LRRWMO Meeting Minutes April 17, 1991 Page 7 Waste Management should be required to proceed with our permitting process as established. Weaver indicated the temporary bridge over the Mississippi River will require a similar review. He felt this board would be derelict in its responsibilities if we did not require both projects to follow our existing permitting process. He felt it imperative that this board knows how they plan to treat the material that will be dropping into the river from the bridge, and the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) should also follow the permitting .process. Jankowski stated the MPCA will put conditions on the protec- tion of the river during construction. He queried whether the LRRWMO should also review that same process. Weaver, Schrantz, and Erickson all indicated yes, we should have that review, pointing out that is why we are here. Schrantz added we do not want to take over the process, but we need to know what is going on. He stated we have the ability to accept the process established by the MPCA, but we have to review what they are doing. Ms. Rudolph advised this board has the ability to require studies be done at the cost of Waste Management. Motion was made by Weaver, seconded by Erickson, to NOTIFY THE CITY OF RAMSEY, THE MINNESOTA POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY, THE MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, AND THE MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (MN DOT FOR MISSISSIPPI RIVER BRIDGE MATTERS ONLY) THAT IN THE PROJECTS INVOLVING THE WASTE MANAGEMENT AERATION PROJECT AND THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER BRIDGE, THE LOWER RUM RIVER WATERSHED MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION ( LRRWMO) WILL REQUIRE AN LRRWMO PERMIT FOR THOSE TWO PROJECTS. Jankowski queried what level of review the LRRWMO will wish to exert over this Waste Management Project. What do we expect them to submit? The City of Ramsey is allowing them to discharge into the thirty- six -inch city storm sewer going down to the river. Waste Management is constructing a pipe to the city's storm sewer. Erickson felt it important, especially during the construc- tion period, to see what type of erosion control is being used. Schrantz indicated point source information should also be provided. When Jankowski stated the LRRWMO would not necessarily have to be as completely involved unless a wetland is affected,
