The basic pro- blem in the area is one of flooding plus some other lesser problems. Perhaps the best way to illustrate what happens, at least occasionally, in the area, is to show some video tapes we took on April 28. If we could have someone turn the lights out please.

AUDIO VOICE: The area encompasses approximately 50 by 28 feet. (inaudible) the problem on the east side of Hamline at the intersection of Lydia, we will attempt to show depth along here. MR.

HONCHELL: This starts through the park from the cul- de-sac on Brenner. AUDIO VOICE: As you can see, the problem in this area is quite extensive with water depths averaging in the one and a half foot area. As we approach the intersection of Josephine Road the water depths tend to increase upward to two feet. We will now walk south along Hamline and attempt to show the area with the problem presently existing. As you can see, a good portion of Autumn Grove Park is currently under water. 2
