RE: SEEPAGE INVESTIGATION, ROUND LAKE (2-89P), CITY OF ANDOVER, ANOKA COUNTY
Dear Mr. Schrantz:
Due to the questions arising from the water levels in Round Lake and Mr.
Slyzuk's pumping from his ditch system, I requested that our Central Office
groundwater crew further study the groundwater conditions and pumping near
Round Lake. Also, we anticipated needing more information for decision making
when Mr. Slyzuk applies for a new permit for pumping water from his fields.
The results of this second seepage investigation are enclosed in the memo from
Justin Blum, formerly of our groundwater crew, to myself. please circulate
this seepage investigation memo to anyone at the city that you think would be
interested or should have the information.
The seepage investigation included: 1) water level analysis for several lakes
in Anoka County that were geologically similar to Round Lake, 2) comparison of
precipitation, and temperature records for the area, 3) analyzing pumping
records, groundwater modelling, and a comparison of groundwater flow to
evaporation. The study concluded that Round Lake acted similar to the other
lakes in the Anoka sandplain, that these lakes responded due to the drought,
the timing of the pumping does not match the rapid decline in lake levels, and
that the most likely cause of the sharp water level decline is evaporation and
the overall decline of water levels in the aquifer.
If you have any further questions regarding this investigation, please feel
free to contact me.
Sincerely,

Subject: Round Lake Seepage Investigation, Anoka Co.
(Appropriations Permit #88-6014)
Introduction:
The Ground Water Unit of the Division of Waters was asked to evaluate the cause(s) of
water level decline in Round Lake, Anoka County, particularly in reference to the pumping
by the permittee. Because the lake is located in the sand plain area of the county, it is
known that there is probably a good interconnection between the lake and ground water
levels. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that drainage and pumping activities on land
adjacent to the lake would have an influence on lake levels. Defining the amount of
influence of pumping is the problem to be resolved. Particular questions to be answered in
this investigation to clearly define the influence of the permittee's pumping on water levels in
Round Lake are as follows:
o is Round Lake well connected to local ground water?
o was the water level decline in Round Lake matched by declines in other similar lakes
in the sand plain area in the 1986 to 1989 time period?
o what is the estimated quantity of water pumped and the timing of the pumping, and
does that match the timing of a rapid decline in lake levels?
o is the decline in lake levels attributable to causes other than pumping?
o how does the water volume lost from the lake because of pumping compare to other
losses from natural processes and; therefore, what is the impact of pumping?
o
Round Lake is located in Township 32, Range 24, Sections 20 and 29. The land being
drained for agricultural purposes is located in Section 29, across County Road 9 from the
Lake, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. The surface drainage water from this land is pumped to
Coon Creek to the east.
o
Field work performed for this investigation consisted of water level measurements from the
lake gauge in Round Lake and in wells established for earlier investigations. A new gauge
was installed in the drainage ditch across County Road 9 from the lake.
Other work to define the influence of pumping on water levels in ,Round Lake has involved
analysis of several different data sets: lake levels, observation weli levels, and precipitation
and temperature data. The various groups in DNR Waters that coll~ct andlor compile this
data are: Surface Water Engineering, Ground Water, and Climatology Units, respectively.
All this data is public information and all the analyses performed here, with the exception of
the computer modeling of the ground "Water flow system, are straight-forward time series
plots. The description of the data and a brief analysis follows.
Data Analysis:
WaterLevel Data
The most recent observation well and lake level data were obtained for Anoka County. In
general, the lake level data is quite adequate to describe water level trends in the County.
However, only limited long term observation well data is available. The best lake to use to
detect long term lake level trends in the sand plain is Coon Lake for several reasons. Coon
Lake is relatively deep, has a high run out (overflow) elevation, and has been monitored
closely since about 1970. Also, the best ground water level record in the county is for well
No. 2014, close to Coon Lake, in TI2, R23, S4. The lake and well locations are shown on
Figure 1 and data are shown on Figure 3. Figure 3 shows that there has been a close
correspondence between the ground and lake water levels though the last twenty years.
