City of Saint Paul
Re: METROPOLI TAN S�LJERAGf S7( UD t�S
Relationship of the Eng'ineering
Report to the overall s�tudies
Gentlemen:
This �ngineering Report is a comprehensive plan for sewage col ection
works, mostly outside of Saint Paul , for an area likely to require c ntral
sewer service by the year 2000. In addition to the plan, the report contains
cost estimates and a proposed schedule of construction. The constru tion
project limits are so laid out as to facilitate cost assignments to arious
districts and units of government.
The report was prepared in close coordination and with the .sa e criteria
as those planning for other areas. Also, in order to make the report as real-
istic as possible, an elaborate lfaison and information system was �stablished
with the engineers and policy making representattves of the 33 comm}�nities
within the study area. Unlike Minneapolis, we, with approval of Cor4missioner
Rosen and the Council Advisory Committee, elected to do this study �►ith our
own staff. We felt that only by so doing could we achteve the detailed famil-
iarity with the pro,ject and fihe control that is desirable. We hav the staff
talent available as I think the report bears out and we were able o release
their time by temporarily augmenting our staff with consultant wor on more
conventional sewer pro,jects.
• i
I believe we have the best possible engineering report consistent with
the time allowed and the detail into which the investigatfon went. We, there-
fore, recommend your interim approval of the report so that it can serve as
the necessary factual basis for the really controversial and diffi ult portion
of the study which the legislature has required, namely the financ�e and rate
study. For this the City has retained a consultant and much preliiminary work
has been done by him, by the Saint Paul Council Advisory Committe and by the
suburban groups with whom a cordial liaison has been established.

. ,�y� .
It should be emphasized that the finance -and. rate study, which sho ld - .
now get into full swing, contatns the�_real policy questions that should I�e
focused on. The Engine�ering Report simply p,rovides realistic working assump-
tions as to numerical values�;fior the finance study. As the finance stud�
develops, there may be a need to revise the assumed project limits, or t�ie
staging in order to facilitate assignment of finance responsibil �ty. Ot er
minor changes may be necessary. It is important that the studies by all con-
cerned over the next few months not be concentrated excessively on minor
details of the physical plan. To do so, i feel will miss the whole important
point of these area-wlde cooperative study. The physical plan is subje �t to
ready adjustment in its details both as to finance analysis and as cha�ging
conditions warrant. The really difficult questions that should be conc n-
trated on include the following illustrative examples: '
l. Assumptions as to the organiz�tional nature of the entity or
entities to implement the trunk sewer plan:
2. The pattern of ownership, operation and maintenance of the plan.
3• The pattern of financing methods and reimbursement to the
financing entity, whether it be political organization or
_. revolving fund, for cons�ruction of the major '�Jointly used"
interceptors within and through Saint Paul, treatment plant.
, improvements, treatment plant operation and maintenance, and
� operation and maintenance of the trunk system itself.
4. Apportionment of costs between units of government.
5. Allocation of costs between users and land area. '
6. Distribution of charges between millage rates on property a d
service charges.
7. Financing relationship of Saint Paul and the Saint Paul ar a
to the 14.4 million proposed Saint Paul area collection sy�tem,
the 29 million dollar proposed Minneapolis collection syst m,
the 45 million dollar proposed southwest collection system�
and the 40 million dollar plant expansfon. This is of ver�
great concern. Saint Paul has relationships to consider npt
only wifih the communities likely to be served through it i a
14 million dollar program, but also a position in the enti e
106 million dollar overall Twin City program. This deserv s
considerable thought as to overall financing methods. ' Th
total potential cost involvement concerns far more than t at
just for the Saint Paul area. Copies of the various repo ts
have been requested in sufficient quantity for the Counci
Advisory Committee.

In summary, the interim approval of the Engineering Report is impo�tant
to serve as working assumptions for further studies by the consultant, b� the
Saint Paul Council Advisory Committee, by the suburban groups and by othgr
interested parties. In a sense the really difficult part of the work st� ll
remains to be done despite a considerable amount of preliminary finance tudy.
It is obvious. that a great deal of ingenuity, imagination and plain hard�
work by all parties is necessary if a workable system and one that is f ir
to all parties is to be developed.

