RE: MCWD Permit Application #18-199; 1400 Bracketts Point Road, Orono
Dear Mr. Benson,
Thank you for submitting an application for a Minnehaha Creek Watershed District permit for erosion
control and stormwater management for the Southways Project located at 1400 Bracketts Point Road, in
the City of Orono. The most recent application materials were received on May 21, 2018.
After review of the application materials submitted, the proposed project triggers the District's erosion
control, floodplain alteration, and stormwater management rules. Additional information is required to
complete the application and is outlined below. Based on additional information needed, the
application is incomplete.
Permit applications that do not require a variance or exception to District Rules require a public notice
to all properties within 600 feet of the subject property, which includes a 14 day comment period to
allow members of the public to receive further information and/or request a public hearing. If a public
hearing is requested, it will be scheduled on the first available Board meeting after the application is
determined by staff to be complete. The public notice for this project has ended as of 4:30 PM, May 22.
Applications that require a variance or exception to District Rules require approval of the District Board
of Managers which also includes the public notification process. Following the completion of the public
process and the District's determination that the permit application is complete you will receive written
notice of conditional approval. This notice will list the conditions of the approval that will need to be
complete prior to the permit being issued.
Please submit the following information:

Stormwater Management:
The District's Stormwater Management rule is triggered for any project proposing to create new or
replace existing impervious surface. Because the project proposes to increase impervious surface by .77
acres (33,541 square feet) the District's Stormwater Management rule is triggered. The project proposes
greater than 40% disturbance for the entire site's redevelopment. As a redevelopment project
disturbing more than 40% of the site, and increasing impervious surface less than 50%, the site will be
required to treat the entire site's impervious surface runoff for phosphorus, rate, and volume control.
Please submit the following information to fulfill the criteria of the rule:
1. Additional details for the filtration trenches including:
a. Plan details which show the relationship between the trenches and the proposed
driveways for the homes
b. Confirmation that the trench in the back of Lot 3, Block 1, will remain
c. Routing of drain the needed for the filtration trenches
i. Grading or side profile of the slopes required for the trenches to drain
d. Provide drawdown calculations for the trenches
e, The northern segment of road (without proposed trenches on either side of the road)
appears to drain to the pond instead of the trenches; therefore may not receive
filtration/ infiltration treatment.
2. Both the north and south ponds will need to provide a low point directed to the EOF so that any
emergency flows will travel to the EOF/turf reinforced mat
As we review your submittals, we may find the need to request additional information, and will so
inform you. Please be advised that MCWD will retain the application and supporting materials
submitted for one year from the date of this letter. After that, the application will be closed and a new
application and supporting materials will need to be submitted to initiate the MCWD permit -review
process. If you have any questions please contact me at chompson@minnehahacreek.or� or 952-641-
4521.
Sincerely,
Cole Thompson //
