## ITEM DESCRIPTION: Recycling Cart Update
## Background
Roseville purchased City-branded carts from Toter LLC. and carts were shipped to the City during the week
of May 26, 2025. Cart delivery started on Friday May 30, 2025, and ContainerPros completed rolling out
11,058 new carts on June 12, 2025.
City staff received over 1,000 requests for cart replacements, cart drop offs, etc. Staff finished with the cart
request calls on July 24, 2025. The high call volume for the City was due to the timing of the cart swap in
relation to the transition from Eureka Recycling to Waste Management. During this time Waste
Management’s call center was not equipped to take calls from Roseville residents and get their requests to
the proper staff to be resolved.
Currently Waste Management handles all cart-related concerns.
## Recommendation
Receive updates from staff and ask follow-up questions.

## ITEM DESCRIPTION: Annual MS4 Stormwater Public Meeting
## Background
In 2003, Roseville received a permit from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency regarding how the City
manages the discharge of stormwater into public waters. The overall program goal is to reduce the amount
of sediment and pollutants that enter surface water from storm sewer systems. We have proposed to do this
through a number of activities as required, ranging from best management practices to education of the
public about how they can help to reduce pollution. We have attached a draft copy of the City’s Annual
Report. Staff will present a summary of this information at the meeting, including the recently completed
requirements of the permit.
This is a required public information meeting where city residents are encouraged to share their comments
and feedback regarding the City’s proposed Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), and the
implementation of the past year’s report. The report and findings from this meeting will be part of our
documentation for our permit.
## Recommendation
Receive Public Comments regarding the City’s Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program.

prevention practices within any portion of the normal wetted perimeter of a temporary or permanent
drainage ditch or swale section with a continuous slope of greater than two percent.
## 72.A.8.
D Owner(s)/operator(s) must provide temporary or permanent energy dissipation at all pipe outlets within 24
hours after connection to a surface water or permanent stormwater treatment system.
72.A.9. D Owner(s)/operator(s) must not disturb more land (i.e., phasing) than can be effectively inspected and
maintained.
72.B. Sediment control practices:
72.B.1. D Owner(s)/operator(s) must establish sediment control BMPs on all down gradient perimeters of the site and
downgradient areas of the site that drain to any surface water, including curb and gutter systems.
Owner(s)/operator(s) must locate sediment control practices upgradient of any buffer zones.
Owner(s)/operator(s) must install sediment control practices before any upgradient land-disturbing activities
begin and must keep the sediment control practices in place until they establish permanent cover.
72.B.2. D If the downgradient sediment controls are overloaded, based on frequent failure or excessive
maintenance requirements, owner(s)/operator(s) must install additional upgradient sediment control
practices or redundant BMPs to eliminate the overloading and amend the site plans to identify these
additional practices.
72.B.3. D Temporary or permanent drainage ditches and sediment basins designed as part of a sediment
containment system (e.g., ditches with rock-check dams) require sediment control practices only as
appropriate for site conditions.
72.B.4. DA floating silt curtain placed in the water is not a sediment control BMP to satisfy perimeter control
requirements in this part except when working on a shoreline or below the waterline. Immediately after
the short term construction activity (e.g. installation of rip rap along the shoreline) in that area is
complete, owner(s)/operator(s) must install an upland perimeter control practice if exposed soils still
drain to a surface water.
72.B.5. D Owner(s)/operator(s) must re-install all sediment control practices adjusted or removed to accommodate
short-term activities such as clearing or grubbing, or passage of vehicles, immediately after the short-term
activity is completed. Owner(s)/operator(s) must re-install sediment control practices before the next
precipitation event even if the short-term activity is not complete.
72.B.6. D Owner(s)/operator(s) must protect all storm drain inlets using appropriate BMPs during construction until
they establish permanent cover on all areas with potential for discharging to the inlet.
72.B. 7. D Owner(s)/operator(s) may remove inlet protection for a particular inlet if a specific safety concern (e.g., street
flooding/freezing) is identified by owner(s )/operator(s) or the jurisdictional authority (e.g., city/county/township/
MnDOT engineer). Owner(s)/operator(s) must document the need for removal in the site plans.
## 72.B.8.
D Owner(s)/operator(s) must provide silt fence or other effective sediment controls at the base of stockpiles
on the downgradient perimeter.
## 72.B.9.
D Owner(s)/operator(s) must locate stockpiles outside of natural buffers or surface waters, including stormwater
conveyances such as curb and gutter systems unless there is a bypass in place for the stormwater.
72.B.10. D Owner(s)/operator(s) must install a vehicle tracking BMP to minimize the track out of sediment from the
construction site or onto paved roads within the site.
72.B.11. D Owner(s)/operator(s) must use street sweeping if vehicle tracking BMPs are not adequate to prevent
sediment tracking onto the street.
72.B.12. D In any areas of the site where final vegetative stabilization will occur, owner(s)/operator(s) must restrict
vehicle and equipment use to minimize soil compaction.
72.B.13. D Owner(s)/operator(s) must preserve topsoil on the site, unless infeasible.
72.B.14. D Owner(s)/operator(s) must direct discharges from BMPs to vegetated areas unless infeasible.
72.B.15. D Owner(s)/operator(s) must preserve a 50 foot natural buffer or, if a buffer is infeasible on the site, provide
redundant (double) perimeter sediment controls when a surface water is located within 50 feet of the
project's earth disturbances and stormwater flows to the surface water. Owner( s )/operator( s) must install

perimeter sediment controls at least 5 feet apart unless limited by lack of available space. Natural buffers
are not required adjacent to road ditches, judicial ditches, county ditches, stormwater conveyance channels,
storm drain inlets, and sediment basins. If preserving the buffer is infeasible, owner(s)/operator(s) must
document the reasons in the site plans. Sheet piling is a redundant perimeter control if installed in a manner
that retains all stormwater.
72.B.16. D Owner(s)/operator(s) must use polymers, flocculants, or other sedimentation treatment chemicals in
accordance with accepted engineering practices, dosing specifications and sediment removal design
specifications provided by the manufacturer or supplier. Owner(s)/operator(s) must use conventional
erosion and sediment controls prior to chemical addition and must direct treated stormwater to a sediment
control system for filtration or settlement of the floe prior to discharge.
72.C. Dewatering and basin draining:

