City Council Agenda Report
City of Scandia
14727 209th St. North
Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274
Action Requested: Receive the City Engineer's study of the possible expansion of the
Anderson-Erickson portion of the 201 Wastewater Treatment System.
Deadline/ Timeline: The Council authorized the study at its December 20, 2011 meeting.
Background: • The study was initiated in response to an application from James
and Sandra Continenza for a variance to allow construction of a
new home on Big Marine Lake. The new home and a home next
door owned by the Continenza family would both need new sewer
service. They would prefer to connect both dwellings to the City's
201 Sewer System. The deadline for review of the variance has
been waived to allow time to determine if an expansion of the
sewer system is feasible.
• A preliminary report was given at the February 21 meeting. "I'he
final report is attached.
Recommendation: The Council should receive the report. If necessary, the discussion
could be continued to the March 20 regular meeting. Action on the
Continenza variance application could also be brought back to the
Council for a decision at that time.

DRAINFIELD EXtSTING CONDITION AND CAPACITY ASSESSMENT
Anderson/Erickson System - Scandia, MN
Executive Summary
The existing Anderson/Erickson drainfield was designed in 1986 to treat up to 6,700 gallons per
day but is currently being operated with only half of the designed infiltration area and with flows
consistently exceeding 7500 gallons per day during the peak summer months. Although the
system appears to be hydraulically functioning (i.e. not backing up to the surface), this loading
rate is significantly over that called for in the original design, and the prescriptive soil loading
rates currently presumed to provide an acceptable level of nutrient and pathogen reduction.
Unless there is a commitment on the part of the City to upgrade or replace the current system;
we can not recommend the connection of additional homes or cabins to the system at this time.
The full design capacity of 6,700 gallons per day could be realized by restoring the planned
drainfield dosing functionality, which we recommend; however with summertime peak flows
exceeding 7,500 gallons per day, the system is already being operated over capacity. We
recommend sorne consideration be given to a longer term solution that would meet not only the
immediate need, but would atso allow additional connections along the service area where the
City has already installed collection pipe. Furthermore, as many as 18 of the 30 properties
currently served by the system appear to be in seasonal use. Conversion of any of these
properties to year-round use would increase the flow to the system without any additional
connections and such property use conversion is beyond the City's ability to control.
The residual drainfield area owned by the City would allow for some limited expansion of the
system. Given the soil conditions on the property, an elevated bed or mound would be required.
Additional capacity in the range of about 2,000 to 2,500 gallons per day appears to be
achievable within the remaining area, but acquiring additional adjacent property upon which to
expand the system could ultimately provide greater capacity and provide for the eventual
replacement of the system.
The existing drainfield could be loaded at a higher rate if the septic tank effluent were to be
pretreated. This would require the installation of some type of pretreatment device such as a
sand filter or proprietary registered treatment product. If the effluent were to be pretreated, it
would need to be distributed by pressure pipe along the length of the trenches. Therefore
additional tanks and pumps at the treatment site and some modification of the drainfield would
be required.
Expansion or pretreatment could increase the capacity of the system to allow daily flow rates
greater than 10,000 gallons. Increasing the capacity to 10,000 gallon per day or greater would
move the system from a County-permitted system to a State-permitted system. We understand
that City already owns a State-permitted system and we recommend that the regulatory
implications of increased capacity be considered.

DRAINFIELD EXISTING CONDITION AND CAPACITY ASSESSMENT
Anderson/Erickson System — Scandia, MN
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE
Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. (Stantec) was engaged by the City of Scandia (City) to
complete an assessment of the existing "AndersonlErickson" wastewater collection and
treatment system, which serves homes and cabins generally located along the eastern
shoreline of Big Marine Lake in Washington County Minnesota.
1.2 SCOPE OF ASSESSMENT
Our agreement with the City included the completion of the following tasks:
Task 1 —Collection and Treatment System Review
. Conduct a site visit with Washington County staff to physically walk ihe drainfield site
and verify the treatment system site conditions.
• A review the current operations, maintenance practices, and records management.
• Provide comments on operational procedures and relatively simple system
repairs/upgrades that have the potential to improve the system's performance and
extend the drainfield's life.
• Complete hand-auger soil borings in the residual treatment area to determine it's
suitabiliry for possible expansion of the soil treatment and dispersal system.
. Make recommendations for soil treatment system expansion or pretreatment that would
allow additional connections to the system over the defined service area.
Task 2—Drainfield Expansion Recommendations
. Provide recommendations on expanding the existing drainfield and/or adding
pretreatment to serve all properties in the desired area to be defined by the City.
Task 3— Prepare Financial Cosis of Improvements
. Provide financial planning recommendations to fund system maintenance, system repair,
and system expansion and replacement.
1.3 BACKGROUND
In 1987,Washington County completed construction of the"Anderson/Erickson"system to
provide wastewater collection and treatment for 21 dwellings on the east side of Big Marine
Lake. The system was constructed utilizing grant assistance from the United States
Environmental Protection Agency and State of Minnesota known as the"201" program.
The cluster system includes individual septic tanks at each property, a septic tank effluent
pumping system (STEP) where necessary, lateral sewer pipes, pressure and gravity sewer
collection pipes, and a conventional drainfield treatment system. Property owner's responsibility
and ownership extends to the septic tank. The actual septic tank and everything beyond,

