As part of this effort we would urge the City to consider taking the following steps: We encourage the City to work with the Capitol Re� on Watershed District (CRWD) to redirect funds that have been assi�ed to stormwater monitoring toward the purpose of erosion control inspection and compliance. AA-ADA-EEO Employer Responsive Servires • Oualiry• Facikries Enzplayee Przde � May 31, 2006 Page 2 of 4 � � / �� • The City should cooperate with the CRWD to se�egate the inspection arid compliance workload such that the CRR'D would assume responsibiliry for inspectioa and compliance of construction sites of one acre or lazger while the City assumes responsibility for sites smaller • We encoura�e the City to dedicate resources sufficient to hire at least one full-time, dedicated construction site erosion and sediment conirol inspector. Response: The City is considering the establishment of a sediment and erosion control inspection position responsible for projects less than 1 acre in size. The City will propose to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) that the funding used for the storm water morritoring required by the permit be used for construction site monitoring. The City would then enter into an a�eement with the CRWD and the Ramsey-Washinn on Metro Watershed District (RVJIvIWD) to use the data from their extensive monitoring prob ams to meet the permit monitoring requirements. Comment 2: Implement Infiltration Best Practices as Part of Regular Street Reconstruction We urge the City to take the necessary steps to begn implementing infiltration best practices on its residential street reconstruction projects. The opportunity still exists to take advantage of excellent soil condiuons in the street reconstruction taking place this summer in the Summit—Hill neighborhood and we encourage the City to gjve cazeful considerarion to adding infiltration to these projects. Response: Both CRWD and R WMWD are impiementing rules requiring infiltration, which will be effective for the 2007 consiruction season. We have coordinated with CRWD to incorporate infiltration into the Arlington/Pascal paving project, which is under construction this year. We also have coordinated with RWMWD to incorporate an infiltration/filtration basin at the intersection of Lower Afton and Buriington/Totem as part of a street paving project. The Public Works Construction Division is anticipating the addition of infiltration practices to the 2006 Chatsworth/Goodrich Project, which includes the Summit-Hill neighborhood. Comment 3: Comprehensive Training on Stormwater Good Housekeeping for City Staff We encourage the City to adopt a comprehensive stormwater good housekeeping training program for atl City employees of any department whether regulaz or seasonal, full or part-time, whose duties include building, street or grounds maintenance, landscaping and other relevant tasks. Response: City employees regularly attend trainings offered by other entities as described in the report. The City is working with tt�e Metro WaterShed Partner's "Minnesota Watar — L,et's Keep it Clean" campaign to develop a training program for City employees. May 31, 2006 Page 3 of 4 Capilol Region ✓Vatershed Bis�zct �'�vo� Comment 1: Based on our observations there seems to be a lack of erosion and sediment control on t�6i��iTes in e i of . au . s as re an measura e impacts on water quality. It is our experience that gainin� compIiance on erosion and sediment control is accomplished only when enforcement is made a prioriry. Contractors who know that there will be consequences for sediment moving off of their construction site will implement erosion control measures consistent with the approved plans. Conversely, contractors who know there are no consequences will not properly install and maintain erosion conh'ol practices. Response: See response to Friends of the Mississippi River's Comment 1. Comment 2: The sample results for the Luella/Orange Catch Basin Study Area are listed in the Appendix. However, the conclusions and recommendations of that study aze not included. The objective of the study was to evaluate street sweeping and catch basin cleaning activities for the Ciry. The results of this evaluation shouid be included in the report and be the basis far evaluating and modifying the City's Street Sweeping and Maintenance Program to improve water quality. Response: The purpose of the Luella/Orange Catch Basin Study Area pilot project was to deternune the accumulation of sediment in the catch basin sumps over a period of time. Results of this study were reported in the 7une 2004 Annual Report. As discussed at the meeting, Anne Weber will send this information to Bob Fossum and Amy Middleton. Comment 3: On page 15, the following statement is made: "Dry weather flows are not a significant source of pollution in St. Paul." This statement should be clarified or removed as monitoring data from Z005 indicate that there is significant phosphorus loading from "dry weather flows". Response: The statement on page 15 was changed to read: "Illicit discharges and improper disposal are not a significant problem in the City of St. Paul". Comment 4: The table on page 16 indicates that from 2001-2004, 3 field screening inspections revealed "unclean flow". The report should indicate where those inspections were conducted and what follow-up action was taken. Response: For each result of "unclean flow" the location, test results and follow-up were reported in the Annual Report for that particular year. Here is a summary for the three sites mentioned. 