7. Regular Agenda:
A. Consideration of adopting Resolution #2014-008 approving a detour agreement
with MnDOT for detouring traffic on Chelsea Road in conjunction with the I-94
reconstruction project
Shibani Bisson introduced Claudia Dumont and other MnDOT representatives
that were present to talk about this agenda item. Shibani Bisson provided an
overview of the I-94 reconstruction between CSAH 18 and TH 25 interchanges
taking place this year. Shibani Bisson noted that on Tuesday, February 11th a
presentation is planned for the IEDC and community businesses. She turned it
over to Claudia Dumont for a presentation. Claudia Dumont talked about the
need for the project and planned improvements to reconstruct into the center
median, install raised concrete barrier between eastbound (EB) and westbound
(WB) lanes, install storm sewer to drain median, replace all pavement between
interchanges, reconstruct ramps at TH 25, add wide inside shoulders, add WB
auxiliary lane between CSAH 18 and TH 25, separate EB loop and ramp from
mainline I-94 with a concrete barrier, and build a noise barrier on north side of I-
94 at Bluffs apartments. Clint Herbst asked about the size of the noise barrier,
which will be 20 feet high and 800 feet long. Glen Posusta asked about the
barrier construction; Claudia discussed the design which will use concrete and
wood. Tom Perrault asked if the barrier would take into account the future Fallon
Avenue overpass. Claudia said that is incorporated into the design.
City Council Minutes – February 10, 2014 Page 4
Claudia Dumont talked about the construction project and what to expect, such as
a 55 mph work zone, four lanes of traffic open during daytime with single lane
closures at night during stages 1 and 4, WB off ramp at CSAH 18 open at all
times, EB on ramp at CSAH 18 open at all times, and orange business signage
will be in place. The project was awarded to Shafer Construction in January;
construction is expected to start April 1st and end by November 1st.
Claudia Dumont went through the construction staging: Stage 1 will consist of
night work, single lane closures, building crossovers between EB and WB, and
widening of shoulders. Stage 2 will switch traffic to EB lanes and close WB on-
loop from CSAH 18 for the entire project. WB off-ramp at TH 25 will be closed
to reconstruct the access and add a turn lane. WB on-ramp from TH 25 will be
detoured to Hasty for about 30 days and ramp and loop from TH 25 to EB I-94
will be closed. During this stage, the contractor will build new WB lanes and
shoulders and install the storm sewer and raised median barrier. Glen Posusta
asked why the WB on-ramp at CSAH 18 will be closed for the duration. Claudia
Dumont explained that this is for traffic flow and safety as there is no good way to
move entering vehicles into the appropriate lanes during construction.
Stage 3 will switch all traffic to WB lanes to reconstruct the EB lanes. Ramps
from EB I-94 to TH 25 and CSAH 18 will be closed but not at the same time and
ramp from TH 25 to WB I-94 is open. The contractor builds new EB lanes and
installs barrier separating the TH 25 loop and ramp from EB I-94.
Stage 4 will be the wrap-up when the crossovers will be removed and lanes
reopened. The noise barrier construction will be dependent on the contractor’s
schedule. This is a federal mandate and the state must look at barrier placements
on projects like this. Claudia Dumont discussed the process involved in studying
the noise impacts. The only site that qualified for a barrier was in the vicinity of
the Bluffs and noted that the owner and residents voted in favor of constructing
the barrier.
As part of the project, Council is asked to approve a detour agreement using
Chelsea Road as a temporary state trunk highway. MnDOT will perform
necessary patching and ordinary maintenance on the detour route. With the
agreement, the city will receive compensation for use of Chelsea Road based on a
formula. The project is expected to begin in April, dependent on the weather and
road restrictions.
Claudia Dumont introduced J.P. Gillach, public affairs coordinator, and Kirk
Allen, construction project manager for MnDOT. J.P. Gillach addressed Council
to review the communication plans for the project. Public meetings are scheduled
for February 11 (IEDC), March 3 (public meeting), and March 18 (Chamber of
Commerce luncheon). There will also be a public open house scheduled when it
is closer to the beginning of the project. Gillach provided a link to the project
website and noted that people are urged to subscribe to email updates from
City Council Minutes – February 10, 2014 Page 5
MnDOT. Clint Herbst asked that they consider putting information on the
highway signs to alert the general public that use the freeway, especially during
high traffic days such as the 4th of July. Gillach displayed a copy of the webpage
that will maintain up to date information about the reconstruction project. Gillach
also recommended that the city provide links on our website to link to MnDOT.
Shibani Bisson noted that they have discussed emergency vehicle access to the
freeway and accommodations have been made for that.
Tom Perrault asked if the city could put information on Channel 12 about the
project and information for people to sign up for email updates. Claudia Dumont
noted that they will be signing up people for updates during the presentation
tomorrow (February 11th).
Jeff O’Neill asked Kirk Allen about patrolling on the detour route. Allen
confirmed that the State Highway Patrol would be monitoring traffic on the detour
route since it will be considered a state trunk highway.
Jeff O’Neill asked about drainage plans for storm sewer and runoff downstream.
Claudia Dumont explained the plans for runoff to be directed to ditch ponds.
Dan Lemm, 8 Linn Street, commented on the project and asked for consideration
for those residents that do not have email or electronic access to information so
they have a means of receiving updates.
Claudia Dumont added some comments about traffic expectations and made some
comparisons to the 2013 project from Clearwater to St. Cloud. The impacts to
traffic will be greater in the Monticello area but two lanes each way will be kept
open during the daytime.
Tom Perrault asked about any temporary traffic controls along Chelsea Road.
Kirk Allen said they do not have any planned currently, but will be monitoring
that continuously as the project progresses. They will make adjustments for
traffic control as needed. He also noted that there will be electronic message
boards at either end of the project route along the freeway that will keep the
public informed.
BRIAN STUMPF MOVED FOR ALTERNATIVE #1 TO ADOPT
RESOLUTION #2014-008 APPROVING DETOUR AGREEMENT #05154
WITH MNDOT FOR DETOURING TRAFFIC ON CHELSEA ROAD IN
CONJUNCTION WITH THE I-94 RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT. LLOYD
HILGART SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED 5-0.
8. Added items
City Council Minutes – February 10, 2014 Page 6
Innsbruck Lane and Park Place Drive bush trimming – Brian Stumpf reported that
the bushes at the northwest corner of the intersection need to be trimmed to
improve the sight lines at that intersection. Brian Stumpf also noted a 3-hour
outage in that area of town over the weekend, and a resident had complained
about ongoing power surges in recent weeks. Brian Stumpf noted that this is
related to Xcel Energy and not the city.
Wastewater Treatment Facility Upgrades memo – Clint Herbst expressed his
concerns about the WWTF update report that was provided to Council and asked
for an explanation. Shibani Bisson briefed Council on the dewatering tests that
are being done and noted that this is part of the sludge dewatering project
contract. The issue occurring with the odors in the Administration building is
being investigated by Veolia.

A RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING ADOPTION OF A
ZONING AMENDMENT RELATING TO NON-CONFORMITIES,
SECTION 6.2 OF THE MONTICELLO ZONING ORDINANCE
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds that the zoning ordinance is in need of
amendment to address the treatment of non-conformities; and
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes Section 463.357 define the limits of City authorit y in
regulation of non-conformities; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 11, 2014 on the
application and members of the public were provided the opportunity to present information
to the Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has considered all of the comments and the staff
report, which are incorporated by reference into the resolution; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Monticello makes the following
Findings of Fact in relation to the recommendation of approval:
1. The zoning ordinance is inconsistent with the limitations and regulations of State law

provided such expansion is consistent with other zoning regulations.
4. The proposed amendments best reflect the City’s policies toward the treatment of
non-conformities.

ordinance identified as Ordinance No. 590

5G. Consideration of extending the Public Works Director interim assignments and
compensation for an additional six months (JO/TE)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
City Council is asked to consider approving an extension of the Public Works Director
interim assignments and compensation for an additional six months. On August 26,
2013, Council approved an interim plan to assign the responsibilities of the former Public
Works Director to existing staff. The purpose of the interim assignments was to allow
time for the city to assess the Public Works Director workload and to formulate a longer
term recommendation for the position. Over the past six months, staff have stepped up
and have done a fabulous job working together to provide coverage where needed. Staff
met earlier this month to review the responsibilities and check in with all affected
employees to get their input on how things have been going for the past six months. The
feedback from staff was very positive, but there was some hesitation to formulate a
longer term recommendation after just six months. Staff thinks that extending the interim
position an additional six months due to the cyclical nature of the responsibilities would
make sense and allow for a more accurate assessment of the workload.
A1. Budget Impact: The additional compensation if approved for extension is
$20,000 and is within budget. Compensation for the six month interim
assignments are as follows:
Water and Sewer Superintendent: $5,000; $384.61 per pay period
Streets Superintendent: $5,000; $384.61 per pay period
Parks Superintendent: $5,000; $384.61 per pay period
City Administrator: $2,500; $192.30 per pay period
Finance Director: $2,500; $192.30 per pay period
WSB will be covered under the annual retainer
A2. Staff Workload Impact: As part of the interim plan, the Public Works Director
responsibilities have been distributed to existing staff creating an additional
workload. According to staff, the increased workload is manageable for an
additional six months.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. Motion to approve extending the Public Works Director interim assignments and
compensation for an additional six months.
2. Motion to deny extending the Public Works Director interim assignments and
compensation for an additional six months and provide direction to staff
accordingly.
City Council Agenda: 02/24/2014
2
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff, along with the Personnel Committee, recommends Alternative #1 extending the
interim assignments for an additional six months. At the end of the six month period,
staff is confident they will have sufficient information to formulate a longer term
recommendation for the position.

