AGENDA ITEM 4 � �n�STATE OF li�J LI�J E Z(Q)�Q DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES PHONE NO. METRO WATERS, 1200 Warner Road, St. Paul, MN 5 pig 772-7910 January 7, 1993 Mr. Marty Asleson City of Lino Lakes 1189 Main Street Lino Lakes, Minnesota 55014 RE: LIMITED PERMIT #93-6042 , PUBLIC WATERS WETLAND 2-555W, CITY OF LINO LAKES, ANOKA COUNTY Dear Mr. Asleson: Enclosed is Limited Permit #93-6042 authorizing the construction of two boardwalk wetland crossings at the west end of DNR Public Waters Wetland 2-555W, and within the Brandywood Park development. ,.� This is a modification of your proposal for placing fill for two 15 foot wide wetland crossings. Minnesota Rules, part 6115.0190, subpart 1, states that it is the goal of the Department to limit the placement of any fill material into protected waters in order to "minimize encroachment, change, or damage to the environment". Subpart 3 of the same rule states that filling is prohibited to construct a roadway or pathway unless there is "no other feasible or practical alternative to the project that would have less environmental impact" . In evaluating your permit request, we have determined that there is other feasible and practical alternatives to the project that would have less environmental impact. DNR staff has further determined that a trail access across the wetland at the requested locations can be accomplished with less environmental impact by the use of a structural boardwalk. - Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes,< Section 103G. 311, Subd. 5, the applicant, the managers of the watershed district, the board of supervisors of the soil and water conservation district or the mayor of the city may demand a hearing on the Order provided the demand for hearing and the bond required by Subd. 6 be filed with the Commissioner within 30 days. No bond or security is required of a public authority which demands a hearing. The Statutes further provide that if no demand for hearing be made or if a •� hearing is demanded but no bond is filed as required by Subd. 6, the Order shall become final at the expiration of 30 days after mailed notice thereof and no appeal of the Order may be taken to the Minnesota State Court of Appeals.
