<br />LRRWMO Meeting Minutes <br />May 27, 1993 <br />Page 11 <br />stated that was the question sent to our Consulting Engineer <br />following the April meetings. <br />Beduhn referenced his April 27, 1993, written review and <br />recommendation of this project as provided the LRRWMO. He <br />indicated as he reads the rules/LRRWMO Water Management Plan, <br />those rules do not address this type of mitigation for water <br />quality issues. He went on to state this is an issue where <br />the developer has made a good faith effort to try to protect <br />the environment. <br />Jankowski stated he felt the question was how good is good <br />enough. He queried whether we will require remedial action <br />to correct the direct discharge. <br />Beduhn stated he feels it would be possible to get those <br />remaining direct discharge areas to drain properly, although <br />there would be an additional cost involved due to the dif- <br />ference in elevation. Jankowski concurred- it would be <br />possible. <br />Jankowski explained for Perry's benefit that he is attempting <br />to offer somewhat of a trade-off for reducing the amount of <br />direct runoff to the Rum River. Perry queried whether there <br />is a precedent for such action. Jankowski indicated there <br />has been no such precedent for any of our plans. <br />Jankowski went into some detail on how the Waco Street <br />drainage could be redirected through the use of catch basins <br />currently in the area. Beduhn stated it would be expensive <br />to address this drainage issue with a sump pump installation <br />and maintenance. The eventual cost of redirecting to a catch <br />basin would be the same as putting in a pump. <br />Jankowski confirmed that installing homes on this property <br />will increase the runoff; it is figured to be 3,000 square <br />feet per house. However, the developer will not be adding as <br />much runoff as he is proposing to remove from direct runoff <br />to the Rum River. <br />Beduhn stated his recommendation was it is physically feas- <br />ible to treat that direct runoff water somehow prior to <br />discharge into the Rum River. He can not tell the developer <br />how to achieve it. However, the rules are clear that the <br />water should receive treatment prior to reaching the river. <br />If mitigation were required, it would be a board's decision. <br />Jankowski stated as he indicated at the last meeting he still <br />feels this is a responsible management program. The only <br />effect is we are doing more good than the existing situation. <br />
