I am writing this letter to share a conversation I had with Joe Gibson of the Department of Natural Resources. You may recall, the City of- Bayport submitted, a Grant Application to help fund the Perro Creek Study with the' DNR.. Mr. Gibson had indicated there is a very good chance for the Perro Creek Study to receive -a 50% funding from the DNR. Unfortunately, according to Mr. Gibson, the 1993 floods have required the DNR to use their Grant Funds for restoration and repair of flood damaged property. Consequently, Mr. Gibson had indicated there is no chance for funding the Perro Creek Study until April of 1994 . Washington County is planning to go ahead with its improvement of County Road 21. They will need the data associated with the Perro Creek Study in early January or February at the latest. Therefore, it is necessary that we move ahead with the Perro Creek Study without Grant Funding. Proceeding with the Study now will facilitate generating the data required by the County to design the outlet structure on the Prison Pond. In previous discussions with representatives of participating local governments, an Agreement had been reached regarding the Study funding, if, Grant Funds were not available. The Agreement-was reached at a sub Watershed Group .meeting consisting of representatives of Oak Park Heights, Stillwater, _ Baytown Township and Bayport at Stillwater City Hall on Wednesday, March 24, at 6:00 PM. Representatives of. each local government agreed to the following funding allocation if a Grant was not available: • • 11Stillwater $ 2, 192 .00 Bayport 13, 120.50 Baytown Township 12,000.00 Oak Park Heights 27,350.00 To facilitate going forward with the Perro Creek Watershed Study, I would appreciate you forwarding to me a letter or a copy of your local government's minutes indicating there is a commitment by your local government to fund $27,350.00 e4 the Perro Creek Study.

Box 2007 Stillwater, MN 55082 Dear LaVonne: The City of Bayport has been successful in acquiring a ,$16,500.00 loan from the Metropolitan Council for the first phase of the Consolidation Study. I have enclosed a copy of the Loan Agreement with this letter. The City of Bayport is required to begin paying back the loan :in equal payments _of $5,500.00 beginning on April 18, 1994, on February 18, 1995 and on February 18, 1996. The loan was for $16,500.00 and the actual cost of the Study was set at $22,000.00. Therefore, it is necessary for the Cities to cover $5,500.00 of the difference between the loan and the Study cost during this year's budget. Based on the Agreement signed between Baytown Township, the City of Bayport and the City of Oak Park Heights, your total share of the Studycost is $11,200.00. For convenience sake, weinto have broken it down 4 equal payments of '$2,779.66. This year's fee also includes Oak Park Height's share of the Application Fee required by the Met Council which was $81.37. The total payment for this year combines the Application Fee of $81.37 and the initial'payment of $2,779.66 for a total of $2,861.03. I have also included a copy of the Memorandum of Understanding Between the Cities of Bayport, Baytown Township and Oak Park Heights regarding each local government's contribution to the Phase 1 Consolidation Study. For your information, I have also included a payment schedule for the Phase 1 Consolidation Study. The City of Bayport would appreciate receiving a check for $2, 861.03 as soon as Springsted, Inc. and Tautges, Redpath, Ltd. , bill the City of Bayport for the Phase One Consolidation Study. I will be contacting you informing you of their billing date, so that you begin to process a check for your contribution. • • Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 439-2530.

This situation was discussed at their last meeting on March 24 , 1993 . I understand that your city council has adopted a resolution approving the study by SEH, Inc. and agreeing to pay $24 , 193 .48 . The Town of Baytown has only agreed to finance the study for $12 ,000 .00 . This leaves the Perro Creek Subwatershed Group approximately *6, 300.00 short of the projected study cost. The City of Bayport proposed that Bayport and Oak Park Heights equally share the additional cost needed for the study. This necessitates an additional $3 ,150.00 needed from Oak Park Heights. Please consider this request and notify me as to whether or not your City will agree to pay this additional amount.

The Middle St . Croix Watershed Management plan requires all local units of government to prepare and up- date local watershed plans and the Perro Creek study is an integral part of the local manage- ment plan that is causing concern for our area. The cost of the study is expected to be approximately $74 ,000 with each local municipality expected to contribute a dollar amount based on acreage in and near the Perro Creek collection area irregardless of the type of local development that may enhance runoff rates and amounts . Baytown has concerns about the high cost of the study for our rural acreage with natural saturation and ponding areas as opposed to an area with development like Oak Park and Stillwater. Since the old Prison Pond is involved and the -"' \ Komi 4,1.0 improvement of Washington County 21 is planned, we would like Washington County input and an attempt at / w""'"- 2 coordinating the road and watershed plan in an an effort to maximize resources .

