The steep slope next to your house still doesn't have vegetation established, but the erosion control blanket seems to be preventing erosion from taking place on the slope. You should try to make another attempt at getting vegetation to establish on the slope to stabilize it. I realize the lack of sunlight might make this difficult, but there should be some shady mixes a landscaper can put down to accomplish this. I also need to see: 1. The erosion gullies at the bottom of the slope along CSAH 151 smoothed out,vegetation established, and erosion control blanket installed. 2. Acceptance of the wetland buffer along the bottom of the slope. We will have to have our wetland specialist out there to take a look at it and decide if any corrective measures are required. With the summer quickly coming to a close,you should contact some landscapers to see if there is anything which can be done soon to get the seed and blanket installed so some of it can start to take hold before the growing season is over. Hopefully this answers your questions. If you have additional questions or concerns feel free to contact me directly at 952-249-4661 or at Istruve@ci.orono.mn.us. lesse Struve, PE Director of Public Works/City Engineer City of Orono (952) 249-4661 - Direct (952j 249-4616- Fax www.ci.orono.mn.us From: Jesse Struve Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2013 3:24 PM To: Melanie Curtis Cc: Christine Mattson Subject: 20120522 805 Forest Arms Lane Melanie, I performed an as-built inspection and the applicant has corrected the erosion along the south side of the house. I cannot tell if what is planted in the wetland buffer area is of the appropriate mixture and it has not established itself. We can send out the specialist from Bolton and Menk to inspect the buffer area. There are no signs or any sort of markers to indicate where the buffer area begins either therefore it might be difficult to determine the buffer location. There is some erosion taking place along the north property line where a path was cleared from CSAH 151. The applicant has enough materials on hand to make the corrections but this area should be corrected and vegetation established. Jesse Struve, PE 1
