<br />December 7, 2005 <br />Mr. Travis Germundson <br />DNR Waters <br />1200 Warner Road <br />St. Paul, MN 55106 <br />Re: Permit for excavation of storm water pond (DNR #63w) in Shoreview <br />City of Shoreview Project <br />Dear Travis: <br />The City of Shoreview proposes to excavate an area currently used for storm water management to <br />improve its storm water storage capacity and to address a persistent odor issue. Details are addressed in <br />the attached permit application. <br />The proposed activities are not covered by the Wetland Conservation Act, as all work will be confined to. <br />within the DNR boundary. Additionally, the~proposed activities are linuted to excavation with minor <br />amounts of riprap fill, which should be covered under the .Army Corps' non-reporting. general. permit or <br />GP-1 for DNR aljproved activities. Therefoc-e, the DNR permit is the key wetland .pemut required for this <br />project. <br />The excavation plans are shown in the attached drawings.. Generally, two locations within the. basin will <br />be excavated an average of four feet to remove deposited and accumulated sediment and organics. A <br />minor amount of incidental fill may occur during grading, and a small amount of riprap for stabilization <br />would be place at the 48 and 27 inch inlet pipes, however the total fill would not exceed 400 square feet. <br />The work is proposed to be conducted this winter and completed before spring. The outlet from the pond <br />will be protected with floating silt curtain and other appropriate erosion control measures to minimize <br />downstream impacts during excavation. <br />If you have any questions regarding this application or require any further information, please contact me <br />at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your time to review this project. <br />Sincerely, <br />URS Corporation - <br />Beth Kunkel, PWS ~ ~f~ ~ t ~ gl~ <br />~'-~ '~ , <br />,, ,4 <br />Cc: Jerry Auge, City of Shoreview ,AAv [1~r ~~~~ ~G <br />Mark Maloney, Grass Lake Watershed ``' <br />Tim Fell, Army Corps of Engineers ~~~ ~~`~`~''~ ~ o <br />j sit <br />v=> d ~ o Fit- , :'; <br />Thresher S~~sare • 700 Third Street Soctth • Suite 600 • Minneapolis, MN 55415.• Phone: (<12) 370-0700 • Fax: (6/2) 370-137H <br />
