The project will involve work below <br />the water' table and dewalering In excess of 10,000 gallons per day or <br />1 million gallons per y~ar would occur, a DN-R Appropriation Permit <br />(M.S. §105.41) is requi~ed. The property owner should obtain forms <br />from this office. <br /> <br />We are concerned about t,~e impact of the excavation on the localized <br />groundwater conditions a-~d water levels of Itasca Lake. The project <br />may effectively promote seepage out of the lake and the surficial <br />sand aquifer. In order to make a recommendation on this project, <br />further information is needed. At present, we are not aware of <br />sufficient data on th~ soils, water table elevations and the <br />relationship of the surJicial sand aquifer to deeper aquifers. Ail <br />available data will ~e researched and upon analysis of that <br />information~ we will advise the City of any additional data <br />requirements. After su~:ficient data is available, we will make a <br />recommendation to the Ci~:y, I expect that we would have our existing <br />data search completed wi~hi~ two weeks. <br /> <br />Therefore, we recommend no action be taken on the application until <br />the Department has had a~ opportunity to further study the project and <br />its' impacts on the grou~dwater system. <br /> <br />AN ~OUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER <br /> <br /> <br />