Mayor George J. Vavoulis and '
Members of the City Council
City of Saint Paul '
Gentlemen:
The attached draft of a report on a long-range sewage collec ion
plan for the St. Paul Metropolitan Area is submitted for your revie and
your approval is recommended.
This study was initiated last July pursuant to certain require-
ments set up by the 1963 Legislature. Upon your approval it is to e
forwarded to the Sanitary District for incorporation into the overa 1
twin-city sewerage plan to be forwarded in turn to the Water Pollut on
Control Commission by October l , 1964. � '
The attached draft contains all of the written material and aps,
but does not include photographs and certain tabulations which woul be
in the final printed version. However, the draft does contain all f the
material having possible policy implications and I believe you will find
it very interesting and worth your time to study.
The report is strictly an engineering report on a proposed lan
of physical facilities and does not discuss implementation of the lan
nor financing. A separate finance report and proposal based on th �
- engineering report is to be prepared by a consultant with a target date
, of August 15, 1964. Guidance and overall policy direction is bein
given to the finance study by the St. Paul Sewer Finance Committee
headed by Commissioner Peterson. This cortmittee has as members, i
addition to three commissioners, various technical and citizen mem ers.
It has established close and cordial liaison with a suburban finan e
study committee and it is hoped that joint efforts in the coming f w
months will produce a generally acceptable plan for implementation and
financing. .

Target date for the completion of the attached engineering
report has been May 1, 1964, in order to allow ample time for 'the
finance study. It, therefore, would be desirable if the Council cou d
approve the report as of that date or as soon thereafter as possible
in order that it can be printed and distributed for use.
Respectfully yours,

Statement of Yurpose
'
The 1963 Minneaota State Legislature enacted a law cammonly � �
' referred to as the "Ashbach Law" which requirec the Minneapolis- !
St. Paul Sanitary District to adopt a coraprehencive plan for ;
constauttfon and financing of facilities required by the entire area I
' �erved or to be served by such DfstricC. Thie law £urther provides
that the comprehensive plan 01sh�ll include plens prepaxed and approved l
by the governing bodies of Minneapolis and St. Paul for the collection
treatment, and disposal of sewage �or the entfre area likely to lie
served by the sewa�e treatmeint Eacilities of such district.t°
This report presents a plian for the collection o£ sewage from .
' those areaa likeiy tio b� served tb�ough the City of St. Paul.
Lric�uded in this report are (L) a plan for those facilities required
to be ��nstsveted, (2) a propoaed schedule of construction, and
{3) esti�ates of the total cost of co�struction. The "Ashbach Law"
' further requires thaC Minneapoiis and St. Paul. ,�hrnugh the
!linc�eapolis�-St. Paul Sanitary District,, propose a plan to finance
the consCruction and the propdsed method of dividing the operating
' and constructfan costs� among Che towns and mu�licipalities a£fected.
The finance p1�n is not included in this rep ort but will bQ eQvered
in a separate report to be available ebout August 15, 1964. Pursuant
' to the legislation, the Sanitaiy District is to forward to the State
Water Pollutfon Control Commisgion by October 1, 1964 the comprehensiv i�
plans for the entfx� area likely to be served by the Dis�xict. �
' History of the Problem
�
' - In Che period following World War IY, n�ban development began
�
major expansion to areas outside the CfCq� of Saint Paul� Aiany o£
, these ��ea� developed without a central sewer sqs�em and deper►ded upon
septic tanks or othes ictdividusl disposal syatems. Such �sys�ems are
usuelly uasatisfactory as a permanent dispos�l facilitq in urban areas
' A p�r�ion of the ci�y of West Saint Paul has been sewered through
the St. Paul sewe� syatem under a contract ordinance since 1921. With
tbis exception however, St. Paul did not provide sanitary sewer servi e
'

