LRRWMO Meeting Minutes <br />February 12, 1992 <br />Page 9 <br />Newsletter Articles <br />Neither Weaver nor Jankowski had his newsletter articles <br />available for insertion in municipal newsletters. <br />Approval of Interim Wetland Regulations <br />Schrantz noted the January 14, 1992, memorandum from Greg <br />Larson, Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources, Wetland <br />Management Section, along with attachment relating to the <br />interim guidelines for wetland regulations. Erickson <br />indicated it was his belief these regulations are mandatory. <br />Schrantz stated he would have preferred to use Coon Creek's <br />fifteen page proposed guidelines. <br />Motion was made by Erickson, seconded . by Schultz, to <br />ACKNOWLEDGE THE BOARD OF WATER AND SOIL RESOURCES ADMINISTRA- <br />TIVE GUIDELINES: INTERIM PROGRAM OF WETLAND REGULATION. <br />4 ayes - 0 nayes. Motion carried. <br />Outfall on Mississippi River /Waste Management <br />Jankowski indicated the Mississippi River is still not frozen <br />over, especially at the outfall area of the Waste Management <br />project; and he can not, therefore, monitor safety concerns <br />relating to winter snowmobile activities on the river. <br />Anoka County Ditch Inventory <br />At the January 1992 regular meeting, members were provided a <br />copy of the Anoka County Ditch Inventory and were asked to <br />review it and make comment on any concerns. Schrantz <br />indicated he had only a couple of comments on the ditches <br />from Andover's prospective. Schultz stated the only ditch <br />affected in the City of Anoka was #43. He added, however, <br />whether the ditch is there or not does not make a difference <br />to the City of Anoka because Anoka has accommodated the <br />runoff by a storm sewer. Runoff in this area does not run <br />into Anoka. Erickson indicated he has not thoroughly <br />reviewed this document yet, but noted there are a few Coon <br />Rapids ditches included. He stated he will check it out more <br />thoroughly. <br />Jankowski suggested the WMO's take over the ditches; it <br />should be one of our responsibilities. Erickson and Schultz <br />strongly disagreed with that position. Schultz added that <br />maintenance of those ditches includes considerable liability, <br />resulting in the need to increase insurance coverage; an <br />action this board can not afford. Jankowski concurred, <br />
