UNFINISHED BUSINESS
11. DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED CHARTER AMENDMENTS
Council Member Lofdahl asked that the Council discuss this item a bit as the item will be voted on
at the next Council meeting. Council Member Lofdahl is suggesting that the ordinance be sent back
to the Charter Commission and perhaps consider eliminating Section 2.09. Council Member
Lofdahl also asked the Council to consider four-year mayoral terms and have the voters vote on it.
Matthew Jaunich, City Administrator, noted that the proposed revision to Section 2.09 grants the
Council the authority to cancel an election if only one person files for office. Council Member
Lofdahl noted that with a four-year mayoral term it offers some things to the candidate and he also
feels that having the item on the 2016 ballot will allow for very good voter turnout. Lofdahl also
thought that 2.09 should be voted on by the people.
Mayor Forcier concurred that the four-year mayoral term item should be brought before the voters.
Council Member Arndt commented that he is not in favor of a four-year mayoral term, however he
feels the people should vote on it. He would actually be in favor of two-year council member terms.
Council Member Lofdahl spoke on some benefits of a four-year mayoral term.
The Council and city attorney spoke about the procedures to amend the City Charter.

staff has rescheduled the previously communicated project neighborhood meeting date to Monday,

PROPOSED STREET IMPROVEMENTS
The City of Hutchinson is considering pavement reconstruction/rehabilitation measures on
segments of Linden Avenue, Madson Avenue, Milwaukee Avenue, Church Street, West Shore
Drive and Grove Street this year to address deficiencies in existing pavement conditions. The street
adjacent to your property has been identified as needing repair by the City's Pavement Management
Program. Per City staff s review, these roadways are being selected for improvement during the
2016 construction season based on the current pavement condition, proximity of project areas, and
the timing of the most cost-effective construction method. At this point, these proposed project
areas are only being considered and are subject to not being addressed this coming summer/fall
depending on City funding limitations and/or City Council action.
The majority of the existing street surfacing is significantly deteriorated with substantial
cracking/movement along some areas of the proposed improvements. Due to these segments of
roadway being in poor condition, preventive maintenance measures are not likely to adequately
repair the current surface and are becoming less cost-effective.
The proposed improvements to these roadways include administering a partial reconstruction or
reclamation method that would primarily include milling/removing the existing pavement, concrete
curbing installations/replacements, draintile installations, limited utility work, some sidewalk
implementations, street lighting, landscaping/restoration, and new bituminous pavement course
surfacing. The proposed improvements have shown to be an efficient and cost-effective
construction approach.
ASSESSMENTS
A portion of the total cost of these improvements (50% targeted per City policy) will be assessed to
the adjacent private properties on a street -frontage basis. Estimated assessment amounts will be
provided at the Neighborhood Meeting. Also, please note that certain property owners may be
eligible for deferral of an assessment depending on their age, a defined disability situation, and/or
military service status as outlined within Minnesota Statutes and City Policy. Additional
information regarding assessment deferral opportunities is available at the Finance Department
office (City Center — 111 Hassan St. SE).
HEARINGS/PROCESS
This Neighborhood Meeting is the first step in the process and, as noted previously, is scheduled to
occur Tuesday, February 2nd (rescheduled for Monday, February 8th, as noted above). This
meeting will be an informal discussion regarding the project with City staff, to review current
information regarding what the project is proposed to include and to receive a preliminary estimate
of what project special assessments may be. Due to the project being in an early development stage,
these estimates are subject to change. This informal discussion will also allow individual
questions/comments to be heard and for a general review of the project to occur prior to the first
official hearing required by improvement special assessment procedures.
The first official hearing, the Public Hearing, is currently scheduled for the City Council meeting
on February 9, 2016, at 6:00 PM. This meeting will be televised and is the formal presentation of
the proposed project to the City Council. Public input time is included and feedback is welcomed.
Approval at this hearing does not mean that the project will be constructed. This will be the point at
which a formal decision will be made by the City Council as to whether or not City staff should
move on to the next step of completing the plans and specifications and soliciting construction bids
for completing the work.
The second official hearing, the Assessment Hearing, would be called after receiving the bids
(probably sometime in April). Staff would prepare actual proposed assessments for each property,
and send them out in advance of the meeting. Property owners will then be given the opportunity to
comment on the merits of both the project and the proposed amount of the assessments. Questions,
thoughts and concerns regarding the project or associated assessments would be heard by the City
Council, and official action on whether or not to award the work for construction would be taken.
To formally contest an assessment, a written/signed objection letter must be provided to the City
Administrator prior to or at the Assessment Hearing. This action then allows you, the property
owner, to appeal an assessment to District Court pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 429.081 by
serving notice of the appeal upon the Mayor or City Administrator within 30 days after the adoption
of the assessment (typically the Assessment Hearing date) and filing such notice with the District
Court within ten days after service upon the Mayor or City Administrator.
SCHEDULE & CONSTRUCTION ITEMS
Construction is anticipated to start in late spring/early summer of 2016. The project should be
completed within one construction season (weather dependent).
GENERAL INFORMATION
Please feel free to contact Kent Exner/City Engineer at 234-4209 or kexnergci.hutchinson.mn.us if
you have any questions or comments you would like addressed. We look forward to discussing the
proposed project improvements with you.
Thank you for your time and consideration!

BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION OF AGENDA ITEM:
Since December 1996 City staff has utilized the "Stormwater Management Plan for Portions of the City of Hutchinson"
as a guide for storm water planning purposes. There has been numerous regulatory and technical changes related to
municipal storm water since that time.
In 2007 the City of Hutchinson became a regulated Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System owner and has since
been required to implement a variety of storm water best management practices ranging from public education to
scheduled infrastructure inspections. The Local Surface Water Management Plan (LSWMP) is a comprehensive
collection of the various applicable regulations, local water resources, regulatory agencies, storm water system issues
assessment, and implementation plan.
The LSWMP is a compilation of existing regulations that are already being implemented and enforced. It is a one stop
guide for City of Hutchinson storm water requirements. It also serves as a planning tool used to identify routine
on-going storm water program implementation costs as well as capital improvements needed to address issues with
water quality and water quantity throughout the City. Table 6.1 outlines the projects, programs, studies, and Storm
Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) activities that have been identified to address the problem areas contained
in this Plan. Please note that the City's Resource Allocation Committee has briefly reviewed this document and
specifically examined the items listed within Table 6.1.
City staff will be available to present an overview of the plan and to answer any questions that you or the public may
have.

SECTION 1
1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1. 1. Local Water Management Plan Purposes
The City of Hutchinson's Local Surface Water Management Plan (Plan, City Plan,
Local Plan) is a local management plan that has been written to be consistent with the
requirements of Minnesota Statutes 10313.235, Minnesota Rules 8410. Minnesota
Statute 10313.201 states that the purposes of the water management programs are to:
• Protect, preserve, and use natural surface and groundwater storage and retention
systems;
• Minimize public capital expenditures needed to correct flooding and water quality
problems;
• Identify and plan for means to effectively protect and improve surface and
groundwater quality;
• Establish more uniform local policies and official controls for surface and
groundwater management;
• Prevent erosion of soil into surface water systems;
• Promote groundwater recharge;
• Protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitat and water recreational facilities; and
• Secure the other benefits associated with the proper management of
surface and groundwater.
The Hutchinson Local Surface Water Management Plan addresses these purposes.
1.2. Local Surface Water Management Responsibilities and Related Agreements
The City of Hutchinson (the City) has not entered into any water management related
agreements with its neighboring cities, the County, or the State of Minnesota, other than on
a project -specific agreement for BMPs constructed to meet water quality requirements.
The City is responsible for construction, maintenance, and operation of the City's storm
water management systems (i.e., ponds, pipes, channels).
1.3. Executive Summary
The Hutchinson Local Surface Water Management Plan is divided into six sections:
• Section I Executive Summary provides background information and summarizes
the Plan contents.
• Section 2 Land and Water Resource Inventory presents information about the
topography, geology, groundwater, soils, land use, public utilities, surface waters,
hydrologic system and data, and the drainage system.

SECTION 1
• Section 3 Agency Cooperation describes the City's ordinances and other
governmental controls and programs that affect water management.
• Section 4 Assessment of Problems and Issues presents the City's water
management related problems and issues.
• Section 5 Goals and Policies outlines the City's goals and policies pertaining to
water management.
• Section 6Implementation Program presents the implementation program for
the City, which includes defining responsibilities, prioritizing, and listing the
program elements. Table 6.1 outlines the projects, programs, studies, and Storm
Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) activities that have been identified to
address the problem areas contained in this Plan.
1.3.1. Background
McLeod County adopted a Comprehensive Local Water Plan in 2013. The
McLeod County Plan addresses water problems in the context of watershed units
and groundwater systems. In addition, The City of Hutchinson is located in the
south fork of the Crow River watershed, so the Crow River Organization of Water
assists in guiding local water resources policies. The City is not located in a
watershed district.

