Project Approach | 6A Proposal for Lake Orono Restoration and Enhancement (LORE) for the City of Elk River <br />Design <br />During the design process, WSB recommends TAP <br />meetings to provide City staff, regulatory partners, and <br />stakeholder input as the project design and work plan <br />is developed. We anticipate having three meetings with <br />the TAP throughout the design of the LORE project. <br />These TAP meetings are anticipated to occur at project <br />kick-off and at the design milestone of 50 and 90 <br />percent. We will review each of the components of <br />the design with the TAP and solicit recommendations <br />for improvement. The recommendations will be taken <br />under advisement with City staff to evaluate and include <br />into the final design documents. <br />Our habitat restoration and fisheries experts <br />will assist with identification and design of <br />aquatic habitat structures such as aquatic <br />vegetation mats, rootwads, boulder piles and <br />lake bottom basins which will provide refuge <br />for fish species. <br />WSB will meet with our regulatory partners at the US <br />Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the MnDNR, and the <br />Minnesota Board of Soil and Water Resources (BWSR) at <br />each of the 50 and 90 percent reviews. <br />The final design process will include the preparation <br />of plans and specifications along with a QAQC review <br />following standard procedures to ensure that the TAP and <br />regulatory partner comments have been incorporated <br />into the final documents. We will also include any <br />materials developed as part of the TAP that need to be <br />incorporated into project documentation. <br />We anticipate having two public meetings to discuss <br />the project with interested citizens/stakeholders. These <br />meetings can either be held as stand-alone meetings or at <br />meetings with the City Council at the discretion of the City.
