The Fergus Falls Public Library and local community education programs are great venues for hosting educational events the member may want to organize, as well as potential event partners. Our relationship with Pope/Douglas Solid Waste Management gives us a viable option for future organics collections programs, and they are a resource for learning about development of an organics management program. Organizational capacity and commitment Please respond to the following questions about your organization: 1. In one paragraph, describe your organization’s mission. Include a description of the community your organization serves, qualifications of your staff, the number of paid staff, and experience (if any) with hosting AmeriCorps members: The Otter Tail County Solid Waste Department's mission is to provide cost effective environmentally conservative services to our residents through County operated recycling facilities, household hazardous waste management programs, transfer stations, landfills or contracted resource recovery facilities according to Otter Tail County's Solid Waste Management Plan and Minnesota's Solid Waste Hierarchy. To educate the residents of Otter Tail County and provide information regarding solid waste reduction and disposal, recycling, and household hazardous waste management and disposal. Otter Tail County is a large rural county with a population of 57,600, with many smaller towns spread over a large geographical area. The Solid Waste Department has 34 employees in a range of positions, and serves 21 communities. The two largest communities have established single-sort recycling programs in place as the result of a 2017 EA grant, and the rest of the county has access to drop-off recycling sites. The department director is an engineer with over 20 years of experience in a variety of organizations, and other staff members have qualifications in business, education, environmental science and sustainable agriculture, data management, community organizing, and landfill operations. The department hosted a GreenCorps member for the 2017/2018 service year, primarily focused on implementation of single-sort recycling. 2. Describe how your organization’s current efforts and activities reflect the commitment and expertise you can provide to support a MN GreenCorps member. Include examples as appropriate: We have a dynamic leadership team with diverse backgrounds that would add value to the member's experience, and the department has recently completed a grant to transition our two largest communities to curbside single sort recycling, with the goal of implementing single sort county-wide in the future.The department is currently in the process of increasing participation in event recycling through the purchase and promotion of an events recycling trailer and mobile education kit, which can be used by the member to help promote recycling to county residents. We have a full time staff member focused on public education and outreach who will share educational, social media, and outreach resources and experiences with the member, and will involve the member in planning and implementing communications with the public including school visits, radio interviews and advertising, public presentations and event planning. This staff member also actively seeks out partnerships with other community organizations to more effectively engage the public on waste prevention topics. Recent partnerships include 4-H and Girl Scouts/Boy Scouts, Safe Roads Coalition and Springboard for the Arts, and potential developing/future partnerships include Salvation Army after school and summer programs, Master Gardeners, and the local Soil and Water Conservation District. We are also working to transition towards a zero-waste workplace with projects such as establishing a break room compost bucket and outside bin, phasing out single use items in the break room, and collecting our foil chocolate wrappers for recycling. 3. AmeriCorps members cannot displace or replace previously employed, striking, or laid off workers. Please clarify how this position is not a staff position (see the Non-displacement policy under Section VI of the Host site application guide): https://www.pca.state.mn.us • 651-296-6300 • 800-657-3864 • Use your preferred relay service • Available in alternative formats p-mgc2-02 • 2/6/19 Page 5 of 7 This position will not replace or displace any employee, and will not have any impact on hiring practices of the Solid Waste Department.

I will have over one year of experience in current position when the member begins service. 5. MN GreenCorps is a program that offers individuals professional, educational, and civic growth, particularly in the environmental field. Potential members may not bring highly specialized skills to their position. Describe how you will support the member in terms of on-site training, professional development, staff support and expertise, etc.: The member can participate in any professional development opportunities that other members in the department are involved in, with the potential for other opportunities based on interest and availability and approval from the Solid Waste director. Members will participate in monthly staff meetings and applicable committees, will meet local officials and community leaders involved in sustainability initiatives, and will receive mentorship in effective teaching and presentation skills. Additional training in using design or presentation software, or other applicable software such as Excel will be made available. The member will be exposed to a range of experiences in a supportive and dynamic work environment. 6. What financial and/or material resources will your organization make available for MN GreenCorps member(s) projects and activities, should these be needed? MN GreenCorps members receive a minimal training budget from the MPCA to utilize throughout their service. We do encourage host sites to assist with providing training opportunities or funding for their member to attend trainings, conferences, etc. throughout the service year. The member will have access to a portion of the Public Information and Education budget to cover any outreach activities the member is coordinating, as well as access to advertising outlets such as radio and print. All technological supplies such as a computer, printer, copies, phone, etc. will be provided by Otter Tail County. Transportation to meetings, events and trainings will be provided through the use of a County vehicle.