2002 Goodrich Outfall 2003 Minnesota Outfall 2003 Jackson Outfall detergent chlorine chlorine campus and residential lawn watering municipal water municipal water May 31, 2006 Pa�e 4 of 4 The Lower PhaZen Creek Froject b (�-�o� Comment 1: Boulevard Raingardens - There is a si�nificant a mount of support at the nei�hborhood eve or ms m� ou evar stormwater mana�ement systems. Scattered raingardens throughout the City get us water quality improvements, rate control and public education about watershed protection. 'I'hese boulevard projects would be installed in nei�hborhoods where street up�ades are not scheduled for years. Response: The City's main focus in the upcoming yeazs will be in meeting the CRWD and RWNIWD's mles requiring infiltration on projects including the City's street reconstruction projects. Proposals to construct raingazdens in boulevards outside of street project areas will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Each site must be evaluated to determine if the conditions support the installation of a rain garden. Comment 2: One Acre parcels - The City should focus their erosion control resources on pazeels one acre and under. Our experience in the field shows that the Mississippi River and its tributaries ue being polluted by these smaller sources. With the Capitol Region Watershed Dishict focusing on parcels one acre or greater, this is a perfect niche for St. Paul. We support the Capitol Region VJatershed DistricYs proposal for the City to hire an employee solely dedicated to erosion control enforcement. Response: See response to Friends of the Mississippi River's Comment 1. Comment 3: Employee Training - The LPCP recommends that the City provide educational opportunities to its employees on specific ways each person can do their job in a watershed friendly way. Response: See response to Friends of the Mississippi River's Comment 3. Thank you for your comments and your time to review the City's Storm Water Permit Annual Report.

The following comments on Saint PauPs Stormwater Pernut are being submitted on behalf of the I.ower Phalen Creek Project (LPCP) Steering Committee. The LPCP views this pemrit as an opportunity to define specificaliy how Saint Paul is to become a leader in stormwater management. Specifically LPCP recommends the following: 1) Boulevard Raingardens--There is a significant amount of support at the neighborhood level for installing boulevard stormwater management systems. Scattered raingardens throughout the City get us water quality improvements, rate control and public education about watershed protection. These boulevard projects would be installed in neighborhoods where street upgrades are not scheduled for years. 2) One Acre parcels — The City should focus their erosion control resources on pazcels one acre and under. Our experience in the field shows that the Mississippi River and its tributaries are being polluted by these smaller sources. With the Capitol Region Watershed District focusing on parcels one acre or greater, this is a perfect niche for St. Paul.

Storm Sewer Construction and Maintenance Catch Basin Inventorv As part of the on-going effort to implement CMMS, a consultant was hired to conduct a field survey of the City's catch basins. Workers using GPS equipment located all city owned catch basins. The total number of catch basins inventoried was 26,096. Catch Basin Maintenance Catch basin sumps are vactored on a complaint basis. Catch basins around Lake Como and Lake Phalen are cleaned annually. Luella/Oranee Catch Basin Studv Area The Catch Basin Pilot project was completed in 2003. City staff decided to continue studying this area in 2004 and 2005. In the fall of 2004, the catch basin accumularion was measured, the basins were cleaned and then dimensions of each catch basin sump were determined. The accumulation was then measured in the spring and fall of 2005. The selected study area is the tributary azea to the Luella/Orange sampling site. Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District monitored the site in 2005. The results of this monitoring are found in the Appendix.

