MINNESOTA POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY
GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR SANITARY SEWER EXTENSION PERMITS
GENERAL CONDITIONS:
1) Material, labor and equipment for temporary erosion control measures and
the acceptable maintenance thereof shall be provided during the life of the
project, to effectively prevent water pollution through the use of berms,
dikes, dams, sediment basins, fiber mats, netting, gravel, mulches,
grasses, slope drains, and other erosion control devices or methods.
Surface cover materials shall be anchored to reasonably prevent their
entering waters of the State by erosion or rising water levels.
2) Temporary pollution control measures shall be included for all construction
activity associated with the project where such work is necessary, for
example borrow pit operations, haul roads, equipment storage, and plant or
waste disposal sites.

The temporary pollution control provisions contained herein shall be
coordinated with any permanent erosion features to the extent practical to
assure economical, effective, and continuous erosion control throughout the
construction and post -construction period.
The surface area of erodible earth material exposed by clearing and
grubbing, excavation, borrow and fill operations shall be minimized and
immediate permanent or temporary control measures shall be taken to prevent
contamination of adjacent streams and other water courses, lakes, ponds,
and areas of water impoundment. Cut slopes shall be stabilized by methods
such as seeding and mulching as the excavation proceeds to the extent
considered practicable. Slopes shall be graded properly to minimize
erosion.
The Applicant will be required to incorporate all permanent erosion control
features into the project at the earliest practicable time. Provisions
should be made for continual checking and maintenance of all control
measures, particularly during periods of rainfall, to ensure maximum
effectiveness. Temporary pollution control measures will be used to
correct conditions that develop during construction that were not foreseen
during the design state; that are needed temporarily to control erosion
that develops during normal construction practices, but are not associated
with the permanent control features on the project.
The Applicant will control the area of excavation, borrow and embankment
operations commensurate with his progress with finish grading, mulching,
seeding, and other such permanent erosion control measures. Should
seasonal limitations make such coordination unrealistic, temporary erosion
control measures shall be taken to the extent feasible.
Oil and other liquid substances capable of polluting water of the State
will be stored in accordance with the requirements of MPCA Miscellaneous
Water Quality Rules Chapter 7100.0010 - 7100.0090 (formerly Minnesota Code
of Agency Rules 6 MCAR 4.8004) (formerly WPC-4).

16) The Agency, its officers, employees and agents review and comment upon
engineering reports and construction plans and specifications regarding
this permit solely for the limited purpose of determining whether such
report, plans and specifications will enable the facilities subject thereto
to reasonably comply with the regulations and criteria of the Agency.
17) This permit has not been reviewed by the U. S. Environmental Protection
Agency and is not issued pursuant to Section 402 of the Federal Water
Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972.

completes all applicable environmental review (Environmental Impacts
Statement or Environmental Assessment Worksheet) which may be required for
the project.
20) This permit authorizes the Holder to perform the activities described
herein under the conditions set forth. In issuing this permit, the
state/agency assumes no responsibility for any damage to persons, property
or the environment caused by the activities of the Holder in the conduct of
its actions, including those activities authorized, directed or undertaken

