ADJOURN • • • Agenda Item 5A Environmental Board Meeting Date: August 2, 2006 Topic: Comforts of Home /PUD Development Background: The Comforts of Home proposal is located on the NW Corner of Hodgson Road and County Road J. It is an approximately 17 acre project proposal. The existing land -use is mixed -use, and it is proposed to have mixed -use. The applicant proposes a PUD for the site. Analysis: Land Cover The MLCCS is included as Attachment 4. The land consists of Aspen forest in the NW corner, upland soils with planted, maintained or cultivated, long grasses and sparse tree coverage on hydric soils, and grassland with sparse conifer or mixed deciduous /coniferous trees. The Aspen forest area is highly impacted with glossy buckthorn and garlic mustard. The grass land plant communities have spotty butterfly grass and blue joint clumps. Wetlands The wetland delineation report is included as Attachment 17. The isolated wetland area delineated on the site is inundated with glossy buckthorn and garlic mustard. It is recommended that that the developer be responsible for all noxious plant removals on the property. The preliminary utility plan has the wetland labeled with "Temporary Wetland Impact Permit Required." Temporary Wetland impact permits are sometimes given when a utility is proposed to run through a wetland. In this case, existing soils are lifted up and placed back down over a pipe. Care should be given to ensuring a minimum disturbance and that the existing soils are indeed placed back on top of the pipe. City native seed mix used to restore disturbed infiltration, pond, wetland, and infiltration swale areas. Rare and Unique Resources There are no recorded rare, threatened or endangered species on this site. Our computer wildlife model does not indicate anything on this site. Attachment 16 shows a small amount of what we were calling Level 1 Habitat in the open space plan. This is in the area of the delineated wetland on the site. Once the • • buckthorn in this wetland is removed, the ground will be basically bare. The City Native Seed Mix should be seeded into this area. Soils Soils are depicted on Attachment 15. The soils are upland, non - wetland types of soils, except where the wetland was delineated in the NW corner. The upland soils are highly permeable and should be used to the greatest extent possible to infiltrate storm water. On the other hand, precautions should be taken with these soils when proposing fueling stations. A fueling site spill containment area should be designed into the plan if this fueling station goes forward. A requirement of this and every project in Lino Lakes is that no soils are to be imported or exported without City approval. Surface Water Surface water from this site, flows to Baldwin Lake. The Developer is proposing to route excess water over to Woodridge Lane and than into a wetland complex to the West. This would change the sub watershed water flow for this area. In Tight that direct discharge into wetlands may not be allowed in the future, it is important to look at every opportunity to maintain the predevelopment water quantities as possible. Impervious parking areas must be kept to the minimum allowed under our City code. Parking lots are draining to catch basins. Instead of the pipe, maybe the design could mirror the HB Fuller model, or the use of ECS, and include a rain garden /infiltration area where the pipe is. Pervious pavers should be used on at least 10 % of the parking areas. Additional Bio- retention /rain - garden should replace the pipe going through the large parking area East of Bik. 1. Again, an ECS system would work here as well. Also, suggest day - lighting the storm pipe wrapping around Block 1 to the South and West to allow for infiltration These rain gardens could be connected to swales with additional rain - gardens in most areas. The design is using infiltration drain pipe in the pond areas that will infiltrate additional surface water. Rain gardens should be designed according to models set forth in the Maplewood rain garden design. The Town homes on the NW need additional distance added to existing residents houses. Again, day - lighting pipes into a series of rain gardens would be a highly effective way to infiltrate water. Drainage swales should have a low profile planting. Parking island bioretention /infiltration (if used), and rain garden areas (if used) should be designed and have a more formal design that is approved by the City. Access to all surface water treatment areas must be provided for and indicated on the plat proposal. A common maintenance agreement for maintaining planted surface water treatment train areas should be written and approved by the City. • • All ponds should be designed with a for -bay to allow for more efficient maintenance. Just as an informational piece, the City Engineer indicated that the OHW elevations of the ponds are higher than the on grade elevations of adjacent houses. This will have to be corrected. It is better /easier, and cheaper to design volume controls into our new subdivision designs now rather than having to retrofit design into built areas. Lino lakes missed (Lino Lakes was #31 on a list of 30). The first 30 cities that are being asked to do just that. That is they are being asked to reduce runoff to pre - 1988 development volumes. Removing pipe is cheaper cost for the developer and most likely cheaper for the City in the long run. