0 measures. No work, other than 20 foot wide access roads from the lake, is proposed to take place within the 50 foot shore impact zone. Top soil will be removed from the disposal sites, the bearing capabilities of the soil remaining will then be verified and documented, the sediment will then be placed on the sites according to the plans, top soil replaced, and the sites will be immediately seeded and mulched. The sediment placed on the Bickman, Hartman and Wapiti Park sites will contain 2% or less organic matter because they have the potential for development. The city is responsible for dealing with drainage and odor complaints as well as the placement and maintenance of erosion control measures for the first year. The sediment has been tested and does not contain contaminates of concern. Map "B", the Bickman Disposal site, shows a potential stockpile of material in the southeast corner. Mr. Bickman is willing to take this material and offer it for sale. This is why it has been left adjacent to the roadway for access. It is unlikely that there will be a need for the stockpile, but it should be considered as part of the city's request. Environmental Concerns The attached EAW explains in detail the environmental issues and mitigation measures associated with the proposed project. These issues will not be reiterated in this memo. IIIIThe Planning Commission is encouraged to review the EAW. The comment period for the EAW ends on March 25, 1998 so it is anticipated that all comments will be available for the Planning Commission meeting. In addition, the city has had the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BSWR), and Sherburne County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) involved with the project for over two years. The concerns of the referenced agencies have been including in the project's design. The project has also been explained to Sherburne County and the Elk River Watershed Board. Shoreland Ordinance The City's Shoreland Ordinance identifies considerations and conditions for grading in a wetland and Shoreland District; most notably Sections 904.08 3. B. iv. a. and 904.08 7. A. & B. You may note on the attached disposal plans (Maps A through E) that none of the work proposed is within the Shore Impact Zone and erosion control measures are detailed. The project as proposed clearly meets the standards and conditions set forth in the Shoreland Ordinance. •
