As a follow up to our telephone conversation of July 17, 1987, please be
advised that the Rice Creek Watershed District is currently considering
establishing a stream bed and bank stabilization program. The intent of this
program is to provide matching funds to municipalities as a means of
encouraging stabilization works along the waterways of the District. It is
anticipated that the District would accept applications for matching fund
projects on an annual basis. Each application would be prioritized based on
its benefits and costs, and funding would be provided as it becomes available.
The benefits of this program include the protection of public and private
properties on waterways of the District, improved water quality, and a
reduction in the sediment deposition rate in lakes and reservoirs downstream
of these areas. This program is also an excellent companion for any future
Locke lake sediment removal work that may be completed. Local funding could
originate from any number of benefitted sources including individual property
owners who have erosion problems on Rice Creek.
In order for the District to initiate this program, the District must first
receive a petition to undertake such a project. This petition would also
allow the District's share of the project cost to be generated through a
Qistrict-wide ad valorem tax levy.

If the City of Fridley considers this program to be in their best interest, we
would suggest that a petition to this effect be provided to the District as
soon as possible. If this petition is received prior to August 5, 1987, the
District hopes to have this program underway and construction monies available
in the second half of 1988.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter. If you have any questions
please feel free to contact me at 473-4224.
Sincerely,
EI.GENE A. HICKOK AND ASSOCIATES
Engineers for the District
