Memorandum

TO: City Council
FROM: Mark Ray, PE, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Drought response check in
Background
The State of Minnesota has a Statewide Drought Plan that it has been following in response to the
statewide drought conditions. When talking about the drought conditions and the response, it is
important to understand what information is used by each two systems. While they are related
(generally by lack of rain), the data they use and their intended purposes are different.
US Drought Monitor
“The Drought Monitor has been a team effort since its inception in 1999, produced jointly by the
National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC) at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). It is
not a statistical model, although numeric inputs are many: the Palmer Drought Severity Index, the
Standardized Precipitation Index, and other climatological inputs; the Keech-Byram Drought Index for
fire, satellite-based assessments of vegetation health, and various indicators of soil moisture; and
hydrologic data, particularly in the West, such as the Surface Water Supply Index and
snowpack.” (Source: https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/About/WhatistheUSDM.aspx)
Currently, Hennepin County is in the “Severe Drought” classification
(https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/climate/journal/drought_monitor.html).
Statewide Drought Plan
“Legislation enacted in 1990 mandated the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to prepare a
drought plan (Minnesota Statutes (MS), Section 103G.293). Major Participants State, Federal and local
agencies, along with water users and suppliers in Minnesota, all have responsibilities before and during
times of drought.” (Source:
https://files.dnr.state.mn.us/natural_resources/climate/drought/drought_plan_matrix.pdf)
For water suppliers that use the Mississippi river for their source of water (such as Minneapolis), the
thresholds for the different response levels are based on the average daily flow as measured by the
United States Geological Survey gauge in the Mississippi River at 610 in Brooklyn Park.
Crystal (along with all other Mississippi river sourced water suppliers) is currently in the “Drought
Warning Phase” of the plan.
Joint Water Commission water use
Staff have been working with Minneapolis to establish the actual water use as required by the
Statewide Drought Plan. Using the 2018-2020 January JWC bills, the 3-year average of JWC January
billed usage was estimated to be 152.6 million gallons. Averaged over 31 days, this results in a ‘January
use’ rate of 4.92 million gallons per day. For drought conditions, the +50% target under the Drought
Warning Phase is then 7.4 million gallons per day. The +25% target under the Restrictive Phase is 6.2
million gallons per day.
While the JWC consumption has decreased over the last few weeks, we have not yet met the target for
the Drought Warning Phase. We are over by at least around a half million gallons per day (7%).
City Actions
Since the Drought Warning phase of the plan went into effect the Crystal has been coordinating with
New Hope and Golden Valley to develop consistent communication messages for all our residents
collectively. This has included the development of fliers, social media messages, and press releases.
Should the drought continue or get worse, efforts beyond education most likely will need to be
implemented to meet the established water use thresholds in the plan. Each of the three cities plan on
using existing enforcement methods and established fines in their fee schedules for their enforcement
actions. While the methods (who enforces, etc.) and fine values may be different for each City, the
sequence is the same for properties found in violation:
1) Education
2) Warning
3) Fine
4) Fine progressively increases
Staff will be using the “Level One Violation” classification while administering the watering restrictions.
The fines start at $75 per occurrence and increase to $130 by the 4th violation. If a property gets to the
4th violation, they will have been fined $405 cumulatively.

Responsibilities, Plans and Actions Related to Drought Planning
Minnesota Statewide Drought Plan
Legislation enacted in 1990 mandated the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to prepare a drought plan. Minnesota
Statutes (MS), Section 103G.293 states:
"The commissioner shall establish a plan to respond to drought-related emergencies and to prepare a statewide
framework for drought response. The plan must consider metropolitan water supply plans of the metropolitan
council prepared under section 473.156. The plan must provide a framework for implementing drought response
actions in a staged approach related to decreasing levels of flow. Permits issued under 103G.261 must provide
conditions on water appropriation consistent with the drought response plan established by this section."
The attached Drought Plan table outlines the staged approach for implementing drought response actions.
Major Participants
State, Federal and local agencies, along with water users and suppliers in Minnesota, all have responsibilities before and
during times of drought. In ad dition to ongoing studies and coordination efforts, the primary responsibilities of the major
participants are:
MN DNR – DNR Waters is responsible for maintaining and updating the StatewideDrought Plan, monitoring and
communicating drought conditions, as well as for convening the State Drought Task Force. DNR Waters
regulates water use by permit (water appropriation) and by requiring Water Supply Plans for public water
suppliers serving more than 1,000 people. Other DNR divisions monitor drought impacts on forestry, wildlife
and fisheries.
Metropolitan Council – the Metropolitan Council is responsible for development of a regional master water
supply plan for the seven-county metropolitan area and reviews local water supplies as part of community
comprehensive plans.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – the USACE operates reservoirs in 3 river systems in Minnesota primarily for
commercial navigation, flood control and/or navigation (Minnesota River, Red River of the North and the
Mississippi River). The Mississippi River headwaters reservoirs have been studied for purposes of water
releases during times of drought. Under the USACE ope rations plans, emergency releases may be done only
under certain conditions to meet health and safety needs and in consultation with the federal Bureau of Indian
Affairs, the Minnesota Chippewa Tribal government, and the MN DNR. The USACE also helps with
preparedness and equipment.
Water Users and Suppliers – local communities and water users must implement conservation measures as
required by DNR Waters and Met Council.
Governor of Minnesota – the Governor is empowered to declare a critical water deficiency by executive order.
(103G.291 Subd.1)
Other Participants and their capabilities
Department of Public Safety, Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEM) – Public information and response
coordination
Pollution Control Agency – Public information, response procedures, exercise capabilities, data collection
National Weather Service – Weather and hydrologic forecasts and warnings
Department of Agriculture – Assistance with crop and other farming-related drought issues
Department of Health – Public Water Supply
Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) – technical and financial assistance to agricultural producers
Related Plans
Local Water Supply Plans – address projected demands, adequacy of the water supply system and planned
improvements, existing and future water sources, natural resource impacts or limitations, emergency preparedness,
water conservation, supply and demand reduction measures, and allocation priorities. Met Council oversees those
in the 7-county metro area.
Mississippi River System-Wide Low-Flow Management Plan – A plan conceived by the DNR, the USACE and
the hydropower facilities along the Mississippi River upstream of St. Paul, the primary purpose of which is to help
ensure run-of-river operations during low flow periods and coordination among the hydropower facility operators.
MN Emergency Operations Plan (MEOP) – The MEOP addresses drought as well as other natural hazards. The
plan responds to potential emergencies (nuclear power plants, etc.) as they relate to extreme drought conditions.
STATE DROUGHT TASK FORCE
Purpose and Role
The State Drought Task Force is convened, as defined in the Restrictive Phase of the Drought Table, to provide
coordination and communication between agencies and institutions affected by drought and to provide a central
source for the news media. The Task Force could also be called together at other times as needed to serve as a
forum for discussion of drought management plans and policies. In cases of more localized drought conditions,
the Director of DNR Waters may bring appropriate parties together on a Regional Drought Task Force for the
same purposes.
