Ramsey - Washington Metro Watershed District City of Little Canada 515 Little Canada Road St. Paul, Minnesota 55117 Attn: Mr. Joseph G. Chlebeck Re: Preliminary Plat Schletty Woods Gentlemen: P.O. Box 2128 St. Paul, Minnesota 55109 December 17, 1976 At their December-16, 1976 meeting, the Board reviewed the preliminary plat of Schletty Woods, as submitted by the developer on December 13. Although the plat is located outside the legal boundaries of our Watershed District, it does lie within the natural watershed of Gervais Lake and we appreciate the City's assistance in asking the developer to coordinate his activities with the Watershed.

The storage capacity of the proposed pond will comply with guidelines set forth in the Ramsey County hydrologic study and, therefore, conforms to the existing management plan for this portion of our district. Therefore, the Board would approve the preliminary plat (as shown on a drawing dated September, 1976 and submitted to the City by Donald Campbell, RLS, on behalf of the owner) if we had authority to do so. The District would, if appropriate, also issue a grading permit for preliminary road grading necessary to clear and prepare for utility con- struction, with the stipulations shown below: 1. Grading operations shall be accomplished in a manner which minimizes potential for erosion and sedimentation which affect downstream waterways or lakes. All runoff from the graded areas shall be intercepted by dikes and channeled to a desilt- ing basin. Dikes for the desisting basin shall consist of earth, with anchored hay bales or coarse rock used to provide a filter -type outlet. 2. Permittees shall maintain erosion and sediment facilities until restoration is completed and established. Restoration of disturbed areas shall be completed as soon as possible. Where on -going construction makes immediate restoration possible, 011
