met in this area. B�11-Locke has classes that will meet those needs. She said that we need to
work together to offer these programs to meet the needs of the community.

in support of this project. With respect to money, the City's budget is very tight. The Lion's
Club may help with showing community support. Letters from pazents and kids may also help.

OF AGREEMENT WITH THE MPCA FOR SPRINGBROOK WATERSHED
IMPLEMENTATION PROJECT PHASE II CWP GRANT FUNDING:
Councilmember Wolfe asked what would happen once the money Fridley budgeted for three
years was spent. He asked if the other cities would help with future maintenance. -
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that there are some programs that would help retain the water in
those communities after the three yeazs is up. That would be their responsibility.
Councilmember Wolfe stated that the weirs in the Nature Center will need to be maintained and
he was wondering if the other cities would help pay for that.
Mr. Burns stated that the weirs and maintenance would be our responsibility.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that there would be a water quality issue whether we had a
nature center or not.
Councilmember Wolfe stated that this piece of property is quite expensive.
Mr. Burns stated that one of the reasons this is happening now is because of the funding
available at the present time.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that this is a separate issue from the Nature Center. It is a water
quality issue. She said the City does have some legal obligation to take care of this. However,
part of the reason for the water quality issue is from other communities around us that send their
water rushing down to us.
Mr. Burns stated that this was a major accomplishment to get the other cities to accept this
responsibility. �
Mayor Pro Tem Barnette asked if this would address sewer, vegetation, holding ponds, and other
things.
Mr. Haukaas, Public Works Director, stated that the first step is to iclentify what can be done to
improve water quality and quantity. This is just a small portion of the Springbrook Watershed.

SUBJECT• Hazardous Home at 975 Hathaway
On May 17, 2002, staff accompanied an Anoka County Health Officer to the site of 975
Hathaway. Earlier in the week, City staff investigated an allegation that the home was
open to vermin. While on site, staff heard what sounded like water running inside the
home. After confirming with the Utility Department that no water was running through
the meter, staff contacted the owner. The owner is extremely ill and his sister was
assigned power of attorney to handle the owner's personal affairs. She was a very
cooperative contact and allowed entry into the home for inspection.
Once inside, Dan Disrude, Anoka County Public Health determined that the mold inside
the home was so bad that there would be no salvageable portion of the home to retrofit.
Apparently, a waterline broke in the home and approximately 16 inches of water covered
the basement floor. Furniture was floating in the lower level of the home. Mr. Disrude
indicated that this home could best be described as North Grand Forks, without the flood.
Because the [apparent] break was before the meter, there was no water usage flag
indicating a problem. Mold spores were evident throughout every portion of the structure.
In accordance with the law, options were given to the homeowner. They have the options
of: 1) presenting an expert opinion that contradicts the Health Officials deternunation. If
the expert opinion indicates that there is a fix for a portion of the home, they must
provide certification of expertise in this area and a reasonable schedule for restoration; 2)
Presenting a reasonable schedule for completion of all demolition work, to be submitted
and approved by the City prior to commencement; 3) Appeal to tk�e City through the
statutory process outlined under the Hazardous Building provisions of state law.
The property owner's representative has indicated that the owner is interested in bringing
the property into compliance and also, they may demolish the structure prior to the public
hearing. However, there has been no contact with City staff since May 17, 2002. At this

point, the party is aware of the options and the fact that the City will hold a public
hearing to consider a resolution to begin a Court ordered demolition process.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council set a public hearing for June 24, 2002, to consider a
resolution officially deeming the property at 975 Hathaway as hazardous and authorizin�
staff to commence with legal process toward demolition. Staff also recommends that in
the final resolution, Council authorize simultaneous legal action at Anoka County to
allow clean up and assessments of the costs to the property.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 3, 2002
CfTY OF
FRIDLEY
TO: William W. Burns, City Manager���
FROM: David Sallman, Director of Public Safety
DATE: May 29, 2002
DATE: Tobacco Compliance Appeal
On March 19, 2002 Fridley Police conducted a tobacco compliance check of licensees in the City.
An employee of The Billiard's Street Cafe sold cigarettes to a juvenile employed by the Police
Department for the purpose of the compliance check. The Billiazd's Street Cafe requested a hearing
and on April 17, 2002, Hearing Officer James Hoeft, Attorney at Law, conducted it. The owner of
The Billiard's Street Cafe agreed to the facts of the case. The owner, Greg Asproth, raised concerns
over the ordinance, the State legislature, and the Police Department's enforcement of the ordinance.
The Hearing Officer found that the business was in violation of the ordinance and that the $500 civil
penalty must be paid to the City or face possible suspension of the tobacco license.
Mr. Asproth has paid the $250 fine for the employee that sold the cigarettes. Mr. Asproth has
requested an appeal before the City Council of the "decision and fmdings of fact" as is provided for
in Chapter 12.08(d) of the City Code. The appeal is supposed to take place at the next City Council
Meeting following the appeal request, which would have been May 20, but Mr. Asproth requested to
be present and was not available on that date. At his request, the appeal was moved to the June 3,
2002, Council meeting.
I have attached copies of the material (Hearing Officer's Decision, police report, appeal request,
etc.). Please let me know if you have questions regarding this issue.

On 03!19!02 at 1�00 hours, we began checking businesses for tobacco compliance. At 1700 hours, we arrived at the abo�
location and both ANE & C:�fA entered the business in an attempt to purchase a pack of cigarettes. ANE & CMA exited th
same business a few� minutes later and ANE was holding a pack of Marlboro Red cigarettes. I asked ANE about the incident an
she explained that the employee never asked about her age, however he asked to see her identification. The employee the
handed the cigarettes to her and gave her some change for the cash tendered.
.�NE described the employee as a male w�earing a"Nike" shirt and a white ball cap. I entered the business and saw the suspe�
piaying pool. 1 identified myself as a Fridley Police Officer and explained the situation. I identified the suspecdemployee :
�fario Velasco Parayno JR with his MN. photo driver's license. I explained that the City of Fridley would contact him regardin
the sale. I gave Parayno a copy of the Fridley City Code Chapter 12.
Parayno said he is the cook and he was only trying to the help the employee at the front counter. Parayno said he looked at th
person's (ANE) identification, however thought it was alright to sell cigarettes to her.
I placed the cigarettes into e�•idence.

EXPLANATION
Incident Report, Case No. J02-55742 was reviewed by each party for factual accuracy.
Each party acknowledged the Report as factually accurate, and the same is adopted herein as the
factual basis for the violation.
Mr. Asproth testified that Mr. Parayno is currently an employee of Billiard Street Cafe,
and was so employed on the date in question. Mr. Asproth further presented testimony as to his
displeasure with the City, its Ordinance on tobacco sales, the State Legislature, and the Police
Department's enforcement of the Ordinance. He expressed the opinion that there was no way he
could insure that his employees would not sell to minors. This Hearing Officer expressed
disagreement, and informed Mr. Asproth that if his business did not sell tobacco products, he
could be assured that no sales would occur to minors.
This Hearing Officer further advised Mr. Asproth that whatever his training entailed with
regard to sale of tobacco products, it was most certainly deficient. That is evidenced by the
following facts:
��
(1) Of 32 businesses checked, only two businesses sold tobacco products to minors;
(2) Billiard Street Cafe had had a prior violation (albeit outside of the prior 12 month
period).
This is the sole violation for this business within the past 12 months.