I
' �
to areas outside the City unti2 1952 when North Saint Paul abandoned
its sewage treatment plant and coastructed an interceptor sewer to
' discharge to the Saint Paul sewer system. Since �that time ordieances
have been enacted authorizing all or part of thirteen separat�
municfpalities to be connected to the St. Paul sewer system. These
, municipalities and �authorised Arens are d�ecribed in detail in.Chapter III
of this report.
' Previous Studies and Reaorts
' Confronted with this repid expansion of urban development, the
Hinneapolis-Saint Paul Sanitarq District engag�d the firm of Toltz,
King, Duvall, Anderson and Associates, Inc. in Maq of 1956 at�d aathori ed
' an extensive engineering study of the future sewage collection and
treatment aeed s of the entire Twin Cities �Setropolitan Area. Thia
engineering study was carefully and competently done and involved over
five yenrs of detailed investigation and design. The final report i
' gresented to the Sanitary District was entitled ��ReporC on the Expar�si n , �
of Sewage Works in the Minneepolis-Saint Paul Metrqpolitan Area. •Volum I
Three, September, 1960.�� The data and criteria developed in this �
� report are stil! valid and have been o£ invaluable essistance in the �
preparation of this report. �
i
However, the 1�in Citi�s area has undergone rapid growth and �
' devetopment and there have been many chenge� and additio�e to the area I
served under contrac r•ordinances. Therefore it was determined that the�
fincltngs of this previous study should be reviewed, revised and amended
' as necessary to present a canpletely current report. This is t he
primary objective of this report.
, - It woald be imposeible to properly document and give credit to
everqthing contained_ hereia which was derived directlq from this original
engineering study. Hhere such �credit is given the repo�t is referred
' to far simplicity as the "TKDA Report��.
Study Procedure
' j
In organizing and carrying out this project iC was recognized that '
to the Fullest extent feasible, the local knowledge, plsns, suggestions I
' and vi�ws of elected officials arid engineers from the canmunities affec ed �
should be taken into account in order for the results to be as realisti�
as possible. Pursuant to this objective, the St. Paul •mayor's dffice,
, in Hay 1963, contacted 33 municipalities and townships which could
conceivably be sewered through the City of St. Paul. These municipalit es �
and townships were asked to name a policy making representative and �
' an engineering representative to cooperate with the City in preparing �
this plan. Each engineering representative so named was contacted by �
the Department of Public Works and asked to furnish certain basic data
'
' "2° .
�
i
�
' as well as any local engineering etudies or �reports whfch might be
evailable. ?he response to this request was siccellent and most of t e
' presently developed cammunities submitted detailed informetion: The
engineering studies and reporCg prepared by the var�ous consulting
engineers for the local areas have tteen especially helpfal and have een
most influentiel in shaping and developing the enclosed comprehensiv
' plan. Here again it is impossible to completely document the role e �ch
of these reports has had in shapfng the final comprehensive plan. A
list of credits and acknowledgements is included in Appendix A.
�
Plans are Prelimina
' It should be no�ed that the lans for ro os d
P p p e facilities are
preliminary in nature. The various sewerage district boundaries are
' epproximare and as local sewer systems ase developed these boundaries
wfll be subject to minor change. In fact it may wel,l be that a detai ed
study of a given area will indicat�: that the boundaries should be
' � changed from what fs -show�n in this report. It is believed that ehese
local changea wi�� tend to o£fset one another and the overall effect �
upon t�e comprehensive plan will not he tao great.
' The facflities proposed herein represent a worknble arrangement or
a sewage collection system for the service area and heve been selecte
as a result of detailed stt�dy and investigation sufficient to make
' reasonablg nccurate ahd realietic estimates of constructfon coet. H ever
the plan should be reviewed and brought up to date prior to each
construction step to easure that fac3lities of the proper�•size are
' constrtuted.

' General Characteristics
' The characteristics of the entire Minneapolis-St, Paul metropoli an
area were discussed in great detail in the TKDA Reporto This previ us
report has sections devoted to describing (1) Geography (2) Water
' Resources (3) Atcea Development, and (4) Population. Review nnd
consi�deration of these factors is essentfal to the preparation of a y
comprehensive sewer plan. Flowever since many of these factors are
' basically unchanged since 1960 ft is not believed necessary or desi able
to repeat all of this data in this present report.
I
' Political Subdivisionc
, One area in which a signifieant change should be noted is in
political subdivision. Several new municipalfties have been fncorp ratsd
since the TKDA Report was prepared. These are Gem Lake, Fine .Sprin s
, and Northdale. In addi�3on there have been chenges in the munfcipa
boundaries of some communities. Figure No, 1 shows the boundaries f
political subdivision within the study areas as they existed in 196 .
' Trans oztation Facilities
' The transportetion facilities of the �tain Cities area were discu sed
in detail in the T�DA Report, The joint land-use and transportatio
, planning study currently being prepared by the Metropolitan Flannin
Commission, the Minnesota Nighway Departmen�, the two centrel citie ,
the seven metropolitan counties, and others �ill be of valuable
, assistance in planning se�ers and other Eacilities. However this s ndy i
is not scheduled for completion until 1965o The Interstate and Tru k
Highway system and other streets and highways will continue to be v ey
influential in shaping the development of the metropolitan area. T e
' major highways are also shown on Figure No. 1.

1 The ma'or chan e in the characteristics of the Twin Cities area
] 8
since the TKDA Repart was prepared in 1960 is in predicted population
' trends. The total predicted population of the seven-county metropolitan
area was 3.0 million pezsons by tbe year 2000 at the time the TKDA
Report was prepared. The most cu�rrent esticaeCe of the Metropolitan
� Plannieg Caa�mission predicts 4.0 miZlion persons in �his same area b .
the .year 2000. The 3.0 milflion estim�te formerly predicted for the �
year 2000 is now p�edi.cted for the year 1988. This �s a substantial
, increase and h�as co'nsiderable effect upon the sewerage plan. The
distributfon o! popul�tion throUghout the seven-county •ar.ea and th�
breakd�or�m into sewerage districts within the St. Paul service area ere
discussed i.n C�apter VI of thfs report. �
' There hae been no substantiel change in the re�aaining area
characteristics discus�ed in Part Il �of the TlmA Re�ort and the