9. Consideration of adopting Ordinance #582 approving a zoning text amendment to
Title 10, Monticello Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 4, Section 13(E) adding Wireless
Telecommunications Service Antennae and Antenna Support Structures as
accessory uses on publicly owned property by Conditional Use Permit, approving a
Conditional Use Permit for antenna support structure in a R-2 (Single and Two-
Family Residential) District, and approving a Conditional Use Permit for co-
location of a wireless telecommunication service antenna. Applicant: City of
Monticello and Verizon Wireless (NAC)
Property: 909 Golf Course Road
Legal Description: Lengthly legal (refer to application materials)
Planning Case Number: 2013-026
REFERENCE & BACKGROUND
Request(s): Amendment related to wireless telecommunication service
antennae and support structure requirements and
Conditional Use Permit to allow an antenna support
structure greater than 35 feet in height in an R-2, Single and
Two-Family Residence District. Two Conditional Use
Permits under the proposed ordinance – one for
construction of an antenna support structure (tower) and a
second CUP for the co-location of an antenna array for a
separate user (Verizon Wireless) on the proposed tower.
Deadline for Decision: October 6. 2013 (60 days)
Land Use Designation: Places to Live
Zoning Designation: R-2, Single and Two-Family Residence District
The purpose of the "R-2" Single and Two-family
Residential District is to provide for low to moderate
density one and two unit dwellings and directly related
complementary uses.
Current Site Use: The subject site is currently occupied by the City of
Monticello’s public works facility.
Surrounding Land Uses:
North: Institutional (Pinewood Elementary school), zoned A-O,
Agricultural Open Space

Project Description: The City of Monticello wishes to erect a 199 foot high
antenna support structure (tower) upon its public works
facility site located at 909 Golf Course Road. The structure
is to be a monopole design. Antenna affixed to the support
structure will be used for public/quasi-public purposes
including public safety communications, the “Fibernet”
project, and to provide lease space to private wireless
communication companies (initially forVerizon Wireless).
The site is zoned R-2, Single and Two-Family Residential
which presently does not make an allowance for wireless
telecommunications antenna support structures.
To accommodate the request, three separate approvals are
necessary. First, the City Zoning Ordinance must be
amended to allow antenna support structures upon
residentially zoned properties which are devoted to
governmental uses (subject to various conditions).
Secondly, a conditional use permit which is specific to the
construction of the tower on the subject property must be
processed and approved. Finally, a conditional use permit
must be issued for Verizon’s occupancy on the tower.
Planning Commission Recommendation:
The Planning Commission considered these items at their regular meeting on September
3, 2013. At the public hearing held as a part of the review, there were two neighboring
property owners present, one of which expressed opposition to the concept due to
potential impacts and safety, and the other who expressed support based on his belief that
the City would be able to manage the proposed project in a positive manner based on past
experience with the City and Public Works site.
The Commission discussed the various aspects of the proposal, noting primarily that the
taller tower would help to minimize the prospect of other towers locating in the area for
wireless services since they would be able to co-locate on the proposed City tower. The
Commission also noted that the City and other public services would be able to locate on
the tower, providing a potential benefit to the community for communications and public
safety.
City Council Agenda - 9/09/13
3
Following a discussion of the amendment and each of the two Conditional Use Permits,
the Commission voted to recommend each of the three applications for approval. The
vote on each of the three applications was 4-1 in favor, with the “no” vote being cast in
opposition to the idea of placing such towers in residential areas. The Exhibit Z
conditions were added to the Planning Commission’s recommendations on each of the
two Conditional Use Permits.
Ordinance Requirements: Presently, antenna support structures for wireless
telecommunications are not allowed in the City’s residential zoning districts. The
proposed amendment would make an allowance for such structures on residentially zoned
property (specifically, the R-2 zoning district) but only if such property is devoted to a
“public” use.
As part of such amendment, it is also important to include reasonable parameters on such
an allowance as well as provide an opportunity for public input. In this regard, support
structure heights above the district limit (35 feet) are proposed to be subject to
conditional use permit processing.
Once the mechanism to process the request is created, conditional use permits applicable
to the subject property could then be processed.
ORDINANCE AMENDMENT
Telecommunication towers and antennae are regulated by Section 4.13 of the Zoning
Ordinance. In this regard, the intent of such provisions is as follows:
(1) Minimize adverse visual effects of towers through careful design, landscaping, and
siting standards.
(2) Avoid potential damage to adjacent properties from tower failure and weather related
occurrences through structural standards and setback requirements;
(3) Maximize the use of existing and approved towers and buildings to accommodate
new telecommunication antennas in order to reduce the number of towers needed to
serve the community;
(4) Utilize business, industrial and public land, buildings and structures for
telecommunications whenever possible and/or appropriate;
(5) Provide for the appropriate location and development of towers and antennas to
accommodate the communication needs of the residents and businesses within the
City of Monticello;
City Council Agenda - 9/09/13
4
To make an allowance for the proposed antenna support structure (tower), Section
4.13(E) of the Ordinance addressing wireless telecommunications service antennae
support structures needs to be amended. In this regard, the following language (to allow
such structures upon residentially zoning properties which are devoted to public uses) is
proposed:
b. Support structures for personal wireless service antenna shall be considered a
permitted accessory use upon residentially zoned lots occupied by governmental
uses, subject to the following provisions:
(i) The site upon which the antenna support structure is located is
occupied by a principal structure.
(ii) Antenna support structures which exceed the maximum height
requirements of the residential zoning district in which the antenna
support structure is located shall be allowed only by conditional use
permit.
(iii) In no case shall an antenna support structure exceed one hundred
ninety nine (199) feet as measured from the natural grade at the
location of the structure.
(iv) Any antenna support structure shall be designed to accommodate
the co-location of other antenna arrays.
(v) Any freestanding antenna support structure shall be of monopole
design.
(vi) All freestanding antenna support structures for personal wireless
services shall be treated with a galvanized light-grey color.
(vii) The provisions of Section 4.13(F) of this Chapter are satisfied.
As noted above, the proposed amendment would establish wireless service antenna
support structures as a permitted use upon R-2 zoned properties which are devoted to
public uses. When the original personal wireless antenna/tower regulations were written,
the objective for such towers was to restrict them to commercial and industrial locations
in the City, with the assumption that visual impacts of these towers would not be
compatible with residential areas.
The tension in tower regulation is typically one of fewer, but taller towers - with the
understanding that such towers would be able to provide service to larger areas of the
community and through co-location of several provides – as opposed to more, but shorter
towers – with the expectation that shorter towers would have less negative visual impacts
City Council Agenda - 9/09/13

