Weber License No. Date . � f Storm Water Monitoring and Modeling Joint Monitoring Program The Cities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis and the Miuueapolis Park and Recreation Board are participating in a joint stonn water monitoring prograiu as reqaired by the stoixn water pemut. Miuueapolis Park Boazd staff is conducting the monitoring progcani. The Storm Water Monitoring Progcun Manual and the Joint Monitoring Agreement were subuiitted to the MPCA in 2001 and are incoiporated by reference. All of the Joint Monitoring Progrmu data, iesults, summary and budget are found in the Appendix. The 2003 Climatological Smiunary is located in the tlppeudix. The sampling sites were selected from the sites used in the storm water pemrit application monitoring pmgram. Five sites were chosen, representative of the following land use types: two residential sites, two indushiaUcommercial sites, and one mixed use site. Two sites are located in Minneapolis and fluee aze located in Saint Paul. The penvit requires two yeazs of inercury monitoring. There was not a cettified lab in Minuesota until late July of 2001. The two-year progrdm began in the spring of 2002. The report on the men;iay monitoring is foimd in the Appendix. Pollutant Loading Calculations Annual and seasonal pollutant loadiug calculations aze mcluded in the Appendix. Y 4 a�-�oa �o Inventory Storm Sewer Outfall and Watershed Inventorv An inventory of Saint Paul's storm sewer outfalls is foimd in the Appendix. This inventory includes the outFall identification nimiber, outfall name, watershed name, size of pipe and drainage area The £ollowing infom�ation is provided in the Outfall Inventory foimd in the Appendix for each of the 23 wateisheds in St Paul: size of the drainage area, land use types and dishibution, population, percent impeivious sisface area, and the nuwff coef�cient The following table shows the total uianber of discharge points to each water body in Saint Paul.

When this system is complete, we will have the data and systems necessary to acci�rately deterumie the drainage area, land use, population, percent impervious and the nmoff ccefficient for each of the oiilfalls listed in the OutPall Inventory fo�md in the Appendix. This system is Ueiug joinfly implemented with St Paul Regional Water Services to gain substantial economies of scale. The CMMS implementation is con5nuing as previously reported. The softwaiz has been ivstalled and configuration is nearly complete. Public Works has a ongoing conhact in place with a data wnversion vendor. System start-up is scheduled for August 21, 2004. GIS data from the conveision process will be loaded to wincide with system start-up. Status of LIDAR A LIDA R derived Digital Elevation Model (DEIvn has been created for the City of St Paul. Fmm this model, a 1 foot interval contour map of the City has been created. Status of CitiPu� and RGIS aerial photo�ranhv The City has licensed City wide coverage of 6" pixel, color, digital, orthophotos. The photography was collected in the suwmer of 2000, and is available to users Citywide. This data set can be very useful for deteiuiiving land use, wver type, etc. The Ramsey Coimty GIS Users Group (RGIS) completed a lugh resolution aerial photo flight in the sprmg of 2003. T1vs photography is of similar quality to the CitiPix images. This data set is fully available to all City users, and can be used for detailed change detection analysis by comparing it to the 2000 CitiPix images.

In addition to these inspections, pond inlets and outlets are checked routinely after iainfalls for blockage. The City wntinued the program to remove sediment from ponding areas. This progam involves an initial ivspection, prioritization, smvey, timber removal, sediment removal, and inleUoutlet recons�uction_ The following table shows the ponding areas where sediment removal was completed in the Winter of 2003/2004. A summary of the pond ivspection and maintenance activities is included in the Appendilc. The City's 22 storm water ponding azeas will be inspected in the 3pring of 2004.

In July of 2003, a contractor to the City of Saint Paul replaced the inlet with 12-inch diameter pipe. Vegetarion reestablishment is underway to repair disturbance from the inlet pipe replacement project. Monitoring was resumed after replacement of the inlet pipe in July of 2003. Ramsey County removed the monitoring equipment from the site in April of 2004. Monitorine The late sununer and fall 2003 was a very dry period in the metro region. A total of 5 runoff events were monitored until the end of the monitoring period in October 2003, with tbree events providing information on event water, phosphorus and chloride loading. Measured inflow volumes were generally less than observed in 2003 for similar stom�s, presumably due to the very dry antecedent moisture conditions. Infiltration data were not obtained in 2003, but the Uerm separating the two cells of the garden was never exceeded, or even approached. (�`f-�odlo Assessment The rain gazden is very effective. The water level in Cell 1 bas never �ceeded the height of the Ueim to Cell 2. There has been no discharge of water from Cell 2 to the downstream storm sewer system during the monitoring period. No discharge from Cell 2 is expected in the future. The major reason for the gazden's effectiveness is the greater thau escpected infilhation rnte for Cell 1, which far exceeded the design rate. The garden has mbust native plants with extensive mot systems providing infilhation pafhways into the soiL The estui�ated annual phosphorus yield from the contnbuting watershed area is 1.81bs. P. Inflow monitoring from 2002 indicated about 0.841bs. P was diverted to the iain gardeu, with no discbarge from tie garden. The lazger diameter inlet pipe will increase the maximmn diversion flow into the garden. The Como Lake Management Plan targets a phosphoius reducllon of 9 Ibs. P from Subwatershed #6, which contains the Como Rain Crarden. The Como Rain Garden will remove 20% of tlus target goal, in addition to adding a divezse t�abitat and aesthetic value to a lrighly visible location near Como Lake. Suitability of Rain Crardens as a Storm Water BMP Key questions are the maiutenance and long-term performance of the system These issues are interrelated because the performance of the rain garden appeazs to be closely related to the plant growth within it The City of St Paul and Capitol Region Wateished Dishict have parhiered in 2003 and 2004 to fund and direct an intern to initiate appmpriate maintevauce activities, with volunteer assistance, for this and other rnin gardens within the park system, inchtdivg weediug, teash removal, and spot herbicide spraying. It is important to continue this parhaership, particularly as continued constraints to local govemuient fimding are experienced. Public Fducation City of St Paul Pazks k�as designed and installed information sigas about the native plant gazden next to the Como Lake Pavilion and rain gardens located on the east shore of Como Lake. These signs include infonnation on the Como Rain Cruden, as well as the Como Lake Shoreline Vegetation Prograui and native plant garden. A presentation on this project was made at the 2003 Minnesota Air, Water and Waste Conference, Febmary Z'7, 2003. A similaz presentation was made to the Citizens Advisory Cominittee of the Capitol Region Watershed District. 10 o� c�a� � Como Subwatershed #7 Studv In 2003, the Capitol Re�on Watershed District coordinated an analysis of Como Subwatershed #7, including storm sewer capacity and related water quality concems, among various partriezs including the cities of St Paul, Falcon Heights and Roseville and Ramsey Colmty. One of the recommendations from this pmject was the incoiporation of rain gardens along several St Paul streets that were scheduled for recovsiruction in 2005. Preliuiinary rain garden designs were developed by the DistricPs wnsulring engineer and reviewed by the City of St Paul. Impacts on trees in the boulevazd area and a lack of space elinunated most of the iain gazdens from the road conshuction plans. Rain gazdens aze still planned for the inteisections of certain roadways where more room is available, and three ponding areas aze also proposed for the project. Instead of rain gardens, infiltration trenches are proposed for implementation along the roads to be reconstructed. Bruce Vento Nature Sanchaatv For more than seven years, community members have worked to reclaim and redevelop a contau�inated, abandoned area on the Mississippi River floodplain between the East Side and I,owertown neighborhoods. In November 2002, the land was acquired and conveyed to the City of St. Paul for a new park called the Bmce Vento Nature Sancttiary. The plan for redeveloping the 27-acre site includes restoring a porlion of the site for habitat and redeveloping a section for recreationaluse. 11 ��r-�a� Storm Sewer Construction and Maintenanc Catch Basin Pilot Proiect The selec:ted study area is the �ibutary area to the Luella/Orange sunpling site. This 95 acre site is 100% residential. A total of 93 catch basins were cleaned by Sewer Maivtenance crews in October of 2001. Approximately 43 cubic yards of material was removecl. Some catch basins were missed in the initial inventory. The 12 catch basins on Sherwood Avenue were cleaned in April of 2002. Catch basins were checked in November of 2001 to verify that they had been cleaned and to check the shtus of the catch basins before the winter. Accumulation of material in each catch basin was monitored in the Spring and Fall of 2002 and 2003. During the study period the catch basins were not cleaned. The simunary of the measm�ements taken can be found in the Appendix.