(e.g., pumped discharges, trench/ditch cuts for drainage) to a temporary or permanent sediment basin on the
project site unless infeasible. Owner(s)/operator(s) may dewater to surface waters if they visually check to
ensure adequate treatment has been obtained and nuisance conditions (see Minn. R. 7050.0210, subp. 2)
will not result from the discharge. If owner(s)/operator(s) cannot discharge the water to a sedimentation basin
prior to entering a surface water, owner(s)/operator(s) must treat it with appropriate BMPs such that the
discharge does not adversely affect the surface water or downstream properties.
72.C.2. D If owner(s)/operator(s) must discharge water that contains oil or grease, owner(s)/operator(s) must use an
oil-water separator or suitable filtration device (e.g. cartridge filters, absorbents pads) prior to discharge.
## 72.C.3.
D Owner(s)/operator(s) must discharge all water from dewatering or basin-draining activities in a manner that
does not cause erosion or scour in the immediate vicinity of discharge points or inundation of wetlands in
the immediate vicinity of discharge points that causes significant adverse impact to the wetland.
72.C.4. D If owner(s)/operator(s) use filters with backwash water, they must haul the backwash water away for
disposal, return the backwash water to the beginning of the treatment process, or incorporate the
backwash water into the site in a manner that does not cause erosion.
72.D. Inspection and maintenance:
72.D.1. D Owner(s)/operator(s) must ensure that a trained person will inspect the entire construction site at least once
every seven (7) days during active construction and within 24 hours after a rainfall event greater than one
half inch in 24 hours.
72.D.2. D Owner(s)/operator(s) must inspect and maintain all permanent stormwater treatment BMPs.
72.D.3. D Owner(s)/operator(s) must inspect all erosion prevention and sediment control BMPs and Pollution
Prevention Management Measures to ensure integrity and effectiveness. Owner(s)/operator(s) must
repair, replace, or supplement all nonfunctional BMPs with functional BMPs by the end of the next
business day after discovery unless another time frame is specified below. Owner(s)/operator(s) may
take additional time if field conditions prevent access to the area.
72.D.4. D During each inspection, owner(s)/operator(s) must inspect surface waters, including drainage ditches
and conveyance systems but not curb and gutter systems, for evidence of erosion and sediment
deposition. Owner(s)/operator(s) must remove all deltas and sediment deposited in surface waters,
including drainage ways, catch basins, and other drainage systems and restabilize the areas where
sediment removal results in exposed soil. Owner(s)/operator(s) must complete removal and stabilization
within seven (7) calendar days of discovery unless precluded by legal, regulatory, or physical access
constraints. Owner(s)/operator(s) must use all reasonable efforts to obtain access. If precluded, removal
and stabilization must take place within seven (7) calendar days of obtaining access.
Owner(s)/operator(s) are responsible for contacting all local, regional, state and federal authorities and
receiving any applicable permits, prior to conducting any work in surface waters.
## 72.D.5.
D Owner(s)/operator(s) must inspect construction site vehicle exit locations, streets and curb and gutter
systems within and adjacent to the project for sedimentation from erosion or tracked sediment from
vehicles. Owner(s)/operator(s) must remove sediment from all paved surfaces within one (1) calendar day
of discovery or, if applicable, within a shorter time to avoid a safety hazard to users of public streets.
## 72.D.6.
D Owner(s)/operator(s) must repair, replace, or supplement all perimeter control devices when they become
nonfunctional or the sediment reaches one-half of the height of the device.
## 72. D. 7.
D Owner( s )/operator( s) must drain temporary and permanent sedimentation basins and remove the sediment
when the depth of sediment collected in the basin reaches one-half of the storage volume.
72.D.8. D Owner(s)/operator(s) must ensure that at least one individual present on the site (or available to the project
site in three (3) calendar days) is trained in the job duties of overseeing the implementation of, revising
and/or amending the site plans and performing inspections for the project.
72.D.9. D Owner(s)/operator(s) may adjust the inspection schedule as follows:
https://www.pea.state.mn .us
wq-strm4-49a • 9/23/20

inspections of areas with permanent cover can be reduced to once per month, even if construction
activity continues on other portions of the site; or
b.
where construction sites have permanent cover on all exposed soil areas and no construction activity is
occurring anywhere on the site, inspections can be reduced to once per month and, after 12 months,
may be suspended completely until construction activity resumes. The MPCA may require inspections
to resume if conditions warrant; or

seven (7) calendar days.
72.E. Inspection and maintenance:
72.E.1. D Owner(s)/operator(s) must place building products and landscape materials under cover (e.g., plastic
sheeting or temporary roofs) or protect them by similarly effective means designed to minimize contact with
stormwater. Owner(s)/operator(s) are not required to cover or protect products which are either not a
source of contamination to stormwater or are designed to be exposed to stormwater.
## 72.E.2.
D Owner(s)/operator(s) must place pesticides, fertilizers and treatment chemicals under cover (e.g., plastic
sheeting or temporary roofs) or protect them by similarly effective means designed to minimize contact
with stormwater.

solid washout wastes from contacting the ground and must design the containment so it does not result in
runoff from the washout operations or areas. Owner( s )/operator( s) must properly dispose of liquid and solid
wastes in compliance with Minn. R. ch. 7035. Owner(s)/operator(s) must install a sign indicating the location
of the washout facility.
72.F. Temporary sediment basins:
72.F.1. D Where ten (10) or more acres of disturbed soil drain to a common location, owner(s)/operator(s) must
provide a temporary sediment basin to provide treatment of the runoff before it leaves the construction site
or enters surface waters. Owner(s)/operator(s) may convert a temporary sediment basin to a permanent

