<br />Re: <br /> <br />Roseville City Council <br />Neal Beets <br />Thursday, May 12, 2005 <br /> <br />Agenda Item 9.d <br /> <br />To: <br />From: <br />Date: <br /> <br />The environmental status of Langton Lake and the Twin Lakes project area is largely <br />unchanged: <br /> <br />1. State law still does not authorize the City of Roseville, or similar cities, to adopt <br />or enforce environmental pollution clean-up standards within the city. This <br />responsibility and authority remains under the jurisdiction of federal, state, and <br />watershed agencies. <br /> <br />2. The government agencies with legal authority to adopt and enforce pollution and <br />environmental authority within Roseville - namely, the federal EP A, Minnesota <br />PCA, Mimlesota DNR, and Rice Creek Watershed District -- are not currently <br />requiring Twin Lakes' property owners to undertake any pollution clean-up <br />activity. <br /> <br />3. lfthe Twin Lakes' property is sold and redeveloped for non-trucking uses, <br />Rottlund has indicated it will agree to clean-up the property to whatever standard <br />required by the EP A, MPCA, DNR, and Watershed District - including all <br />applicable impaired waters requirements. To that end, Rottlund through its <br />consultants continues to work on an environmental assessment workplan for <br />MPCA review and approval. With an approved assessment workplan, Rottlund <br />could also develop an action plan they would carry out after MPCA review and <br />approval. <br /> <br />4. It is still anticipated that Langton Lake (as well as the adjacent Twin Lakes' <br />property) will be significantly cleaner after Rottlund redevelops Twin Lakes than <br />it is now, and that Langton Lake (as well as the adjacent Twin Lakes' property) <br />will be significantly cleaner than it would be ifthere were no redevelopment and <br />Langton Lake were to remain the endpoint for untreated runoff from the currently <br />contaminated adjacent uses. <br />
