RE: Soil Remediation 58 and Oakgreen
Dear Mr. Price,
The above project has commenced this past week and I have visited the site.
On Tuesday, March 1st there were excavation activities (frost breaking) occurring by Bolander without a
soil scientist present at the site. This was a violation of item 4 as stated on Appendix B of your
Conditional Use Permit. Work was stopped until the appropriate person came to the site - Eric Stommes
GME Consultants. Please remind your contactor that a soil scientist must be on site and monitoring the
project AT ALL TIMES. The person from Colander at the site was also reminded that curb protection must
be installed.
on Thursday, March 3 substantial soils removal and backfilling activities commenced. No curb protection,
as required in item 1 - Appendix B, has been installed as well as no efforts have been made to protect the
City's trail. The City will monitor the site for curb / trail damage once the project is complete and the
spring thaw occurs. Should the City determine that these items are damaged, the City shall require these be
repaired and/or replaced.
Lastly, contrary t Minnesota law, none of the loads leaving the site have been covered/tarped. 1 would
rec end yo peak with the contractor and address this situation.