D Where a temporary sediment basin meeting the requirements of this part is infeasible, owner(s)/operator(s)
must install effective sediment controls such as smaller sediment basins and/or sediment traps, silt fences,
vegetative buffer strips or any appropriate combination of measures as dictated by individual site conditions.
In determining whether installing a sediment basin is infeasible, owner(s)/operator(s) must consider public
safety and may consider factors such as site soils, slope, and available area on-site. Owner(s)/operator(s)
must document this determination of infeasibility in the site plans.
72.G. Termination conditions:
72.G.1. D Owner(s)/operator(s) must complete all construction activity and must install permanent cover over all
areas. Vegetative cover must consist of a uniform perennial vegetation with a density of 70 percent of its

serve an area with five (5) or more acres disturbed at one time.
## 72.H.3.
D Owner(s)/operator(s) must include an undisturbed buffer zone of not less than 100 linear feet from a
special water (not including tributaries) and must maintain this buffer zone at all times, both during
construction and as a permanent feature post construction, except where a water crossing or other
encroachment is necessary to complete the project. Owner(s)/operator(s) must fully document the
circumstance and reasons the buffer encroachment is necessary in the site plans and include restoration
activities. Owner(s)/operator(s) must minimize all potential water quality, scenic and other environmental
impacts of these exceptions by the use of additional or redundant (double) BMPs and must document
this in the site plans for the project.

plan of development or sale, within the permittee's jurisdiction and that discharge to the permittee's MS4. The permittee
must incorporate Section 20 requirements into their program. [Minn. R. 7090]
20.3 To the extent allowable under state or local law, the permittee must develop, implement, and enforce a regulatory
mechanism(s) that incorporates items 20.4 through 20.15. A regulatory mechanism(s) for the purposes of the General
Permit may consist of contract language, an ordinance, permits, standards, written policies, operational plans, legal
agreements, or any other mechanism, that will be enforced by the permittee. [Minn. R. 7090]
20.4 The permittee's regulatory mechanism(s) must require owners of construction activity to submit site plans with post-
construction stormwater management BMPs designed with accepted engineering practices to the permittee for review and
confirmation that regulatory mechanism(s) requirements have been met, prior to start of construction activity. [Minn. R.
7090]
20.5 The permittee's regulatory mechanism(s) must require owners of construction activity to treat the water quality volume on
any project where the sum of the new impervious surface and the fully reconstructed impervious surface equals one or
more acres. [Minn. R. 7090]
20.6 For construction activity (excluding linear projects), the water quality volume must be calculated as one (1) inch times the
sum of the new and the fully reconstructed impervious surface. [Minn. R. 7090]
20.7 For linear projects, the water quality volume must be calculated as the larger of one (1) inch times the new impervious
surface or one-half (0.5) inch times the sum of the new and the fully reconstructed impervious surface. Where the entire
water quality volume cannot be treated within the existing right-of-way, a reasonable attempt to obtain additional right-of-
way, easement, or other permission to treat the stormwater during the project planning process must be made. Volume
reduction practices must be considered first, as described in item 20.8. Volume reduction practices are not required if the
practices cannot be provided cost effectively. If additional right-of-way, easements, or other permission cannot be
obtained, owners of construction activity must maximize the treatment of the water quality volume prior to discharge from
the MS4. [Minn. R. 7090]
20.8 Volume reduction practices (e.g., infiltration or other) to retain the water quality volume on-site must be considered first
when designing the permanent stormwater treatment system. The General Permit does not consider wet sedimentation
basins and filtration systems to be volume reduction practices. If the General Permit prohibits infiltration as described in
Page 61 of 90
Permit issued: November 16, 2020 MNR040000
Permit expires: November 15, 2025 Page 13 of 28
item 20.9, other volume reduction practices, a wet sedimentation basin, or filtration basin may be considered. [Minn. R.
7090]
20.9 Infiltration systems must be prohibited when the system would be constructed in areas:
a. that receive discharges from vehicle fueling and maintenance areas, regardless of the amount of new and fully
reconstructed impervious surface;
b. where high levels of contaminants in soil or groundwater may be mobilized by the infiltrating stormwater. To make this
determination, the owners and/or operators of construction activity must complete the Agency's site screening assessment
checklist, which is available in the Minnesota Stormwater Manual, or conduct their own assessment. The assessment must
be retained with the site plans;
c. where soil infiltration rates are more than 8.3 inches per hour unless soils are amended to slow the infiltration rate below
8.3 inches per hour;
d. with less than three (3) feet of separation distance from the bottom of the infiltration system to the elevation of the
seasonally saturated soils or the top of bedrock;
e. of predominately Hydrologic Soil Group D (clay) soils;
f. in an Emergency Response Area (ERA) within a Drinking Water Supply Management Area (DWSMA) as defined in Minn. R.
4720.5100, Subp. 13, classified as high or very high vulnerability as defined by the Minnesota Department of Health;
g. in an ERA within a DWSMA classified as moderate vulnerability unless the permittee performs or approves a higher level
of engineering review sufficient to provide a functioning treatment system and to prevent adverse impacts to groundwater;
h. outside of an ERA within a DWSMA classified as high or very high vulnerability unless the permittee performs or approves
a higher level of engineering review sufficient to provide a functioning treatment system and to prevent adverse impacts to
groundwater;
i. within 1,000 feet up-gradient or 100 feet down gradient of active karst features; or
j. that receive stormwater runoff from these types of entities regulated under NPDES for industrial stormwater: automobile
salvage yards; scrap recycling and waste recycling facilities; hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal facilities; or air
transportation facilities that conduct deicing activities.
See "higher level of engineering review" in the Minnesota Stormwater Manual for more information. [Minn. R. 7090]
20.10 For non-linear projects, where the water quality volume cannot cost effectively be treated on the site of the original
construction activity, the permittee must identify, or may require owners of the construction activity to identify, locations
where off-site treatment projects can be completed. If the entire water quality volume is not addressed on the site of the
original construction activity, the remaining water quality volume must be addressed through off-site treatment and, at a
minimum, ensure the requirements of items 20.11 through 20.14 are met. [Minn. R. 7090]
20.11 The permittee must ensure off-site treatment project areas are selected in the following order of preference:
a. locations that yield benefits to the same receiving water that receives runoff from the original construction activity;
b. locations within the same Department of Natural Resource (DNR) catchment area as the original construction activity;
c. locations in the next adjacent DNR catchment area up-stream; or
d. locations anywhere within the permittee's jurisdiction. [Minn. R. 7090]
20.12 Off-site treatment projects must involve the creation of new structural stormwater BMPs or the retrofit of existing
structural stormwater BMPs, or the use of a properly designed regional structural stormwater BMP. Routine maintenance
of structural stormwater BMPs already required by the General Permit cannot be used to meet this requirement. [Minn. R.
7090]
20.13 Off-site treatment projects must be completed no later than 24 months after the start of the original construction activity.
If the permittee determines more time is needed to complete the treatment project, the permittee must provide the
reason(s) and schedule(s) for completing the project in the annual report. [Minn. R. 7090]
20.14 If the permittee receives payment from the owner of a construction activity for off-site treatment, the permittee must
apply any such payment received to a public stormwater project, and all projects must comply with the requirements in
items 20.11 through 20.13. [Minn. R. 7090]
20.15 The permittee's regulatory mechanism(s) must include the establishment of legal mechanism(s) between the permittee and
owners of structural stormwater BMPs not owned or operated by the permittee, that have been constructed to meet the