Enclosure 23 CITY OF BAYPORT OFFICE OF CITY ADMINISTRATOR The Honorable Mayor Council Letter No. 93-24 and City Councilmembers Agenda: Feb. 1, 1993 SUBJECT: widdle St. Croix Watershed Management Organization Perro Cree Stu.y BACKGROUND INFORMATION The St. Croix Watershed Management Plan was adopted on September 11, 1991. The St. Croix Watershed Management Organization (MSCWMO) requires participating local governments to prepare or update local water management plans. To date, the City of Bayport has not addressed a specific local water management plan. One of the major watershed components within the City of Bayport, is drainage of the Prison Pond through Perro Creek, which runs through the City of Bayport. In 1973, water draining from the Prison Pond into Perro Creek, caused flooding conditions of individual's properties adjacent to Perro Creek. Following the flooding, property owners went to District Court to force the City to find a solution to flooding. The District Court issued an injunction prohibiting the City from increasing water flow volume in Perro Creek. In addition to controlling the volume of water flowing in Perro Creek during the summer, the City is faced with ice buildup in Perro Creek during the winter which can cause flooding of private property and residences. In past winters, the City has been able to prevent water from coming down Perro Creek by having the Prison engage a pump on their site drawing water from the Prison Pond and dumping it into a storm sewer on the Prison property. However, in the winter of 1992, the pump failed to operate and has not operated since. Consequently, the only way to prevent the Prison Pond from overflowing County Road 21, is for the City to operate Perro Creek on warm winter days, to prevent the pond from overflowing. To date, the City has been very fortunate because we have had some unusually warm winter days allowing us to draw down the Prison Pond. The arrangement we currently have is a disaster waiting to happen. If we are not able to intermittently run the Creek during warm winter days, the Prison Pond would eventually overflow County Road 21 and we would lose all control of water volume coming down Perro Creek. Additionally, if this were to happen on a cold winter day, we would experience icing in Perro Creek causing the Creek to flow out its channel and flood private homes. . 1 • J • To help address this problem and to address an important element of the City's local water management plan, the City of Oak Park Heights, Baytown Township, Stillwater and Bayport are considering undertaking a joint Perro Creek Scoping Study. The Middle St. Croix Watershed ManagementOrganization has been meeting perio ica ov_er_..the..--past year-.-to -isolate key task_ elements and cos s as ociated with_complet ng_a Perro Creek Sc_ogi.ng_S_tudy:----The has been working with Jeff Davis of Short, Elliott, Hendrickson to define the work task and cost of Perro Creek Scoping Study. The purpose of the study is to define feasible methods to maintain a relatively consistent level of Perro Creek Pond during all times of the year. As part of the Perro Creek Scoping Study, the MSCWMO has identified a set of basic tasks (givens) which must be completed along. with 5 options to maintain a constant level of the Prison Pond. The summary of the givens and options follows: I. Givens. A. Develop contour mapping. SEH currently has a U.S. Geological maps which have a scale of 1 inch equals 2, 000, with 10 foot to 20 foot contour lines. To do a accurate job of determining the watershed area and water flow rate, it is necessary to develop new contour maps which would have a scale of 1 inch equals 100 feet and have contour intervals of 2 feet. B. Hydrology/Hydraulics Analysis. 1. Run off characteristics. 2 . Rainfall events. 3 . Culvert and ditch capacities. 4 . Water surface profile. 5 . Field surveys. 6 . Design new outlet for Prison Pond. 7 . Look at 5 and 10 year storm for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. 8 . Design ditch for 100-year Type One AMC-2 Precipitation Event. Ii. Options A. Option 1.\ 1. Review capacity of existing culverts and ditch in Perro Creek from the Prison Pond to the intersection of 2nd Street North and 3rd Avenue North. 2 . Make recommendation for improvements on culverts and ditches related to Perro Creek as defined in No. 1. r • 3. Raise County Road No. 21 to prevent th ison-) (--- from overflowing the road during water intervals. B. Option 2 . • 1. Determine the effect of an additional water storage pond on Minnesota State Prison property. 2 . Perform soil borings in the area to determine storage characteristics. C. Option 3. 1 . Review the capacity of existing culverts and ditches on Perro Creek from 3rd Avenue North to 5th Avenue South. 2 . Make recommendations and improvements based on Uv 1 �9� the study of culverts and ditch size as outlined in No. 1. \t D. D. Option 4 . . W D1. Preliminary design of a diversion structure if for Perro Creek. The diversion structure would take water from Perro Creek at the intersection of 3rd Avenue North and 2nd Street and divert it directly east into the St. Croix River. 2 . The diversion outlet would, hopefully, eliminate the need for any improvements on Option 3, which has Perro Creek flowing south from 3rd Avenue North to 5th Avenue South. E. Option 5. • 1. Preliminary design of a gravity or pump outlet on the north end of the Prison Pond. 2 . Make recommendations for improvements regarding a gravity or pump outlet. 3 . Perform a Phase One Environmental Site Assessment on the Trinity Lutheran Church property. The gravity outlet or pump outlet would be required to cross Trinity Lutheran Church's property. 4. Construct a preliminary operation plan based on the feasibility of a gravity or pump • S ' outlet. 5 . Perform soil borings on the Trinity Lutheran Church site to determine the feasibility of placing a pipe on the property. COST ASSOCIATED WITH THE STUDY ELEMENTS The following is a summary of the costs associated with each of the previously outlined design elements. 621 ) Contour mapping and related work $ 23,000.00 2.

