Monthly Enforcement Report During April, seven notices were issued to address the following violations on permit sites: repair silt fence (4), install overflow swale (1), remove silt fence (1), re-seed stormwater detention pond (1}, and sweep streets (1). WCA enforcement issues: ® Street sweepings have been deposited at the old Maplewood landfill site, which impacted a wetland on the site. The City of Maplewood will be working with the District to obtain a grading permit, and they will hire a consultant to conduct a wetland delineation of the site. Bailey Nursery was notified of a wetland filling violation on their property, and they are voluntarily removing the fill. S. PROJECT STATUS REPORTS CIP Maintenance/Repairs 2002 Battle Creek Pipe Inspection: Tunnel inspection cannot be safely performed until late fall of 2002, but in the meantime, Barr Engineering staff conducted a surface inspection to address sinkholes reported in the vicinity of the pipe alignment. A sinkhole- that was first reported at the November 2001 meeting did not appear to be related to the condition of the pipe. Another sinkhole has reformed after being filled during the District's 1996 pipe repair project. Staff recently observed groundwater. flowing out from it. Jay Brothers has been directed to fill the sinkholes to reduce risk to park users, and throughout the summer, staff will monitor their condition after high flow periods. Suburban Pond Inlet Pipeline Repair Jack Frost has reviewed the City of St. Paul's Annual Phase I Stormwater Report and raised discussion about their willingness to cooperate with the District to reduce upstream sediment volumes before they reach Suburban Pond. Both managers and staff agreed that the next Watershed Management Plan needs to spell out specific requirements that will enable cities to comply with issues like this. Cliff Aichinger noted that street sweeping issues, for example, will be discussed in greater detail with cities during NPDES Phase II implementation. Louise Watson may be able to use future E-Team workshops to assist cities in identifying the problems that hinder compliance with District. and local watershed management plan goals. Beltline Outlet Structure Improvements Lametti & Sons met again with Ban Engineering to pursue claims that were denied by Board action on March 6, 2002. They have reduced their claim for grade beam adjustment work from $3,667.00 to $2,800.00. Barr's estimate for the work is between $1500 and $1800. Motion: Paul Ellefson moved, Roger Lake seconded, to pay an additional $2800 to Lametti & Sons for grade beam adjustment work on the Beltline Outline Structure Improvements Project. Motion carried. The Board was also informed that discolored water and is present in the pool below the new outfall structure. Lab results indicate high concentrations of total iron and low concentrations of dissolved iron.. This is not a hazardous situation and is most likely attributable to the release of iron from subsurface soil layers during excavation activity. Staff expects the problem to correct itself when a storm event can flush through the overflow. Page 2 May 1, 2002 RWMWD Minutes
