District 13
Capital Program & Projects
District 13 includes, in Ramsey County, the cities of Little Canada, North St. Paul, the portions of the City of Maplewood north of I-94, and the portions of the City of Saint Paul south of the Mississippi River and east of Edgerton Street; and in Washington County, the cities of Landfall and Oakdale.
Capacity and condition assessments are being conducted along with regulatory reviews to identify system-wide lift station upgrades. These upgrades extend the life of facilities, reduce the risk of spills, and improve the safety of staff who operate and maintain lift stations.
This program provides funding to upgrade Environmental Services' ability to measure flows for billing, operational, and planning purposes and standardize meter equipment at similar facilities. Meter improvements include meter rehabilitation or replacement, planning meter installation, and new meter installation.
This program provides funding for planning and implementation of a plant-wide renewal program at the Metropolitan Water Resource Recovery Facility (Metro WRRF). Planning work is documented in the Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment Plant Rehabilitation and Facilities Improvements Facility Plan (February 2009).
This program provides funding for planning and implementation of improvements to wastewater solids processing facilities at the Metropolitan Water Resource Recovery Facility (Metro WRRF). Planning work is documented in the Metro Plant Solids Management Improvements Facility Plan (January 2019). The facility plan, which includes the addition of a fourth incinerator followed by renewal of the three existing incinerators, did not qualify for PFA funding. (The project to renew the existing three incinerators is relocated to Program 8103 Metro WRRF Restoration and Improvements.)
This program provides funding to complete planning activities and near-term capital improvements (not otherwise included in a separate program) at 8 regional Water Resource Recovery Facilities (WRRF).
The interceptor systems in Blaine, Brooklyn Park, Champlin, Circle Pines, Coon Rapids, Forest Lake, Fridley, Hugo, Lexington, Lino Lakes, Maple Grove, Mounds View, Spring Lake Park, and other north area communities need rehabilitation and/or replacement. The project will rehabilitate existing interceptor facilities, including gravity sewers, forcemains, lift stations and meter stations.
The interceptors located in Saint Paul, Maplewood, Roseville, New Brighton, Shoreview, and Vadnais Heights need rehabilitation and/or replacement due to age and deterioration. The project will rehabilitate existing interceptor facilities to ensure reliable service.
This program provides funding for planning and implementation of projects to continue renewal for liquids processing and plant-wide systems at the Metropolitan Water Resource Recovery Facility (Metro WRRF), which was initiated under Program 8059 Metro Rehabilitation and Facilities Improvements. Planning work is documented in the Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment Plant Asset Renewal Facility Plan (December 2015).
This program includes miscellaneous projects to rehabilitate failing facilities, address inflow and infiltration (I/I) sources, and address general needs of the interceptor system not programmed into a region- or facility-specific program. This program also includes additional condition assessment work to complement the internal inspections work completed by Operations, odor control improvements, city coordination for street improvement projects, and office space planning and design to accommodate all staff assigned to the Regional Maintenance Facility.
This program provides funding for planning activities needed to support the Council’s overall water reuse initiative, which includes treating stormwater and treatment facility effluent for specific reuse applications.
This program provides funding for planning and implementation of projects to address renewal and future permit needs at the Metropolitan Water Resource Recovery Facility (Metro WRRF). The renewal work continues the previous program 8089 Metro WRRF Asset Renewal and includes renewal of Fluidized Bed Reactors (FBRs) 1-3, which has been moved from program 8602 Metro WRRF Solids Improvements to apply for PFA funding approval under this program 8103.