The City is in the process of conducting an inventory of its catch basins including number, type and existence of s�np. As part of our on-going effort to implement C'MMS, a consultant was Ivred to conduct a field survey of the City's catch basins. Workeis using GPS equipment are locallng all city owned catch basins and identifying their type. The study is esticnated to be completed in the Sumiuer of 2004. This suivey will provide the City with an accinate mnnber of catch basins �ith sumps.

Quautity of deicing and anri-icing materials used. Permit Section: 2.8 Roadways Street Cleaning and Maiutenance Program The City of Saint Paul conducts a street and alley cleanina prograui to promote the health and welfare of its citizens and to reduce the amount of pollutants to receiving wateis from storm water discbarges. Streets and alleys aze divided into seven classes, each of wluch receives a different level of service as deSned below: Class I-A - Downtown or Loop streets The following service is performed on all downtown or loop sheets within the following boimdaries: Kellogg Boulevard on the south and west, Twelfth Sheet on the north and Broadway Sh on the east. These streets are swept appro�mately three times per week chsing the spiing, stm�mer, fall and winter as weather allows. All routine maintenance, including patching and repaiiing of slreet surfaces, is performed on an as-needed basis. Class I-B - Downtown Streets (Brick) The following service is perfonned on all downtown brick streets (face of curb to face of curb): St Peter St, from Kellogg Blvd to Sixth St; WaUaslia, from Kellogg Blvd to Sixth St; Fointh St, from St. Peter to Wabasha; Fifth St, from St Peter to Wabasha; Sixth St, from St. Peter to Wabasha. These sh are swept approximately three times per week d»nno the spnng, stm�mer, fall and wniter as weather allows. All routine maintenance, including patching and repauiug of sireet surfaces, is performed on an as-needed basis. 14 6���0� c.o � Class II- Outlying Commercial and Arterial Streets These streets are the major arteries in the City and have both heavy volwnes of vehicular and pedeshian traffic. These sireets also have business or commercial propeities fronting on them Typical examples are: University Avenue, Snelling Avemie, West Seventh S�eet, Ezst Seventh Street, Rice Street, Payne Avenue, Arcade Street, Stunmit Avenue and Grand Avenue. The Class II streefs are swept or cleaned fiffeeu to eighteen times anni�ally, every two weeks in April, May, October, and November for spring and fall cleanup; every three weeks for hme thru September for litter, tree debris and whatever else. All mutine maintenance, including patching and repairing of street surfaces, is done on a scheduled or as-needed basis. Class III - Residential Streets The following service is performed on all residential streets including oiled, paved and intermecliate type streets. In the spring, all residential streets receive a thorough sweeping. Patching and repaiiing is done on a scheduled or as-needed basis. Street Maintenance initiated the following policy in August 1997: Oiled sh�eets are chip sealed on a five-year cycle until the oiled street is scheduled to be paved as part of the Residential Street Vitality Prograin. The sh�eet is then added to the ten-year cycle chip seal list All e�sting paved stieects are on the ten-yeaz cycle chip seal list. In 2001, the chip sealing cycle for these oiled and paved sh�eets was changed to every eight yeazs. Approximately 12 miles of oIled streets and 60 miles of paved streets were chip sealed in 2003. Oil and sand sealing of oiled streets is no longer done. In 1995, a recycling prograui was initiated for all reclaimed sand and seal rock. These materials are no longer hauled to the ]andfill. In the Fall, streets are swept for leaf pickup. All material swept up during this Fall cleanup is hauled to a commercial composting facility. Class IV - Oiled and Paved Alleys All oiled and paved alleys are swept during the late Spring. All routine maintenance, including patching and repairing ofthe alley surFaces, is performed on a scheduIed or as-needed basis. Street Maintenance initiated the following policy in Ai.�giut 1997: Oiled alleys are chip sealed on a five-yeaz cycle. Paved alleys are chip sealed on a ten-year cycle. In 2001, the chip sealing cycle for these oiled and paved alleys was changed to every eight yeacs. OIl and sand sealing of oiled alleys is longer done. In 1995, a recycling program was iniriated for all reclaimed sand and seal coat rock. These materials are no longer Yiauled to the landfill. 15 a�_� a� � Class V and VI - Unimproved Streets and Alleys Unnnproved shzets and alleys are right-of-ways that have not been developed. There are appro�nately 50 miles of m�nnproved streets and appro�mately 288 miles of unimproved assessed alleys in the City. Because they are City right-of-ways, the City has the responsibility to perform minimal repairs and ina.intevauce work on them to make them passable and to reduce l�azards. The manrtei�azice and repair of these streets and alleys consists of patching, minor blading, and placing of civshed rock or other stabilized material. Debris Collection Sweeping is a major operation for the Street Maintenance Division and is done every month of the yeaz, day and night Elgin Pelican mecl�anical sweepecs Yiandle the vast majority with an Elgin Crosswind Regenerative air sweeper utilized Downtown. In recent years, the target date for completion of spring sweeping has moved up from Memorial Day to May 15` The prunary material swept in the spring is sand from ice control operations. Fall cleanup is done during the last week of October and the fust half of November. The fall sweep is timed so that a majority of the leaves are down and enough time is allowed to sweep all St. Paul sireets before the November snows. Over 25 years ago the timing of the fall leaf sweeping revolved around the Elm tree. Ctiurenfly the wide variety of irees with varying leaf drop times makes it impossible to wait for all of the leaves to drop. To compensate for this, touch up sweeping continues most years through November and early DecemUer. In the interest of continued improvement to ow� sweeping progrdm, workers attend tcaining and best management practices are implemented. In 2001, the sweepings collected from city streets and alleys were tested and found to be within EPA guidelines for recycling purposes after screening out waste and debris. Only 7 to 10% of swept up material is disposed of in a landfill. The following table shows the vohunes removed from City streets in 2003. 