Re: Order Public Hearing -Wellhead Protection Plan, June 4, 2007
Council is requested to order a public hearing on the City's Wellhead Protection
Plan for the June 4, 2007 Council meeting. The Wellhead Protection Plan is a
management and public education plan required by the Minnesota Department of Health
to protect our Drinking Water Surface Management Area (DWSMA -pronounced
"dwizz-ma's. Our DWSMA is defined as the azea where a liquid spilled on the ground
surface will permeate down to our acquifer and be pumped into our water system within a
ten year period. The Hastings DWSMA covers about 2/3 of our City, with a number of
areas classified as very vulnerable, making our Wellhead Protection Plan complicated. A
map showing the City's DWSMA is enclosed.
