r <br />1 i V* <br />* >, <br />< 7. <br />“11 <br />STATE OF MINNESOTA <br />HENNEPIN SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT <br />250 N. central avenue <br />WAYZATA. MINNESOTA 55391 <br />December 16, 1977 <br />Mr. Henry F. Muhich <br />Zoning Administrator <br />P. 0. Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, Minnesota 5S323 <br />Dear Hank: <br />We conducted a field investigation of the proposed spoil disposal area <br />on the Freshwater Biological Institute Property. <br />The soils originally mapped in the area are Hayden and Glencoe soils. <br />According to the soils map the depression area consists of Glencoe silty <br />clay loam soil. Although this area may have a watertable near the sur­ <br />face for extended periods we do not consider this area a wetland. There <br />are two reasons for this 1) Glencoe soils are basically mineral soils <br />rather than organic; and 2) the vegetation present in this area does not <br />seem to indicate the presence of a wetland. <br />As for the dredging itself pemits fran the Department of Natural Re­ <br />sources and the Corps of Engineers are necessary. These agencies slould <br />probably be contacted to find out what their policy on a project like this <br />will be. <br />If you feel that we can provide any additional information please feel free <br />to call me. <br />JLA/iw <br />AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