on neighborhoods, even though there would need to be more such towers to provide
competitive coverage.
To effect this goal, the City prohibited towers in the residential districts, limited them to
75 feet in the commercial districts, and capped them at 150 feet in industrial areas. The
proposed tower exceeds the City’s previous height maximum, and would introduce
towers into the residential areas of the community for the first time.
To address potential compatibility concerns, the proposed ordinance limits the potential
locations to public property within the R-2 zoning district. While the City or other
governmental units may make greater efforts to ensure screening of ground equipment
and other locational aspects, it is clear that the taller towers will be visible to large areas
of the immediate residential neighborhood. As a procedural requirement, the ordinance
would establish towers which exceed the applicable district height limit (35 feet in the R-
2) only by conditional use permit processing.
The 199 foot maximum height limit is designed to avoid FAA requirements for lighting
of the top of the tower, while maximizing the possible tenants on the tower, thus limiting
the proliferation of new towers in the area.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS – 1. Antenna Support Structure
2. Verizon Wireless Co-location
The preceding amendment would establish the means by which the proposed antenna
support structure may be located upon residentially zoned properties which are devoted to
governmental uses. If approved, conditional use permits specific to the subject property
must then be processed for the tower, and for the proposed user.
CUP Evaluation Criteria
According to Section 2.4 (D)(4)(a) of the Zoning Ordinance, approval of a conditional
use permit application requires that the City find that conditions can be established to
ensure that a certain set of criteria will be met. The following is a listing of the
conditional use permit criteria:
(i) The conditional use will not substantially diminish or impair property
values within the immediate vicinity of the subject property;
Staff Comment – there have been various studies of the impact of
telecommunications towers on property values. Most are inconclusive at
best, balancing local property owner perception with enhanced
telecommunications services in the area. For the few that show negative
value impacts, the studies primarily rely on perceived value and visual
impact, rather than hard data, thus, it is difficult to rely on this factor
solely for support or opposition.
City Council Agenda - 9/09/13
6
(ii) The conditional use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, morals,
or welfare of persons residing or working near the use;
Staff Comment - the tower will be engineered to meet required safety
loads and similar engineering standards, and should not create threats to
health or safety.
(iii) The conditional use will not impede the normal and orderly development
of surrounding property for permitted uses predominant in the area;
Staff Comment – there is no evidence that the tower would disrupt orderly
development of the surrounding property. Occasionally, concerned
neighbors will raise issues of frequency interference, however, the
bandwidth and range are closely regulated by the FCC, and should not be
an issue.
(iv) The conditional use will not pose an undue burden on public utilities or
roads, and adequate sanitary facilities are provided;
Staff Comment – there should be no impact on utilities, infrastructure, or
similar related facilities. Following construction of the tower, the operator
tenants (initially, Verizon Wireless) are likely to visit the site infrequently
for maintenance. For most of each month, the site will be unoccupied.
(v) The conditional use can provide adequate parking and loading spaces,
and all storage on the site can be done in conformance with City code
requirements;
Staff Comment – there will be no extraordinary impacts on the public
works site, and the tower has been sited to avoid existing improvements in
the far east corner of the site – an otherwise generally unusable location.
The carrier equipment will be installed in weather-proof equipment
cabinets within a secure fenced enclosure.
(vi) The conditional use will not result in any nuisance including but not
limited to odor, noise, or sight pollution;
Staff Comment - this issue will require a finding that, contrary to previous
ordinance language, the tower will not have nuisance visual impacts. As
noted, these impacts have been reported in some studies, although not with
quantifiable value impacts. This specific requirement, however, does not
require that the visual impacts diminish value, only that they don’t create a
nuisance.
City Council Agenda - 9/09/13
7
(vii) The conditional use will not unnecessarily impact natural features such
as woodlands, wetlands, and shorelines; and all erosion will be properly
controlled;
Staff Comment – no natural features will be impacted by the proposed
tower.
(viii) The conditional use will adhere to any applicable additional criteria
outlined in Chapter 5 of the Ordinance for the proposed use.
Staff Comment - While value impacts cannot be verified, the primary
concern that the City will need to address is the potential visual nuisance
issue with the tower, particularly at the proposed height, could have in a
residential area. Although the site in question is public, the neighborhood
is dominated by residential uses in three directions. While such towers are
visually intrusive initially, some supporters argue that they become “part
of the landscape” over time. There is no definitive threshold for
determining whether the visual impact rises to the level of “nuisance” –
the Planning Commission and/or Council will need to consider the
evidence and make a solid finding in this regard.
Antenna Standards
In addition to the standards included in the proposed Ordinance amendment, numerous
generalized standards apply to the proposed antenna support structure as provided in
Section 4.13(E). These are addressed below:
Separation Distance. According to the Ordinance, no new freestanding antenna support
structure may be located within one mile of any existing freestanding antenna support
structure. According to the information provided by Verizon Wireless, the nearest
freestanding antenna tower of sufficient height is located in excess of two miles east of
the subject site. The need for enhanced wireless coverage in the subject area appears to
be documented through Verizon’s call/service analysis data. Thus, the separation
distance requirement of the Ordinance has been satisfied.
Co-Location. The Ordinance encourages the co-location of freestanding antennas when
opportunities exist. In this regard, the Ordinance states that no new freestanding antenna
support structure is to be approved when a co-location opportunity exists within one-half
mile of the proposed structure location.
As noted, no antenna support structures of a height necessary to accommodate reasonable
antenna functioning are located within two miles of the subject site. Thus, a co-location
opportunity does not exist within the City at the present time.
Support Structure Height. The antenna support structure is proposed to measure 199 feet
in height. In response, the draft Zoning Ordinance amendment references a maximum
City Council Agenda - 9/09/13
8
199 foot structure height allowance. To be noted is that a maximum height requirement
of 75 feet currently applies in the City’s commercial zoning districts and a 150 foot
requirement is applied in industrial zoning districts. In this regard, the proposed antenna
support structure height allowance is greater than that presently allowed elsewhere in the
City.
The acceptability of the proposed structure height is considered a policy matter to be
determined by City Officials.
Support Structure Appearance. According to the Ordinance, antenna support structures
must be finished a light-grey or galvanized color. As a condition of CUP approval, the
submitted tower elevation should be modified to specify tower color.
Setbacks. According to the Ordinance, antenna support structures and any appurtenant
structures must comply with the minimum setback requirements of the district in which
the proposed structure is to be located, or the distance determined as the fall zone of the
structure by a licensed professional engineer, whichever is greater. The existing
Ordinance further notes that no freestanding antenna support structure may be
located within 250 feet of an existing residence.
As shown on the site plan, the support structure is proposed to be located 57 feet from the
south lot line and 31 feet from the northeast lot line.
Information related to the support structure fall zone and separation distance from nearby
dwellings has not been provided. From aerial photography, it would appear that the
proposed tower would be within 150 feet or so of residential property south of the
proposed site. Thus, language is included with the amendment that would exempt towers
on public property from this provision.
With regard to fall zone, it is a general design standard that such towers are (1)
engineered to withstand environmental conditions that preclude the possibility of a fall,
and (2) in any event, are designed to collapse on themselves, rather than threaten
adjoining property. It is expected that the proposed tower will meet these standards.
Design and Construction. As a condition of CUP approval, the following design and
construction standards, as provided by the Section 4.13(F) of the Ordinance, should be
satisfied:
(a) No advertising or identification of any kind intended to be visible from the
ground or other structures is permitted, except applicable warning and
equipment information signage required by the manufacturer or by Federal,
State, or local authorities.
(b) All antennae, antenna support structures, and accessory structures shall be in
compliance with all City and State Building Codes, as applicable, and shall
obtain all necessary permits.
City Council Agenda - 9/09/13
9
(c) Structure design, mounting and installation of the antenna and antenna support
structure shall be in compliance with the manufacture’s specifications, and
installation plans shall be approved and certified by a licensed professional
engineer.
(d) Antenna support structures and antennae shall be grounded for protection
against a direct strike by lightning and shall comply, as to electrical wiring
and connections, with all applicable provisions of all State Codes.
(e) All transmitting, receiving and switching equipment shall be housed within a
structure or cabinet whenever possible and shall adhere to the following:
(i) If a new tower accessory building is necessary to house such equipment,
it shall be architecturally designed to blend in with the surrounding environment,
and shall be screened from view by landscaping as deemed necessary by the City
Council.
(ii) All transmitting, receiving and switching equipment shall be housed within a
structure or cabinet. Such structure shall be architecturally designed to blend in
with the surrounding environment, and shall be screened from view by
landscaping consistent with the screening and landscaping requirements of the
Monticello Zoning Ordinance.
(iii) Antenna support structures located within 1000’ feet of the FiberNet
Monticello Co-Location Building shall be required to locate all transmitting,
receiving and switching equipment within the FiberNet Monticello Co-Location.
Equipment Buildings. As shown on the site plan, three equipment buildings have been
proposed at the base of the antenna support structure. All the buildings measure 360
square feet (12’ x 30’) in size. Structure height and finish materials have not however,
been specified. As a condition of CUP approval, the proposed height and finish materials
of the equipment buildings should be specified.
Fencing. The base of the support structure, including the three equipment buildings, is
proposed to be enclosed via a chain link/barbed wire fence (accessed from the northwest
via a swing gate). As a condition of CUP approval, the fence height and any security
measures on the fence should be noted.
Landscaping / Screening. As noted previously, all transmitting, receiving and switching
equipment must be screened from view by landscaping consistent with the screening and
landscaping requirements of the Ordinance. As shown on the site plan, the support
structure area will be screened on the south and northeast by rows of existing coniferous
tree plantings. Such trees measure approximately twenty to thirty feet in height and are
considered an acceptable year-round screen.
City Council Agenda - 9/09/13
10
Grading and Drainage. As required, a site grading plan has been submitted for review.
Such plan should be subject to review and recommendation by the City Engineer.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
As noted previously, the Planning Commission recommended approval of each of the
three applications, including the amendment at 199 feet as proposed, and the Conditional
Use Permits with the attached Exhibit Z conditions. The Commission found that the
single larger tower was preferable to the potential for more, but shorter towers in the
future.
Planning staff believes that the amendment to allow antenna support structures upon R-2
zoned properties raises policy and neighborhood impact issues which have historically
resulted in a prohibition of such towers in residential areas. As noted in the report, even
for commercial or industrial towers (which are no more than 75 feet or 150 feet,
respectively), the current ordinance establishes a 250’ required separation.
If such towers are to be introduced into residential districts, concern exists in regard to
the proposed 199 feet support structure height allowance. A decision regarding the
acceptability of the proposed support structure height (in residential zoning districts
occupied by public uses) is considered a policy matter to be determined by City Officials.
As such, staff recommends that if towers are to be introduced into residential areas of the
City, a height limit comparable to that established for competitive commercial or
industrial locations is adopted. The effect of the proposed ordinance could result in tower
applications that actually seek out public/residential property, rather than avoid those
areas as current ordinance is designed to do.
Nonetheless, the combined effects of the various provisions of the zoning ordinance
should minimize the potential locations in the City. Between the R-2 zoned areas, a
requirement that the property be put to public use, and the one-mile separation
requirement, there would not appear to be other potential locations that would meet all of
the requirements for location. Pinewood Elementary School is within the one mile
spacing of the proposed tower, and is zoned A-O; the middle school is zoned A-O as
well, and most of that property is within one mile of an existing tower on the Bondhus
Tool property. The High School campus property along School Boulevard is zoned R-1.
Thus, the ordinance is quite restrictive in possible options for future locations in
residential areas.
Provided City Officials find the proposed support structure height to be acceptable, staff
recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permits subject to the conditions listed in
Exhibit Z, assuming that the proposed ordinance would alter the height and separation
requirements found in current code.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The re-issued NPDES permit for the City’s wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) dated
December 18, 2012, requires that additional phosphorus be removed from the WWTF effluent
before discharge to the Mississippi River. The permit states that the additional phosphorus
should be removed as soon as possible, but no later than December 31, 2018.
Currently, the WWTF receives through the existing waste stream, an annual phosphorus loading
of approximately 25,000 pounds per year. The WWTF removes a portion of this phosphorus
loading, but still discharges approximately 15,300 pounds to the river per year. The re-issued
permit limits the annual phosphorus discharge to the river to 5,740 pounds. Therefore, the
WWTF will have to remove an additional 9,560 pounds of phosphorus per year, or 62% of the
current phosphorus discharge.
This facility plan amendment evaluated the two processes available to remove additional
phosphorus—biological phosphorus (bio P) removal and chemical phosphorus (chem P)
removal. Bio P involves creating an anoxic zone (no oxygen) and enhancing mixing to
encourage the growth of phosphorus accumulating organisms (PAOs) which take up additional
phosphorus. The PAOs are then removed from the wastewater as biosolids. Chem P involves the
addition of either aluminum sulfate (alum) or ferric chloride to precipitate phosphorus. The
precipitates then settle and are removed with the biosolids.
The two processes were evaluated on both capital cost and additional operation & maintenance
costs. A present worth analysis was then conducted to determine which process was most cost-
effective (least costly). This evaluation concluded that the chem P process was less costly than
the bio P process and offers the following additional advantages:
Easier to implement
More predictable performance
Potential to further reduce additional annual O&M cost
No anticipated increase in chemical costs due to the relatively available compounds.
Because chem P is less costly and offers these additional advantages, WSB recommends that
chem P be implemented.
The capital cost to implement chem P is estimated at $1,143,000. The first year operation and
maintenance (O&M) cost related to chem P is estimated at $72,500. If these additional costs are
to be recovered by wastewater rates, an approximate 10% rate increase will be required.
WSB also recommends that the City Council accept the facility plan amendment for submittal to
the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. We further recommend that the City authorize WSB to
update the City’s placement on the Public Facilities Authority (PFA) Project Priority List to
maintain the City’s position to obtain a low interest rate loan to construct the chem P
improvements.

SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
1.0 Purpose of Facility Plan Amendment
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for the WWTF was re-
issued on December 18, 2012. The re-issued permit requires that the City be in compliance with
an annual phosphorus mass loading of 2,608 kilograms per year (5,740 pounds per year) as soon
as possible, but no later than December 31, 2018.
This facility plan amendment will evaluate alternatives for complying with the new annual
phosphorus mass loading limit and will address the required improvements to the WWTF. Both
capital and additional annual operation & maintenance (O&M) costs will be determined for the
alternatives evaluated. Finally recommendations for implementation will be made.
1.1 Limitations of Amendment
The firm of Bolton & Menk, Inc. (BMI) completed a Facility Plan for WWTF capacity increase
and improved biosolids handling in March 2009. WSB & Associates, Inc. contacted Corey
Mathisen, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency staff engineer assigned to the City of Monticello
WWTF, who concurred that the BMI Facility Plan should be amended to only address the
additional phosphorus reduction required by the re-issued NPDES permit. Therefore, this
amendment will only address the improvements required for additional phosphorus reduction.
1.2 Authorization
The City Council authorized WSB & Associates, Inc., with specific technical assistance provided
by AE2S for wastewater process modeling to proceed with the phosphorus reduction facility
plan amendment at the May 28, 2012, City Council meeting.

SECTION 2: EXISTING WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY
2.0 Background Information
The existing wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) is the City’s third generation facility. It was
initially constructed as a trickling filter facility in 1961. In 1982, the original facility was
converted into an activated sludge facility. Then in 1997, the activated sludge facility was
replaced with a variant of the activated sludge process that utilizes sequencing batch reactors, or
SBRs for short. Conventional activated sludge utilizes primary clarifiers, aeration basins, and
final clarifiers to treat wastewater. In an SBR facility, clarification and aeration occurs in the
same basin.
The existing SBR facility includes both liquid flow streams and biosolids flow streams. A flow
chart for the SBR facility as taken from the City’s NPDES permit appears at the end of this
section. The process units comprising both the liquid and biosolids flow streams will be
described below.
2.1 Liquid Flow Stream
As shown on the flow chart, the liquid flow stream includes the following process units:
Influent Pumping Station
Screening and Grit Removal
Three SBRs
Disinfection
De-chlorination
The purpose of each of these process units will be briefly discussed below.
2.1.1 Influent Pumping Station
A gravity interceptor sewer delivers wastewater flow to the influent pumping station
which includes three raw sewage pumps. Before flowing into the wet well, wastewater
flows through a manually-cleaned coarse bar screen to remove rags and other coarse
objects that could plug the pumps. After coarse screening, the wastewater flows through a
Parshall flume for flow measurement and then enters the wet well. The raw sewage
pumps then pump the wastewater to the headworks in the SBR building.
2.1.2 Screening and Grit Removal
As noted above, the raw sewage pumps in the influent pumping station pump wastewater
to the headworks in the SBR building which houses the fine screening and grit removal
equipment. The wastewater then flows through a mechanical fine screen that removes
additional debris and smaller coarse objects that pass through the coarse bar screen in the
influent pumping station. Following screening, the wastewater flows through the grit
removal equipment that removes such material, as grit (sand), coffee grounds, and egg
shells. Grit that is removed is then washed and dewatered. Both the screenings and the
Facility Plan
Wastewater Treatment Phosphorus Reduction
City of Monticello, MN
WSB Project No. 1494-73 Page 4
grit are then landfilled. Following screening and grit removal, the wastewater flow enters
a splitter box that distributes flow to each of the three SBRs.
2.1.3 Sequencing Batch Reactors
The SBR process is a variant of activated sludge in which all treatment takes place in a
single basin as opposed to conventional activated sludge that uses separate basins for
clarification and aeration. Each SBR operates on the following five step cycle:
Fill
Aeration (react)
Clarification (settling)
Decant (draw)
Idle (remove excess biosolids)
Wastewater flow enters an SBR during the fill cycle and typically fills the SBR to the 21-
foot depth. Aeration typically follows filling but occurs during the fill step as well.
Following aeration, the air is turned off and the biosolids produced during aeration are
allowed to settle. After clarification, the clarified water from the top half of the SBR is
decanted, or drawn off, and flows to the disinfection step. A portion of the settled
biosolids is wasted to the biosolids flow stream. The remaining biosolids are retained to
provide the biomass to treat the next “batch” of wastewater.
2.1.4 Disinfection
The clarified wastewater from the SBRs flows to a disinfection tank where sodium
hypochlorite is added to reduce fecal coliform bacteria and pathogens.
2.1.5 De-chlorination
De-chlorination is the last step in the liquid treatment process because chlorine is harmful
to aquatic life. Following disinfection with sodium hypochlorite, sodium bisulfite is
added to remove any remaining chlorine prior to the treated effluent being discharged to
the Mississippi River.
2.2 Biosolids Flow Stream
As shown on the flow chart, the biosolids flow stream includes the following process units:
Waste Activated Sludge Holding Tank (labeled Waste HT on the flow chart)
Dissolved Air Flotation Thickener (DAF)
Gravity Thickener
Digester #1
Digester #2
Sludge Holding Tank #1
Sludge Dewatering Press
Facility Plan
Wastewater Treatment Phosphorus Reduction
City of Monticello, MN
WSB Project No. 1494-73 Page 5
The purpose of each of these process units will be briefly discussed below.
2.2.1 Waste Activated Sludge Holding Tank
The waste activated sludge holding tank temporarily holds the waste biosolids from the
SBRs so they can be more evenly treated in the dissolved air flotation thickener (DAF).
2.2.2 Dissolved Air Flotation Thickener (DAF)
A dissolved air flotation thickener or, DAF for short, gets its name because air is used to
float biosolids to the surface where they are skimmed off. Small bubbles of air are
diffused through membranes located at the bottom of the DAF basin. As the bubbles rise
through the liquid to the surface, they carry biosolids particles with them. The biosolids
particles are then directed to a sump by a surface skimmer. The clarified water is then
returned to the influent pumping station wet well from where it is pumped by the raw
sewage pumps to the SBRs. The thickened biosolids then go to the gravity thickener.
2.2.3 Gravity Thickener
Although termed a gravity thickener on the flow chart, the term is a misnomer and
probably a hold-over description from the 1982 project that converted the trickling filter
facility into a conventional activated sludge facility. Rather than being a gravity
thickener, it serves as a holding tank prior to the biosolids being pumped to the digesters.
2.2.4 Digesters #1 and #2
The thickened biosolids are pumped from the holding tank described above into digester
#1 which then flows to digester #2. Digester #1 is referred to as a primary digester and
digester #2 is referred to as a secondary digester because they are operated in series. The
digesters are termed anaerobic digesters because there is no free oxygen in the digesters.
In the digesters, microbes break down organic material into more inert material and
methane, carbon dioxide & hydrogen sulfide gases. After digestion, the biosolids are less
putrescible and there is also a significant reduction of fecal coliform bacteria and
pathogens. Following digestion, the digested sludge from digester #2 is either pumped to
sludge holding tank #1 or directly to the sludge dewatering press.
2.2.5 Sludge Holding Tank #1
Sludge holding tank #1 is the large 650,000 gallon tank that stores the digested biosolids
that are pumped from digester #2. Until recently, sludge holding tank #1 stored biosolids
that were then land-applied in spring and fall. However, it now stores biosolids for the
sludge dewatering (screw) press that recently went into operation. The City’s NPDES
permit still allows for land application of biosolids. However, the intent with the screw
press is to landfill the dewatered biosolids.
Facility Plan
Wastewater Treatment Phosphorus Reduction
City of Monticello, MN
WSB Project No. 1494-73 Page 6
2.2.6 Sludge Dewatering (Screw) Press
The screw press went into operation early this year and has the capability to dewater
biosolids from either the sludge holding tank or directly from digester #2. The screw
press increases the dry solids in the biosolids from 1.4% to approximately 16%, which
greatly reduces the volume that must be transported to final disposal. A requirement for
landfilling of biosolids is that the product must pass a paint filter test (no free draining
liquid) which typically is approximately 12% solids. The screw press was installed to
meet this requirement, as well as, to reduce the volume that must be transported.
2.3 Existing Condition
As previously noted, the WWTF was initially constructed in 1961 as a trickling filter facility,
converted to a conventional activated sludge facility in 1982 and then converted to an SBR
facility in 1997. Some of the 1961 construction is still in service, as well as, some of the 1982
construction, and all of the 1997 construction. In general terms, all of the construction from each
of the three projects that is still in service is in moderate to good condition. However, specific
units and items of equipment will need to be upgraded to remain in service.
2.4 Current Capacity
As noted in the March 2009, BMI Facility Plan, the current capacity of the WWTF is adequate
for the near term, but will eventually have to be increased by the addition of a fourth SBR as
flow to the WWTF increases due to development.

SECTION 3: NPDES PERMIT REQUIREMENTS AND DESIGN PARAMETERS
3.0 NPDES Permit Requirements
The NPDES permit for the WWTF was re-issued on December 18, 2012 and has been attached
as Appendix A. Comparison of the now expired and re-issued permits indicates no changes in
effluent limitations other than the re-issued permit requires additional phosphorus reduction. The
new allowable phosphorus discharge for the Monticello WWTF is an annual mass loading of
2,608 kilograms per year which is equivalent to 5,740 pounds per year.
The compliance schedule for attaining this lower level of phosphorus discharge appears on page
9 of the permit and includes the following major milestones:
Milestone Deadline
Submit Facility Plan ......................................................... March 1, 2014
Submit Plans and Specifications .................................... March 30, 2015
Initiate Construction (no later than) .................................... June 1, 2017
Attain Permit Compliance (no later than) ................ December 31, 2018
Note:
The permit states that the City should attain compliance with the phosphorus annual mass
loading of 5,740 pounds per year as soon as possible, but no later than the December 31, 2018
deadline.
3.1 Design Parameters
For the years 2009 through 2013, inclusive, the WWTF processed an annual average flow of
1.106 million gallons per day (mgd) with an average influent phosphorus concentration of 7.42
milligrams per liter (mg/l). The average flow processed at the average influent phosphorus
concentration results in an annual influent phosphorus loading of approximately 25,000 pounds.
The annual average effluent phosphorus concentration for the same period of time was 4.54 mg/l
which represents approximately 15,300 pounds. Therefore, the WWTF must remove an
additional 9,560 (15,300-5,740) pounds of phosphorus annually which represents an increased
removal of 62% from the current level to be in compliance with the re-issued NPDES permit.
The allowable 5,740 pounds of effluent phosphorus per year is equivalent to a concentration of
1.70 mg/l in the 2009 through 2013 average annual flow of 1.106 mgd. The WWTF is permitted
for an average wet weather (AWW) flow of 2.36 mgd. The allowable phosphorus effluent
concentration for that flow is 0.80 mg/l.

