Based on previous conversations with you and City <br /> of Orono staff, it was determined that a site visit to verify existing conditions was in the best <br /> interest of all parties involved. The purpose was to determine permitting requirements for repair of <br /> the rip rap system; fill behind the rip rap and fill in low areas of the lawn. <br /> My previous correspondence to you indicated that routine repair of rip rap is considered <br /> maintenance and a watershed district permit is not required. Upon inspecting the site, however, it <br /> is apparent that the block pieces in the water along your shore are remains of a failed rip rap <br /> system that is beyond repair. <br /> It is evident that you have lost shoreline over the years and to prevent further erosion you are <br /> encouraged to install a structurally sound rip rap system. This would involve a base of granular <br /> filter material and geotextile fabric covered with randomly placed fieldstone or limestone. More <br /> detailed design criteria, including required slope and maximum distance waterward, is specified in <br /> the attached documents. Please be advised that shoreline work done within the floodplain must be <br /> done by the landowner or by a licensed shoreline contractor(list attached). Mr. Vang, Mr. Oman <br /> and myself agreed that a new rip rap system should be installed along the existing grass line <br /> (versus in the water). Installing rip rap where the old line was and backfilling to replace years of <br /> erosion is not acceptable to the watershed district or to the city. <br /> Up to 1"of top soil is allowed by the watershed district to fill the depressions in your lawn. A <br /> watershed district permit(for shoreline improvement) would be required for rip rap. If you elect to <br /> do the work yourself, please submit a cross-section indicating elevations, slope, materials to be <br /> used and the distance the project extends waterward (5'maximum). Applications need to be <br /> submitted 21 days prior to the board meeting for engineer review and recommendation. If you have <br /> a licensed contractor install the rip rap, the application can be reviewed by staff and turned around <br /> within 2-3 days. <br /> Z� <br /> 60%Recycled • 30%Post-consumer <br />
