Ayes—5 Nays—0 Motion carried. • G. Resolution 7838, Authorizing Barr Engineering Company to Perform a Sediment Survey and Prepare an Evaluation Report for Silver View Pond. Public Works Director DeBar commented Silver View Pond was a key pond in the City's stormwater system. He stated the pond was excavated in 1982 and was 9.3 acres in water surface area. The pond provided stormwater storage for the developments in this area with three bays offering sediment removal. He indicated the pond also provided flood protection. Public Works Director DeBar explained the MPCA requires that stormwater ponds be surveyed when a pond is suspected of reaching 50% of its storage capacity. He explained the last study on this pond was completed in 1989. The report came back stating the pond was functioning fine. However, the pond was now closer to 30 years in age and may need to be dredged. Given the age of the pond, Staff recommended Barr Engineering Company perform a sediment survey and prepare an evaluation report for Silver View Pond. This information would provide the City with an assessment of how the pond was functioning. Council Member Mueller questioned how much the additional core samples may cost the City. Public Works Director DeBar stated after the sediment survey was completed, the PCA has requirements on how core sample were to be taken. He noted dredging estimator would also be included in the evaluation report. Finance Director Peer asked if the City had any other alternatives to dredging the pond. Public Works Director DeBar felt the pond would have to be dredged but snow removal practices and • construction silt fences would assist in keeping the pond more clear going into the future.
