RE: Albertville Outlet Mall, Albertville P~Iinnesota
Dear Mr. Gugig:
I understand that you are the contact person for concerns regarding the Albertville Outlet Mall. I
am writing to inquire about the status of concerns expressed in my letter to the City of
Albertville dated February 10, 2005 (copy attached). The material within the wetland buffer area
that was mentioned in my letter still has not been removed.
We have also not received any monitoring reports for wetland permit applications since prior to
my previous letter. It is my understanding that monitoring was completed in 2003 and 2004. I
have requested a copy of these reports from Svoboda Ecological Resources. Annual monitoring
is required for five years unless approved by the Technical Evaluation Panel. This can be
extended if the conditions of the permit have not been fulfilled. With the current condition of the
buffer, this is likely to be extended. Furthermore, enforcement action can be taken if the
conditions are not met. Due to the length of time that this issue has remained unresolved, I am
providing a copy of this letter to the DNR Wetland Enforcement Officer.
Please contact me within 10 days of the date of this letter and provide an update as to the status
of these matters.
Sincerely,
Colleen Allen
Wetland Specialist
