that will build up credits that they can apply towards their own construction projects. It is possible that the proposed berm project alongside I-494 may qualify. 6 • PROJECT STATUS REPORTS CIP and Waterway Maintenance Discussion was held on the June 29 public meeting regarding the Tanners Lake Water Level Study. Starting next week, on-site meetings will be arranged with the homeowners of seven of the eight properties identified as non-conforming to the Watershed Management Plan's floodproofing standards. Cliff Aichinger and Brad Lindaman will identify reasonable options and associated costs for each property, and then determine whether it is cost-efficient based on the value of each structure. Relative to the eighth parcel, the City of Landfall is proposing to demolish the vacant buildings at 61 Aspen Way and raise the lot elevation. They have proposed acost-sharing arrangement for the fill material at an approximate cost to the District of $12,000. Discussion was held on the effectiveness of imposing lake use limitations on Tanners Lake, such as boat size or speed limits, and closing lake access during periods of high water. Cliff Adch~nger stated that the City of Oakdale may need to adopt an ordinance. The District will help coordinate a meeting of the involved cities and agencies. Louise Watson will be contacting the Washington County Sheriff to find out what process has to be followed. Discussion was also held on the results of a soil test report, copies of which were distributed at the Board meeting. This report was prepared by Soil Science Department interns who surveyed the Battle Creek Lake and Tanners Lake watersheds last year as part of the Clean Lakes Study. At least one sail sample was taken in every drainage area for a total of 98 samples, and high to very high phosphorus levels were found in all but one sample. This information builds a strong case that phosphorus is not required in lawn fertilizers within this watershed, and this message will be built into the educational materials that Louise Watson will start to distribute in mailings to city residents.

McKnight Basin Sediment Removal Cliff reported that Ramsey County is proposing to construct a waterpark on the east side of the McKnight Picnic area, just south of Crestview Drive.
