Based on the Information submitted with your <br />inquiry the following preliminary comments are offered: <br />1.A MCWD permit is required for the work and is subject to the <br />conditions outlined in the MCWD Dredging Guideline. <br />2.The District has, in the past, issued permit approval for <br />dredging in Lake Minnetonka when it can be shown that it is a <br />maintenance operation necessary to allow boat access. In <br />this case, where the existing access point is outside the <br />area to be dredged, the District's position is not well <br />established and it is unclear at this point whether the Board <br />cf Managers would favor such a proposal. <br />3.In the event the property owner pursues this proposal it <br />would be necessary to show that the erosion problems <br />apparently causing the siltatlon problem have indeed been <br />checked. Without this assurance it is doubtful that the <br />permit application would be approved. <br />4.The proposed project appears to have both possible <br />detrimental and beneficial effects on lake Minnetonka. The <br />effects of dredging on water quality are unknown, vary from <br />case to case and are usually assumed to be detrimental. It <br />may be, however, that the deposition ol sediments from <br />concentrated stormwater runoff has a greater effect.