SECTION 2
2. LAND AND WATER RESOURCE INVENTORY
The City, located approximately 50 miles west of downtown Minneapolis, is surrounded by
lakes, wetlands, and valuable water and land resources. Protecting and enhancing these
important resources is a high priority for the City and the surrounding area. Information has
been collected regarding land and water resources for the City from a variety of sources.
This section of the Plan provides a general description and summary of the climate, geology,
surficial topography, surface and ground water resource data, soils, land use, public utilities
services, water-based recreation, fish and wildlife habitat, unique features, scenic areas, and
pollutant sources. This section also identifies where more detailed information can be
obtained.
2.1. Topography and Geology
The City is located in the northwest area of McLeod County as shown on Figure 1,
Appendix A. The area is characterized by nearly flat to gently rolling topography, with
the highest ground being in the north central portion of the City. Hutchinson is bordered by
Otter and Campbell Lake to the west and through the central portion of the city where it
continues on as the South Fork Crow River past the Hutchinson Dam. All of the City's
surface water drains to Otter Lake and the South Fork Crow River. The City has contour
data that covers the entire City and is based on 2011 LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging)
Data.
According to the McLeod County Geologic Atlas from the Minnesota Geologic Survey, the
depth to bedrock in the Hutchinson area ranges from approximately 400-500 feet below
ground surface.
2.2. Climate and Precipitation
The climate for McLeod County, about one hour west of the Minneapolis/St. Paul
metropolitan area, is described as a humid continental climate with moderate precipitation,
wide daily temperature variations, warm humid summers, and cold winters. The average
annual temperature is 44.3 degrees Fahrenheit. The total average annual precipitation is
approximately 26.9 inches. The annual snowfall average is 42.9 inches and is equivalent to
approximately 4.3 inches of water. Average monthly temperature and precipitation are
shown in Table 2-1 below. Additional climatological information for the area can be
obtained from the Minnesota State Climatology Office at http://www.climate.umn.edu/.
The recurrence interval of a rainfall event is based on the probability that a particular storm
event will reoccur in any given year. A 24-hour rainfall event having a 99% chance of
occurrence is approximately 2.4 inches. A 24-hour rainfall event having a 1% chance of
occurrence is approximately 6.9 inches. The 1%, 10 -day runoff is 7.1 inches (this is a
combination of snowmelt and precipitation when the ground is frozen and no infiltration
can occur and is from Figure 2-1 (A) of the National Engineering Handbook, Section 4,
Hydrology, Soil Conservation Service, August 1972). Additional rainfall events and

2.3. Soils
The City is predominantly located in five different soil associations:
Clarion -Harps -Glencoe, Clarion-Canisteo-Storden, Estherville-Coland-Biscay,
Cokato-Storden-Muskego, and Cokato-Canisteo-Cordova. Soil textures, infiltration
rates, and slopes can vary greatly between the different soil associations. Infiltration
rates of soils affect the amount of direct runoff resulting from rainfall; the higher the
Local Surface Water Management Plan
City of Hutchinson
WSB Project No. 2702-00
Page 2-2
SECTION 2
infiltration rate for a given soil, the lower the runoff potential. Conversely, soils with
low infiltration rates produce high runoff volumes and high peak discharge rates. More
information about the local soils can be obtained from the Soil Survey ofMcLeod County
or The McLeod County Comprehensive Local Water Plan.
2.4. Land Use and Zoning
The City is approximately nine square miles with a 2014 population of 14,124. In
Hutchinson, population size is growing at a faster rate than the city area, resulting in an
increased trend in population density. The Current Zoning Map is shown in Figure 2.
The Future Land Use Map is shown in Figure 3. The City of Hutchinson
Comprehensive Plan was adopted on December 10, 2013. For more information on
Land Use and Zoning within the City, refer to the Comprehensive Plan which can be
found on the City website (http://www.ci.hutchinson.mn.us/).
2.5. Public Utilities
Hutchinson provides sanitary and water service throughout the City. In 2008, the
Hutchinson wastewater facility underwent a major expansion to help serve the needs of the
City through the year of 2028, with a maximum capacity of 9.62 million gallons per day
(mgd). The upgrade was designed to treat an average of 3.67 mgd using biological and
membrane bioreactor (MBR) processes. Prior to discharging into the South Fork River, the
water is treated with chemical phosphorus removal and ultraviolet disinfection. In addition
to the treatment facility, there are also areas of the City that utilize individual Subsurface
Sewage Treatment Systems (SSTS).
Public water services are described in Subsection 2.7 Groundwater.
Storm sewers, ditches, curbs, and gutters provide storm water drainage for the City. The
storm sewer map (Figure 4) shows the City's storm water system of pipes, channels and
ponds. Future street maintenance and redevelopment will likely dictate the extension or
reconstruction of the storm drainage system. Mapping of storm water utilities will be
updated as improvements of the system are completed to stay in compliance with MS4
requirements.
2.6. Surface Waters
Figure 5 shows the major water resources in the City. The following table lists the named
DNR -protected lakes and wetlands within the City and the associated ordinary High
Water Level.

SECTION 2
The Wetland Conservation Act of 1991 (WCA) dictates that Local Government Units
(LGUs) are responsible for administering the rules. The intent of the WCA is to promote
no net loss of wetlands. McLeod County is the LGU responsible for administering WCA
within the City. Refer to Figure 5 for the location of National Wetland Inventory (NWI)
wetlands throughout the City. A soils map is also included for reference as Figure 6.
2.6.1. Water Quality Data
Water quality data for the City has been obtained from the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency (MPCA) Environmental Data Access site. This database is utilized
by participating agencies to compile water quality testing data and is almost
entirely used for the storage of water quality parameters. This water quality
monitoring information/data and monitoring locations can be found at the MPCA's
Environmental Data Access site
at http://www.pca.state.mn.us/index.php/water/water-monitoring-and-reporting/w
ater-monitoring-and-reporting. html .
2.6.2. Impaired Waters
The MPCA lists the following water bodies located within or near the City as
being impaired:
• Otter Lake (Main Basin ID — 43-0085-01) is listed as impaired for mercury
in fish tissue and excessive nutrients/eutrophication
• Otter Lake (South Arm ID — 43-0085-02 and North Arm/Campbells ID —
43-0085-03) is listed as impaired for mercury in fish tissue
• South Fork Crow River (Headwaters to Hutchinson Dam:
ID -07010205-540) is listed as impaired for mercury in fish, turbidity, fishes
bioassessments and aquatic macroinvertab rate bioassessments
• South Fork Crow River (Hutchinson Dam to Bear Creek:
ID -07010205-510) is listed as impaired for mercury in fish and turbidity
As of 2015, TMDL studies are currently underway for Otter Lake and the South
Fork Crow River as part of a Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy
(WRAPS) study being conducted for the South Fork Crow Watershed. The
locations of these impaired water bodies are shown on the water resource problem
areas map, Figure 7, Appendix A.
2.6.3. Shoreland
The City has an adopted a shoreland management ordinance. A copy of this
ordinance can be found under Title XV: Land Usage in Chapter 152
at http://www.amlegal.com/codes/client/hutchinson_mn/ or obtained at City Hall.
This ordinance requires setbacks from shoreland areas, and limits the type of
development and use of the City's shoreland areas.

SECTION 2
2.6.4. Flood Plain Management
The City has adopted a flood plain management ordinance. A copy of this
ordinance can be found under Title XV: Land Usage in Chapter 154
at http://www.amlegal.com/codes/client/hutchinson mn/ or obtained at City Hall.
This ordinance generally regulates developments, land alterations and uses within
each of the floodway, flood fringe, and general flood plain districts.
2.6.5 Storm Water Management
The City has adopted a storm water management ordinance that can be found under
Title V: Public Works in Chapter 54: Storm Water Management
at http://www.amlegal.com/codes/client/hutchinson mn/ or obtained at City Hall.
This ordinance identifies several features related to the City's storm water
management and erosion control goals and controls.
2.7. Groundwater
Various agencies are responsible for groundwater management and protection. The DNR
regulates groundwater usage rate and volume as part of its charge to conserve and use the
waters of the state. For example, suppliers of domestic water to more than 25 people or
applicants proposing a use that exceeds 10,000 gallons per day or 1,000,000 gallons per
year must obtain a water appropriation permit from the DNR. Many of the agencies
charged with regulating water usage are currently involved in assessing and addressing
concerns of water usage. When and where feasible the City will work with the associated
agencies to be good stewards of water resources. The Minnesota Department of Health
(MDH) is the official state agency responsible for addressing all environmental health
matters, including groundwater protection. For example, the MDH administers the well
abandonment program and regulates installation of new wells. The MPCA administers and
enforces laws relating to pollution of the state's waters, including groundwater. The
Minnesota Geological Survey provides a complete account of the state's groundwater
resources. The City is charged with general responsibilities for groundwater protection and
use, but its role is limited to cooperating and assisting the DNR, MDH, and MPCA in their
groundwater protection efforts.
Continued research about infiltration impacts and groundwater recharge is ongoing with
the goal to help develop a better overall understanding of this groundwater/infiltration
interaction.
The City owns and operates five wells located within City limits. The wells draw from an
aquifer located approximately 100 feet below ground surface. The Hutchinson Water
Treatment Plant uses membrane technology to soften the water and reduce ammonia;
biological filtration to reduce iron and manganese; and ammonia to meet treatment
requirements within its site constraints. Treated water from the biological pressure filters,
Local Surface Water Management Plan
City of Hutchinson
WSB Project No. 2702-00
Page 2-5
SECTION 2
which use nonpathogenic organisms to remove iron, manganese, and ammonia, is blended
with the membrane permeate. The blended water's pH is increased to control corrosion.
Disinfection and fluoridation complete the treatment process. Once treated, the pumped
water is sent into the City's water distribution system.
2.8. Hydrologic and Hydraulic Modeling
The City's previous storm water management plan was drafted by Barr Engineering
Company in 1996. The plan included modeling the water quality and water quantity
issues for five specific portions of the City with the aid of PONDNET and HydroCAD
software. The previous plan proposed recommendations based upon the plan's findings
and identified expected outcomes. City-wide modeling has not been completed.
2.9. NPDES Phase II
The City is required to have a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit
through the MPCA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II
Program. MS4s designated by rule are urban areas with populations over 10,000 or urban
areas with populations greater than 5,000 with the potential to discharge to valuable or
polluted waters. Permits for construction sites greater than one acre will also be required
as part of Phase II.
As an MS4, the City will be required to implement the following six minimum control
measures:
1. Public Education and Outreach
2. Public Participation/Involvement
3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
4. Construction Site Storm Water Runoff Control
5. Post -Construction Storm Water Management
6. Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
For more information on the MS4 Permit requirements refer to www.pca.state.mn.us.
Refer to Appendix B for a copy of the City's MS4 SWPPP (Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan).
2.10. Water Resource Problem Areas
Water resource problem areas were identified through information obtained from City
staff, residents, and other agencies. Each problem was analyzed and potential solutions to
address the problems were developed as detailed in Section 4. Refer to Figure 7 for the
location of site-specific problem areas. The following is a list of some of the water
resource problem areas within the City:

3. AGENCY COOPERATION
There are a number of local, state, and federal agencies that have rules and regulations related to
local water management. The City recognizes the roles of these other agencies and will cooperate,
coordinate, and when possible partner with these agencies.
This Plan is in conformance with but does not restate all other agency rules that are applicable to
water resource management. The following agencies deal with or regulate water resources
throughout the City:
e Minnesota Department of Health www. health. state. mn.us

