T�e permit to do the work was �From the U.S. Fish and <br />Wildlife Serv�.ce. The Army is still ana].yzing the samples. After the data �From analyzing the <br />samples is compiled, a report an t�te data wili be produced and the report will be shared with <br />MPCA. After the report �.s re�iewed, the Army antica.pates getting direction fror� MPCA and EPA <br />to da a feasibility repor� on remedies and possi.ble action plans to implement gi�en the <br />env�ronmental conditz.on of Round Lake. <br />The Army wo�ald like the end result ta be that they could dredge the la[ce to remove PCB's and <br />heavy metals. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife 5ervzce would li�Ce to see a more natural habit and <br />�egetation co�erage a� Round lake. The Army and U.S. fish and Wil�l�.fe Service disagree on <br />the "ra.sks" associated with a dredging project. 7he Army and the U.S. F�sh and 1�ildlife <br />Servzce disagree fln what the best course of action shou�d be for the future of Round Laice. <br />�n about 6 months, after a feasibility study is completecl, there will be a Pubiic Input <br />process. The EDA will make the �inal decision on the preferred retnedy and action plan. <br />Disclaimer: the Mayor and Council should nate �hat this is my interpretation of what Mike <br />said and that sometimes l�iice gets a li�t�le too "technical" for me �rom an env�ronmental point <br />of �iew. <br />Patrick Klaers <br />City Adminzs�rator <br />City o# Arden Hi�ls <br />1245 W.
