LRRWMO Meeting Minutes January 23, 1991 Page 4 Skallman reported permit application forms have been sent to all cities. He has since received a letter from Coon Rapids' City Engineer Bill Ottensman, dated January 14, 1991, stating they do not plan to do anything until the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources approves the LRRWMO Water Management Plan. Erickson added Mr. Ottensman would also like to have a map showing the Class A and B bodies of water. Schrantz noted this board has previously considered hosting a joint meeting with member cities to discuss all this, and feels it would be a good idea. Erickson noted the LRRWMO does not have standards on erosion control. Skallman indicated erosion control should be maintained on site. Each member city should use their own plan specifications for on -site erosion control. It is preferable to have uniform standards for the whole city. Schrantz reminded members the LRRWMO requested Coon Rapids respond to concerns expressed by this board regarding the runoff from the Riverdale Mall, as set out in the LRRWMO October 17, 1990, meeting minutes. Schrantz suggested perhaps the DNR be reminded of this again. Weaver noted the City of Coon Rapids feels the need for specific erosion standards, therefore, he suggested Coon Rapids standards should be an example for us to pattern our standards after. Erickson was asked to provide this board with specific information on Coon Rapids erosion /runoff standards, specifically those used during the development of the Riverdale mall. NEW BUSINESS Weaver noted the receipt of an amendment to DNR permit #90- 6229, construction of a temporary bridge adjacent to the trunk highway 169 bridge between the Cities of Anoka and Champlin. The permit revision indicates the contractor chosen to build the project is proposing an access road to be filled from the north and south banks of the Mississippi River just east of the existing bridge. Weaver feared this project is of considerable consequence, especially to the bottom of the river. The flow of the water through the center of the two fill areas will erode the fill and would fill the deepest portion of the river. He felt it essential the fill retrieving process be properly managed in order to return the river to its original profile. Skallman noted that was a stipulation of the DNR. Weaver expressed the hope the Minnesota Department of Transportation would properly supervise this project.