4. ASSESSMENT OF PROBLEMS AND ISSUES
Outlined below is an assessment of existing and potential local water resource -related problems
that are known as of 2015. These problems have been identified based on an analysis of the land
and water resource data collected during the preparation of this Plan and through information
provided by the City, its residents, and other organizations. A description of any existing or
potential problem within the City has been listed and potential future corrective actions have
been incorporated into an implementation plan. Refer to Figure 7 for the location of many of the
problem areas discussed below. Figure 9 depicts water quality monitoring locations, Figure 10
depicts known pollutant sources, and Figure 11 depicts storm water BMPs.
4.1. Water Quality Problems
Problem 4.1.A The City discharges to the following impaired waters as listed by the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA):
• Otter Lake (Main Basin ID — 43-0085-01) is listed as impaired for mercury in fish
tissue and excessive nutri ents/eutrophi cation.
• Otter Lake (South Arm ID — 43-0085-02 and North Arm/Campbell ID —
43-0085-03) is listed as impaired for mercury in fish tissue.
• South Fork Crow River (Headwaters to Hutchinson Dam: ID -07010205-540) is
listed as impaired for mercury in fish, turbidity, fishes bioassessments, and
aquatic macroinvertab rate bioassessments.
• South Fork Crow River (Hutchinson Dam to Bear Creek: ID -07010205-510) is
listed as impaired for mercury in fish and turbidity.
• South Fork Crow River (Hutchinson Dam to Bear Creek: ID -07010205-510) is
anticipated to be added to the impaired list for E. coli.
Corrective Action 4.1.A The MPCA completed a statewide mercury TMDL in 2007. As
storm water point sources account for less than 1% of the mercury (majority is
atmospheric), the City contributes an insignificant amount to this TMDL.
As of 2015, TMDL studies are currently underway for Otter Lake and the South Fork
Crow River as part of a Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy (WRAPS) study
being conducted for the South Fork Crow Watershed. Once the WRAPS report is
finalized, the City will work with neighboring communities, Crow River Organization of
Water (CROW), and the MPCA to meet its waste load allocation for Otter Lake and the
South Fork Crow River.

Problem 4.1.B Implementation of storm water quality improvements in downtown
Hutchinson.
Corrective Action 4.1.B The City and MnDOT have plans to reconstruct Trunk
Highway 15 (2" d Avenue N to 5th Avenue S) in the next five to ten years. Storm water
quality improvements will be implemented in conjunction with this project. A storm
water study will be completed to help determine feasible improvement options.
The City will also investigate other storm water quality improvements in the downtown
area as opportunities arise.
4.2. Flooding and Storm Water Rate Control Concerns
Problem 4.2.A The South Central Recreation Center (RC) Area and S. Grade Road have
experienced localized flooding dating back to at least 1993 for moderate to heavy storms
(approximately 2 inches or greater depending on intensity).
Corrective Action 4.2.A A detailed Hydrology/Hydraulic Analysis was completed for
the South Central Recreation Center (RC) Area and S. Grade Road by SEH in 2012. The
primary contributors to the flooding were determined to be: 1) an under capacity local
storm sewer within the RC area, and 2) lack of downstream storm sewer capacity in
combination with the lack of natural surface overflow paths and detention within the RC
area. The following is a list of recommendations provided in the study to mitigate
flooding. The actions are listed in order of priority.
1. Install new storm sewer system on west side of the RC area,
2. Install detention basins for the RC area in the existing ball field area,
3. Install a new, separate storm sewer system on the east side of the RC area (the
existing storm sewer system is to remain and be utilized concurrently with the
new, separate system),
Additional details and preliminary costs estimates for each recommendation are provided
in the report. Further analysis is ongoing and due for completion in early 2016.
Problem 4.2.B Clifton Heights flooding and surcharging at low point on Michigan
Street.
Corrective Action 4.2.B The City plans to construct a large regional storm water basin
upon the development of land near Arch Street and Michigan Street NE. This land is
currently designated as agricultural.

updated CIP these storm water proj ects/tasks and any future proj ects/tasks.
4.5. Impacts of Erosion and Sedimentation on Local Water Resources
Problem 4.5.A Presence of a sediment delta at the Alan Street outfall of Otter Lake.
Corrective Action 4.5.A The City may provide maintenance on this area to ensure the
outfall continues to function as intended and remove the deposited material. In addition,
the City will investigate sources of sediment and possible upstream treatment options to
help localize maintenance efforts.
Problem 4.5.B Presence of sediment deltas within Otter Lake and Crow River.
Corrective Action 4.5.B The City plans to take sediment samples and perform
maintenance to remove sediment/debris at outfalls. The City may also investigate
overall depth management within the east arm of Otter Lake to help mitigate deposited
material throughout the basin.
4.6. Impact of Land Use Practices and Development on Local Water Resource Issues
Problem 4.6.A Future land use is anticipated to increase storm water runoff volumes and
pollutant loads to local water bodies.
Corrective Action 4.6.A The City will investigate opportunities to implement water
quality and volume reduction BMPs during future reconstruction projects. In areas
where project specific BMPs will be unfeasible, the City will look into completing
regional water quality improvement projects to help meet future storm water
management requirements.
Problem 4.6.B The majority of the City is served by a sanitary sewer collection system
that conveys sanitary sewage to a treatment plant. However, there are areas which
contain subsurface sewage treatment systems (SSTS) in operation within the City.
Corrective Action 4.6.B The City will continue to work with the County to ensure that
the SSTS remains in compliance and requires that connection to City sewer occur when
available.

Corrective Action 4.7.A The City will continue to provide educational content and
opportunities to residents, businesses, developers, and others. These efforts may include
regular notices in the City's monthly newsletter, articles in the local paper, postings on
the City website, and flyers in the utility bill. The City may work with CROW or
McLeod County to improve the efficiency of educational efforts and reduce duplication.
Educational topics may include but are not limited to:
• Wetland buffers
• Yard/pet waste management
• Illicit discharge to storm water
• Utility easements
• Storm water pond function
• Controlling invasive species
4.8. Identification of Potential Problems Which are Anticipated in the Next 20 Years.
Problem 4.8.A Inspecting and maintaining existing storm water infrastructure
throughout the City.
Corrective Action 4.8.A The City is responsible for maintenance of its storm water
system in conformance with the MCPA's MS4 Program. This includes maintenance of
pipes, constructed ponds, lakes, wetlands, ditches, swales, and other drainageways.
Proper maintenance will ensure that the storm water system continues to provide the
necessary flood control and water quality treatment. Refer to Appendix B for a copy of
the City SWPPP. Other units of government are responsible for maintaining the storm
water systems under their control. For example:
MnDOT is responsible for maintenance of storm sewer along Trunk Highway 7;
City of Hutchinson is responsible for maintaining storm sewer catch basins and
leads in the county roads;
Owners of private storm water facilities are responsible for maintaining their
facilities in proper condition, consistent with the original performance design
standards. Responsibilities include removal and proper disposal of all settled
materials from ponds, sumps, grit chambers, and other devices, including settled

Problem 4.8.B Prioritizing inspection and maintenance of storm water ponds, BMPs,
and outfalls as well as determining the performance of existing storm water ponds and
BMPs throughout the City.
Corrective Action 4.8.B The City will develop a program to identify pond, BMP, and
outfall maintenance activities. This program will need to be updated to result in an updated
prioritization of inspection and maintenance activities. In addition, the program will
estimate the current treatment provided by each pond/BMP to determine if the desired
amount of treatment is being achieved. This program will help meet the new MS4 permit
requirements related to the management of storm water ponds.
Problem 4.8.0 Maintenance of pond sediment and volunteer vegetation on pond
adjacent to Montana Street.
Corrective Action 4.8.0 The City will complete an inspection and determine the
appropriate amount of sediment and vegetation management to be performed to allow the
pond to have appropriate water quality and water quantity volumes.
Maintenance/construction may then be performed.
Problem 4.8.D Accumulation of debris and material on City streets.
Corrective Action 4.8.D The City uses pre -wetting with a brine solution in winter which
results in less material accumulation and uses sand when necessary to improve traction.
The City will continue to sweep debris and salt from City streets in the spring, summer,
and fall. The entire City takes approximately two to three weeks to sweep. More
information regarding street sweeping activities can be found in the SWPPP which is
located in Appendix B.
Problem 4.8.E Erosion and drainage issues adjacent to Bridgewater Pond.
Corrective Action 4.8.E The City will complete an inspection and determine the
necessary erosion repairs around the perimeter of Bridgewater Pond. Sediment
accumulation and vegetation will be removed east of Eighth Avenue SW where positive
drainage is being obstructed. Installation of stormwater infrastructure will be required
when Eighth Avenue SW is extended to the east to improve drainage functionality.
4.9. Availability and Adequacy of Existing Technical Information to Manage Local Water
Resources.
Problem 4.9.A Atlas 14 (updated precipitation probability information) was released by
NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) in 2013.
Corrective Action 4.9.A Previously developed areas within the City (designed to meet
TP -40 hydrologic demands) will continue to operate under this design criteria. New
development, redevelopment, and areas where problems may exist will be evaluated (as

SECTION 5
5. GOALS AND POLICIES
5.1. General
The goals in Hutchinson's Local Surface Water Management Plan appear to be
consistent with the goals of the McLeod County Water Management Plan and the Crow
River Organization of Water (CROW), while addressing the more specific and changing
needs of the City. The goals of this plan are also consistent with the guidelines contained
in Minnesota Statutes 103B and Minnesota Rules 8410.
The City recognizes that McLeod County and the CROW will continue to seek an active
role regarding water resources in the City. McLeod County's most recent Water
Management Plan can be found
at http://www.co.mcleod.mn.us/department_ files/EnvironmentalSery/McLeod%20Count
y%20Water%2OPlan%202013-2023%20[6-18-13l.pdf. Additional goals and policies of
the City are contained throughout this section.
A general priority of the City is to cooperate, collaborate, and partner with other entities
such as McLeod County, CROW, and the MPCA as much as possible as the City
implements this plan. Cooperation, collaboration, and partnering results in projects that
are less likely to conflict with the goals of the affected entities, better able to meet
long-term goals, and generally are more cost-effective.
In addition to the goals and policies contained in this section, the City will annually
review and update its Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to effectively
manage its storm water system and be in conformance with the NPDES MS4 Program.
The MS4 General Permit and Construction Permit also apply. Refer to Appendix B for
the most recent version of the City SWPPP.
The rules and policies identified may be amended from time to time. Any updates to
rules and policies will become effective upon approval and shall be used in place of those
identified herein.
5.2. Water Resource Ordinances
The City has a Storm Water Management Ordinance (Chapter
54, http://www.amlegal.com/codes/client/hutchinson_mn/). Refer to this ordinance for
requirements relating to application, review, and approval standards and the associated
storm water management plan components and requirements. It also outlines
suspensions, revocations, stop work orders, and associated enforcement/penalty.
Consistent with the Storm Water Management Ordinance (Chapter
54, http://www.amlegal.com/codes/client/hutchinson_mn/), the policies in this section
are triggered for all projects disturbing more than one acre. Likewise, the City Engineer
may waive this requirement if it is determined the requirements cause a hardship or are

