DSTATE OF <br /> <br /> EPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES <br /> <br />PHONENO. 612/295-7523 1200 Warner Rd., St. Paul, MN. 55106 FILENO. <br /> <br />March 3, 1987 <br /> <br />Ms. Anne Norris <br />City of Ramsey <br />15153 Nowthen Blvd. NW <br />Ramsey, MN. 55303 <br /> <br />Dear Ms. Norris: <br /> <br />RE: L & G REHBEIN EXCAVATION - NORTHFORK PROPERTY NEAR ITASCALAKE <br /> (2-110) <br /> <br />I have reviewed the plans you provided regarding the above referenced <br />project. The project does not involve any work within protected <br />waters or wetlands; therefore a DNR permit for such work (as required <br />by M.S. §105.42) is not required. The project will involve work below <br />the water table and dewatering in excess of 10,000 gallons per day or <br />1 million gallons per year would occur, a DNR Appropriation Permit <br />(M.S. §105.41) is required. The property owner should obtain forms <br />from this office. <br /> <br />We are concerned about the impact of the excavation on the localized <br />groundwater conditions and 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 the soils, water table elevations and the <br />relationship of the surficial sand aquifer to deeper aquifers. Ail <br />available data will be researched and upon analysis of that <br />information, we will advise the City of any additional data <br />requirements. After sufficient data is available, we will make a <br />recommendation to the City. I expect that we would have our existing <br />data search completed within two weeks. <br /> <br />Therefore, we recommend no action be taken on the application until <br />the Department has had an opportunity to further study the project and <br />its' impacts on the groundwater system. <br /> <br />AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER <br /> <br /> <br />
