5. HB Fuller heating cooling waters. <br />a. We understand that the HB Fuller Co. was granted an approximate 15 year exemption <br />from the DNR to use 50,000 gallons aquifer water per day to heat and cool their Vadnais Heights <br />facilities. After use this water is pumped into Willow Lake, flows under Highway 61 and into the <br />Beam Ave. cleansing area. <br />b. Since that exemption has expired it would seem we should no longer be getting the HB <br />Fuller water to our Lake. But you said that the exemption had been extended. Who extended it, <br />when, and why? If it was by Legislative action please provide the file number so that we can <br />pursue shutting down this industrial source of water. <br />We are sure that you know that our Lake Association is very concerned about waters flowing into <br />Lake Gervais. Past history would tell us that we should only reach the 860.0 ft high water level <br />about once every 5 years. But it is obvious that conditions are changing as we had 2 occurrences <br />of high water in 2003 and many others instances in the 5 year time period of 1998 -2003. <br />We appreciate your willingness to discuss the water issues with our membership. We are <br />working to determine a good time to take you up on your offer. <br />Sincerely - Gervais Lake Association Board Members, <br />Mugs Nardini — Pres. <br />f..., rye <br />m Bailey — Bd Me <br />Copies via e-mail to: <br />e <br />4* W< <br />Bill Buesing — <br />Lynda Taklo — Treas.