2003 Street Cleaning Quantities Class General Debris Leaves - Fall Cleaning (Cubic Yards) (Cubic Yards) I & II 5,472 5,614 III 4,428 17,108 IV 1,248 0 Totals 11,148 22,722 T � �- �ac� Strcet Maintenance hzs a Hazazdous Waste Disposal Policy in place. Any of these materials collected from city streets aze disposed of in environmentally acceptable means. Sh�eet Maintevance also sernices over 300 txash receptacles and disposes of refuse from neighborhood cleanups each year. Ice Control Operations Minnesota weather requires ice control from late September through early May. Frost forming on bridge decks is usually the first and last ice control event d�'ring the winter season. Farly November through mid April the need for pavement treahnent is detem�ined by temperature and precipitation. Frequency of snow events through the winter season influences amounts of material used. The City's foremost objective is to maintain safe roads for all users. The consequences of icy roads are longer lravel times, adverse economic impact, accidents and injuries. Salt is the priniary material used to mek snow and ice. Salt is theoretically effective to -6 ° F but factors such as darlmess, continuing snow, temperatures below 10 ° F or type and quantity of precipitation all reduce melting'perfoanuice. Sand is an abrasive sometimes used in conjuncrion with salt to enhance traction; usually when temperatures are below 10 °F and snowfall amount is likely to be greater than 3 inches. Specific applicarion rates are decided upon for each snow event and adjusted to the ininunum amount necessary to achieve the desired results. St. Paul has made use of altemarive ice con�ol products for the past several years. The best results have been with liquid magnesium chloride blends applied to selected bridge decks, anti-icing to prevent bridge frost. One applica6on of 25 gallons per laue mile eliminates frost formation twice before neediug re-application. Our evolving plan currently is to spray 16 bridges in the City, when conditions are favorable for good perfoixnauce. This pmgrain is reducing salt and sand/salt use. Another product of significant interest is salt treated with liquid magnesiiun chloride and agriculhual byproducts. Potential benefits: better melting perfom�ance, residual value, and reducrion in amount of salt used. St. Paul Public Works is a big advocate of networlang within the industry for information and regularly attends events such as the American Public Works Association North American Snow Conference. Salt is covered year round to eliuiivate nanoff. Sand and sak mixture pIles are stored in the open from December through Febmary. The City does not store sand/salt mixture during the remainder of the yeaz. Storage facilities are located at the following locations: 873 N. Dale Street (Increased storage is expected at this locarion) 510 East 5�' Street 310 South Victoria Street 17 o �-�a� Ice control materials used as of March 1, 2004 for the 2003-2004 Winter Season 20,480 tons salt 3,640 tons sand 2,000 gallons Magnesium Chloride 1,000 tons �eated salt Employee Training Street Maintenance staff attended MuDOT's Circuit Trainino and Assistance Progra�u in November of 2003.

This ordinance requires sediment and erosion control dtuing construction as well as pennauent stonn water management contro]s. iL5' D�'1o�6 Pesticides and Fertilizers Responsible depaziment: Public Works Sewer Utility and Parks and Recreation Targeted Pollutants: Pesticides and nuhients Performance Measures: Completion of pilot project and public education meas�ses Pemrit Sections 2.10 Pesticides and Feitilizers Fertilizer Ordinance and Education In November of 2001, the Saint Paul City Council passed an ordinance regulating the use of lawn fertilizer containing phosphorus in the Cily of Samt Paul. The ordinance bans the use of feitilizer containing phosphonis in the City with the exception of establic� a new lawn or if a soil test shows that phosphorus is needed. The ordinance also requires retaileis to cleady label fertilizer coutainmg phosphoms and post a notice advising tt�at the use of such fertilizer is reslricted within the City. In addition, the City amended an ordivauce regulating conunercial applicatois in S�nt Paul. The amendment requires commercial fertilizer applicatrns to be licensed by the City in addition to the pesticide applicators. The state passed legislation that sets a 0% phosphoms ban on fertilizer for the metro area effective in 2004. A fact sheet about this legislation is included in the Appendix. The City collaborated with a number of other cilies and state and local agencies to develop a point- of-sale brochure. These brochures were dis�ibuted by the Friends of the Mississippi River at the stenciling events and neighborhood seminais in 2003. The City will continue to coordinate with e�sting education efforts, such as WaterShed Partriers, to develop and dishibute educational pieces. The Public F.ducation and Ouheach section wntains additional information on education efforts. 20 � e���a� Pesticide and Fertilizer Use on Cit�Faciliries The City has strict requireuients that are followed for applicarions on all City facilities.

