Subsequent to the MPCA's determination on its approval of the proposed SWPPP modifications, we will prepare and submit responses to MPCA and public comments, as necessary. Our fee estimate assumes six comments of moderate complexity will be received and that each of these will require a written response. We have allocated $1,500 of budget for reviewing these comments and writing these responses. If the submitted comments are less or greater in number or complexity, the budget for this task will be adjusted downward or upward as appropriate. The allowance will be discussed before proceeding with the responses. This is customary practice in situations where the number and complexity of review comments cannot be anticipated at the beginning of the project. SUPPLEMENTAL TASK 5: RESTRICTED DISCHARGE WATER PLAN The Mississippi River from the County State Aid Highway 7 Bridge in St. Cloud to the city limits of Anoka was designated as a scenic and recreational river in 1976, per Minnesota Rule 6105.0800. The segment that borders Elk River is a recreational river. The City of Elk River may have received a letter from the MPCA regarding its review of the City's application and BMP summary sheets for coverage under the MS4 Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit. This letter may have indicated the need to perform an assessment as described in Appendix C of the MS4 Permit. Supplemental Task 5 is not included in our current fee estimate. This task would involve creating the Restricted Discharge Water Plan for Elk River's discharges to the Mississippi. A Restricted Water Discharge Plan entails the following: . A pollutant loading assessment in the 1988, current, and 2020 conditions . A restricted discharge water plan that proposes measures to restrict discharges to the extent necessary to preserve the ORVW characteristics . Proposed changes to the City's SWPPP to incorporate the findings of the ~ssessment in the City's MS4 permit All the work of the first item listed above will be completed as part of the Nondegradation Reporting Loading Assessment. The work of the second and third items listed above is similar in scope and content to what the Nondegradation Reporting will provide. We recommend that the Restricted Discharge Water Plan be a separate document with a separate public notice period. The work associated with this supplemental task is one of organizing the Loading Assessment and Nondegradation Plan materials into a form that addresses the specific drainage to the Mississippi River and the influence pollutants might have on the Mississippi River's recreational designation. # Bonestroo 10