AGENDA ITEM
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 3, 2002

William Burns, City Manager �� �
Scott Hickok, Community Development Director
Paul Bolin, Plannuig Coordinator
Julie Jones, Environmental Planner
Springbrook Watershed Implementation Project Work Plan
Background
In the fall of 2000, the Fridley City Council, along with the City Councils of the other t�u�ee cities involved in
the Springbrook Watershed project, reviewed a plan to restore the wetlands at Springbrook Nature
Center. That Implementation Plan, which was the result of a Phase I Clean Water Parniership (CWP) grant
project, has now been fully funded. The Ciry of Fridley's grant agreement for a Phase II CWP grant
project has now been approved by the MPCA, and we are ready to begin the project.
The first step in the Phase II project is to draft a Work Plan, which is a more detailed version of the
Implementation Plan created at the end of the Phase I Investigation. There have been not significant
changes to the projects originally planned in the Phase I Final Report. Staffhas prepazed a draft Work
Plan, which will be reviewed by the Advisory Committee for the Springbrook Project, tentatively on June
6. Our MPCA Project Manager is also currently reviewing the draft plan.
In October 2000, when all four cities participating in the project were requested to partner with Fridley to
fund a Phase II grant proposal, the City of Coon Rapids agreed to fund the project. However, they added
a statement to their authorizing resolution requesting that each city involved in the project have an
opportunity to review the project plans before work is begun. Staff is therefore, taking the attached Work
Plan to each of the four City Councils (Blaine, Coon Rapids, Fridley, and Spring Lake Park) to satisfy
Coon Rapid's request. All subsequent decisions related to project work will be ovetseen by the Advisory
Committee for the project. There aze several Fridley representatives on the Advisory Committee.
Recommendation
There is no action the Fridley Ciry Council is required to take to approve the Springbrook Watershed
Phase II Implementation Plan. However, it is suggested that the City Council pass a motion, giving staff
authorization to proceed with the project according to the attached draft Work Plan.

SPRINGBROOK PHASE II INII'LEMENTATION PROJECT WORK PLAN - 5/31/02 DRAFT
STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS AND EXISTING CONDITIONS
In 1996, the City of Fridley received a dean Water Parmership grant from the NI'innesota Pollution Control
Agency. The City of Fridley had applied for the grant on behalf of the Six Cities Watershed Management
Organization over concems about the wetlands in its largest city park, the Springbrook Natiue Center. The
Spnngbrook wetlands, which became the p�vjectre.rource under study, filter and detain storm water from 85%
of the land area in the Springbrook Creek Subwatexshed, which is one of sis wateisheds the Six C'iries
Watershed Management Organization oversees.
The problem in the wetlands was that it was believed that about 90% of the emergent vegetation in the
wetlands had died out over the previous ten years. No one could e�lain the loss, so it was difficult for the
Nature Center staff to deternune how to begin attempu to restore the vegetation, which is critical for
waterfowl habitat and treating storm water going downstream into the M�ssissippi River.
Over a period of three years, this project studied the hydrology and biology of the ponds in the Springbrook
Nature Center.
Study of the Springbrook wetland's biology looked at plants and bugs for signs of what was happening in the
ecology of the wetland Rating systems were used that had been designed to show a measure of wetland
health. It is believed that the healthier a wetland is, the better wildlife habitat is provides. Sampling of
invertebrates in the Springbrook wetlands showed that conditions rated on the lugh end of the "poo�'' scale.
An analysis of the wetland vegetation showed moderate conditions. This meant that there was still some
variety to the vegetation existing in the wetlands. A varied amount of species equals better w�dlife habitat
The biological analysis showed Springbrook to be a declining wetland, but not beyond a point where
restoration would be difficult.
The hydrologvc analysis of the wateished studied both the gu�ty and the qsrantrty of storm water coming into
the Nature Center ponds. It was determined tl�at there was not anything chemically wrong with the guulrr'y of
the water coming into the Nauue Center that would be reason to cause sudden loss of plants. C�emical
readings for the most part showed a typical urban watershed. However, the total suspended solid and
phosphorus readings from storm water coming into the Nature Center on the east end of the pazk were
extremely high during certain storm events. This site is the one that drains part of Norrhtown and the
portion of the Cities of Spring Lake Park and Fridley that are located in the Springbrook Creek Subwatershed.
Sediments tested show urban pollutant levels similar to other urban wetlands. However, ele�nts such as
phasphorus, nitrogen, chloride, and nickel seem especially elevated. Such chemical concentrauons suggest
that more storm water ponding is needed upstream.
The water gsra/:'ty monitoring at the inlet coming into the east end of the park at the Springbrook Apartments
showed whythis site had high chemical readings. Storm water was shown to be coming into this site at a
rapid rate. Since there was little to no detention upst�azn, water levels bounced up quickly and receded
qiuckly during even minor storm events.
The other major inlet into the Nature Center ponds at the northwest comer of the park was bringing
significant volurnes of water, but the hydrographs showed that upstream ponds in Coon Rapids were
funcuoning to slow the speed of the water down. The flow data shows that the ponds drain quite qwckkly,
however, so detention usually only lasts a few hours.

SPRINGBROOK PHASE II IMPLEMENTATION PROJECT WORK PLAN - 5/31/02 DRAFT
Several ovetland experts were consulted and agreed that cattails have been unable to germinate from seed
much since the installation of the ow]et weir and the practice of not removing stop logs betw�en storm
events. This practice sustained water levels between storm evenu. It was concluded that water levels need to
recede more than what current conditions permit between storm events if seeds are to be allowed to
germinate.
Hydrograplu showed that it was tal�ng about two days to drain the water from a major storm event through
the Springbrook wetlands. This is good for preventing downstream flooding, but bad for vegetation.
Experts advise that the levels of water level bounce found in the Springbrook wetlands are too long for
cattails to thrive. Even though wetland vegetation needs fluctuation water levels, it cannot witUstand
sustained high water levels for long or frequent high water leve]s.
The conclusion was that modifications need to be made to the Springbrook Subwate�hed thaz reduce the
frequency and length of high water levels in the Springbrook wetlands �f vegetation is to survive. It was a]so
detemiined that additional preparations need to be made to create conditions where wetland plants can
occasionally gerininate.
STATEMENT OF PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIOES
The overall main goal is to restore and protect the Springbrook Nature Center wetland ecosystem The
measurement of success will be a 66:33 emergent plandopen water balance. Currentlythere are 19 acres of
open water, and the goal is to increase new emergent plant growth by at least 12 acres. It is anticipated that
by unproving habitat conditions, wildlife diveisity will increase.
The objectives for reaching this goal are:
Objective # 1: Restore vegetauon within the Springbrook Nature Center wetlands.
Objective # 2: Reduce storm water flows and irnprove water quality into the Nature Center wetland
complex.
Objective # 3: Modify water flows into and within the Nature Center to increase storm water inf�ltration
and reduce emsion.
Overall Resource Goa1s
. Restore and protect the wetland ecosystem .
. Create a 66:33 emergent plant/open water balance.
. Increase new emergent plant growth by at least 12 acres.
. Improve habitat conditions, which should cause wildlife diveisity to in�rease.

SPRINGBROOK PHASE II IMPLEMENTATION PROJECT WORK PLAN - 5/31/02 DRAFT
Hydredogic Goals
The goal of the Springbrook Implementation Project u to reduce storm water runoff rates in the Springbrook
Wateished to 19881evels, the last decade when the emeigent vegetation was present in sigpificant am,�u�s.
Since 1989 over 130 acres of impervious surface has been added to the wate�hed, which represenu a 10%
increase. The equivalent of a 10% reduction in volume of runoff is therefore, the goaL
Water Quality Goals
Besides the hydrologic goal to reduce the quantity of storm water iunoff, it is also a goal that a 10% reduction
in storm water iunoff will result in a 10% reduction or more in chemical loading in the storm water nuioff
entering the Springbrook wetlands at Site 1, 2 and 3. This will include a 10% reduction in nitrogen,
phosphonas, and total suspended solids. Besides physical changes in the direction of storm water ninoff
unplemented by the municipalities involved, educauonal efforts w�l be designed to result in fiuther chemical
loading reductions through changes implemented by individual property owneis.
It is also a goal to reduce the amount of sediments entering the wetland, if possible. Again, educational efforts
with municipal officials will be aimed at unplementing new or different city faci7ity management practices that
may help reduce the level of sedimenu entering storm drains in the Springbrook Wateished
Biologic Goals
Bird Banding
Bird banding wi71 continue to occur on the third Sunday of the month as it has since May 1988. Ahhoug,h this
does not include waterfowl, several of the netting locations are ne� to the wetlands. This provides some
insight into the changing species of biids in the Nature Center.
The goal will be to see species such as yellow headed blackbinds and American Woodcock retum to the park
once vegetation is restored to the wetlands. It is expected, however, that the retum of these species w�l not
occur unt� some time frar� after completion of this i�len�ntation project.
Amphibian Survcy
Using the method developed bythe Marsh Monitoring Program, frog and toad populations w�l contim�e to
be monitored by staff and volunteers. It is a goal of this implementation project to see the renun of chonu
frogs to the wetland. This species was commonly found in the park when significant amounu of emergent
plants existed in the wetlands, but have not been heard since 1997.
Macroiavertebrate Sampling
If voluntee� are available, it is planned to repeat the invertebrate sampling that was completed in the Phase I
Springbrook Resotu�ce Investigation. This will not occur unt� the ]ater part of Phase II to allow for changes
to occur as a result in the storm water flow changes. The goal of the Phase II project will be to see some
improvement in wetland health visible in the invertebrate samples. Springbrook's score in 1998 was 15 and
was 11 in 1999.

