Minnc.sota 55323 OCT" 1 6 1996 <br />Re:Kramer Ponds <br />File No. 139-2183 <br />Dear Jeanne, <br />We have reviewed the proposal to create two ponds within existing wetlands at 2990 Somerset <br />Lane, located on Lots 3 & 4, Block 3, Old Crystal Bay Road 2nd Addition. We have the <br />following general comments in regards to excavating ponds within wetlands. <br />The two ponds are shown at a depth of four feet with relatively flat side slopes which are <br />desirable for wildlife ponds. We would expect that both of the ponds would have permanent <br />open water with cattail growth around the perimeter. The wetland behind the house is isolated <br />and fairly degraded. The wetland in front of the house is part of a larger wetland area which is <br />mainly wooded. Excavating the pond in this area would require that nearly all of the trees be <br />removed. There are several types of wooded wetlands which ire desirable and should be <br />protected. We would recommend that a wetland scientist be used to get an opinion as to the <br />quality of this wooded wetland, and that no excavation be done in this area unless it is considered <br />a degraded, low quality type of wetland. <br />Due to the filling proposed near the wetland on Lot 3, a delineation should be performed with the <br />boundaries staked in the field. The spoils area should be no closer than H feet from the edge of <br />the wetland boundary. <br />Please contact me at this office if you have any questions regarding this matter. <br />Yours very truly. <br />BONESTROO, ROSENE, ANDERLIK & ASSOCIATES, INC. <br />Shawn D.
