LRRWMO Meeting Minutes October 17, 1990 Page 6 Mr. Hovey stated the DNR does not have jurisdiction over the of what is going in to the wetland. People can dump water in there without DNR involvement. Schrantz noted this is still administered by the DNR. He further queried whether the City of Coon Rapids looked at the flood elevation and whether they are working with the City of Anoka on that issue. Erickson indicated he would have to check further into the design parameters for the ponds. Schrantz expressed concern Anoka's Sunny Acres pond could potentially be flooded. Schultz confirmed. Schultz indicated the existing pipe in the area controlling the storm water runoff does have the capacity to handle runoff from this shopping center. The City of Anoka has sixty acres of wetland for storage for delay time. Schultz queried whether the applicant will be required to use skimmers. Mr. Hovey indicated they have not been required. The permit approval reportedly contains a condition for cleaning out the ponds when they need it. Schultz expressed a concern for the potential of oil spills and an accumulation in the area. Schrantz indicated his displeasure that the LRRWMO was not allowed proper review of this permit application before DNR approval. He felt both the Six Cities Watershed District and the City of Coon Rapids were well aware the permit was sent to the wrong WMO. He queried how the DNR proposes to keep this type of situation from happening again. Mr. Hovey requested Skallman send not only the DNR a copy of the LRRWMO boundary maps, but should also send a copy to BWSR. Weaver queried who has jurisdiction for controlling the clean -up of the sediment ponds, as outlined in permit con - dition #17. Mr. Hovey - indicated that was unclear. However, he did state the DNR would keep an eye on it. The City of Coon Rapids was issued the permit and is responsible for the clean up, and the DNR should make sure they do it. Schrantz stated either the developer or Coon Rapids is responsible for the clean -up. He suggested perhaps the LRRWMO should periodically check to see it is maintained. Weaver felt this situation is an excellent pilot to see what the impact is on the surrounding wetland area. Schrantz concurred, suggesting water quality testing take place immediately. Mr. Hovey indicated now would be a good oppor- tunity. He added maybe this WMO could require them to install skimmers and to run an analysis over a period of years to determine water quality. Weaver noted the impor- tance in dealing with a project this size and stated it is