SPRINGBROOK PHASE II INII'LEMENTATION PROJECT WORK PLAN - 5/31/02 DRAFT
Vegetation Sutvey
Besides the overall acreage of wetland vegetation, wetland health will also be monitored acco�ing to a
method established in the DNR's Natural Heritage Program Three individual vegetation plots were
established in 1999 for comparison monitoring of individual plant species gmups. It is the goal of this project
that the diversity of species in these three plots will improve following storm water quantiry and quality
improvements in the Springbrook Watershed.
Education Goals
The ultimate education goal of this project is for every propeny owner in the Springbrook Wate�shed to be
provided educational materiaLs that clearly demonstrate that they m essence own "nverfront" propeny. The
theme of all educational effotts wi71 build upon the public's interest in protecting the natural habitat and
beauty of the Springbrook Wetlands. There will also be emphasis on improving the quality of storm water
iunoff entering the M�ssissippi River from the Springbrook Wate�hed as a means to protect drinking water
quality for one-quarter of the population of the State of Muinesota's inhabitants. It is anticipated that
education about the location of water intake valves for the Mnueapolis and S� Paul water supply in Fridley
w�l make property owner realize the importance of the cleanliness of storm water runoff from their property.
Additional educational goals include reaching an understanding with the four city officials involved in this
project that there are public propeny management practices that need to be changed to fiuther protect our
waterways - like Springbrook Creek Officials have typically only considered flooding issues related to the
Mississippi River, but our goal is for them to start considering water qualiry impacts as well.
PLANNED PROJECTS
The following projects were specif'�ed in the Springbrook Watershed Phase I Resource Investigation Final
Report's Implementation Plan. They are numbered to relate to the three objectives listed at the beginning of
the previous section. One project has been eli�unated from the original plan since it has already been
completed and a few othexs have been modified due to some work already completed.
Objective L• Restore vegetation within the Springbrook Nature Center wetlands.
Project Ll Drawdown of Wetlaad (Part A& B)
Sustained water levels have been maintained during non-storm event times since the installation of
weus in the wetland complex in 1988. This management plan was based upon advice from wetland
specialists with the Nlinnesota Department of Natlual Resources on how to best sustain aquatic
vegetation. This plan did not anncipate signif`icantly increasing storm event water level bounces and
increasing water turbidity. It appears that increased water level bounces and turbidity creates the
need for occasional water level drawdowns to allow seed germination because of unsuccessful
sprouting from rhizomes.
The abundance of natural springs and a large wate�shed draining to the mzin wetland complex create
conclitions in which there have been no natural drawdowns of a suff'icient length to allow for
redevelopment of emergents. It is recommended that water levels in the mush be managed to
aitif'icially create the drawdown affect. Because of the possible negative effects on park usage and
7
32
SPRINGBROOK PHASE II IMPLEMENTATION PROJECT WORK PLAN - 5/31/02 DRAFT
unl�owns about the natural seedbank in the wetland complex, a two-part approach is planned for
the wetland drawdown.
Part A w�l include a paitial drawdown of the wetland water levels. This would expose the outer
fringes of the wetland complex and promote gertrunation of emergent vegetation. Cattail seeds
should germinate in mudflat conditions all suminer long, but May and June, when temperatures az�e
cooler are considered primary gemunation times. It may be possible to accomplish the 6b:33
planrJopen water ratio goal through a partial drawrlown that would expose significant portions, but
not all of the pond bottom An experiment with a partizal drawdown is expected to take as long as
three yeacs, dependent upon weather conditions.
A seedbank assay has shown little seedbank available in the wetland. Seed is lils�ely buxied after y�a:s
of large volumes of silt coming into the wetland complex. There is a possibilitythat dredging and
expasing deeper areas of the ponds may expose some viable natural seedbank areas, however there is
agreement that the potential for seedbank renovation will be minimal. Collection of seed on and off
site byvolunteeis from preferable species of p]ants will be pursued as an ine�cpensivelysolution. The
collected seeds can then be applied, using volunteers.
Lowering the water leve]s even slightly, however, will likely affect the floating boardwall�s, one of
which is part of a handicapped accessible tra�7. Even a paival drawdown may require some
adjustmenu to the boardwalks to �et ADA grade standards. Since the accessible boazdwalk and
tra� were installed with federal funds, this tra� must always remain accessible. City staff w�uld also
monitor the drawdown closely and deternune whether or not it poses a dangerous situation for park
users attempting to use the long boardwalk acrass the main wetland pond. All attempts will be made
to keep the main boardwalk safely accessible. This may require strategically placing boards under the
floats to keep the boardwalk level as it settles. Some of the floau will likely be damaged and require
repair or replacement. If the boardwalk is unsafe to access for a short period of dme, access to the
boardwalk will need to be blocked Educational signage, explaining why the appearance of the park
(and possible trail changes) is changing, will be needed.
If part A is successful in regenerating significant emergent plant growth, Part B, which entat�s a m,ore
e�nensive complete drawdown on the wetland may not need to be completed.
If Pact A is unsuccessful in regenerating signif�icant emergent plant growth, a continuation of the
unplementation project w�l be pursued and additional grant fiznds will be requested so that Pait B
can be implemented.
Part B would entail a complete drawdown that would be accomplished by removing all four stop logs
(32-inches) to allow for complete drawdown over one or more summer seasons. It would a]so
involve planting vegetative plugs and the application of seed. Most w�tland species should be spaced
one to t6ree feet This equates to approximately 11,000 plugs per acre. A mixnire of seven species
of forbs and nine species of grasses, sedges and nuhes would cost approximately $6,000/acre. For
ten acres of restoration, the total cost of materials is expected to run approximately $76,000. Labor
to install these materials may vary gready depending on the stability of the substrate after lowering
water levels. Planting plugs w�71 be very difficult if the substrate is soft and unable to support the
weight of a person. A conservative estimate for labor is $120,000. Volunteers would be solicited
from each of the four com�,,,�nmPs, as we1L
33
SPRINGBROOK PHASE II IMI'LEMENTATION PROJECT WORK PLAN - 5/31/02 DRAFT
Part B would also include disuibution of additional wetland plant seeds or rhizomes. Wetland seed
applied at 18 pounds/acre broadcast with frve species of forbs and seven species of gxasses, sedges
and rushes would cost approxi��ately $1,600/acre.
Because the main boardwalk will be inaccessible for a long time under plans for Part B, access to the
west end of the park would require installation of a new trail along an existing berm This would
necessitate the consuvction of two bridges - one over the outlet diuh and one over the Stony Brook
overflow ditch. The ciries would complete as much of this structut-al work as possible with city staff
and equip�nt. CWI' grant funds will not be used for cash expenses of any suuctural improvements,
however, other funding sotu�ces will be applied to stnictural improvement cash costs.
The water levels would be raised following re-establishment of emergent vegetation and the
boardwalk would then be accessible. However, current scientific infom�ation mdicates that periodic
drawdowns will likely need to reoccur every iive years to redevelop and maintain the emergent �h
comuiunity even if significant flow reducnons are achieved through upstream inf'�ltration. Part A of
the wetland drawdown project will enable the cities to determine if a new west tra� and bridge system
is a necessary improvement to the park in o�ier to allow access during times of drawdown.

