LRRWMO Meeting Minutes September 17, 1992 Page 9 expected to incur significant costs. The design should be performed and certified by a registered engineer to meet the stream erosion requirements of the LRRWMO as shown in Appendix B, pages eight and nine, of the Water Management Plan." Schrantz noted that the plans presented for LRRWMO review at this meeting were signed by a registered engineer and seem to be acceptable. Schultz reported copies of these plans were submitted to all review agencies. Bids will be considered for acceptance at the September 21, 1992, Anoka City Council meeting. Schultz indicated he submitted a letter to Tom Hovey of the DNR but have, to date, received no response from him. It was Schultz's opinion that the city did not need a DNR permit for the rip rap project. Ms. Brehm concurred with that supposition, noting that the Rum River is public waters and all the work will be done above the ordinary high water mark. Schultz indicated a DNR permit will be necessary, however, should the handicapped accessible ramp be constructed which would involve driving pilings into the river. Ms. Brehm indicated the city should submit the plans for the ramp portion of the project at a later date. Motion was made by Jankowski, seconded by Weaver, to APPROVE THE CITY OF ANOKA'S RETAINING WALL REPAIR PROJECT AS PROPOSED. 3 ayes - 0 nayes. Motion carried. Weaver reported a proposal has been made to the City of Anoka to remove rubble from the Rum River between the foot bridge and the dam in order to make the river more navigable. He indicated he has talked about this proposed project to Tom Hovey and the Corps of Engineers who both indicated as long as we do not change the channel, but merely remove the rubble deposited by construction of bridges or rolling rip rap, we do not need a permit. Ms. Brehm concurred no permit is required as long as the cross current is not altered. Weaver added it is the city's intent to mark that channel with a buoy so there could be No Wake boat traffic up to City Hall. Ms. Brehm indicated the Anoka County Sheriff's office should mark off an area so boats do not get too close to the dam. Motion was made by Weaver, seconded by Schrantz, that THE LRRWMO ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROPOSAL OF THE CITY OF ANOKA TO REMOVE RUBBLE FROM THE LIMITS OF THE SIPHON CROSSING THE RUM RIVER PERPENDICULAR TO THE FLOW OF THE CURRENT TO THE SEWER DISPOSAL PLANT TO THE RUM RIVER DAM IN ANOKA, TO BE