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan The SWPPP must be received and approved and implemented by the City prior to a grading permit. This is a separate and distinct document from the detail sheets submitted as part of the application process. This SWPPP must have the responsible manager listed and a 24 hour phone number that this person can be reached. The SWPPP should be sent to the environmental and engineering divisions of the Community Development Department for approval. The SWPPP must address dewatering and ensure that no turbid dewatering is done to receiving waters. This contradicts the language of not applicable to this project (Attachment 14 —SWPPP sheet). An alternative /temporary pond should be designated and located on the plan (See Attachment 18 for RCWD recommendation on SWPPP maters). Final stabilization note should indicate stabilization will be done with the City native seed mix. Canada wild rye can be increased in the city mix to address any quick stabilization concerns. The site plan must show the location of the SWPPP's location on the construction site, as well as weekly and post rainfall event inspection reports. A mail box works well for storing SWPPP information. All existing and new storm water catch basins must be protected with a city approved device. Infrasafe or a city approved substitute is required. Filter fabric will not be allowed. In addition the plan must show a designated concrete truck wash -out area. This area must be identified in the field and designed so that water and material does not leave the wash -out area. The concrete residue must not be later wasted on the site. The developer must indicate to the City how these materials will be disposed (recycled) of. The rock entrance must be installed before grading occurs. A stockpile of rock is recommended to be on site for top- dressing sediment filled rock. All SWPPP violations will have a 24 hour correction period. After this the City will take action to correct inefficiencies. This may include red -tags, project shut - downs, and outside contract for work to make corrections. All expenses will be charged to the project. Tree Preservation A Tree Inventory is tabulated on Attachment 10. City code requires a tree preservation plan. That is the trees that are shown as "save" must have a written plan on how they will be saved. Fencing must be shown installed at a minimum of 1.5 Feet for every diameter inch of tree. This fence must be installed prior to soil disturbance and approved by the City. The City reserves the right to specify fence type. Generally a 4 -foot orange snow fence is adequate for tree protection. Penalties shall apply for trees lost or damaged in preservation areas. Trail The trail location is shown on Attachment 5. The trail is located too close to the wetland in lot 2. At least a 10 foot buffer is required. A 16 foot minimum buffer is preferable. In order to prevent damage to landscaped areas later, all "T" type trail intersections must be tapered, or "feathered out" to allow for maintenance equipment turns. • Lighting Lighting fixtures are shown on Attachment 19. It is unclear if the wall mount fixture lens conforms to the City standard. The fixture lens must have a flush mount lens. • Landscape Plan The landscape plan (Attachment 20) depicts a planting schedule of deciduous and evergreen screenings and accents. A planting schedule (more specific than coniferous and deciduous and ornamental) needs to be written and approved by the City as part of the approval project. The large parking lot shows a number of islands. A linear island dividing the parking lot, in a rain garden setting would better serve parking lot and surface water landscaping issues. The rain garden should include larger trees and formal native plantings. The parking lot should drain to this area. The plan should be approved by the City of Lino Lakes. Landscaping in suggested pipe removal areas should also be designed rain garden plans. Between the town homes and existing residential lots, rain gardens could if designed properly, as well as conifers or fence on the property line afford the required screening. Again, there needs to be more separation /space between existing residential and the town - homes. All surface water areas not formally planted, or exposed pond, infiltration or wetland areas should be planted with the City Native Seed mix by a contractor approved by the City. Contractors on the DNR Native plant contractors list would be suitable. A Contract should be signed to plant and maintain all native seed areas for a minimum of 3 years. This contract should include at least 1 burn after 3 years. All rain - gardens must be designed similar to the Maplewood low maintenance rain garden. A contract with • • a landscape maintenance company must be signed to manage these rain gardens, as well as an agreement with the City that this management will occur in perpetuity Options: 1.

Description of soil types found at the project: Axodng to soil borings taken by a g otedmical engineering consultant, the majority of the sops as poorly graded. 2. General Site Information Description of the location and type of all temporary and permanent erosion prevention and sediment control BMP's to be used, including the timing for installation and procedures used to establish additional temporary BMP's as necessary: Contractor shall install and maintain the temporary and permanent erosion prevention and sediment control BMP's as shown on the accompanying drawing and as described herein. The timing shall be in accordance with the Construction Activity Sequence below and in accordance with sound and proactive construction scheduling and practices Accompanying this SWPPP is a site plan that includes the following features: • Existing and proposed grades, including dividing lines and direction of flow for all pre- and post- construction stormwater runoff drainage areas located within the project limits. • Locations of impervious surfaces and soil types. • Locations of areas not to be disturbed. • Location of areas of phased construction. • All surface waters and existing wetlands within one -half mile from the project boundaries that will receive stormwater runoff from the site (identifiable on maps such as USGPS 7.5- minute quadrangle maps or equivalent). Where surface waters receiving runoff associated with construction activity will not fit on the plan sheet, they must be identified with an arrow, indicating both direction and distance to the surface water. • Method(s) to be used for final stabilization of all exposed sal areas. Description of stormwater mitigation measures required as the result of an environmental, archaeological, or other required local, state, or federal review of the project Not applicable to this project Description of the type and locations of BMP's appropriate for