GITYoT ORONO Munidp*] Oflkci StraMMinis: 2750 Mtf PMkmy Orono. MN 55356 P.O. Boi 66 Cnistal Bay. Ml 553230066 Revis Stephenson 1850 Fox Ridge Road LongXake. MNSS3S6 Mr. Stephenson; During a routine inspection with the City of Orono and MC WD we found a number of issues related to the land alteration on the property. The violations are noted below and require immediate attention. Ail violations are required to be corrected by March 5, 2002. This date is especially important as the mild winter causes great concern over erosion that will occur since the ground has not frozen. 1. o 3. 4. 5. 'Hie silt fences have not held and should be replaced or repaired. .le fill has been located within the required 26' wetland buffer and must be removed. No fill or land alteration is permitted within 26' of a wetland. Soils must be decompacted in areas within 26' of the wetland. It appears some land alteration has occurred beyond what was approved by the City and MCWD. The City of Orono is requesting you submit a survey showing finished elevations on the property to indicate the amount of area on the property that has had changes to the original elevation, and to indicate any land alteration that may have occurred beyond the property boundaries. The hillside should be disced from side property line to side property line. The existing hillside har been disced top to bottom. The top to bottom discing has created many chatmels for water that will wash fill down the hill towards the wetland area. The corrections must be competed by March 5,2002. Please contact the City when the above are complete for an immediate inspection. Shortly after they are complete the required 4" topsoil shall be added and the hillside seeded so the vegetation can establish itself. Please feel free to contact me as soon as possible to discuss this matter. I can be reached at 9S2-249- 4600.
