You had used a bobcat to remove <br />the upland vegetation, but had gone into the water to try to remove some stumps at the shoreline. <br />As we discussed, Department of Natural Resources (DNR) pernuts are required for lakebed <br />alterations. <br />You agreed to install a silt fence around the disturfied area and maintain it until the area is established <br />with vegetation. Even though you only have aten-foot easement, you disturbed fifty feet of <br />shoreline. I am enclosing a brochure that descnbes the sand blanket requirements. <br />The City ofRosevdle does have a shoreland ordinance and you should check with them to make sure <br />they do not require permits for the grading and removal of vegetation. <br />We also discussed that there are benefits for the lake ecology, plus for discouraging goose use of <br />property, if an unmowed buffer is maintained next to the Lakeshore. <br />You agreed to restore the area in a timely fashion. The DNR will not be pursuing further action as <br />long as t<~:e restoration proceeds. IL~yeu have any fi,:rther questions, please contact me at 772- 7910. <br />Sincerely, C <br />~~~' v ~° <br />Molly ~Shodeen <br />Area Hydrologist <br />MCS/kl <br />c: City of Roseville, Dennis Welch <br />,~ata~ss Lake Water Management Organization <br />Conservation Officer Brad Johnson <br />DNR information: 51?-_y6-61~,.