DRAINFIELD EXISTING CONDITION AND CAPACITY ASSESSMENT
Anderson/Erickson System—Scandia, MN
including all STEP stations, collection infrastructure, and the treatment facility itself is owned by
the City.
The Anderson/Erickson System was originally owned and operated by Washington County
along with two other systems (the Bliss Area System and Carnelian Hills System) under a State
Disposal System (SDS) permit issued by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA).
Ownership and operational responsibility for the Anderson/Erickson and Bliss Systems was
subsequently transferred to Scandia Township (now the City of Scandia), and although the Bliss
system continues to be operated under an SDS permit, the Anderson/Erickson System was
dropped from the MPCA's permit program early in its operational life due to the low monthly
flows recorded at that time. Through a contract with the City (previously Scandia Township),
Washington County has provided the basic operation and maintenance for both the Bliss and
Anderson/Erickson Systems since the transfer of ownership.

DRAINFIELD EXISTING CONDITION AND CAPACITY ASSESSMENT
Anderson/Erickson System —Scandia, MN
2.0 COLLECTION AND TREATMENT SYSTEM REVIEW
2.1 EXISTING COLLECTION SYSTEM
The original sanitary sewer collection system was intended to provide service for twenty-one
homes. The system includes individual septic tanks at each home and approximately 3,390
lineal feet of sewer main to collect the effluent from the individual septic tanks. Initially four tanks
were connected to the collector sewer through a 4 inch gravity connection with the remainder
connected to a 1�/� to 3 inch pressure sewer main through septic tank effluent pumping (STEP)
systems.
Septic tank effluent is directed to a main lift station located at the south end of Norell Avenue
from which it is pumped about 40 feet uphill to a large drainfield located about 500 feet east of
the shore of Big Marine Lake. The lift station was equipped with dual-alternating 5 hp pumps
designed to deliver 50 gallons per minute at a total head pressure of 70 feet. Design dose
volume was about 529 gallons.
The pressure sewer collection system was extended by 3,700 feet in 2001 during a road
reconstruction project increasing the potential number of service connections to more than forty
five. Five additional connections were made immediately in 2001 and four more properties have
been connected since that time bringing the total number of connected properties to 30. It
appears that there are about ten (10) service connections that were stubbed out in 2001 but are
currently not in use. A Project Area Map (two sheets) illustrating the properties currently and
potentially served by the existing collection system is attached.
2.2 EXISITING TREATMENT SYSTEM
Initial treatment consisting of solids separation and anaerobic breakdown is provided by the
septic tank installed at each dwelling. Final treatment of septic tank effluent is soil-based and
occurs in a drainfield. The original drainfield system that was installed in 1987 is still in use.
Wastewater is delivered to the drainfield drop boxes by the main lift station and trenches are
sequentially loaded by gravity (i.e. serial distribution). The system is divided into three
separate cells each consisting of 2,250 lineal feet of one-foot wide trench with 18 inches of rock
beneath the distribution pipe. The design anticipated that only two cells would be in operation at
any time with the third cell "resting". Each lineal foot of trench was assumed to provide four
square feet of absorption area (one foot for the bottom and a total of three feet for the two 18-
inch side walls). Based on a design flow of 6,700 gallons per day, a soil loading rate of 0.37
gallons per day was anticipated while using two drainfield cells simultaneously.
The automatic valve system intended to create the alternating use and resting pattern amongst
the three drainfield cells apparently failed early in the system's life (reportedly due to water
infiltration in the valve manhole). Since this equipment failure, the system has been manually
advanced from one zone to the next on a yearly basis. Currently each zone is used for one year
then allowed to rest for two years. Although this essentially doubles the soil loading rate (one
cell is used instead of two), it appears that the system continues to function hydraulically and
neither surfacing nor excessive ponding in the drainfield trenches has been reported.