this site and sufficient to comply with all applicable requirements of the TMDL implementation plan and identification of the receiving water and of the areas of project site discharging to on impaired water that has on approved TMDL implementation plan that contains requirements for construction Stormwater discharger Not applicable to this project Selection of Permanent Stormwater Management System Will the project create a new cumulative impervious surface greater than or equal to one acre? XX Yes _ No If yes, o water quality volume of )t inch of runoff from this area must be treated before leaving the site or entering surface waters (1 inch of runoff from this area if dischorging to special waters). Method(s) to be used to treat runoff from the new impervious surfaces created by the project dz Met sedimentation basin la Infiltration/Filtration basin Regional ponds _ Combination of practices Description of treatment method(s) to be used, including design information for each method : MIRE wet sedimentation basks wit be constructed as shown on the plan. fie basins have been designed to provide a water quality volume of 0.5 inch of runoff from the new impervious surfaces that drain to each respective bosh, Each bash has also been deigned to provide o permanent vdume of 1,800 cubic feet d starge below the outlet invert pipe eMvation fair each an that drabs to the respective basin. The permanent depth of each basin will be between 3 and 10 feet Each basins outlet Is designed to &scheme the water quality polaris at no more than 5.66 cubic feet per sealed per acre of basin surface area. Access is provided to each bash for future bash maintenance. The outlet for each bosh has been located to minimize the potential for Eachhbb�, hoe been section and riized for energy designed vein o stabilized energeey overflow to accommodate storm events in excess of to basins hydroid= deign. Description of why if is not feasible to meet the treatment requirement for water quality volume. This can include proximity to bedrock or road projects where the lock of right -of -way precludes the installation of any permanent stormwater management practices. Description of what other treatment, such as grossed swales, smaller ponds, or grit chambers, will be implemented to treat runoff prior to discharge to surface waters: Not Apppcabe Description of how o proposed alternative method to treat runoff from new impervious surfaces will achieve approximotey BOX removal of total suspended solids on an annual overage basis: Not Applicable 3. Erasion Prevention Practices Description of construction phasing, vegetative buffer strips, horizontal slope grading, and other construction practices to be used to minimize erosion: Stage the sal disturbing activities to minimize the amount of disturbed soil prior to stabilization. Disturbed areas will be considered stabilized when covered with materials such as anchored mulch, stoked sod. riprop, wood fiber blanket or other materials that prevent erosion from occurring. Grass seeding alone will not be considered stabilization. Disturb ony those areas where proposed contours and elevations are shown to differ from the existing and where removals and other operations are noted.

P.O. Box 189 Ellsworth, Wisconsin 54011 Wetland Delineation Report Lino Lakes Delineation Prepared for: Comforts of Home Lino Lakes, Minnesota December 22, 2005 Background Graham Environmental Services, Inc. (GES) has completed the wetland delineation of a site located in part of the S' /2, SE'/, Section 31, T31N, R22W, in Anoka County, Minnesota. County Highway 49 borders the property on the east. County Highway 32 is located to the south. Business and residential property is located to the north, south and west (Figure 1). The topography is relatively flat according to the U.S.G.S. Circle Pines and New Brighton Quadrangles (Figure 2). On November 4, 2005, GES conducted the delineation of one wetland on the property. The approximate site and wetland boundaries are shown on a 2000 aerial photo in Figure 3. Methodologies The wetland was delineated using the methods contained in the "Routine Determinations" section of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers "Wetlands Delineation Manual' (Technical Report Y -87 -1, 1987). This is the methodology currently used by both the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for implementation of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and by local government units administering the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act. GES classified the wetland under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (FWS) Cowardin system and Circular 39 methodologies. Subsequent to wetland delineation field work, the flagged boundaries were located by the project surveyor. Soil colors described herein follow "Munsell Soil Color Charts ". Phone: 715- 647 -5110 / 888- 279 -2070 Fax: 715- 647 -5209 / 888 - 279 -2069 RECEIVED JUN 1 3 2006 Lino Lakes Delineation Wetland Delineation Report GES Project No. 2005.150 December 22, 2005 Page 2 Results The site consists of old field (Figure 3) characterized by smooth brome (Bromus inermis), common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii), stinging nettle (Urtica dioica), common burdock (Arctium minus) and foxtail (Setaria spp.) with scattered quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides), red oak (Quercus rubra) and spruce (Picea spp.) at the edges. Two businesses are located in the southern portion of the property. Wetland A Wetland A is a small wetland located in the northwest portion of the property. Dominant wetland vegetation consists of reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea), river bulrush (Scirpus fluviatilis), willow (Salix spp.) and quaking aspen. Upland vegetation consists of red oak, quaking aspen, Canada goldenrod (Solidago canadensis), common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) and smooth brome. The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) (Figure 4) maps the wetland as seasonally flooded, palustrine, partially drained /ditched, emergent (PEMCd) and semi - permanently