He noted the pond was sized appropriately for the amount of water that <br />went to it. He indicated if it was dug deeper, retaining walls had to be put in or the footprint of <br />the pond had to be expanded. <br />Councilmember Wise asked if some of the material had been moved to Burger King. <br />City Engineer Himmer responded there could be contaminated material capped under the parking <br />area at Burger King, which would need to be removed if the pavement was removed. <br />Tom Dahl, AE Common, representing BNSF summarized the work timeline. He noted the <br />State's deadline was August or it would be turned over to the State Super Fund. <br />Motion by Councilmember Dehen, seconded by Councilmember Jeffrey, to adopt Resolution <br />#10-06-119 adopting Findings of Fact 40870 relating to a request for an Interim Use Permit for <br />grading and mining activities on the property located at 7205 Highway 10 NW and the adjacent <br />railroad right-of-way. <br />Motion carried.
