CITIZEN INPUT Joll Enstrom, 8702 181st Avenue, Ramsey, stated that he is in the process of building a 115~acre lake on his property that could be seriously impacted by the engineering firm that works for the Lower Rum River Watershed District and has recently been criticized for the work they have done for MnDOT.