flooded, palustrine, unconsolidated bottom (PUBF). GES would classify the wetland as seasonally flooded, palustrine, emergent (PEMC), which equates to Type 3 inland shallow fresh marsh under the Circular 39 system. Soils in the wetland were examined approximately six feet from flag A -1 and were found to contain very dark gray fine sandy loam over dark gray fine sandy loam. Depth of surface water was estimated at approximately four inches with no free water observed in the wetland soil pit. Upland soils were examined approximately five feet from flag A -1 and were found to contain very dark grayish brown sandy loam over dark brown sandy loam over brown sand. No free water was observed in the upland soil pit. The Anoka County soil survey (Figure 5) shows the soils in the vicinity of Wetland A to be Soderville fine sand and Zimmerman fine sand. The Minnesota DNR Protected Waters Inventory (Figure 6) does not map the wetland. Jurisdiction The enclosed wetland delineation data forms indicate whether wetlands are isolated or not for purposes of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers jurisdiction under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. This determination is made by GES in the field at the time of the delineation and is essentially our professional opinion based on the portion of the particular wetland we observe. In some cases, only a small portion of the wetland edge is evaluated. If no inlets or outlets are observed in the evaluated area, and none are apparent on available aerial • Lino Lakes Delineation Wetland Delineation Report GES Project No. 2005.150 December 22, 2005 Page 3 photos or the U.S.G.S. topographic map, we are inclined to determine the wetland is isolated. However, since the entire wetland is sometimes not assessed, it is possible that inlets and /or outlets do exist and that the wetland has a surface connection to a federal "navigable" water and, thus, falls within the jurisdiction of Section 404. Therefore, a determination by GES of whether a particular wetland is isolated or not should not be considered a final determination with regard to Corps jurisdiction. A copy of this report should be submitted to the Corps of Engineers, the Local Government Unit administering the Wetland Conservation Act and, if DNR- protected waters are present on the site, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. It is also possible that the city or watershed district (if applicable) has wetland ordinances which must be complied with. Supplying these reports will serve the dual purpose of determining which agencies have jurisdiction and beginning the process of obtaining concurrence with the delineated wetland boundaries. Prior to construction that could affect any of the on -site wetlands, any necessary permits should first be obtained. Additional information regarding the wetland's vegetation, soils and hydrology is included in Appendix A. Ground photos of the site and wetland are included in Figures 7 and 8. The information contained herein represents the findings of GES during wetland delineation activities conducted on November 4, 2005, at the referenced site.

Number None Date Date Project Number Drawn By RGH Checked By RW KEY PLAN SHEEP _ L1 • • • AGENDA ITEM 5B STAFF ORIGINATOR: Marty Asleson DATE: August 2, 2006 TOPIC: Golden Acre BACKGROUND: This is a preliminary plat proposal for a rezone, variance for lot size /width /depth. This is almost an identical proposal to the adjacent Haley Manor Plat that was reviewed in 2003. Golden Acre has a total acreage of 1.11 acres. The existing zoning is R -1 Residential. The Developer wishes to subdivide to 4 lots. The project is located in Mar Don Acres, North of Lois Lane and South of Arlo Lane (Attachment 1, 2, 3). As with Haley Manor, there are no significant pre- existing land covers on site, nor are there any pre- existing soil -water relationships that would indicate rare plant features. There are no National heritage Consideration and no existing wetlands. Although the site is not large enough for the RCWD to review, recommend following standard guidelines for addition of impervious. That is an infiltration area must be provided to infiltrate the impervious area from the Mpls -St. Paul median storm (.34 inches) in 72 hours. This area could be in the form of a rain garden between the 4 houses with as much impervious area as possible directed to it. The infiltration area must be protected from compaction before construction begins. The grading plan shows the surface water flowing to the neighbor lot. The grading plan should be changed to reflect on site storage /infiltration of water. A SWPPP (Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan) and a MPCA permit are required for this project. The SWPPP must be submitted to the City for approval before any soil disturbance occurs, as well as the MPCA permit. The SWPPP must be located on site (Preferably a mail box) with weekly and post rain fall event inspection reports. The developer did submit an erosion control plan (Attachment 4). The erosion plan should be made more comprehensive to address pollution issues such as concrete truck cleaning and litter containment. The plan needs to show a concrete truck wash site that is protected by containment barriers. All wash out must be removed from the site after construction. The plan signature is the responsible person that will inspect and correct deficiencies. The name and 24 hour phone number of this person must be added to the plan. Location of the required rock entrance must be shown on the plan. Storm sewer catch basins need to be protected with an Infrashield type of device. Silt fabric will not be allowed. Much of the language in the Erosion Control Notes are template /cut and past sentences with little thought on specifics or site realities. For instance, the notes • • • talk about Tree Preservation where there are no significant trees to be saved on the site. The SWPPP needs to be very site specific. With out revision, the project should not be allowed to move forward. There are no significant trees on the site. Escrow one boulevard tree per house frontage will be required.