WSB Project No. 1494-73 Page 9
SECTION 4: PHOSPHORUS REDUCTION ALTERNATIVES
4.0 Background Information
Phosphorus is widely accepted as the limiting nutrient for eutrophication (excess algae growth)
of surface waters. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) commissioned a total
maximum daily load (TMDL) study of phosphorus entering Lake Pepin which is downstream of
Monticello on the Mississippi River. The TMDL study determined the annual phosphorus
loading that Lake Pepin could assimilate and yet maintain acceptable water quality. The MPCA
then apportioned this acceptable loading to wastewater treatment facilities upstream of Lake
Pepin. The City of Monticello’s apportionment is 2,608 kilograms of phosphorus per year which
equates to 5,740 pounds per year.
4.1 Existing Situation
The City’s WWTF is currently receiving an annual phosphorus loading of approximately 25,000
pounds in an annual average flow of 1.106 million gallons per day (mgd). This annual loading
and flow equates to an influent phosphorus concentration of 7.42 milligrams per liter (mg/l)
which is slightly higher than the 7 mg/l that is considered to be the typical concentration for
domestic wastewater.
The WWTF does an excellent job in removing biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and total
suspended solids (TSS). It also currently reduces the 7.42 mg/l influent phosphorus concentration
to approximately 4.54 mg/l in the WWTF effluent. However, to meet the new 5,740-pound
annual limit for phosphorus mandated by the re-issued NPDES permit, the WWTF must further
reduce phosphorus to approximately 1.70 mg/l in an average daily flow of 1.106 mgd, or 38% of
the current effluent level. The WWTF is currently permitted for an average wet weather (AWW)
flow of 2.36 mgd. The phosphorus concentration would have to be reduced to 0.80 mg/l for an
AWW flow of 2.36 mgd.
4.2 Phosphorus Reduction Processes
Essentially, there are two processes for removing additional phosphorus, both of which have
been evaluated in this facility plan amendment:
Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (bio P)
Chemical addition (chem P)
Bio P can be accomplished by changing oxygen levels in the sequencing batch reactors (SBRs).
When oxygen levels are allowed to be depleted to an anoxic state, wastewater micro-organisms
increase their uptake of phosphorus. Additional phosphorus is then removed with excess micro-
organisms in the biosolids.
Because of the potential for process upset, a back-up chemical addition storage/feed system is
typically provided with bio P to allow for the required phosphorus removal until the bio P
process is restored.
Facility Plan
Wastewater Treatment Phosphorus Reduction
City of Monticello, MN
WSB Project No. 1494-73 Page 10
The City’s existing WWTF utilizes Sanitaire ABJ sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) to treat
wastewater. The SBRs are able to be converted to the bio P process.
The other process for removing additional phosphorus is through chemical addition (chem P).
The commonly used chemicals are either aluminum sulfate (alum) or ferric chloride. In the case
of alum, insoluble aluminum-phosphate precipitate is formed and, in the case of ferric chloride,
insoluble ferric-phosphate precipitate is formed. In both cases, the insoluble precipitates settle
out and are removed with the biosolids.
4.3 Biological Phosphorus Removal (bio P)
Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (bio P) was modeled with both BioWin modeling
software and modeling software provided by Sanitaire for the ABJ SBR process. See Appendix
B for the modeling technical memo.
BioWin modeling software is a wastewater treatment process simulator that ties together
biological, chemical, and physical process models. It is used world-wide to design, upgrade, and
optimize wastewater treatment facilities. The core of the BioWin modeling software is its
proprietary biological model which is supplemented with other process models such as water
chemistry models for calculation of pH and mass transfer models for oxygen modeling and other
gas-liquid interactions.
As noted above, modeling software developed by Sanitaire for the ABJ SBR process was also
used to model enhanced biological phosphorus removal.
The conclusion of the modeling was that the existing SBR batch process should be converted to
the ABJ ICEAS process to accommodate the bio P process. ICEAS is an acronym that stands for
Intermittent Cycle Extended Aeration. As noted in Section 2-Existing Wastewater Treatment
Facility, the existing SBRs are a batch process consisting of the following five steps:
Fill
Aeration (react)
Clarification (settling)
Decant (draw)
Idle (remove excess biosolids)
Unlike the existing batch process, the ICEAS process allows the continuous inflow of
wastewater during all steps. It also provides two treatment zones (pre-react and main react) with
the pre-react zone being the biological selector for enhancing the growth of the phosphorus
accumulating organisms (PAOs) that will take up additional phosphorus.
Conversion of the existing SBRs would require that a divider wall be constructed in each of the
basins to separate the basin into the two zones of pre-react and main react. In addition, mixers
would have to be added to each of the SBR basins. Finally, the existing influent piping would
have to be extended to the newly created pre-react zone.

As previously noted, a back-up chemical feed system is also provided in the event of a biological
process upset.
Control of dissolved oxygen (DO) in the pre-react zone is critical to enhance the growth of PAOs
in that zone. The new blower installation will allow for better DO control in the SBR basins. The
existing over-sized blowers do not allow for less than 2mg/l of DO which is not low enough to
promote the growth of PAOs.
Conversion of the three existing SBR basins for bio P would require the following construction
and equipment installation:
Divider walls in each basin to create the pre-react and react zones
Addition of two mixers per basin
Extension of influent piping to the newly created pre-react zone in each basin
DO control instrumentation, hardware and software
Sludge retention time (SRT) instrumentation, hardware, and software
Back-up chemical feed system
The back-up chemical feed system would be identical to the one described below for chem P.
4.4 Chemical Phosphorus Removal (chem P)
The other phosphorus removal process is a chemical process (chem P). Either aluminum sulfate
(alum) or ferric chloride is added to the wastewater to chemically precipitate the phosphorus,
either as aluminum-phosphate in the case of alum addition or ferric-phosphate in the case of
ferric chloride. The precipitates then settle and are removed with the biosolids.
Both alum and ferric chloride are delivered as liquids. The best pricing is obtained by the
delivery of full 4,000-gallon, semi-trailer tanker loads. Either an alum or ferric chloride feed
system will include the following:
Chemical storage/feed system building
Two 3,000 gallon bulk storage tanks
Day tank
Containment for the bulk storage and day tanks
Scale
Chemical feed pumps
Chemical distribution system to each of the SBRs
Two mixers in each SBR basin
WSB evaluated space in the SBR building and found that there was no suitable space for the two
approximate 8-foot diameter bulk storage tanks and approximate 5-foot diameter day tank.
Therefore, construction of a new building with approximate 20-foot X 20-foot length and width
will be required.
Facility Plan

City of Monticello, MN
WSB Project No. 1494-73 Page 12
Chemical prices are lowest if delivered by a full 4,000 gallon tanker. The two 3,000 gallon bulk
storage tanks will provide 6,000 gallons of storage. The extra 2,000 gallons in storage will allow
ample time to order a new tanker truck full and not have to worry about running out of chemical
before the next tanker arrives.
The day tank will be used for measuring the amount of chemical being used. Because either alum
or ferric chloride will stain the polyethylene tanks, visual determination of liquid level will be
impossible. Therefore, a scale under the day tank is proposed to weigh the contents of the day
tank for conversion to volume by dividing by the weight of the chemical in gallons.
By Building Code, containment must be provided in the event of a rupture of either of the bulk
storage tanks or the day tank.
Four chemical feed pumps are proposed—one for each of the SBRs and a fourth pump that will
serve as a spare for anyone of the other three. The feed pumps will draw chemical from the day
tank.
Another element of the chemical storage/feed system is chemical distribution piping to each of
the SBRs. The distribution piping will carry chemical from the chemical feed pumps to the
mixers in each of the SBRs. The chemical will be added in the vicinity of the mixers which will
then mix the chemical throughout the basins.
The final element of the chemical feed system will be two mixers in each SBR basin to
efficiently mix the added chemical with the contents of the basin. The mixers will serve to
minimize the chemical being added while maximizing phosphorus removal.
4.5 Comparative Advantages and Disadvantages of the Two Processes
The primary advantage of bio P is a lower annual O&M cost because purchase of either alum or
ferric chloride is minimized. Its disadvantage is higher capital cost. For chem P, just the
opposite is true. It has as its advantage lower capital cost with its disadvantage being higher
annual O&M cost due to chemical purchase.
Capital cost and O&M costs for each of these phosphorus reduction processes are presented in
the following section of this report.
4.6 Biosolids Production
Either bio P or chem P will increase biosolids production. Chem P should produce more
biosolids than bio P due to the fact that chemical precipitates will also be formed. However, it
should prove easier to dewater the chem P biosolids than the bio P biosolids which will help to
offset the cost of dewatering the greater volume of biosolids produced by chem P.
The cost of dewatering the additional biosolids produced by either bio P or chem P will be
addressed in the next section of this report.

WSB Project No. 1494-73 Page 13
It should be noted that the additional biosolids produced by either bio P or chem P were
anticipated at the time the screw press size was selected. Therefore, the screw press that recently
went into operation has adequate capacity to dewater the additional biosolids.