The goal is to conduct the prograui throughout the entire City in a 5 year period. The field screeuing inspection pmgraru is coaducted in conjimction with the outfall and pond in.c�ction progiain. The results of the field screening conducted in 2003 can be foimd in the Appendix. Inspections are done diaing dry weather in order to deterninie if there is any non-storm water discharges in the storm sewer system. A LaMotte Storm Diziu Pollution Detection ldt is used to test the dry weather samples. The ldt includes testing for pH, phenols, chlorine, copper and detergents. In 2003, 17 sites were inspected for flow representing 6,763 acres or 20% of the City's draivage area. Flow was found at 7 sites out of the 17 sites inspected. At 2 of the sites where flow was found, tests showed a inu�unal detection of chlorine. The results of this progrun to date show the same conclusion reached in the application Dry weather flows aze not a sigrificant so�ce of pollution in Saint Paul. A majority of the sites that have flow are clear water i.e. ground water, lawn spiinkluig water etc. This screening is planned to be conducted annually thmughout the remainder of the five years specified in the pemut. When test results are quesrionable, the City will tcack down the source and eliminate it.

For the past several yeats the Friends of the Mississippi River (FMR) has coordinated this program. FMIZ is the leaduig citizens' organi7ation working to pmtect the Mississippi River and its wateished in the Twin Cities area The 2003 Stenciliug Program Report and a copy of the door hanger is provided in the Appendix. The number of door hangeis dishibuted, storm diaiiis stenciled and volunteers involved is found in the following table.

We can hack the number of door hangers dishibuted, the mm�ber of storm dcains stenciled and the number of vohmteeis involved For each storm dcain tt�at is stenciled, the message is going out to the volunteers doing the project and the residents in that area As the progam develops, the emphasis is moving away from max;m;�ing the munUer of storm diaivs stenciled to education of the vohmteers participating in the progr<nn. The stormdrdin stencilingpmject is designed to meet the following three objectives: • To stencIl storm drains with the message "Please Don't Pollute Dcau�s to River," and disfribute educational door-hangeis to residents and businesses in the stenciled neighborhoods. • To involve commwuty residents in hands-0n leaming e�cperiences about urban nmoffpollution and ways to prevent it. • To facilitate school service leaming iniriatives that include storm d�ain stenciling as a key component 26 a�-(�ac� annuat Pro;ecr components : • Identify and organize approximately 1,200 vohmteers to stencil at least 2,400 storm drains and dishibute 8,000 door hzngeis withiu the Ciry of St Paul. • Provide a 30-minute educarional orientation to each volunteer group that pazticipates. • Provide educational progcams on urban nmoff pollution with classrooms that pazticipate. • Present community workshops on urban runoff pollution and ways to prevent it. Plan and coordinate a rain gazden education workshop. • Coordinate the purchase, mainten�ice and storage of all stenciling supplies and equipment. Metro WaterShed Partners Saint Paul has been an active Me1ro WaterShed Partners since 1997.

The City provides clean-up supplies, trash removai, recycling services and a"tUank you" celebration. During this event families, groups and individuals clean hash from Saint Paul's parks and recreation centers. Over the last 17 yeazs, 54,000 volunteers have removed over 390,000 pounds of hash and recyclables dming the Spring Parks Cleanup. Without the help of volimteers during the Cleanup, hash accinnulates in these natimdl areas l�amung wildlife, polluting lakes and rivecs and detracting from the beauty of our community. This event is a fun and effective way to imProve the environment in o� local conummity. Lake Phalen Shoreland Restorarion Pro�ect Master Gardeners from ltainsey and Washington Counties assisted with revegetating the shore of Lake Phalen. The June 18, 2003 project was coordinated by the Ratnsey-Washington Me�o Watershed Distcict, which has revegetated a total of 1,700 feet of shoreland in 2003 and a total of 4,000 feet since 1998. Engaging the community is key in this type of proj ect. In 2003, 20 adults and 550 students were involved in planting. Volunteer plantings are also planned for 2004. 33 o�-�a� Coordination with Other Governmental Entities Responsible department: Public Works Sewer Utility Tareeted PoIlutants: All polli�ants Performance Measures: Report the ongoing coordinated activities and shtus of cooperarive efforts in each Annual Report. Pemut Sections 2.16 Coordination with Other Goverrnnental Entities As stated in each section of tbis report, the City of Saint Paul coordinates with many entilies in all aspects of managing water quality and storm water. Each project, event or acrivity listed involves numerous entities. By its nahue, water does not follow political boundaries therefare it is necessary to cooperate with other enllries in order to effectively resolve these issues. Even more so in this time of budget crisis, the limited resources that are available must be used e�ciently with minimal duplication of efforts. The main azea of coordination on these issues is with St. Paul's wateished mwagement organizations. The City's main coordinarion effort in 2004 will be the development of the City's Local Surface Water Management Plan. Saint Paul Local Surface Water Management Plan The City of Saint Paul issued a request for proposals in April of 2004 to hire a consulting engineering fum to complete its Local Surface Water Management Plan. A consultant will be selected in May of 2004. This plan will be developed to meet the requirements of Minnesota Statue 103B235 and Minnesota rules 8410.00160 and 8410.0170. The plan must also be in confonnance with the Watershed Mauagement Plan's of St. Paul's watershed management organizations. The City will be worldng with the WMOs thmughout this process. The Mehropolitan Coimcil reviews the local water plans in the Mefro Area. Local water plans are a required element of the City's comprehensive land use plans. k� � b� � (�a � Watershed Organi�.ations The following is a sununary of the projects for each of Saint Paul's watershed management organization_ A map of St Paul's wateished management organizations is foimd in the Appendvc. Mississig_pi Watershed Management Organizarion (MWMO) The MWMO is a joint poweis orgaiv�ation wluch lies mainly in Minneapolis. Membeis include the Mnuieapolis Pazk and Recreation Board, Minneapolis, St. Anthony Pazk, Lauderdale and St Paul. A sma.11 area in the northwest comer of St Paul is within the MWMO boundary.