With the intent of improving water quality, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) devised the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II permit program. The City of Lino Lakes is required to comply with regulations set forth by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). As a result, over the last three years the City has been in the process of implementing its Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) in conformance with the (NPDES) Phase II permit. This process has led to 1) a better understanding of the City's surface water management system, 2) a proactive approach to maintaining and improving the system, and 3) recognition that current levels of funding are inadequate. In January the City Council retained the services of Short, Elliott, Hendrickson, Inc., to prepare the Feasibility Study, Financing Alternatives for Lino Lakes' Storm Water Management Program, to assist in identifying a dedicated and equitable means of funding the system. The study, completed in May, recommended the establishment of a Storm Water Utility. An informational brochure was mailed to all residents, which explained the rationale for instituting a storm water utility to adequately and equitably fund storm water management in Lino Lakes and meet NPDES requirements. Two open house informational meetings were held in July to explain the storm water utility concept and to receive questions and initial comments from the public. Mr. Andy Lamberson, a surface water management specialist with SEH, will be present at the meeting to provide an overview of the study, NPDES, and the mechanics of the proposed Storm Water Utility.

Reprinted with permission, from UMNnews, University of Minnesota. As gas prices inch higher, the search is on for renewable, plant - based fuels that don't require fertilizer or pesticides, which both require energy to produce. A solution may be at hand, from University ecologist David Tilman and two colleagues: Instead of growing a single fuel - source crop, grow many species together, because such plantations yield more total vegetation — and do it more reliably — than any growing just one species. The most cited ecologist in the world, Tilman has long been singing the praises of biodiversity, as the coexistence of many species is called. In May, he and two colleagues (University forest resources professor Peter Reich and Johannes Knops of the University of Nebraska) published a paper in the journal Nature in which they sum up 12 years of experiments at the University's Cedar Creek Natural History Area. The longest - running experiment of its kind, it shows unequivocally that plots of land with numerous species produce much more "biomass" and suffer less from fluctuations in productivity than plots with only one or a few species. This makes diverse plantings the likeliest candidates to drive the "bio" revolution. Think species diversity The paper is a call to everyone who wants to extract energy from biomass to start thinking in teens of species diversity. Biomass can be either burned for energy or refined to produce concentrated energy in the form of biofuels, such as ethanol, or synfuel gasoline and diesel. The greater the yield of biomass per acre, the better, and data from. Cedar Creek show that diverse plantings fill the bill. "Diverse prairie grasslands are 240 percent more productive than grasslands with a single prairie species," says Tilman, a Regents Professor of Ecology in the Continued on page 4 In this issue Presidents' columns 2, 3 Field trip 3 Art Hawkins 3 Hastings prairie 4 SE Minnesota sites 5 Mad dog skullcap 6 Arden Hills restoration 6 Membership form 7 From the president by Scott Milburn I would first like to start off by recognizing the great job done by our outgoing president, Jason Husveth. The Society has gained a good deal of momentum under Jason's leadership, focusing on exciting field trips, symposia, and monthly meetings, along with increasing membership numbers and revenue. Looking forward, it is important for the Society to keep focusing on what has led to this gain in interest while continuing to grow. The Society is dependent on the involvement of our membership. Many members have been stepping up in the past few years to lead field trips and organize a social hour before the monthly meetings. In the next year, we should look for ways to maintain our existing members, increase our membership, and increase committee involvement by the membership. We need to continue to offer our excellent services (programming and field trips), but we also need to modify how we deal with memberships. One idea that has been talked about for the past year at board meetings is to offer three -year memberships, rather than having to renew each year. Additionally, we need to look for ways to increase our membership numbers. One way that folks can help with this is to publicize the Society's monthly meetings by posting a list of meeting topics and times at your neighborhood plant nursery or grocery store. The Society must also increase committee involvement by the membership, including the Symposium Committee, Field Trip Committee, etc. This upcoming year's monhly programming, symposium, and field trips look very promising. I would like to thank Linda Huhn for the great job she has done organizing speakers for this upcoming year. The Symposium Committee is also starting to prepare for next year's meeting, with several potential topics, including the Prairie Coteau. Furthermore, it looks like another good year for field trips under the direction of Ken Arndt. In closing, I am looking forward to this opportunity to serve as the president of the Society and welcome input from our members.

