CITY OF <br />LINO LAS <br />10/24/94 <br />Land and Water <br />Resources Inventory <br />General Geology and Topographic Data <br />Each organization plan shall contain a summary describing the general <br />topographic relief, geology, aquifers, and all known groundwater and <br />surface water connections. The summary should reference available <br />publications and maps where data may be available in greater detail. A <br />map defining appropriate subwatershed units within the organization <br />must be included. <br />Lino Lakes has little topographic relief except in the southeast <br />corner of the City which has moderate relief. Several natural <br />depression storage areas exist throughout the City. All but the <br />southeast corner of the City is ultimately tributary to Rice Creek. <br />The southeast corner drains to Vadnais Lake and the St. Paul water <br />system. <br />Topographic maps are available at 10 foot contour intervals from <br />the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Maps with a 2 foot <br />contour interval are also available from the City for Sections 4, 5, <br />7 through 9, 17 (N 1/2), 18 through 20, 21 (S 1/2), 24 through 30, <br />31 (N 1/2), 32, 33 (N 1/2), 35 and 36. Sections 2, 10, 11, 14, 15, 21 <br />' '(NE 1/4), and 22 are available from RCWD. However, these maps <br />were developed prior to the recent residential development surge <br />in the city. Much of the drainage has been altered by the <br />development. <br />Detailed descriptions of the City's bedrock geology can be obtained <br />from the Rice Creek Watershed District. In addition, the <br />Minnesota Geological Survey can provide maps detailing the <br />bedrock hydrogeology of Minnesota, addressing rock formations <br />and aquifers. <br />Local Water Management Plan SEH No. A- LINOL9402.00 <br />Reference Document Page 5 <br />
