� Christine Mattson <br /> From: Christine Mattson <br /> Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2013 3:46 PM <br /> To: 'Gustafson, Sven' <br /> Cc: lincoln@yardscapesinc.com; Melanie Curtis; Jesse Struve <br /> Subject: 3227 Casco Cir /2013-00728 <br /> Sven, <br /> City Engineer,Jesse Struve, has reviewed the survey revisions and letter dated 9/17/13. He has the following questions: <br /> 1. What is the velocity of the water down the slope once it discharges the pipe? While the velocity at the end of <br /> the pipe may be 1 fps,there is potential the velocity down the slope may require additional slope reinforcement <br /> to prevent erosion down the slope. <br /> 2. What type of existing vegetation is on the slope downstream of the pipe outfall? The letter dated 9/17/13 <br /> states sod is sufficient to prevent erosion. Is this slope turf grass down to the lake? <br /> 3. The turf grass will generally have chemicals applied directly on it and will not provide adequate filtering of <br /> chemicals from reaching the lake. If the applicant does not want to install a rain garden for a 10 yr event, <br /> another possibility is to install a filtration basin with under drains instead of the proposed catch basin. They can <br /> direct the water to a low point and have turf grass, but instead of it dumping directly into a catch basin, it would <br /> be required to filter through a sand medium and into the under drains prior to entering the pipe to the lake. <br /> If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. <br /> Christine Mattson <br /> Planning Assistant <br /> City of Orono <br /> 2750 Kelley Parkway � Orono � MN � 55356 (physical addressJ <br /> PO Box 66 � Crystal Bay � MN � 55323-0066 (mailing addressJ <br /> � 952.249.4620 � 8 952.249.4616 <br /> � cmattson@ci.orono.mn.us � � www.ci.orono.mn.us <br /> Office Hours: Monday- Friday 8 am to 4:30 pm <br /> 1 <br />