b. are designed to preserve the permittee's right to ensure maintenance responsibility, for structural stormwater BMPs not
owned or operated by the permittee, when those responsibilities are legally transferred to another party; and
c. are designed to protect/preserve structural stormwater BMPs. If structural stormwater BMPs change, causing decreased
effectiveness, new, repaired, or improved structural stormwater BMPs must be implemented to provide equivalent
treatment to the original BMP. [Minn. R. 7090]
20.16 The permittee must maintain a written or mapped inventory of structural stormwater BMPs not owned or operated by the
permittee that meet all of the following criteria:
a. the structural stormwater BMP includes an executed legal mechanism(s) between the permittee and owners responsible

requirements in the General Permit. Measurable requirements are activities that must be documented or tracked (e.g.,
education and outreach efforts, implementation of written plans, inventories, trainings, site plan reviews, inspections,
enforcement, etc.). The permittee must perform the annual assessment prior to completion of each annual report and
document any modifications made to the SWPPP as a result of the annual assessment. [Minn. R. 7090]
25.3 The permittee must submit an annual report : Due annually, by the 30th of June. The annual report must cover the portion
of the previous calendar year during which the permittee was authorized to discharge stormwater under the General
Permit. The annual report shall be submitted to the Agency, in a manner determined by the Agency, that includes but is not
limited to:
a. the status of compliance with permit terms and conditions, including an assessment of the appropriateness of BMPs
identified by the permittee and progress towards achieving the measurable requirements of each of the MCMs. The
assessment must be based on results of information collected and analyzed, including monitoring (if any), inspection
findings, and public input received during the reporting period;
b. the stormwater activities the permittee plans to undertake during the next reporting cycle;
c. a change in any identified BMPs for any of the MCMs;
d. the summary required in item 22.2 to demonstrate progress toward achieving applicable WLAs;
e. information required to be recorded or documented in Sections 13 through 24; and
f. a statement that the permittee is relying on a partnership(s) with another regulated small MS4(s) to satisfy one or more
permit requirements (if applicable), and what agreements the permittee has entered into in support of this effort. [Minn. R.
7090]

26.13 The permittee must give advance notice to the Commissioner as soon as possible of planned physical alterations or
additions to the permitted facility (MS4) or activity that may result in noncompliance with a Minnesota or federal pollution
control statute or rule or a condition of the General Permit. [Minn. R. 7001.0150, Subp. 3(M)]
26.14 The General Permit is not transferable to any person without the express written approval of the Agency after compliance
with the requirements of Minn. R. 7001.0190. A person to whom the permit has been transferred must comply with the
conditions of the General Permit. [Minn. R. 7001.0150, Subp. 3(N)]

27.7 "Commissioner" means the Commissioner of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency or the Commissioner's designee.
[Minn. Stat. 116.36, subd. 3]
27.8 "Common Plan of Development or Sale" means a contiguous area where multiple separate and distinct land disturbing
activities may be taking place at different times, on different schedules, but under one proposed plan. One plan is broadly
defined to include design, permit application, advertisement or physical demarcation indicating that land-disturbing
activities may occur. [Minn. R. 7090]
27.9 "Construction Activity" means activities including clearing, grading, and excavating, that result in land disturbance of equal
to or greater than one acre, including the disturbance of less than one acre of total land area that is part of a larger
common plan of development or sale if the larger common plan will ultimately disturb equal to or greater than one acre.
This includes a disturbance to the land that results in a change in the topography, existing soil cover, both vegetative and
nonvegetative, or the existing soil topography that may result in accelerated stormwater runoff that may lead to soil
erosion and movement of sediment. Construction activity does not include a disturbance to the land of less than five acres
for the purpose of routine maintenance performed to maintain the original line and grade, hydraulic capacity, and original
purpose of the facility. Routine maintenance does not include activities such as repairs, replacement and other types of
non-routine maintenance. Pavement rehabilitation that does not disturb the underlying soils (e.g., mill and overlay
projects) is not construction activity. [Minn. R. 7090]
27.10 "DNR Catchment Area" means the Hydrologic Unit 08 areas delineated and digitized by the Minnesota DNR. The catchment
areas are available for download at the Minnesota DNR Geospatial Commons website. DNR catchment areas may be locally

27.11 "Existing Permittee" means an owner/operator of a small MS4 that has been authorized to discharge stormwater under a
previously issued general permit for small MS4s in the state of Minnesota. [Minn. R. 7090]
27.12 "Fully reconstructed" means areas where impervious surfaces have been removed down to the underlying soils. Activities
such as structure renovation, mill and overlay projects, and other pavement rehabilitation projects that do not expose the
underlying soils beneath the structure, pavement, or activity are not considered fully reconstructed. Maintenance activities
such as catch basin repair/replacement, utility repair/replacement, pipe repair/replacement, lighting, and pedestrian ramp
improvements are not considered fully reconstructed. [Minn. R. 7090]
27.13 "General permit" means a permit issued under Minn. R. 7001.0210 to a category of permittees whose operations,
emissions, activities, discharges, or facilities are the same or substantially similar. [Minn. R. 7001.0010, Subp. 4]
27.14 "Geographic Coordinates" means the point location of a stormwater feature expressed by X, Y coordinates of a standard
Cartesian coordinate system (i.e. latitude/longitude) that can be readily converted to Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM),