Arlington Pascal Storm Water Improvement Proiect The Cifies of St. Paul, Roseville and Falcon Heights along with Ramsey County and the Capitol Region Watershed District (CRWD) formed a partnerslup in 2003 to conduct an evaluarion of the Como 7 sub-watershed. The results of the evaluation provided a plan to reduce the frequency and durarion of flooding in the watershed and at Midway Parkway, while improving water ' quality in Como Lake. The watershed district worked with the City of St. Paul Public Works Deparhnent to plan and design rainwater gazdens and infiltrarion trenches as part of the Arlington/Pascal Residenrial Sh�eet Vitality Program. In addition to these improvements, the CRWD is working with the Division of Pazks and Recreation to conshuct water quality improvements in Como Pazk. Construcfion began in the 2005 and will continue through 2006. RobieBancroft Flood Control Project Conshucted relief storm sewer system to relieve neighborhood flooding in the RobieBancroft Area.

Targeted Pollutants: Sediments, nutrients, oxygen-demanding substances, chlorides Performance Measures: Frequency of sweeping on each street type, quanrity and breakdown of materiais removed. Quanrity of deicing and anti-icing materials used. Permit Secrion: 2.8 Roadways Street Sweepin� and Maintenance Proeram The City of Saint Paul conducts a street and alley cleaning program to promote the health and welfaze of its cirizens and to reduce the amount of pollutants to receiving waters from storm water dischazges. Streets and alleys are divided into classes, each of which receives a different level of service as defined below: Class I-A & B Downtown or Loop streets Downtown or loop streets aze within the following boundaries: Keliogg on the south, 12`� on the north, Broadway on the east and Main on the west. These streets are swept approximately three rimes per week during the spring, summer, fall and winter as weather allows. All routine maintenance, including patching and repairing of street surfaces, is performed on an as-needed basis. Class II - Outiying Commercial and Arterial Streets These streets, which have business or commercial properties fronting on them, are the City's major arteries. They have heavy volumes of both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Typical examples aze: University, Snelling, West 7�', East 7�', Rice, Payne, Arcade, Suunnit and Grand. Class II streets are swept or cieaned fifteen to eighteen times annually on the following schedule: every two weeks in April, May, October, and November for spring and fall cleanup and every three weeks in June through September for litter, tree debris and sediment. Occasional winter sweeping is aiso done. All routine maintenance, including patching and repairing of street surfaces, is done on a scheduled or as-needed basis. Class III - Residential Streets In the spring, all residenrial streets, including oiled, paved and intermediate streets, receive a thorough sweeping. Patching and repairing is done on a scheduled or as-needed basis. All existing paved and oiled streets are on the 8-year cycle chip seal list. Approximately 12 miles of oiled streets and 60 miles of paved streets were chip sealed in 2005. Oil and sand sealing of oiled streets is no longer done. The Ciry recycles reclaimed sand and seal rock. These materials are no longer hauled to the landfili. In the fall, streets are swept for leaf pickup. All material swept up during the fall cleanup is hauled to a commercial composting facility. Page 9 Class N- Oiled and Paved Alieys All oiled and paved alleys are swept during the late spring. All rourine maintenance, including patching and repairing of the alley surfaces, is performed on a scheduled or as-needed basis. All eicisring paved and oiled alleys aze on the 8-yeaz cycle chip seal list. Oil and sand sealing of oIled streets is no longer done. Class V and VI - Unimproved Streets and Alleys Unimproved streets and alleys are right-of-ways that have not been developed. There are approximately 50 miles of unimproved streets and approximately 288 unimproved assessed alleys in Ute City. Because they aze City right-of-ways, the City has tlze responsibiliry to perform minimal repairs and maintenance work on them to make them passable and to reduce hazazds. The maintenance and repair of these s�eets and alleys consists of patching, minor blading, and placing of crushed rock or other stabilized material. Street Sweeping Sweeping is a major operation for the Street Maintenance Division and is done every month of the yeaz, day and night. Elgin Pelican mechanical sweepers handle the vast majority of the sweeping. An Elgin Crosswind Regenerative air sweeper is utilized Downtown. A second Crosswind was purchased in 2005 and is now in use. In recent years, the target date for completion of spring sweeping has moved up from Memorial Day to May I Sth. The primary material swept in the spring is sand from ice control operations. Fall sweeping is done during the last week of October and the first half of November. The fall sweep is rimed so that a majority of the leaves are down and enough time is allowed to sweep all St. Paul sh before the November snows. Currenfly the wide variety of trees with varyiug leaf drop times makes it impossible to wait for all of the leaves to drop. To compensate for tfus, touch up sweeping continues most years through November and early December. In the nxterest of continued improvement to our sweeping program, workers attend training and best management practices are imptemented. In 2001, the sweepings collected from city streets and alleys were tested and found to be within EPA (Environmental Protecrion Agency) 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 volumes removed from City streets in 2005. 2005 Street Sweeping Quantities Class �neral Debris Leaves- Fall Cleaning Cubic Yards Cubic Yards) I & II 6,192 4,004 III 3,564 15,554 IV 1,584 0 Totals 11,340 19,558 Page 10 06 -� s Street Maintenance has a Hazardous Waste Disposal Policy in place.

