~ Minutes of Regular Council Meeting, July 8, 1985 Page seven In discussion of Kalitowski's letter from MN Pollution Control Agency, Woodburn noted some mis-statements relative to the clarity of the lake; noted that he met with Weidenbacher and Petrangelo (RCWD) and was informed that the only funds available were those acted on a few weeks ago; RCWD has no plans for other major improvements to the RCWD system. Woodburn referred to report to RCWD re Long Lake water quality as the result of 1984 injection with calcium nitrite; noted that a long-time study is not available relative to its effectiveness. . Locey described a bad run-off problem at the north end of Lake Josephine at the access creek; reported that the lake is very shallow and not navigable in this area; advised that, if this part of the lake is deleted from the lake acreage, the lake consists of fewer than 100 acres of navigable waters. Locey said the more boats allowed on the lake, the more erosion will occur, decreasing the size of the lake. Locey said there are more weeds this year, but ,the water quality is better; noted there is' a "zoo" on Lexington Avenue now in the beach area; feels a boat access will only damage the lake; said it is not in the interest of Arden Hills to do this. Council concurred that Woodburn write to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and relay the concerns of Council relative to Lake Josephine and re- quest that the Ditch 4 and Oasis Pond projects be separated from the Lake Josephine project.