From the former president by Jason Husveth, president, 2003 - 2006 Greetings members! I hope you are all enjoying Minnesota's native flora and wealth of natural areas during these warm summer months. I have had the honor of serving as your president for the past three years. With the help of an energized and talented board and enthusiastic members, we have accomplished a great deal in this time. I want to thank all of you for making my term as president so rewarding and, I hope, productive. As many of you may know, a new slate of officers was elected at the June 2006 board meeting. Scott Milburn will be taking over the reins of president, and I am certain he will excel in this role. Shirley Mali Kooyman was elected vice president, and her professional skills and considerable experience on the board will serve her and the society well. I am excited to see the new directions that our senior officers will take us. After several years on the board and serving as secretary, Karen Schik has stepped down to pursue and develop local conservation initiatives in her community. Among her many contributions, Karen has served as an invaluable resource on the board and has volunteered countless hours to planning our annual symposia for the past several years. I wish to thank Karen for her exceptional service to the society. She will be missed (and called upon in a pinch). Daniel Jones was elected as secretary and continues to offer his talents and passion to the society. Ron Huber will continue to serve as treasurer, and he and Cathy are doing a fine job at managing the society's assets and financial concerns. Ken Arndt continues to raise the bar with field trip planning and coordination, and will continue on the board. Sandy McCartney is working on developing an annual scholarship for Minnesota students. Many thanks to Gerry Drewry for keeping us on task with the quarterly newsletter, and to Linda Huhn for coordinating fantastic speakers and topics for our monthly meetings. It has been a pleasure to serve as your president for the past three years. I will continue serving on the board through 2007, and I look forward to helping the society grow well into the future. Thank you! Art Hawkins dies Conservationist Art Hawkins, 92, died on his property at Lake Amelia March 9. As a United States Fish and Wildlife manager in Minnesota, Hawkins developed many of the research protocols and waterfowl management plans used by the agency. He was a member of the Commissioners Advisory Committee to Scientific and Natural Areas for almost 20 years. Hawkins held a bachelor's degree from Cornell and a master's degree from the University of Wisconsin, where he worked under Aldo Leopold. He was one of Leopold's last surviving students. Like Leopold, Hawkins restored his land to a wildlife preserve. Hawkins placed some of the first nesting platforms for osprey on his land and kept a diary or journal about the property for nearly 50 years. The MN NPS has started a memorial fund for Art Hawkins. If you wish to contribute, make your check out to the Society, mark it for the Art Hawkins memorial, and mail it to Minnesota Native Plant Society, P.O. Box 20401, Bloomington, MN 55420.

Karen prepared the stewardship plan that has determined the course of action for efforts to return the coulee to its pre - settlement condition. Technically a sand - gravel prairie, this special place is home to several rare habitat types; endangered plant species including James' polanisia ( Polanisia jamesii), sea -beach needle grass (Aristida tuberculosa), and kittentail (Besseya bullii); and the threatened blue racer snake (Coluber constrictor). The 2.5- mile -long coulee is a former glacial stream valley identified by Minnesota County Biological Survey as one of the most biologically important sites in Dakota County. Space is limited. To register, contact Elizabeth at Friends of the Mississippi River, estorey @fmr.org or 651- 222 -2193, ext. 16. This event is free of charge.

"That means that if a plot with one or two plant species produces 100 pounds of vegetation a year, a plot with 16 species [the most diverse plots planted at Cedar Creek] will produce 340 pounds. This huge advantage comes when you plant numerous grasses and legumes and various prairie flowers together." Findings from Cedar Creek suggest that plantings of multiple species of prairie plants will produce fuels, such as ethanol, with greater net energy gains per acre than corn, soybeans, or even switchgrass, which has been touted as a promising source for biomass. But the higher energy gains aren't just from higher productivity. Diverse plantings require little or no inputs of fertilizer or pesticides, both of which require lots of energy to make and apply. Experiments now under way in Germany and the Netherlands are yielding similar effects of diversity on yields, says Tilman, even though they use totally different species. Also, because prairie plants are perennial, they would not have to be replanted year after year. Farmers would need only to mow their fields in the fall. Biomass could replace some coal If burned, biomass could replace some of the coal that now pumps carbon dioxide and mercury into the atmosphere. "You can bum prairie grass using the fluidized bed technology of existing coal -fired power plants, and can mix it in with coal," says Tilman. "The energy density of biomass is 60 to 70 percent that of coal. If power plants wanted to buy biomass and fanners wanted to grow it, it could happen, but it will take much work to get there." 