ACCEPTED this day of 19 Signature Signature facts about the Recognizingthe seriousness ofero- sion and the need to establish a comprehensive program forits con- trol, the Board of Managers cre- ated the Streambed and Bank Sta- bilization Program while forming the Watershed District's Manage- ment Plan. This plan was ap- proved by the State of Minnesota in July 1990 which allowed the Watershed District to begin tak- ing the steps necessary to imple- ment the program. The program provides public and private land- owners with resources to stabilize properties subject to scour by wa- ter erosion. Streambed and bank program projects enable the property owner to minimize the loss of vegetation and land to the effects of erosion. Applications with cost estimates are submitted to the appropriate city prior to July 31 of each year. Joint applications consisting of adjacent property owners are strongly recommended. Property owners can receive financial assis- tance for one-third of the owner's cost. How long will the District spon- sor the program? The Board of Managers is commit- ted to a program of at least five years. Whether the program is extended beyond this period will depend upon the number of appli- cations received and the availabil- ity of funding. The program is not intended to be a permanent pro- gram. How is the project funded? The Rice Creek Watershed Dis- trict will allocate up to $30,000 per year for the entire program. In addition, financial and technical assistance may be available from other existing State programs. For information on these programs, contact your county soil and water conservation district. • Anoka SWCD Suzanne Weedman 757-4221 • Ramsey SWCD Tom Peterson 488-1476 • Washington SWCD Tim Fredbo 439-6361 When is the neat application period? The next application period for Streambed and Bank Program grants will open on June 1. All applications must be received or postmarked by July 31. To be eligible, applicants must submit a completed application to their municipal public works de- partment with the following infor- mation: a minimum of two detailed cost estimates from insured (potential) contractors cross sectional and plan views of project site other information detailed in the application instructions. Applications are taken during the year prior to the year actual con- struction will be performed. How are applications evalu- ated? Applications will be reviewed first by the appropriate municipality, then prioritized by the Watershed District. High priority projects would include the use of natural rip rap (loose stones) to protect improved structures, trees, and steep banks from the effects of bank erosion. Lower priority projects would include repair or replacement ofretaining walls and stabilization of areas which are producing smaller amounts of sedi- ment. Considerable effort should be made by property owners to include neighboring lots in the repair project. The number of contiguous properties and their location along the stream will be major factors in the ranking of projects. Need more: information?'

(612) 483=0634 May 1994 STREAMBED AND BANK STABILIZATION PROGRAM Description and Need Erosion of the bank and beds of Rice Creek and other major streams within the District has caused considerable damage to private and public properties. The eroded sediment has an adverse effect on downstream waterbodies. The intent of this program is to provide funds as a means of encouraging stabilization works along the waterways of the District. Eligible Waters The primary intent of the program is to provide for stabilization of Rice Creek. In generally decreasing order of priorities, additional waters include Clearwater Creek, Hardwood Creek, and other major waterways of the District. Erosion Mitigation Measures Eligible for Funding Financial assistance may be available for implementing measures including riprap, gabions, revet mattresses, deflectors, cribbing, and establishment of woody vegetative growth through the use of fascines. Retaining walls may be eligible if they are the best possible management practice available for the specific site. Measures not Eligible for Assistance Measures generally excluded from this program include removal of debris or clearing of deadfall, removal of accumulated sediment/sandbars, repair or construction of retaining walls, tree planting, and landscaping. Eligible Lands Applications for financial assistance are accepted from private and public landowners. Financial assistance is not available to companies, corporations, or state agencies. Evaluation Criteria The following are criteria that will be used to rate each application. No actual scoring mechanism will be used, but these criteria will be used to make detailed comparisons among applications. • Are there contiguous properties which should be included with the application to ensure a higher probability of project success? • Does site pose health or safety problems? • Will continued erosion lead to damage of habitable structures ? • Has the most feasible erosion -reduction practice been