Communities Presentiv $ewered
' ,
There are Chirteen subu�ban municipalities which utilize th� St.
' Paul sewer system for di�posal of sariitary sewage as of April 1, 1�9�i4.
Sev�ral othe� communities are planning sewer sqstems or have indicated
a desire to obtain sewer servfce through St. Paul. The thirteen '
municipalities presently connected are as follow.s:
, l. Arden Hills 7. North St. Paul
2. Falcon Heights 8. Roseville
' 3. Landfall 9. Saint Arrthony
4. Mahtomedi 10. Shorevfew
5. Maplewood 11. White BeBr Lake
' 6. Mendota Heig�ts 12. Woodbury Township ;
13. West St. Paul
' Figure No. 2 shows the suburban areas which s�e presently sewe ed
through the St. Psul system. Also shown are the lfmits of sewered rea
authorized by existing contract ordinances. The sewer systems in th'ese
suburban areas are all separate sanf�ary sewers. Tho�e sewers whict�
' convey sewage from more than oa�e co�ttnunity are indiceted on Figuse �o. 2
as jointly-used sewers. Within the City of St. Paul, the jofntly�u ed
sewers are all combined sewers except the Batt2e Creeic sewer which e�as
secently construc�ed and is a separate sanitary sewer.

Temporary Force Main from White Bear Lake A�ea
' �
In 1963 two gumping atatibns and" a force mafn were constructed by
' tt�e City of S�hite Begr Lake to pump sewage from that comsnunity to tt�e
City of St. Paul sewer system. This permitted the existing White Beax
��ke sewage treatment plant to be abandoned. In addieion to the City of
, White Beaz� Lake, capacify was provided in the design of the force m ,i�
for the following communfties:

' DETER �I � NATIOtd OF SEBVICE AREA
Extent of Comprehensive Plan '
,
The purpose o£ thfs report is to present a comprehensive plan o
' "jointly�nsed�' trunk sewers for the collection oF sewage fram "the �
entite area likely to be served" t•hroug�i the sewerage syetem o� the
City of St. Paul. Sewers to be used exclusively within arid by a single
' community are not included.
� Comprehensive Sewaxe Works Planning, Committee
, '
ijpon enactmen� of the "Ashbach L,$w" a Comprehensive Sewege Warki
' ' Pl�nnfng Committee was fvrbed consfsting of engineexs and technical
pereons appointed by the respective goverfling bodies to represent the
CiCies of Minneapolis and S�. Paul, the State Water Pollution Control
Commiesion, the State Baard of Health and the Minneapolis-St. Paul
' Sanitary District. The purpose of this committee is to coordfnate t e
plannirg activities of the�e seve�al agencies. The ou�sid� boufldaries
of the area to be 3nitially studied were agreed upon by the cammittee.
' These bounderies conform approximately to.th�outeide boundaries of the
Northeast, Northwest, SouthFres� and Core Regions as shown in the orfgfna2
R'KDA Report. 'I'�is study area was then divided into thxee areas. On�
, __ area was assigned to Minneapolis, one to St. �aul, and one to the
-• Sanitary District. �he responsibility for planning sewage treatment
facilities fo� all three areas ��s by general agreement re[ained by
' the Sanitaay District. 'The initial study area assigned to St. Paul
is shown on Figure No. 3.
' This committee further established that the facilities compris�ng
this compxehensive pLan should be designed for cond�jtions estimated �o
exist in the year 2000.
' , .
. The Initial Study Area
' Iri Ffgure No. 3 the St. Paul study area is shoum in three separ te ,
classifications. The area in one class3fication ha� been de�ermined
' after study to be tributary to systems other than the St. Paul sewer
system by reason of natural topographq.
' -8- �
,
' The area fn the second �lessification has been determined to be
unsewered or sarved by temporary facilities up unti9. the year 2000,
' The area shawn in this classification is in Oneka entl Lino L�+kes
Townships and in the Village of Hugoo From �the present population an�
devel'opmen� of these areas and f�an current estimates of future growth
in population ae�d development� ft does not appear likely at this tfinelthat
' th�se areas would need �or couYd finance a system of trunk sewersa Therefore
the �comprehensive plan presented in Chis report does nort include faci�ities
to serve thi� areao It is likely that there �ill be some small areas
' of local development within this 18rger area which will require a cen ral
sewex system before ehe year 2000, 47here temporary sewage treatmenC
plants are noti feasible for tltese local s�etems, the faciliCies designed
' for the communities �o the south could be used �n a �emporary contrac�
basis, These facilities will Y�ave excess capacity until the �ime the e
southern communities reach saturatio� popula�iono By this time there
' shou2d be adequate developanent in Oneka and Lino Lakes Toatnships to
finance a second system of trunk sewers to serve these areaso
, The Servfce Area •
' The thisd and remaining cl�ssff£cation of area shown ot� Figuse
Noo 3 is designated as the a�ea to .be aew�red th�ough d�e C�ty of Sto
Paul at�d is referred to as the servfce areso Eor purposes of thia
report the sescvice area include� both those areas presently sewered
' thraug� St, Paul and thoce likely to ba rewe�ed through Sto Peul by