of the Springbrook Nature Center and provide storm water storage capacity that w71 prevent
flooding downstream from the Nature Center in Fridley.
The purpose of the management plan will be to maintain the 6633 emergent vegetauon/open water
coverage ratio proposed in this plan. However, this wi71 be feasible only if there are reductions in
storm water bounce levels. Ideas that will need to be investigated in the plan w�l include:
• Following an initial draw down of the wetland and successful gemiination of emeigent
vegetation, how often should successive drawdowns occur?
• Should the depths of the two upstream pond areas be adjusted during storm evenu? If so,
how can the weus be redesigued to make this task easier?
• Should boards in the outlet weir be removed and replaced following storm events to allow
the depth of the main pond to drain down more quicklyto reduce the effects of storm water
bounce on the wetland vegetation. Since response to storms mtut occur within 2-3 hours of
the event, staffing possib�ities after hours need to be considered Hc�w can we prevent
downstream flooding? How do we prevent upstream flooding?
• Determine an adequate silt removal schedule for each sediment delta location.
• How should the outlet weir be modified to facilitate water level managemen�� Modifications
to the weir could be incorporated into the constnu:tion of the bridge over the owlet.

Objective 2: Reduce storm water flows and improve storm water qualiry into the Springbrook Nature
Center wetland complex.
Pmject 2.1 Stormwater System Inspection and Maintenance Plan
Cxurently there is no policy or plan in p]ace for periodic inspection of the various ditches, ponds, and
control stivcttues in the Springbrook Subwatershed. During Advisory Committee tours of both
public and private ponds near the Nanue Center in the spring/summer of 2000, it was apparent that
there are problems resulting from ]ack of maintenance. A plan needs to be in place to specify the
m;n;*rn,n► annual stormwater system inspection and maintenance requirements of the Six �ities
Watershed Management Organization. This should include a deta�ed description of the key
10
35
SPRINGBROOK PHASE II IMPLEMENTATION PROJECT WORK PLAN - 5/31/02 DRAFT
components of the storm water management system that must be inspected, the frequency of
inspections, items to doc�nt during inspections and how to report the findings. It should also
identify maintenance thresholds to ensure that water is flowing or is detained as the system is
designed to function. This plan needs to be in place to ensure that both public and private entities in
the subwatershed understand their responsibility in maintainiug their part of the storm water
management system and are held accountable to the Six Cities Watexshed Management Organiz.ation.
Cxumntly, each Caty is responsible for the control struct�ues located in their community. The
continuance of this method of accountability is questionable and needs to be evaluated.
Each of the cities tbat are part of the SG�MO are required to have ordinances that pmvide for the
management of storm water. The ordinances in p]ace regarding storm water management at the
cities of Blaine, Coon Rapids, Fridley, and Spring Lake Park need to be evaluated to ensure that they
are meeting the necessarystorm water management requirements.
A detailed inspection and maintenance plan would require the aid of a qualif'ied engineering firm
The review of ciry storm water management ordinances and maintenance plans could be completed
with C'ity staf£ Maintenance of the system is the responsibility of the cities.

the storage capacity of pond by lowering the average water level, and 2) allow water to flow through
the other Springbrook Apartment ponds and eventually discharge to monitoring site # 6.
Springbrook Apartmenu is considering installation of vegetative buffers along son�e of the pond
edges as an effort to discourage geese from using the area.
Now that these modifications have been made at Springbrook Apartmenu, the outlet of Pond 3,
which is located inside the Nature Center needs to have a diffiuer added to it to create a broader area
of infiltration of this storm �vater into the southeast comer of the pazk
Another opponuniry to increase stormwater storage capacity in subwatershed 3 is to expand the
pond that serves the Northtown Metro Bus Depot Park n-Ride. The pond could be expanded by
approximately one acre and likely provide three acre-feet or more of temporary storage.

Project 23 Improve Coon Rapid's Regional Ponds
A site visit on July 10, 2000, the moming after a heavy rain storm, showed the Technical Committee
that signif'icant erosion and suvct�ue overflow was occurring at the wooden control structure
upstream of Site 1 on the noith side of 85�h Avenue. There appeaxs to be an opportunityto incxease
the detention capacity of the three ponds consuucted in 1995 by the City of Coon Rapids.
Review of the ponds as constivcted, showed that they were already close to normal water levels less
than 24 hours after the stoxm, indicating that more storage would be passible. Longer detention
would also be necessary in order to provide increased sih and chemical removaL A detailed hydraulic
and hydrology study is needed to determine if additional storage capacity is passible under existing

Project 24 Identify and Iaitiate Iafihration Opportunities
This project has a goal of reducing runoff rates to 19881evels, the last decade when the emergem
vegetation was present in signif'icant amounu. Since 1989 over 130 acres of impervious surface has
been added to the wateished, which represenu a 10% increase. The equivalent of a 10% reducrion in
volume of runoff is therefore, the goaL The addition of 54 acre-feet of sto�ge will accommodate all
of the runoff from a 5" precipitation event from 130 acres of icnpervious surface. This can be done
through infiltration or extended detention or both. Specific detention or infiluation opponunities
must be inventoried. The inventory must include topographic data to allow for hytirologic and
hydraulic analysis. In addition to an inventory, a deta�ed hydraulic and hydrology study is needed to
design the necessary fac�7ities with consideration of locaxion wirhin the watexshed, e�sting and
proposed infrastructure and topographic elewation. Subwatersheds 1 and 3 are the highest prioray
for inventory and implementauon. Although, additional pond storage oppommities appear feasible
as noted previously, the limited size of these ponds w�l provide only a small portion of the desired
storage increase. Therefore, methods of infiltration will need to be part of the solution.

SPRINGBROOK PHASE II INII'LEMENTATION PROJECT WORR PLAN - 5/31/02 DRAFT
There currently is no storm water detention system at Northtown Shopping Center other than a.36
acre detention pond at 85�b and Unive�ity Avenue, which was consuucted in 1997 to savsfy cuaent
ponding require�nts in the C'ity of Blaine related to impervious surface expansion due to
consul,u,�tion of the Metro Bus Depot Park I�Ride. Two thirds of the land area of the Northtown
Shopping Center drains directly into the Springbrook Nature Center at Site 3 without any retention.
The other thini drains into Site 1.
Since Site 3 is the location of extreme fluctiiating water levels during storm events, it is imperative to
pursue retention possibilities at Northtown, which is the largest single source of ungervious surface
in the Site 3 subwateished that does not have ponding. It may also be beneficial to re-route
additional nuioff through the Coon Rapids regional ponds to monitoring site 1.
The feasibility of various storm water retention or re-routing options will be analyLed to determine
the most cost effective approach. A feasibiliry study explonng these options will be prepared by a
qualified engineering consultant.