Please keep in mind that some members may not have access to a personal vehicle and some https://www.pca.state.mn.us • 651-296-6300 • 800-657-3864 • Use your preferred relay service • Available in alternative formats p-mgc2-02 • 2/6/19 Page 6 of 7 members may not be eligible to drive as a part of the program. If you indicate that driving is required, you may limit the number of members eligible for your site. A. Is the member required to drive in order to access or complete service activities? Yes, and the host site will reimburse mileage (if the use of a personal vehicle is necessary). Yes, and the host site will provide access to an organizational vehicle. No, public transit, ride shares, and/or bicycle are sufficient for any travel. B. Will your organization make an organizational vehicle available to the member for service-related activities? Please note, the members will be covered under the MPCA Commercial General Liability and Commercial Automobile Liability insurance policies as volunteers. If the members are using vehicles belonging to the Host Site organization to conduct business on behalf of the Minnesota GreenCorps Program, the Host Site’s insurance is primary. Any other insurance that may be available would only respond after the organization’s insurance is exhausted. Yes No Sustainability 1. How do you see this work continuing after the MN GreenCorps member completes their service? Methods developed by the member to collect information on our recycling streams will continue to be used to inform efficient operations and decision making, including a possible expansion of the single-sort recycling program. Educational materials and displays created by the member will continue to be used to promote composting, and information gathered about food waste generation in Otter Tail County will be used to plan further food waste diversion efforts, such as a potential commercial organics collection pilot. 2. How does this project fit into your organization’s long-term goals? Increasing recycling and diversion from landfilling is a current and future goal of the Otter Tail County Solid Waste Department. The department is interested in developing the capacity for a commercial organics pilot, and is evaluating the feasability of a transition to a county-wide single-sort recycling program, which would decrease the amount of recyclables sent to landfill and increase our diversion rate. More effective methods to evaluate our current recycling programs will be critical for making data-driven decisions about our recycling operations. Data from both projects will be used in the Otter Tail County Solid Waste Master Plan. Current or past host sites only Review Section VII of the Host site application guide with updated considerations for current or past host site applicants. 1. Identify the program year you participated in, focus area, and the number of members hosted: The department was a host site for one member in 2017-2018 for the Waste Prevention and Recycling Position. 2. Describe evidence of the effectiveness of your current or past member projects, including environmental results, and how you will build on these results if awarded another member: The 2017-2018 member helped to successfully implement the switch to single-sort recycling in our two largest communities, and arranged for the delivery of recycling bins to approximately 80 multi-unit residences in those communities. 3. Describe how this proposed member position is unique from past member positions at your organization: The proposed member position will focus primarily on food waste and composting outreach, and trends in food waste generation and prevention, a topic that wasn't a large part of the past member position. In addition, the proposed member position would involve the development of methods to measure and analyze current recycling operations, which will be used to improve and expand recycling programs. 4. Describe any improvements you plan to make in terms of project oversight, member supervision, implementation, and results: As several staff members have been hired since the past member was here, some staff, including the supervisor don't have direct experience with hosting a GreenCorps member. However, we have received valuable feedback from the past supervisor who has since moved on to a different department. Based on this feedback, we will provide a positive and responsive work environment and consistent and timely feedback to keep the member engaged and on track. We value the support and structure that the MPCA provides for both members and host sites - we recognize the importance this plays in the success of the member/host site relationship. https://www.pca.state.mn.us • 651-296-6300 • 800-657-3864 • Use your preferred relay service • Available in alternative formats p-mgc2-02 • 2/6/19 Page 7 of 7 III.