TKDA Report w�re utilized, the estimates in reports of local communiCiec
, were used, end written infarmation and verbal advice from TC@�7PC was used
to the extent availableo The year �000 estfmate so obtained £or the I
entire service area is 379,005 as compared �aith about 340,000 estimated
' for the same area when the TICnA Regort was prepa�edo
At the requesL of the Comprehensive Planning Committee the TCF4PC
agreed to break the seven-county poputation estimates down into six
' districts, namely (L) Northeast Region, (2) Northwest Region, (3)
Son�hwest Region, (4) Southeast Region, (5) Core Area, and (6) the area
outside of these regions butwithin seven-county areao ?hese regions
� conform to the boundaries shown on the ?KDA Report,
The boundaries of the service a rea being considered in this report
, are partly within the Core Area and partly within the Northeast Region
but do not lnclude all of the Northeast Regiono Also a small part of
the cervice area is within the Northwest Regiono Therefore this six
pnrt population breakdown c�n be related only approximately to t he
' populst�on of the service are.aa In January of 196G the TCMPC furnished
an estimate for the Northeast Region of 120,000 in the year 1990,
Relating this to the service area being considered in this regort resu�lts
, in an estimate of epproxfmately 300,000 in the service• �rea by the year
1990o Thia value compared reasonably with the yeer 2000 estimate of
379,005 which was fndicated aboveo
' However� in February of 1964, TCMPC furnished an estimate for the
Northeast Region of 330,000 by the year 2000o Re�ating this to the
� service area being considered in this report resultc in an estimate of
� approximately 450,0�0 persons within the� servf.ce area by the year 2000
Assuming this latter value to be the more nearly correct� it appears
that �he service area estimate of 379,005 which fs shdwn on the tables ,
' charts and flow calculation streets of this report as n year 2000 value
ia on the low side, and on the basis of most current estimates, will
probably be reached about 19950
' Estimates for Psobable Saturation �
' Since it appears that the service area boundaries are ffxed on th ee
sidea and that the area within the service boundary will reach saturation
' development within one to three decadea after the year 2000, an ectimate '
of the probable saturation populRtion was prepared as a part of this
reporto The total es"ti�nate for the service area is 559.490 persons,
' This probable saturation estimate is not the maximum number of persons
which could possibly live withfn this area, however it is not likely
that the number of persons living wtthin this area will exceed thfs
value within the foreseeable future, As will be explained in a later
' chapter of this report, the probable satu�a�ion population has an
important part in selecting capacities for proposed Facilitieso

'
General
'
As stated in Chapter VIIT, estfmated construction cosCs are based
upon prelimfnary layouts of the proposed sewerage facilities. Ther�fore,
' the costs have been est�mated foresch facility by comparison with know�
costs of previously �onstructed faciliti,es similar iri size and capacityo
' Cost Trends .
' The general trend of construction costs has been' �teadily
increasing for m�ny years. One .of the most widely recognized indices
applicable to cost trends for sewerage facilities is the Enginee�ing
, �News-Record Construction Cost Index. A record of this index for previous
years indfcates that construction costs have generally been increasing
at the rate of about 5 per cent per year. In 1959 when the TKDA Report
, was prepared, thi� index was about 800, The present level is about 915�'
and for the estimates in this report an ENR Construction Cost Index of
925 has been assumed. �
' Unit Cost Data
' Section 26 of the TKDA Report and the Appendix Volwne to tbat
report present a very thorough discussion and voluminous data on
, construction and operating costs of variaus sewerage facilities. This
data was collected f�ro� many sources, adjusted to an ENR Construction
Cost Index of 800, and campiled and plotted in the form of charts indicating
, unit costs for various facilities. No attempt has been made to duplicate
this effort. The charts presented in the TKDA Report have been utilized
to estimate the cost of facilitie� proposed in this comprehensive plan.
As explained above, the costs obtained by use of these charts were
' adjusted upward from the ENR Index of 800 to an ENR Index of 935.
' Miscellaneous Costs
' The estimates of total construction co�t indicated in this report
inc2ude appropriate engineering and contingencies allowances eupressed as
I e percentage of the construction cost. No allowance has been made for legal
costs, acquisition of land or easements, or interest during constructiop

