• Any exposed 3:1 slope must have temporary erosion control cover within three days • For every 5 acres or more disturbed, a temporary sediment basins will be required • An undisturbed buffer zone of 100 feet will surround the ORVW • WQ volume treated shall be 1" from new impervious surfaces Item 17 of the AUAR addresses the actions that will be taken to treat runoff from the site before it reaches the Mississippi River. (5) DNR also regulates discharges to Waters of the State, as defined in M.S. Chapter 103G.005. Although a defined drainage path to the Mississippi River from the Ramsey Town Center does not exist at present, Items 12 and 17 lay out a recommended flow path for the City, Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization and DNR to consider. This flow path ultimately results in a discharge of water to the Mississippi River, and will fall under the permitting provisions of the DNR. It also establishes the ordinary high water levels (OHWL) for lakes, and would be issuing a determined level if an outlet is installed on Lake Itasca or any of the public waters wetlands. (6) An access agreement is required to enter BNSF property. Permits can be applied for through the Staubach Group by contacting Shane Krueger (817) 230-2625. Additionally, for safety purposes, the BNSF road and train masters should be contacted prior to the commencement of construction in the vicinity of the railroad tracks. The road master is Ron Raatike who can be contacted at (320) 267-1831 and the train master is Tom Rowley who can be contacted at (612) 865-6531. 8-6
