In some cases, City staff has worked with resident homeowner associations to modifY a pond within a housing development on the. association's property. The maintenance perfonned on City owned ponding basins is to mow approximately about once a month unless the ponding basin has a more active use. It has been standard operating procedure not to mow up to the edge of the pond. By not mowing up to the edge of the pond, a buffer is created to capture and filter any partials prior to enteling the water system. A meeting has been set up with the Parks and Recreation Departl11f:llt and the Puh1ic V\TorkR Dcpartmtut to f0l111alize a pond maintenancc strategy. . The NRj{C. will be updated with more infonnation as the two depariment's meet. i j j I . I I i L I I i , i i NRRC. ACTION None at this tilne REF: NRRC/melno January 05 agenda item 8 !

Montgomery Wednesday, June 16, 2004 1:54 PM rep. den ny. mcna mara@house. m n Cal Ruedy; Lee Erickson Featherstone Ponding Basin Mowing Denny, I don't know what type of seed was planted for the strip of land between the trail and the pond. That work was done privately by the developer and supposed to meet City specs _ which currently call for MnDOT #70A mix for storm water basins & #50A for other areas. The #70A mix is 2/3 smooth bromegrassand perennial rye grass with the remaining 1/3 switchgrass, timothy and creeping alfalfa. I can't tell you if this is a wetland mix or not. The grading and seeding work was completed by a neighbor of yours, Ross Albertson. The north side of the ponding basin and the playfields were completed a number of years ago (early 90's?) and likely seeded with MnDOT's standard grass mix. The mowing of the ponding basin is a strange mix of Parks and Public Works responsibilities. The Parks Department mows the athletic fields and the north side of the basin while Public Works mows the south side. Parks mows on a regular interval; Public Works tries for a monthly interval depending on availability of workers and other maintenance duties. Cal and Lee met last week with Rich Mohnk and Richard Braun to discuss the mowing around the basin. Apparently Rich & Richard had talked previously with Ron Gilbertson from the Jackson St. townhome association. All parties agree to leave a 10 to 12 ft. wide undisturbed strip adjacent to the ponds. Public Works will mow the steeper side slopes up to the undisturbed strip on a monLhly basis. While none of these ponds are classified as wetlands, I am very interested in hearing what you learn from the DNR about seasonal mowing and wha~ times of the year we should not mow in order to protect wildlife nests and hatchlings. Will we need to protect a larger __area than the 10 to 1'2 ft. undisturbed area? () ~ndmas M.

I felt compelled to send you a message regarding the messages I got from Denny. As a member of the NRRC I am going to bring this up to the committee. I also sent Barry and Kevin those e-mails from Denny. It seems that it is a lack of awareness by the surrounding landowners and residents of the role of these ponds of which I am not sure either. Possibly live can help organize an awareness campaign of some kind. From the e-mails it sounds like it is a'several issue problem. I am also a member of HEP and as you have probably heard, we are planning in conjunction with NRRC, SWCD, DNR a workshop about what homeowners can do to. help improve water quality in Hastings. The workshop will be in 2 phases with raingardens being more the focus of the second one hopefully being held in March. I am looking forward to meeting you and hopefully we can help with some of these problems with public perceptions about: what the ponds are, what they do, how they should be treated and vegetation issues. Hopefully whatever we as members of HEP do as a public interest group we can help clear the waters instead of muddying them up more.
