The update will include the City's primary drinking water supply wells, including Wells No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5. As outlined in the attached memorandum from City Engineer Duncan, the proposed work will include delineation of the Wellhead Protection Areas (WHPAs), vulnerability assessments of the wells and aquifer, delineation of the Drinking Water Supply Management Area (DWSMA), and preparation of all required reports and documentation for MDH review and approval. The project will be completed in accordance with Minnesota Rules. Approval of the proposal will authorize the City Engineer to proceed with the work necessary to complete the Part 1 Wellhead Protection Plan update and submit the required documentation to the Minnesota Department of Health for approval. ## FISCAL ## IMPACT: Included in the 2026 budget. ## STAFF ## RECOMMENDATION: Approval of Resolution 26-078 Authorize Ordering Part One of the Well Head Protection Plan Update. Page 18 of 75 Page 1 of 4 ## MEMORANDUM Date: May 15, 2026 ## To: Dawn Meyer – City Administrator, City of Belle Plaine ## Todd Otto– Public Works Superintendent, City of Belle Plaine From: D. Joseph Duncan II, P.E. – City Engineer, Bolton & Menk, Inc. ## Subject: Scope and Fee Proposal ## Wellhead Protection Plan – Part 1 ## Project Understanding This memorandum presents our understanding of the update to Part 1 of the City’s Wellhead Protection Plan (WHP) and the work that will be implemented to meet the objective and goals. This proposal outlines the tasks necessary for delineation of the wellhead protection area (WHPA), well and aquifer vulnerability assessments, and associated reporting requirements commonly required by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH). We are enlisting the technical expertise of Speros Environmental, specifically Dave Hume and his staff, as he completed the City’s two previous Part 1 plans. The update to Part 1 of the City’s WHP will include City Wells No. 3, No. 4, and new well No. 5. (Minnesota Well Index [MWI] Unique Nos. 538038, 651697, and 889659). Only these primary wells will be included in the updated groundwater model and objectives noted below. This proposal will meet the requirements for updating Part 1 of the City’s WHP Plan following Minnesota Rules (MR) 4720.5100 to 4720.5590 to obtain approval from the MDH. The objectives are as follows: • Assemble the necessary data elements • Delineate the WHPAs for the City wells ## • Conduct Surface Water Contribution Area Delineation (if warranted) ## • Delineate the Drinking Water Supply Management Area (DWSMA) • Conduct well and aquifer vulnerability assessments • Complete the final report and deliverable requirements • Conduct / Attend Project meetings The approach is based on our team’s familiarity with the MDH requirements, and staff who have completed more than 40 Part 1 WHP Plan projects in Minnesota, and conducted hydrogeologic assessments of the Quaternary-age sand and gravel aquifer that the City’s wells are completed in. Spheros has compiled and reviewed the following information, which provided the basis for our Project approach: the MDH Scoping Decision Notice, well logs from the MWI Database, maps from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) and Minnesota Geological Survey (MGS) Page 19 of 75 Page 2 of 4 Scott County Hydrogeologic Atlases, MetroModel (MM2), the groundwater model completed for the previous Amendment, a January 2026 Well Siting Technical Memorandum completed by Spheros (formerly LRE Water), communication with MDH staff, and the previous 2014 Part 1 WHP Plan Amendment completed by the project team. A successful Part 1 WHP Plan is developed through a comprehensive analysis and evaluation of existing data and new data obtained by performing several distinct tasks. The Team will approach the project by completing the proposed tasks in an efficient and cost-effective manner that addresses the specific aspects of the wellfield and meets the requirements of the MDH and MR 4720.5100 to 4720.5590. The ultimate goal of the WHP Plan is to ensure that the aquifer utilized by the City is protected for use as a current and future potable water source. The first phase of this process is to delineate the WHPAs. This is accomplished by characterizing the local hydrogeology, developing/updating a site specific conceptual hydrogeologic model, delineating the 1-, 5-, and 10-year times-of-travel (capture zones) used to delineate the WHPAs for all City wells, and assessing the vulnerability of the wells and the aquifer(s) within the delineated DWSMA. The need for a surface water delineation will be evaluated given the source aquifer and vulnerability. Therefore, costs for a conjunctive delineation are included in this proposal. To begin the WHPA delineation process, initial collection of the data elements that