At the location cited below, <br />violations were recorded on January 4,2001: <br />• pArmit iflSQ Fo^ Ridge Road: Grading has been initiated <br />without the necessary erosion control measures in place as indicated <br />on the erosion control plan submitted to MCWD. It also appears as <br />though soils near the wetland area have been heavily compacted by <br />construction equipment and a portion of the wetland may have been <br />Inadvertently filled from construction activity. <br />In order to avoid penalties from the Minnehaha Creek Watershed <br />District which may include fees and the delivery of a Stop Work <br />Order, these violations require prompt and Immediate attention. All <br />violations should be attended to and fixed immediately. Work should <br />not continue until the necessary repairs have been made. A deadline <br />of January 8,2002 has been given in order to resolve these issues. <br />The permit holder is thereby required to: <br />• Install silt fences to MCWO specifications on all downhill slopes and <br />around stockpiles <br />• Silt fence must be maintained in order to be effective and up to <br />MCWD standards <br />• Wetland delineation flags must be maintained in the original locations <br />for reference to wetland boundary <br />• No impacts to wetlands may occur with this project: if impacts are <br />unavoidable, MCWO Board of Managers approval will be required for <br />the project <br />• Soils must be decompacted in areas within 25 feet of the wetland <br />boundary following construction <br />A MCWD representative will inspect the required repairs made to the <br />construction sites later in the week. Thank you for your prompt <br />cooperation and immediate attention to this matter. If you have any <br />questions please call 952-471-0590. <br />Sincerely, <br />Michael Wyatt <br />District Technician
