Rose: <br />This letter shall servdeto confirm the results of our rieetinq on Friday, <br />September 26, 1980, including Jerry Sunde/ Pete Willenbring, ,Rice Creek <br />Watershed District, and Dan Loxrud, Short -Elliott -Hendrickson, <br />The Department of Natural Resources (DM?) supports leaving wetlands in <br />their natural state. Aowever, we are willing to accept changes which <br />would enhance a public purpose (in this case, increase storm water re- <br />tention) as long as these changes are the 'minimal inpact• solution <br />(Minnesota Code of Agency Rules, 6 MCU 6 1.5033 D.I.c.). The original <br />puns for this project did not present the mininal impact solution in <br />that catch of the aquatic vegetation would have been removed, and hence <br />wildlife habitat ;mold have been ninimal. <br />The revised plan, as discussed at Frdday's neeting, seems to be a practical <br />give-and-take solution in that the present storage will be increased (we <br />suggest 50 a.f.), the outfdioav velocity will be decreased (to 1C cfs) ,and <br />much of the wildlife habitat will be preserved. The proposed excavated <br />corridors could also serve al attractive canoe trails. <br />Should a se,dnnJng beach be ddsired at the northwest end of the pond, :oe <br />Mould prefer that the city apply separately and far enough in the future SG <br />to allow reevaluat6m based on water quality, etc., resulting from the <br />current project. <br />Please feel free to call tie should your have any further que:5tions. <br />cc: Jerry Sundt? <br />Peter Willenbrin g, <br />Liars Bossud, S.E.H. <br />Sincerely,, <br />Judy Davidson <br />Hydrologist <br />Rice Creek WSD <br />
