Therefore, a waiver of the filling prohibition for a <br />roadway is hereby granted, and the issued permit for this project is enclosed. <br />Permit No. 97-6136 authorizes placement of fill for the reconstruction of Highway 96. The required <br />mitigation involves the creation of stormwater treatment areas adjacent to the roadway. Mitigation for the .17 <br />acres at Snail Lake shall be mitigated on Ramsey County park land. Detailed plans for this mitigation shall <br />be submitted by July 30, 1997. <br />Please note Special Provision Nos. 1 and 2 in particular. Past projects on Highway 96 have generated <br />considerable concern by area residents as to the effectiveness of erosion control practices during construction. <br />Please advise any contractor(s) that such practices will be monitored and that failure to install and maintain <br />such controls will be deemed a violation of this permit. <br />Please also note Special Provision Nos. 8 and 9 which. apply to the mitigation. In addition, if there is any <br />possibility of establishing some parking spaces at Sucker Creek for shore anglers, please contact Area <br />Fisheries Manager Dave Zappetillo at 772-7950 for further discussion. <br />D~~R fnfnrm:uion: bl'-~~)~i-(~I~?.