27.16 "Illicit Discharge" means any discharge to a municipal separate storm sewer that is not composed entirely of stormwater
except discharges pursuant to a NPDES permit (other than the NPDES permit for discharges from the municipal separate
storm sewer) and discharges resulting from firefighting activities. [40 CFR 122.26(b)(2)]
27.17 "Impaired Water" means waters identified as impaired by the Agency, and approved by the USEPA, pursuant to section
303(d) of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 303(d)). [Minn. R. 7090]
27.18 "Linear project" means construction of new or fully reconstructed roads, trails, sidewalks, or rail lines that are not part of a
common plan of development or sale. For example, roads being constructed concurrently with a new residential
development are not considered linear projects because they are part of a common plan of development or sale. [Minn. R.
7090]
27.19 "Maximum Extent Practicable" or "MEP" means the statutory standard (33 U.S.C. 1342(p)(3)(B)(iii)) that establishes the
level of pollutant reductions that an owner or operator of regulated MS4s must achieve. The USEPA has intentionally not
provided a precise definition of MEP to allow maximum flexibility in MS4 permitting. The pollutant reductions that
represent MEP may be different for each small MS4, given the unique local hydrologic and geologic concerns that may exist
and the differing possible pollutant control strategies. Therefore, each permittee will determine appropriate BMPs to
satisfy each of the six Minimum Control Measures (MCMs) through an evaluative process. The USEPA envisions application
of the MEP standard as an iterative process. [Minn. R. 7090]
27.20 "Municipal separate storm sewer system" or "MS4" means a conveyance or system of conveyances including roads with
drainage systems, municipal streets, catch basins, curbs, gutters, ditches, man-made channels, or storm drains:
a. owned or operated by a state, city, town, county, district, association, or other public body, created by or pursuant to
state law, having jurisdiction over disposal of sewage, industrial wastes, stormwater, or other wastes, including special
districts under state law such as a sewer district, flood control district, or drainage district or similar entity, or an Indian
tribe or an authorized Indian tribe organization, or a designated and approved management Agency under section 208 of
the federal Clean Water Act, United States Code, title 33, section 1288, that discharges into waters of the state;

coverage under the General Permit. [Minn. R. 7090]
27.22 "Non-Stormwater Discharge" means any discharge not composed entirely of stormwater. [Minn. R. 7090]
27.23 "Operator" means the person with primary operational control and legal responsibility for the MS4. [Minn. R. 7090.0080,
Subp. 10]
27.24 "Outfall" means the point source where a MS4 discharges to a receiving water, or the stormwater discharge permanently
leaves the permittee's MS4. It does not include diffuse runoff or conveyances that connect segments of the same stream or
water systems (e.g., when a conveyance temporarily leaves an MS4 at a road crossing). [Minn. R. 7090]

private corporation, or other entity. [Minn. Stat. 115.01, subd. 10]
27.28 "Pipe" means a closed manmade conveyance device used to transport stormwater from location to location. The definition
Page 72 of 90
Permit issued: November 16, 2020 MNR040000
Permit expires: November 15, 2025 Page 24 of 28
of pipe does not include foundation drain pipes, irrigation pipes, land drain tile pipes, culverts, and road sub-grade drain
pipes. [Minn. R. 7090]
27.29 "Receiving Water" means any lake, river, stream or wetland that receives stormwater discharges from an MS4. [Minn. R.
7090]
27.30 "Reduce" means reduce to the Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP) unless otherwise defined in the context in which it is
used. [Minn. R. 7090]
27.31 "Seasonally Saturated Soil" means the highest seasonal elevation in the soil in a reduced chemical state because of soil
voids filled with water causing anaerobic conditions. Seasonally saturated soil is evidenced by the presence of
redoximorphic features or other information determined by scientifically established methods or empirical field
measurements. [Minn. R. 7090]
27.32 "Section" includes all item numbers of the same whole number. For example, "Section 5" of the General Permit refers to
items 5.1 through 5.5. [Minn. R. 7090]

Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA); fertilizers, pesticides, and waste products such as ashes, slag, and sludge that have
the potential to be released with stormwater discharges. When determining whether a material is significant, the physical
and ch
emical characteristics of the material should be considered (e.g. the material's solubility, transportability, and toxicity
characteristics) to determine the material's pollution potential. [40 CFR 122.26(b)(12)]
27.34 "Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System" or "small MS4", means all separate storm sewers that are:
a. Owned or operated by the United States, a state, city, town, borough, county, parish, district, association, or other public
body (created by or pursuant to state law) having jurisdiction over disposal of sewage, industrial wastes, stormwater, or

manage and reduce the discharge of pollutants in stormwater to and from the small MS4. [Minn. R. 7090]
27.38 "Structural Stormwater BMP" means a stationary and permanent BMP that is designed, constructed, and operated to
prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants in stormwater. [Minn. R. 7090]
27.39 "Total Maximum Daily Load" or "TMDL" means the sum of the individual Waste Load Allocations for point sources and load
allocations for nonpoint sources and natural background, as more fully defined in 40 CFR 130.2, paragraph (i). A TMDL sets
and allocates the maximum amount of a pollutant that may be introduced into a water of the state and still assure
attainment and maintenance of water quality standards. [Minn. R. 7052.0010, Subp. 42]
27.40 "Waste Load Allocation" or "WLA" means the portion of a receiving water's loading capacity that is allocated to one of its
existing or future point sources of pollution, as more fully defined in Code of Federal Regulations, title 40, section 130.2,
paragraph (h). In the absence of a TMDL approved by USEPA under 40 CFR 130.7, or an assessment and remediation plan
developed and approved according to Minn. R. 7052.0200, Subp. 1.C, a WLA is the allocation for an individual point source
that ensures that the level of water quality to be achieved by the point source is derived from and complies with all
applicable water quality standards and criteria. [Minn. R. 7052.0010, Subp. 45]

