MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
This Memorandum of Understanding sets forth certain background matters and understandings with
regard to a proposal to provide metropolitan sewer service by the Metropolitan Council to a portion of
Spring Lake Township through a €onnection with the City of Prior Lake trunk sewer system.
BACKGROUND
1. The City of Prior Lake ("Prior Lake") and Spring Lake Township ("Spring Lake") are
located adjacent to each other in Scott County. Prior Lake owns and operates a local trunk
sewer system which receives metropolitan sewer service from the Metropolitan Council (the
"Council") .
2. An area of Spring Lake referred to in this document as the South Shore Drive Area has a
number of failing residential septic systems in residences adjacent to Spring Lake. These
systems are contributing to environmental degradation of Spring Lake and upper and lower
Prior Lake. For the purposes of this Memorandum of Understanding the "South Shore Drive
Area" is that area shown on Exhibit A attached hereto and made <4>art hereof.
.-
3. The South Shore Drive Area is currently not located within the Metropolitan Urban Service
Area ("MUSA") and is, therefore, not currently eligible for metropolitan sewer service from
the Council. However, the Council's Water Resources Management Plan provides for
extension of metropolitan sewer service to the rural areas in certain exceptional cases where
four criteria are met and when approved by the Council through amendment of the
comprehensive sewer plan of the local governmental unit in which the problem exists.
4. In order to alleviate the environmental problems in the South Shore Drive Area, Spring Lake
is desirous of obtaining metropolitan sewer service in that area from the Council by way of a
connection into the Prior Lake local trunk sewer system.
5. In order to alleviate the environmental problems in the South Shore Drive Area, Prior Lake is
willing to enter into an agreement with Spring Lake to provide metropolitan sewer service by
way of a connection through its local trunk sewer system under certain terms and conditions
in such an agreement and upon certain other understandings.
Based on the above background, the following are the understanding of the Council and Prior Lake
regarding this matter:
1. In accordance with current law and Council policies and procedures, metropolitan sewer
service will not be provided to the South Shore Drive Area unless and until a comprehensive
sewer plan amendment which meets the requirements of Paragraph 2 below of this
Memorandum of Understanding is submitted to, and approved by the Council.
2. The Council understands that the agreement between Prior Lake and Spring Lake for
metropolita."1 ::;e',T/er ser..ice fo: t.~e Sc~t.~ Sho:-e D:-ive Area by a cor.:lect:.on into the Prior
Lake local trunk sewer system is for the sole purpose of alleviating the environmental
problems referred to in Background, Paragraph 2 of this Memorandum of Understanding and
will limit such service to an area outlined and shown on the attached map as the South Shore
Drive Area and the remainder of Granger's Crest and to residences located within that area as
outlined and shown on the attached map. The agreement will also provide that the residential
connections into the metropolitan sewer system through the Prior Lake local trunk sewer
system will be limited to a maximum of 80 connections within the area outlined and. shown
on the attached map as the South Shore Drive Area and the remainder of Granger's Crest.
3. Under current Council policy and procedures, the provision of metropolitan sewer service to
the South Shore Drive Area as an exception for environmental reasons does not result in an
extension of the MUSA boundary into Spring Lake and such action will not be considered to
place such land within the MUSA.
4. The provision of metropolitan sewer service to the South Shore Drive Area is an exception
for environmental reasons and will not have the effect of removing any land area from, or
modifying the location of any land area within, the current MUSA boundaries within Prior
Lake.
5. The provision of metropolitan sewer service to the South Shore Drive Area through the Prior
Lake local trunk sewer system and at the capacity described above is expected to have no
effect on the capacity to provide wastewater treatment service to the MUSA within Prior
Lake.
6. The Council will bill Spring.Lake directly for SAC charges rather-than having such billing be
done through Prior Lake.
7. Nothing in this document is intended to modify or limit the exercise of, any statutory
authority or obligations of the Councilor Prior Lake.
