CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
AUTHORIZING BARR ENGINEERING COMPANY TO PERFORM PHASE 1 SEDIMENT
SAMPLING FOR SILVER VIEW POND
WHEREAS, the City of Mounds View must manage, operate, and maintain the
stormwater system in a manner to reduce the discharge of pollutants "to the maximum
extent practicable" for compliance with the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4)
general permit and Clean Water Act; and
WHEREAS, Silver View Pond provides stormwater treatment and flood protection for
a drainage area of approximately 146 acres; and
WHEREAS, Barr Engineering Company performed a sediment survey of Silver View
Pond in 2011/2012 and determined that approximately 38% of the originally excavated pond
volume (permanent pool volume), or 45,335 cubic yards, is filled with sediment deposits and
is estimated to cost approximately $997,363 to $2,040,062 to remove and dispose; and
WHEREAS, the cost for sediment removal and disposal is heavily influenced by the
level of contamination in the sediment deposits and knowing the extent of sediment
contamination will allow the City to budget for the inevitable removal of the sediment from
Silver View Pond; and
WHEREAS, Barr Engineering Company provided a letter proposal to perform initial
(phase 1) sediment sampling and assessment for Silver View Pond.