Page 5-1
SECTION 5
contrary to the City's goals and objectives.
In addition, the City has adopted a Shoreland Ordinance (Chapter
152, http://www.amlegal.com/codes/client/hutchinson_mn/) and a Floodplain Ordinance
(Chapter 154, http://www.amlegal.com/codes/client/hutchin son_mnto regulate uses
within shoreland and floodplain areas.
5.3. Water Quality
5.3.1. Goal
Work with McLeod County and the CROW to maintain and/or enhance the water
quality of the City of Hutchinson's lakes, wetlands, streams, and other water
resources in the City.
Utilize regional storm water facilities where possible to enhance water quality by
removing sediment and nutrients from runoff.
5.3.2. Policies
The City's preferred means of protecting water quality is to infiltrate and
provide volume control for storm water runoff The City requires storm
water volume control (infiltration, reuse, or other) equivalent to one inch from
new impervious surfaces (increase from existing conditions) or 50%
phosphorus removal if infiltration is determined to be unfeasible or
undesirable (refer to Policy 2 of NPDES Construction permit regarding
infiltration constraints). In addition, Wellhead protection areas should also be
reviewed when considering infiltration (see Section 5.7.2.1).
2. Infiltration will not be required nor allowed in areas where there are known
groundwater contaminants, soils are not suitable for infiltration (unsuitable
soils are those with infiltration rates less than 0.3 inches/hour), or in areas
where there is less than three feet of separation between the bottom of the
infiltration system and the groundwater or bedrock. Percolation tests shall be
required to verify the infiltration rates of on-site soils following the
construction of infiltration BMPs.
3. Pretreatment of storm water is required prior to discharge to an infiltration
system. This pretreatment shall collect sediment and be easily accessed for
inspection and maintenance.
4. A pond buffer extending twenty feet outward and two feet up from the high
water level must be provided around the entire pond. The developer must
provide signs denoting pond buffer limits as deemed necessary and as
approved by the City. Pond buffers should be maintained as a meadow,

volume is sediment. (Hutchinson, AM Code of Ordinances 54.24)
7. Newly constructed storm water outfalls to public waters must provide for
filtering or settling of suspended solids and skimming of surface debris before
discharge (Hutchinson, MN Code of Ordinances § 54.24 (B)).
New storm water management BMPs (e.g. ponds, infiltration systems, swales)
constructed as part of private development shall be covered by drainage and
utility easements or outlots that are dedicated to the City. Maintenance
responsibilities for these areas will be spelled out in the developer's
agreement.
5.4. Runoff Management and Flood Control
5.4.1. Goal
Protect, preserve, and expand (where possible) the storm water storage and
detention systems to control excessive runoff volumes and rates, prevent flooding,
protect public health and safety, and minimize public capital expenditures.
5.4.2. Policies
1. The City's preferred flood control strategy is to reduce the volume of
runoff through regional storm water facilities and reuse or infiltration
proj ects.
2. Consideration shall be given to reduce the need for storm water
management system facilities by incorporating the use of natural
topography and land cover such as wetlands, ponds, natural swales, and
depressions as they exist before development to the degree that they can
accommodate the additional water flow without compromising the
integrity or quality of these natural features. (Hutchinson, AM Code of
Ordinances § 54.23 (B))

2. Maintain, enhance, or provide new habitat as part of wetland modification,
storm water facility construction, or other appropriate projects.
3. Encourage alternative landscape designs that a) increase beneficial habitat,
wildlife and recreational uses; promote infiltration and vegetative water use;
and that b) decrease detrimental wildlife uses (such as beaver dams, goose
overabundance), which damage water control facilities, shoreline vegetation,
water quality, or recreational facilities.
4. Shore and bluff impact zone deficiencies must be evaluated and reasonable
improvements made as part of the conversion. These improvements must
include, where applicable, the following:
i. Removal of extraneous buildings, docks or other facilities that no longer
need to be located in shore or bluff impact zones;
ii. Remedial measures to correct erosion sites and improve vegetative cover,
and screening of buildings and other facilities as viewed from the water.
(Hutchinson, AM Code of Ordinances § 152.091(C))
Placement of natural rock riprap, including associated grading of the shoreline
and placement of a filter blanket, is permitted if the finished slope does not
exceed three feet horizontal to one foot vertical, the landward extent of the

Use the City's Storm Water Utility Fund to pay for as many storm water
management projects and implementation activities as possible.
2. Use other funding sources to pay for the implementation activities,
studies/analysis, grants, land sale proceeds, State Aid funds, etc., when
available and appropriate.
3. The City will use either its general tax fund or the Storm Water Utility Fund
to pay for the public education and information programs.

SECTION 6
6. IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM
6.1. Implementation Program Components
Table 6.1 contains a comprehensive list of the MS4 activities and projects, programs, and
studies that make up the City's implementation program for the next ten years (2015
through 2024). The City developed this program by evaluating the requirements in the
MS4 permit (see MS4 SWPPP Application for Reauthorization in Appendix B), reviewing
existing information (Section 2), identifying potential and existing problems (Section 4),
developing goals and policies (Section 5), and then assessing the need for programs,
studies, or projects. The City estimated total costs, identified possible funding sources, and
developed an approximate schedule to complete the implementation activities. It is
anticipated these tables will be updated/revised on a yearly basis.
6.2. Implementation Priorities
The implementation components listed in Table 6.1 were prioritized to make the best use
of available local funding, meet MS4 Permit requirements, address existing water
management problems, and prevent future water management problems from occurring.
Table 6.1 identifies which activities are MS4 Permit Requirements, MS4 Permit
Requirements — within twelve months, Annual Requirements, or Capital
Projects/Programs/Studies. The City's implementation plan reflects its responsibility to
protect the public health, safety, and general welfare of its citizens by addressing problems
and issues that are specific to the City.
6.3. Financial Considerations
The City will use funds generated from its storm water utility fee as the primary funding
mechanism for its implementation program including; maintenance, repairs, capital
projects, studies, etc. If funds from this utility fee do not cover necessary costs, the City
will consider adjusting the storm water utility fee as well as using general funds to cover
the costs associated with the implementation program. The City will continue to review
the storm water utility fee annually and adjust based on the storm water related needs of
the City and other available funding mechanisms.
Although not proposed at this time, the City may consider using plan implementation
taxes (MN Statutes 10313.241) or 429 Special Improvement Assessments in the future if
general funds or storm water utility funds are not sufficient to fund the projects. The City
will also take advantage of grant or loan programs to offset project costs where
appropriate and cost-effective.

SECTION 6
6.4. Plan Revision and Amendments
The City may need to revise this Plan to keep it current. The City may amend this Plan at
any time in response to a petition by a resident or business. Written petitions for Plan
amendments must be submitted to the City Administrator. The petition must state the
reason for the requested amendment and provide supporting information for the City to
consider the request. The City may reject the petition, delay action on the petition until the
next full Plan revision, or accept the petition as an urgent issue that requires immediate
amendment of the Plan. The City may also revise/amend the Plan in response to
City -identified needs. This Plan is intended to be in effect for ten years. The Plan will be
revised or updated at that time, to the extent necessary.

Dedication
The 2015 Annual Report is dedicated to Erin C. Peller. Erin is the daughter of
active Firefighter Greg Peller and has been an unbelievable asset to the
Hutchinson Fire Department over the five summers she has volunteered her
time.
She has logged more than 610 hours working on various activities such as:
inspections, fire prevention, investigations, data entry, and budgeting.
She streamlined our new firefighter hiring process, created a new mapping
system/book that is now present in each of our apparatus and created a "Knox
Box" ID card that we are now utilizing at every commercial building in the
city ... the list goes on!
We thank her for the tremendous job she has done for us, she is truly amazing!

Citizens of the Hutchinson Fire District
Honorable Mayors
Town Board Supervisors
City Council Members
Another year has passed us by and I have now completed my first full calendar year as Chief of
this great organization and I could not be more proud of where we are today. Thank you to all
the firefighters and officers for making this possible and for your continued support of this
organization. When we surround ourselves with great people, prosperity is the only outcome!
Our focus on professionalism, training and preparedness, responsiveness and community
involvement has continued to improve throughout 2015 because of the tremendous dedication
of every firefighter and officer on the department. Over the course of the year our firefighters
and officers are exposed to life, death and everything in-between and because of their resilience
they continue to improve, impress and perform at the highest levels possible.
In 2015 we bolstered our roster with the hiring of three additional rookie firefighters, which
brings our total staffing level to thirty-two. This puts us in a good position in preparation for the
pending retirement of Assistant Chief Stotts in 2016. We attempt to maintain a staffing level of
30 highly trained and dedicated firefighters enabling us to respond appropriately and efficiently
for emergency calls, as well as day to day activities.
We have made many physical improvements at our training site; most notably the addition of a
fire hydrant at the site and a fire sprinkler riser in the training tower. We are also continually
improving upon our training levels and standards and encouraging all of our personnel to seek
out additional training and professional development. We have also been working feverishly in
preparation for a new rescue pumper that will be coming in 2016. This new truck will replace two
existing trucks which in turn will shrink our fleet by one apparatus.
We are so grateful for the partnership we share with both the rural townships and the city, our
existence is only possible because of the support we receive. Relationships like this thrive
because of the open communication and great support that is given to us. We encourage
questions about our personnel, equipment, and operations, because transparency is vital.
Thank you for your continued support,
Sincerely,
imide SC41aIFstCt ' &q

