A public meeting will be held for the Peltier Lake Drawdown project. The meeting will be held <br />on Wednesday, August 16, 2017 5:00pm at Wargo Nature Center (7701 Main Street, Lino <br />Lakes, MN). Details of the proposed project will be presented by the Rice Creek Watershed <br />District; public comments will be welcome. The goals of the proposed project are to manage <br />invasive plants and improve water clarity on Peltier Lake. <br />A drawdown was attempted on Peltier Lake during the fall and early winter of 2016. <br />Unfortunately, due to record -high precipitation, water level drawdown was not possible. We <br />are proposing to conduct the exact process again in 2017. We propose to begin the drawdown <br />in mid-September. Assuming typical precipitation levels, we hope to achieve the target <br />drawdown level of approximately 2.5 feet in mid-November. Water levels will be held at the <br />drawdown level until ice -out in spring. At that time, we anticipate lake levels to return to <br />normal within a week. <br />This notice, as well as the Public Meeting, are required by the Minnesota Department of <br />Natural Resources to obtain a permit to conduct the drawdown. Unlike last year, landowner <br />signatures will not be required to obtain the permit. <br />Contact the Rice Creek Watershed District (763-398-3070, mkocian@ricecreek.org) with any <br />questions. <br />Pheasant <br />AW <br />MAUI <br />FE-1111-1VOI <br />14,�'FMNIV 1 1 r 1 l 3 a 0 1 0 <br />
