<br />~ STATE OF RECEIVED NOV 3 1992 <br />~~rn~@lT'~ <br />. DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES <br /> <br />500 LAFAYEnE ROAD, ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA 55155-4037 <br />OFFICE OF THE DNR INFORMATION <br />COMMISSIONER 16121296.6157 <br /> <br /> <br />October 29, 1992 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The Honorable Paul Wellstone <br />United states Senator <br />123 Hart Senate Office Building <br />Washington, D.C. 20510 <br /> <br />Subject: TRANSFER OF THE TWIN CITIES ARMY AMMUNITION <br />PLANT (TCAAP) <br /> <br />Dear Senator Wellstone: <br /> <br />I am writing to you about the possible transfer of the <br />TCAAP property. It is our understanding that the city of <br />Arden Hills has requested that you draft special <br />legislation to transfer portions or all of the TCAAP <br />property to the, city. I would like to suggest that we <br />. cooperatively explore all state and local interests before <br />you proceed with such legislation. <br /> <br />The Department of Natural Resources has been assisting <br />TCAAP in managing the natural resources of this property <br />since 1967. We have been involved in management of <br />wildlife habitat, including threatened species, fisheries <br />projects, forestry practices, wetland protection, <br />groundwater protection and have also been supportive of <br />TCAAP's efforts in prairie restoration. Portions of this <br />property contain outstanding natural resource values and <br />wise stewardship of those resources is in the public <br />interest. <br /> <br />Federal laws and policy mandate that use of surplus <br />federal property be offered first to governmental units <br />representing the citizens of the entire state rather than <br />one portion of the citizens. Such policy should not be <br />altered without careful consideration of the needs and <br />interests of all the citizens and governmental units of <br />the state. This property represents a unique and <br />potentially valuable parcel in the metropolitan area. <br />Careful coordination is needed to ensure that the public <br />receives the minimum risk from environmental contamination <br />sources as well as the maximum beneficial use of this land. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />. <br />, I Ie " i\ , It <br />' .. .- -. . .. -, ,-~ <br />-- ~\-'~ tL.
