Capitol Region Watershed District Permit Application 13-034 Trout Brook Circle Signage
Permit Report 13-034 November 20, 2013 Board Meeting
Applicant: Tom Becken Applicant Contact: Alex Olin TCC Materials TCC Materials 2025 Centre Pointe Blvd. Suite 300 2025 Centre Point Blvd. Suite 300 Mendota Heights, MN 55120 Mendota Heights, MN 55120 Description: Sign Installation Stormwater Management: None District Rule: EWetland 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

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.
-
W:\07 Programs\Permitting\2013\13-036 Apex Auto\13-036 Permit_Review_01.doc Page 2 of 4
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 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 61,045 square feet. b. Volume retention: Volume Retention Required (cu. ft.) Volume Retention Provided (cu. ft.)
4,574 cf None, filtration is proposed.
c. Filtration is proposed due to poor soils and potential historic site contamination:
Volume Retention Required (cu. ft.) Volume Retention Provided (cu. ft.)5,945 cf Underground filter 11,681
cf
d. Banking of excess volume retention is not proposed. e. Filtration volume and facility size has not been calculated using the
appropriate hydrological soil group classification and design filtration rate.
f. The filtration area is capable of filtrating the required volume within 48 hours.
g. Stormwater runoff is not adequately pretreated to remove solids before discharging to infiltration areas, additional detail is required.
4. Best management practices achieve 90% total suspended solids removal on an annual basis.
5. A recordable executed maintenance agreement has not been submitted.
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.

Our Mission is to protect, manage and improve the water resources of Capitol Region Watershed District.
DATE: November 14, 2013 TO: CRWD Board of Managers FROM: Bob Fossum, Water Resource Project Manager RE: 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.

IV. Special Reports
A) Summary and Analysis of Water Quality Data from the Capitol Region Watershed Districts 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 CRWDs 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

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 CRWDs 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
CRWDs 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.

B) AR: Approve Contract Amendment #4 with Wench Associates Inc. for the Highland
Ravine Project (Eleria)
Ms. Eleria reviewed in early November 2012, CRWDs 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.

C) 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 Districts 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 Districts 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.

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 Districts Watershed Management Plan and annual work plan. The Program Manager coordinates the implementation of their Divisions area of responsibility within the Districts 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.

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 coverages 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 coverages (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 coverages. 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).

F) AR: Approve MAWD Resolution (Doneux)
Administrator Doneux and Board Members shared interest in improving the planning and communication from
Minnesota Association of Watershed Districts (MAWD) that helps support MAWDs 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 Associations legislative agenda. Individual Watershed Districts can fully support the Associations 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.

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 Pauls 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 propertys 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.

Our Mission is to protect, manage and improve the water resources of Capitol Region Watershed District.
DATE: November 13th
, 2013
TO: CRWD Board of Managers
FROM: Nate Zwonitzer, Urban BMP Specialist
RE: 2014 Special Grant Program Update
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 owners 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

DATE: November 14, 2013 TO: CRWD Board of Managers FROM: Anna Eleria, Water Resource Project Manager RE: 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 12x9 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.