27.45 "Wetlands" means those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface water or groundwater at a frequency and
duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically
adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas.
Constructed wetlands designed for wastewater treatment are not waters of the state. Wetlands must have the following
attributes:
a. a predominance of hydric soils;
b. inundated or saturated by surface water or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support a prevalence
of hydrophytic vegetation typically adapted for life in a saturated soil condition; and

5. Public Comments 64
Vice Chair Hodder commented that Clean Up Day was a major success, noting the 65
large turnout and long wait times due to high participation. 66
67
Member Brokaw Palalay agreed that Clean Up Day was very successful, noting the 68
long wait but smooth process, and suggested holding the event more than once a 69
year due to its popularity. 70
71
Public Works Director Freihammer noted that Clean Up Day was very successful, 72
with a strong turnout, good weather, and satisfied vendors, and said that updated 73
statistics would be shared next month. He added that while some communities have 74
tried hosting the event twice a year, many have returned to once annually due to 75
lower participation at one of the events, so expanding to two events is unlikely, 76
without significant demand. 77

6. Business Items 82
a. Communication Items 83
Assistant Public Works Director Jennifer Lowry provided a brief review and 84
update on projects and maintenance activities listed in the staff report dated 85
April 28, 2026. 86
87
Ms. Lowry provided a brief update on ongoing City projects, noting progress 88
on facility planning, upcoming council discussions, and multiple construction 89
efforts, including roadway projects, sewer work, and pathway development, 90
many of which are moving forward with favorable bid pricing. She also 91
highlighted coordination on signage installation and acknowledged numerous 92
county and state projects underway, warning that while travel may be 93
challenging during construction, improvements will benefit the community 94
long term. 95
96
Ms. Lowry provided updates on upcoming and ongoing regional projects, 97
including timelines, public meetings, and major road closures, noting that 98
several projects may impact travel through the State Fair period. She also 99
shared that the City has reapplied for water efficiency rebate funding, with 100
program updates expected, and confirmed that some funds remain available 101
this year due to additional funding received from Met Council. 102
103
Chair Ficek asked for clarification on how many awards or devices are 104
included in the water efficiency rebate program. 105
106
Ms. Lowry estimated that the initial funding supported about 120 rebates, with 107
additional funds added later, and explained that standard rebates are capped at 108
$300 per address. In contrast, equity-based rebates can reach $600 or even 109
$1,200 for certain items, such as washing machines. She noted the updated 110
program is more comprehensive and complex, but ultimately an improvement. 111
112
Member Fergus asked whether the rebate limits apply per item or if the $300 113
cap is the total allowed per address. 114
115
Ms. Lowry clarified that the standard rebate would remain capped at $300 per 116
address, applied as a water bill credit, while equity-based rebates could be 117
additional and vary by device, in accordance with Met Council guidelines. She 118
noted that the updated program is expected to launch on July 1, alongside other 119
sustainability initiatives, including an internship program, a native plant sale, 120
a shredding day, and recent Earth Day cleanup efforts. 121
122
Ms. Lowry shared brief council updates, noting that Roseville appointed a 123
representative to the Falcon Heights Les Bolstad Golf Course redevelopment 124
Page 82 of 90
Page 4 of 11
advisory committee, though no proposals have been received yet. She also 125
mentioned that a closed session was held to discuss a potential offer to the 126
VFW, and an offer has since been made. 127
128
Vice Chair Hodder asked for clarification about the potential offer to the VFW, 129
specifically whether it relates to the license and dance studio portion of the 130
project. 131
132
Mr. Freihammer clarified that the City is considering purchasing a portion of 133
the VFW parking lot to create shared parking access, not the building itself, 134
and the VFW would continue operating as usual. 135
136
Chair Ficek asked when the delineators for the bike lanes on Hamline Avenue 137
will be installed. 138
139
Ms. Lowry said installation of the bike lane delineators on Hamline Avenue is 140
pending county street sweeping, which is expected within the next couple of 141
weeks, possibly sooner. 142
143
## b. Approve Bike Plan 144
Assistant Public Works Director Lowry provided a brief review and update on 145
projects and maintenance activities listed in the staff report dated April 23, 146
2026. 147
148
Ms. Lowry provided an overview of the City’s first bike-specific plan, 149
explaining that it originated from the capital improvement plan and was 150
supported by an MnDOT grant that paired the City with consultants and other 151
communities. She described the extensive process, including public 152
engagement, surveys, workshops, and a working committee made up of City 153
staff, residents, and partner agencies, all contributing to shaping the plan and 154
refining it into a more concise document with additional technical appendices. 155
156
She highlighted key findings, including gaps in the current bike network, safety 157
concerns, and the need for more consistent, user-friendly infrastructure, 158
especially for riders who are less comfortable sharing the road with traffic. 159
Engagement results showed strong community interest, with hundreds of 160
survey responses and comments identifying desired routes, problem areas, and 161
opportunities for improvement, along with feedback from a demonstration bike 162
lane project on Hamline Avenue. 163
164
Ms. Lowry explained that the plan introduces a proposed bike network with two 165
tiers: a primary grid of major routes designed for all users and secondary traffic-166
calmed neighborhood connections, and acknowledges that many key corridors 167
are outside the City's direct control and will require coordination with county 168
and state partners. She emphasized that this plan is just the first step, with future 169
Page 83 of 90
Page 5 of 11
work focused on prioritization, additional outreach, equity considerations, 170
funding, and implementation through partnerships and ongoing projects. 171
172
Member Fergus pointed out a minor issue in Appendix B, noting that the 173
community engagement section appears to repeat content and does not include 174
the demonstration project. 175
176
Ms. Lowry explained that the demonstration project was not included in 177
Appendix B because it was added as a separate appendix. 178
179
Member Fergus noted another minor concern, pointing out that several photos 180
in the plan show people biking without helmets and suggesting the City may 181
want to consider whether that is appropriate. 182
183
Ms. Lowry acknowledged the concern about helmet use in the photos, noting it 184
had come up in past work as well, and pointed out that helmet use is not legally 185