Goals and Objectives
Response Goals:
• Emergency Calls: We will respond in a fast, professional, and efficient
manner while understanding that firefighter safety is a top priority.
• Officer Only Program: A "fire officer only" typically responds to routine
calls such as a carbon monoxide alarm, natural/propane gas smells, or a
fluid clean-up an estimated 125 times annually saving the district an
estimated $25,000+ in salaries, fuel, etc.;
• Firefighter "Competency": We will annually evaluate each firefighter
on the essentials of firefighting, medical response, and rescue scenarios in
an effort to foster the growth of each firefighter's ability to reach their
maximum level of professionalism;
• Staffing: We will test, interview, background check all potential
firefighter candidates prior to hiring. We will maintain proper staffing
levels for our fire district which is currently set at thirty. We will promote
professional growth for all members of our staff.
Training Goals:
• We will Educate, State Certify, and State License all of our professional
paid -on-call firefighters to the minimum of Firefighter I / Firefighter II,
Medical First Responder, and Hazardous Material Operational. We will
hold firefighters accountable for competency in their job and training and
response;
• With the understanding that it cost almost $5,000 to hire and
certify/license one new firefighter and over $1,500 per year to keep one
certified/licensed firefighter, we will focus on retention and the utilization
of the skills our current staff has to keep cost in check;
• We will train, test, and then improve the Hutchinson FD "emergency
response procedures" as the department evolves with new people,
equipment, techniques, requirements and standards;
• We will complete all of the OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health
Association) requirements for firefighter safety.
• We will recommit to improving our regional training site focusing on the
training tower, and various other needed improvements.
Goals and Objectives (continued)
Equipment/Building Goals:
• We will provide our firefighters with quality PPE (personal protective
equipment) when needed ensuring that we are providing the safest
working conditions possible;
• We will continue to work with the Rural District, City, and the "Fleet
Committee" on the fleet reduction project of combining a current city
engine and shared rescue truck into one shared Rescue/Engine;
• We will participate in the "city employee safety committee" which has
produced substantial savings to the city in the form of workers comp
insurance fees;
• We will complete all of the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association)
testing requirements for the aerial platform truck, fire engine pumps, fire
hose, SCBA's (self-contained breathing apparatus), and the breathing air
compressor used for filling the SCBA's;
Inspections/Prevention/Public Relations Goals:
• We will restore the inspection of commercial /industrial/care facilities in
our district for minimum fire/life safety issues and to pre -plan, should a
fire or explosion occur;
• We will conduct a progressive fire prevention/public safety education
programs which trains well over 1,000 students annually;
• We will continue to write "burn permits" for our rural fire district;
• We will continue to work with the McLeod County Court system on the
"community service" program, allowing us to have projects completed
annually in and around the station at NO cost;
• We will continue to participate in Public Outreach/Public Relation events
items such as:
1. FD Open House activities;
2. "National Night Out" activities;
3. "We Care About Our Kids" at the Hutch Mall;
4. Veterans and Memorial Day Events;
5. Jaycee Water Carnival Events;
6. McLeod County Fair Events.
Innovative Thinking Goals:
• We will focus on developing more technical skilled firefighters through
outsourced specialized training.
• We will continue to measure all of the services that we provide in an effort
to determine if the method used is efficient and cost effective in its current
state and we will make changes whenever possible;
• We will continue to maintain the services that we currently provide. It will
therefore be our goal to improve, expedite, and streamline them always.

2015 Assistant Chief Update
As I crossed the line into my 25 I year on the Hutchinson Fire Department, I reflect on the many
changes that I have seen — some good, some not so good.
In 1987, when I started in the fire service in the small town of Appleton, Minnesota, I walked into
the fire station and I was told that I was now a firefighter. Today, when new recruits start their
firefighting careers, they have about 200 hours of initial Firefighter and Hazardous Materials
training — then we send them to 40 hours of Medical First Responder training. This is done two
nights per week, usually out of town (with a minimum of an hour each way of travel). All of this
is besides the weekly department training we require and after working all day at their "real job"!
When I started:
- We used to ride on the trail boards of the fire engine — today for safety reasons, this is no
longer allowed.
- Fire Engines were $15,000 — now they are $500,000 - $700,000.
- We trained one night per month — now we train every Monday night.
- We responded to 50-70 calls per year — now we are responding to 450+.
- We had beer at the station after drills and calls — that was removed in the 90's.
- Firefighters could fix just about anything that broke with duct tape and bailing wire, now
we have to hire "Emergency Apparatus Technicians" to fix our trucks.
A lot has changed; I think that the two biggest are the qualifications of your firefighters and the
time that they devote to be firefighters. Firefighters are a humble bunch, so when you hear about
the documented hours on training and fire response — that is just a small fraction of the "real"
time donated.
My job as a Chief Officer, is to make sure that your equipment and your firefighters are always
ready to respond to any type of emergency call that comes in from the businesses, the 20,000 +
people that live in our fire district, and the people traveling through. I am very proud to say, that
there is no task given or obstacle that is thrown their way that your firefighters can't handle. I am
very proud to say that they are the best of the best!
Thank you for your continued support!
Sincerely,
Casey D. Stotts
Assistant Fire Chief

2015 Fire Training Update
Our Firefighters:
Our firefighters are trained to a minimum of:
1. Minnesota Fire Service Certification Board (MFSCB) Firefighter 1-11.
2. Minnesota Emergency Medical Services Regulatory Board (EMSRB) First Responder.
3. National Fire Protection Agency Hazardous Materials Awareness.
Weekly internal training sessions for 2015:
Emergency Response System, Air Management, Pump Training, Search & Rescue, Live
Burns, Firefighter Safety, Evacuation, Communication, Hose Advancement, Equipment
Safety & Procedures, Rescue Scenarios: Water, Ice, Off-road, Scenario Based MVA
Response, Auto Extrication, Bleeding, Shock, Medical Assessment, Trauma
Assessment, KED, Long Board, Splinting, Oxygen Management, Airways, Hazmat
External training sessions for 2015:
• Members completed various regional, state and national training opportunities.
What we accomplished in 2015:
• Advertise, test, and hired new firefighters;
• With assistance from the city we had a fire hydrant installed at the training site.
• Installed Stand pipe and sprinkler system on 3 d floor in training tower.
• Installed Forcible entry door on 1St floor.
• Small group of firefighter training on Low angel rope rescue.
• Recertified 16 fire fighters to First Responder
• Recertified 6 fire fighters to EMT
2016 Projections: The Highlights
1. Continue to teach, train, and perfect the response procedures put into place in 2009;
2. Offer to and teach the HFD response program to our mutual aid fire departments in an
effort to enhance the ability to work together on the fire ground under unified command.
3. Continue using a "Teamwork" mentality of group training. This means that groups of
firefighters will train under and with their assigned Lieutenant. This should build a very
positive relationship between the Lieutenants' and their firefighters.
4. Continue remodel of training site. New burn containers, new storage container, Upgrade
windows covers from wood to steel in the tower.
Each year we try to improve on the overall competency of the FD.
To accomplish this, our firefighters spend many 2, 3 and sometimes 4 hours training at each
weekly drill putting in the extra effort to improve on their skills and knowledge!
We could not be happier with the results! We have never had a time on this department when
we've had so many skilled, professional, firefighters that are not only capable of performing the
tasks of a firefighter, but performing them at a high degree of proficiency! Again, proving that
Hutchinson has one of the best trained fire departments in the state!

Training Site
This past year the training site has been a very busy place. With the aid of a
grant from Excel Energy, the City of Hutchinson built a solar panel array on the eastern
side of the training site. While the city was having the array built, the fire dept. asked
about installing the fire hydrant. With John Paulson's assistance with permits and
MPCA soil sampling, we finally got the ok to install the much needed fire hydrant. The
low bid for this project went to one of our fire fighters who was able to donate some of
the materials and labor to help save the fire department money out of our budget.
The benefit of having this new hydrant closer to the training site is less time
packing hose after a training evolution. Before we would have to flake out 600 feet of 5
inch hose, now it is just less than 100 feet of hose. Also we don't have to block access
to the Armory or Park's Garage when we do have training that requires use of hydrants.
We also decided to make the training tower more usable for training by installing
a sprinkler stand pipe in the training tower. This sprinkler stand pipe is very similar to
what you would find in most high rise/commercial/industrial buildings. This lets us train
our fire fighters on how to properly shut down a system, drain, and restore the system.
The stand pipe portion of the riser lets us train our fire fighters how to properly connect,
flake out hose, and attack a fire from a stair well that is very similar to what we have in
the high rises within the city. The last portion of this stand pipe is the sprinkler heads.
We can now train fire fighters how to plug a sprinkler head when we cannot shut down
the system.
And last but not least one of our fire officers came up with a plan to install a
forcible entry prop in the tower. This prop will give the fire fighters opportunity to
practice on how to force a way in thru a door. This is a reusable prop so we should get
many years of use out of it.
For 2016 we have more to do at the training site. We have leveling and grading
to do so the water from live burns don't pool in the areas we are training in. Move the
burn containers to new location closer to new hydrant. Upgrade the window covers for
tower from wood to steel. This will help keep the birds out so they are not making a
mess that we clean out couple times a year. And work with the Police dept. to come up
with long range plans for improvements on their training house and for the overall site.
Thank you for your support. We will continue to train and be ready for the call.
And when the call comes in we will provide the best trained personal that we can.
Thanks again,
Battalion Chief Abelson

2015 Fire Equipment and Maintenance Report
Michael Craig, Battalion Chief — Equipment
Here is a brief overview of 2015 equipment and maintenance for the Hutchinson Fire
Department.
Equipment Added or Changed:
• We started replacing and adding equipment to our high level rescue kit. The end
goal is to have individual kits for single rescuers that are easily transported and
only carry the equipment that is needed for the task.
• Our radio and pager batteries are starting to reach the age of needing
replacement. A number of batteries were purchased this year and this trend will
continue next year as well. We also added earpieces for command usage.
• We added safety officer kits to all of our command vehicles. These kits contain
everything a firefighter needs when assigned to be the safety officer on a fire or
rescue scene.
Equipment Maintenance:
• Rescue 8 received a siren and emergency lighting upgrade.
• Engine 7 received a doghouse/console organizer and had a number of valves
and valve linkages repaired.
• Tanker 4 had rear wheel bearings replaced.
• Tanker 6 had a number of valves repaired.
• Completed all NFPA required pump and ladder tests (L-1, E-3, E-7).
• Completed NFPA required air certification test on our SCBA Compressor.
• Completed NFPA required annual hose testing.
Projects:
• We continued to finalize our planning of combining Rescue 5 and Engine 3 into a
new multipurpose Rescue/Pumper. We are excited to take delivery of the new
truck in 2016!
Thank you again for your continued support of our organization.

BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION OF AGENDA ITEM:
The Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities (CGMC) and Minnesota Environmental Science and Economic Review
Board (MESERB) at their respective Fall membership meetings authorized filing a petition for rulemaking with the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) seeking to have the MPCA amend its newly adopted riverine standards
based upon the post-rulemaking identification of new evidence, which demonstrates such rules have relied upon two
factors (dissolved oxygen (DO) flux and the five-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) test) for purposes of
identifying nutrient impairment not accepted by the scientific community or the U.S. EPA for use for such purposes. As
a result, the current MPCA riverine standards rule is significantly flawed, and CGMC and MESERB desire at this time
to present such information to the MPCA in the form of a petition for rule amendments so that the MPCA can take the
appropriate steps necessary to correct the rule.
The City of Hutchinson has been requested by CGMC and MESERB to petition the MPCA to amend it Riverine
Eutrophication Standards due to the standards not being based on sound science. Additional information is attached
for your reference, and includes additional background and a technical explanation of the need and reasonableness of
the petition.
City staff will be available to answer any questions that you may have.

WHEREAS, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (herein "MPCA" or the "Agency")
adopted certain new and revised water quality standards and criteria for rivers and
streams under Minn. R. 7050.0150, .0220, and .0222 (herein the "riverine
standards") on June 24, 2014; and
WHEREAS, the riverine standards rely in part on scientifically unsupported applications of (1)
a test used to determine biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) in water bodies over
a five day period (BODS), and (2) a measurement of dissolved oxygen variation
(DO flux) in water bodies, to determine whether a measured body is impaired
because of nutrient growth, and thus whether a violation of the riverine standards
has occurred; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL THAT:
Pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 14.091, the City Council hereby approves the filing of a petition
on its behalf, in form and substance consistent with the attached Appendix A (the
"Petition"), requesting amendments to Minn. R. 7050.0150, .0220, and .0222 on the basis
of significant new evidence relating to the reasonableness of these rules discovered after
the MPCA adopted amendments thereto to impose water quality standards and criteria for
rivers and streams on June 24, 2014.
2. The significant new evidence upon which the Petition is based includes the following:
a. A Freedom of Information Act request from Hall & Associates to EPA for public
records regarding the use of the BODS test as a valid nutrient impairment
indicator dated November 6, 2014 and EPA's response thereto dated December 5,
2014, in which EPA conceded that it possesses no documentation supporting the
use of the BODS test as a proper nutrient response criterion. (Exhibit 7 to the
Petition.)
b. A memorandum published on November 19, 2014 by Andrew Eaton, of the Joint
Editorial Board of the Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and
Wastewater, the expert that EPA relies upon for proper test development and
usage (see 40 C.F.R. § 136.3) and the entity that developed the BODS test,
clarifying that BODS should not be used as a parameter to evaluate the presence
of a nutrient impairment. (Exhibit 8 to the Petition.)
c. A Freedom of Information Act request from Hall & Associates to EPA for public
records indicating that DO flux, by itself, causes aquatic life impairment, dated
July 31, 2014, EPA's response thereto dated September 12, 2014, and follow up
correspondence, in which EPA affirmed that it possesses no documentation
supporting the use of DO flux as an aquatic life impairment parameter. (Exhibit 9
to the Petition.)
d. Excerpts from the Minnesota Environmental Science and Economic Review
Board's Motion to Supplement the Administrative Record, December 5, 2014, in
Minnesota Court of Appeals Case No. A14-1694 (870 N.W.2d 97), and MPCA's
Response to Petition to Supplement the Record, December 11, 2014, in which
MPCA admitted that it possesses no information indicating that it ever requested
any of the expert peer reviewers tasked with reviewing its riverine standards to
specifically address the BODS and DO flux issues. (Exhibit 10 to the Petition.)
3. The City retains and authorizes the law firm of Flaherty & Hood, P.A. to submit the
Petition on the City's behalf and thereafter to represent the City in all subsequent
proceedings administered by the MPCA and/or OAH concerning the Petition.

