Dear Mr. Smith:
In your letter of February 19, you point out the problems of sewage
disposal in connection with the proposed Guardian Angela school in
East Oakdale township. We have been told that there will be a special
type drain field installed for this school which has been approved by
your department.
In complete agreement with the thoughts of your letter, our Town Board,
Planning committee, and residents of East Oakdale believe that sewage
disposal is the major pro1lem we face in the long range development of
our area. For this reason we have employed the firm of Bonestroo,
Rosette & Associates to make a preliminary survey of our Township so
that they can tell us what our ultimate sewerage system will look like.
Our township is in such an early stage o£ development that we do not
expect to install any sewer mainsimmediately, but a knowledge of where
they will ultimately be and what the problems will be should have a pro-
found effect on our planning and development.
As regards the Guardian Angela school, there is a possibility, based op
topographical considerations, of some day having a sewer main from the
center of our Township south through Woodbury and Cottage Grove Town-
ships •and thence to the Mississippi. Woodbury has talked about this, and
we want to be in a position to cooperate if and when they take any action.
If you have any further thoughts on this matter we would certainly like to
hear of them.
Sincerely yours,
W. E. Lundquist

Dear Mr. Edinan:
It has occurred to us that you may wish to know that East Oakdale
Township in Washington County considers the problems of sewage
disposal to be a major factor in the long range development of our
area.
Accordingly, we have engaged Bonestroo, Rosene & Associates to
make a study and lay out a sewerage system plan for us. We do
not contemplate putting in any sewer mains in the immediate future,
but a knowledge of where they will ultimately be should be of great
assistance to us in the planning and development of our Township.
Yours very truly
