ANOKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT <br />Raintree Professional Center <br />11931 Highway 65 NE <br />Blaine, MN 55434 <br />612/757-4221 Fax/757-4771 <br />City of Lino Lakes <br />1189 Main St <br />Lino Lakes, MN 55014 <br />Dear City of Lino Lakes: <br />RECEIVED <br />AUG - 8 1995 <br />('ITV OF 1.1 N O LAKES <br />August 4, 1995 <br />The Anoka Conservation District has received funds from the Minnesota Board of Water <br />and Soil Resources to assist Anoka County residents with sealing unused wells. Unused <br />wells create a potential source for groundwater contamination because they can act as a <br />conduit for surface pollution to enter groundwater supplies. The state well construction <br />code has required sealing of unused wells since 1974. <br />The unused well -sealing cost share program will reimburse 50% of the direct cost to seal <br />a well. There is a maximum cost of $2,000 per well. The property owner is responsible <br />for the remaining 50% of the cost. There is no limit to the number of unused wells per <br />property or owner that are eligible for cost -share funding. <br />We are trying our best to inform everyone about this program and would appreciate you <br />informing others who are not aware of this opportunity to apply for funds. This is the <br />first year we are offering this cost share program and hope it will be successful in sealing <br />high priority wells and assisting as many people as possible. If you have any questions <br />regarding this program, please contact me at 757-4221. <br />Respectfully, <br />Tony Brough <br />District Technician <br />
