Luke <br />14250 Bowers Drive <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> <br />Public Waters Permit No.99-6037, River Bank Stabilization, Mississippi River (river mile 877.7), <br />City ofRamsey, SW'A SW'A, Section 29, T32N-R25W, Anoka County <br /> <br />! <br />I <br />i <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Luke: <br /> <br />Enclosed is Public Waters Permit No.99-6037, which authorizes the placement of natural rock riprap along <br />200 feet of the Mississippi River. <br /> <br />Please note that special provision No. 6 of this permit does not authorize you to change the configuration of <br />the bank above the ordinary high water mark (OHW) of the river until permits or approvals are received from <br />the City of Ramsey. Work is restricted in the sensitive bluff'area and land within 40 feet of the bluff. Any <br />work conducted above the OHW is within the City ofRamsey's jm-isdiction and will need to comply the <br />standards set forth in current ordinance language. <br /> <br />As we have discussed previously, we support the City's efforts at protecting the scenic bluffs along the <br />Mississippi River and feel that a proposal to cut back the top of the bluffand shield the slope with rock <br />significantly higher than the ordinary high water elevation is excessive, destructive to the natural features, and <br />may cause additional problems. It is my opinion that protection of the toe of the slope will give adequate <br />erosion protection while protecting the values of the bluff. <br /> <br />Please feel free to contact me at (651) 772-7910 if you have any questions or concerns. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Enclosure <br /> <br />c: City of Ramsey, Scan Walther l/// <br /> Anoka Conservation District, Becky Wozney <br /> Lower Rum River Water Management Organization <br /> U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Tim Fell <br /> DNR Conservation Officer, Leland Owens <br /> DNR Fisheries, Daryl Ellison <br /> DNR Wildlife, Bob Welsh <br /> Central Waters, Ron Anderson <br /> Mississippi River (river mile 877.7~ File <br /> DNR Inf'o/mation: 631-296-6157 <br /> <br /> An Equal Opportunity Employer <br /> Who Values Diversity <br /> <br />TrY: 651-296-5484 · 1-800-657-3929 <br /> <br /> Printed on Recycled Paper Containing a <br /> Minimum of 10% Post-Consumer Waste <br /> <br /> <br />