The MWMO Board has allocated $250,000 for the fund in 2004. Details will be released in January 2004. Some of the projects selected for funding include educating residents about low impact development techniques and non-point source pollution, habitiat restoration, volunteer stream monitoring publications, a river clean-up event, the Soltice River event and Great River Greening. MWMO Education Program MWMO, in cooperation with Caim & Associates, is working with the Minneapolis Public Schools to develop a water quality education progcam. In 2004, work will begin with the St. Anthony, Roseville, and St. Paul Schools building on what was developed in Miimeapolis. Caim & Associates is also developing the Mississippi Watershed Education Reservoir, a lustory and resource directory which will be made available on CD-Rom and from the MWMO website. 35 � ,. . Eco-Education will be nnplementing their Model SchooLs in Urban Environmental Education in four schools within the Mississippi Watershed. This will include teacher 4aiuings, staff support, student service-leaming pmjects, shident achievement banguet and evaluation components with selected classrooms in those four schools. Cauu & Associates and Eco-Fducation staff will work together to align their City Connections ciuiiculum and progtam with the Mixuzeapolis Public Schools Core Science Standards. Friends of the Mississippi River and the Minneapolis Pazk and Recreation Board are worlang with the MWMO to provide community education through water quality workshops and storm drain stenciling. Using hands on activities, commwuty volunteers, students and local residents will leam about the importance of preventing polluted runoff from entering the storm sewers systeui. Approximately 700 vohmteeis will stencil 1,200 storm drdins and distribute 4,600 educational doortiangecs with water pollution prevention tips to local homes and businesses. Each group or classroom tYiat stencils will receive an educational presentation on non-point source pollutioa Two educator workshops will introduce teachers to the project, provide background on the Mississippi River and water pollution, and offer cimicuhun ideas tt�at will enYiauce the stenciling aclivity. Two conummity workshops will be given that focus on non-point source pollution and ways to reduce it through altemative lawn care and landscaping methods. 36 ��-' (�2�0 Canitol Region Watershed District (CRWD) The Capitol Region Watershed District was formed in 1998. The watecshed includes parts of St Paul, Roseville, Maplewood, Lauderdale, Falcon Heights, the State Faira oimds and the Universiry of Mivuesota. The wateished is considered urban and the majority of the uea drains to the Mississippi River through stonn sewer systems. The main ]akes in the watershed are Como I,ake and Iake McCarrons. Como I.ake is located in a regional park and McCzrrons Lake is located in a coimty padc Crosby Lake is a floodplain lake and is in Hidden Falls Regional Parks. There are several natival wetlands in the District. The following is some of CRWD's projects and activities for 2003: • The Como Rain Crnrden was constructed in 2001 as part of a paving project. The CRWD, Dishict 10 Environmental Committee and the City participated in this joint project The CRWD monitored the rain garden in 2002. Storm water was not reactring the second cell of the garden. The City will be replacing the pipe into the rain gazden with a larger pipe in the Spring of 2003 in order to get more water into the gazden. St Paul Public Works will be cleaning the stnxch�res and the catch basins upst�eaui of this rain gazden annually. St. Paul Pazks and Recreation is responsible for maintenance of the rain garden. • The District has a consultant agreement to parlicipate in the review of development pmjects.

The MPRB is responsible for monitoring and data reporting. The purpose of monitoring for the NPDES permit is to characterize the impacts of stormwater dischazges M ETHODS This summary includes the equipment installation at each site, the pazameters monitored, field quality assurance sampling, data handling, validation and reporting. Site Installation Equipment installation began when freezing temperatures were no longer a concern in the spring since freezing temperatures can damzge transducers. See Table 8A for site locations and characteristics. See Figures 8A and 8B for maps of site locarions. The equipment installed at Site 1(installed 4/21/03) included an ISCO 3700 sampler, a leveUpressure transducer and an ISCO 4120 datalogger. The flow paced datalogger was adjusted accordingly tluoughout the year to collect samples over the entire hydrograph. Site 2(installed 4/15/03), Site 3(installed 4/17/03), and Site 4(installed 4/15/03) each had the same equipment and flow pacing. Equipment installed at each site included an ISCO 3700 sampler, an area/velocity pressure transducer and ISCO 4150 datalogger. The flow paced dataloggers were adjusted accordingly throughout the year to collect samples over the entire hydrograph. The equipment at Site Sa (installed 4/24/03) included an ISCO 3700 sampler, an azea/velocity pressure transducer and an ISCO 4150 datalogger. The flow paced datalogger was adjusted accordingly throughout the yeaz to collect samples over the entire hydrograph. Monitored Parameters Samples were collected Mazch through October. The target frequency for sample collection was once a month. If a sample was missed one month due to lack of events, then two were taken the nea2 month. The March and April samples were snowmelt events. Total volume sampled for each site and total recorded volume is �ven in Table 8B along with the percentage sampled per season.

