  3. Central Lutheran’s Vision We envision becoming a thriving, vibrant model of urban Lutheran ministry for the 21st century. This lofty vision requires us to ask each day if our goals for worship, learning and service are clearly reaching a diverse neighborhood and city in language and actions that reflect the world as well as our heritage.

  4. Project Genesis Changes in City requirements Minneapolis Code 56.70 Disconnect all roof drains from the sanitary sewer system. (SS) • Central’s internal roof drain system designed to discharge stormwater into the City’s sanitary sewer system (SS). • 2005 City notice of mandate “Roof drains need to be disconnected from the SS by a licensed plumber. Stormwater needs to be redirected to discharge outside onto grade or directly connected to a storm drain if one is available.”

  5. First Step Disconnection #1 2008 - Disconnected NE drainpipe. Drained to new surface stormwater detention basin and underground chamber Total cost: $15-$20 K

  6. City & Central get seriousWe decided to do more…. • Underground infiltration / stormwater detention system captures roof runoff. • Diverts additional stormwater from SS E side of property. Total area served 1.08 acres • Applied 2010 MWMO Stewardship Funds Action Grant using BMP & “handling” 60% more water than required.
