O. Box 90 <br />I Navarre, Minnesota, USA. 55392 <br />(612) 471-B407 <br />TO: Mayor Brad Van Nest , <br />Orono City Council -k ...- <br />Dear Council: <br />On Saturday, November 11, I was invited by Dr. David Dunlap to <br />view a proposed dredging project on Crystal Bay at Bohnts Point. <br />Dr. Dunlap proposes to remove about 50 cubic feet of sand using <br />the suction dredging technique so as to facilitate access to a <br />small lagoon. The entrance to the lagoon has been silted up over <br />the years as a result of power boats moving sediment towards the <br />Bohn's Point shoreline. <br />The sita where Dr. Dunlap proposes to pump the sediment is <br />adequately contcared so that water losses will occur primarily by <br />evaporation. <br />If Dr. Dunlap uses the suction dredging technique, then for su:-h <br />a small amount of sediment, there will be minimal d.isrurbance to <br />the ecosyster. In fact there ate certain ecological advantages <br />to the program suggested by Dr. Dunlap. <br />(1) Dr. Dunlap will not have to construct a lengthy dock to <br />provide access to the lake. There are obvious aesthetic <br />aspects to cutting back on the numbers of docks of this type. <br />(2) The small lagoon will be accessible to spawning fish, especially <br />northern pike and crappie. At the -resent time it is riot <br />accessible. <br />(3) If the lagoon is not opened to the lake it will slowly develop <br />into a mosquito breeding area with stagnant water. <br />Although I recognize that Dr. Dunlap has access to Crystal Bay already <br />on his lakefront, in my opinion his project is a small one which has <br />aesthetic as well as environmental merit. <br />T ire sincere , <br />J M Wood <br />rector <br />_W-dlu <br />A PUBLIC NON-PROFIT FOUNDATION a CONTRIBUTIONS ARE TAX-DEDUCTIBLE <br />