2.3 CURRENT FLQW INFORMATION
The wastewater flow to the d�ainfield system is measured at the main lift station. Flow rates are
calculated by multiplying the pumping rate by the number of hours that the pumps are actually
running. It appears that pumping capacity is verified yearly by manually operating the pumps
and measuring the time required to pump a known volume from the lift station. Running hours
for each pump, and for those times when heavy use causes both pumps to run simultaneously,
are recorded by"run time meters" (RTM) located in the pump station control panel. The RTMs
are read by Washington County staff about once a month. It appears that the RTM for one of
the pumps failed in June of 2008, and since then, time shown on the operating RTM is doubled
and added to the RTM recording simultaneous pump operation time (if any) to determine flow
for the monitoring period.
Monthly flows for the period 1990 through 1995 were included in TKDA's 2000 capacity report,
and a spread sheet calculating flows for the period June 2004 through October 2011 was
provided by Washington County. No data was available for the period February 1996 to June
2004.
The data indicates some seasonality in the use pattern, but generally a steadily increasing flow
with time. For the twelve month period ending October 2011, the average daily flow was 5,582
gallons. However, the average daily flow for the period July 5 to July 19, 2011 was 7,524
gallons and flows during the heavy summer use period (June/July) have consistently been in the
range of 7,000 to 8,000 gallon per day since the summer of 2006. Since these peak summer
flows are actually averages calculated over monitoring periods of 14 to 32 days, the true peak
daily flow is unknown but is clearly above these averages.
2.4 OPERATIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Currently the system is operating using one cell and resting two on a yearly basis. Resting each
drainfield cell for two years between uses is a good practice to prolong the life of the system, but
using only one of the three cells at any given time presents some concerns with respect to
hydraulic loading and the ability of the system to provide treatment. As currently operated, the
system is being loaded at three#imes the design rate during heavy use periods and at two times
the design rate on average. Although a copy of the original design report was not available for
review, it appears unlikely that the system can provide adequate nutrient and pathogen
reduction when operated at these loading rates. Restoring the zoning functionality included in
the original design would mitigate this concern to some extent, but the system would still be
overloaded during the heavy use periods.
One of the pump RTMs has not worked since 2008. However, it appears that the lack of data
recording for this pump has been adequately addressed by periodically verifying that the
capacity of both pumps is similar, and multiplying the time recorded by the functioning RTM by
two. Replacing the broken RTM would be fairly inexpensive; however, as an alternative, the City
may wish to consider upgrading to a programmable logic controller (PLC) with supervisory
control and data acquisition (SCADA). Upgrading the control panel to a SCADA system or
something less expensive that would at least provide data recording capability would provide
much better flow data without the need for frequent visits to the site.

Anderson/Erickson System— Scandia, MN
The 2000 TKDA report noted a particularly high flow to the system in June of 1993 and
correlates this spike in flow with abnormally high precipitation that month. The increased wet
weather flow was attributed to infiltration and inflow (I&I) of surface and/or groundwater to the
system. We did not compare precipitation data to flow data and can offer no opinion as to the
extent of I&I. Nevertheless, with so little gravity collection pipe, the primary concern would
appear to be sump pumps discharging to the system. With no way to measure the flow f�om any
given properry, these types of connections would be difficult to detect and the City may have to
rely on education of the users to help eliminate these illicit discharges.
A more assertive effort could be completed by the City that would involve a sump pump
inspection program. This program would identify if any cross connections are present. A cross
connection is when a sump pump is connected to a sanitary sewer line instead of discharging
outside the house. If cross connections are identified and the City enforces corrective matters,
I/I to the overall system could potentially be reduced. The City first would want to have an
ordinance in place that would assist in the inspection of private property. Sump pump
inspections could be completed with existing Public Works staff or the residents could also have
the option to have a MN licensed plumber complete the inspection. Sump pump inspections
typically take about 15 minutes for each home.