, �SE WE R �1GE PLAN
� General
' In previous sections of this report the basic factars influencing
the development of sewerage plans �ave been presented and discussed.
Theee factors ieclt�ded (1) basic p�anning autbority and Zegal responsi;bility
of this report (2) boundaries �f study aree and detetminntion of the f
serviee area (3) exfsting faciiities within the servic�.$rea (4) estimates
' of future gopulation and laAd use within the seavice a�rea and (5) bastc
criteria for planning of sewerage facilftieso I
' This study is limited to planning the sewege collection system for
those areas likely to be served thraugh the City of Saint Paulo Therefore
, the treetment and dispvsal of sewage �t various locations accordf�ng to
varying standards, and considerati�ri t�f such standards, was not requized
to be a pert of this study. In the plan presented herein, ell s�wage �
is conveyed to the Minneapolis-St. Paul Sanitary District treatment plant
' at Pigs Eye Lake, The provision of additioriel capacity in this ex3stiog
treatment plant to accommodate the flows from this service area will be
included and discussed ia the study and report ot the Sanitarq District,
' �
Calculation of Sewa�te Flows
' Estimates of future sewa e flow nre necessa noC onl �o determine
. g � Y
the size and capacity required for each fecility but also to determine�
' the adequacy of existing works, Sewage flows for each facility were
calculated using the population and land use estimates shvwn in Appendix $,
The cizes selected for all gravitq sewers were based on the probab3e
' satur�ttion populations for reasons previously discussed, Sizes and
capacittes required for the estimated year 2000 flow were also calcula ed
for purpoee of compar�son.
' In order to determine the approximate date on which existing
facilities might become overloaded, and in ordez that pump stations
and force mains could be designed in stages ot steps, estimated sewage
' flows were calculated for the years 1970 and 1980, These calculation
represent the largest sewage flow that could occur based on 1970 and 1 80
population estfmates, end were prepared prior to the schedule of construc�fono
'
' -25-
i
' These 1970 and 1980 sewage flow estimates were uceEul in establishing a
schedule of constrnction however, �ertain minor di�crepencies will be
noted between the echedule and th� glow estimates. Fox example, the� 1970
, sewage flow calculatione indicate a sewered population of 100 persons in
Gem Lake. Lt+ter on when attempting to establish a �ealistic schedule of
construction it was estimated that the facility serving Gem Ldke would
, not be constructed until fiter 1980e The two sections would appear t�
be in con£lict. Nowever further consideration will reveal that there are
some areas slong the egst side oF Gem Lake that have need of sewer service
' right now, If these nreas are to be served very soon theh Gem Lake will
either have to construct a central sewer sy�tem much sooner than indicated
by the enclosed schedule or else build a partial sys�seuu discharging into
Faci�lity No�, A-143. A third possibil�ty is ehat a�t agreement or conCract
� might be worked out with one of the adjacent communitiec if such community
Y►ad facilities which cou�d pr�vide for Chfs small �rea. Thus the ariginal
allowance of some flow ia the year 1970 mey be a reasonable assumptiOne
' The above il,luetratfon usin� a specitic communitq is mentioned in
this report not because it is a particularly important or unique prob'rem
' but rather to illnstrate several facCs concerning this study. These
are listed as follows:
(1) It has been az'sumed that lacal communitie� ehould retain som`e
' degree of autbority and responsibility for studyfng and selectirig
�lternaCe solutions to sewer problems affecting emall local arease
(2) To involve this study in the sewer details of each small tr��t
, of land and local area would not be in keeping wi�h its f
intended purpo�e nor would it add to its clarity and usefulnlss.
' (3) The design of major sewerage facilities must be based on conditions
estimated to exist many years in the future. Because these design .
conditions are iaexact, ample allowence mast be made for the
' inevitgble changes in service boundaries, concentration of
populntion, land use and schedules of construction.
' (4) Thus a certain acnount of latitude is available for changes in
sewerage district bounderies, schedules of construction, and�other
items as local communities study tbeir areas in additioaal detail.
No attempt has been made in this study to anticipate or resolve
, a12 such discrepencies for the mere sake of technical exactnesse
Sewage flow calculatior�s foY the qears 197b, 1980, 2000 and problble
' saturation conditions are shown in Appendfx C. I
As described in Chapter V of this report the service area is divided
' into eight major sewerage districts. These districts are shown on
Figure No. 4„ This chapter will present a brief description of the
facilities required for each of these districts.