required. She asked whether there would be any objection to editing the images 186
to include helmets. 187
188
Member Fergus explained it was not a major issue, but suggested that future 189
versions include more images of people wearing helmets, especially since some 190
pages show none. 191
192
Member Brokaw Palalay appreciated the example from Lyndale Avenue in 193
Richfield, noting that it helps residents visualize higher-quality bike 194
infrastructure beyond basic painted lanes. She encouraged continuing to include 195
such examples to broaden understanding and support improved bike facilities. 196
197
Ms. Lowry explained that many examples were included in the appendices to 198
keep the main document concise while still providing valuable visuals for future 199
engagement and discussions, noting that a shorter main report is more 200
accessible for residents. 201
202
Member Brokaw Palalay reiterated appreciation for including a clear example 203
in the main document, noting that even a single visual helps residents better 204
understand what improved bike infrastructure could look like without 205
overwhelming the report. 206
207
Chair Ficek reflected positively on his involvement in developing the bike plan, 208
praising the collaborative process, the finalized vision statement, and the more 209
concise summary format. He emphasized that the plan is a strong first step and 210
should remain a living document that continues to evolve, noting the 211
importance of ongoing updates and implementation to achieve the long-term 212
vision. 213
214
Page 84 of 90
Page 6 of 11
Member Luongo asked for clarification that the draft prioritization in the 215
appendix would remain preliminary even after the bike plan is approved, and 216
confirmed that prioritization will be addressed as a next step. 217
218
Ms. Lowry explained that the bike plan is more conceptual compared to the 219
pathway master plan, which involves more detailed, segment-by-segment 220
engagement. She noted that while some outreach was conducted, additional 221
steps and input will be needed before implementation, and the council’s 222
discussion will help guide the plan's next steps. 223
224
Member Luongo asked whether the map intentionally shows only public 225
schools and whether there was a specific reason private schools were not 226
included. 227
228
Ms. Lowry said it was not intentional that only public schools were shown. She 229
explained that before using schools as a planning factor, the city would need to 230
more clearly define and refine which types of schools or facilities to consider. 231
232
Motion 233
Member Fergus moved, and Member Luongo seconded, to recommend 234
that the City Council approve the bike plan. 235
236
Ayes: 9 237
Nays: 0 238
Motion carried. 239
240
Ms. Lowry explained that the plan will be presented to the Parks Commission 241
before going to council, likely in June, to keep the process moving forward. She 242
noted that the goal is to align the bike plan with the pathway master plan over 243
time, avoid separate prioritization efforts, and gain council support to proceed 244
with next steps. 245
246
## c. Pathway Master Plan – Continued Segment Review 247
Public Works Director Freihammer provided a brief review and update on 248
projects and maintenance activities listed in the staff report dated April 28, 249
2026. 250
251
Chair Ficek noted this was a continuation of prior discussions and that the group 252
would review the segments with the intent to vote on a recommendation for 253
approval, and asked for clarification on the exact wording of the motion. 254
255
Mr. Freihammer explained that the group is continuing to review and refine the 256
pathway master plan by working through existing and proposed segments, 257
aiming to reach a consensus rather than a formal vote. He noted that as they 258
move further down the list, segments may be less prominent or more complex, 259
and introduced the next segment for discussion, a proposed connection along 260
Page 85 of 90
Page 7 of 11
Pascal Street between County Road B and Commerce Street, originally added 261
based on resident feedback. 262
263
The commission reached a consensus to leave the previous segment as is. 264
265
Mr. Freihammer introduced a “constellation link” concept, which focuses on 266
connecting parks rather than strictly following roadway corridors. He explained 267
that the next segment would connect Applewood Park to Autumn Grove Park, 268
potentially using existing and new pathways. He asked whether the group 269
should expand the plan to include additional residential connections, such as 270
## Arona Street. 271
272
Member Brokaw Palalay, speaking from her experience living in the 273
neighborhood, expressed strong support for adding the connection, noting that 274
residents already frequently walk between these two parks even without a 275
formal pathway. She explained that Applewood Park is relatively small, so 276
people often extend their walks by looping through the surrounding area, and 277
completing this connection would create a more seamless and enjoyable route 278
for walking dogs, exercising, and everyday recreation. She added that the 279
distance between the parks is short and practical, making it an easy 280
improvement with meaningful benefit, especially given the nearby apartment 281
complexes that would likely generate consistent foot traffic. While 282
acknowledging other nearby pathway improvements, she emphasized that this 283
local connection serves a different purpose and would still see strong use from 284
neighborhood residents. 285
286
Chair Ficek raised a counterpoint, questioning whether it is necessary to 287
designate a specific residential street for a pathway when nearby multiple streets 288
already provide low-speed, walkable north-south connections. He emphasized 289
the importance of consistency in how the commission approaches adding 290
residential streets to the plan, recalling prior discussions on whether such 291
designations are needed when similar alternatives already exist. 292
293
Mr. Freihammer responded that while consistency is important, each situation 294
can be evaluated on its own merits, and the group does not need to apply a rigid, 295
one-size-fits-all standard. 296
297
Chair Ficek noted that in past discussions, the group has generally avoided 298
adding residential street segments, though it is not a strict rule, and there have 299
been exceptions. He offered this as a consideration for consistency as the group 300
evaluates the current segment. 301
302
Member Luongo questioned whether property owners would be assessed for a 303
sidewalk. 304
305
Page 86 of 90
Page 8 of 11
Chair Ficek clarified that there are no direct assessments to property owners for 306
adding a pathway or sidewalk, but noted that impacts such as placement, trees, 307
and space can lead to pushback, especially on very local streets. He explained 308
that residential streets often have less need for separated pedestrian 309
infrastructure due to lower traffic. In contrast, collector roads like Lydia Avenue 310
and County Road C2 carry higher volumes, making such infrastructure more 311
appropriate. 312
313
Members Brokaw Palalay and Fergus agreed to maintain consistency, 314
expressing support for not adding the residential connection, given that nearby 315
routes like Hamline Avenue and County Road C2 are expected to provide 316
adequate pathway infrastructure. 317
318
Mr. Freihammer explained that while some residential segments, like East 319
