LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING, JUNE 17, 1980 -3- LEGION POND: Mottaz stated the City is obligated to take some type of action, Morgan agreed; and, suggested the 'Valley Branch should have specific cost figures on drilling test wells. Morgan and Mottaz do not feel filling is an option; dredging is a consideration, provided the pond is sealed above the water table. Should this not be feasible, pumping is the only other approach. If the City does not want to expend the money to determine if dredging is feasible, then permits and easement should be secured and pumping beg6n. The Administrator cautioned the Council that the Ishgineer.advised the soils between Legion Pond and Lake Elmo could still form a connection and dredging the pond could cause it to raise.