The purpose of these samples was to ensure sample integrity. Field blanks consisting of deionized water accompanied samples from the sites to the analytical laboratory. One field blank was used for the five sites each sampling trip for a complete analysis of NPDES parameters. Equipment blanks (2-1 L samples) were collected from Site 4 on 8/13/03. To collect the equipment blank, a lazge bottle of deionized water was placed at the end of the sampler's tygon tubing in the storm sewer. The intake line was flushed and pumped by pulling deionized water through the sampler, simulating the pre-sample flush. The flush water was back-pumped to waste and then a sample of deionized water was collected. The samples were of sufFicient volume to allow analysis of all parameters. Data Handling, Validation and Reporting Manual transcription of data was minimized to reduce the need for data validation. However, 10% of all manually transcribed data were checked for transcription errors. Since none of the checked data were found to be incorrect, all iranscribed data were not checked. See section 17, Quality Assurance/Quality Control Assessment Report for details. Field measurements were recorded on the Field Measwement Form in the Field Log Book_ All field measurements were entered into a computerized database. Hard copy and computerized data from the laboratory were forwazded to the Monitoring Manager, as defined in the Storm Water Monitoring Program Manual (MPRB, 2001), for review. 20Q3 Ntater tZeso�rces Re�car� —�ii�t�eas��l[s °�rk & Revreatign *��arc� ��ge 89 Tabie 8E. Analysis method, reporting limit and holding times for parameters used by contracted o�-�a� Computerized data from the laboratory were checked and passed laboratory quality assurance procedures. The Field Coordinator reviewed data approaching the exh of the range for consistency. Ulrimate responsibility for fla�o�ng data was jointly shazed among the Monitoring Manager, the Field CoordinaTor and the Laboratory Quality Assurance Coordinator, as defined in the Storm Water Monitoring Program Manual (MPRB, 2001). The Laboratory Quality Assisance Coordinator was responsible for verifying inconsistent data within the laboratory. Data considered inconsistent were those data values exceeding three times the standazd deviation. The Field Coordinator reviewed computerized data received from the analytical laboratory for completeness. These data were used to prepare storm event reports. For data reported below the reporting limit, the reporting limit value was divided in half and then used for all calculations. A Chain of Custody form accompanied each set of sample bottles delivered to the lab. Each tray was labeled indicating the date and time of collecrion, site location and the field personnePs initials. The rime each bottle was collected was recorded from the ISCO sampier onto field sheets. A complete descriprion of inethods can be found in the Storm Water Monitoring Program Manua1(MPRB, 2001). Results of this season's monitoring can be found in the following results section. Statistics for event mean concentrarions were calculated using Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. The computer program FLLIX and computer model P8 were used to calculate flow-weighted mean concenirations and estimate snowmelt runoff volume respecfively. A description of FLLTX as described in the FLIJX manual (Walker 1996): "FLUX is an interncrive program designed for use in estimating the loadings of nutrients or other water quality components passing a hibutary sampling station over a given period of time. These estimates can be used in formulating reservoir nutrient balances over annual or seasonal averaging periods appropriate for application of empirical eutrophication models. Using six calcularion techniques, FLUX maps the flow/concentrafion relationship developed from the sample record onto the enrire flow record to calculate total mass dischazge and associated error statistics. In many cases, stratifying the data increases the accuracy and precision of loading esrimates: ' A descriprion of P8 as described in the softwaze's introducfion: "P8 is a model for predicting the generation and transport of stormwater tunoff pollutants in small urban catchments... Simularions aze driven by hourly rainfall and daily air-temperature time series..." 2Ci43 V�ta! Resources Re,�ort — G�i�n����i=s Park & Recre�tia�� Baard �age s0 ��- �,(D RESULTS & DISCUSSION Event mean concentrations aze listed in Table 8F. Cazbonaceous biologcal oxygen demand (cBOD) was tested past the holding time for one event at Site 4, but was still used in calculations because the numbers were compazable to other events. This value is noted with "**" in Table 8F. Table 8G lists the mean, median, maYimum, minimum, and standard deviations for all measured paranieters. Many pazameters fluctuate with season. Typically, maYimums for each pazameter were reached during eazly spring and fall. This was probably due to snowmelt accumulations and leaf litter, respectively. Peak phosphorus levels during snowmelt were probably due to an accumularion of animal, lawn, and leaf litter waste in late fall and during winter months. In general, TKN, NO3NO2 and NH3 had high peaks during snowmelt and mid to late spring. Possible reasons for this trend are leaf litter and debris aceumulation over winter leading to high snowmelt values and spring fertilizer application. High Cl concentrations aze typical for stormwater runoff duting winter and eazly spring months when street salt is used. Chloride levels exceeded U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Chronic Freshwater Quality Criteria of 230 mg/L only during these months. All samples after May were well below the standard. Currently there is no chloride standard for stormwater. Specific conductivity, TDS, and TSS also followed this trend. High TSS values might be ariributed to accumulated sand applied to icy roads. Almost all metals had maximum levels in Mazch indicaring a"first flush" effect which occurs during the initial runoff period. The snowmelt event on 3/13/03 was the first snowmelt of the year. The events on 6/4/03 and 8/20/03 generated the highest fecal coliform numbers. The 8/20/03 event was preceded by almost a month of dry weather. Sampled data were fairly comparable to typical urban stormwater data (Tables 8H and 8I). Table 8H shows the TP median for MPRB sampled sites was slightly higher than reported Nationwide Urban Runoff Program (NURP) values. Most metals were lower than reported NURP values while TKN, NO3NO2, BOD, and TSS were compazable. The MPRB mean concentrations for TP, TDP, TKN, and a11 metals were less than Minneapolis Public Works and City of St. Paul reported average concentrations in Table 8I. The MPRB mean concentration of NO3NO2, NH3, BOD, and TSS were comparable to other reported values shown in Table 8I, while TDS was slightly larger. 2C?�3 VV�ter Resources I2epcar� — t�"snn�apo(€s r�rk & R�creat"ss�� t�aard B�a�e 91 � � v 0 s y R ¢ N m 3 L° a � � 0 0 N L 0 m w T a � 9 L m > m a m a £ m N N W 0 a Z LL � m s R r a d G � d a e � i R � N N 7 m a R t 0 . m 3 a � 3 � n 0 4! m 0 2 0�-��co � v�`i�iolmc:i �mn a m�c�co�n <ooamrrr r�n rmm<oo� �nc� m�?m m mrn <orn�omcn cy n� �o r�n �m�vi �ri� ro�c�i°��i'?p ov r°?c�i`�"'� rci°�v�o vir�+iai.=oi coai°�vai N� H � �� � N f7 � N� d .

