Dear Mr. Kruse:
RE: Albertville Outlet Mall
The Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) met today to discuss the buffer area on the west .side of
the outlet mall. As you aze aware, the buffer area has very steep slopes and consists of spoil
material that was not a part of the approved plan. Buffer areas function to provide infiltration,
wildlife habitat and water quality improvement by reducing pollutant loads. With the current
conditions of the site, the TEP has determined that this azea does not. provide these functions to
accepted buffer standards. The TEP recommends that this .material be removed and the site be
graded to match the approved elevations in the plan and reseeded to-prevent erosion.
Additionally, the TEP would like to bring to your attention that fill material has been placed
within the mitigation area on the south west corner of the mall during a 2003 ditch clean out. It
is the understanding of the TEP that the material was placed here at the direction'of the city.
This material must be removed from the wetland mitigation area.
d
One further item discussed was a ditch constriction that was a part of the approved plan for the
outlet mall. This constriction has been removed and the TEP would like it to be put back or an
explanation be provided: Thank you for your attention to these matters.
Sincerely,
Colleen Allen
Resource Conservationist
