APPROVAL OF MINUTES Possible approval of minutes of August 10, 2023 meeting Motion by Commissioner Whitcomb, seconded by Chairman Speedling, to approve the minutes of the August 10, 2023 meeting. All in favor. OPEN FORUM There were no public comments. NEW BUSINESS Water Main Extension - 2024 Street Project Public Works Director Sanders explained that during the feasibility study for the 2024 Street Improvement Project, it was discovered that there is no water main on Abbott south of Willard Street and Willard west of Owens. The properties on these two segments are served by two separate private lines located in the street. Since the streets will be torn up for street reconstruction, it is an opportune time to install new water main and eliminate the private lines. This would require about 700 feet of new water main and reconnection of the existing services at an estimated cost of $70,000. Staff requests that the Water Revenue Fund pay for the water main looping as part of the 2024 Street Improvement Project. Motion by Chair Speedling, seconded by Commissioner Hutter, to spend the estimated $70,000 from the Water Revenue Fund for the watermain on Willard and Abbott. All in favor. PFAS Update Utilities Commission Meeting January 11, 2024 Page 2 of 3 Mr. Sanders informed the Commission that the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) required the shutdown of Well #6 due to Per and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) above the health risk index of 1.1. The MDH issued a Health Risk Advisory and is requiring the City to send a notice to residents even though the well has been shut down since April 2023. Staff will work with the MDH to notice residents and develop options for getting the well operational again. Staff believes Well #10 may be the next well to be shut down, as PFAS appears to be slowly moving from Woodbury, Cottage Grove, Lake Elmo, to the north. Cottage Grove and Woodbury have constructed water treatment plants. Commissioner Hudak commented it would be helpful, as the City considers future options, to know if the MDH has the plume delineated. COMMISSIONER ITEMS Commissioner Whitcomb asked why the storm sewer system is not under the purview of the Utilities Commission. New developments are required to have a homeowner association to manage the stormwater, but if there is a problem, the City gets involved because it is better equipped to handle those types of projects versus homeowners who have no experience with them. Mr. Sanders replied that adding the storm sewer utility could be discussed in the future. Councilmember Polehna noted that lights are another utility to consider placing under the Utilities Commission. Commissioner Hudak asked for an update on security of the City’s water system in terms of both terrorism and emergency needs/failure. Mr. Sanders replied that staff is working with a vendor to develop a security system for the well houses and funding is set aside this year. Councilmember Polehna asked for an update on property development. Mr. Sanders stated developments occurring in the southwest corner of the City over the next few years are: Central Commons south of Highway 36, east of Manning; and the Lakeview Hospital site on the northeast corner of Highway 36 and Manning. A contractor is working on plans to extend sewer and water from Curve Crest Blvd to the west on the Lakeview property, then crossing under Highway 36 to serve Central Commons. The goal is to have those utilities completed later this year. There will be a lift station on the north side of Highway 36. Commissioner Hudak asked if the current water capacity can handle the new development and Mr. Sanders answered yes. DIRECTOR/SUPERINTENDENT UPDATE Mr. Sanders stated the City is advertising for a new commissioner to fill Commissioner Jensen’s seat. He reported there was a water service break at 4th and Oak Streets. The property owner was notified, Miller was hired to do the work and the City would be reimbursed. However another water service was discovered in the same trench which was the actual source of the leak. The work was done, the City notified the second property owner and they disputed the charge because they were not properly notified and could have fixed it on their own for less. The City may be responsible for the $8,000 cost. Mr. Sanders also stated the water efficiency rebate grant money is almost gone and he has asked the Met Council for another $10,000 to cover the next two quarters because the program is very popular. The Commission acknowledged with sadness the passing of Commissioner Karen Jensen. Monthly Gallons Pumped Mr. Sanders provided the gallons pumped in 2023: 756 million gallons. Utilities Commission Meeting January 11, 2024 Page 3 of 3 UNFINISHED BUSINESS There was no unfinished business. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Chairman Speedling, seconded by Commissioner Hudak, to adjourn. All in favor. The meeting was adjourned at 8:49 a.m. The next meeting date is February 8, 2024. Steve Speedling, Chair ATTEST: Shawn Sanders, Public Works Director To: Utility Commission Members From: Shawn Sanders, Director of Public Works Date: February 8, 2024 Subject: PFA Communication Plan DISCUSSION Recently, the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) issued a Health Risk Advisory for PFA’s at Well number # 6 (Fourth Street). MDH recommends that the City notify its consumers about PFA in the drinking Water Supply. Staff has been working with TKDA on a notification and has suggested establishing a PFA’s communication plan for the City. TKDA will be attending the utility commission meeting to present the proposed plan. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the commission review, comment and approved the PFA Communication Plan for the City. An equal opportunity employer. P r o t e c t i n g , M a i n t a i n i n g a n d I m p r o v i n g t h e H e a l t h o f A l l M i n n e s o t a n s October 31, 2023 Stillwater City Council c/o Clerk 216 Fourth Street N Stillwater, MN 55082 Subject: Health Risk Advisory for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in the Stillwater Drinking Water System (PWSID# 1820024) Dear Council Members: This letter is to notify you that the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) is issuing a Health Risk Advisory for PFAS at Well #6. MDH recommends that the city of Stillwater notify its consumers about PFAS in their drinking water supply. It is important that people consuming the water be informed about any potential health risks and actions they can take to reduce exposure to PFAS from their drinking water, as well as any actions the water system is taking. We encourage the water system to lead this messaging. In addition, MDH recommends that the city of Stillwater plan for and take action to reduce exposure to PFAS to a Health Risk Index (HRI) of 1.0 or below in the drinking water supply. An HRI of 1.0 and below represents a safe level where health effects are unlikely to occur. MDH recommends public health actions once the HRI is 1.1 or greater. More information about the HRI and how it is calculated is provided in this letter. Sample Results The results for the most recent PFAS samples collected from Well #6 Entry Point and analyzed by EPA Method 533 are shown in the table below. The running annual average level of PFAS at Well #6 exceeds an HRI of 1.0, so MDH is issuing this Health Risk Advisory. Stillwater Well #6 Entry Point Sample Results Collection Date PFBS (ng/L) PFBA (ng/L) PFHxS (ng/L) PFHxA (ng/L) PFOS (ng/L) PFOA (ng/L) HRI Running Avg. HRI 8/16/2023 2.2 100 8.5 1.9 14 2.7 1.2 1.3 4/27/2023 2.5 100 9.3 2.3 15 3.4 1.3 1.3 3/7/2023 2.4 120 9.5 2.1 15 3.1 1.3 1.3 11/22/2022 2.4 120 8.5 2.1 14 3.4 1.3 - ng/L = nanograms per liter Bold means that the concentration exceeds a Health Based Value, Health Risk Limit or Health Risk Index 2 HRI and Health Effects for PFAS MDH has developed health-based guidance values for some PFAS found in drinking water. These guidance values are set at levels which pose little or no health risk to people, including the most sensitive populations. Although the potential for harm increases as the level of a contaminant increases above the guidance value, health scientists may not be able to precisely estimate the change in risk. These guidance values are designed to be protective for exposures over short periods of time as well as over a lifetime. The table below shows the current guidance values for PFAS that MDH uses to evaluate drinking water samples. Current MDH Guidance Values Name of PFAS Guidance Value (ng/L) Perfluorobutane Sulfonate (PFBS) 100 Perfluorobutanoic Acid (PFBA) 7000 Perfluorohexane Sulfonate (PFHxS) 47 Perfluorohexanoic Acid (PFHxA) 200 Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS) 15 Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) 35 Because each of these PFAS chemicals can cause similar types of adverse health effects, Minnesota Rules part 4717.7880 requires that when multiple PFAS are found in drinking water, an HRI must be calculated to determine if the combined chemicals increase risk for possible health impacts. Information about how the HRI is calculated is attached and can also be found in Minnesota Rules part 4717.7880. An HRI greater than 1.0 indicates that although a single chemical may not pose a health risk alone, the combined chemicals may indicate an increased risk for possible health impacts. For More Information As a standard practice, MDH notifies the governor’s office and area legislators when health risk advisory letters are issued. In addition, MDH is sending a copy of this letter to your local public health department. If you have any questions about health concerns or would like more information about PFAS, contact the MDH Health Risk Assessment Unit at 651-201-4899 or health.risk@state.mn.us. For technical assistance related to the drinking water system, please contact Lucas Martin, District Engineer, at 651-201-4144 or lucas.martin@state.mn.us. More information about PFAS is also available on our website at: MDH PFAS Website (https://www.health.state.mn.us/communities/environment/hazardous/topics/pfcs.html) Sincerely, Thomas P. Hogan Director, Environmental Health Division PO Box 64975 St. Paul, MN 55164-0975 www.health.state.mn.us cc: Kirk Koudelka, Assistant Commissioner, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Pam Anderson, Interim Division Director, Remediation Division, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency David Brummel, Director, Washington County Public Health & Environment Enclosure: Health Risk Index Calculation 3 Health Risk Index Calculation Groundwater can contain multiple chemicals. Combinations of chemicals may cause health effects that are different from the health effects of each individual chemical. MDH evaluates the health effects of groups of chemicals using the following process: ▪ Chemicals that share a common health endpoint (such as change to the liver, kidney, or other organ) are evaluated together. If a chemical has no known health effect, it is not included in the group. ▪ For each chemical in the group, MDH calculates a ratio of the groundwater concentration of the chemical to the health-based guidance value (HBV) appropriate to the length of exposure for that chemical. MDH adds the ratios for all of the chemicals in the group to create a number called a Health Risk Index (HRI). ▪ An HRI over one indicates a possible health risk from the group of chemicals. Below is an example of how MDH calculates the HRI for mixtures of Perfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) for which we have health-based guidance values: 𝐻𝑅𝐻=𝐴𝑂𝐹𝑂𝑆 𝑂𝐹𝑂𝑅 𝐻𝐴𝑉+𝐴𝑂𝐹𝑂𝐴 𝑂𝐹𝑂𝐴 𝐻𝐴𝑉+𝐴𝑂𝐹𝐴𝑆 𝑂𝐹𝐴𝑅 𝐻𝐴𝑉+𝐴𝑂𝐹𝐴𝐴 𝑂𝐹𝐴𝐴 𝐻𝐴𝑉+𝐴𝑂𝐹𝐻𝑥𝑆 𝑂𝐹𝐻𝑥𝑅 𝐻𝐴𝑉+𝐴𝑂𝐹𝐻𝑥𝐴 𝑂𝐹𝐻𝑥𝐴 𝐻𝐴𝑉 CN = the concentration of N chemical that has been detected in groundwater MDH uses procedures stated in the Health Risk Limits Rules for Groundwater for evaluating exposure to multiple chemicals. This process is based on an additive model. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency uses this model as a reasonable approach given what is unknown about how chemicals interact in the body. Significant Digits and Rounding When health-based guidance values are derived, the calculations include safety factors which may reduce the value by hundreds or thousands of times. Therefore, the final HRI represents a “safe dose” where health effects are unlikely to occur. In general, MDH calculates HRIs to one significant digit. Since HBVs typically have a single significant digit, rounding the HRI to more than one significant digit introduces false precision and can give an inaccurate depiction of risk. For risk management decisions, it can be useful to include an additional significant figure (e.g. decimal point) for HRIs at or slightly above 1. This additional significant figure can be used by risk managers to inform potential actions rather than as a direct indicator of health risk. In these circumstances, MDH uses the following to determine if the HRI is above 1 and further evaluation may be warranted: ▪ HRI of 1-1.04 rounds down to 1.0 ▪ HRI of 1.05-1.09 rounds up to 1.1 When the HRI is below 1.1, the health risk is minimal. MDH recommends close monitoring of the situation when an HRI is just below or just above 1 and considering public health actions once the HRI is 1.1 or greater. Although the risk at 1.1 is also unlikely to result in health effects, this value represents a reasonable action level for risk managers to use for further evaluation and decision-making. Calculating an HRI is just the first step in assessing whether a potential risk may need to be addressed. Depending on the situation, further actions may be necessary to ensure the prolonged safety of the water, such as increased monitoring or planning to find a new water source. While the HRI is not a precise predictor of risk, it is one of many tools intended to help risk assessors and managers make more health protective decisions when there are multiple chemicals involved and the health consequences, if any, may not be clear. City of Stillwater Utilities Commission PFAS Communication Plan February 8, 2024 Purpose of the Plan The purpose of the City’s PFAS Communication Plan is to identify the topic, scope of the plan, audience, communication strategies, schedule and resources, and method of documenting feedback and comments. This Communication Plan will be updated as new information becomes available to the City of Stillwater. The plan has been developed based on general recommendations from the MDH and EPA and reviewed with the City’s Public Works Director/City Engineer and Utilities Superintendent. February 8, 20242 According to the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), PFAS (commonly referred to as Forever Chemicals) are a family of human-made chemicals that have been widely used for decades. PFAS are extremely stable and do not breakdown in the environment. PFAS have been found in the groundwater and surface water in Minnesota. Some PFAS can build up and stay in the human body for many years. According to MDH, consuming water with PFAS above the health-based guidance values can increase risk of health effects. These increased health effects include: •Higher cholesterol •Changes to liver function •Reduced immune response •Thyroid disease •Kidney and testicular cancer (for PFOA) Background February 8, 20243 MDH is testing for PFAS in community water systems (CWSs) across the state. A goal of MDH’s initiative is to evaluate whether Minnesotans are exposed to PFAS at levels above health-based guidance values in drinking water. Background (Continued) February 8, 20244 •City of Stillwater: Provides water services to residents and businesses within the community. •Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): Responsible for