LRRWMO Meeting Minutes July 20, 1995 Page 7 contingent upon Johanson completing the required banking process as detailed in the July 17, 1995 letter from Chris Lord, Anoka Conservation District, (record land use. restriction on the deed, transfer the credits as necessary). Vote: 4 ayes, 0 nays. Motion carried. Haas indicated once Andover receives the modified plan from Fries (with the pond indicated as being deleted), the city will pull the "red tag" so work can begin. Johanson reiterated that the Anoka Conservation District has completed the delineation and the survey work has been completed along with the topography map. Then, Lord came back out to redocument and measure the wetland to finalize his calculations. Johanson requested the LRRWMO advise BWSR of this action to approve. Jankowski suggested the Administrative Secretary call to so advise BWSR and to also send them a letter including a summation of action taken. DNR Request for Review & Comment - Ramsev Sewer & Watermain Proiect Jankowski reviewed the DNR request for review and comment on the Ramsey. sewer and watermain project by pointing out the location and route, and how dewatering will occur in segments with temporary berms being placed in certain locations. As the project proceeds, the azea just completed will be rechazged and the next section started. Jankowski stated they anticipate the dewatering will be temporary and the water level will recover after construction ceases, with no permanent alteration in the wetland or water table. Jankowski advised Ramsey is also proposing to construct a roadway. He pointed out the location and explained that as pazt of the permit for the crossing, they entered into an agreement with the DNR to build a causeway and bridge the rest with a 100 foot bridge. He noted that filling the causeway will reduce the length of the bridge but require some mitigation. The DNR said they would rather see enhancement of the wetland than other mitigation on high land, and proposes a temporary dike to raise the water level to create more open water. Jankowski explained issues like impact on private wells has been addressed in the conditions of this project and the developer will have to provide another water source, if needed. Weaver asked if the purpose of the road extension is to permit further development of the interior azeas. Jankowski responded it is, as well as to provide another outlet for the existing residential development. He pointed out that Sunwood is a significant component of Ramsey's transportation plan because it anticipates there will be an extension from Highway 47 to Ramsey Boulevazd as an east/west collector street. Weaver noted there is a significant area within this basin. Jankowski explained Ramsey has dewatered through this wetland once before in 1991 when they installed sanitary sewer through a portion. In that case, they worked in the winter and pumped the wetland almost
