MINNESOTA <br />SOIL AND WATER <br />June 20, 1980 <br />RAMSEY SOIL * WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT <br />CONSERVATION DISTRICTS <br />MEd -America Bank Building <br />1827 North Saint Paul Road <br />Maplewood, Minnesota 55109 <br />Telephone (612) 777-0127 <br />TO: Supervisors, Ramsey Soil and Water Conservation District <br />FROM: Rod Hunter, Conservation Technician 9P.#-. <br />SUBJECT: Review of DNR Application for Permit to Work in Public Waters, <br />Oak Lake Park Addition, Mo mds View. #80-6258. <br />The applicant, M. and E. Development, Inc, proposes to excavate a stormwater <br />pond in a wetland area to reduce downstream discharge rates during major run- <br />off events. The proposed excavation will increase pond size and decrease <br />emergent wetlands vegetation. Map 1 shows the location of the proposed <br />project. <br />The following remarks correspond to the items on the attached evaluation <br />sheet. <br />1. Soil types and topographic features : <br />The soils information contained herein is from the soil survey of Ramsey <br />County. It is general in nature and should be used for planning purposes. <br />Where specific uses are proposed for specific sites, a professional soil <br />scientist should be consulted. Man 2 is a soils map of the project area. <br />The area of proposed pond excavation consists of the following soils (see <br />attached soils map): <br />Seelyeville Truck is a level, very poorly drained organic soil. It occurs <br />in bogs on plane or slightly concave side slopes on outwash plains and <br />moraines. This soil is subject to flooding by runoff from adjacent <br />steeper mineral soils. <br />- Good potential for wetland wildlife habitat. <br />- Poorly suited to building site development. <br />- Subject to settling,is highly compressi.ble,and has law bulk density. <br />- Depth of organic material is greater than 51 inches. <br />Markey muck is a level, very poorly drained organic soil. It is in small <br />depressions or on fringes of large bogs on outwash plains. The soil is <br />subject to flooding by runoff from adjacent rmre sloping soils. <br />- Good potential for wetland wildlife habitat. <br />- Poorly suited to building site development. <br />AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER <br />
