Section 1 FINDINGS

1.01 There are continuing and persistent issues of water quality in the Lake Superior watershed which need to be addressed through the provision of adequate public systems for the collection and treatment of wastewater.
1.02 The District was created for the purpose of promoting the public health and welfare by providing an adequate and efficient system and means of collecting, conveying, pumping, treating and disposing of domestic sewage and garbage and industrial wastes within the District and there is need throughout the territory of the District for the accomplishment of these purposes.

SECTION 2 RECITALS

2.01 The District intends to construct a wastewater collection system to serve the property within the territory of the District (the "Utility").
2.02 The District is currently facilitating a land use planning study within the territory of the District in order to, among other matters, evaluate the impact of the Utility on land use and land development in the District.
2.03 The District has previously determined it to be prudent and in the best interest of the residents of and owners of property within the District to authorize the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency ("MPCA") to prepare an Environmental Assessment Worksheet ("EAW") which will include an analysis of the land use and development impacts described in Section 2.02 above.
2.04 In conjunction with its preparation of the EAW, the MPCA has recommended, among other things, that the District adopt an ordinance restricting Utility service to areas solely within the territory of the District.