selected? • Are additional cost share funds currently or imminently available through the municipality or state grant program? • Is it likely that local, state and federal permits will be approved for the project? • Will the proposed project cause additional damages to upstream or downstream areas? • Has the site previously been identified as a potential repair site? • Have legitimate historic efforts been made to stabilize the eroding area? June 1994 Technical Considerations At a minimum, banks should be stabilized up to the elevation of the 10 -year occurrence interval flood. It is the responsibility of the applicant to hire an insured (vehicle, general liability, workers compensation) contractor capable of performing the work. The municipalities and the Watershed District will not design the stabilization measures and will not guarantee the performance of the contractor selected. It is the responsibility of the applicant to obtain all necessary local, state and federal permits. Potential permits required could include the city, county, Department of Natural Resources, Soil and Water Conservation District, United States Army Corps of Engineers, and Rice Creek Watershed District. In addition, it is the responsibility of the applicant to obtain permission to work within any restricted areas such as drainage and utility easements, rights-of-way, and property not under control of the applicant. Eligible Costs for Reimbursement The Rice Creek Watershed District will reimburse up tom of the project costs. In instances where state funding is available, the District will reimburse up to one-third of the cost remaining after state contributions. District reimbursement shall be limited to labor costs associated with the installation of the stabilization measures, and material costs such as riprap, geoteztile fabric, and granular borrow. Planning and Design, incidental landscaping, and tree planting are not eligible. The award value will be limited to one-third of the estimated eligible construction costs plus one- third of all normal fees incurred as a result of regulatory agency permitting. Fees resulting from violations will not be eligible. June 1994 Aoall;ea Ac .; MEMORANDUM TO: John Flora, Director of Public Works FROM: Paul Lawrence, Superintendent of Public Works c> DATE: August 13, 1998 SUBJECT: Tree at Locke Lake 7 ! Z �� Jon Haukaas and I met with Carol Dalske, Outside Services, on Thursday morning, August 13th, to inspect and discuss the removal of a large oak tree that fell into Locke Lake while the lake was drawn down. The property owner adjacent to the tree was also present. Carol feels Outside Services could remove the tree if given access to the lake for their log skidder. The property owner seems agreeable to allowing access if care is taken to prevent damage to the concrete parking area and other existing trees. The property owner also agreed to talk to his neighbor to the east about working from their lake shore. The property owner appears to prefer that the wood be removed from the site. I advised him that it was the City's intention to remove, cut and stack the wood on the lake shore. Carol Dalske, Outside Services, advised against stacking the wood .anywhere where the wood would be covered with water when the lake was refilled. Jon and I feel that the City should notify all the lake shore property owners that the lake will be drained on October 15th and refilled November 1st, and they should schedule any shore line repairs for that time period. The two-week period would allow time for the area under the tree to drain and for the mud to become firm enough to walk on, facilitating the tree removal. Carol Dalske will prepare several cost options: 1. Cut tree, move from the lake and stack on the shore line. 2. Chip material 6" or less in diameter and blow chips into depression between properties. 3. Remove all wood from site. All options are to pull the stump as close to the bank as possible, but the stump will be left in the lake. The property owner was advised that the City will need written authorization for access across his property. The property owner also inquired about bank stabilization this winter. 1'll•9U^G7^17',7C 1.7•�l 07014Z O �®5 PKUM t.

BONITA TORPE. Admin. A-. i6(. I regret to inform you that the RCWD Board of Managers has declined to offer cost - share funds for your proposed bank stabilization project. They reached this decision based on the fact that your shoreline is more "lake -like" than "stream4ike" and the SBBS Program specifically excludes lake shore stabilization projects. Other factors considered were the high cost of your project relative to the potential for further sediment contribution, and the fact that currently the District's cost -share fund for this program is limited because of substantial expenditures for a large project on Rice Creek in Fridley this year. I'm sorry th t we could not be of assistance. Sincerel , Kate Drewry District Administrator bct c: John Flora, City of Fridley RCWD File: SBBS 1998 Correspondence BOARD OF MANAGERS A.I. CARDINAL, SR.
