He noted a project along Idighway 10 where the drainage is within Coon Creek jurisdiction but the boundary line is split between the Coon Creek WMO and LRRWMO. Schultz suggested the jurisdiction where the majority is directed assume authority. • Ferguson raised the issue of assessment for one district or the other. Jankowski reviewed the options available; requiring a permit if within the LRRWMO boundary, or to realign the boundary. He noted there should be no "gap" in coverage which is what BWSR will be concerned about. Ferguson reviewed his reseazch of the boundary and jurisdiction issues and agreed there appears to be no missing azea or overlap. Jankowski agreed that this would be the appropriate time to amend the boundary with Coon Creek, if desired. Haas stated there is also a boundary in the north centraUnorth east azea of Andover which needs to be amended.
