landscaped area looks but never say anything about the natural area. Also the natural area during high <br />water (April -June) is very difficult to keep protected, shoreline erosion is significant. <br />The roots from the trees and vegetation are not enough to keep the soil form eroding. Since we have <br />owned the property we have lost many feet of shoreline from the high water in the natural vegetation area, <br />but none of the area we have landscaped has been affected by high water. <br />We feel the money generated by the Omnibus Legacy Bill provided to the DNR would be better spent on <br />improving the quality of the water. Many of the small river and tributes that feed into the Mississippi river <br />are running through farm land. <br />Every year more farm land is getting tiled and it is drained into these tributes. Studies have shown how <br />the herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers are affecting the water quality. If the water continues to be <br />contaminated no one will be able to enjoy the river. <br />We encourage the City of Ramsey to oppose limits on homeowners who live on the Mississippi River. <br />UK,41-1 Statement of Policy — Kiver corridor critical Area (1U/29/13) <br />
