RE: Ambient Groundwater Quality Monitoring
Background /Discussion
Groundwater provides drinking water to approximately 75% of Minnesotans and contributes water to
streams, rivers, lakes, and wetlands. One agency that monitors the quality of the groundwater is the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA).
The MPCA received funds from the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment to enhance ambient
groundwater monitoring. Groundwater monitoring enables review of the general quality of the
groundwater and helps to assess if it is getting better, worse or is unchanging. The monitoring also
helps to address and identify potential emerging chemicals or contaminants that may affect water
supply aquifers in the future.
The ambient groundwater network is comprised of shallow wells in the surficial sand and gravel
aquifers, approximately 20 to 25 feet in depth. The shallow wells are not where drinking water is
pumped from, but depths where early detection can be made before reaching deeper aquifers. The
shallow wells are sampled 2 -3 times per year.
The MPCA has proposed 7 sites within Cottage Grove to have these shallow ambient groundwater
sites established.
1. Stormwater pond between Hinton Avenue and Homestead Lane (Pinecliff 2 °
2. Hemingway Park
3. Old Cottage Grove Park
4. Cottage Grove Trail Corridor /Kingston Park
5. Stormwater pond /open space between Hinton Avenue and Hyde Avenue
n. Meadow Grass Park (trail /open space) on east side of Meadow Grass Avenue
7. 74 Street/Red Pine (open space) west of Hardwood
All of the sites are within parks or public right -of -way. The sites were selected based upon the
geological characteristics and proximity to areas that have private septic systems and those that are
connected to municipal sewer. Staff has reviewed the sites and approves of the installation of the
wells. The well drilling will take only a few hours and creates very little disturbance. The wells do not
require power, and access for sampling is via a person with a backpack pump. The above ground
feature of the well will be a stand pipe projecting approximately 24" out of the ground with a cover and
locking cap for security. The data collected from the wells will be available on -line through the MPCA's
Environmental Data Access system.
Page 2 of 2
The MPCA presented the details of the program and how this research will protect water supply efforts,
identify threats to groundwater quality and develop best management practices to avoid future
groundwater impacts to the Environmental Commission on September 8, 2010. The Environmental
Commission supported the research efforts of the MPCA in ambient groundwater monitoring through
the installation of shallow wells within the community.
Recommendation
It is recommended to approve the MPCA Property Access Agreements with the City of Cottage Grove
for Property IDs 0502721140005, 1702721110097, 1202721320016, 1002721230001,
0802721140001, 0702721110007, and 0802721220009.
MPCA PROPERTY ACCESS AGREEMENT WITH
The City of Cottage Grove
(Property Owner)
1. Purpose of Agreement. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) is enhancing its ambient
groundwater monitoring network in Minnesota. The attached fact sheet describes this groundwater monitoring
network ( "network "), which will help provide information about the quality of Minnesota's groundwater and
identify trends in water quality. The MPCA is assessing groundwater in this region. As part of the groundwater
assessment, the MPCA is installing wells to obtain water samples for analysis.
2. Parties. This agreement is between the MPCA and The City of Cottage Grove (the "Property Owner "), who
owns property located at Property ID 0502721140005 (the "Property") where the MPCA would like to install a
monitoring well. The MPCA is authorized to enter any property, public and private, for the purpose of
conducting surveys under Minn. Star. §§ 115.04, subd. 3.
3.-Consent-to access. The "Property Owner" hereby consents to participation in the network and authorizes the
MPCA, its employees and agents, to enter the Property for the purpose of:
1) installing a permanent groundwater monitoring well at the location shown on attachment 1; and
2) collecting groundwater samples from the monitoring well according to the schedule set forth below.
4. Notice. The MPCA will notify the Property Owner of the name of the environmental consulting firm that will
be managing the monitoring well installation at least two weeks before the installation.
5. Location of well. The MPCA's consultant will coordinate the monitoring well installation with the Property
Owner to ensure that a mutually agreeable location on the Property is identified.
5. Permits, required actions. The MPCA will be responsible for obtaining all permits and providing notices to
utilities related to the installation. The MPCA's consultant will coordinate all contractors involved in
installation, including locating all utilities prior to well installation and completing all Minnesota Department of
Health permits required to install the well.
6. Well installation. The Property Owner understands and agrees that the well installation will require three
separate site visits. All buried utilities will be located during the first site visit. This will take approximately 1 -2
hours to complete and will be done prior to the well installation. The well will be drilled during second site visit,
which will take approximately one working day to complete. The well will be prepared for water sample
collection during the final site visit. These preparations involve pumping water from the well and monitoring its
quality. These activities will take one -half day to complete and will be performed no sooner than 24 hours after
well installation.
7. Sampling; notice of sampling. After installation, the MPCA will sample the monitoring well once a year.
Sampling will involve pumping water from the well, collecting field measurements of the water, and collecting
samples for later laboratory analysis. Sampling will take between 1 to 2 hours to complete. The MPCA or its
consultant will notify the Property Owner at least 48 hours before entering the Property for the purpose of well
installation or sampling.
8. Hours of work. All work under this access agreement will be conducted during regular business hours (8:00
AM to 5:00 PM) unless the MPCA or its consultant receives written permission by the owner or his /her agent to
conduct work during different hours.
9. Disturbance of property. The well installation and sampling will be performed by the MPCA in a manner
which minimizes interference with the Property Owner's use of the Property. If the MPCA's activities disturb
any portion of the Property, the MPCA will restore the property to as close to its original condition as is
reasonably possible under the circumstances.
10. Property Owner responsibilities. The Property Owner agrees to take reasonable precautions to insure that the
equipment of the MPCA or its agents that is located on the Property, and any monitoring wells that are located on
the Property, are not damaged and that the work being conducted by the MPCA, its employees and agents is not
disrupted.
11. Sampling results. Upon request, the MPCA shall provide copies of the results of all sampling conducted on
the Property to the Property Owner after test validations. The data collected from the monitoring well on the
Property will be public information.
12. Liability. The MPCA will be liable for injury to or loss of property or personal injury or death caused by any
act or omission of any employee of the State of Minnesota in the performance of the work described above, under
circumstances where the State of Minnesota, if a private person, would be liable to the claimant, in accordance
with Minn. Stat. § 3.736.
13. Termination. This monitoring well is part of a network designed to provide long -term information about
Minnesota's groundwater quality. It is the MPCA's intention to maintain this monitoring well and to monitor it
indefinitely. This agreement, however, can be terminated by either party (MPCA or Property Owner) with 60 days
written notice to the other party. The Property Owner understands that, should either party decide to terminate this
agreement, state law requires proper closure of the well. The MPCA will be responsible for all costs and
activities associated with closure of the monitoring well. The Property Owner agrees and understands that, to
close the well, it will be necessary to provide access to the MPCA for the purpose of well closure, and the
Property Owner hereby agrees to provide that access, conditioned only on 48 hours written notice.
14. Sale of Property. If the Property Owner sells the Property, the Property Owner agrees that it shall notify the
buyer of this access agreement and provide the MPCA with notice and an opportunity to reach agreement with the
buyer under which continued access for sampling will be allowed.
