<br />drainage, prior to the buildup of the Portage Way Second Addition, flowed into the
<br />pond between Portage Way and the single family units to the West of Portage Way.
<br />At any rate, during construction of Portage Way units and continuing to this day,
<br />water has been pumped out of excavated foundations and into the stonn sewers, and
<br />subsequently into the pond across Dupre Rd. from the site; and silt fencing has not
<br />been maintained and sediment continues to cover the sidewalk and Dupre Rd-. and
<br />feed into the stann sewer. We believe that there was not adequate engineering
<br />inspection of this project as it has evolved (as provided for in the Development
<br />Contract). Request that the city review the origitud engineering plansfor
<br />verificotion of grading and drainage ptl1"fl1fleters of the Portage Way addition;
<br />insure that the addition is properly graded and proper drainage from the wetland is
<br />accommodated; and immediately enforce such provisions of the development
<br />contract as wiH stop on-going sediment spillage from the construction site onto the
<br />street and sidewalks of Dupre Rd. (i.e., require within 24 hours the replacement of
<br />blown down silt fencing and the sweeping of Dupre Rd. and Portage Way).
<br />
<br />d. Dredging of the Pond behind 7042 and 7050 Dupre Rd. Per correspondence with
<br />~ Rice Creek Watershed District (Attachment D), the developer needs to dredge this
<br />J pvX ."'-- pond to its' original depths. This action has been necessitated, in large part, by the
<br />twJJ( I ~~ sediment, debris, dirt, etc., from the Portage Way drainage that has been pumped into
<br />. . ~t)~.. Q ~ j;yJ 1;) the pond during the development of the 2d Addition (portage Way) (See photos,
<br />'f.Y~- \)J~ ~F' (t) Attachment F). While the Rice Creek Watershed District indicates it will provide
<br />~~ ~tJf~ final inspection and is holding surety from the developer, request the City's assistance
<br />~ niP{;).~' Lf1.V and endorsement to the developer of the need to dredge this pond. Request whether or
