This project is a good idea, and is <br /> acceptable to the City. No City permits are required for this work. I viewed the site and noticed <br /> some small holes along the pond edge filling in these small holes with topsoil as part of this <br /> vegetation planting project is okay. <br /> Regarding your request to place several feet of fill in the area between the pond and driveway, <br /> this pond would be considered a wetland under the Orono City Code, and no filling or grading is <br /> allowed within 26' of a wetland. It is also quite possible that the area between the pond and the <br /> driveway could be a Type 1 wetland. My understanding is also that the Minnehaha Creek <br /> Watershed District has a buffer ordinance that prohibits grading and filling near wetlands. <br /> Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Please contact me at 952-249-4621 should yoa have <br /> any questions. <br /> Sincerely; <br /> _ G���� <br /> Greg Gappa <br /> Director of Public Services <br /> Telephone(952)249-4600 • Fax(952)249-4616 <br /> www.ci.orono.mn.us <br />
