Report on surface Water - Mr. Joel Schilling, Senior Scientist employed by our consulting engineering firm, SEH and Mr. Rocky Keehn a hydrologist/engineer and a Lino Lakes resident, also employed by SEH were invited to attend a park board meeting to answer questions pertaining to surface water and water condition problems in the City. In the audience were 13 residents of D. Erickson 2nd Addition who were concerned about the pond behind their houses. Several of these homeowners have property on Pheasant Run where the backyard adjoins the pond. They say that the pond has become overgrown with weeds and wonder how to get rid of them. Mr. Schilling explained that if this was planned as a sediment pond, then it will probably have to be maintained over time. He says harvesting is the preferred method of weed removal. There was some discussion regarding whether the City is responsible to maintain the pond or not. There also were questions concerning the liability issues involved concerning the pond. Ken Johnson questioned whether the City is responsible for the maintenance of such ponds, and if they are, does it have any plans for maintenance? Marty Asleson will check on this. Mr. Keehn explained that the City is in the process of setting up a water management plan, and he will be classifying bodies of water in the City next year. The pond maintenance issues will probably be addressed at that time. Ken Johnson thanked both Mr. Schilling and Mr. Keehn for the very interesting and informative discussion.
