RE: Sigstad's Carpet
Dear mss:
I am writing to you to summarize the Brown's Creek Watershed District (BCWD) history with the Sigstad's
Carpet site in the City of Oak Park Heights. Earlier this year the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR)
ordered, the enlargement of the Brown's Creek Watershed District to include areas of Oak Park Heights. The
property planned for the Sigstad's Carpet was within this enlargement area. Legal council advised that the
BCWD could implement its water resource regulatory program in this enlargemen,t area. However, the Board
of Managers chose to wait until after a process of rule evaluation could be conducted with the new member
communities. Also, the lawsuit filed by the Middle St. Croix. WMO further weighed on their minds to delay
implementation of their rules. Sigstad's Carpet submitted a grading, drainage and erosiou control plan along
with dxainage calculations on August 20, 2001. As we discussed, this summer, 1 in.fornzed you that the BCWD
would not be permitting this site but rather 'would provide comments on the development, as time permitted.
Mr. Jeff Hensel of Oreystone Construction visited nay office around the time the materials were submitted. 1
reiterated the BCWD position on the matter and further clarified the Washington Sail and water Conservation
District (SWCD) role.. As you. may be aware, the SWCD reviews developments on a request *basis from the
Middle St. Croix WMO. The SWCD did not receive a. request to review this project from the Middle St, Croix
WMO. On September 11, 2001, the Court of Appeals overturned the• BWSR order and therefore removed any
jurisdiction that the 13CWD may have had on the enlargement area.
1 hope this clarifies the jurisdictional issues for this site from a 13C` D standpoint. If you have any other
questions please feel free to call.