SECTION 5: COST OPINIONS
5.0 General
This section of the report will present both capital and additional operation & maintenance
(O&M) cost estimates for both the bio P and chem P phosphorus reduction alternatives. In
addition, the costs for both alternatives will be evaluated on a 20-year present worth (PW) basis
to identify the most cost-effective alternative for implementation.
5.1 Capital Costs
The capital costs associated with each of the phosphorus reduction alternatives follow below.
Both cost estimates include the cost of 12,240 new diffuser membranes. The SBRs went into
service in 1998. By the time the phosphorus reduction alternative is constructed, the membranes
will have been in service for at least 18 years, well over the expected life of 10 to 12 years.
Sanitaire has recommended that they be replaced. Therefore, the cost of replacing the
membranes has been included in the capital cost estimates for both alternatives.
5.1.1 Chem P Alternative
The capital cost associated with implementing the chem P phosphorus reduction
alternative appears in Table No. 1.

Note:
1) The chemical storage/feed system would consist of a new building to house
the bulk storage tanks, day tank, scale, and chemical feed pumps. In addition,
there would be a distribution system to deliver chemical from the feed pumps
to each of the SBR basins.

chem P alternative.
5.2 Additional Operation and Maintenance Costs
In addition to incurring capital cost to implement either of the phosphorus reduction alternatives,
additional operation and maintenance (O&M) costs will be incurred due to additional labor to
operate either of the phosphorus reduction processes. In addition, there will be increased
production of biosolids with either of the alternatives that will increase biosolids processing and
disposal costs. Also, for the chem P alternative, there will be chemical purchase costs.
The additional annual O&M cost for the first year of operation of either of the phosphorus
reduction alternatives is estimated below.

5.3 Present Worth Analysis
A 20-year planning period has been assumed for this study. The 20-year present worth of the
capital cost and additional O&M cost for both of the phosphorus reduction alternatives will be
determined below to determine which one is more cost-effective to implement. The mid-point of
the 2014-2034, 20-year planning period is the year 2024. The present worth analysis is based on
the biosolids production for the mid-point year of 2024. An interest rate of 3% was assumed in
the present worth analysis.
5.3.1 Chem P Alternative
The capital cost for this alternative has been estimated at $1,143,000. The additional
annual O&M cost for this alternative for the year 2024 has been estimated at $97,200.
The 20-year present worth of this alternative appears in Table No. 5.

5.3.3 Conclusions
Present worth represents the amount of money that would be needed now to finance the
capital improvements and the 20-year stream of additional annual O&M costs. Because
the chem P alternative has the lower present worth, it is the more cost-effective (less
costly) alternative to implement.

SECTION 6: RECOMMENDATIONS, RATE IMPACT, AND FUNDING
6.0 Recommendations
In the previous section of this report, it was determined that the chem P alternative was the more
cost-effective alternative to implement to achieve the required additional phosphorus reduction
on the basis of its lower present worth. WSB, therefore, recommends that chem P be
implemented because it is the less costly alternative.
In addition to being less costly, the chem P alternative offers the following advantages:
Easier to implement
More predictable performance
Potential to further reduce additional annual O&M cost
At this point, each of these additional advantages will be briefly discussed.
The chem P alternative will be easier to implement because the divider walls and influent piping
extensions in each of the SBR basins will not be constructed. This will reduce construction time
and make interim operations easier for the WWTF operating staff.
The chem P process is a chemical process as compared to the bio P process which is a biological
process that involves the nurturing of specific phosphorus accumulating organisms (PAOs) to
remove additional phosphorus. By nature, chemical processes are more predictable than
biological processes.
The BioWin modeling that was conducted indicates that DO control and mixing alone may result
in the required additional phosphorus reduction for the first few years of operation. The
modeling suggests that only after flow increases due to growth will it become necessary to add
chemical. Therefore, for the near term, the potential exists for a $30,000 reduction in annual
O&M cost.
6.1 Rate Impact
The impact of implementation of chem P on wastewater rates will now be discussed.
6.1.1 Existing Wastewater Rates
For convenience, 2014 quarterly wastewater rates are included below.
First 3,740 gallons ........... $20.65 minimum
Over 3,740 gallons ......... $3.70/748 gallons
The quarterly minimum charge of $20.65 represents a charge of $4.13/748 gallons.
Facility Plan
Wastewater Treatment Phosphorus Reduction
City of Monticello, MN
WSB Project No. 1494-73 Page 20
The City bills for wastewater throughout the year based on metered winter quarter water
sales. For winter quarter, 2013, the City billed for 83,973,000 gallons of water. Because
winter quarter water sales are the basis for wastewater billings throughout the year, a total
of 4 X 83,973,000 gallons = 335,892,000 gallons of wastewater were billed for 2013.
Monticello bills in 748 gallon units. The number of 748 gallon units billed in 2013 was
449,053.
6.1.2 Chem P Rate Increase
In the previous section, the capital cost for implementing chem P was estimated at
$1,143,000. In 2013, the City sold $3 million in bonds for the Phase 1 improvements. The
bonds sold with an approximate 3% interest rate. The assumption that bonds will be sold
for a 20-year term at 3% interest to finance the chem P improvements results in an annual
principal and interest (P&I) payment of $76,850.
A first year O&M cost increase of $72,500 for chem P was presented in the previous
section. Adding this number to the annual P&I payment of $76,850 results in a total
annual cost increase of $149,350 related to the implementation of chem P.
As noted above, the City billed 449,053—748 gallon units of wastewater in 2013.
Dividing the total annual cost increase of $149,350 by the 449,053 units results in a
required rate increase of approximately $0.33 per 748 gallon unit. Comparing the $0.33
per 748 gallon unit rate increase with the existing rate, an approximate 10% overall rate
increase will be required if the chem P installation and additional O&M costs are to be
recovered through wastewater rates.
City staff will be evaluating whether there should be a surcharge on significant generators
of phosphorus to lower the cost to the general user and to encourage the reduction of
phosphorus to the WWTF. A potential advantage to the chem P process is that if the
generators lower their discharge of phosphorus, then less chemical will be used, thereby
reducing the annual chemical costs.
6.2 Funding
6.2.1 Grants
Wastewater grants are available through the USDA Rural Development (RD) Grant and
Loan Program. However, funding is limited to cities with populations of less than 10,000
persons. Therefore, Monticello is not eligible for RD funding.
Another potential grant program is the Small Cities Grant Program which is administered
by the Department of Energy and Economic Development (DEED). Grants are targeted
to low-to-moderate incomes. Therefore, it is unlikely that Monticello would be eligible
for a grant.
Facility Plan
Wastewater Treatment Phosphorus Reduction
City of Monticello, MN
WSB Project No. 1494-73 Page 21
Other potential grant programs are the Wastewater Infrastructure Fund (WIF) and the
Point Source Implementation Grant Program. Because WIF targets high user cost
wastewater projects, the City would not be eligible for a WIF grant. The Point Source
Implementation Grant Program which funds up to 50% of project costs remains as the
only grant possibility for Monticello. WSB will research the possibility of a grant and
make application if the City is eligible.
6.2.2 Loans
The most probable funding source is a low interest rate loan through the Clean Water
Revolving Loan Fund which is administered by the Public Facilities Authority (PFA), a
subdivision of DEED. The PFA works in conjunction with the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency (MPCA). Essentially the MPCA determines project priority points which
the PFA then uses to determine funding priority and the number of projects that can be
funded in any given fiscal year.
WSB contacted Bill Dunn of the MPCA who serves in the role of PFA coordinator. We
learned that the City is on the FY2014 Project Priority List (PPL) for a loan request of
$8.781million for a sludge dryer project. The City’s current priority ranking is 203 based
on 41 priority points. For FY2014, only projects with a priority total of 45 points or
above were funded.
Because the phosphorus reduction project constitutes treatment beyond the definition of
secondary treatment, the City should receive sufficient additional priority points to be in
the fundable range for FY2015 and subsequent fiscal years.
WSB also contacted Kathe Barrett of the PFA to learn what the probable interest rate
would be for Monticello. Kathe indicated a current market rate of 2.89% and a 150 basis
point (100 basis points = 1%) discount. Therefore, the PFA loan rate would be
approximately 1.5%. Based on a loan amount of $1,143,000, a 1.5% PFA loan would
save the City approximately $10,000 annually in P&I payment as compared to a 3% bond
interest rate.
Following acceptance of the phosphorus reduction facility plan amendment by the City
Council, WSB will work with Bill Dunn to obtain the additional priority points for
funding eligibility and to revise the requested loan amount to reflect the phosphorus
reduction project and not a sludge dryer project.

Introduction and Purpose
The Monticello wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) is not currently designed to remove
phosphorus to the lower concentrations that will soon be required by the current NPDES permit.
The purpose of this technical memorandum (TM) is to outline the process design considerations
for one biological phosphorus (bio-P) removal alternative and one chemical phosphorus (chem-
P) removal alternative. This TM is intended to form the basis of the alternatives that will be
evaluated in a Facility Plan Amendment to be completed by WSB & Associates, which will
amend the 2009 Facility Plan completed by Bolton and Menk.

Existing Conditions Summary
The Monticello WWTF is a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) facility, which is a unique
configuration of the activated sludge process. Influent is pumped, screened, and de-gritted prior
to the three SBR reactors, and SBR effluent is disinfected by chlorination/dechlorination prior to
discharge to the Mississippi river. Waste activated sludge (WAS) from the SBRs is transferred to
a WAS holding tank before being thickened by a dissolved air floatation (DAF) unit. The
thickened WAS is then anaerobically digested in one primary digester and one secondary
digester before sludge is transferred to a digested sludge holding tank. A screw press dewatering
unit was recently added in 2013, and cake solids are being landfilled. DAF and screw press
supernatant is returned to the influent.
The SBR reactors are operated in a true batch mode with a 5.5 hour cycle time. A significant
industrial user (SIU) is a major contributor to the influent load, and the 5.5 hour cycle time was
chosen during the original SBR design to better distribute the industrial loads that exhibit
significant peaks towards the end of each production shift. The SIU has made a focused effort in
recent years to limit the phosphorus contribution to the WWTF. The SIU has maintained a
relatively high BOD contribution.
The screw press facility was commissioned in late 2013, and the system has not yet been
optimized for polymer use or cake TS. This TM will assume that the screw press will produce
cake TS of approximately 18-percent.
The existing aeration system appears to be designed for the design AWW flow and load, but
turndown capabilities are limited and the dissolved oxygen (DO) is generally high (>6 mg/L)
during aeration cycles. A project is already underway to install a smaller blower with a variable
frequency drive to provide better DO control. Because this aeration project has already been
initiated, these DO control improvements were considered existing conditions for the purpose of
phosphorus removal evaluation.
The flows and loads are documented in more detail in the Bolton and Menk Facility Plan. The
influent concentrations and fractionalizations were estimated using a combination of previous
planning data and historical data from 2010 to 2013. Additional process data from the same time
period was analyzed for MLSS, WAS, thickened WAS, and other solids parameters to form the
basis for the modeling assumptions. Additional VFA testing was also conducted.
Fractionalizations used for process modeling are documented as an appendix to this TM.

