E. <br />Little Canada, MN 55117 <br />Dear Bryce Shearen: <br />Thank you working with me on my Boy Scout Eagle Project. It’s been a great experience working with you <br />and Sage at the Watershed District. <br />The project overview is as follows: I will be clearing out, and replanting, a rain garden on Sextant Ave. It is <br />approximately 15 x 45 feet. The project will be done in two phases. Phase one will require multiple people <br />using tools to remove some of the undesirable plants and weed as defined by the Watershed District and <br />refuse will be placed on the street next to the rain garden to be hauled away by the City of Little Canada. <br />Phase two will consist of planting new plants and mulch as recommended by the Watershed District. <br />This rain garden will filter out any chemicals, nutrients or sediments that should not be in the water. The <br />garden will also make the neighborhood look much better. <br />Please note that the price has dropped significantly because of the prices the Watershed District provided. <br />Below are the answers to your questions. <br />1. Provide an explanation for how you came up with the design? <br />• Sage Passi at the Watershed District was kind enough to work with me on laying out the grid <br />stakes and determining what plants will be kept and what should be removed. We then met to <br />decide on the plants and flowers needed and about where they should be placed in the rain <br />garden. <br />2. Did the Watershed give it their ‘stamp of approval’? <br />• Yes, Sage has reviewed all the materials and paperwork and has approved it. <br />3. Are you planning on removing all existing plants and starting from a clean slate? <br />• No, we are going to keep various existing plants and remove those items that don’t benefit the <br />rain garden. Sage and I have discussed this. <br />4. What is the project timeline? <br />• Once the City of Little Canada has approved and provided funds the project can be scheduled <br />and completed on a weekend. <br />5. Do you have date(s) in mind for when the work will be taking place? <br />• No, but the soonest would be August 25-26 or September 1-2.
