JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT WITH VERMILLION RIVER WATERSHED
JOINT POWERS ORGANIZATION FOR
205TH STREET CHANNEL STABILIZATION IMPROVEMENTS
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve Joint Powers Agreement
with Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization for 205th Street Channel
Stabilization Improvements.
Overview
The City and Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization (VRWJPO) are partnering
to reconstruct an existing storm water channel that is experiencing progressively eroding stream
bank failures. The channel is located north of 205th Street, between Jupiter Way and Kensington
Way, and is directly tributary to Lake Marion. The City partnered with the VRWJPO and
Dakota Soil & Water Conservation District in 2009 to complete a similar project (Phase 1) along
the upstream portion of the channel. Proposed Phase 2 improvements include channel
reconstruction to restore channel function and stability and improve water quality to Lake
Marion. The City is the lead agency for the project. Construction is programmed for 2017. The
Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) establishes City and VRWJPO project responsibilities and cost
participation. The Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Board previously authorized
execution of a JPA with the City.
Primary Issues to Consider
• The City is responsible for 100% of the project costs, but VRWJPO will reimburse the
City up to $100,000 for construction costs. The estimated total project cost is $269,745.
The City’s funding source is the Utility Fund - Environmental Resources.

SHEET INDEX
IMPAIRED WATERS, SPECIAL WATERS, AND WETLANDSThis Project is not located within 1 mile of a special water.This Project is located within 1 mile of an impaired water (see figure above): Lake Marion impaired for Hg-FBecause of the proximity of the project to an impaired water during construction allexposed soil areas must be stabilized as soon as possible to limit soil erosion but in nocase later than 7 days after the construction activity in that portion of the site hastemporarily or permanently ceased.Site disturbance will be kept outside of the wetland buffer so this Project will not impactwetlands.EROSION CONTROL ESTIMATED QUANTITIESPollution Prevention MeasuresSolid WasteSolid waste, including but not limited to, collected asphalt andconcrete millings, floating debris, paper, plastic, fabric,construction and demolition debris and other waste must bedisposed of properly and must comply with MPCA disposalrequirements.Hazardous MaterialsHazardous materials, including but not limited to oil, gasoline,paint and any hazardous substance must be properly storedincluding secondary containments, to prevent spills, leaks orother discharge. Restricted access to storage areas must beprovided to prevent vandalism. Storage and disposal ofhazardous waste must be in compliance with MCPA regulations.Washing of Construction VehiclesExternal washing of trucks and other construction vehicles mustbe limited to a defined area of the site. Runoff must be containedand waste properly disposed of. No engine degreasing is allowedon site. Concrete Washout AreaThe contractor shall use means to ensure turbid discharge fromconcrete washout is contained and not released to surfacewaters. Concrete washout shall be offsite.AmendmentsAmend the SWPPP as necessary to address any changes indesign, construction, operation, maintenance, weather orseasonal conditions that have a significant effect on discharge ofpollutants to surface or underground waters; or to addressconcerns identified during inspections or investigations byOWNER, USEPA or MPCA.Record RetentionThe SWPPP, all changes to it, and inspection and maintenancerecords must be kept on-site during construction. The OWNERmust retain a copy of the SWPPP along with the following recordsfor three (3) years after submittal of the Notice of Termination. 1. Any other permits required for the project;2. Records of all inspection and maintenance conducted duringconstruction;3. All permanent operations and maintenance agreements thathave been implemented, including all right of way, contract,covenants and other binding requirements regarding perpetualmaintenance;4. All required calculations for design of the temporary andpermanent stormwater management systems.InspectionsThe inspection log will be completed by the CONTRACTOR forthe construction site. Inspections at the site will be completed asfollows: Once every seven (7) days during active construction and, Within 24 hours after a rainfall event greater than 0.5 inches in24 hours.The individual performing inspections must be trained as requiredby part IV.E of the Permit. CONTRACTOR to provide OWNERwith proof of training. Inspections must include stabilized areas,erosion prevention and sediment control BMPs, and infiltrationareas. Corrective actions must be identified and date of correctionmust be noted as identified in Section IV.E. of the Permit.Construction Dates: February 2017 --XO\ 2017Party Responsible for Long Term Operation and Maintenance of the Site-OWNERCity of Lakeville Mac Cafferty, Environmental Resources Manager20195 Holyoke Avenue (952) 985-4528Lakeville, MN 55044 mcafferty@lakevillemn.govParty Responsible for Implementation of the SWPPP - CONTRACTOR(TBD)Surface Area TabulationProject DescriptionThis project consists of the stabilization of a drainage channel that dischargesto Lake Marion. The project is located north of 205th Street, north of JupiterWay and east of Kensington Way. Construction activities will include regradingthe channel, construction of riprap toes and cascades, and selective treeremoval to open up the canopy and allow vegetation to establish. Constructionactivity is occurring within the normal wetted perimeter of a stream that is partof a larger watershed, so this project poses a risk to water resources and willrequire a construction stormwater permit.DewateringTurbid or sediment-laden water must be treated with the appropriate BMPs,such that discharge does not adversely affect the receiving water. Ensure thatdischarge points are adequately protected from erosion and scour. CONTRACTOR responsible to develop and submit dewatering plan toengineer, secure any required permits, and comply with permits.EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL PRACTICESAll exposed soil areas must have temporary erosion protection (erosioncontrol blanket, seed) as soon as possible or within 7 days after theconstruction activity in that portion of the site has temporarily or permanentlyceased.CONTRACTOR shall implement appropriate construction phasing,vegetative buffer strips, horizontal slope grading, and other constructionpractices that minimize erosion when practical. The normal wetted perimeterof any temporary or permanent drainage ditch that drains water from aconstruction site, or diverts water around a site, must be stabilized within200 lineal feet from the property edge, or from the point of discharge to anysurface water. Stabilization must be completed within 24 hours ofconnecting to a surface water. Pipe outlets must be provided with temporaryor permanent energy dissipation within 24 hours of connection to a surfacewater.The following measures will be taken as sediment control practices in orderto minimize sediments from entering surface waters:1. Installation of flotation silt curtain downstream of bank reslopingoperations prior to site disturbance. Flotation silt curtain shall be installed asshown on Sheet D-101 and shall be maintained and relocated as operationsof bank sloping progress. Flotation silt curtain shall not be relocated untilcurrent site is stabilized.2. Construction of rock construction entrance as shown on Sheet D-101.Rock construction entrance shall be located at the entrance to the accessroute as shown on Sheet EC-102 to prevent tracking of sediment offsite.Street sweeping of tracked sediment shall be performed as required.3. Installation of perimeter silt fence in the locations shown on SheetEC-102 prior to site disturbance. Silt fence shall be installed as shown onSheet D-101.4. Installation of inlet protection devices in the locations shown on SheetEC-102 prior to site disturbance. Inlet protection shall be installed as shownon Sheet D-101.CERTIFICATIONIn accordance with Part III.A.2 of the General PermitAuthorization to Discharge Stormwater Associated withConstruction Activity under the NPDES, the preparer ofthis document was trained under the University ofMinnesota Erosion and Sediment Control CertificationProgram.