Anderson/Erickson System — Scandia, MN
3.0 CAPACITY EXPANSION RECOMMENDATIONS
3.1 EXPANSION WITHIN EXISTING DRAINFEILD AREA
Three hand-auger soil borings were completed within the unused portion of the drainfieid
area owned by the City. Soil boring logs and a soil boring location map are attached in
Appendix B.
The borings indicate silt loam and loamy fine sand at the surface, which is underlain by
sandy clay loam and sand. Indications of periodic saturation were encountered at depths of
25 to 48 inches. Without pretreatment, three feet of vertical separation is required between
the bottom of the distribution media and periodically saturated soil, therefore any additional
soil treatment area constructed in this area would need to be elevated (i.e. a mound). While
any expansion of the existing system to provide additional capacity would be subject to the
approval of the permitting entity, treatment for an additional 2,000 to 2,500 gallons per day
should be achievable based on the soils observed and extent of this residual area.
If the system "design" capacity remains below 10,000 gallons per day, Washington County
would continue to administer it as a Mid-sized Sewage Treatment System (MSTS). When
the system was originally designed in 1986, it was intended to treat 6,70Q gallons per day.
This flow rate would be generously high applying today's design standards to the soils
present at the site. Nevertheless, the County would not question the original design of the
system when permitting a potential capacity expansion. Repairing the broken dosing
functionality and adding a mound designed to treat an additional 2,000 or 2,500 gallons per
day would bring the total system "design� flow to 8,700 or 9,200 gallons per day, leaving it
within the permitting authority of the County. Nevertheless, with peak daily flows rates
unknown and average daily flow rates already 7,000 to 8,000 gallons during the heavy
summer use months, most of the additional "design" capacity added to the system through
these repairs and modifications would be taken up by the existing flow leaving very little true
capacity expansion. The County would also require a nitrogen assessment to determine if
the discharge from the system will impact an aquifer. A desktop review of published data
(Appendix A) suggests the area is usensitive"to aquifer impacts, therefore a nitrate reduction
Best Management Practice (BMP) or pretreatment to reduce the nitrate concentration wilf
likely be required (subject to the County's requirements).
If the system were to be modified to exceed a design capacity of the 10,000 per day, it
would be regulated as a Large Subsurface Sewage Treatment System (LSTS) and a SDS
Permit would be required from the MPCA. The MPCA would apply its LSTS Groundwater
Nitrate Nitrogen Policy which would require that a total nitrate concentration of 10 mg/L (or
Iower} be maintained at the downgradient property boundary, or that the effluent be
pretreated to reduce the nitrate concentration to less than 10 mg/L before it is discharged to
the soil. In the case of the former, the City already has monitoring wells that might be useful
in demonstrating compliance (assuming they are positioned correctly). In the case of the
latter, the additional mound would probably not be necessary since the highly treated
effluent could be loaded to the existing drainfield at a much higher rate (refer to Section 3.2).

DRAINFIELD EXISTING CONDITION AND CAPACITY ASSESSMENT
Anderson/Erickson System —Scandia, MN
If a mound were to be built on the residual area, effluent would have to be distributed to it
under pressure (whether it is permitted by the County or State). This would likely require a
dosing tank in the drainfield area. Assuming the system is going to be permitted by the
County (the least expensive option), we would estimate $20,000 for a 10,000 gallon dosing
tank installed; about$14,000 for dual dosing pumps, a simple control panel and wiring; and
about$40,000 to construct the mound. Based on our discussions with the County, it appears
that they would allow the existing drainfield to be dosed by gravity; therefore minimal
modification to the drainfield itself would be required. However the dosing functionality
originally provide by the broken valve system at the drainfield site would have to be
replicated in the dosing tank and we would estimate a cost of about $5,000 to purchase and
install this equipment. The dosing and resting cycle could be considered a Nitrogen BMP
(subject to the County's approval) and would be built in with no additional cost. With 30% for
design, permitting and contingencies, adding a mound to the exis#ing system could easily
cost more than $100,000 and would add no more than about 1,200 gallons in daily capacity.
3.2 PRETREATMENT OPTIONS
There are a number of potential pretreatment options available that would allow increased
flow to the existing drainfield cells. Public domain technologies including single-pass and
re-circulating media filters were contemplated by Bonestroo in their 2002 report and remain
potential options for the City. The cost of these technologies has increased somewhat since
2002 due to labor and materials costs and regulatory requirements.
There are also a number of proprietary treatment products available that are registered for
use in Minnesota. These systems vary widely in initial capital costs and in the ongoing cost
of operation and maintenance, but in general they employ an air blower to oxygenate
effluent and encourage the colonization of aerobic bacteria on a membrane or in
suspension. For the purposes of estimating costs, we assume full build-out along the
collection system providing service to 45 4-bedroom houses with a total daily flow of about
15,500 gallons. This large a system would be permitted by the State.
If the effluent were to be pretreated, it would need to be distributed throughout the drainfield
by pressure. The existing gravity distribution system utilizes 4 inch perforated pipe and it
should be possible to slide smaller pressure distribution pipe into the 4 inch pipe. Additional
tanks and pumps would also be required at the treatment site.
As noted above, the total cost adding pretreatment varies widely with the technology.
Something in the range of$200,000 to $400,000 would be required for tanks, pumps,
controls, and treatment equipment, but if nitrogen reduction to 10 mg/L is required, the
equipment costs could double. Another$100,000 should be budgeted for drainfield
modification, design and contingencies. The advantage of pre-treating the effluent and
utilizing the existing drainfield is that most of the dispersal and groundwater monitoring
infrastructure is already there, and there is no land acquisition cost. We believe this option is
likely to produce the lowest overall cost to increase the capacity of the system to serve all of
the properties along the existing collector pipe. A much more accurate estimate of the actual
cost of this type of system modification can be provided if the City chooses to pursue this
option.

