Most <br /> importantly, it would be difficult for the contractors to know where to excavate with the existing snow cover, and it is <br /> very important that excavation into the underlying/adjacent wetland does not occur. We discussed an anticipated <br /> removal of the stockpile sometime around June 2011 (after things dry out after spring melt--there will be less of an issue <br /> of significant disturbance from heavy equipment on saturated soils on site). <br /> As I mentioned, because the stockpile will be on site throughout the spring melt, it is crucial that you make sure the <br /> perimeter control and stabilization of the entire stockpile is in place as soon as possible (we discussed the use of <br /> firewood in conjunction with silt fence as perimeter control, which would be acceptable as long as it is functional and is <br /> able to keep runoff contained to the stockpile area and out of the adjacent wetland). Formal enforcement actions may <br /> be pursued if additional wetland impacts occur due to perimeter control failure and/or lack of adequate stabilization. <br /> I will be contacting you in mid-April to set up a site meeting to verify that the perimeter control and stockpile <br /> stabilization we discussed is in place and adequate. Depending on the weather conditions,you may be contacted earlier <br /> to verify these items are in place if significant snowmelt is occurring. It is your responsibility to ensure the perimeter <br /> control and stockpile stabilization are in place prior to sprin� melt to avoid sediment impacts to the adjacent wetland <br /> from runoff. <br /> Let me know if you have any other questions. <br /> Catherine Bach <br /> District Technician <br /> Minnehaha Creek Watershed District <br /> 18202 Minnetonka Boulevard <br /> Deephaven, MN 55391 <br /> Direct: (952) 641-4504 <br /> Main Office: (952)471-0590 <br /> Fax: 952-471-0682 <br /> www.minnehahacreek.or� <br /> z <br />
