Do�.�ning <br /> 1334 Simpson Ave <br /> Falcon Heights, MN 55113 <br /> Dear Bill : � <br /> Thank you for your letter of the 29th. I was extremely pleased <br /> to learn frcm your letter that you are now a corrnnissioner of the MWCC. <br /> The MI,fCC is certainly a com�licated and massive responsibility and it <br /> is nice to 4;roti�r that responsible people such as yourself are willinq <br /> to dedicate the necessary time and effort to such an important coranission. <br /> Your camments corcerning the amount of phosphorus traveling <br /> directly dov�n the stream to �ake Minnetonka is certainly a valid concern <br /> and one ��hich is presertiy being addressed by the htinnehaha Creek Llater- <br /> shed District and the cities involved. Our purpose in this special <br /> study, is to develop weirs along the creek that will retain the flowage <br /> in a number of pools which will spread out the water over the wetlands <br /> so a� to maximize the benefits of the phosphorus removing capabilities <br /> of these �letlands. <br /> Hickok and Associates, here in ;�tayzata, did a one year p�lot <br /> project for the EPA on the t�layzata marsh which showed that 77% of the <br /> phosphorus that came into this wetlands was removed prior to the discharge <br /> of the affluent into Lake Minnetonka. That study has been published by <br /> the EPA and it is the basis for what vre are trying to do in the Painter <br /> Creek 4latershed. <br /> After you have had some time to familiarize yourself•with the <br /> waste control corrmission facilities, I hope that we could get together <br /> for lunch someday to look at the Maple Plain plant and the Painter Creek <br /> Watershed, so that we may adequately express our concerns over this issue. <br /> Thank you again for your cooperation in this matter. <br /> Yours truly, <br /> C T OF ORONO - <br /> rad an <br /> htayor <br /> BVN/tp � <br />