Design Criteria
The future TP permit limit will be 1.0 mgTP/L based on the annual load limit at design flows. An
annual wet weather (AWW) flow of 2.36 MGD is used for this planning because this flow was
used in the current NPDES permit. The target TP concentration for future permit compliance is
<0.7 mgTP/L.
Bio-P can be accomplished in an SBR facility, but additional considerations are required because
the anaerobic, anoxic, and aeration zones are separated in time with phasing instead of being
physically separated in space. Additionally, clarification is accomplished in the same tank as the
biological reactions, which also requires additional considerations for chemical dosing for
chem-P.

*2009 Facility Plan
**Current NPDES Permit (used for the Facility Plan Amendment)
***Modified from 2009 Facility Plan because an additional 750 lbs/day influent TSS
was included to account for biosolids production from phosphorus removal. This
simplification has been removed prior to modeling.
In addition to the permit criteria, full nitrification (effluent ammonia less than 2.0 mg/L) was
assumed to maintain existing results such that a permit limit would not be triggered.
Process Modeling
BioWin™ Version 4.0 process modeling software was used to evaluate the alternatives. The
SBRs were modeled using dynamic simulations, which is required for SBR modeling due to the
phased methodology of the SBR process. Each simulation included one SBR reactor (one-third
scale) with supplemental processes (mostly solids handling and digesters) modeled at one-third
Page 4 of 9
size. Modeling the least number of units is common practice to reduce the number of calculations
required for simulation. Additional modeling assumptions included:
· DAF Thickener produces approximately 2.5-percent solids with 99-percent capture
efficiency
· Modeling included MLSS wasting during aeration cycles with subsequent “thickening”
with a point clarifier to control WAS concentrations to approximately 0.6-percent
· DO during aeration cycles could be controlled to 2.0 mg/L
· Screw press dewatering produces a solids cake of approximately 18-percent
· MLSS was maintained between 3,000 and 3,500 mg/L
Alternatives
BIOLOGICAL PHOSPHORUS REMOVAL
Biological nutrient removal involves the removal of total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus
(TP). Although only TP removal is required for current permit compliance, TN removal would
also be required for effective biological phosphorus removal. The BNR alternative includes the
operation of the SBR process into three distinct phases distinguished from each other by the
concentrations of oxygen and nitrate. The three distinct areas are anaerobic, anoxic, and aerobic
phases and each provides environments promoting desired microbial populations and activity for
biological treatment. Aerobic zones are characterized by the presence of oxygen within the
system and are created through aeration and aeration induced mixing. Blowers are used to
provide air to diffusers within the basin which both aerates and mixes the wastewater. Anoxic
and anaerobic phases are characterized by a lack of oxygen with anoxic phases also having
nitrate. The nitrate can be used by certain microorganisms as a “substitute” for oxygen.
Mechanical mixing during anaerobic and anoxic phases improves reaction rates by bringing
microbes into contact with food sources (pollutants).

Anoxic/Anaerobic Mixer

Anaerobic Phase for Bio-P
BNR requires an anaerobic phase of the secondary treatment process to provide a competitive
advantage for phosphate accumulating organisms (PAOs) to convert organic matter to
polyhydroxylakanoates (PHAs), during which they release phosphorus. PHAs are used as an
energy source under aerobic conditions to take up phosphorus previously released as well as
additional phosphorus within the system. Essentially, the PAOs convert soluble phosphorus to
particulate phosphorus. Phosphorus will then be removed from the system by wasting the sludge.
Results
Biowin modeling indicated that bio-P could be accomplished at the Monticello WWTF provided
that phosphorus return flows from the solids system were properly managed. A modified SBR
arrangement successfully removed phosphorus below 1.0 mg/L at current flows, design annual
average flows, and design AWW flows. It should be noted that AWW flows required more than
50-percent air-on time during the standard 50:50 air-on, air-off portion of the cycle to achieve
BOD removal and full nitrification.
A BOD:TP ratio of 20 to 1 is typically required to meet total phosphorus effluent levels of 1
mg/L or less. This is a surrogate ratio for volatile fatty acids (VFAs), which are one of the
primary drivers for PAO proliferation. The Monticello raw wastewater exhibits BOD:TP ratios
of greater than 60:1. However, this ratio needs to take into account all recycle loads. A
significant amount of soluble phosphorus release occurs in anaerobic digesters that handle bio-P,
and the soluble phosphorus can be returned to the liquids train via the pressate from the screw
press dewatering. Approximately 50-percent phosphorus return was observed in process
modeling, but the BOD:TP ratio remained acceptable for bio-P. However, the intermittent nature
of the dewatering operations requires equalization of the pressate to avoid overloading return
phosphorus during dewatering operations. A pressate EQ could be eliminated by dosing
chemical to the pressate stream. Similarly, the batch SBRs would need to be converted to
continuous flow SBRs in order to distribute the highly variable industrial load evenly between
the three SBR reactors. Struvite formation would need to be monitored in the digesters and solids
piping/pumping due to the expected increase in soluble phosphorus in the digesters (struvite is a
Page 6 of 9
precipitant of ammonia, phosphate, and magnesium). Finally, a back-up chemical addition
system is recommended for reliability of permit compliance.
Bio-P summary:
· Influent characteristics are favorable for bio-P
· Consistent bio-P results with effluent <1.0 mgTP/L are achievable
· DO control is important to bio-P success
· Pressate equalization would be required
· Conversion to continuous flow SBRs would be required
· SBR mixers would be required
· Process control modifications would be required
· A back-up chemical dosing system is recommended for reliability
CHEMICAL PHOSPHORUS REMOVAL
Chem-P is accomplished by dosing of trivalent metal salts to precipitate soluble phosphorus so
that the phosphorus can be removed from the system via the solids stream. Iron salts (ferric) and
aluminum salts (alum) are the two most common chemicals. Ferric was assumed for this
evaluation due to a significantly lower freezing point as well as its odor control benefits.
A chem-P system at the Monticello WWTF would be relatively straight forward and would
involve dosing ferric during the final aeration/anoxic cycles before the settling and decant cycles.
Supplemental mixing is recommended to improve chemical dispersion. A conversion to
continuous flow SBRs would not be required, but online phosphate analyzers would be
recommended to optimize chemical dosages. Chem-P generally binds the phosphorus and allows
limited re-release, but solids return flows must still be considered because the anaerobic digesters
will cause biological release of phosphorus due to breakdown of the cells in the digesters. The
primary phosphorus return load would be present in the dewatering pressate. Chemical dosing to
the pressate would optimize chemical use by dosing to a more concentrated stream, and it would
also stabilize SBR chemical doses by limiting soluble phosphorus loading fluctuations to the
SBRs. BioWin modeling was used to estimate chemical dosage as well as to provide a relative
estimate of biosolids production due to chem-P because chem-P can significantly increase
biosolids production depending on influent wastewater characteristics. An increase in biosolids
production would be anticipated for Monticello, but the relative increase is dampened by the
relatively low influent TP concentration relative to the BOD.
Results
Chem-P was found to reliably reduce effluent phosphorus concentrations to below 1.0 mg/L.
Interestingly, bio-P may occur in the chem-P system regardless of whether bio-P is intended to
occur. The Monticello WWTF has historically experienced some biological uptake of
phosphorus, but the “over-aerated” SBRs did not allow for anaerobic conditions to occur that
would result in true bio-P. However, the new DO controls will likely result in additional bio-P
Page 7 of 9
occurring regardless of whether bio-P is intended because available nitrate will likely be
converted in late cycle anoxic phases, which would result in anaerobic conditions. This was also
found in BioWin modeling as the PAO kinetics had to be “turned-off” in order to avoid bio-P
from occurring. However, the bio-P was not reliable without the suggested/required process
changes. The important take-away is that less chemical will likely be required in the “real world”
than what has been estimated.
Chem-P summary:
· Consistent chem-P results with effluent <1.0 mgTP/L are achievable
· A chemical storage and dosing system would be required
· Phosphate monitoring would be required for optimum chemical dose
· Pressate equalization would not be required
· Chemical dosing to pressate would improve chemical utilization
· Conversion to continuous flow SBRs would not be required
· SBR mixers would be recommended
Chemical Requirements and Solids Production
As mentioned previously, chem-P typically increases biosolids production. Bio-P can also
increase solids production to account for the additional mass of phosphorus removed, but the
increases are typically less than the increase for bio-P. Results of the BioWin modeling are
included in Table 2. Average annual flows were used to size the chemical storage requirements
as well as to demonstrate relative annual biosolids production.

Miscellaneous Observations
In addition to the direct observations from the two phosphorus removal alternatives, the
following observations were made during operational discussions and BioWin modeling:
· The DO control project will improve operations and will likely increase biological
phosphorus removal, although not enough to meet future permit limits without additional
modifications.
· The anaerobic digesters will continue to struggle to provide significant VS destruction.
This is common for WAS-only digestion and the digesters would benefit from WAS
conditioning to rupture the microbial cells in the MLSS (i.e. acid-phase digestion,
sonification, etc.).
· Coagulant addition to the DAF would likely improve DAF solids concentrations, which
would subsequently increase digester HRT and digester performance.
· Changes to industrial loading could significantly impact the Monticello WWTF.
· Future disinfection should be considered when selecting chemicals because ferric can
potentially impact ultraviolet (UV) disinfection.

