I have discussed the problem with the city of Elk River and stated that they should resolve this problem. The solution may require constructing a drainage ditch from the City of Elk River to Trott Brook in Ramsey. Helen Nebelung, 17675 Argon St. N.W.: This problem is a combined surface and groundwater problem. A culvert acros~ Argon Street outlets into Mrs. Nebelung's lot and drains toward her drainfield. With the heavy rainfall and high water table, her drain field and septic tank have backed up into her basement. A possible solution to minimize the problem would be to swale the drainage from the culvert away from the drainfield. This would require easements. 12,14 &17. Highway 10 Area: Skelgas is currently pumping groundwater from their lot across Highway 10 to alleviate their flooding problem. Based on piezometers in the area, the water table is four feet higher than July, 1985. We have also installed piezometers south of Highway 10 and it appears that the groundwater has a steep gradient toward the Mississippi River. 13. 19. Floyd Larson, 18025 Erdium St. N.W.: by the high water level in Ford Brook. The City started a project and provided an outlot to Ford Brook for Mr. Larson two years ago. Due to wet conditions, the final grading has not been completed. Arla Voltin, 6410-162nd Ave. N.W.: This problem is a com- bined surface and groundwater problem. A city culvert drains into this lot towards the drainfield. With the heavy rains and high water table, her drainfield and septic tank have backed up into her basement. Swaling the drainage from the culvert away from the drainfield may help to minimize the problem. This problem is caused 20. Ronald Lange, 14930 St. Francis Blvd. N.W.: We will be pumping the pond on the east side of T.H. 47. I contacted Mrs. Lange and informed her of the pumping. I also told her we could not pump her side of T.H. 47 because there was not a culvert crossing. 26. Zirconium St. N.W.: edge of the street. This problem consists of water on the 27. Ralph Lenarz, 4925-179th Lane N.W.: Flooding of the Lenarz's basement is caused by high groundwater.