Repeal Minnesota Rules, part(s)
1. Introduction
The elected governing body of a city, county or sanitary district has a statutory right to
petition for amendment or repeal of a rule or a specified portion of a rule by submitting a written
petition to the agency and to the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) when "significant
new evidence relating to the need for or reasonableness of the rule" has become available since
the adoption of the rule in question. Minn. Stat. § 14.091, subd. (a).
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (herein "MPCA" or the "Agency") adopted
certain new and revised water quality standards and criteria for rivers and streams under Minn.
R. 7050.0150, .0220, and .0222 (herein the "riverine standards") on June 24, 2014.1 The riverine
standards rely in part on scientifically unsupported applications of (1) a test used to determine
biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) in water bodies over a five day period (BODS), and (2) a
measurement of dissolved oxygen variation (DO flux) in water bodies, to determine whether a
measured body is impaired because of nutrient growth, and thus whether a violation of the
riverine standards has occurred.
Significant new evidence has come to light since the MPCA formally adopted the
riverine standards on June 24, 2014 which demonstrates that neither BODS nor DO flux are
reliable indicators of nutrient impairment. First, a memorandum published on November 19,
2014 by the Standard Methods board of editors, the very experts responsible for the development
and use of the BODS test incorporated by MPCA into the riverine standards, expressly
confirmed that it is improper to use BODS as an impairment response criterion for nutrients (as
MPCA has done in the riverine standards).
Second, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) confirmed in its
responses to several Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests between September 12, 2014
and December 5, 2014, that, among other things, it did not have any records concerning the use
of BODS as a nutrient response criterion or which supported using DO flux as a response
variable for identification of nutrient impairment (in contradiction of MPCA's statements during
rulemaking that EPA scientists reviewed and supported MPCA's use of BODS and DO flux as
nutrient impairment indicators). Relatedly, MPCA has now admitted in court filings that it
possesses no information indicating that it ever requested any of the peer reviewers tasked with
reviewing its riverine standards to specifically address the BODS and DO flux issues (again in
contradiction of MPCA's statements during rulemaking).
This significant new evidence undermines the scientific rationale for and
reasonableness of the riverine standards' use of BODS and DO flux as indicators of nutrient
impairments, and Petitioners accordingly now petition under Minn. Stat. § 14.091 for the
amendment of the riverine standards to remove the BODS and DO flux response variables, as
shown supra in Section 4.
2. Background: Regulatory Framework
The Clean Water Act Section 303(c) requires states to adopt water quality standards to
protect aquatic life and public health and, as explained in EPA's implementing rules, such
criteria are set at the level "necessary to protect the adopted uses." 33 U.S.C. §1313(c); 40
I The rule amendments also affected Minn. R. 7050.0205, .0467 (which was repealed), and
.0468, but such sections are not at issue in this petition.
2
C.F.R. 131.2.2 In Minnesota, the MPCA is entrusted with the authority "to establish and alter
such reasonable pollution standards for any waters of the state in relation to the public use to
which they are or may be put as it shall deem necessary for the purposes of this chapter ...."
Minn. Stat. § 115.03, subd. 1(c) (emphasis added). Federal law also requires that the adopted
numeric criteria be based on "sound scientific information". 40 CFR 131.5(a)(2).
Water quality standards (WQS), including the riverine standards, are a performance-
based regulatory system in which the WQS identify, using the best -available science, the
conditions that must exist in Minnesota's water bodies to fully support each waters' designated
uses. Attaining the designated use is the objective of the WQS. Under Minn. Stat. § 14.14,
subd. 2, and Minn. R. 1400.2100, "the agency must establish the need for and reasonableness of
a proposed rule by an affirmative presentation of facts."
All WQS must be based on causation; i.e., exceedance of a given threshold of a given
pollutant is deemed to impair one or more designated uses for a given body of water.3 This
assessment requires two basic demonstrations: (1) identification of an impairment threshold; and
(2) a demonstration of how the pollutant is causing the adverse effect on aquatic life and/or
recreational uses (often with laboratory studies). See Minn. R. 7050.0150, subp. 1; and Minn. R.
1400.2070, subp. 1.
3. Detailed Explanation of Need for Rule Amendment
The stated purpose of the riverine standards is to prevent excessive plant growth in rivers
and streams due to elevated nutrient levels. Minn. R. 7050.0222, subps. 2b(D), 3b(D), 4b(D).
Where such plant growth is natural, not controlled by nutrient levels or not excessive, nutrient
2 The CWA calls "standards" the combination of designated beneficial uses, and the criteria
necessary to achieve those uses. Minnesota law tends to refer to the latter as simply "standards,"
and so for purposes of this petition the term "standards" shall encompass what are called
"criteria" in the federal Clean Water Act. See discussion at R. 00113-15 (SONAR Book I); see
also 40 C.F.R. 131.3(i), 40 C.F.R. 131.11(a).
' See Minn. R. 7050.0150, subp. 1: "The intent of the state is to protect and maintain surface
waters in a condition which allows for the maintenance of all existing beneficial uses. The
condition of a surface water body is determined by its physical, chemical, and biological
qualities. The agency shall determine an exceedance of water quality standards or an impaired
condition based on pollution of the waters of the state from point and nonpoint sources that
has resulted in degradation of the physical, chemical, or biological qualities of the water
body to the extent that attainable or previously existing beneficial uses are actually or
potentially lost." (emphasis supplied)
levels do not require regulation. See Minn. R. 7050.0150, subps. 5 and 5a; see also Minn. R.
7050.0170.
A river or stream segment is considered impaired for nutrients under the riverine
standards if (1) the total phosphorous (TP) value is exceeded, and (2) any one or more of four
identified "response variables" (i.e. sestonic chlorophyll a, DO flux, BODS), which the riverine
standards use to gauge when the aquatic environment is directly responding to phosphorus
inputs, is also exceeded. See Minn. R. 7050.0150, subp. 5b.
The riverine standards prescribe numeric values for each of these response variables,
according to any one of three "river nutrient regions" (herein "RNRs"), with separate values
prescribed for some mainstem navigable pools. Minn. R. 7050.0222, subps. 2, 2b, 3, 3b, 4, and
4b. The regulatory effect of declaring a waterbody nutrient impaired is significant. First, a Total
Maximum Daily Load ("TMDL") must usually be prepared for all waterbodies that are nutrient
impaired as a means to determine and allocate the total amount of nutrients a waterbody can
retain without violating the water quality standard. See 33 U.S.C. § 1313(d); 40 C.F.R. §
130.2(h) -(i); 40 C.F.R. § 130.7(c). Second, dischargers to impaired waterbodies - whether a
TMDL has been issued or not - customarily receive more stringent water quality -based effluent
limitations under 40 C.F.R. § 122.44(d). As a means to comply with nutrient TMDLs and/or the
more stringent permit limitations, permittees on waterbodies designated as nutrient impaired will
have to expend resources to reduce nutrient discharges, creating additional solid waste for
disposal, consuming electricity and chemical usage. Such technology comes at cost to the
municipal permittees, which can only be funded through municipal bonds and tax hikes to the
constituents.
The MPCA's use of BODS and DO flux as nutrient impairment criteria in the riverine
standards was scientifically problematic, and the source of challenges by the regulated
community, in particular by the Minnesota Science and Economic Review Board (MESERB),
during the MPCA's public rulemaking process and in a declaratory judgment action following
the MPCA's formal adoption of the riverine standards. See MESERB et al. v. Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency, 870 N.W.2d 97 (Minn. Ct. App. 2015). The Court of Appeals
declared the riverine standards to be valid, but, at MPCA's request, expressly did not consider
the new evidence upon which this petition is based. See Ex. 1, Court of Appeals' Order denying
motion to supplement administrative record.
BODS Test Issues
The BODS test is designed to measure oxygen demand from organic substances. Minn.
R. 7050.0150, subp. 4. Nutrients are added to a water sample and the test is run for five days "in
the dark" which, in the presence of live algae, causes an oxygen demand that does not exist in the
.19
real world. As noted by Dr. Steven Chapra, one of the foremost authorities on nutrient
impairment evaluation, the BODS test measures the effects of numerous non -nutrient parameters
(organic substances, nitrogenous material) and is artificially inflated by effects from live algae
placed in the dark for five days. Therefore, utilizing this test with ambient samples containing
live algae would very likely produce a BOD reading that does not actually exist and is simply an
artifact of the test method. See Ex. 2, Chapra Analysis of BODS ("It is my assessment that the
creation of a BODS criteria as a nutrient impairment indicator is fundamentally flawed and not
consistent with accepted scientific practices for assessing nutrient impacts in streams or any
other natural waters.")
Consequently, no federal nutrient criteria development guidance document has ever
recommended regulating BOD as a nutrient impairment indicator. The inclusion of the BODS
test as a nutrient impairment response variable in the riverine standards will inevitably lead to the
classifications of rivers and streams as impaired even when there is, in fact, no impairment
related to nutrients.
b. DO flux issues
Regarding the DO flux variable, MESERB noted that DO flux, by itself, is not an
appropriate response variable for prevention or identification of nutrient impairment either. See
Ex. 3, MESERB comments on DO flux. Use of DO flux as a nutrient response variable to
identify aquatic life impairment, as opposed to minimum DO, has not been accepted by the
scientific community and has not been endorsed in any EPA guidance documents dealing with
the development of nutrient criteria. As with the BOD test, this response criteria is affected by
other, non -nutrient, natural factors (e.g., temperature, natural plant growth, stream depth,
existence of wetlands, and velocity) and one cannot assess the ecological significance of the
measured DO flux without conducting further detailed assessments. MPCA's use of this metric
as an indicator of nutrient -induced use impairment was also unprecedented. Expert testimony
from Thomas Gallagher, unrefuted by MPCA, confirmed that the DO flux level selected by
MPCA is exceeded naturally in many waters. MPCA acknowledged that it had not evaluated the
range of naturally occurring DO flux found in waters with healthy fisheries. See Ex. 4, Thomas
Gallagher analysis and MPCA acknowledgement it did not evaluate the range of naturally
occurring DO flux found in waters with healthy fisheries.
MPCA's rulemaking defense of BODS and DO flux criteria
During rulemaking on the riverine standards, the MPCA refused to alter its approach and
modify the rule to account for the shortcomings in using BODS and DO flux as nutrient response
variables, and addressed the regulated community's objections to using these criteria not with
specific scientific evidence supporting its position, but with general claims that these objections
had been fully addressed by peer reviewers and the EPA, as exemplified by the following
testimony:
... EPA had multiple reviewers of all of the materials submitted
in the Statement of Need and Reasonableness, the technical
support documents and the rule revisions. Each of those
reviewers, I assume, reviewed the scientific analysis and, in
whole, the conclusion was that EPA supported the scientific
analysis. See Ex. 5, MPCA statements referencing EPA review
and approval of nutrient response variables. (emphasis supplied)
I want to stress that we did not reach this point alone... We've
been working very closely with EPA Region 5 scientists,
nutrient experts, since the mid'90s, early on, in the development
of the technical support documents. We shared a draft with
EPA Region 5 and EPA region -- or the headquarters of EPA,
who then contracted with three independent scientific peer
reviewers. Their comments and the discussion that ensued led to
additional analysis, improvements, modifications, and, really, a
stronger scientific package. Id (emphasis supplied).
Following a public hearing on the rule amendments before an Administrative Law Judge
(ALJ) on January 8, 2014, the ALJ issued his report on May 2, 2014, in which he recommended
that the rule amendments be adopted. See Report of the Administrative Law Judge, In re the
Proposed Rules of the Pollution Control Agency for Rule Amendments Governing Water Quality
Standards - River Eutrophication, Total Suspended Solids and Minor Corrections and
Clarifications to Minnesota Rules 7050 and 7053.4 The ALJ cited EPA's "preliminary
evaluation" that the riverine standards "appear to be scientifically defensible" in his findings
supporting his recommendation (although EPA did not specifically reference MPCA's use of
BODS and DO flux). Id , ¶¶ 101-102. MPCA thereafter formally adopted the riverine
standards on June 24, 2014 and published notice of adoption of the Standards in the Minnesota
State Register on August 4, 2014. See Ex. 6, Published notice of adoption of riverine standards.