Project 3.1 Stabilize Site 3 Channel
The stream that exists between monitoring Inlet Site 3 and the Main Wetland Complex is currently
downcutting. The downcutting becomes more severe as it gets closer to the Site 3 Inlet It has been
concluded that the downcutting occumng at the stream has lowered the unconfined water table of
the adjacent shrub swamp contributing to iu uansition to mesic forest communiry. WWth the
downcutting the site is functioning m+ore as a floodplain system with fewer saturation events. In
addition the stream has taken on ditch characteristics with a scope and affect that draws the
groundwater down to lower levels to reduce the time of saturation at the surface. An additional
13
:
SPRINGBROOK PHASE II IMI'LEMENTATION PROJECT WORK PLAN - 5/31/02 DRAFT
problem that is occurring from the unnatural erosion at this stream section is sedimentation
downstreazn in the main wetland complex where the velocities of the water slow down at the open
water and allow sediment to settle out.
There are differing opinions as to what is the most effective solution to this erosion problem, but
widespread agreement that it needs to be corrected in order for if other projecrs to be viable.
Treatment options that have been discussed include re-meandering the channel, installing check
dams, armonug the channel, and abandoning the channel completely to promote diffuse flow and
infiltration. A detailed topographic survey is needed to determine whi�ch approach would be most
effective. A geomoiphologvc analysis of the stream also needs to be done. Knowledge of ground
water flows both before and after modifications to the stream are also necessary. It is expected that
the investigative and design work of this project can be included in Part A of Phase II, but the act�ial
modifications to the Site 3 cha.nnel should not be completed until other upstream detention effoits
are complete.

open one so that water from run off, streams, and rivers moves in and out during the course of a
year. This resuhs in conditions where the ground water is near the surface to 1" deep seasonally
(Redington, 1994). This site has shown indications of succession to a mesic forest cominunitywith
the occurrence of box elder, elm, and green ash. These trees are more characteristic of a site wi�h
temporary spring flooding or saturation rather then peisistent saturation throughout thegrowing
season. This �s mdicauve of a significant change in the ground water flows in this area of the park.
One possible way to bring more ground water into the area is to re-route some of the water from the
north Wal-Mart storm water pond. It is anticipated that tivs can be done by installing a series of
small pipes through the berm on the west side of the pond to promote diffuse flow throug,h the
shrub wetland The berm had originally been biult to prevent flooding into the Nature Center during
high water events but apparendyhad the unintended consequence of reducing the contribiuing
watershed of the wetland. The groundwater data and topographic information gathered for project
3.1 will be used to design this project.

PROjECT ORGANIZATION AND RESPONSIBILITY
Project Sponsot
The Project Sponsor is the City of Fridley, which will continue to serve as the lead agenry for contracts and
finances as it did in Phase I. A grant management fund has been established for the Spnngbrook
Implementation Project.
Pmject Represeatative
Julie Jones, Environn�ental Planner for the C''ity of Fridley, w�l continue to serve as the Project Representative
for the Phase II project, as she did in Phase I.
Advisory Committee
The Advisory Committee established for the Phase I Investigation will be used as the lead group of
individuals to oveisee the Phase II Implementation Project. A few of the meinbeis have changed due to
staffing or leade�ship changes at some of the organizations involved, but most membexs will remain
unchanged, offering continuity to the project. Members of the Advisory Committee are listed in Table 1.
15
. �
SPRINGBROOK PHASE II IMPLEMENTATION PROJECT WORK PLAN - 5/31/02 DRAFT
The membe�s represent the four cities in the watershed, SG'WMO, businesses in the area, non profit gnoups,
agencies, and interested individuals. If other interested patties are identified, they wi71 be added to the
Committee.
The tasks of the Advisory Committee will include:
• Pmvide local leadeiship
• Assist in the development of the Work Plan
• Develop consensus on project goals, and gain political acceptance of project objectives
• Provide the Techn.ical Committee with any feedback needed to direct monitoring activities
• Oveisee activities of the Educate Subcommittee
• Review data and ask questions of the Technical Subcommittee
• Oversee findings of Wetland Management Plan Subcommittee
� Ove�ee findings of the Watexshed Management Plan Subcommittee
• Oversee completion of an Implementation Plan according to budget
• Help Technical Committee write and present issues in an understandable format
• Identify opponunities for their organization(s) to meet its obligations set forth in the Implementation
Plan for the Phase II project
When technical assistance is required, the Advisory Committee will utilize the l�owledge and expertise of the
Technical Committee.
Technical Committee
In addition to an Advisory Committee, the Technical Committee �mbers originally established for the
Resotu�ce Investigation Project will be asked to meet again if necessary. The purpose of this committee is to
provide technical support to the project. The Technical Committee will provide the information necessaryto
assist the Advisory Committee ensure that the project plans will result in the desired results as far as the water
quality and flow reduction goals of the Work Plan. Since not all of the Advisory Committee membexs have a
technical background, the Technical Committee will be relied upon for technical analysis of the project (e.g.
monitoring plan, implementation options).
It is anticipated in Phase II, however, that will likely rely upon the membership of the Technical Committee
to serve on smaller subcommittees specific to a certain task, such as developing the Wetland Management
Plan. Additional technical ezcperts beyond the committee list w�l be sought if necessaryto prov�le expertise
in a ceitain area lacking in the commmee membership. Also, to streamline the number of ineerings reqwted
of the Technical Comm+t*Pe Ciiair will l�ely be asked to attend Advisory Committee meetings to be able to
provide feedback between the two committees.
The current membeiship of the Technical Committee is listed in Table 2. There are representatives from a
variety of backgrounds on the Committee, including private, non-profrt, and government positions re]ated to
water quality issues.
The tasks of the Technical Committee may include:
• Provide Advisory Committee with suggestions and recommendations for developing preliminary

The Education Subcommittee will also be re-established for the Phase II project. These individuals inchide a
representative from each of the four cities, as well as the Northtown Mall, Springbrook Nature Center, Anoka
Conservation District, and the MPCA. The membe�hip to this subcominittee is listed in Table 3. 'Thu
subcommittee will be responsible for carrying out the information and education plans for the project under
the direction of the Project Representative and the Advisory Committee.
Throughout the project, it is anticipated that other subcommittees of the Advisory Comrnittee and Technical
Comcnittee membezs will be established to oversee specif'ic project tasks. It is planned that a subcoinmittee
will be established to develop the Wetland Management Plan and the Watershed Inspection and Maintenance
Plan.
IDENTIFICATION AND SUMMARY OF PROGRAM ELEMENTS
Pmgram Element L• Development of Work Plan
Development of the work plan w11 be coordinated between the City of Fridley Project Representative, Juli�e
Jones, and the NIPCA Project Manager. Due to the need to get the project started qwckly, and due to the facc
that it has been a year and a half since we originally presented this project ideas to the City Counc�s, it has
been agreed that the draft Work Plan w�l be presented to the �ty Council's of each of the four cities
involved to ensure that they continue to support the plans for the project as laid forth in the Implementation
Plan thax they agreed to fund in October 2002. There has been so� management and Council representation
changes due to elections over the past two y�ars, so we want to make sure everyone is current with the
project plans.
The work plan w�l be completed in June, 2002. Modifications w71 be made to the work plan as necessaryto
ensure successful complet�on of the project. The Advisory Committee will also be involved in reviewing the
draft Work Plan before it goes to City Council.
Pmgr.�m Element Z: Planaing aud Implemeating Storm Water Flow Reductions
The fust step in the Springbrook Implementauon Project will be to hire an engineering consultant to prepare
suitable options for the Advisory Committee to consider for storm water infiltration and detention options in
the Site 3 Subwatershed. A consuhant will also be hired by the C''ity of Coon Rapids (part of their inkind
contributions) to analyze options for expanding the capacity of existing storm water detention ponds in the
Site 1 Subwatexshed.
Once recommendations are made for physical improvemenu in the watershed, and all parties involved agree
on a project to complete, then an engineer consultant will be hired to design the unprove�nu.
Once the work is underway to reduce storm water flows in the Site 1 and 3 Subwatersheds, further study and
design work will begin to fmd ways to recharge the Springbrook wetland area in the northeast part of the
park A geomorphologic analysis of the Site 3 channel and a detailed topographic survey needs to be
completed in order to detemune possible design options for the Site 3 channel and to design a plan for
recharging the wetland area in the northeast end of the Nature Center. An analysis of ground water flows is
aLso planned.

