary. Costs for this optional task can be provided if requested. Cost Proposal

Below is a table outlining Wenck’s proposed cost to complete the tasks described above. Wenck proposes completing the project on a time and materials basis.

It is our understanding that CRWD would like to time the fish surveys in Como, Crosby and Little Crosby to coincide with the DNR fish surveys which are set for early August 2015. This matches the timing of the 2014 surveys as well as previous DNR survey efforts on these lakes. Wenck would conduct the field preparation and acquire the survey permit during July and plan to conduct monitoring the first two weeks of August, depending on field conditions. A field data summary will then be provided to CRWD by September 15th, 2015.

RE: Ford Site Redevelopment Update

Background

Ford's former Twin Cities Assembly Plant will be redeveloped in the coming years on more than 135 acres

of land situated along the Mississippi River. The City of St. Paul’s vision for the site is that it will be a

livable, mixed-use neighborhood that looks to the future with clean technologies and high quality design for

energy, buildings and infrastructure. At the May 6, 2015 Board meeting, the Mangers reviewed how the

stream corridor restoration opportunity at the Ford Site was identified and ranked in the 2010 WMP.

Issues

The Ford Site Redevelopment represents a tremendous opportunity to Bring Water Back to St. Paul. Clearly

defining the District’s Goal and Vision for stormwater and water features at the Ford Site will prove useful

for the City as they develop their Public Realm Plan for the site. Staff have drafted a Goal/Vision statement

for the Board to consider. Staff will review the draft statement with the Board.

Ford Site Water Resource Goal/Vision Statement

Goal/Vision: Bring Water Back to St. Paul by reestablishing Hidden Falls Creek on the Ford Site and

incorporating sustainable, green infrastructure throughout the site that cleans stormwater and provides

community amenities.

To achieve this goal, the following design objectives should be achieved:

1. Protect Hidden Falls Creek by achieving pre-settlement runoff rates.

2. Optimize stormwater management to maximize public value while preserving developable area.

3. Ensure baseflow delivery to Hidden Falls Creek.

4. Develop green infrastructure that is resilient to climate change.

5. Develop green infrastructure that is sustainable to maintain by both the private and public sector.

W:\06 Projects\Ford Site\2015 Stormwater Feasibility\Ford Site Goal Statement draft, 05-13-2015.docx

The ultimate goal of the Ford Site Sustainable Redevelopment Report is to establish performance thresholds for site redevelopment ... ... inspiring policy makers and developers to make this site a national model for sustainable brown-field redevelopment.

Sustainable redevelopment of the 135-acre Ford site is a high priority for the City, regional and state agencies, the Ford Site Planning citizen task force, and much of the public.
