Re: Public Hearing — Wellhead Protection Plan
Council Action Requested:
Council is requested to hold the Public Hearing on the revised Wellhead
Protection Plan. No other Council action is needed at this time. After the Public
Hearing, the Wellhead Protection Plan along with all comments received during
the 6o day comment period will be forwarded to the Minnesota Department of
Health for final review. Once the MDH approves the plan, Council will be asked
to formally adopt the plan.
Background Information:
Our Wellhead Protection Plan is a State mandate required to provide additional
protection to our ground water aquifer and municipal water supply. A Drinking
Water Supply Management Area (DWSMA) is delineated; identifying the area
where a spill on the ground surface would infiltrate into our water supply aquifer
and be pumped out of our municipal wells within a 10 year period. Emergency
Management Zones around each well are also identified, denoted a 1 year time of
travel zone.
The construction of our new well #8 in 2007 required a major amendment to our
Wellhead Protection Plan. The Minnesota Department of Health also required
expansion of our DWSMA to account for nitrate contamination from the
Vermillion River. As a result, our DWSlI-1_A now extends to south of Farmington.
Financial Impact: Unknown
Advisory Committee Discussion: None
Council Committee Discussion: None