The rain gauge location is the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport All flow-wei�hted mean concentrarions were calculated using FLi7X (Table 8.�. FLIJX calculates total mass discharge and associated eaor statisrics based on six different calculation methods. Calculation methods 1-D'uect Mean Loadin� and 5-Regression, Second-Order were ignored because they aze inappropriate for storm sewer applications where the daily flow file contains a significant number of zero flows (Bruce Wilson, personal communication, 2001). Sample concentrarions and associated daily average flows were used as input for these calculations. The data was often stratified by flow or seasons to achieve the most accurate and precise results (Table 8K). The highest TP, TSS, TDS, and CI concentrations were estimated at Site 1. Site I is 95% residential land use and located on E. Hazriet Pazkway. Site 4 had some of the highest metals concentrations. This could possibly be due to runoff from University Avenue which is highly commercialized, densely populated and a major commuter route. Site 4 has approacimately 40% commercial land use and 60% residential land use. The lowest concentrations of phosphorus, TSS, NH3, Cd, and Zn were found at Site Sa. Site Sa is mixed land use coverage. Low phosphorus could be ariributed to limited fertilizer application and minimal soil disturbances. Table 8L includes flow-weighted mean pollutant concentrations reported by the U.S. Geological Survey for various sites within the Twin Cities (as cited in MPCA, 2000). The Yates watershed was a stabilized residential area Iverson was a residential watershed under development while Sandberg was predominanfly light industrial land use as reported by the U.S. Geological Survey (as cited in MPCA, 2000). Sites 1 and 2 aze most compazable to the Yates watershed land use chazacteristics. Site 3 is more closely related to the Sandberg watershed land use chazacteristics. When comparing the flow-weighted mean concentrarions for these sites, it is evident that Site 1 and 2 have lower concentrations than Yates for all parameters except TSS. Sites 1 and 2 aze within the range of values given for Yates. Site 3 also has lower flow-weighted mean concentrations than Sandberg. The water quality of sites 1-3 is comparable to or better than the study sites of 1980. Event mean concentrarion seasonal statistics for a combination of all sites were calculated and aze listed in Table 8M. 2t�Q3 W�ter R�sources �epcart — Minnea�ca€is �ar�e &�ecreatian Boarci �age 95 o�-�a� _ � m � � Y t rn � 0 LL U � � LL ri 0 O N C .� d N R O L � F a� W � � a� z .� O � �r y w � u� N W Y Z m a wW R m d v a� = R A � N � c � � O « a i - � C m V U� C m O p �U W n �U E a c V � s s� m � 3 m u O o �U 7 � m s A F� � �� V 7 N N�� � N O � t") � � r � p j U o 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 O m m �_� �"'� rnrn o�mrn � N � � � � � (p M tn N N N � r O � sT O M O O � N O o � �� � �� 1� N r N A (� O O 6� O O W O (j N o N N N N N O * J � O � � O � O J O O O o O O O O � C V E U N ?

Table 14A lists total monthly precipitarion and monthly average temperature for the yeaz 2003 as recorded by the N WS. The data is plotted 'm Figure 14A. Average temperatures for the year were comparable to normal except for August and December which were warmer than usual. The warmest and coldest months of the yeaz were August and January, respecrively. The average annual temperature for 2003 was 463° F, 1.0° F above normal. In general, 2003 was a predominantly dry yeaz. April, May, and June were the only months that exceeded normal monthly precipitation totals. May was the oxily month with significant excess rainfall. July, August, October and November had significantly less precipitarion with totals reaching 12 inches or more below normal. The wettest and driest months of the yeaz were May and January, respectively. The annual recorded rainfall total for 2003 was 22.73 inches, 6.68 inches below normal. All NWS data was obtained from hrin://climate.umn.edu(doc/twin cities/twin cities.htm. Table 14A.

The enrire Twin Cities 2003 Weather in Review can be found at htto:Uw�uw.climate.umn.edu/doc/ioumaL'twincities2003.htm. "2003 began with not a single flake of snow on the ground. The lack of snow cover helped an unpressive January thaw with record highs on January 7th of 52 degrees and a whopping 54 degrees on January 8th... ...The total snowfall for the 2002-2003 season was 31.7 inches, or 242 inches below normal. The last rime snow was this scazce was the winter of 1994-95 when 29.6 inches fell. With the dry winter behind, spring 2003 saw a return to copious rains. April, May, and June were all wetter than normal with May much above normaL May 2003 was the 13th wettest May on record with 614 inches, 2.90 inches above normal. Summer made an eazly appeazance with a record high of 89 degrees on April 14th. In the entire weather record for the Twin Cities it has never been 89 degrees or wazmer so eazly in the year. There was one outstanding rain event for the Twin Ciries in 2003. During the evening ofJune 24, heavy thunderstorms developed over the westem metro and persisted for much of the night. Totals ranged from 3.46 inches at the Twin Cities Internarional Airport to 819 inches at Elk River... The biggest weather story in 2003 for the Twin Ciries was the drought during the second half of the yeaz. 2003 will end over six inches below normal and was the driest year since 1988. The 2003 drought began for the Twin Cities on July 15th. August saw the most intense dryness with only 1.12 inches of rain, 2.93 inches below normal... The dryness persisted into autumn with one good soaking rain in the middle of September. 1.47 inches fell over a two-day period. This was only a brief respite from the drought and September still finished below normal for rainfall. From July 15th to the end of December a little over six inches of precipitation fell. That is less than half of the normal value of 13.81 inches... Some early season snows gave hope of a more "normal" winter for the Twin Cities. Both November and December had snows measured at Chanhassen that were close to historical averages. December finished out the year on the balmy side with temperatures well above normal. However, nighttime temperatures stayed cool enough for a snow cover to persist most of the month. 2003 as a whole was a dry wann year, with enough vaziety in the mix to make the climate in the Twin Cities always an interesting experience." TWIN CITIES RAIN GAGE COMPARISON Precipitation amounts can vary greatly within a city. In order to understand the pattern of a storm event, rainfall data from other agencies was obtained from various sites throughout Minneapolis and St. Paul. The rain gages aze not heated and cannot measure snowmelt, therefore only totals for the growing season (April - October) were calculated. Table 14B lists the rain gages by operator and their locarions. The Minneapolis Pazk & Recreation Board (MPRB) obtained data from four Ramsey Soil and Water Conservarion District (RSWCD) manual rain gages. The rain gages were located near the Nationwide Pollutant Dischazge Elimination System (NPDES) sites in St. Paul. Volunteers for the RS WCD recorded the data from the rain gages, and monthly totals were calculated. The monthly totals were then averaged for all four sites (Table 14C, Figure 14B). 2C3G3 SNater f'.esources Re�cart —�'Iinneapc(6s Par(c & Recreation Boarc3 Page 155 r.z'a. .T� The MPRB operates a tipping bucket rain gage in southwest Minneapolis and the City operates a fipping bucket rain gage downtown. The data is recorded from employees at the rain gage locarion. Monthly totals were calculated (Table 14C, Figure 14B). Table 14B. Location of rain gages used by the MPRB, listed by operetor.

The pilot project began in 2002 after the Minnesota Department of Health certified a laboratory for low-level mercury analysis. The MPRB —Environmental Operations Section is responsible for the monitoring component of the permit. METHODS This summary includes the sampling methods, laboratory methods, quality assurance samples, data handling validation and reporting. Sampling Methods Metcury (Hg) and total suspended solids (TSS) samples were collected at two sites. Site information is given in Table 8A. Grab samples were collected during rainfall events when there was sufficient flow in the pipe to collect a sample. Table 9A. NPDES stormwater monitoring sites, St. Paul 8� Minneapolis, MN.