Street Maintenance also services over 320 trash receptacles and disposes of refuse from neighborhood _ CIE?AU�� e3C�e3L _ IIIC�C�»mni� no_rnnfimiP�hP a ��b�� 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 controi event of the winter season. From eazly November through mid-April, the need for pavement treatment is determined by temperature and precipitarion. 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 travei times, adverse economic impact, accidents and injuries. Salt is the primary material used to melt snow and ice. Salt is theoretically effective to -6°F but factors such as dazkness, continuing snow, temperatures below 10°F or type and quantity of precipitation all reduce melting performance. Sand is sometimes used in conjunction with salt to enhance traction; usually when temperatures are below 10°F and snowfall amount is likely to be greater than 3 inches. Specific application rates are decided upon for each snow event and adjusted to the minimum amount necessary to achieve the desired results. St. Paul has made use of alternarive ice control products for the past ten years. The best resuits have been with liquid magnesium chloride blends applied to selected bridge decks as anti-icing material to prevent bridge frost. One application of 20 gallons per lane mile eliminates frost formation twice before needing re-application. Our evolving plan currently is to spray 16 bridges in the City, when condirions are favorable for good performance. This program is reducing salt and sand/salt use. Another product of significant interest is salt treated with liquid magnesium chloride and agricultural byproducts. Potential benefits are better melting performance, residual value, and reduction in amount of salt used. Safelane bridge deck surface treatment is being investigated. Salt is covered year round to eliminate runoff. Sand and salt mixture piles are stored in the open from December through February. The City does not store sand/salt mixture during the remainder of the year will avoid outside storage of all products year round beginning in late 2006. Storage facilities are located at the following locations: 873 N.

The ordinance also requires retailers to clearly label fertilizer containing phosphorus and post a notice advising that the use of such fertilizer is resh within the City. In addition, the City amended an ordinance regulating commercial applicators in Saint Paul. The amendment requires commercial fertilizer applicators to be licensed by the City in addition to the pesticide applicators. The state passed legislation that sets a 0% phosphorus ban on fertilizer for the metro azea effective in 2005. The City will continue to coordinate with exisring education efforts, such as WaterShed Partners, to develop and distribute educational pieces. The Public Education and Outreach section contains additional information on education efforts. Pesticide and Fertilizer Use on Citv Facilities The City has strict requirements that aze foliowed for applications on all City facilities. The Department of Public Works does not apply pesticides or fertilizers. All City programs for pesricide use shall be reviewed and approved by the city council prior to any application upon city properry. Each use ofpesticide or fertilizer is documented and reported to the City Clerk and to the District Council in which the application occurred. City policy was developed upon the recommendarions of a report done by the City Councii Investigation & Research Center in May of 1990. In addition, all City staff that apply pesticides and fertilizers must be licensed in accordance the City Ordinance, which requires commercial applicators to be licensed by the City. The City will continue to apply pesticides and fertilizer and document and report use in accordance with these requirements.

Pro�ram The field screening progam was completed in 2004, which was one year ahead of schedule. The permit requirement was to conduct the program throughout the entire City in a 5 yeaz period. Tha inspecrion program. Inspecrions are done during dry weather in order to determine if there is any non-storm water discharges in the storm sewer system. A LaMotte Storm Drain Pollution Detection kit is used to test the samples. The ldt includes tests for pH, phenols, chlorine, copper and detergents. The results of this program to date show the same conclusion reached in the dry weather field screening required for the permit application. Illicit discharges and improper disposal are not a significant problem in the City of St. Paul. A majority of the sites with flow aze clear water, such as ground water and lawn sprinkling water. This screening was completed in 2004. In 2005, the City conrinued to check for dry weather flow during the annual inspecrions of outfalls and ponds. The ongoing field screening program wi11 be in con}uncrion with other inspection activifies. As the outfall and pond inspections are conducted, staff will look for and test dry weather flows.