Snelling Service Drive, were added due to high parking demand and limited 320
walkability, that situation is unique and not comparable to most neighborhood 321
streets. He noted that Arona Street and similar streets have lower traffic and less 322
consistent parking issues, making a pathway harder to justify and more difficult 323
to defend to residents, especially when nearby streets have similar conditions. 324
Based on that, he suggested removing the segment to remain consistent with 325
past practice and avoid unnecessary impacts. 326
327
Member Luongo asked whether a separate pathway segment for Lydia Avenue 328
was already planned, and whether that connection had been addressed 329
previously. 330
331
Mr. Freihammer confirmed that Lydia Avenue is already included as a separate 332
pathway segment and noted that it was reviewed and retained in the plan during 333
the previous meeting. 334
335
Member Brokaw Palalay clarified that her earlier support was based on current 336
conditions, noting that people rely on informal routes because nearby roads, 337
such as County Road C2 and Hamline Avenue, lack safe walking infrastructure. 338
She acknowledged, however, that with planned improvements to those routes, 339
the need for a residential connection may be less critical. 340
341
Mr. Freihammer noted that while the map shows many planned connections, 342
relatively little has been built so far. However, Hamline Avenue is a good 343
starting point, with future priorities including Lydia Avenue and County 344
Road C2. He indicated the Arona segment would likely rank low and supported 345
its removal, then introduced the next constellation link connecting County 346
Road B2 to Acorn Park via Galtier and Matilda Streets, noting that it runs 347
through a residential area with limited park access and minimal traffic demand. 348
349
Member Luongo, speaking from personal experience living in the area, 350
explained that she regularly walks along these streets and does not see a need 351
Page 87 of 90
Page 9 of 11
for an off-street pathway on Galtier or Matilda. She noted that traffic volumes 352
are low, making it comfortable to walk in the street, and added that the nearby 353
park access point does not generate significant vehicle demand. While she 354
acknowledged occasional busier periods, such as when disc golfers are present, 355
she emphasized that overall usage does not justify additional infrastructure and 356
suggested that, if anything, Transit Street might be a more logical location for 357
improvements. 358
359
Mr. Freihammer added that no pathway segments are currently planned along 360
Transit Street and noted that some existing sidewalks in the area were installed 361
to meet past development requirements rather than as part of a coordinated 362
long-term connectivity plan. He explained that many commercial properties 363
were historically required to install sidewalks adjacent to their parcels, which is 364
why some segments appear disconnected today. 365
366
Based on Member Luongo’s input and the broader discussion about consistency 367
and need, Mr. Freihammer agreed that the proposed segment would be difficult 368
to justify and supported removing it from the plan, a decision the group 369
ultimately agreed to. 370
371
Mr. Freihammer explained that this segment follows a partially platted but 372
unused right-of-way that was originally intended for a roadway connection that 373
was never completed. He noted the corridor could potentially serve as a 374
pathway connection and help break up a long half-mile gap between streets, but 375
it has remained a conceptual line on the plan with no recent public input or clear 376
origin. 377
378
The discussion among commission members centered on balancing long-term 379
connectivity goals with consistency, practicality, and community impact when 380
evaluating pathway segments. 381
382
Member Fergus generally emphasized a practical, resident-focused perspective, 383
often questioning whether new pathways were truly necessary in low-traffic 384
residential areas where walking in the street is already comfortable. He 385
highlighted the importance of consistency with past decisions, noting that 386
similar residential streets had not been prioritized, and supported removing 387
segments that did not clearly improve safety or access. 388
389
Chair Ficek reinforced this consistency lens, reminding the group that while 390
exceptions can be made, the commission has historically been cautious about 391
adding pathways on local residential streets unless there is a clear need, such as 392
higher traffic volumes or safety concerns. He also clarified that even conceptual 393
segments can raise concerns among residents, particularly when they affect 394
trees, yards, or perceived changes to neighborhood character. 395
396
Page 88 of 90
Page 10 of 11
Member Brokaw Palalay brought a more experiential, safety-oriented 397
perspective, often referencing how people actually use the area today. She 398
highlighted situations where the current infrastructure is lacking, such as unsafe 399
or incomplete walking routes. She encouraged thinking beyond street 400
classifications to consider real-world behavior, safety risks, and broader 401
connectivity, including system-level issues such as crossing major roads. 402
403
Mr. Freihammer provided technical context throughout, explaining the origins 404
of segments, existing right-of-way constraints, historical planning decisions, 405
and feasibility challenges. He frequently pointed out that many segments are 406
conceptual, may require significant engineering or property acquisition, and 407
would undergo additional public engagement before implementation. He also 408
emphasized prioritization, noting that lower-ranked segments are less likely to 409
be built and should be evaluated carefully to avoid unrealistic expectations. 410
411
Across the discussion, the group consistently weighed whether segments should 412
remain as long-term concepts or be removed to maintain a clear, realistic, and 413
defensible plan. The overall approach reflected a balance between preserving 414
future opportunities for connectivity, especially where a right-of-way exists, 415
and ensuring the plan remains consistent, practical, and aligned with actual 416
community needs. 417
418
## 7. Commission Direction on Member-Initiated Agenda Items 419
420
Mr. Freihammer outlined the upcoming schedule, noting that the May PWETC 421
meeting has been moved up to May 19, 2026, and will focus on a waste 422
management and recycling update and a stormwater presentation. He added that 423
June will include preparation for a joint council meeting, a review of the climate 424
equity action plan for recommendations, and a discussion of leaf site 425
recommendations, to bring key items to the council and inform residents ahead of 426
the fall cleanup season. 427
428
Chair Ficek noted that the packet includes future agenda topics and encouraged 429
members to suggest additional items for consideration. 430
431
Member Brokaw Palalay asked whether the City has had any recent discussions 432
about implementing a citywide organized trash collection program, similar to the 433
unified recycling system, and suggested it might be worth considering as a future 434
agenda topic. 435
436
Mr. Freihammer explained that a citywide organized trash collection program is 437
ultimately a council-directed initiative and is typically revisited every year or two. 438
