A copy of this letter is attached to and made a part <br />of• these minutes. <br />It was noted that wetlands make up approximately 20% (1,500 acres) of the <br />subject area. <br />Three options reviewed were as follows: <br />1' Restriction of flow from Bald Eagle Lake. Minimum benefits would be <br />obtained from this option. <br />2. Effective use of wetlands as storage areas' It must be determined <br />whether the current wetland areas remain full or if they empty <br />between storms. It is important that the wetlands are drawn down <br />after storms to ensure future capacity. <br />3. Utilize storage areas within Clearwater Creek itself' It may be <br />beneficial to increase the "low flow" within the creek system. The <br />most restrictive creek area is under Interstate 35E. <br />It would be a goal that the flow underneath Interstate 35E be less than <br />500 cubic feet per second to prevent overtopping of 35E. <br />Options and recommendations of OSM Engineers with regard to financing wee: <br />1. As development takes place, require the developer to construct on <br />site ponding utilizing existing wetlands or constructing holding <br />areas, limiting discharge rates. <br />2. Require monetary contributions from developers that would be <br />dedicated to a fund to increase storage capacity. This could include <br />improvements such as on site drainage, regional facilities, and/or <br />within the drainageway. <br />It appeared to be the recommendation of OSM Engineers that the cities <br />consider incorporating both options. <br />
