B. An estimate of the actual cost effectiveness of the technique as compared to the alternative of removing sediment delta's from wetlands in sites with poor access. C. A critique on the compatibility of the design of the siltsack as it relates to the typical catch-basin designs in use in Minnesota. D. Any specific recommendations on how and when the product should be used especially with regards to avoidance of system failure during heavy rainfalls. E. Presentation of a paper discussing the merits and usage of the product at a conference on water resources or the annual conference for city engineers and public works directors. The Board of Water and Soil Resources and the Ramsey County Soil and Water Conservation District both strongly endorse the testing of the product for the feasibility of its use in Minnesota's urban areas. Both agencies believe that, in certain situations, the product has the potential to be an effective means to significantly reduce sedimentation of wetlands and lakes during a very critical stage of a typical land development scenario. PART III. -DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT Project Area = 120 acres Project Population = 39,000 (population of Roseville) Type of Targeted Population = City Engineers, City Inspectors, Elected Officials, Contractors, Developers, WMO Officials Project is not in the Minnesota River Basin, but favorable results from this project could be readily applied in any urban development in the Minnesota River Basin. PART IV. -PROJECT O P June, 1995 - Install Siltsacks on School District residential development and. June, 1995 to -Monitor installations and clean out as required.. Installations must be August, 1996 checked after each significant rainfall and monthly during winter months. Some sacks will have to be removed during winter months to assure ice backup doesn't occur. Sept., 1996. - Development of a report Jan., 1997 - Presentation of report to engineering or water resource conference.
