Water Resources Specialist
1. The pond which discharges directly to the wetland shall be used as a temporary basin
throughout the project. A temporary outlet and inlet shall be designed and constructed. This
basin shall be graded to the approved design upon substantial stabilization of the remaining
site. The plans must indicate this requirement.
2. The bioretention area shall be graded last and perimeter control in the form of silt fence with
metal tee posts shall be installed to protect the area from construction traffic and material
storage. A note shall be added to the plan set to this effect.
3. City code requires that six (6") inches of topsoil be placed on all disturbed areas to be
vegetated unless other engineered soil is to be used such as in bioretention areas. Topsoil
shall be stripped on the site and stockpiled with adequate erosion prevention and sediment
control practices. The plan shall indicate this requirement and demonstrate how this will be
accommodated.
4. Slopes immediately tributary to wetland shall be stabilized within 48 hours of cessation of
earthwork activities. The slope must be stabilized with a hydraulic erosion control product or
net -free biodegradable erosion control blanket.
5. Inlets with the potential to have sediment introduced as a result of import/export of materials
shall have inlet protection installed. Dandy bags are not an acceptable inlet protection
device. See City Detail 5302A.
6. Item B2 on Sheet C6 shall be changed to delete the 21 -day requirement.
7. A note shall be included on Sheet C6 indicating that the bioretention areas must not be
graded to their final condition until the contributing watershed is stabilized.
8. Item E10 on Sheet C6 shall be changed to read "...due to construction equipment driving
across or materials being stockpiled in the infiltration area."
9. Quantities of BMP measures must be included. This shall include the volume of topsoil and
the quantity of seed required.
10. Because this site is tributary to an impaired water, the stabilization of all disturbed areas
draining to Bluff Creek must be initiated immediately but in no case later than 7 days. The
exception being those areas to be stabilized within 24 hours.

11. A note shall be included on Sheet C6 indicating that topsoil is to be stripped and stockpiled
onsite such that an adequate quantity exists to place six (6") inches over all disturbed areas to
be vegetated.
12. Include discussion of receiving water being Bluff Creek which is on the 303D list as
impaired for turbidity and fish indices of biological integrity.

15. Final stabilization methodologies shall be included as part of the overall SWPPP.
16. Design of stormwater best management practices shall follow the guidelines of the
Minnesota Stormwater Manual.

one inch from all impervious surface or demonstrate to the City's satisfaction that the site
meets one or more of the limitations described in the permit.
18. In the event that a limitation does exist, the applicant shall provide volume reduction to the
maximum extent practicable and shall evaluate the potential of practices beyond infiltration
such as stormwater capture and reuse.
19. The final basin prior to discharge into the wetland shall be designed as a wet detention pond
and must meet NURP recommendations and city design standards.
20. Curb cuts shall be no less than five (5) feet wide and shall have adequate pretreatment prior

and the wetland.
23. The city will maintain the NURP basin upon acceptance of the final product.

I am waiting on engineering estimates for site improvements to include in a site plan agreement
that must be executed by CLA Chanhassen, LLC. This agreement must be recorded at Carver
County within 120 days of the approval (by September 24, 2015) and prior to the issuance of a