the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). The EPA sets national health-based standards to protect against naturally occurring and man-made contaminants that may be found in drinking water. •Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA): Responsible for preventing, managing and the clean up of PFAS pollution. Grants in aid for PFAS mitigation in community water systems is overseen by MPCA. •Minnesota Health Department (MDH): Responsible for ensuring safe drinking water and enforcement of the SDWA. MDH performs regular testing of community water systems. MDH has developed health-based guidance values to represent levels for several PFAS in drinking water. Roles & Responsibilities February 8, 20245 MDH PFAS Testing of Minnesota Community Water Systems A Community Water System (CWS) provides water to the public in their primary living space—where people live and sleep. CWSs include municipalities (cities and towns) as well as some manufactured home parks, college campuses, prisons, and long-term care facilities. In Minnesota, CWSs supply drinking water to approximately 4.5 million people. PFAS samples are collected from the system entry point(s), where the source or treated water enters the network of pipes that provide drinking water to CWSs customers. MDH has tested 919 or 99% of CSWs in Minnesota. The City of Stillwater owns and operates 8 wells. The City’s wells have been tested by MDH. A Health Risk Advisory has been issued by MDH for PFAS at Well #6.

Meet MDH’s expectations that the community lead efforts on communication regarding drinking water. 2.Share PFAS Sampling Results for the City of Stillwater and steps that are being taken by the City to mitigate exposure to PFAS. 3.Articulate the City’s commitment to providing safe drinking water to its customers. 4.Provide avenues for the City to hear from its customers regarding their questions, thoughts, and concerns. 5.Help community members understand the risks and participate in decision making about how risks should be managed. February 8, 20248 Key Messages 1.PFAS are manufactured chemicals that have been in industry and consumer products since the 1940’s. There are thousands of different PFAS. 2.Most people in the United States have been exposed to some PFAS. People can be exposed to PFAS by touching, drinking, eating, or breathing in materials containing PFAS. PFAS have been found in: •Drinking water •Solid waste disposal sites •Firefighting foam •Consumer products, such as stain and water repellent or non-stick products •Food packaging •Biosolids •Food February 8, 20249 3.The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is authorized under The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) to set national health-based standards for drinking water to protect against naturally occurring and man-made contaminants that may be found in drinking water. The SDWA defines a contaminant as anything other than water molecules. The US EPA, states, and water systems work together to ensure that these standards are met. 4.PFAS are not currently regulated under the SDWA; however, EPA is proposing a National Primary Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR) to establish legally enforceable levels, called Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) for six PFAS in drinking water. EPA is also proposing health-based, non-enforceable Maximum Contaminant Level Goals (MCLGs) for six PFAS. 5.MDH is responsible for ensuring safe drinking water for all Minnesotans. MDH protects drinking water through regular testing of community water systems (CWSs) for contaminants and by establishing Health Based Guidance Values for Drinking Water. Stillwater’s water supply has been tested by MDH. February 8, 202410 Key Messages (Continued) 6.Based on results of testing, MDH has issued a Health Risk Advisory for PFAS at Well #6. In response, the City has taken the following actions: •The City has stopped using Well #6 as a primary well. This means that the well has been designated to be the last well to pump water in its pressure zone and is only pumped during peak water use periods when the other wells cannot keep up with the demand. •The City will continue to work with MDH as additional testing is undertaken. •The City is evaluating strategies to reduce the use of Well #6 or treat water produced by this well. The City will be seeking financial assistance should capital projects be required. February 8, 202411 Key Messages (Continued) 7.Customers can consider the following: •Stay informed through the City’s website and discuss concerns with City officials. As an emerging contaminate, scientific information continues to become available. •Be knowledgeable about other sources of PFAS and consider reducing the use of these products which contain PFAS. •Consider installing and maintaining filtration devices in homes, businesses, or facilities. See additional information here: PFAS and Home Treatment of Water -MN Dept. of Health (state.mn.us) ▪Cost and maintenance of these devices are the responsibility of the property owner or occupant. 8.The City of Stillwater is committed to providing safe drinking water. The City will continue to work with MDH on this issue and will inform the public as new data becomes available which warrant a different course of action.