4 Now that the value of biodiversity has been shown, the next step should be an economic analysis, says Tilman. It remains to be seen whether biomass farmers, along with energy producers and the people who transport biomass from one to the other, can each make money if they put the vision that he and his colleagues have into practice. For optimal results, each region of the country and the world would have to be studied to determine what mix of plant species would work best in that particular soil and climate. "In Minnesota, there are over a million acres of abandoned farmland in the Conservation Reserve Program," says Tilman. "That land is mainly planted with just a few grass species" and so may hold potential as a future site of biomass plantations. Planting more species should allow not only bigger yields of vegetation, but more predictable yields. As the Cedar Creek experiments show, yields of vegetation fluctuate less from season to season if the vegetation contains many species. This kind of reliability is important, because no one wants to see boom and bust years in the energy supply. "This paper suggests there might be an unsuspected benefit to restoring land to a more native condition," Tilman says. "Restoring land so it can produce biofuels is a new idea, but there are many reasons to do it. We need a stable and productive source of bioenergy. Biodiversity can give us this on abandoned agricultural land around the world, and it doesn't have to be just grasses. As we get away from fossil fuels, we're going to have to have a diversity of approaches." Plant sale results Treasurer Ron Huber reported net income from the June 2006 plant sale was $789. Non - auction plants sold for $749. Profit from the auctioned orchids was $40. The late Tim Wallace's trees brought in $73, which has been added to his memorial fund. Hastings turns industrial park into a prairie by Karen Schik A drive on Eddy St. from downtown Hastings to Lock and Dam Number Two used to include a drive past a series of petroleum storage tanks owned by Flint Hills Resources. In 1995, the tanks were removed and a portion of the land was given to the City of Hastings. What was once an unsightly industrial park is now being slowly transformed into mesic prairie through a native planting completed in 2003 by Friends of the Mississippi River (FMR). Although some Minnesotans are able to recognize the hallmark native plants of a wet prairie and meadow, others may only recognize the former tank farm as a grassy field. In an effort to raise consciousness of the area as a restoration site, the City of Hastings erected a sign welcoming visitors to the Hastings Nature Preserve. In the spring of 2006, a group of Hastings High School students, in partnership with the city and FMR, planted native grasses and forbs around the sign. Now a sign surrounded by beautiful native plants will highlight the area and attract visitors even more effectively. The project partners would like to thank the Minnesota Native Plant Society for the "Think Native" grant, which helped in purchasing the plant materials. This was a great educational project for the students and something they can take pride in every time they pass the park. Getting students and other community members to participate in restoring their local natural areas is one of the best ways to ensure long -term protection of such areas. Protecting native plants in southeastern Minnesota by Daniel Tix, biodiversity area review team leader, MN Chapter of the Society for Conservation Biology At this year's MN NPS annual symposium in April, we explored the incredible biological riches of the "land that glaciers forgot," the driftless area of southeastern Minnesota and adjacent portions of Wisconsin and Iowa. For native plant enthusiasts, this region is a treasure trove of rare species and interesting native plant communities. It is also a region whose management could significantly benefit from the input ofNative Plant Society members. In fact, there have been few better opportunities for those interested in native plant conservation to inform management decisions impacting rare plants and diverse native plant communities. In southeastern Minnesota, the County Biological survey highlighted 13 areas with biological values that merit special protection on state lands. Having been selected from 917 sites surveyed in six counties of southeastern Minnesota, these are truly exceptional areas for their large concentrations of rare species and highest quality examples of the rare native plant community types. These communities include moist, moderate cliffs, algific talus slopes, dry oak savanna, maple- basswood forest, and northern hardwood - conifer forest and occur on land already owned by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Rare plant species include false mermaid (Floerkea prosperpinacoides), goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis), Jame's sedge (Carex jamesii), and rough - seeded fameflower (Talimum rugospermum) . As part of regional forest management planning, the DNR is writing plans to guide management of these areas. The draft plans have proposed such management activities as timber harvest, prescribed burns, and set aside of small areas around rare species. In some cases, especially in the forested communities, proposed management will unduly jeopardize the quality of some of the highest quality native plant communities in the region. The public comment period on these management plans presents a significant opportunity for MN NPS members to voice support for strong protection of native plant species and communities. Voicing support is as easy as reading an 8- to 12 -page draft management plan and writing a comment letter during the 30 -day public comment period. Unlike many other issues, these plans receive few comments, so each letter can be very important. Six plans have already been completed, but seven are still to be released for public comment. If you are interested in reviewing these plans, go to www.dnr.state.mn.us /forestry/ subsection /blufflands /index.html From this link, you can e -mail Jon Nelson and ask to be notified about the public comment period for each high biodiversity area management plan in southeastern Minnesota.

It teaches you, does Botany, To know the plants and spotany, And learn just why They live or die — In case you plant or potany. You learn, from reading Botany, Of wooly plants and cottony That grow on earth, And what they're worth, And why some spots have notany. You sketch the plants in Botany, You learn to chart and plotany Like corn or oats — You jot down notes, If you know how to jotany.

