During periods of moderate to heavy rainfall stormwater from thousands of rainleaders overtax the sanitary sewer system contributing to basement backups and the dischazge of raw,untreated sewage directly ' into the Mississippi River. To conect this problem,the City of Saint Paul has implemented its Rainleader Disconnect Plan with an objective of removing 95% of the connected rainleaders from the sanitary sewer system by December 31, 1987. , There are about 5,000 homes owned by persons with low incomes that have rainleaders connected to the sanitary sewer. Because the cost of disconnecting � rainleaders on a typical house by a contractor generally ranges from $100.00 to $150.00,this expenditure would be a hardship for those homeowners. Recognizing this, the Residential Rainleader Assistance Program (RRAP) was developed. � Under this ro ram the cit will hire ualified unem lo ed r on in 'n P p g , y q p y pe s s Sai t aul to disconnect rainleaders on homes owned or occupied by persons with low to moderate � incomes. Persons hired for this program will receive salaries from state and federal work programs. Tools,materials, and vehicles will be funded from a$50,000.00 ' Communiry Development Block grant. The Public Works Department will provide a program supervisor and any needed on-the-job training. Properties having their ramleaders disconnected under this program will not be eligible for the $40.00 rebate � under the current Rainleader Disconnect Program because the rebate is an incentive to offset the disconnection costs to the property owner and those assisted by this program will not have those expenses. Instead,the funds will be recycled back � into the program. , � ' 1 � , 1 ' � �" �� i � 1 Rainleader Disconnection Criteriac , After a homeowner is determined to be eligible for a rainleader disconnection under the RRAP program,the property will be reviewed by a field investigator. The review � will be initially done by a Sewer Division employee. As the requests grow in number, it is proposed that individuals from the MN Employment&Economic Development (MEED)program will be trained to do the review under the supervision of the ' program supervisor. The review of the property shall consist of the following: � 1. Are there an otential draina e roblems? YP g P 2. Can the disconnection be done without redoing the gutters or other major work? ' 3. What type of materials aze needed to complete the work? 4. What is the cost of the materials(should be under$100.00) , If the disconnection work has the potential of creating damage to the property or to adjacent property, or if the materials for the work will cost more than$100.00 or ' consists of gutter work,the application shall be returned to the program supervisor. The supervisor will review it and if he concurs,the property will not be included in this program, although it is possible that a partial rainleader disconnect�on could be ' done. If the property satisfies the above listed criteria,the homeowner shall be consulted as to the type of disconnection he or she wants. The types of disconnection are described on the next page. This information will be relayed to the foreman for � completion. ' � ' ' , ' , 2 ' ��Z-/�� ' RAi N LEADER DISCON N ECT OPTION S � 1 1 1 1 1 STANDARD WITH SPLASH BLOCK ' .

' • Application is checked to make sure it is complete— if yes,then if no, then ' -verify income -either call the applicant or -enter data into computer send the form back - send print-out to Program Supervisor ' When the work is done and inspected: • We receive a list from the program supervisor. ` • Enter"completed"into computer program. • Transfer funds from rebates to RRAP program for each house disconnected. (sewer service fund transfer to RRAP) , , Procedure to Schedule Work � • The program supervisor receives a list of homes to be disconnected. • Estimator visits the property and determines what should be done and the materials needed. � • Work is scheduled perhaps by neighborhood to minimize travel time between jobs. • Work crews do the disconnection. � • Work is inspected. • A list of homes disconnected is sent to the Sewer Division for processing. ' Program Promotion 1 A key element in the success of this program is the ability to adequately inform people ' of its availability.To accomplish this,the program will be promoted in the following ways: � • Public Service Announcements on radio and television • Press Releases to all local newspapers • Posting program flyers at senior citizen and commumty centers ' • Posting program flyers at welfare and public housing offices • Inclusion of promotional materials with future mailings to all connected homes ' 4 ' � ��'-�7�` � Method to Organize RRAP Crews ' Crews will be provided by and paid for through PED Job Creation(1V�ED and Summer Youth Programs). Jacqui Shoholm and the program supervisor(from Sewer ' Division)will interview and select workers and foremen. We will begin the program with 2 crews consisting of 4 workers. As the program gets underway,additional crews may be hired if the response warrants it. , Training will be the responsibiliry of the program supervisor It will be"on-the job" training and will include instruction on the proper way to disconnect the rainleader, / what to look for in terms of drainage,what to do in case of unusual problems, safety practices and the importance of projecting a positive image of the City. , After a house has been disconnected,it will be the responsibility of the foreman to inspect the work to make sure it was done correctly. ' The program supervisor may fire a worker that was hired under PED Job Creation for failing to report for work,unsadsfactory performance or other good cause. � RRAP Organizational Chart 1 ' Sewer Division� Manager � Program PED Supervisor Job Creation ' ' Foreman ' ' Crew Crew Crew Crew Chief Chief Chief Chief ' Worker Worker Worker Worker ' S ' �7- ��. � ' Financing Plan , There is a$50,000.00 Community Development Block Grant available to get the program underway(see the last page of this report). The grant's project summary � states"... This program will provide partial reimbursement to homeowners and landlords who disconnect their rainleaders from the sanitary sewer system. Single family units must be low/mod,and multi-family units must be occupied by at least 51% ' low/mod income persons." The CDB grant will be used to purchase tools, supplies, and rental of vehicles. Once 1 the program gets underway, monies from the Sewer Service Fund that were eannazked for rebates (for those homes disconnected under the RRAP program)will be transfered back into the program. This will allow the maximum number of , qualified homes to be disconnected. Salaries for the foremen, crew chiefs and workers will be paid by PED Job Creation , through Minnesota Employment and Economic Development(MEED)and the Summer Youth Program. The salary of the program supervisor will charged to the Sewer Service Fund. ' Anticipated Timetable 1 ' January 30, 1987: RRAP final draft is complete and program is implemented.

' ' 6 ' � ��''��/ %j� ' � Important Risks, Assumptions, and Problems ' Liability ' The City of Saint Paul is open to liability from three azeas: workers injuring themselves or others,property damage from careless work habits or improper disconnections, and civil suites arising from injuries due to the disconnection causing ' an unsafe condition to exist.The liability risk will always be present but will be minimized by the cazeful hiring of foremen and workers, and by having a responsible program supervisor who will be able to identify problem areas that surface in the disconnection process. In addition, standard disconnection methods and drawings will ' be developed. If the proposed disconnection does not conform to one of those standards, the disconnection on that rainleader will not be done and the homeowner ' will be refered to the Citywide Rehabilitation Program where eligible homeowners may receive a no-interest deferred loan. ' Attracting and Keeping Quali,�ed Personnel It is anticipated that this program will experience a high turnover of workers because � of the salaries offered,nature of the work and other factors.To compensate, we will be accepting job applications through out the summer. , Commun' Im act �' p ' There are no anticipated negative impacts on the community. There aze, however, many positive impacts.The RRAP program will provide: , • Jobs to unemployed persons in Saint Paul • Rainleader disconnection to homeowners who cannot afford to have it done by , a contractor • Improvement in the City's standard of living because connected rainleaders contribute to street flooding,basement sewer backups and sewage overflows to , the Mississippi River • A reduction in the charges the City pays to the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission for sanitary sewage treatment costs 1 , ' ' 7 ' i �= �7��7� , Residential Rainleader Assistance Program Application for Disconnection Assistance , Complete the following information.
