LOWER RUM RIVER WATERSHED MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION AUGUST 29,1996 SPECIAL MEETING CALL TO ORDER Chairman Steve Jankowski called the special meeting to order at 2:15 p.m. in the Committee Room of Anoka City Hall. It was noted this special meeting was called to provide an informal discussion of the Second Generation WMO Plan update. ROLL CALL Voting members present were Steve Jankowski, Ramsey; Todd Haas, Andover; Ben Ferguson, Coon Rapids; and John Weaver, Anoka. Also present was Ray Schultz, Anoka Alternate; and Mark Lobermeier, SEH. LRRWMO PERMIT #96-12 -ACCESS ON WEST SIDE OF TH #47 - RAMSEY The LRRWMO reviewed the August 29, 1996 memorandum from Bob Obermeyer, Barr Engineering, regazding the permit application and wetland delineation report from Peterson Environmental for the construction of a service road being 560 feet long and 24 feet wide along the west side of TH #47 from 142nd Avenue to an existing service road to SuperAmerica in Ramsey. Jankowski reviewed the location of the proposed project and advised the City of Ramsey intends to apply to the State for local initiative project funds for improvements along TH #47. He noted the proposed service road will not only provide access to the businesses but also result in taking some traffic off TH #47, which has been identified in their application to the State. Jankowski pointed out the azea of wetland which needs to be filled involving approximately 4,228 squaze feet of Type 2 wetland, as classified by Peterson Environmental. It was noted that Obermeyer, in his memorandum, indicates this filling falls within the Dominirnus Exemption, Exemption #25, of the 1991 WCA. However, the Corps of Engineers and MDNR must be contacted regazding this proposed filling. Jankowski reviewed issues raised by Obermeyer indicating if sump pumps are used, all pumped water • must be discharged through an erosion control facility prior to reaching the downstream MDNR wetland. Also, surface water from the roadway is to be directed to a water quality basin constructed along the roadway prior to being discharged downstream. Because standing water will be in the outlet pipe at all times, the potential exists for water to freeze during the winter and early spring. Therefore, Obermeyer recommends a stabilized overflow along the ponding basin embankment be provided.