d. New evidence necessitatinz rule amendment
Following the MPCA's adoption of the riverine standards, counsel for MESERB
submitted a FOIA request to EPA regarding the use of the BODS test as a valid nutrient
impairment indicator. See Ex. 7, BODS FOIA Request/Response. In its response to the FOIA
request, EPA conceded that it possesses no documentation supporting the use of the BODS test
as a proper nutrient response criterion, thus negating MPCA's claims during rulemaking that
EPA had reviewed and agreed with its use of the BODS test in the riverine standards. Id
Further, The Standard Methods, the expert that EPA relies upon for proper test
development and usage (see 40 C.F.R. § 136.3) and the entity that developed the BODS test in
the first place, published a memorandum on November 19, 2014 for the purpose of clarifying
that BODS should not be used as a parameter to evaluate the presence of a nutrient impairment.
See Ex. 8, Standard Methods Memo on BODS test. In this publication the Standard Methods
board of directors specifically instructed that "[t]he BOD test (Standard Method S21 0 B) is not
considered to provide an appropriate measure of nutrient pollution nor is it a valid predictor of
nutrient impacts.") (emphasis supplied.) 5
This new evidence confirms that the BODS test is simply being misapplied in the riverine
standards as it plainly was not designed to be, and is incapable of reliably predicting nutrient
impairment in the environment. Therefore, use of this test to identify nutrient impaired waters is
clearly not scientifically defensible, in violation of 40 CFR 131.5 Humana ofAurora v. Heckler,
7S3 F.2d 1579, 1583 (10th Cir. 1985) ("When an agency [decision is] based on a study [that is]
not designed for the purpose and which is limited and criticized by its authors on points essential
to the use sought to be made of it, the administrative action is arbitrary and capricious and a clear
error in judgment."').
Moreover, courts in Minnesota prevent the admission into evidence of the results of a
scientific test that was not correctly applied or not intended to demonstrate a scientific/factual
issue. See Goeb v. Tharaldson, 615 N.W.2d 800, 810 (Minn. 2000) (in order for scientific
evidence to be admissible "[t]he scientific technique must be generally accepted within the
relevant scientific community, and the particular evidence introduced must have a scientifically
reliable foundation") (citing Frye v. United States, 293 F. 1013 (D.C.Cir.1923), and State v.
Mack, 292 N.W.2d 764, 768-69, 772 (Minn. 1980)). A fortiori, the riverine standards must not be
allowed to misapply the BODS test to predict nutrient impairments (and thus violations of the
5 Eaton, A. November 19, 2014. Memorandum: RE: BOD as an Indicator of Nutrient Pollution.
Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater Joint Editorial Board.
Available at https://www.standardmethods.org/PDF/BOD Nutrient Pollution _Memo 2014.pdf
7
riverine standards) when such test was not designed to and is not capable of accurately predicting
nutrient impairment. Id
With specific regard to DO flux, a separate EPA FOIA response affirmed that the Agency
has no documentation supporting use of DO flux as an aquatic life impairment parameter. See
Ex. 9, DO flux FOIA Request/Response with follow-up correspondence. In this FOIA response,
EPA confirmed that it "currently has no official records dealing with DO variation as a water
quality impairment in and of itself (that is, when DO levels never drop below the daily minimum
OR the 7 -day mean minimum)." This new evidence from the EPA again contradicts MPCA's
representations during the rulemaking that EPA had reviewed and agreed with MPCA's use of
DO flux as an impairment criterion, and undermines the continued reasonableness of maintaining
the DO flux variable in the riverine standards.
Finally, MPCA admitted in a filing to the Minnesota Court of Appeals in the MESERB
case (870 N.W.2d 97) that it possesses no information indicating that it ever requested any of the
expert peer reviewers tasked with reviewing its riverine standards to specifically address the
BODS and DO flux issues. See Ex. 10, Excerpts from MESERB Motion to Supplement the
Administrative Record, December 5, 2014, and MPCA Response to Petition to Supplement the
Record, Minnesota Court of Appeals Case No. A14-1694, December 11, 2014 ("First, simply
put, MPCA has no direct or indirect knowledge that such information (i.e. various records
relating to the scope, content, and issues addressed by each of the six expert peer reviews) exists
and does not possess, nor has ever possessed such additional information.")
MPCA's admission, post rulemaking that it possesses no information indicating that the
objections to using BODS or DO flux as nutrient response variables, which were repeatedly
raised since 2010 by MESERB and its experts, were ever presented to any peer reviewer,
undermines its assurances during rulemaking that these expert peer reviewers (from the EPA and
otherwise) confirmed these objections to be unsupported. See infra, p. 6. In so doing MPCA
"swept [an] issue under the rug" and "avoided stubborn questions" in the rulemaking. See White
v. Minnesota Dept of Natural Resources, 567 N.W.2d 724, 735 (Minn. App. 1997).
In considering (and rejecting) MESERB's and other regulated parties' challenge to the
riverine standards, the Minnesota Court of Appeals, at MPCA's request, specifically refused to
consider the Standard Methods memorandum rejecting the use of the BODS test as a nutrient
impairment indicator and EPA's FOIA responses confirming that it possesses no records
supporting MPCA's use of BODS and/or DO flux as nutrient response criteria. See Ex. 1,
Minnesota Court of Appeals' Order denying motion to supplement administrative record.
The maintenance of the BODS and DO flux nutrient response variables in the riverine
standards will result in MPCA classifying Minnesota rivers and streams as nutrient impaired
even though there is, in fact, no impairment related to nutrients.6 The new evidence now
6 Conversely, it also possible that the numeric criteria selected for DO flux and BODS will not be
8
available from The Standard Methods and the EPA confirms that the riverine standards, as
currently constructed with the BODS and DO flux endpoints included, are likely to improperly
indicate nutrient impairment even where plant growth is not causing an impairment of beneficial
water uses. See Minn. R. 7050.0150, subp. 5b (high nutrients with any elevated response
variables constitutes a violation of the riverine standards). An agency regulation that lacks
documented, reasonable scientific support is unreasonable. Minn. R. 1400.2070, subp. 1; see
Manufactured Housing Just. v. Pettersen, 347 N.W.2d 238 (Minn. 1984), Minn. Chamber of
Commerce v. Minn. Pollution Control Agency, 469 N.W.2d 100 (Minn. Ct. App. 1991); 40
C.F.R. 131.11(a) (criteria must have sound scientific rationale).
Especially in light of the significant fiscal impacts to the regulated community and the
public of classifying a waterbody as nutrient impaired and the adverse ecological effects of
increasing chemical and energy usage, criteria and response variables that are not based on a
sound scientific rationale and will result in misclassifications of nutrient impairments simply
must be corrected.
4. Proposed Rule Amendment
In light of the new evidence described in Section 3 infra (the Standard Methods
memorandum rejecting the use of the BODS test as a nutrient impairment indicator, EPA's FOIA
responses confirming that it possesses no records supporting MPCA's use of BODS and/or DO
flux as nutrient response criteria, and MPCA's admission that it possesses no information
indicating that it ever requested any of its peer reviewers to specifically address the BODS and
DO flux issues), Petitioners hereby petition for the following amendments to Minn. R.
7050.0150, .0220, and .0222 as follows:
Minn. R. 7050.0150
exceeded in situations where there is a real nutrient impairment.
7 Further, the riverine standards' misuse of the BODS test DO flux measurement is inconsistent
the MPCA's statutory authority, which requires WQS to be structured in such a way as to
demonstrate how the pollutant of concern is causing the adverse effect sought to be avoided: in
other words, causation and not merely correlation. See Minn. Stat. § 115.03, subd. 1 (the
MPCA's authority is to "establish ... such reasonable pollution standards for any waters of the
state in relation to the public use to which they are or may be put as it shall deem necessary...").
See also Minn. R. 7050.0150, subp. 1 (the MPCA "shall determine an exceedance of water
quality standards or an impaired condition based on pollution of the waters of the state from
point and nonpoint sources that has resulted in the degradation of ... the water body to the extent
that attainable or previously existing beneficial uses are actually or potentially lost.") (emphasis
supplied).

MEMORANDUM
To: CGMC and MESERB Members
From: Christopher M. Hood, Shareholder Attorney; and
Robert T. Scott, Senior Attorney
Daniel M. Max, Associate Attorney
Date: January 15, 2016
Re: Rulemaking Petition to MPCA
The Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities (CGMC) and Minnesota Environmental Science and
Economic Review Board (MESERB) at their respective Fall membership meetings authorized
filing a petition for rulemaking with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) seeking
to have the MPCA amend its newly adopted riverine standards based upon the post -rulemaking
identification of new evidence, which demonstrates such rules have relied upon two factors
(dissolved oxygen (DO) flux and the five-day biochemical oxygen demand (BODS) test) for
purposes of identifying nutrient impairment not accepted by the scientific community or the U.S.
EPA for use for such purposes. As a result, the current MPCA riverine standards rule is
significantly flawed, and we desire at this time to present such information to the MPCA in the
form of a petition for rule amendments so that the MPCA can take the appropriate steps
necessary to correct the rule.
Background and Legal Basis for Petition for Rulemaking
Under section 303(c) of the Clean Water Act, state standards are required to be based on a
"sound scientific rationale" and "sound scientific information" (40 C.F.R. 131.11(a) and (b)),
and "appropriate technical and scientific data and analyses" (40 C.F.R. 131.5(a)(4)).
However, new evidence, which has come to light following the adoption of the riverine
standards, clearly demonstrates that the current rules, in part, do not meet the above
requirements. In Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), EPA responded stating that it had no documents or records in its
possession demonstrating either;
1. that dissolved oxygen (DO) flux, per se, should be considered indicative of use
impairment in a river or stream, or
2. that using the five-day biochemical oxygen demand (BODS) test as a nutrient
response criterion was scientifically defensible,
525 Park Street I Suite 470 1 St. Paul. MN 55103 1 651-225-6640 1 Fax 651-225-90BB I info@flaherty-hood.com
both of which are factors used for such purposes in the MPCA's currently adopted riverine
standards.
Use of such scientifically unsupported criteria in the current riverine standards demonstrates that
the adopted rule, in the portions of the rules using such criteria, is unreasonable and arbitrary
since no information or evidence exists showing that (1) the BODS test is a valid nutrient
impairment indicator, or (2) that DO flux causes aquatic life impairments.
This argument is also significantly bolstered by the publication of a memorandum from Andrew
Eaton, of the Joint Editorial Board of the Standard Methods. for the Examination of Water and
Wastewater, who is the creator of the BODS test, dated November 19, 2014 (the Standard
Methods memorandum), which directly confirmed that this test, currently relied upon by the
MPCA in its adopted rules, is not "an appropriate measure of nutrient pollution nor is it a valid
predictor of nutrient impacts."
The existence of the EPA's FOIA responses and the Standard Methods memorandum, are new
evidence going to the reasonableness of the adopted rules containing riverine standards and
unequivocally demonstrate that key aspects of the MPCA's current riverine standards rule were
not scientifically defensible. Thus, these portions of the rules containing the riverine standards
are scientifically flawed and unreasonable, and amendment of these portions of the rules to
correct the same through this rulemaking petition is necessary and appropriate at this time.
Rulemaking Petition Process to Amend MPCA's Riverine Standards
• Governing Law
Minnesota Statutes, section 14.091 authorizes a city or sanitary district to petition for the
amendment of a rule(s) or specific portion of a rule(s) (such as MPCA's riverine standards rules)
if it can demonstrate that "one of the following has become available since the adoption of the
rule in question:
(1) significant new evidence relating to the need for or reasonableness of the rule; or
(2) less costly or intrusive methods of achieving the purpose of the rule."
In this case, as mentioned above, significant new evidence exists relating to the reasonableness
of the riverine standards rule in the form of the EPA FOIA responses and the Standard Methods
memorandum providing compelling post -rulemaking evidence that the BODS test is not a valid
nutrient impairment indicator and that DO flux does not cause aquatic life impairments.
This rulemaking petition presents what is a very straightforward and easy to understand issue. It
is our hope that the MPCA will see the reasonableness of the request and proceed to voluntarily
correct the current rules. However, MPCA to date, has resisted prior attempts to correct the
rules, and we believe there are no other options short of filing this rulemaking petition to seek
resolution. We believe that if this clearly scientifically flawed rule goes uncorrected, it could
result in millions of dollars of unjustified and needless expenditures of taxpayer and ratepayer
dollars. In short, there is clear evidence that the current riverine standards rule is significantly
Page 2
flawed and unreasonable. The present rulemaking petition is intended to correct the portion of
the rules that are so flawed and unreasonable and leave rules in place that are scientifically sound
and justified.
• Rulemaking Petition Process
Upon receiving a rulemaking petition from one or more cities or sanitary districts, the MPCA is
required to either (1) agree to the requested amendment of the riverine standards rule as
contained in the petition, or (2) turn the petition over to the Office of Administrative Hearings
(OAH) for review. Minn. Stat. § 14.091, subd. (c). OAH would then be tasked with determining
if the petition satisfied the requirements outlined above, and if so, would hold a rulemaking
hearing and issue an order on the continued need for and reasonableness of the riverine standards
rule. Id., subd. (d). If OAH were to conclude that the riverine standards were no longer
reasonable, the rules would become unenforceable 90 days thereafter, pending further action by
the MPCA to amend the rules impacted by OAH's order. Id, subd. (e).
If OAH were to find that the riverine standards rule continues to be needed and reasonable, the
petitioning cities and/or sanitary districts would likely be able to appeal OAH's decision to the
Minnesota Court of Appeals as a matter of right under a writ of certiorari. Minn. Stat. § 606.06;
see also Meath v. Harmful Substance Compensation Bd., 550 N.W.2d 275 (Minn. 1996) (quasi-
judicial decisions of administrative agencies, "marked by an investigation into a disputed claim
and a decision binding on the parties," are appealable under a writ of certiorari).
A successful petition under Minn. Stat. § 14.091, whether through the OAH rulemaking hearing
or subsequent appeal, would result in the challenged riverine standards rules being
unenforceable, and would again likely result in the MPCA seeking to amend its standards
consistent with the positions contained in the rulemaking petition.
