SUBJECT:Wakefield Lake Water Quality Study Public Meeting
DATE:March 12, 2014 for the March 17City Council Meeting
In 2002 Wakefield Lake was listed as having impaired water quality, with high levels of phosphorus
above the State of Minnesota water quality standards. Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District
(RWMWD) has been working with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to perform a Total Maximum
Daily Load (TMDL) study of Wakefield Lake to understand what has been causing the problems with
water quality.As part of the study, the District has also been identifying potential opportunities to
improve the lake's water quality to meet the state standards.
On Monday, March 17 from 6:30 to 8 p.m., prior to the regular Environmental and Natural Resources
Commission meeting, the community is invited to attend a public meeting to hear the results of the
water quality study and learn about potential water quality improvement opportunities in Wakefield Lake
and its surrounding sub-watershed. During the meeting the RWMWD and Barr Engineering will give a
presentation on the results of the study and have a discussion with the public and the Commission on
ways to reduce impacts to Wakefield Lake.

last three yearssince they have taken over the City’s recycling contract.They
expect this to continue to improve, especially with the roll out of recycling carts in
March.
The Commission gave commentsandasked questions of staff and Tennis Sanitation on
the recycling report and work plan as follows:
It would be beneficial if the font on the tables were increased to make it easier to read.
Is Styrofoamconsidered a residual?
Willie Tennis indicated that it currently is considered a residual as there is
o
no market for recycled Styrofoam.
There seems to be a lack of recycling in many neighborhoods, especially rental units.
Thisseems to suggest a lack of education to tenants to make themaware ofwhat can
and can’t be recycled.
The Commission is looking forward to a tour of Tennis’facility. It is also a good idea
to have the tour videotapedfor a future Spotlight on Maplewood cable television show.
The Commission stated thatthe items outlined in the work plan, including cart
distribution, non-or low-participating education, business and church recycling opt in,
and recycling education were good goals to achieve in 2014.

City of Maplewood and Allied Waste/Republic Services
2013 Annual Report
Allied Waste/RepublicServices began residential trash and yard waste service in Maplewood on
October 1, 2012. We believe that the City and its citizens are happy with the service under this
agreement and are pleased to present the 2013 annual report which summariz
improve upon the service.
Public education tools/enhancements: The annual Trash and Yard Waste Service Guide was
updated for 2014. We printed and mailed the Guide to all residents eligible for trash servicein
early 2014.

Routing improvements: We have done a great deal of work in 2013 to make sure that
Maplewood trash and yard waste service runs as efficient as possible. We began this effort in
October of 2012, and refined it in early 2013. Here are the statistics that help tel
1)We reduced the total number of trashcollection route days from 13.5 route days to 11
(for example, 12 route days a week would mean that 3 drivers weach work 4 days a
week in Maplewood).
2)Because of this added efficiency, our trash service trucks operate 20 fewer hours per week
in Maplewood---or 1,040 fewer hours per year. This time savings equals about 4,160
gallons of fuel per year (based on using about 4 gallons per hour).
3)We have been able to move yard waste collection to a more automated process with the
use of carts. This has improved our efficiency significantly. At the start of
the 2013 yardwaste seasonin Aprilwe ran one 5-day-a-week
yardwaste collection route. By the end of 2013, we hadreduced
that to a ½ route per day. At the same time, yard waste
customers increased by 200 over this first year.
Cumulatively for yard waste service we are in Maplewood about
8-10 fewer hours a week during yard waste season, saving about
1,000 gallons of fuel over the full yard waste season.

Education tags: Allied Waste/Republic Services continues to distribute trash collection
education when necessary.

Fall Clean Up Campaign: Allied Waste/Republic Services assisted the City with its first
Fall Clean Up Campaign which was held the second and third weeks
approach to City-wide bulky item collection, which included half-price bulky item curbside
collection. The Campaign also included an educational component
reducing, reusing, and recycling thatwerepublished in the fall edition of Seasons. The event
was a success with 309properties participating, exceeding participation rates of previous spring
and fall clean up events. A total of 25.40 tons of bulky items were collected including
appliances, electronics, mattresses, old furniture, and carpet. ar End Trash

Survey: The 2013 Work Plan included a survey to gauge residents feelings towards the Citys
organized trash service. Allied Waste/Republic Services has created a draft of the survey

Trash and Yard Waste Data: 2013 was the first full year of data collection for the Citys
residential trash program. This data is included on the attache
and contains information on the amount of municipal solid waste, yard waste, and bulky items
collected throughout the year as well as the number of households and sizes of carts
participating in the Citys trash and yard waste program. Moving forward this data can be used
to compare the amount of trash and yard waste collected from year to year, which is helpful in
determining if the City and Contractors waste reduction educatiworking.
Waste collected through the Citys trash service is brought to the Resource Recovery Facility in
Newport. There it is sorted to capture materials that can be recycled. The remaining
is created into resource derived fuelwhich is used to create energy. In 2013 Allied
Waste/Republic Services collected 8,007.18 tons of municipal solid waste from Maplewood
residential properties. According to Xcel Energy and Ramsey County data, this amount of waste
converts to the equivalent of generating enough electricity for around 40
In 2013 Allied Waste/Republic Services also collected 600.88 tons of yard wasteand 28.80 tons
of bulky items duringthe regular bulky item pick up, and an additional 25.40 tons of bulky items
during the Citys Fall Clean Up Campaign.