Permit Sections 2.10 Pesticides and Fertilizers Z.11 Illicit Discharges and Improper Disposal 213 Public Education Program Stortn Drain Stenciline Education Pro�ram The City of Saint Paul has been conducring a successful storm drain stenciling education program since 1993. For the past several years the Friends of the Mississippi River (FMR) has coordinated this program. FMR is the leading citizens' organization working to protect the Mississippi River and its watershed in the Twin Cities area. The 2005 Stenciling Program Report and a copy of the door hanger aze provided in the Appendix. The storm-drain stencilingproject is desiened to meet the followin�three obiectives: • To stencil storm drains with the message "Please Don't Pollute Drains to River," and distribute educational door-hangers to residents and businesses in the stenciled neighborhoods within the City of Saint Paul. • To involve community residents in hands-on learning experiences about urban runoff pollution and ways to prevent it. • To facilitate school service learning initiatives that include storm drain stenciling as a key component. The pro r�objectives will be imnlemented throuah the followine activities: • Identify and organize approximately 1,200 students and other community volunteers to carry out 2,000 volunteer hours of work on the program. Volunteers will stenci12,400 storm drains and distribute 8,000 educational door hangers within the City of St. Paul. • Provide a 30-minute educarional orientation to each volunteer group that participates. • Provide educational programs on urban runoff pollution with school classrooms that participate. • Present 3 to 4 community workshops on urban runoff pollution and ways to prevent it around the yard and home. • Present 2 community workshops/tours on small site rain gazdens. • Coordinate the purchase, maintenance and storage of all stenciling and workshop supplies. Page 17 The annual number of door hangers distributed, storm drains stenciled and volunteers involved in this program is found in the following table. The number of volunteers were not tracked every yeaz of the program. In 2005, the number of volunteer hours were 3,205.

We can track the number of door hangets distributed, the number of stomt drains stenciled and the number of volunteers involved. For each storm drain that is stenciled, the message is going out to the volunteers doing the project and the residents in that area. As the program develops, the emphasis is moving away from maximizing the number of storm drains stettciled to education of the volunteers participating in the program. Page 18 o�-�oS Metro WaterShed Partners Saint Paul has been an acrive Metro WaterShed Partners since 1997. Metro WaterShed Partners is an innovative, dynamic coalirion of over 40 public, private and non-profit organizations in the � Si� Pat� �netropafitaa area tkat� thraug�r c�iiabarative ednea � , residents how to care for azea waters. This partnership has leveraged grant dollars and staff time to develop educational literature and a narionally recognized interacrive display. The WaterShed e�ibit was at schools and events in and azound Saint Paul in 2Q05. The WaterShed is also at the Minnesota State Fair in the Department of Natural Resources Building each year. The Partners staff it during this time. Approximately 100,000 people visit the WaterShed at the State Fair each yeaz. Meho Clean Water Camnai¢n To assist Twin Ciries Phase II Storm Water Program ciries with educationai effor[s Metro WaterShed Partners is conducting the Metro Clean Water Campaign. This type of collaboration allows for the development of a consistent message, which is distributed cost effectively. A City of Saint Paul staff person is a member of this committee. The campaign was continued in 2005 with money raised &om local units of government. St. Paul contributed $5,000 in 2005 and plans to contribute $5,000 in 2006. The 2005 report for the Metro Clean Water Campaign is found in the appendix. Como Lake Water Festival The Capitol Region Watershed District, Black Bear Crossings and the St. Paui Parks and Recreation Deparhnent sponsor this annual family event at Lake Como to celebrate clean water. This event includes eachibits on lawn care, hands-on educational activities, tips for improving lake water quality, fishing demonstrations, a Como Lake clean-up, tour of rain gudens and shoreland restorarion sites, and animals from the Como Zoo. The Public Works Department provides a street sweeper to be on display for this event. A flyer for the event is included in the Appendix. Waterfest The City of Saint Paul is a sponsor of Waterfest, which is a family festival put on each May at Lake Phalen by the Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District. The Watershed District estimates that 1000 people attend this free family festival. The Parks Deparhnent is assisting in coordinating this event, which is being held in a City Park. The Public Works Deparhnent provides volunteers and a street sweeper to be on display for this event. A flyer for the event is included in the Appendix. Annual Spring Parks Clean 5t. Paul Parks and Recrearion's hosts an Annual Spring Pazks Clean-Up every yeaz during the month of April. The City provides clean-up supplies, trash removal, recycling services and a "thank you" celebration. During this event families, groups and individuals clean trash from Saint Paul's parks and recreation centers. Over the last 20 years, over 54,000 volunteers have removed over 390,000 pounds of trash and recyclables during the Spring Parks Cleanup. Without the help of volunteers during the cleanup, trash accumulates in these natural areas harming wildlife, polluting lakes and rivers and detracting from the beauty of our community. This event is a fun and effective way to improve the environment in our community.

