Any adverse <br /> seepage conditions would pose unknown pollution <br /> potential for a vast area of the County stretching from <br /> the Crow River to the Psississippi River. The City of <br /> Orono has a direct interest in assuring that the quality <br /> . of water of Lake P•4innetonka are r�aintained to the highest- <br /> sta�dards . <br />
