LRRWMO Meeting Minutes April 17, 1991 Page 5 Schrantz indicated a letter should be sent to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) requesting it recognize the LRRWMO as a reviewing agency for this, and other applications which fall within our jurisdiction. Also, Schrantz recalled that the DNR /Mr. Hovey has not acted on or responded to LRRWMO requests with regard to the Coon Rapids shopping center project, permit application #90 -6112. LRRWMO action was taken at its October 17, 1990, regular meeting, at which Mr. Hovey was in attendance.

He felt it is probably alright in that it has gone through the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), but the LRRWMO should still have been allowed full review and comment. Jankowski provided an overview of the project. He indicated the treated groundwater will be discharged through a closed conduit system and eventually out to the Mississippi River. At some time in the future some of the treated water will be put into Sunfish Lake in order to maintain the lake's water level. However, initially, everything will be sent to the Mississippi River, depending on what happend to Sunfish Lake. Erickson stated he would think there would be before and after monitoring. Skallman confirmed that is usually the established procedure. In answer to Erickson's query on whether they plan to monitor the lake itself, Jankowski