Borings ($2,500.00, Option 5) 2 .500.00 Total Estimate Fee 73,769.00 COST ALLOCATION FOR PERRO CREEK SCOPING STUDY The MSCWMO determined the most equitable way to finance the study would be to apportion costs to the respective four communities of Stillwater, Oak Park Heights, Baytown Township and Bayport based on each communities watershed acreage contributing to Perro Creek Watershed. Based on the analysis completed by SEH, the following table lists the community and the number of acres contributing to the Perro Creek Watershed. 1. Bayport - 300 acres 2 . Baytown - 551 acres 3. Oak Park Heights - 728.5 acres 4. Stillwater - 66 acres The total Perro Creek Watershed acreage is 1, 645 .5 acres. The per acre cost of the Study is determined by dividing the overall cost of the Study, $73,769.00, by the total Perro Creek Watershed acreage of 1, 645 .5 acres which equals a cost of $44 .83 per acre. To determine each community's cost, I have constructed Table 110 2 . Table 2 illustrates the total cost of the Study to each City along with the reduced cost to each City, if the Cities are successful in applying for a DNR Grant to fund 50% of the project.

At the MSCWMO meeting of November 4, 1992, Joe Gibson of the DNR, explained the Flood Damage/Hazard Reduction Grant Program to members of the Organization. He indicated, he believed this Study has a good possibility of receiving Grant money from the DNR. He noted, it would be necessary for the local governments to complete an application to seek 50% funding for the Perro Creek Scoping Study. He noted the application would need to be completed in March or April and Grant funding would be determined in June or July of 1993 . The MSCWMO has gone on record as supporting a Grant application for the Perro Creek Scoping Study and has asked Tim Fredbo of the Washington County Soil and Water Conservation District to prepare the Grant application if all the local governments authorize its preparation. Representatives from Baytown Township Board, Stillwater City Council, Oak Park Heights City Council and Bayport City Council met at a Special Meeting at the Stillwater City Hall on Wednesday, January 27, at 7 : 00 PM. The purpose of the meeting was for these representatives to hear a presentation made by Jeff Davis of SEH. Mr. Davis gave a history of Perro Creek and its Watershed area, along with indicating problems associated with how the Perro Creek Watershed area presently functions. Mr. Davis also outlined the rational for a Perro Creek Scoping Study along with the Study components and Options . Following Mr. Davis' presentation, the members in attendance adopted a motion to ask the local governments of Stillwater, Baytown Township, Oak Park Heights and Bayport to adopt a resolution which would include the following: 1. Authorize SEH to conduct the Perro Creek Scoping Study for a total amount not to exceed $73, 769.00. 2 . That each community commit to paying their share of the Perro Creek Scoping Study, determined by a cost allocation based on the number of Watershed Acres in each community times an acre unit cost. 3. The local government authorize Tim Fredbo of the • III Washington County Soil and Water Conservation District, prepare a Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Flood Damage/Hazard Reduction Grant application on behalf of the City. PRESENTATION OF FERRO CREEK STUDY I recognize that some Councilmembers have not been heavily involved in discussions of the Perro Creek Scoping Study.
