Real Estate Transaction Dear Mr. Melchert: Gary Warren from the City of Chanhassen has advised me that the Pollution Control Agency is now requiring six inches of black dirt to be dispersed about the NordicTrack site as a precondition to the spreading of the contaminated soil. Because clean up will now involve the hauling of materials to the NordicTrack site, the City now would like to remove the contaminated soil completely from said site. To that end, I request that your client issue a letter to the City of Chanhassen to the attention of Mr. Gary Warren wherein your client authorizes the City to come out to the NordicTrack property to remove the contaminated soil. For your information, the City has yet to receive any written authorization from NordicTrack with respect to the clean up. I would, at this point, recommend that we set a specific closing date for this transaction. If your schedule permits, let us tentatively plan to close this transaction on Wednesday, June 20, 1990, at 9 : 00 a .m. at the City of Chanhassen. At such time the City will deliver a warranty deed to your client and the balance of the purchase price can be adjusted and paid to the City. I assume that you will contact me upon receipt of this letter to discuss particulars . Very truly yours, CAMPBELL, KNUTSON, SCOTT & FUCHS,. P.A. BY: - James R.

The comments of your staff regarding the District's 509 Plan are not reflective of information submitted to the Council by the Watershed District. The Managers have been seeking approval of their 509 Plan for over a year and we are wating for action by the State Board of Water and Soil Resources and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. These agencies are aware of your comments regarding the District's 509 Plan which were similar to those made on the Nine - Mile Creek Watershed District 509 Plan. The Managers received a copy of the letter by the Chairman of the Nine Mile District and agree with many of the observations of the Nine Mile Managers. The cost of 509 Plan preparation and approval and the fact that State Agencies resolve the differences with Met Council conclusions lead to the decision to expedite the hearings by the State agencies. • The Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Managers have ;worked to improve stream and lake water quality. We recently contracted to complete a project for control of non-point source pollution. The District undertook this pilot non-point source cooperative project with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in order to develop a model program for reduction of nutrient levels and thereby improve of the water quality of the • • Mr. Steven Keith May 22, 1990 Page 3 fill, alter, and/or disturb more than one acre of land in surface area.

There were very many displays from various law enforcement and public safety agencies throughout the area. Chanhassen Public Safety had a booth displaying crime prevention and building inspection information. Deputy Rod Peddycoart assisted `£SOs Deb Rand and Bob Zydowsky in operating this booth during the function. His enthusiasum was not overlooked and he looked very sharp and presented himself well to the public. It was a pleasure to see Carver County represented by both Chanhassen Public Safety and the Carver County Sheriff ' s Department . Please extend by sincere appreciation to Deputy Rod Peddycoart for his time and efforts to help make this function a resounding success.

During the time that I worked on the study I received assistance from Bob Zydowsky, one of your Community Service Officers. I wish to commend Bob for his eagerness to help and his encouragement. Much of what Bob did dealt with tedious statistical research. He dutifully stuck to the task. His work was detailed and accurate. I commend Bob not only on his approach to this study but on his constant optomistic outlook. He exudes positive ambitious energy not only when working on the traffic study but in his general duties and contact with the Sheriff's Deputies.

Hempel, Sr. Engineering Technician t DATE: May 24, 1990 SUBJ: Request For Grading Permit - Sever Peterson Grading Permit File 90-4 The City has received a request for a grading permit from Mr. Sever Peterson, resident at 1600 Pioneer Trail. Mr. Peterson is proposing to "land apply" and farm approximately 800 cubic yards of contaminated soils. These soils are contaminated with gaso- line from leaky storage tanks that were recently excavated from 9245 Lake Riley Boulevard (Rudy Remus property) . The con- taminated soils have been temporary stock piled on the Hanus pro- perty until an exceptable disposal site has been found. • The applicant is proposing to spread the contaminated soils in a four inch layer over approximately 1.8 acres of farm land immediately north of the applicant's house. The terrain is generally farm land with seven to eight percent slopes. The site drains easterly into a ditch which emptys Onto a lowland and proceeds into Bluff Creek. Site As approximately 600 feet from the lowlands and 1000 ,feet; #rom Bluff ,Creek..,. Due to the slopes in proximity of the ditch which eventually emptys into Sluff Creek, it is recommended that the proposed site be relocated 'westerly away from the ditch5tsee Attachment #1) . This „wf31 allow the drainage to "sheet" drain in A few ,directions -versus con- centrating towards the drainagelikch which would require erosion control. t' I' According to Ms. Janet Berryhill of the Pollution Control Agency (PCA) , the soils in this area are favorable to such an applica- tion. The applicant will be required to periodically (monthly) turn the soils to assist in evaporating the contaminents from the soil. The process takes approximately two to three months for gasoline to evaporate and return the soils to an acceptable level. Gary G. Warren May 24, 1990 Page 2 Recommended Conditions 1. The applicant shall relocate the disposal area further west away from the ditch. 2. The applicant shall apply and comply with all conditions set forth by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for said soil rehabilitation process. 3. The applicant shall provide security in the amount of $5,000 to ensure proper testing and handling of said soils. 4. The applicant shall pay grading permit fees per the Uniform Building• Code (UBC) . 5. The applicant shall stake off the area until contaminents are disbursed. 6. The City shall receive, in writing, confirmation from the PCA and or testing firm when soils have been stabilized. 7. The applicant shall produce copy a of the PCA permit before moving soils. 8.

The Aviation Subcommittee is the first stop for aviation-related legislation in the House. Oberstar's chairmanship of the panel affords him a significant amount of control over which bills are brought before the subcommittee, and a great deal of influence over what legislation is passed on to the next steps in the process, the full Public Works and Transportation Committee and the floor of the House of Representatives. As Chairman of the Aviation Subcommittee, Jim has had to deal with a wide range of issues affecting the well-being of the airline industry and the safety of the traveling public. These issues include: How safe are the nation's airlines? What rights do passengers have? How do we deal with crowded airports and overworked air traffic controllers? Many of these concerns have direct applicability to the concerns of our communities. The St. Paul Pioneer Press Dispatch made the following comments about Congressman Oberstar in October, 1988: "He is a seasoned, bright and influential Congressman who believes strongly in the obligation of government to help the poor. Such a voice is needed in Washington." It is a real credit'to Jim Oberstar to receive recognition of this nature. The June 11th meeting will provide greater opportunity to review the highway and airport issues facing our communities. Please join us in welcoming Jim Oberstar at the Flagship. Thank you.