SPRINGBROOK PHASE II IMPLEMENTATION PROJECT WORK PLAN - 5/31/02 DRAFT
Upon investigating options, the Site 1 and 3 channe]s will be stab�7ized, using the best options determined for
reducing impact to the Springbrook wetlands.
Another project that involves physical changes in the watershed is the expaasion of the existing storm water
pond that was constriuted a few yEars ago to meet the drainage needs of the MNDOT Park and Ride site at
Northtown Mall. There is room to e�and the pond and funding set aside in the project to complete this task
The City of Coon Rapids will also be studying the feasibility of expanding the existing regional pond system
just north of the Springbrook Nanzre Center. This series of three ponds drain into monitoring Site 1 and
overflow into monitoruig Site 2. If it is determined that those ponds need to be expanded, the cost of those
improvemenu may need to be covered in and extension of the Phase II project, depending on the anticipated
cost.
Pmgram Elemeat 3: Wetland Management Plan/Drawdown
In order to begin the wetland drawdown experiment, a subcommittee of technical experts in wetland
, hydrology and biology will be created to develop a plan for the initial wetland drawdown and a long term plan
as we1L Siah St. Clair, Director of the Springbrook Nature Center, will lead this team and oversee the wetland
drawdown. This plan w�l be presented to the Advisory Committee when it is complete prior to
commencement of the initial drawdown.
Mr. St. C7air will also oveisee low tech efforts to promote reseeding of existing species of wet]and plants,
using volunteers and students when possible. This will involve collecting desired wettand plant species seeds
and spreading them at the appropriate time for successful germination.
The control of invasive and exotic plant species w�71 involve continuance of an P�;trt� grant project to
reduce purple loosestrife populations with beetles. Siah St. C9air will oveisee this ongoing progr� that
involves the use of volunteeis. The program has already reduced the level of purple loosestrife invasion
significantly.
Pmgram Element 4: Monitoring
Water quality and quantity monitoring will occur from September 2002 to at least August 2004. Monitoring
may go on beyond this time frune, depending on the timing of physical changes to the watershed as part of
this project. At m;,,;T„um, tw�o of the inlets into the wetland will be monitored again for post-consuuction
data assessment. These two sites are:
■ Site 1, which is the main northwest inlet, draining mast of the portion of the watershed located in the
City of Blaine and all parts of the C�ity of Coon Rapids that in the Springbrook Wateished.
■ Site 3, which is the main east inlet, draining a Spring Lake Park residential area and the south half of
Northtown MaIL
Additional sites may be added to the Monitoring Plan if preliminary data shows it is necessary.
The same type of equipment that was used in the Phase I Investigation will be used again. This equipment
inchided a pressure transducer, a C3� 10 datalogger, and an ISCO automatic sampler at each station.
The purpose of the Phase II monitoring will be to determine if any changes in storm water runoff quantity or
quality can be detected post-constniction after the installation of each individual constnu:tion project in the
watexshed Testing of each change separately wi71 be icnportant to leam which techniques were most effective
in desired flow reductions and chemical load reducaons.

Pmgram Elemeat 5: Information and Education
The Education Subconunittee that was created in the Phase I CWP project, under the leadership of the
Project Representative, will carry out the information and education p]ans laid forth for in the Phase I
Implementauon Plan. These plans include workshops, videos, direct ma�7ings, displays and passible ordinance
amendments. See the Information and Education section later in the Work Plan.
In addition to the planned activities, the Project Representative wi71 also continue to putsue oppomwities to
keep this project in the public's eye through local media oudets.
Pmgram Element 6: Devebpment of Wate:shed Maaagement Plan
In the later stages of the Phase II project, a subcommittee of the Advisory and Technical Committees w71 be
created to develop a storm water system inspection and maintenance plan for the Springbrook Watershed
Czurently, there is no fonnalized inspection plan in place in the Six Clties WMO to hold each city accountable
for tnaiutaining storm water conuol suucttues located in their communiry. However, it is the policy of the Six
Cities WMO that each city is financially responsible for maintalIIing systems located in their city. An

Finance Department to maintain fmancial accounting in the C'it�s grant management fund, supervise clerical
duties, and complete all repons as required for the various grant sources.
progrdm Elemeat 8: Final Report and Analysis
It is anticipated that a final repoxt w71 be required at the end of the Springbrook Watershed Implementation
Project to provide feedback to the various agencies financing the pro�ect. This report w�l be comp�ed in a
format designed to meet all reporting require�nts of each of the agencies. It w�l be reviewed and released
by the pro�ect's Advisory Committee members once they have approved it's contenu. The Final Report w11
be disuibuted to all committee members and the elected officials of each of the four cities.

MONITORING AND MODELING PLAN
Monitoriag
In order to analyze the changes made to the flow of storm water and potential impact to the chemical content
of storm water entering the Springbrook wetlands, stream monitoring will take place at Site 1 and 3. These are
the two main inlets that were nwmtored during the Phase I invesugauon. Monitoring stations w71 be
established in the same locations as in Phase I.
Since a temporary technical assistant will not be hired for the Phase II project, it is anticipated that the �ty of
Fridley will contract with a qualif'�ed agency, such as the Anoka Conservation District, to conduct the
monitoring. If possible, sampling equip�nt will be borrowed from the MPCA, as was done in the Phase I
investigation.
Monitoring equipment will include a pressure transducer, a QZ 10 datalogger, and an ISCO automatic
sampler at each station. This is the equipment used in Phase I.
In order to measure any possible storm water changes as a result of Spring Lake Park's street reconstn�ction
project, it is planned to attempt to get set up a monrtoring station at the Site 3 inlet by September 1, 2002, the
date the street project is expected to be complete. The purpose of the fall installation wi71 be to get some
additional baseline data before additional changes are installed in the Site 3 Subwate�shed later in the fall -
probably late October. Successful monitoring will be difficult during this time of the year where rainfall is
scarce. However, it will be important to detemune if there are any changes in storm water flow rates and
chemical or sediment loading as a result of street curb installation in the residenrial area of Spring Lake Park
located in the Site 3 subwateished before other pmject constnution takes place.
Monitoring equipment will be remain in place overwinter 2002-03, if possible. Equipment that needs to be
removed for weather or security reasons, will be reinstalled as soon as the spring 2003 weather permits. The
automatic sampling equipment will monitor flows on a continuous basis from Apn12003 through June 2003
or until at least eight rain storrns of varying rainfall amounts are recorded. Average stage w�l be recorded in
15-minute intervals. The continuous flow data w71 be checked monthly.
The same procedums will occur during the 2004 rainfall season. Monitoring may continue into the 2005
season, depending on the date of consuvction of storm water flow modifications made in the Site 1 and 3
Subwatersheds.
Stormwater sampling will be uiggered based upon a change of 0.05 feet or more within a one-half hour
interval and w�71 be collected at discrete time intexva]s over the hydrograph Once storms are complete, the
stage data will be downloaded, graphed, and related to the discrete samples collected. Stormwater samples will
only be tested only for phosphonu, nitrogen, and total suspended solids - the main problems discovered in
the Phase I Invesugation.
Since Anoka Conservation District is already contracting with Braun Intertec, the laboratory we used in the
Phase I investigation, we do not anticipate soliciting laboratory proposals. It is anticipated that we w�71 use
Braun Intertec, which w�l save staff transportanon costs in delivenng lab samples and will provicie
consistency with the Phase I data collection and analysis methods. We already have a Quality Assurance
Project Plan established with Braun Intertec, which is attached to this plan as Appendix 1.
23

