King <br /> Subject: RE: MCWD WCA W14-37 Notice of Decision No-Loss - Nelson Restoration -Orono <br /> Melanie, <br /> Thanks for your reply. Regarding these outstanding items: <br /> 1) We plan to have the NPDES permit within a week or two. You have already received (and reviewed/approved?) <br /> the draft SWPPP for the site (pgs 38-43 of your Item 06 143688.pdf file for the project). The draft SWPPP will be <br /> finalized (i.e., Items VII a &b) within a week or two as well. <br /> 2) 1 had not heard about the Hennepin County approval requirement by the City before, but AES has coordinated <br /> with them on earlier phases of this project(including traffic control). We will not be doing any grading in the <br /> right-of-way(just the temporary construction access)and we are installing some native vegetation (we've <br /> already discussed with them that we will keep woody plantings out of the cleared right-of-way). We will contact <br /> them again and secure their approval. <br /> 3) The rain garden designs have been reviewed and approved by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, and I <br /> was not aware that the City needed to review them. I will send you the designs in a separate e-mail. <br /> Thanks again. <br /> - Doug <br /> Douglas M.

Please see our engineer's comments below, specifically <br /> noting the need for a NPDES permit and Hennepin County approval to work in the right-of-way. Please provide <br /> evidence that these approvals have been taken care of prior to our issuance of the permit. <br /> Also, please provide rain garden designs before construction. <br /> 1 <br />