Respectfully Summitted Spencer McGrew Recording Secretary BUDKE EXCAVATING & SEPTICS PLUS+ LLC. 32873 Whispering Springs Loop Erhard MN 56534 Business (218) 739-0657 Cell (218) 731-6282 CREDENTIALS ````````````````````````` State Bond No#14964591 MPCA REG# 8481 Individual Sewage Treatment Systems # L3069 Pipe layers certificate #2009-5704 This letter is in reference to the proposed ordinance. First and foremost we feel that no changes should take affect for this building season with us being two months away from the start For instance we have 8 committed systems on the books for spring and ten more out on bids. (And that is just our company). These where bid off the existing rules and a lot of these are new builds which have plugged these numbers into their bank loans and or budgets. A couple of things we really need to think about in this ordinance are: 1. As far as adding additional tank sizing and / or additional tanks. Why are we not taking the advice of the University Of Minnesota and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. Why do we feel that they are not doing their job with properly sizing of tanks in the State and we need to go above and beyond there guidelines? 2. With the way in which we read soils and call the limiting layer as of recent years about 95% of the systems are above ground we install. Which puts most of the system at around $ 10,000- 12,000 … And with will this extra tank sizing it will add an extra $1,500 in some cases to an already very expensive system. 3. Space is always a big concern / challenge on some of these earlier plotted small lake lots. With most system being mounds there is not extra room for more tanks in some cases. The rule change of the installation of chambers in sandy soil seems not necessary and a waste of money / resources. 1. In some cases if you are using high capacity chambers with the new rule wanting us to break the drain-field up into 8 parts there will be almost as many end caps as there will be chambers. The way in which it has been done breaking it into 4 parts for the past years has proven to work very well. Not sure where we are at on the talk on having an additional separate inspection done after we rough up the soil to build a mound on. But this seems like it would be a major hold up for the contractors and a lot of extra time & money spent by the county. One last thought is as the trend in the USA and Ottertail County is to go “ Green “we need to look at what things are over the top and a waste of resources I feel. Thank you, Cory Budke OTTER TAIL COUNTY, MN NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING AND INTENT TO ADOPT THE SANITATION CODE FOR SUBSURFACE SEWAGE TREATMENT SYSTEM NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN pursuant to the provisions of Minnesota Statutes 375.51 Subdivision 2, that the Otter Tail County Board of Commissioners intends to adopt the “Sanitation Code for Subsurface Sewage Treatment Systems”.

Allowable supporting documentation includes tank integrity assessments made within the past three 1183 years and prior soil separation assessments. 1184 1) A tank integrity and safety compliance assessment must be completed by a licensed SSTS inspection, 1185 maintenance, installation, or service provider business or a qualified employee inspector with 1186 jurisdiction. An existing compliant tank integrity and safety compliance assessment is valid for three 1187 years unless a new evaluation is requested by the owner or owner's agent or is required according to 1188 local regulations. 1189 2) A soil separation compliance assessment must be completed by a licensed inspection business or a 1190 qualified employee inspector with jurisdiction. Compliance must be determined either by conducting 1191 new soil borings or by prior soil separation documentation made by two independent parties. The soil 1192 borings used for system design or previous inspections are allowed to be used. If the soil separation 1193 has been determined by two independent parties, a subsequent determination is not required unless 1194 requested by the owner or owner's agent or required according to local regulations. 1195 3) Determination of hydraulic performance and other compliance in Section 4, Subp. 3 (A) must be 1196 completed by either a licensed inspection business or a qualified employee inspector with jurisdiction. 1197 4) A determination of operational performance and other compliance in Section 4, Subp. 3 (C), and 1198 Section 4, Subp. 5, must be completed by a licensed advanced inspection business, a qualified employee 1199 with an advanced inspector certification with jurisdiction, or a service provider. A passing report is valid 1200 until a new inspection is requested. 1201 D. A certificate of compliance or notice of noncompliance for an existing system must be based on the results 1202 of the verifications in item C. The certificate of compliance or notice of noncompliance for an existing system 1203 must be signed by a licensed inspection business or a qualified employee inspector with jurisdiction. The 1204 certificate or notice for an existing system must be submitted to the local unit of government with 1205 jurisdiction and the property owner or owner's agent no later than 15 days after a compliance inspection. 1206 The completed form must also be submitted to the owner or owner's agent. The certificate of compliance 1207 for an existing system is valid for three years from the date of issuance, unless a new inspection is requested 1208 by the owner or owner's agent or is required according to local regulations. 1209 E. If a compliance inspection for an existing system indicates that the system is noncompliant, the notice must 1210 be signed by a licensed inspection business or qualified employee inspector with jurisdiction, contain a 1211 statement of noncompliance, and specify the reasons for noncompliance of each component specified in 1212 item B. 1213 1214 Periodically Saturated Soil Disagreements 1215 A.

On previously platted lots that have not been developed, enough area of suitable soil 1297 must be identified for two Type I or Type II soil treatment and dispersal areas. Percolation tests are not 1298 required for subdivision or lot approval testing unless the permeability cannot be estimated or there is 1299 Otter Tail County Sanitation Code Effective: Draft, has not been adopted by County Board - 34 - reason to believe the soil is not original soil or has been disturbed. 1300 D. Soil observations. A minimum of four soil observations are required for the initial and replacement soil 1301 treatment area and at least one soil observation must be performed in the portion of the soil treatment 1302 area anticipated to have the most limiting conditions.