The method describes the two-person clean hands/dirry hands sampling technique in detail. Safety procedures and Standazd Operating Procedures (SOP) that were followed are described in the MPRB's Storm WaTer Monitoring Pro�am Manual (2001). The hvo-person sampling team wore Tyvek wind suits and shoulder-length polyethylene gloves. The sampling device was a PVC dipper with three 5-foot eatension handles (Figure 9A). A field blank was collected with each mercury sample. Sample bottles were filled without headspace, double-bagged and kept in a cooler on ice. The clean hands/dirty hands sample collecrion protocol was followed. TSS grab samples were also collected in conjunction with all of the mercury samples. The sample dipper used for TSS was made from polyethylene and had a 12-foot handle. The dipper was rinsed with stormwater three times and then a sample was collected. Flow data was collected with ISCO dataloggers. Installation details aze given in Section 8, NPDES Monitoring. Total volume sampled for each site and total recorded volume is given in Table 9B along with the percentage of flow that was sampled. Snowmelt events and rain events before equipment were installed aze not included in Table 9B. Precipitation events for the year that were sampled are given in Table 9C.

North Shore Analytical (Duluth, MI�, the contract laboratory, is certified by the Minnesota Department of Health. Samples were shipped in coolers with ice and preserved in the laboratory's clean room. All mercury data aze reported in units of nanograms per liter (ng/L). This is equivalent to parts per trillion. The minimum detection limit was 0.1 ng/L. TSS analyses were completed by Instrumental Reseazch Inc. The analytical method used was SYandazd Methods 2540 D and the method detection limit was 1.0 mg/L. The holding Ume for TSS is 7 days. Quality Assurance Samples A number of qualiTy assurance samples were used during this pilot project. Mercury field blanks consisting of purified water were used to check for sources of contamination and ensure sample integity. A field biank was collected with each mercury sample (100% of samples). In the field, using the clean hands/dirty hands sampling protocol, purified water was poured into a sample bottle. The sample bottle was double-bagged and placed on ice in a cooler. In this way, the field blank was treated the same as a sample. For low-level mercury analyses the field blanks must be less than 20% of the associated sample. The field blanks for mercury were all acceptable (Table 9E). 2t�03 �'Yater Res�carc4s P.e�c�rt — l�::�r�a¢otis Park &�2ec�eatian �oard F'age �t}3 Table 9C. 2003 precipitation event data and samples collected for N PDES mercury pilot proje ct N/A = Not available due to snowmelt event.

A mercury field duplicate was collected for 45% of the samples. Field duplicates for TSS were collected for 15% of the samples. The field duplicates for mercury (Table 9E) and TSS (Table 9F) were acceptable except for two mercury samples from Site I on 6/4/03 and 9/18/03. It was noted in the field notes for those sampling events that it was raining steadily on both occasions. Direct rainfall into the sample container may have affected the samples, or the stormwater may not have been homogenous at the 5 minute intervals that were sampled. Both of these events were also associated with high mercury values. The Quality Assurance protocol and results for TSS can be found in Secrion 17. Performance evaluaUOn standards for mercury were made and preserved by staff at the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services Reseazch and Development mercury laboratory clean room. These samples were then shipped to North Shore Analytical for analysis. PerFormance evaluation standards were used to quantify data precision. The percent recoveries (Table 9D) were all acceptable.

Emissions have caused deposition of inercury in remote azeas of the planet. According to the Environmental Protecrion Agency (2000), the top contributors of inercury to the ahnosphere in the United States aze coal-burning power plants, municipal waste combustors and medical waste incinerators. Once mercury is deposited in a waTer body, natural processes can convert mercury to a more toxic form, methyl mercury. Methyl mercury can bioaccumulate in fish, posing a risk to humans and other species that consume mercury-contaminated fish. Other mercury data were gathered in an effort to compaze the mercury values from this project. The National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP) Mercury Deposition Network (MDI� has a station in Lamberton, Minnesota, which is funded and operated by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. This station in Redwood County is the closest station to the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. The station collects weekly deposition samples. The data set analyzed was from 1/6/98 to 4/30/02. Only data that were fully qualified and from precipitation events were included. The range of inercury concentrarions from rainfall was greater than what was found during the NPDES mercury monitoring pilot project (Table 9I). The average from stormwater is somewhat higher than the average from rainfall. More stormwater data are necessary to make conclusions. In addition, the precipitafion events during the pilot project were lazger than during the NADP data set. � The University of Michigan Air Quality Laboratory had similaz results to the NADP MDN data. Razn on Chicago's South Side (Illinois) had mercury concentrations ranging from 5.4 to 74.5 ng/L (McCann, 1999). These values have a wider range than whaz was found in stormwater during this pilot project. Total mercury concentrations in three rivers in Minnesota were analyzed in 1995 and 1996 (Balogh, Meyer and Johnson, 1998). In the Minnesota River, at Fort Snelling concentrations routinely exceeded 10 ng/L and one sample exceeded 70 ng/L. In the Mississippi River at Lock and Dam 1 in St. Paul, concentrations never exceeded 10 ng/L. In the St. Croix River at Prescott, concenffarions never exceeded 4 ng/L. Mercury concentrazions in these rivers varied by season and watershed. In conclusion, the preliminary results show that mercury concentrarions in stormwater during this pilot 2C?t�3 �Na�er �eso�rces 32epert — �:nr�e�p�lis Park & :{.ec:�eatecan Pc�re� Page 1a4� Table 91. Statistical summary of data from National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP, 2003) Mercury Deposition Network station in Lamberton, Minnesota and from the MPRB mercury monitoring NPDES pilot project in Minneapoiis, Minnesota. Precipitation data o�f-�a� project aze similaz to concentrations found in rain water. This is not surprising since rain water is the precursor to stormwater. Atmospheric deposition is probably one of the main pathways for mercury contamina6on. Also, the results from this limited study indicate that total mercury concentrations may or may not be correlated to TSS concentrarions at an individual site. This may be due to different land uses in the subwatersheds or to other factors. REFERENCES Balogh, Steven J., Michael L. Meyer and D. Kent Johnson. 1998.