3.3 ACQUISITION OF ADDITIlJNAL LAND
Based on our own investigation and the review of available information, it appears that any
soil treatment and dispersal system built on land adjacent to the existing system would have
to elevated (i.e. a mound). It appears the City had some adjacent property evaluated in
2001, contemplated purchasing the property, and then decided to discontinue negotiations
with the owner. Nevertheless, expansion onto adjacent property remains an option.
A desktop review of suitability of the soils within reasonable reach of the existing system is
included in Appendix A. It appears the best soils are north and east (across Olinda Trail) of
the existing system. To provide for full build out of existing collection system, we estimate
treatment for about 15,500 gallons per day would be required and the system would be
permitted by the State. The State may allow the continued use of the existing drainfield if it
can be demonstrated that it is adequately treating wastewater. For the purposes of
discussion, we have that it is not and that the entire system would need to be replaced on
nearby property.
Typically the State wili require that the City provide enough land for a replacement site, and
they will want to see 150% of the required treatment system built out immediately with 50%
of the land held in reserve. Assuming a conventional mound loaded at 10 gallons per lineal
foot per day, about 3'h acres of treatment area would be required (including the reserve
area). Depending on the system geometry, mound spacing, and the slope of the land, at
total of about 5 to 7 acres of land would be required to construct a replacement system. We
estimate the land cost to be approximately$10,000 to$15,000 an acre; and the cost of the
mounds, tanks, pumps, controls and electrical to about $370,000 including 30%for design
and contingencies. In total, a replacement system on land to be acquired would probably
cost about $500,000 without pre treatment to reduce nitrogen. To reduce nitrogen to less
than 10 mg/L, another$250,000 in treatment equipment might be required. Without a
nitrogen reduction pre-ireatment, it would likely be necessary to expand or replace the
existing monitoring well network.

4.0 FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
4.1 MAINTENACE OF EXISTING SYSTEM
No information on the City's current expenditures to maintain the system was provided for
review. We understand the costs to maintain the Anderson/Erickson System are combined
with the Bliss System and record keeping does not allow the maintenance costs to be easily
separated between the two systems.
If the system is not expanded, it will operate under a permit issued by the County. Therefore
County staff will no longer be able to operate the system for the City and the City will need to
hire a contractor. We understand all of the septic takes associated with system were
pumped in 2011 creating a spike in maintenance costs. It is required that tanks be cleaned,
or checked to determine if they need cleaning every three years. Staggering the
maintenance so that one third of the tanks get pumped every year would smooth out the
cost of this maintenance. Transitioning to this schedule might require delaying the pumping
of some tanks (for example some seasonal users) or accelerating the pumping schedule for
some other tanks until the properties can be broken out in three groups.
We recommend that the City consider using the existing monitoring well and piezometer
network for the purposes they were originally installed. Measuring ponding in the trenches,
the groundwater mound beneath the system, and the impact (if any) that the system is
having on groundwater quality is useful data. This information would validate the
performance of the system, help the City to operate the system more efficiently, and identify
potential deficiencies.
4.2 SYSTEM REPAIR
If nothing else is going to be done to the system we recommend replacing the RTM at the lift
station and repairing the automatic dosing valves in the valve box at the treatment site so
the system will operate as designed. We understand that is also an electrically operated
drain back valve at the main lift station that is inoperative. Replacing this valve would reduce
the run time of the pumps. The RTM is probably no more than a few hundred dollars
installed, but the valve equipment and wiring could easily be several thousand. We would
have to review the original design documents, determine if comparable replacement
equipment is available, and test the existing wiring to come up with an accurate repair
estimate.
Instead of replacing the RTM, the City should consider upgrading the control panel at the
main lift station. Regardless of whether the treatment system is replace, upgraded, or
operated as is, upgrading the control panel would provide much better data acquisition
without making frequent visits to the site. We would estimate an upgraded panel at the lift
station be about $12,000 installed, which would include telemetry features. Without the
telemetry features the cost would roughly be half. We understand the City is currently
replacing the pumps and controls for their "Downtown" system, and panel costs included in
those bids should be comparable.

4.3 SYSTEM EXPANSION
With flows during the summer months already averaging 7,500 to 8,000 gallons per day over
14 to 30 day periods, it seems likely that the peak daily flow is already over 10,000 gallons
per day. In our opinion, designing any upgrade for a flow less than 10,000 gallons per day
would be short sighted and would be unlikely to pass regulatory scrutiny. As previously
noted, expanding the system to provide additional capacity at or above 10,000 gallons per
day would require a SDS Permit, and the permit fee is near►y $10,000. The costs to
construct, operate, and maintain an upgraded system would depend not only on the
technology used to achieve the increased capacity, but also on the permit conditions and
fees imposed by the State. It is difficult to estimate those costs at this time, but annual O&M
costs could easily exceed $10,000 with monthly reporting and groundwater monitoring.
The approximate costs of expanding the system the serve all of the properties along the
collection has been presented in the sections above. A feasibili#y study would more
accurately predict these costs for the City's consideration. At#his time there are too many
variables for use to accurately predict the total cost of a capacity upgrade, but it certainly
appears that pre-treating effluent and utilizing the existing drainfield for disposal would
produce the best value. �&M costs would depend on which technology is employed and the
operating permit conditions.