These other characteristics must be classified according to the Field Book for 1365 Describing and Sampling Soils, which is incorporated by reference under Section 2, Subp. 41. 1366 F. Determination of Loading Rate and Absorption Area Sizing. The effluent loading and absorption area size 1367 must be determined by Item (1) or (2), or both, as required by the local unit of government. 1368 1) The loading rate based on an examination of soil texture, undisturbed soil structure, and soil 1369 consistence at the depth of either the proposed soil absorption area or the most restrictive layer 1370 within three feet of the proposed soil treatment area, using the United States Department of 1371 Agriculture (USDA) soil classification system as specified in the Field Book for Describing and Sampling 1372 Soils, which is incorporated by reference under Section 2, Subpart 41; or, 1373 2) The loading rate based on the percolation procedure described in subitems a to f or other equivalent 1374 procedure as approved by the local unit of government: 1375 a) Each test hole must be six to eight inches in diameter and have vertical sides. For mounds and at-1376 grade systems, the bottom of each test hole must be in the upper 12 inches of the original soil. For 1377 trenches and seepage beds, the bottom of each test hole must be at the depth of either the 1378 proposed absorption area or the most restrictive layer within three feet of the proposed soil 1379 absorption layer; 1380 b) Soil texture descriptions for percolation test holes must note the depths from the ground surface 1381 where texture changes occur; 1382 c) The bottom and sides of the hole must be carefully scratched to remove any smearing and to 1383 provide a natural soil surface into which water penetrates. The scarification must not result in the 1384 hole having a diameter of greater than eight inches; 1385 d) All loose material must be removed from the bottom of the test hole and two inches of one-fourth 1386 to three-fourths inch gravel or clean sand must be added to protect the bottom from scouring; 1387 e) The hole must be carefully filled with clear water to a minimum depth of 12 inches from the bottom 1388 of the test hole and maintained for no less than four hours for saturation to occur. The soil must 1389 then be allowed to swell for at least 16, but no more than 30, hours. In sandy soils, the saturation 1390 and swelling procedure is not required and the test is allowed to proceed if the initial filling of the 1391 hole with 12 inches of water seeps away in less than ten minutes; 1392 f) In sandy soils, water depth must be adjusted to eight inches over the soil at the bottom of the test 1393 hole. From a fixed reference point, the drop in water level must be measured in inches to the 1394 nearest 1/16 inch at approximately ten-minute intervals. A measurement is also allowed to be 1395 made by determining the time it takes for the water level to drop one inch from an eight-inch 1396 reference point. If eight inches of water seeps away in less than ten minutes, a shorter interval 1397 between measurements must be used, but water depth must not exceed eight inches. The test 1398 must continue until three consecutive percolation rate measurements do not vary by more than 1399 Otter Tail County Sanitation Code Effective: Draft, has not been adopted by County Board - 36 - ten percent. In other soils, the water depth must be adjusted to eight inches over the soil at the 1400 bottom of the test hole. From a fixed reference point, the drop in water level must be measured in 1401 inches to the nearest 1/16 inch at approximately 30-minute intervals and refilled between 1402 measurements to maintain an eight-inch starting head. If water seeps away in less than 30 minutes, 1403 a shorter time interval between measurements must be used, but water depth must not exceed 1404 eight inches. The test must continue until three consecutive percolation rate measurements do not 1405 vary by more than ten percent. The percolation rate is also allowed to be determined by observing 1406 the time it takes the water level to drop one inch from an eight-inch reference point if a constant 1407 water depth of at least eight inches has been maintained for at least four hours prior to the 1408 measurement; 1409 g) The time interval must be divided in minutes by the drop in water level in inches to obtain the 1410 percolation rate in minutes per inch. The percolation rates that are within the ten percent provision 1411 determined for each test hole must be averaged to determine the final percolation rate for that 1412 hole. The slowest final percolation rate for all holes within the soil dispersal area must be used for 1413 design; and 1414 h) A percolation test must not be run where frost exists within 12 inches of the bottom of the 1415 percolation test hole. 1416 G. Site Protection. The proposed soil treatment and dispersal area site shall be protected from disturbance, 1417 compaction, or other damage by staking, fencing, posting, or other effective method. 1418 1419 Phase I; Site Evaluation Reporting 1420 A written report on the site evaluation must be prepared and include the following: 1421 A.
