<br />10. Erosion occurs when bare soil washes off the land into lakes, rivers/streams, and storm <br />sewers leading to water bodies. Have you seen or been affected by soil erosion? <br /> <br /> <br />If yes, where? Please describe. <br />. Along county highways <br /> <br />. Along the Mississippi trail <br /> <br />. Along the Rum from the railroad tracks in Anoka north. The Mississippi is also effected on either <br />side of the confluence with the Rum <br /> <br />. Along the Rum River south of Anoka high school and north in the Anoka nature preserve. I know <br />this is due to kids and rope swings but the old pattern of dealing with this has been to cut down <br />the tree they use and that only amplifies the issue. <br /> <br />. Anywhere a stream enters the Rum, especially after a storm or in the spring you can see it. <br /> <br />. Brookview development. <br /> <br />. Bunker Lake Blvd in Andover <br /> <br />. By fishing dock in Aiken Park. <br /> <br />. By motor boat traffic at high speed <br /> <br />. Construction sites, none specific (2) <br /> <br />. I have seen some form of erosion all over the area <br /> <br />. In some areas of the Rum River <br /> <br />. Kills natural plants and changes the lake structure <br /> <br />. Mississippi shoreline, storm drains <br /> <br />. More erosion of existing shoreline by Rivers Point condominiums; we have seen Rivers Pointe <br />condominium residents clear brush from public Rum River shore line because it obstructed their <br />view <br /> <br />. Old crossings on Rum <br /> <br />. Rum River and sludge <br /> <br />. Rum River lake of wake control <br /> <br />. Rum riverbanks. <br /> <br />. The City of Ramsey seems to be doing a good job of correcting these problems as they occur. In <br />my neighborhood 172nd and potassium, they added storm sewer drainage, and along the Rum <br />River in Rivers Bend Park, they added a boulder retaining wall. I can't recall off hand, but I know <br />there are other hardscape issues in neighborhoods that result in similar situations during snow <br />and rain events. I cannot recall offhand where I've seen this. <br /> <br />. The clarity of the water is reduced - you can barely see below the surface <br /> <br />. The Rice Street beach has been changed over the years by this. Beach erosion seems to be <br />stabilized by simply adding natural landscaping, like rocks, to eliminate this issue in an attractive <br />way. <br /> <br />. When Ramsey dropped road level three feet. <br />