'
'
' St. Anthony Park District
' The suburban area served through the Ste Anthony Park system is
confined to a protion of Falcon Heights containing Univercity of
' Minnesota and Minnesota Stdte Fairground�s property, At the present
time 8 storm sewer program i� beiag planned for this area which will
uitimately cause the existing combined system to be replaced with separate
cewere. These two State agencies have been cooperativel�r': iavolved in �
� planning this stor�a sewer program. This progrem has �dvanced nearly
to the etage of outlet coristruction and therefore this dfstrfct is exciuded
from further consideration in this report.
'
Riverview District
' The suburban erea served throu h the Riverview District tonsists of
8
West St. Paul and a smaYl area of 40 acres in N,endota Heights. �As
' stated in Chapter VIII a program is under way to provide storm sewers
in •th�s area which will permit the canbined sewer system to� ultimatelq•
be a sanitary only system, As a part of this program, f�nancing
' agreements have beea made which provide West St. Peul with sanitary sewer
outlets through St, Paul. Therefore no facilities for this district are
�ontemplated under this comprehensive plan.
' Trout Brook District
1 The Trout Brook Sewer System hae the most extensive suburban area
of any ef the combined sewer� in St. Paul. Thie district �acludes •
' Roseville and parts of Arden Hills, Fa2con fleights, St. Anthony,
Shoreview and Maplewood. Most of the area within this district, as sho n
on Figure No, 4, is presently served or equipped with � basic skeleton �
' system designed to handle the area. The excpetion to this is AH-1, a siwerege
subdis�rict in Arden Hills directty south of the T'win Cities Arsenalo
The jointly used sewerc within the V�lla ge of Roseville have been analyzed
and it fs estimated that there is sufficient capacity existing in Rosev�lle
' to accarunodnte this presently unsewered area end it is asse�med that ehe
aren will be served in that manner. No analysis has been made of the
Arden Hills eewer system to determine what expense is involved in Arden
' Nills itself to convey this sewege to the Rocevill system, nor has any
attempt been anade to compare the cost of this scheme wfth possible alte�ate
schemes of disposal through Minneapolis and the North Suburban Sanitary
' District. Arden �;ills is the only community involved in these costs and
therefore this is a local decision beyond the scope of this report, I
This study has been limited to those sewers which convey sewage fran
1 more than one community. Therefore in thie Trout Brook district the
capacity of each sewer in Roseville and St. Paul which conveys sewage
from more tban one community hes been compared with the sewage flows
, estimated for probable saturation cond�tion�s. These calculations are
shown in Appendix C. The existing capacities appear to be generally
-27-
'
' adequate,with one exc�ptioa, There is a ca}�acitq deficiency in the
s�nitary interceptor �ewer connecting the Trout Brook combined sewer to the
Minineapolis-St. Peul Joint Interceptor. The reqLe€red en'largem�nt of this
' eenitary interceptor fs shown on Figure No. 6 at�d hes been d�eigaated �ac
Facflity No. �-100 and is fncluded in this Comprehensiee Plnn. As etated
in Chapter YIII pians and cost est3mates for any other sanitary sewer `

� Belt Line District �
' As shown on Figur.e No. 4 in Chapter V, the Belt Line D�etrict �s

White Bear District. Hawever in this etudy and report it is assumed tha�
the area shown as MA•4 will continue �o use the euisting £acilities and
' i�a thus ehowa as a s�parate Selt Lfne District, At stach time as
constructian is undertnken irr Ste Peul to pravide a separate sanit�ry �

consists of Birchwood, Dellwood, Lincoln Township, t�4ahtanedi, North
St. Paul� Pine Springe, Willernie, and parts of �rant Township. Maplewood,
Northdale, Vadnais Heighte, White Bear Township, City of White Hee�'

consider�ble portion of this districC is presently sewered and served
throngh the Saint PAUI Belt Line cambined sewer. The presently
' sewered areas are shown on Figure No. 2 in Chapter III.
As a part of this comprehensive plan facilities adequaee to serve
' this area untiL the yeer 2A00 or later are proposed as shown on
Figure Aio, 6, Faci.lfCies No. a-99. A-100, A-101 and A�*�102 are used _
in common with the Lake Gervais district. Facility No. A-:99 is also
used in common with MA-4 and the City of Saint Paul area tributary �o
' the Belt Line Sewer. Ae described in other chapters of th is report,
certain areas presently on the Belt Line combined sewer have beea
transfersed to Facility Noa A-100, These ereas are MA-2, NS-1, S-1 and�
' those areas presently served by the tempornry White Bear force main.
Celculations of sewege flows estimated for the years t970, 1980,

' Battle Creek District
' As shown an Ftgure Noe 4 in Chapter •V the Bettte Creek sewerage
d�strict consists of aa area directly east of St. Paul and 3ncludes
Oakdale Township and Land£aIl plus garts of Northdale, EASt Oakdale and
Woodbury Townships, part of Maplewood and a part oE the City of St. L'aul�.
' The existing Battle Creek sewer system provides sec�er service for a
considerable part of the d3s�rict, however it does not have capacfty for
the entire area. Facil�ties No. B-100 through 8-110 as shown on Figure �
, No. 6 ase required in addition to existing �acflities in order to provide
sewer service to those parCs of Northdale, Oakdale, Landfalt, East
08kdale and Waodbury Tocroship which ere within this sewerage dist�ic�.
, The existing BAttle Creek siphon does not have capacity to handle the
flow from the �ntire �erea. Therefore pump Station No. 9 has been p}.anned
to discharge through a longer force main dfrectly to the Jaint Intercep�or
rather than through the siphon as originally planned by the City of
, St. Peul when the siphon was built for the City°s own needs.
Facilities C-110 through C-129 serve an area which is presently
unsewered in St. Paul, Maplewood and Woodbury. As statec3 above, by
' discharging the flow from this area directly to the Joint Interceptor
I rether than to Che siphon, the capacity in the siphon originally planned
for this St. Paul area can be used to serve the areas in Washington
' County� tributary to Facility 8-100, C�lculations for estimated sewage
flows can be found in Appendix C. A 13st of the proposed facilities and
Itheir estimated cost is shown in Table No. 4.