Permit Sections 216 Coordinarion with Other Govemmental Enrities As stated in each section of this report, the City of Saint Paul coordinates with many entiries in all aspects of managing storm water. Each project, event or activity listed involves numerous entities. By its nature, water does not follow political boundaries therefore it is necessary to cooperate with other enrities in order to effecrively resolve these issues. The limited resources that aze available must be used efficiently with minimal duplication of efforts. The maia azea of coordinarion on these issues is with St. Paul's watershed management organizarions. Saint Paul Local Surface Water Mana�ement Plan The City of Saint Paul issued a request for proposaLs in April of 2004 to hire a consulting engineering firm to complete its Local Surface Water Management Plan. A consultant was selected in May of 2004. This plan will be developed to meet the requirements of Minnesota Statue 103B.235 and Minnesota rules 8410.00160 and 8410.0170. The plan must also be in conformance with the Watershed Management Plan's of St. Paul's watershed management organizarions. The Mehopolitan Council also reviews the local water plans in the Metro Area. The City is currently working with CRWD on plan approval. The City has approval from Ramsey-Wastrington Metro WD, Lower Mississippi River WMO and Mississippi WMO. Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuarv Saint Paul's newest pazk, the Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary, is a unique 27-acre urban natural area neaz the Mississippi River at the foot of Dayton's Bluff. A former rail yazd, the land has been transformed through yeazs of hazd work by Saint Paul's East Side and Lowertown communities and more than 25 public and private pariners. A community celebration introducing the pazk was held in May of 2005. The many public and private partners involved in creating the Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary — and the commitment of the many community volunteers engaged in the effort — have gamered a national award. The "Take Pride in America" awazd recognizes volunteer stewardship on public lands, specifically within a one-year time frame. Key partners involved in stewazdship activities on the sanctuary over the last year were the focus of the nomination and include: City of Saint Paul Division of Parks and Recrearion, Community Design Center of Minnesota's East Side Youth Conservation Corps, Lower Phalen Creek Project, Minnesota Department of Nahual Resources Metro Greenways Program, Minnesota Environmental Iniriarive, National Pazk Service —Mississippi National River and Recreation Area, Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District, The Trust for Public Land and the 3M East Side Lab volunteers. Page 20 bG -�o� A number of restoration events and activiries took place in the rime frame covered by the awazd. In fall 2004, a total of 50 trees, 35 shrubs, the East Side Youth Conservation Corps and volunteers planted 9,000 herbaceous piugs in the tamazack seepage swamp and oak woodland �—_ ��Pa,�gri�g ay �3 �a�iag Evith 133R�i ex�PlaYeeswi�o Plaut mulched 170 trees and shrubs in three different areas. On May 31 and June l, the Lower Phalen Creek Project hosted volunteer school planting events where 130 children planted 1,100 wetland plugs. Master gazdeners and community resource people volunteered their rime and assisted the children in instailing the piants, which they had raised in greenhouses under the direcrion of the Ramsey-Washington Metro Conservation District. Throughout the year and the long-term history of this project the Steering Committee of the Lower Phalen Creek Project put in countless hours planning, fundraising and advocating for the park. Lake Phalen Shoreland Restoration Project This restoration initiative is an important element in both St. Paul Parks and Recreation and the Ramsey-Washington Metro WD's overall objectives. Land managers understand that vegetation is essenrial to preventing soil erosion. In order to create a shoreline that will withstand erosive forces over the long-term and improve the Phalen Lake ecosystem, narive shoreline plants need to be reintroduced and a natural shoreline created. A natural shoreline is made up of a network of strong vegetation to hold soil in place. Using native plants accustomed to the Phalen shoreline environment and protecring the plants in the short term, as their roots