This is the first step in a multi-year process to complete the Floodplain Risk Assessment. ➢ Application #3 was not awarded. ➢ Application #4 is due on December 14th, 2023. ➢ The 2024 CMSCWD budget includes funding to address model data gaps for the Big Marine Lake outlet, Carnelian Channel, and Carnelian Creek flowages.

This was an important step to improve the watershed’s model for planning and future maintenance. ➢ A location map for this channel has been provided at the end of this report. • Bliss Addition Stormwater Planning ➢ Watershed still working toward 90% plans based on City Staff input received in November 2022. ➢ City and Watershed have completed the MOU. ➢ Watershed/Consultants redesigning project practices after a final utility meet locate identified previously un - marked conflicts. ➢ Due to delays caused by utilities not marked on the initial locate, the CMSCWD will delay construction to 2024. Upon completion of the final plans, submittals will be prepared to the City for their review. CMSCWD anticipates soliciting bids in October 2023. ➢ Revised plans were submitted to the City and review comments were sent back to the Watershed District on January 5, 2024. ➢ Bid Opening was held on April 2nd, 2024 (Abstract of Bid Results at the end of this update). ➢ Council chose to accept the Base Bid for this Project at the April 16th Council Meeting, and award the project to the lowest bidder, Dresel Contracting, Inc. • Bliss Drainfield System ➢ The final permit has been issued. The assumption is that we’ll end up on Track 2, with required system improvements due to the nitrate issue. Only thing that needs to take place in the next 6 months (February 28, 2022) is for new flow meters to be installed at the system, something we’ll begin working on. At the one year mark (September 1, 2022), we’ll need to have a Facility Evaluation Report drafted to summarize the system’s ability or inability to meet the nitrate limit. ➢ New flow meters were installed by Public Works at the beginning of 2022 and specific flows to the three drainfield cells is now being monitored. Some additional nitrate testing was also performed in August 2022 to provide additional data points and to get an idea of how much nutrient removal is currently taking place through the sand filters. ➢ As of September 1, 2022, the Facility Evaluation Report has been sent to the MPCA. We await their review, but based on the monitoring well samples taken throughout the last year it appears we’ll be on Track 2, with improvements to the system needed to deal with the nitrate issue. Assuming this is the case, the next step will be to complete a full Facility Plan by August of 2023 which evaluates the facility and its performance as a whole and provides options/recommendations for improvements to be made. This is required by Track 2 but is also the next step in obtaining PFA funding for the project. ➢ We met with MPCA on December 16, 2022 to discuss funding options and laid out a schedule to complete a facility plan and apply for Point Source Implementation Grant (PSIG) funding. ➢ City Council authorized work to complete the facility plan on January 4, 2023. Facility plan to be submitted by March 3, 2023. Also, Council authorized BMI to complete permit documents for permit modification due to added treatment for nitrate removal. ➢ Testified at the Capitol on Wednesday, March 1, 2023 requesting funding for the Bliss Wastewater Treatment Facility. ➢ Facility plan has been submitted for the City of Scandia’s Bliss Wastewater Treatment Facility along with and IUP request and PPL application to the Minnesota Public Facilities Authority on Friday, March 3, 2023. As of June 22, the MPCA has issued preliminary approval of this facility plan. ➢ Authorization to prepare plans & specifications for the Bliss Wastewater Treatment Facility Nitrogen Removal improvements was requested and approved at the May 16 City Council meeting. ➢ Project plans and specifications are currently being prepared. ➢ 2024 Capital Bonding Request application has been prepared. ➢ PSIG Funding application was submitted at the end of July (2023). Received follow-up questions from the MPCA and responses were sent at the end of August (2023). ➢ City should have gone before the MN House Capital Improvement Committee on 11/14 to present this project with the goal of obtaining direct bonding money (another source of funding being pursued). ➢ City review period for draft MPCA SDS permit ended on 4/5; the public comment period has begun and will continue through 6/17. ➢ Initial review comments have been received from the MPCA and responses returned. ➢ Depending on multiple other factors, we’ll likely be re-applying for PSIG (Point Source Implementation Grant) by the end of July (deadline), as if obtained this could fund up to 80% of project. ➢ Plans and specifications were submitted for MPCA review at the end of March. ➢ Initial comments/questions have been received from the MPCA and responded to. We are working on meeting their requests. ➢ The application for PFA funding has been submitted as of mid-April by Bolton & Menk and on the city’s behalf, and receipt acknowledged. ➢ Response has been received on the environmental review of the project and the DNR has identified the site as potential nesting land for Blanding’s Turtles. We are working to address the requirements associated with this in addition to the other revisions. ➢ The goal is for the project to be certified by the end of June for the schedule to remain on- track. • Highway 243 Osceola Bridge ➢ Project website: http://www.dot.state.mn.us/metro/projects/hwy243osceola/index.html ➢ Public Meeting scheduled for May 10, 2023, 5:00pm-7:00pm at the Osceola Village Board Room ➢ Schedule: o Environmental documentation and preliminary design: 2022 through 2024 o Final design: 2024 through 2026 o Anticipated construction: 2026 through 2029 • The bridge is anticipated to be closed sometime in 2027 through 2028. The duration of this closure is being considered during alternative detour evaluations. ➢ Project website has been updated with a location plan showing the extents of the work. The project will span the distance between TH 95 and TH 35. ➢ Traffic Impacts are currently under review, and potential detour plans are being developed. o See the project website for up-to-date figures.

Hand Auger Borings in off street locations will be completed earlier prior to snowfall. o AET has been instructed to not begin any work on site until after December 19th. Once approval has been received, AET will begin hand auger borings (HABs) and then drill rig soil borings (SBs) a few weeks after. ➢ AET began collecting hand auger borings (HABs) from December 22nd - 26th, and soil borings on December 26th - 29th. ➢ Soil samples are currently being analyzed and logged. ➢ A Geotechnical report is anticipated to be received the week of 3/18 - 3/22. ➢ Figures/layouts are being created to discuss with City staff on 3/19. ➢ DNR comments have been received and are being implemented into the figures/layouts. ➢ The next design review meeting with City Staff and the DNR is scheduled for Tuesday, May 21st at 1:00pm.