5.0 DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS
The Anderson/Erickson collection system has been expanded to provide potential service
connections to about 15 additional properties; however the treatment system has no capacity to
accept the proposed flows. Arguably the system is already being overloaded and there are
numerous seasonal properties already connected to the system that could convert to year round
use and further overload the system. Given the current conditions, we recommend no additional
connections to the system at this time.
The system was designed in 1986 in accordance with the standards applied at the time.
Currently, Minnesota Rules Chapter 7080 and 7081 provide prescriptive standards for sewage
treatment. Systems built in accordance with these standards are presumed to provide adequate
sewage treatment. Systems built and/or operated outside of these guidelines are typically
required to demonstrate that they provide and acceptable level of sewage treatment. Applying
today's prescriptive treatment standards to the system, each of the three drainfield calls would
be assumed to provide treatment for 1507 to 1809 gallons of wastewater per day, depending on
whether it was bedded in silt loam or loamy fine sand. If the entire drainfield system were to be
used simultaneously, it would be presumed to provide treatment for 4521 to 5427 gallons per
day. Of course these prescriptive treatment standards also assume that there is also at least
two feet of unsaturated soil beneath the system at all times. Given an average loading rate of
5600 gallons per day to one cell over the past year, soil saturation seems likely and treatment is
in question. Monitoring wells are already present at the site, and depending on whether they
were installed in meaningful locations, it might be possible to demonstrate that the system is
currently treating sewage by demonstrating that it is not impacting groundwater. Conversely,
sampling the wells may demonstrate that the system is negatively impacting groundwater
quality thus precipitating a need for additional action.
Based on our review of the information provided, it appears that the City has been
contemplating the capacity of the system and possible upgrades to the system for many years.
It appears that no action has been taken primarily due to financial considerations. If the goal of
the City is to allow additional connections to the system and eventually reduce the number of
private individual systems, financing for the improvements needs to be addressed and pursued
as soon as possible to provide a plan for future demands of the residents identified within the
potential service area of the system.
We understand users are charged approximately$55 per month and the current hook up fee is
currently$4,250. Going forward, the City may want to consider the actual value of the system
to the users. For example, if someone were to build a mound system on their property to serve
a 5 bedroom house, it would be more than 100 feet long, more than 45 feet wide, and cost more
than $20,000 to construct. Even if that much room were available on a lot, the presence of such
a dramatic landscape feature would be objectionable to most people. Therefore it seems
reasonable that both new and current users pay for the actual value of the system. If the hook
up and service fee are adjusted additional revenue can be generated to provide better
maintenance of the system and eventually provide financing to replace the system.

Not being able to predict the rate of future new connections or not having the time for additional
funds to accumulate by a increase in the monthly service fee the City may want to look at
alternative financing options to have improvements completed before future connection
requests are made.
Alternative financing options could be provided through the General Tax Levy or Special
Assessments. Minnesota cities are required by law to hold a yearly public hearing to receive
comments on the types of services proposed for the upcoming year, as well as the associated
costs. These public hearings are referred to as Truth-in-Taxation hearings. The proposed
budget and proposed property tax levy and their percentage increases from the current year
levels are typically discussed at the hearing. The Anderson/Erickson System would therefore be
addressed as part of the budget preparation process. The main advantage of using funds from
the general fund is that justification of direct benefit of a particular project to a property is not
required. A major disadvantage is that priorities can change rapidly and dedicated funding may
prove difficult to rely on from year to year, or even be inadequate. Special assessments are an
indirect form of taxation. They are a way for cities to charge certain properties for the cost of
making a local improvement, or to collect certain charges that will benefit those properties.
Cities may use special assessments to recover the cost of public improvements if the city has
adopted an ordinance to provide for it. The amount that is charged to a particular property must
be based upon the benefit that the property will receive from the improvement. Cities cannot
charge an amount greater than the amount the benefit will increase the value of the properry.
There are many advantages to using special assessments as a funding source. They are a
means of raising money outside the general city tax resources. Special assessment bonds do
not count towards statutory debt limitations. They provide a means of levying charges for public
services against properties otherwise exempt from taxation. Perhaps the chief value of special
assessments is that by charging the property owner for the benefit received, they prevent or
minimize the possibility that a property owner will benefit from the improvement at the expense
of the general taxpayer.