aze establishing, is imperative to the long term viability of the shoreline. The Phalen Shoreline Restoration Project incorporates all of these considerarions and creates a naturai and long lasring shoreline. Eroded areas along the west, south and south east shores were graded and stabilized. Native seedlings and seeds were planted into erosion control mats. A majority of the sites are complete with work on some sections going into 2005 and 2006. The shoreline restorarion will be monitored and maintained as necessary. The Watershed District and the City of St. Paul plan to seek grant funding in 2006 for restorarion work on the natural remnant azeas found on the northeast side of the lake. Watershed Organizations The following briefly describes each organizarion and provides some of the cooperative efforts between the City and its watershed management organization. Many examples of coordination can be found throughout this report. The City provides a staff person to coordinate efforts with each of its watershed organizations.

Here is a sampling of comments from the returned evaluations: Do you feel like you can go home and implement some things you learned in your own yard? If so, what will you do first? If not, how could we have bener prepared you? - Yes, we have a section of front yazd that we we'll be replanring using ideas from the workshop. We can't do a xeal raingarden because of the closeness to the house, but this workshop will help in choosing planu and planning water flows. - I leamed I should not plant a rain garden in the location I'd been thinking about. That in itself was helpful_ - Yes the handouts were great. - I am still dreaming of putting in a rain gazden in my back yard as part of installing a new gazage Page 23 Appendix - Yes, create ditches, swales, grading, planning (plants). Need to deal with bedrock issues - More detail on how to prepare the soil, sizes for different percolarion rates and collection azeas. Design pracrices that work and don't work. What wauld have made this more interesting and engaging for yau? - Not much, it was very good. Mary more "formal" gazden examples. My lot is so small that I can't give up that much space to a gazden that dcesn't fit in with the rest. - More demonstrations on how homeowners dig and evaluate your site - Show more Typical city Iots...40 or 45 ft wide with neighborconstraints - - Diagrams and planting plans for each project. Did you learn a�rything that surprised you? - Yes, the amount of gallons of water from roofs of houses that is produced. - How much runoff a rain gazden can take in - Yes, how much water runs off an ordinary roof and driveway in an inch of rain! How easy to change stormwater runoff if homeowners aze shown how and encouraged to do a small tain garden - Depth of roots of narive plants, volume of rainfall on a city lot, Bwnsville raingazdens - Actually how MUCH water runs off from one home - How much runoff we create. What did you like best abaut the workshop? -The presenter was GREAT! He really had a ton of interesting informarion to shaze, and also was a good speaker. I aLso loved the tour. - How knowledgeable the presenters were, along with the handouts - The examples, pictures of rain gazdens - Pictures of various rain gazdens, Q&A - The team [members] were great complements to each other - Gregg was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Free was fantastic. Overall, well put-together. - The presenters were GREAT. We were excited to go on the tour. We were maybe two min. late and we could not find the bus. Not sure if it had already left or if we were in the right spot Overall very good job. - Great presenters! Any other suggestions? - Educate ciTy officials so they put incentives in for developers, their own city projects and homeowners. Could really make a difference with almost no cost. - Thank you so much! Wonderful workshop, great to have it offered for free yet done so well. - Homeowners aze shown and encouraged to do a small rain garden - Capture rooftop water for toilets, political barriers/facilitators - how can we get city/county buy-in, developers/LEED/arclutects - whds doing it right? Continue elementary school participarion (child labor!), provide storm sewer public works engineering plans to district councils so we can systematically work upstream from each outlet...people don't caze much about the sewer because they can't see it...a "map" may help build public awazeness.
