If a proposed project meets the conditions <br />in General Permit #97-6098, and a license/approval is obtained from the Lake Minnetonka <br />Conservation District (LMCD), the applicant nol be required to obtain a separate individual <br />permit from the DNR However, projects that exceed the conditions in General Permit #97-6098 will <br />continue to require an individual DNR permit. <br />A draft version of General Permit #97-6098 was circulated to official DNR permit application <br />commenters and interested parties (see attached list) on December 17, 1996. Comments received <br />from the commenters and interested parties were incorporated in the enclosed permit. Very few <br />comments were received. On advice of our Central Office, we are issuing this permit to the “Owners <br />of Property on Lake Minnetonka,” with LMCD as their agent. They felt this was more legally <br />correct. Another change from the 12/12/96 draft was in item #1 of the “General Conditions That <br />Apply To All Projects.” The underlined language shown below was added: <br />1.All appropriate licenses or approvals from the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District god <br />from the City in which the project is located must be obtained prior to commencing the <br />project. <br />The LMCD may begin implementing General Permit #97-6098 immediately. As is noted in Special <br />Provision 3 of Permit #97-6098, the conditions and provisions of this Permit are to be reviewed by <br />the DNR and LMCD by September 30, annually. <br />DNR Information: 612-296-6157. 1-800-766-6000 • TTY: 612-296-5434. 1-800-657-3929 <br />An Equji Opportunity Employer <br />Who Value* Diversity <br />W% Primed on Rec>cled Paper Containing a <br />Minimum ol lO'c Po*t-Con*umer Wo.>ie