will be outlined in the scoping meeting notes will be completed. Typically, most of this information is available through the public domain. Using the assembled data, Spheros will make a general evaluation of these criteria and build upon existing information to refine the existing conceptual hydrogeologic model that is specific to the City and surrounding area. Following development of the initial conceptual hydrogeologic model, Spheros will discuss the delineation criteria and the WHPA delineation method with MDH. The following scope and costs are based on our understanding of the City’s current well field and the experience of the project Team completing the previous City WHP Plans, completing the recent 2026 Well Field Expansion Desktop Assessment, and completing WHP Plans for wells completed in Quaternary-age buried sand and gravel aquifers for other communities. ## I. Scope Elements The Scope of Services presented herein provide clear assumptions and exclusions associated with the work. This proposal outlines the tasks necessary for delineation of the wellhead protection area (WHPA), assessment of the well and aquifer vulnerability, and associated reporting requirements commonly required by the MDH. ## Task 1: Assemble Data Elements Our review of the MDH’s Scoping Decision Notice and our understanding of the MDH requirements and MODFLOW modeling will allow us to efficiently complete the update. A Determination of Aquifer Properties - Aquifer Test Plan (DAP-ATP), will be required by the Page 20 of 75 Page 3 of 4 wellhead rule to document the aquifer transmissivity used in the delineation process. This task includes preparation of the DAP-ATP. No additional aquifer testing is anticipated, but new data may be incorporated compared to the previous 2014 Plan. In addition, reports, maps, hydrogeologic cross sections, publications, and personal communication with City and MDH staff will also provide information. This proposal assumes that no additional cross sections will be needed as part of this Plan. ## Task 2: Delineate WHPAs Using MODFLOW Spheros will plan to update the local-scale numerical flow model that includes the City and was previously created as part of the previous Amendment. This local model will be a recalibrated portion of the MM2 by refining the model grid and updating the model layers in the area of the City with geologic information obtained since the completion of the model during the last plan in 2014. Spheros will use MODFLOW to simulate the flow field and delineate the WHP Areas. The previous model will be converted from GMS format to Groundwater Vistas, and Groundwater Vistas will be used and will provide the City with a cost-effective, flexible, and appropriate model. Once the model is created, the required time-of-travel zones will be used to determine the WHP Areas for City wells. Pumping rates applied to each well will be based on the maximum daily volume determined from either: 1) the previous 5 years; or, 2) the projected annual pumping over the next 5 years. Following the initial WHPA delineation from this task, Spheros will calibrate the model and complete the sensitivity analysis as required by the MDH. The costs associated with modeling in Task 2 assume the aquifer parameters and hydrogeologic information in the existing MODFLOW model are reasonably calibrated and significant changes to the conceptual model and aquifer parameters will not be required. Additionally, it is assumed that MDH will not require the use of MetroModel 3 (MM3), which is a newer version of MM2. If MDH requires MM3 to be used as a starting point for this Amendment, additional effort will be needed to complete Task 2. (Spheros will provide an updated modeling fee for Task 2, if needed.) ## Task 3: Conduct Surface Water Contribution Area Delineation (if warranted) The potential need for a Surface Water Capture Area (SWCA) will be assessed. If needed, it will be delineated based on high vulnerability of the aquifer below surface water features. It is likely that either the DNR’s Level-9 Auto-Catchment watershed boundaries or sewersheds will be used to delineate a SWCA, pending communication with MDH. ## Task 4: Delineate the DWSMA Following completion of Tasks 1 through 3, the Team will work with the City and MDH in delineating the boundaries of the DWSMA. The DWSMA includes the surface and subsurface area surrounding the wells and follows the WHPA as closely as possible in accordance with the rules. The boundaries of the DWSMA will be identified using landmarks as defined in the rules. To simplify the City’s management of the resulting DWSMA, particular focus will be on using Minnesota Department of Transportation (MNDOT) road centerlines and quarter section boundaries while also not splitting existing parcels into multiple parts. ## Task 5: Assess Well Field and DWSMA Vulnerability