INFORMATION RELATIVE TO
REVIEW OF PLANS AND PERMIT APPLICATIONS
November 1, 1982 •
The review of plans and specifications for sewage, industrial waste or
other waste disposal systems and application for permits is made in
accordance with the authority conferred by law (see MS, Section 115.07).
Approval of plans and permits is based upon the assumption that the
information provided by the applicant is correct and that all necessary
legal requirements have been or will be satisfied.
Plans for sewage, industrial waste or other waste disposal systems are
examined with regard to the design features which apply to operation and
maintenance of the treatment works or sewer system, the degree of treatment
to be provided, the effectiveness and reliability of the system or methods
employed, and compliance with applicable standards systems. The bulletins
entitled Recommended Standards for Sewage Works, 1978 edition, and Federal
Guidelines for Design, Operation and Maintenance of Waste Water Treatment
Facilities, September 1970, and supplements thereto, as well as other
information are used in examination of the design, operation and
maintenance aspects of the proposed system.
Sewer plans are recommended for approval on the basis that the system is to
collect only domestic sewage and such industrial or other waste as may have
been provided for in the design. Foundation or footing drains to collect
ground water and roof drains or other surface water conduits should not be
connected to the sanitary sewer system. Adequate field supervision and
inspection by a qualified representative of the owner should be provided at
all times during construction to assure that the project is constructed in
compliance with the approved plans and specifications.
The Agency assumes no responsibility for the integrity of structures or
physical features, or for the reliability, durability or efficiency of
specific items of propriety equipment or material. All applicable federal,
state and local laws, regulations or ordinances must be followed in the
design, location and corstruction of proposed sewer systems or treatment
works.
The Agency reserves the right to withdraw its approval of plans if
construction is not undertaken within a reasonable period after issuance of
the permit.
DOWNTOWN PARKING MANAGEMENT PLAN:
TASK FORCE INTERIM REPORT
•
•
•
The merits of a parking management plan based on free parking and close
enforcement to achieve high turnover were recognized and designated for
study and evaluation through review during the first year of implemen-
tation. Initial preparations included a detailed survey and inventory of
all existing parking spaces in the downtown area. A study of their use
and demand was also completed.
In response to these findings, a comprehensive plan was formulated
designed to address the multiple needs identified. Employee parking
under a permit system was established, concentrated away from the downtown
streets, resulting in more immediate and convenient access for business
patrons. Handicap parking areas were designated within existing lots,
and several 'special' parking zones or areas were eliminated.
Enforcement on a daily basis is provided by one part-time police
department employee. Early enforcement included a preliminary period of
issuing warning tickets only. Parking zones and enforcement are on a
"time -occupied" besis with enforcement personnel chalking tires and issuing
citations in accordance with posted -time limits for designated parking
spaces.
Summary: July 30, 1990
Parking Task Force members each accepted assignment to a portion of the
downtown district and agreed to work as a communication liason with the
businesses in that area. The response to the Parking Plan has by far
been one of enthusiastic approval. The overwhelming majority of merchants
• have indicated immediate and favorable effects, and many have received
and passed on compliments and accolades from their patrons.
•
•
Many favorable comments and outright praise has been received regarding the
performance and attitude of the enforcement officer working in the program.
Visitors to the downtown area regularly remark on the friendly, cheerful,
and very helpful individual they encounter in.the officer. For many of
those persons, this individual is their first and only encounter with a
city representative. Recognition of the officer's outstanding efforts as
a goodwill ambassador of the City is certainly warranted.
CONCLUSIONS:
It is the collective opinion of this Task Force that the present Downtown
Parking Plan is a success, limited only by the physical restraints of
available space. The demand for all -day employee parking under the
permit system substantially exceeds the number of spaces that can reason-
ably be dedicated to that need from the finite resources available.
Acceleration of long-range planning for construction of parking structures
is the practical solution to meeting ever-increasing parking demands.
Creating access and leveling the area available as a result of the
removal .of the structure on the city -owned property on North Second Street
will contribute substantially to reducing the congestion encountered North
of Commercial Street. A need for spaces designated for longer than the
-2-
present maximum period of four (4) hours has also been established.
Availability of spaces for those visitors intending to stay the better
part of a day (6-8 hrs.) is clearly lacking.
Additional signage and pavement markings in some isolated areas still
remain to be completed. The Task Force has recognized as an aesthetic
goal an intent to minimize the visual impact of all parking signage
through strategic placement in an effort to reduce overall signage
requirements.
Enforcement of parking.restrictions is hampered by the natural constraints
of limited staffing. The solitary individual dedicated to enforcement by
the Police Department is regularly removed or prevented from actual
enforcement by the necessity to complete clerical responsibilities and
data entry requirements. As a result, enforcement may actually take place
four days a week or less. If the officer .is ill or otherwise unavailable,
enforcement of present parking restriction does not take place at all.
Constant and accurate enforcement very obviously requires that a second
individual be engaged and dedicated to the program. Performance to date
has indicated that a fully trained law enforcement officer is not required;
and that knowledgable, well trained personnel are more than able to fulfill
the requirements of the position.
As earlier stated, it is the considered opinion of this Task Force, having
worked most closely with the Downtown Parking Plan - that the program is
an unqualified success. It enjoys adamant support from a majority of
the affected businesses; for all practical purposes, it has achieved
• its goal of providing free, immediate, and easily accessible parking for
the benefit of both the businesses of downtown Stillwater and their
. patrons.
