GRASS LAKE WATER <br />MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION <br />2660 Civic Center Drive .Roseville, Minnesota .55113 <br />April 4, 2000 <br />Mr. Dan Schacht <br />Acting Ramsey County Engineer <br />3377 N. Rice Street <br />St. Paul, MN 55126 <br />RE: SPRING STREET SWEEPING <br />Dear Mr. Schact: <br />The Grass Lake Watershed Management Organization (GLWMO) operates as a joint <br />powers organization to manage water resources in a portion of the Cities of Shoreview <br />and Roseville in Ramsey County. Major water bodies within the GLWMO include Lake <br />Owasso, Lake Wabasso, Snail Lake and Grass Lake. Our Board, at its March 23, 2000 <br />meeting, discussed the importance of ongoing city maintenance programs -- especially <br />street sweeping. <br />The GLWMO would like to thank Ramsey County for your efforts to complete street <br />sweeping as early as possible each spring. The early 2000 spring was a surprise to many <br />of us and required modification of many normal maintenance schedules. The GL WMO <br />Board wishes to emphasize the importance of timely street sweeping to local water <br />quality and ask that you give this activity the highest priority each spring. It is important <br />that we collect as much sand, dirt and debris before it reaches our lakes, ponds and <br />wetlands. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! <br />Again, thank you for you commitment to environmental protection efforts in Ramsey <br />County. The GLWMO understands the importance of intergovernmental cooperation to <br />water resource management and looks forward to future partnerships with Ramsey <br />County. <br />Sincerely, <br />•~/~~~ • <br />Karl P. Keel <br />GLWMO Technical Staff <br />