Spheros will assist with the vulnerability assessment within the DWSMA in accordance with MR Page 21 of 75 Page 4 of 4 4720.5210. The assessment will follow the MDH’s guidance document, Assessing Well and Aquifer Vulnerability for Wellhead Protection. The assessments will include a review of well construction details to evaluate individual well vulnerability. Spheros will evaluate data from the above tasks to assess the vulnerability of the target aquifers underlying the DWSMA. This will include review of geologic logs, cross sections and maps, and existing groundwater chemistry and any isotopic data. ## Task 6: Complete and Assemble Part 1 Update Following completion of the above tasks, a draft update will be prepared. The draft will include the conceptual hydrogeologic model, model input and the results used to delineate the WHPAs, DWSMA, and well and aquifer vulnerability assessments. After review of the draft, a final report will be prepared which incorporates comments received from the project team, City, and MDH staff. Supporting data files that are project-specific and define aquifer characteristics used in the model will be delivered in ArcGIS format. ## Task 7: Project Meetings The Team is scoping up to three meetings total with two being required by MDH: one for the required pre-delineation meeting with the MDH hydrologist; the second will be an interim meeting with the Team and the MDH to discuss the modeling results and determine if expectations have been met. The assumption is for all meetings with MDH to be held virtually. ## II. Schedule Upon receiving authorization, the Team will initiate the Scope of Services, with an expected completion timeframe of 8 months from the notice to proceed. Delays caused by major changes in the project plans or by circumstances beyond our control may extend the time of completion. This will allow for over half of the Project timeline ahead of the March 2029 deadline for completion of Parts 1 and 2. ## III.

City Council members toured the existing facility with City staff and received detailed information regarding the current condition of the building, including deficiencies related to compliance with current regulatory and operational standards. A preliminary facility plan was presented at the January 20, 2026, City Council Work Session. Following discussion, it was the consensus of the majority of the Council to proceed with preparation of construction documents. Bolton and Menk has since completed the construction documents for the proposed project. At the meeting, Megan McColloch-Vencil of Bolton and Menk will present the final plans and estimated costs of the project. Staff is requesting Council discussion and authorization to advertise the project for bids. Authorization to advertise for bids does not constitute approval to proceed with construction. Once bids are received, they will be presented to the City council for review and consideration.

This prioritization is essential to align the City’s infrastructure needs with available financial ability of the City to address those needs. Key factors considered in determining project priority include pavement surface condition, maintenance history, utility infrastructure materials and the age and overall condition of existing systems. This information is brought forward to the Public Works Committee for review and recommendation. Based on this assessment, the Public Works Committee is recommending that the City Council direct the City Engineer to prepare a Preliminary Engineering Report for the full reconstruction of Linden Street from Main Street to Park Street and Prairie Street from Elm Street to Ash Street. The recommendation also includes Ash Street from Main Street to Park Street if sanitary televising warrants. Reconstruction shall include municipal improvements to watermain, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, bituminous pavement, curb and gutter, ADA accessibility, lighting and concrete walk. Also included are reclamation/resurfacing improvements on Orchard Street from Meridian Street to Hickory Blvd, Aspen Lane, East Commerce Drive from Main Street to 900’ south. The assessment will further determine the proper sequencing of the reconstruction area and provide a recommendation for appropriate phasing with respect to the City’s approximate annual budget for bonded municipal improvements, which are intended to address critical infrastructure needs and support the long-term sustainability of the City’s public works system. Approval of Resolution 26-080 does not constitute approval to proceed with construction. Further review by Council is needed before the proposed project is determined. ## FISCAL ## IMPACT: Included in the 2027 budget. ## STAFF ## RECOMMENDATION: Approval of Resolution 26-080 Authorizing Preliminary Report for the Proposed 2027 Improvement Project.
