As part of the permit application process,your application was distributed to other DNR disciplines as well as local,state, and federal regulating agencies to allow them an opportunity to review your project and provide comments. DNR Wildlife commented that the existing riprap is adequately stabilizing the shoreline and expressed concem that new riprap will eliminate that vegetation; that it is preferable to retain the vegetation and bushes that are growing in the exiting riprap, as they provide wildlife habitat. Similazly, DNR�cological Resources requested that you be informed that there are a number of options available to you to stabilize your shoreline other than riprap that would serve the same function as riprap but provide a more natural appearance to yaur shoreline.It may be possible to use riprap to stabilize the tce of the slope and use native planrings to retain a more natural look. Additionally, we encourage the use of native vegetation because of the ecological benefits to wildlife and water quality. I have also attachcd a brochure on]akescaping and I encourage you to incorporate lakescaping into your shoreline stabili7ation efforts. Please contact me at 651-259-5754 if you have any questions about this matter. rel /'1 • J M.(Jack)Gleason Area Hydrologist Enclosures c: Minnetonka Portable Dredging,Tom Niccum,with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,Melissa Jenny permit card DNR Conservation Officer, Jackie Glaser City of Orono,Mike Gaffron DNR Ecological Services,Melissa Doperalski • Hennepin County, Jce]Settles DNR Fisheries,Daryl Ellison Hennepin Conservation District, Stacey Lijewski DNR Regional Hydrologist, Dale Homuth Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, Steve Christopher DNR Waters Permits Unit Christmas L,ake(27-137P)Fite DNR Wildlife,Bryan Lueth www.dnr.stale.mn.us AN EQUAL OPP4RTUNIiY EMPlOYER +� PRINTEO ON RECYCLED PAPER CONTAINiNG A MINfMUM OF 1096 POST•COkSUMER WASZE M4uwofa .