Preface
Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas. They
highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information about
the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for many
different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban planners,
community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers.Also,
conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste disposal,
and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand,protect,or enhance
the environment.
Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose
special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil properties
that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions.The information
is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of soil limitations on
various land uses.The landowner or user is responsible for identifying and complying
with existing laws and regulations.
Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area
planning,onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some cases.
Examples include soil quality assessments (http %isoils usda.gov/sqi/)and certain
conservation and engineering applications. For more detailed information, contact
your local USDA Service Center(http //offices.sc.ego�.usda gov/locator/app?
agency=nres) or your NRCS State Soil Scientist(http /%soils.usda gov/contact/
state_offices/).
Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are
seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a
foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey orwet soils are poorly suited to use as septic
tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to basements or
underground installations.
The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States Department
of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural
Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation
Service(NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil
S u rvey.
Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available
through the NRCS Soil Data Mart Web site or the NRCS Web Soil Survey. The Soil
Data Mart is the data storage site for the official soil survey information.
The U.S. Department ofAgriculture(USDA)prohibits discrimination in all its programs
and activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, and where
applicable, sex, marital status, familial status, parental status, religion, sexual
orientation,genetic information, political beliefs, reprisal,or because all or a part of an
individual's income is derived from any public assistance program. (Not all prohibited
bases apply to all programs.) Persons with disabilities who require alternative means

Map Unit Descriptions
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the soils
or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along with the
maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more
major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named
according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils.On the landscape,
however,the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability
of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend
beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic
class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic
classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas
for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes
other than those of the major soils.
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the
map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called
noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a
particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties
and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different
management.These are called contrasting,or dissimilar,components.They generally
are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used.
Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified
by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a given area, the
contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit descriptions along with
some characteristics of each.A few areas of minor components may not have been
observed, and consequently they are not mentioned in the descriptions, especially
where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make enough observations
to identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the landscape.
8
Custom Soil Resource Report
The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness
or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure taxonomic
classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that
have similar use and management requirements. The delineation of such segments
on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If
intensive use of small areas is planned, however, onsite investigation is needed to
define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.
An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions. Each
description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil properties
and qualities.
Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for
differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major horizons
that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement.
Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity,
degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the basis of such
differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas shown on the
detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase commonly
indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha silt loam, 0
to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series.
Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.
These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups.
A comp/ex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate
pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps.The
pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar in all
areas.Alpha-Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example.
An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or
miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present or
anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered practical
or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The pattern and
relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar. Alpha-
Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas that
could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar
interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion of
the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can be
made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made up
of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil material
and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.

Soil Information for All Uses
Suitabilities and Limitations for Use
The Suitabilities and Limitations for Use section includes various soil interpretations
displayed as thematic maps with a summary table for the soil map units in the selected
area of interest.A single value or rating for each map unit is generated by aggregating
the interpretive ratings of individual map unit components. This aggregation process
is defined for each interpretation.
Sanitary Facilities
Sanitary Facilities interpretations are tools designed to guide the user in site selection
for the safe disposal of sewage and solid waste.Example interpretations include septic
tank absorption fields, sewage lagoons, and sanitary landfills.
Aquifer Assessment (MN)
The Aquifer Assessment interpretation uses soil properties as a proxy to predict the
presence of a sensitive surficial aquifer. Soil properties considered include the te�ure
in the bottom horizon, the presence of bedrock, and the classification of organic soils
(Histosols). The Aquifer Assessment interpretation is associated with the"desktop"
evaluation of large individual sewage treatment systems to predict aquifer vulnerability
and the potential risk of nitrogen impacting the aquifer. Regulatory requirements for
large individual sewage treatment systems (flow greater than 2,500 gallons per day)
are found in Minnesota Rule Chapter 7080.
The ratings are both verbal and numerical. Soils are assigned to rating classes based
on their degree of risk. These classes are"not sensitive" (rating index of 0.00) and
"sensitive" (rating index of 1.00).
The components listed for each map unit in the accompanying Summary by Map Unit
table in Web Soil Survey or the Aggregation Report in Soil Data Viewer are determined
by the aggregation method chosen.An aggregated rating class is shown for each map
unit.The components listed for each map unit are only those that have the same rating
class as the one shown for the map unit.The percent composition of each component
in a particular map unit is given to help the user better understand the extent to which
the rating applies to the map unit.
16
Custom Soil Resource Report
Other components with different ratings may occur in each map unit. The ratings for
all components, regardless the aggregated rating of the map unit, can be viewed by
generating the equivalent report from the Soil Reports tab in Web Soil Survey or from
the Soil Data Mart site. Onsite investigation may be needed to validate these
interpretations and to confirm the identity of the soil on a given site.