S E W E R A G E F A C I L I T I E S �
' Genera�
tIn the preceding chapterc of this report there ie presentad a plen
e�td cost estimete for sewe�age fa�flities required .for the area likely� to
be sexvad through the City of St. Paule In keeping witA the stated
' purpose oF thie repozt, thfs chagter will present a proposed schedule of
cpnatruction,
r
' Bestc Assumptions �
, 7l'he schednLe of mnstruction proposed herein is based upon the
£ollowing assumptfons:
, 1. That in accordance with the provisiorts of. the "Ashbach Law" a
finatrce plan will be prepered and implemented together with this
engineering plan. Therefor�, funds will be avai2Pble Co construct
' facflities of the desired capacity at. the ti,me they �e ne�ded.
The need for intera►ediate solutians, temporary connections and
�topgap measures will thus be kept to a minimum. '
� 2. Where possible, facilities will be provided as local ereas -
within the servire area bave need, and witl not necessarily he
deferzed �nntil a majority of those uli�imately eerved by the
' particular facility are desirous of service.
3o In the� future, for new development within the serv3ce areA,
' dependence upon septic tanks and individual disposal sys�eos
will be minimizedo
, Stas�ec of Construction
, The schedule of constYuction presented in thfs seport consists of
separating the proposed facilities into three separate steges of
con�tructfon, Stage I represents those facili�ies to ba constructed
' before 1970Q Stage II r�epresents those facilities to be consttucted •
after 197n and before 1980, Stage III includes those facilities to be
built after 1980 and before the year 2000,
' -36-
I
'
' The sta es have been se r
g pa ated in this manner in order that the ends
of the steges confot�c to decennial census qears. 8stimated populatio�
' fig�res relate not only ta sewage flow and thus the timing reqnired
for cfln.etruction of facilities, but elso relate to the number of users
available to f3nancQ this construction. It w311 be noted thet Stage III
' covera a period of twenty qeass, This etage, being the most remote, ie
the one whexe timing ie most dif£icult to predict. AcCual cost of }
con'structi.on during Stege iII could vary greatly from the estimates I
�Bhown �in this report due to infla�ionary or defletionary eFfects. Far
, these reasflns it would not appear justi£isble to refine Stage III int+�
further detsil, I
I
' Ffgure No. 7 ah�ws tbe propased facilitiec eeparated into the �hr�e
stages of construction, Table Noo 5 lists the facilities and tbe cost�s
for each constrt�ction stage. �
' Finallq, 3cC should 6e nated thet the proper schedt�ling of this
construction is dependent upoa� future conditions of developmene and
' growth wtiich are very difficult if not i�npossible ta predict. Change��
in rate or pattern of devel,ope�ent or provision of temporary connections
will certainly have some effect upon the construction pinn and the
totai esCimated cost. Hawever, such changes could completely alter the
' schedule of construction. For tMis reason ft is e�ecestary that the '
schedt�le of construction be reviewed and adjueted aC frequent ineervals,

Amr study of this tqpe, throughout its development, will proce�d
' through a series of detailed conclusions and decisions. The most important
of these nre described in the foregoing re,port. Th� following four are
considered basic:
' (1) The suburban area 2ikely to be served through the St. Paul
sewer system by the .year 200A consfsts of all or pert of 29
separate municipalities or townships. This service area
' covers a gross area of 89,624 acres, en area 2� times aa
large as the City itself.
' (2) The 1960 population within this service area was estimated at
about 125,500 persons. The latest population projections from
t'he Twin Cities Metropolitan Plannfng Commission indicate that
, by the year 2000, thia same aren will contain 450,000 persons,
nn increase of over 3� timeso
I
•(3) In order to meet the needs of thfs growing community, a systeaa -
' of sanitasy trunk cewers estimat�d to cost $24.4 million dollar�
must be constructed di�rfng this same period. This does not ,
include the coste of the local sewage collection systems to be
' individually financed by the 29 communities, or the costa fo'r
the sewage treatment plant which are fncluded in the rep ort
of Che Minneapolis-St, PRUl Sanitary District.
' (4) Lnplementation of a comprehensive sewerage plan will require
considerable cooperative effort among the many political
jurisdictions 3.nvolved. Financing and physical acromplishmeit
' of an adequate system will pose many joint problems.
Administrative or political organi2ation and finencing methods
are beyond the assigned scope oE this report and are to be
1 considered in the forthcoming finance report and in the
deliberations of the policy representatives study groups.