Bluffland management guide is available Conserving Your Blufflands, a management guide for the St. Croix River bluffs, has been completed by Great River Greening ecologists. Its goal is to help decision - makers and landowners conserve the bluffs' ecological value and beauty and help halt the decline of the water quality. Great River Greening developed the guide under a contract with the Minnesota DNR. It will be distributed by the DNR and the National Park Service in the St. Croix Valley. Copies are available through the DNR Information Center, 651- 296 -6157 or 888 -MINN DNR, and from Deb Gagner at Great River Greening, 651- 665 -9500, ext. 10, or dgagner@greatrivergreening.org 5 Plant Lore Restoration of Arden Hills site studied by Thor Kommedahl What is mad -dog skullcap? Mad -dog skullcap is Scutellaria lateriflora, a Minnesota native plant in the mint family. How did it get its names? It was reported in the 1770s as a cure for rabies; hence, the name mad - dog. Scullcap refers to the flower shape, which resembles a helmet with the visor raised. Scutellaria means dish, referring to the pouch on the fruiting calyx. Lateriflora refers to the one -sided flower racemes borne in leaf axils. Where does the plant grow? It grows in moist woods, meadows, and swampy areas throughout the state. What do plants look like? They are perennials; one to three feet tall; paired, opposite, toothed leaves on four -sided stems; and have slender rhizomes. Its blue (sometimes, pink, violet, or white) flowers appear in one -sided racemes from leaf axils (distinguished from common skullcap which has a single bloom in the axil). It flowers from July to September. Has it any medicinal value? Its use for rabies treatment has since been discredited; however, plants contain scutellarin, a flavonoid with sedative and antispasmodic properties. It has been used for treatment of epileptic seizures. Skullcap was once listed in the US Pharmacopeia and the National Formulary for treatment of nervous disorders. Is it poisonous? Not likely. Where cases of toxicity have been reported, the poisoning has been attributed to adulterants such as wood sage added to commercial supplies of skullcap. 6 by Wade J. Hammer, wetland ecologist, Svoboda Ecological Resources. This is an abstract of his talk at the April 6 meeting. The Arden Hills Army Training Site (AHATS) is a 1,786 -acre military installation in Arden Hills, Minn. It is located in Township 30N, Range 23W, within Sections 9, 10, 15, and 16 in Ramsey County. The Original Land Survey, completed in the late 1800s, makes note of bur oak and white oak woodlands, with some tamarack swamps in the low areas in the approximate vicinity of the property. Thirty home sites were displaced when the land was purchased in 1941 by the federal government for use as a military installation. The majority of the construction at the site began prior to World War II. Active munitions production took place there for 22 years, through the Vietnam War. At its peak, 26,000 people were employed as part of the military munitions facility. Due to the industrial use of the site and the solvents discarded on the property, it was listed as a superfund site in 1983. Clean-up of remnants of the industrial production at the site continues. Tallgrass prairie restoration projects have occurred at the AHATS since the early 1990s. As part of a masters of science project, a study assessing the relationships among management (seeding and burning), vegetation, and environmental factors (soil, aspect, and slope) was completed. The study included completion of 75 vegetation surveys, consisting of three random plots in 25 purposively placed grids. The surveys consisted of cover class data for all plant species. The surveys were completed twice during the summer of 2002 (late June /early July and mid - August). Multivariate statistical analyses of the vegetation survey data revealed relationships between vegetation and soil texture, vegetation and shallow depth to ground water (within one meter), and individual plant species and fire frequency. The intended use of the findings is to improve management of designated tallgrass prairie restoration sites at the AHATS. Pale or cream gentian This is a summary of the April 6 Plant -of -the -Month talk by Wade J. Hammer Gentiana flavida, pale or cream gentian, grows one to three feet tall and is typically unbranched. The leaves and stems are yellowish -green and glabrous; the flowers are cream or white. It is found in moist prairies and open woodlands in the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes states. Pale gentian flowers in late summer to early fall, and bumblebees are its primary pollinators. Its small seeds are dispersed by wind and water. Bob Djupstrom retires as head of SNA program Bob Djupstrom retired March 2 as head of the Scientific and Natural Areas Program. He led it for 24 of its 33 years and oversaw the acquisition of 125 of its 140 sites. The program now encompasses 184,635 acres — more protected acreage than any other state. In the SNA newsletter, Bob sent "an open thank you to the many folks who volunteered their time and energy to the SNA program over the years. I hope the cadre of volunteers out there will continue, will expand, and take an even greater interest in preserving our existing sites as well as assisting in having new sites established." • • Hastings High School, Oakdale receive grants by Karen Schik The Minnesota Native Plant Society has awarded two Think Native Grants. Hastings High School Biology Class A $200 grant was awarded to Joe Beattie's biology class for the purchase of native plants to install in a prairie planting at the entrance to the Hastings River Flats Park. Beattie's students have worked on a lakeshore planting at the same location in the past two years, as well as other restoration projects in Hastings. As part of a class project, they installed prairie plants at the site entrance and will return to help weed and water them over the next year. The City of Hastings will maintain Nature exhibits at Bell Museum Botanical art and Jim Brandenburg's prairie photos are featured in exhibits at the Bell Museum of Natural History, University of Minnesota. "Bloom," an exhibit of botanical art, will be on display at the museum through Aug. 27. It features, approximately 60 drawings, paintings, prints, books, botanical models, and fine crafts from public and private collections. "Bloom" includes magnificent hand - colored prints and books from the golden era ofbotanical art in the 18th century; stunning botanical wall charts, beautiful in themselves and an important means of teaching plant science; and contemporary drawings and paintings that exemplify the living traditions of botanical art as well as imaginative interpretations of plants and ecosystems. the planting in the long term. Friends of the Mississippi River, which has conducted the restoration work at the park since 2003, will manage the grant and oversee the project. City of Oakdale The City of Oakdale received the leftover plants from the plant sale and will receive the leftover seed from the seed exchange to be used at their restoration sites. They will utilize them to enhance the public wetland buffer areas adjacent to the community streetscape projects and/ or as ground cover materials in their buckthorn removal areas. The contact person is Ron Rogstad, administrative services director, City of Oakdale. "Touch the Sky," an exhibit of Jim Brandenburg's photos of the American prairie, will be displayed from Oct. 1 — Dec. 31. This exhibit is a tribute to the vistas and creatures that live in the tallgrass prairies of Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa and North and South Dakota.