Septic Tank Absorption Fields — Trench (MN)
Trench septic tank absorption fields are areas in which effluent from a septic tank is
distributed into the soil through perforated pipe. In this system the drain field is placed
in a trench and covered with soil material.The ratings are based on the soil properties
that affect absorption of the effluent,construction and maintenance of the system,and
public health. Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) is evaluated from a depth of 30
to 107 centimeters. Depth to saturation and depth to bedrock are evaluated from the
20
Custom Soil Resource Report
surface to a depth of 203 centimeters. The frequency of ponding and flooding also is
evaluated. Excessive slope may cause lateral seepage and surfacing of the effluent
in downslope areas.
The ratings are both verbal and numerical. Rating class terms indicate the extent to
which the soils are limited by all of the soil features that affect this use. "Not limited"
indicates that the soil has features that are very favorable for the specified use. Good
performance and very low maintenance can be expected. "Slightly limited" indicates
that the soil has features that are favorable for the specified use. "Moderately limited"
indicates that the soil has features that are moderately favorable for the specified use.
The limitations can be overcome or minimized by special planning, design, or
installation. Good performance and moderate maintenance can be expected. "Very
limited" indicates that the soil has one or more features that are unfavorable for the
specified use.The limitations generally cannot be overcome without special design or
expensive installation procedures. "Extremely limited" indicates that the soil has one
or more features that are very unfavorable for the specified use. The limitations
generally cannot be overcome.
Numerical ratings indicate the severity of individual limitations.The ratings are shown
as decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They indicate gradations between the
point at which a soil feature has the greatest negative impact on the use (1.00) and
the point at which the soil feature is not a limitation (0.00).
The components listed for each map unit in the accompanying Summary by Map Unit
table in Web Soil Survey or the Aggregation Report in Soil Data Viewer are determined
by the aggregation method chosen.An aggregated rating class is shown for each map
unit.The components listed for each map unit are only those that have the same rating
class as the one shown for the map unit.The percent composition of each component
in a particular map unit is given to help the user better understand the extent to which
the rating applies to the map unit.
Other components with different ratings may occur in each map unit. The ratings for
all components, regardless the aggregated rating of the map unit, can be viewed by
generating the equivalent report from the Soil Reports tab in Web Soil Survey or from
the Soil Data Mart site. Onsite investigation may be needed to validate these
interpretations and to confirm the identity of the soil on a given site.

Septic Tank Absorption Fields — Mound (MN)
"Mound septic tank absorption fields"are areas in which effluent from a septic tank is
distributed into the soil surface through perforated pipe. In this system the drain field
is placed above the soil surface in a mound. The ratings are based on the soil
properties that affect absorption of the effluent, construction and maintenance of the
system, and public health. Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) is evaluated from
the surface to a depth of 30 centimeters. Depth to saturation and depth to bedrock are
evaluated from the surface to a depth of 203 centimeters. The frequency of ponding
and flooding also is evaluated. Excessive slope may cause lateral seepage and
surfacing of the effluent in downslope areas.
The ratings are both verbal and numerical. Rating class terms indicate the extent to
which the soils are limited by all of the soil features that affect the specified use. "Not
limited" indicates that the soil has features that are very favorable for the specified
use. Good performance and very low maintenance can be expected. "Slightly limited"
indicates that the soil has features that are favorable for the specified use."Moderately
limited" indicates that the soil has features that are moderately favorable for the
specified use. The limitations can be overcome or minimized by special planning,
design, or installation. Good performance and moderate maintenance can be
expected. "Very limited" indicates that the soil has one or more features that are
unfavorable for the specified use. The limitations generally cannot be overcome
without special design or expensive installation procedures. "Extremely limited"
indicates that the soil has one or more features that are very unfavorable for the
specified use. The limitations generally cannot be overcome.
Numerical ratings indicate the severity of individual limitations.The ratings are shown
as decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They indicate gradations between the
point at which a soil feature has the greatest negative impact on the use (1.00) and
the point at which the soil feature is not a limitation (0.00).
The components listed for each map unit in the accompanying Summary by Map Unit
table in Web Soil Survey or the Aggregation Report in Soil Data Viewer are determined
by the aggregation method chosen.An aggregated rating class is shown for each map
unit.The components listed for each map unit are only those that have the same rating
class as the one shown for the map unit.The percent composition of each component
in a particular map unit is given to help the user better understand the extent to which
the rating applies to the map unit.
Other components with different ratings may occur in each map unit. The ratings for
all components, regardless the aggregated rating of the map unit, can be viewed by
generating the equivalent report from the Soil Reports tab in Web Soil Survey or from
the Soil Data Mart site. Onsite investigation may be needed to validate these
interpretations and to confirm the identity of the soil on a given site.