II. The Application Process
The application is available to download from the Outdoor Recreation Grant Program web page.
We urge applicants to begin the application process early in order to allow time to complete
application requirements such as obtaining community involvement and completion of
appraisals.
Completed applications are to be submitted electronically in a “.pdf” format by March 31, 2014
using the instructions in the application form. This program is very competitive. Staff members
are available to discuss your project or review application materials. You are encouraged to
submit any draft application or materials by March 3rd if you would like staff to provide
comments.
APPRAISAL REQUIREMENTS
Appraisals must be performed by a qualified licensed appraiser and meet the Uniform Appraisal
Standards for Federal Land Acquisition (UASFLA) and with the DNR Supplemental Appraisal
and Appraisal Review Guidelines. The application must include a self-contained appraisal report
and a completed DNR Appraisal Certification Form. The appraisal must include the DNR as an
intended user and the landowner or designated representative must be given an opportunity to
accompany the appraiser during the inspection of the property. Appraisals must have an
effective date within 13 months of the application deadline.
Appraisals will be reviewed by the state to ensure that they meet applicable standards. If the
appraisal is not accepted, the applicant will be contacted for additional clarification or
modification. If you or the appraiser has any questions, please contact the program staff
assigned to your area prior to completing the appraisal assignment.
COMPETITIVE REVIEW AND SELECTION PROCESS
The program is competitive and requires a review and selection process to make funding
determinations and awards. The review and selection process will take place after March 31,
and funding announcements will be made in summer. Incomplete applications or applications
received after the deadline will not be eligible for funding consideration. Program staff will
review applications and, if necessary, a site visit will be conducted.
Minnesota’s 2008-2012 State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan
The 2008-2012 State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) is Minnesota’s outdoor
recreation policy plan. This plan was developed with the input of Minnesota outdoor and natural
resource leaders. It establishes outdoor recreation priorities for Minnesota to assist outdoor
recreation and natural resource managers, the state legislature, and the executive branch in
decision-making about the state’s outdoor recreation system and sets out criteria for awarding
grants consistent with these identified priorities. Applications are assessed to ensure that the
proposed project is consistent with priorities established in the SCORP document.
OR December 2013
6
Selection Priorities:
SCORP Plan (50%) - Selection criteria are based on strategic directions identified under the
following three Strategy areas in the SCORP Plan.
• Strategy 1: Acquire, protect and restore Minnesota’s natural resource base on which outdoor
recreation depends. This includes obtaining prime outdoor recreation areas throughout the state
prior to anticipated land use changes.
Focus areas: Acquisition, protection or restoration of land or other natural resources that will
provide or enhance public outdoor recreation opportunities and/or located in an area of rapid
population growth; acquisition of potential prime outdoor recreation areas that may otherwise be
threatened by anticipated land use changes; acquisition of land in areas that protect water
quality; and/or acquisition of land in areas that protect key threatened habitats.
• Strategy 2: Develop and maintain a sustainable and resilient outdoor recreation infrastructure.
Focus areas: Redevelopment, renovation or rehabilitation of current infrastructure, including
improvements for safety, accessibility and energy efficiency. In addition, projects that result in
sustaining the environmental infrastructure, such as water resources, native habitat, plants,
animals, etc.
• Strategy 3: Promote increased outdoor recreation participation through targeted
programming and outreach.
Focus areas: Projects that result in more opportunities to participate with peers and family in
nature-based outdoor recreation experiences through schools, youth programs, etc., for young
people, people from diverse cultural communities or new immigrant communities and seniors. In
addition, projects that help support nature education initiatives to ensure “no child left inside”
address constraints to outdoor recreation such as economic issues, facility design, public
awareness, safety or security issues and/or provide better access to outdoor recreation areas for
people for whom limited mobility, cost, distance from recreation areas or other factors restrict
participation.
Additional review components:
Project Specific Criteria (21%): Local match; project readiness and timeframe; cost vs. benefit;
site and project quality.
Park and Facility Design (29%): Use & design are compatible with site; makes good use of
available space; avoids conflicts among facilities; avoids conflicts with adjacent uses; consider
environmental intrusions; consider health and safety risks; all facilities must be accessible;
facilities designed consistent with standards.
AWARD OF FUNDS
All applicants will receive official written notification regarding their request for funding. If your
proposed project has received preliminary approval for funding, you will be contacted regarding
additional information requirements needed before an agreement can be processed. These
requirements may include Minnesota Historical Society review, permits, deed restriction and
other details.
Projects cannot begin until all final documentation has been submitted and a grant agreement has
been completed. This process can take three months to complete. Any project costs incurred
OR December 2013
7
prior to the start date of the grant agreement will not be eligible for reimbursement.
Payment of grant funds to the local sponsor is on a reimbursement basis. The grant recipient
must initially expend monies that are then reimbursed under the terms of the grant agreement.
Ten percent of the grant funds will be retained until a final inspection has been completed.
GRANTS AND PUBLIC INFORMATION
Under MN Statute 13.599, responses to a request for proposal are nonpublic until the application
deadline is reached. At that time, the name and address of the grantee, and the amount requested
becomes public.
After the application evaluation process is completed, data (except trade secret data) becomes
public. Data created during the evaluation process is nonpublic until the negotiation of the grant
agreement with the selected grantee(s) is completed.
MN Statute 13.44 categorizes estimated or appraised value of real property prior to purchase and
sale as confidential data on individuals or protected nonpublic data. See also Minnesota
Government Data Privacy Act for more information. This information, along with corresponding
budget information, will be redacted from the applications before making them public.
III. Program Requirements
LAND RETENTION REQUIREMENTS
1) CONVERSION OF USE: All land improved or acquired with assistance from this
grant program must be retained and operated solely for outdoor recreation. The
Grantee shall not at any time convert this property to other uses without the prior
written approval of the State. The State will consider a conversion request only after
the following pre-requisites have been met:
1. All practical alternatives to the conversion have been evaluated and rejected on
a sound basis.
2. The Grantee has agreed to replace the converted lands with other lands of at
least equal fair market value and reasonably equivalent recreational usefulness as
determined by the State.
The State shall have the authority to approve or disapprove conversion requests.
2) DEED RESTRICTION REQUIREMENT: The Grantee will be required to record a
condition with the deed of the real property funded by the grant agreement that notifies
the public of the grant and the grant program requirements.
The Site Boundary Map submitted with your application will delineate and establish the property
boundaries subject to the grant agreement. Therefore, it is very important that any existing public
facilities and any known future public facilities (e.g., wells, lift stations, roadway improvements,
OR December 2013
8
etc.) are clearly identified and excluded from the boundaries of the project. The site boundaries
should include only the property that the project sponsor plans on managing for outdoor
recreation uses in perpetuity.
MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SITES ACT AND MINNESOTA FIELD ARCHAEOLOGY
ACT REVIEW
The Minnesota Historical Society will be contacted to review your project to determine if the site
is a potential location for historical or archeological findings. If the Historical Society
determines that a survey is required, the survey would need to be completed prior to any site
disturbance for development projects and prior to the final reimbursement of the grant funds for
acquisition projects.
PERMITS AND CAMPGROUND PLAN APPROVAL REQUIREMENTS
Development or alteration of shoreline adjacent to rivers, streams, lakes, and other public water
bodies may require a written permit issued by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
(DNR). In addition, projects involving work within waters and wetlands may require a permit
from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE). Grantees will be required to determine whether
a waters permit is required by contacting both the DNR and the COE directly. Contact
Information:
U.S Army Corps of Engineers Regulatory Functions
Department of Natural Resources: Public Waters Work Permits
Recreational Camping Areas
Campgrounds must comply with state laws and rules set by the Minnesota Department of Health.
A summary of these requirements is available at Summary of General Requirements for
Recreational Camping Areas. You must submit plans and receive approval for the development
of a recreational camping area to the MN Department of Health or your local health authority
before construction begins. Upon completion of the campground, a license application, license
fee and inspection by the area health inspector is required. A copy of the license must be
submitted with your final payment request.
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
It is the policy of the State of Minnesota to monitor progress on state grants by requiring grantees to
submit written progress reports at least annually until all grant funds have been expended and all of
the terms in the grant agreement have been met. A progress report form will be provided by prog ram
staff. Grant payments shall not be made on grants with past due progress reports unless program staff
have given the grantee a written extension.
MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
It is the policy of the State of Minnesota to conduct at least one monitoring visit per grant period
on all state grants of over $50,000 and to conduct at least annual monitoring visits on grants of
over $250,000.
OR December 2013
9
CLOSEOUT PROCEDURES
Upon completion of your project, a final billing must be submitted to our office no later than 30
days after the expiration date on your agreement. Program staff will complete a final inspection
of the project. The inspection will focus on ensuring that the project was completed in
accordance with the grant agreement, that facilities developed are accessible and a funding
acknowledgment sign is installed. If any problems are revealed during the inspection, they will
need to be corrected before you receive final reimbursement for your grant and the official
closeout notification for your project.
All expenditures are subject to verification by an independent state audit and, therefore, you
must retain all project records for a period of at least six years after you receive the official
closeout notification letter.
Periodic post-completion inspections will be conducted to ensure that the site is being properly
operated and maintained and that no conversion of use has occurred.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT SIGN
All projects acquired or developed with assistance from this program must display a state
approved funding acknowledgment sign at the main entrance to the park. The grant program
staff will provide the specific sign information.
AVAILABILITY TO USERS
Public property, facilities & programs that receive state assistance and future development of a
site that has received state assistance shall be open to entry by all persons regardless of race,
color, national origin, religion or sex. No person shall, on the basis of disability shall be
excluded from participation in any program or activity receiving state assistance. Finally,
discrimination on the basis of residence, including preferential reservation, membership or
annual permit systems is prohibited except to the extent that reasonable differences in admission
and other fees may be maintained on the basis of residence. Fees charged to non-residents
cannot exceed twice that charged to residents and must be comparable to fees charged at other
state or local facilities.