SPRINGBROOK PHASE II IMPLEMENTATION PROJECT WORK PLAN - 5/31/02 DRAFT
Modeling
Once the data is collected, hydrographs will be created to compare to the data collecced in the Phase I
investigation for monitoring Site 1 and 3. Results will be included in a Final Report on the Phase II project.
Cliemical testing spreadsheets will also be created to compare to the water qualitytest resuhs analyled m the
Phase I investigation.
INFORMATION AND EDUCATION PLAN
It is the education commitment of this project to inform each propeny owner in che Springbrook Wateished
that they in essence own "riverfront" propeny. It is also a comr„+rr►,Pnt of the Phase II pro�ect to inform each
property owner in the wateished of their potential personal 'unpact on the Springbrook Wetlands. Most
people m the area are familiar of the Springbrook Nature Center and feel an obligation to protect it. The
educational efforts of Phase II will build on people's interest in this natural resource that is a benefrt to their
propeny values.
All educational effons will attempt to address these key elements:
• Where their storm water gces
• How the amount of impervious surface on a propenytranslates into storm water runoff
• What peisona]/business activities affect the quality of storm water iunoff
� How poor storm water quality affects natural resouc�ces like the Springbrook Nature Center
ponds
A subcommittee of the Advisory Committee (see Table 3) will oversee the various educational efforts
planned These projects include:
Free low unpact lawn care workshops for the public that wuuld promote a reduced use of
lawn fertilizers and chemicals. The four ciries involved in this pmject will promote
participation in these workshops that will be conducted by the Anoka County/U of M
Extension Service. The cost of the workshops would include the cost of promotion (�f any,
as the cities have many means of coa� �n��ating to the public at no additional cost in caty
newsletters and cable tv), refreshments, and handouts. The workshops will also be video
taped for later airing on each of the four city's local cable television station.
Pazacipation by City staff and elected officials of all four cixies in the Project NEMO
progxanz as an effort to promote low impact lawn and street maintenance on city
properties.
Direct mail piece(s) addressed to each propeny owner in the Springbrook Watexshed,
designed to educate the public about the fact that they own "riverfront" property. Ma�ed
information will address storm water issues in the wate�hed and show propercy owners
some practical things they can do to protect the Springbrook Wetlands.
Evaluation of each of the four cit�s ordinances regarding minunalizing storm water runoff
impacts to the Springbrook Wetlands and the M�ss�ssippi River. This could include
proposing changes addressing a variety of issues such as 1) road ditch mowing bans, 2)
implementation of shoreline management ordinances in all four cities that would prevent
mowing closer than 20' to water edge on ponds, lakes, streams and wetlands, 3) allowances
for native landscaping as oppased to standard rurf around storm water detention ponds.
24
. •
SPRINGBROOK PHASE II IMPLEMENTATION PROJECT WORK PLAN - 5/31/02 DRAFT
Creation of additional educational videos for airing on cable television in all four
COmTrnirntl2S. In addition to the above topics, short programs could also focus on
educating people about redirecang downspouts onto landscape areas, what storm water
ponds do, and proper methods for washing yr�ur car at home. These videos would be able
to be produced by C'ity staff at no cash expense.
More signage at the Springbrook Nature Center to compliment the signage installed with
the Phase I project about the important fiuiction of natural wetlands. Users of the park wi11
need to be infor�d as to avhythe water levels are low during times of drawdown. The
storm water education effort will take advantage of the large numbexs of uail useis in the
Natum Center that are advocates for the environment and are usually already self-motivated
to "do the right thing". It is anticipated that two more signs will be installed along the main
trails of the park
Continue to pucsue options for using a traveling display at public events in the four-city
region that was created in Phase I. Updates will be made to the display as the project
progresses.
Presentation of the "Hou�s the Water?" game at the Natural Resources Field Trip
organized annually by the Anoka Couaty/Univeisity of Minuesota Extension office and
held traditionally at the Springbrook Nature Center, which is an opponunity to educate
1,000-1,500 foutth and fifth gradeis about storm water runoff each May.
As the project progresses, the Education Subcommittee may make additional project idea proposals to the
full Advisory Committee.
BUDGETS
There are multiple sources of funding for the Springbrook Watershed Implementation Project. Four different
cities committed $298,649 in cash and inlflnd dollais in the fall of 2000. The Six C''ities Watexshed
Management Organization also commm'Pd $6,400 cash for educational efforts. In December, 2001, the �ity
of Fridley was awarded a$75,000 M�ssissippi River Environmental Grant from the McKnight Foundatian.
Also, in December, 2001, the City of Fridley was awarded a MetroEnvironment Partnership Grant from the
Metropolitan CounciL The Metropolitan Counca7 has also indicated that they will allow the C"ity of Fridley to
use $6,574 in unspent NIlVRRA grant funds for educational efforts in the Springbrook Project.
In addition to these cash and inlflnd commitments, the project has also received inl�nd "staff assistance"
commiunents from the Northtown Mall for $1,500 and the Anoka Conservation District for $1,650. The.ne
are also many other volunteexs that will be providing inkind contn�butions to the project through meering
attendance and physical work on so� of the project,components. All of the mauhing funds for this project
are non-state or federal monies. A Project Support Budget is listed as Table 4 in the attachments.
The City representatives decided last year to split tivs implementation project into two pazts — Part A and Part
B. The reason for the split in the project was that there were uncenzinties whether all of the work originally
mapped out for the restoration of the wetlands would necessarily have to be done. It is possible that simply
drawing down the wetlands and hand-spreading seeds mayresult in satisfactoryplant germination and re-
growth. If these low tech wetland restoration methods were successfu], manyprojected restoration costs
would be unnecessary, but upstream storm �water systems needed to be modif'�ed first to determine the level
of success with lower-cost wetland restoration techniques.

SPRINGBROOK PHASE II IMI'LEMENTATION PROJECT WORR PLAN - 5/31/02 DRAFT
Therefore, Part A includes the upstream modification work and the wetland drawdown method of
restoration. A Pmject Outlay Budget for Part A can be found in Table 5. Part B inchuies m�re extensive
wetland restoration of planting plugs. The Praject Outlay Budget for Pazt B can be found in Table 6. Part
B also includes some stream stabilization that cannot be done until further topography and ground water
monitoring is completed Local match funding is being set aside from the four czty cash and inlflnd
comT,,;rT„Pnts should the project be extended at a later date to include Part B. It is anricipated that th�e �ity of
Fridley will be applying for add'u.ional wetland restoration funds from the DNR or so� other appropnate
soiu�e to help finance the Part B costs. The C'ity of Fridley also anticipates application for additional CWP
grant funds to complete Part B at a]ater date, depending on the projected casu following the findings fnom
compleuon of Pazt A
An Itemized Pmgram Outlay Budget for Part A is included in Table 7. This budget is categorized by
program element and is fiuther detaled accon�ing to contributors and the type of funding - either inl�nd or
cash. The budget meets the requirement that at least 60% of local matching funds are from non state or non
federal sources, because 100% of the matching funds are derived from local propeny tax contribudons.

Subject:Amendment to MNRRA Grant Agreement
Background
In 1999, the City of Fridley received a$10,000 Mississippi National River and Recreation Area (NINRRA)
Local Funding Assistance grant. The purpose of the grant was to assist the City in developing a Critical Area
Plan for the part of Fridley in the Mississippi River corridor. Metropolitan Council has overseen this National
Park Service project, so the City had an agreement with the Metropolitan Council.
All of the work proposed by the City was completed last fall, however, $6,574 in funding was left unused.
Knowing that the City of Fridley needed cash match dollars for the Springbrook Watershed project, which
impacts the Mississippi River Critical Area, staff requested an extension and reallocation of the remaining
NIlVRR.A fiznds to the Springbrook Clean Water Partnership Project. We received a letter from the
Metropolitan Council last October indicating that we could use the unspent MNRRA grant funds on the
Springbrook Watershed Project. However, it has taken several months of negotiations with the
Metropolitan Council staff to develop and acceptable amendment draft.
The attached amendment to the original grant agreement will allow staff to obtain reimbuisement for some
of the educational expenses related to the Springbrook Project. Reallocation of these grant funds helped
the City obtain the MCPA girant funds we needed for the Springbrook Watershed Implementation Project
since we listed them as matching cash funds in our grant request.
Recommendation �
Staff recommends that the Fridley City Council approve the attached amendment to our MNRRA Local
Funding Assistance Agreement, authorizing the City Manager to execute the amendment.

