After the last meeting of the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCMP) Reutilization <br /> I Committee on July 15, I received several calls from citizens concerned about statements made <br /> regarding the PepaJtment ofNaturaJ Resources' (ONR) interest (or lack of interest) in assisting in <br /> ptotecting the significant natural resources ofTCAAP, in the future, through the establishment of <br /> I '" park reserve or similar rcsource protection and recreational use area. <br /> . I was not at the meeting, so I'm unclear as to what may have been said, however, J W(luld like to <br /> I-.~.. clarifY the DNR' s position -- we have been and remain committed to the protection and <br /> enhancement of TCAAP's valuable natural resources. <br /> Both Joan Galli and Roger Johnson, from the PNR, have discussed significant natural resources <br /> I matters with the commiuee at past meetings. Additionally, there have been discussions about the <br /> DNR working with another entity, such as Ramsey County Parks, to jointly managc a resc,ve <br /> area. The DNR has been and remains intercsted in working with the committee on a <br /> I < recommendation which will ensure the protection of TCAAP' s outstanding natural resourccs. <br /> Please feel free to call upon Roger Johnson, DNR Regional Wildlife Manager, or me If you or the <br /> I committee would like further information on our position or assistance in developing a resource <br /> protection and management proposal. <br /> I Sincerely, <br /> ~/;iJ <br /> I , Kathleen A.