Subject: Springbrook Watershed Implementation Project Engineering Services Contract
Background �
In order to move forward with the Springbrook Watershed project, Fridley staff has solicited proposals for
engineering consultant service for a particular component of the grant project. This component is studying
the east inlet subwatershed to determine viable options for storm water infiltration and treatment. The reason
why we are moving ahead so quickly on this particular piece of the project is because we have $75,000 in
McKnight grant funds for construction of storm water management improvements in this part of the
watershed, which must be spent by February of 2003. In order to design and construct improvements before
winter, we need to begin studying our option in June.
We received proposals from three of the eight engineering consultant firms to which we sent a
request for proposal. We received proposals from the following firms:
■ Bonestroo $34,848
■ WSB
■ SEH
$46,558
$45,000 (plus $5,000 contingency)
Despite the fact that Bonestroo's proposal contained the lowest price, they proposed spending significantly
less hours than the other two firms and did not propose to conduct complete modeling of the subwatershed,
which is one of the key tasks in this project. After a thorough review and interview process, staff is
recommending that the City of Fridley contract with WSB & Associates, Inc. for engineering services. The
interview panel unanimously agreed that WSB as the top candidate for the following reasons:
■ WSB proposed to use the most qualified staff for the job and proposed to dedicate the most hours to
the job. Most of the modeling would be done by a Professional Engineer, whereas other firms had less
experienced and less qualified people dedicated to that very important part of the project.
■ WSB has the most experience of all three fiims, siting work on 16 other similaz projects, including
experience developing a habitat management plan, strong hydrological slcills, and experience working
with MnDOT (even getting MnDOT to pay some of the costs). Their work in the City of Richfield's
Wood Lake Nature Center was very impressive. The Richfield staff reported that WSB did an
excellent job and was very attentive to the needs of the City.
■ WSB appeared to be very conscientious of the fact that we have a limited budget for project work and
that they would not propose something that was outside of our constiuction budget. They had
lmowledge of the grant funding limitations that we are dealing with and indicated they would be able
to help us secure more grant funding, if needed.
61
■ WSB was the only firm that mentioned that they would need to be aware of well water indexes, be
sensitive to pernutting issues, and be realistic about the soil conditions we are working in, showing a
great depth in lrnowledge.
■ WSB was the only fum that said their final report would not only give us some valid LID optians, but
would also explain why some other options would not work.
■ WSB was the only company that mentioned they could also conduct monitoring for us in other aspects
of the project if we needed them to.
■ WSB provided a very detailed explanation of how they would conduct the modeling for each proposed
construcrion oprion and proved in their explanation that they would be using the correct software for
the job. �
■ In addition to a thorough presentation, WSB also shared some storm water management information l
that they have compiled for the City of Rosemount that was quite impressive. •
WSB's proposed fees aze within the $50,000 budget established in the draft Work Plan for the Springbrook
Implementation Project.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached agreement with WSB & Associates for
engineering services related to the Springbrook Watershed Phase II Implementation Project, authorizing the
City Manager to execute the agreement.

C.1 PROJECT �L�r:�GE�IErT
To complete each of the stated objectives for the Springbrook Watershed Implementarion
project, WSB proposes the following scope of services:
This task consists ot management, administrarion, project coordinarion, and
cammunication to complete the Springbrook Watershed Implementation project. To
provide the City of Fridley with posirive assurance that the work effort associated with
this project is clearly detined, staffed, budgeted, and managed, a number of project
management tasks are outlined below. These tasks will ensure that the project will run
smoothly and the lines of communicarion between WSB and the City will be clear and
direct.
�t the onset of the project, a meetin� will be held during which rime members of
`VSB's project team will meet with the City Staff to review the work plan. Future
progress update meerings will also be scheduled with the staff at this rime. We
anricipate at least four meetings during the development of the draft plan.
The number one priority for WSB will be to maintain clear communicarion with the
City Staff throughout the project so that the Ciry's and the Nature Centers needs and
desires can be thoroughly addressed.
C.2 D:�T� COLLECTION
This portion of the scope of work consists of gathering relevant water resource related
iniormation for the Springbrook Watershed, including the following:
• Available background mapping for the project area.
• Metropolitan Council digital ortho photogaphs.
• City of Fridley 2000 digital color aerial photography.
• Previous water quality monitoring results completed from 1998 and 1999.
• The implementation plan for the Springbrook Watershed project.
• City of Fridley Comprehensive Storm Water vlanagement Plan.
• City of Spring Lake Park Comprehensive Storm Water l�ianagement Plan.
• County well index for Anoka County. ,
• Available �IPCA STORET water quality data for the project area.
• All previous water quanrity studies or flow monitoring studies completed within the

� Information collected in the previous tasks will be reviewed and alternatives will be
based on the findings presented in these previous reports. In an effort to evaluate the
� reasonableness and effectiveness of alternarives presented and to ensure that each of the
alternari�es meet the goals of the project. The foilowin? analysis of the Springbrook
Watershed will be completed:
C.3.1 HY�ROLOGIC/HYDRr1LILIC �IODfiLI�i �'G
Hydrologic model of the watershed tributary to the Springbrook Nature Center's
east side will be developed. This is necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of the
alternatives presented and to gain an understanding of the hydraulics tributary to
the Springbrook Nature Center. This hydraulic modeling will consist of the
follo�vin;
- TR 20 based hydrologic/hydraulic model will be developed for areas
tributary to the Springbrook Nature Center east side to assist in
deternuning hydrologicihydraulic desi� parameters.
- Recommendarions will be made for new ponding, infiltration basins, or
rain gardens. New storm water ponds will be sized to achieve a
minimum 10% reduction in storm water runoff volume or peak rates to
the Nature Center Wetlands.
- The hydrologic/hydraulic model will be developed to simulate the 2, 10,
and 100-year storm events.
- Exisring wetlands and natural storage areas will be utilized for storm
water storage where possible. The effects of storm water on these
wetlands will be evaluated.
- Recommendations will be developed concerning the need for changes to
the esisting storm sewer system and the need for additional storm sewer
construcrion where appropriate. A GIS based map will be provided
showing the subwatershed delinearions in conformance with the model.
This storm water map will include an inventory of the existing storm
sewer connecrions and directions of storm flow in site 3 subwatershed.
C.32 W'ATER QUALTTY �iODELING
To determine the effectiveness of proposed improvement alternarives, it is
proposed that a water quality model be developed for the area tributary to the
Exhibit C Pa�e 2 of � F.•IWPWMCLIE.V7IFRIDLEY!exh-cdac

Springbrook Nature Center east side wetlands. This water quality model will
include the elements on the following page.
-� review and summary of the z�cisting water quality information
collecced for areas tributary to the east side of Springbrook vature
Center.
-A P3 water quality model will be developed to assist in predicrin;
ongoin� source runoff pollutant loadings from areas within the
Springbrook Nature Center Watershed. This model will be used to
analyze the capabilities of the e:cisring faciliries to remove pollutants
from storm water runoff and to evaluate the anticipated increase in -
pollutant removal of proposed alternarives. ..
C.�! DE`�LOPVIENT OF SPR�iGBROOK �V�TERSHED ��LEI�IENTaTION
PL�.r
Within 4� days of the notice to proceed, WSB & Associates will present to the Ciry of
Fridley for review and discussion a preliminary draft of the Springbrook Watershed
Impiementarion project. This draft report will include the following components.
C.4.1 EXECUTIVE SVi�tNf?�RY
An executive summary will be prepared which wiil discuss the problems
associated with storm water runoff entering the Springbrook Nature Center and
summarize the findinas and recommendarions outlined within the report. This
esecutive summary may be used by City Staff to incorporate into the City
Council agenda to brin� them up to date on the status of this project.
C.�.2 INTRODUCTION
The introduction of the report will include a discussion of the problems which
have occurred in the wetlands in and around Springbrook Nature Center. This
introduction will also describe the processes which have been completed to date,
which jusrify the implementarion of the components outlined within this
Springbrook Watershed Implementarion Plan.
C.4.3 PROCEDURES AND METHODS
This portion of the report will include a discussion on the procedures and
methods followed for development of the TR 20 Hydrologic/Hydraulic and P8
Water Quality Models, as well as the procedures used in analyzing and
developing each of the alternarives presented within the report. In the procedures
and methods followed, it is important to discuss the goals of the overall project to
reduce runoff volumes by 10% and to reduce the inflow of storm water ntnoff
pollution into the Springbrook Nature Center. ,