Also, the rate of change in the water levels is quite consistent. This is thought to be typical
of the sand plain hydrologic system.
The water levels in Round Lake and several other nearby lakes with good water level records
were also plotted for the time period since 1986, a time of relative high water levels. The
location of the lakes is shown on Figure 4 and the water level plots are shown on Figures 5
through 10. All of these lakes in the sand plain show water level declines from 1986 through
1989. The rate of water level decline in the six lakes was measured from the plots and is
shown below.
Rate of Water Level Decline in Selected Anoka Co. Lakes
From 1986 - 1988 (feet/year)
Bunker 2.50
Coon 1. 73
Crooked 1.42
Ham 1.53
Netta 1.50
Round 1.75
\
'J
Five of the lakes, all except for Bunker Lake, showed similar rates of decline, 1.4 to 1.75
. '\ feet per year. Bunker Lake is shown to be different by its higher rate of decline, 2.5 feet
V per year. This is explained by the fact that the bottom material under Bunker Lake is peat
and muck. This would indicate a poor connection between the water levels in Bunker Lake
and ground water levels. Overall, no excessively high or low rates of water level decline on
an annual basis are shown for Round Lake versus four other nearby lakes and in particular,
Coon Lake. This would indicate that Round Lake levels accurately reflect local ground
water levels similar to Coon Lake. .
However, detailed inspection of Figure 5, Round Lake levels, shows that there are periods in
early June of both 1988 and 1989 where water levels declined quite steeply and then
recovered somewhat to levels consistent with the regional decline. The cause of this sharp
lowering of water levels is not immediately clear.
Precipitation and Temperature Records
The locations of gauge stations in the County used in this investigation are shown in Figure
11. These stations were selected on the basis of the completeness of their records and the
fact that they also operated year round and reported snow as rain equivalents. The records
are sparse before 1976 but are adequate from that time on, as shown on Figure 12. All
stations showed the droughts of 1976 and 1987-89 quite clearly. The yearly average
precipitation for all stations is shown in Figure 13. Comparison of this figure with any of
the lake or ground water level plots also clearly shows the connection of water level to
precipitation in the sand plain area.
The closest good quality temperature record is at the Cedar station, Figure 11. Comparison
of the daily average temperature at Cedar, Figure 14, with the water level records from
Round Lake, Figure 5, shows that the period of steep water level decline corresponds the
period of relatively high average temperature for both 1988 and 1989. This period of high
temperature would cause an increase in evaporation and a resultant lowering of the water
level. The amount of evaporation would also depend on other factors such as humidity and
wind velocity.
Pumping Records
Electrical power records were obtained from Mr. Slyzuk so as to document the timing of
pumping and possibly make estimates of flow volumes. Unfortunately, because the pump
was not equipped with a water sensing automatic shut-off, the pumping volume estimate
based on power consumption would be a gross overestimate. Nevertheless, the timing of
the pumping is well documented and is shown on Figure 15. This shows that the times of
higher pumping are in April and May. By June of 1988, the pumpage has dropped and in
July it stopped altogether, during the time of steepest water level decline. The record in
1989 is not as clearly independent since there was some pumping in July. However, the lake
level drop was not nearly as severe in July of 1989 as in July of the previous year.
\
<)
Ground Water Flow Modeling
. '1
'J The computer flow model, SLAEM, was used to simulate pumping and non pumping
conditions near Round Lake. The model gives results which show the maximum possible
impact (given reasonable assumptions of aquifer properties) because it is a steady state model
and the model is set up so that the lake and adjoining swamp land',is a constant source of
ground water and rainfall was not included. In actuality, the lake both gives and receives
water from the ground and rainfall is an important influence on local ground water levels.
For these reasons, this analysis is considered to be a "worst case scenario".
.
The steady state feature of the model means that it is not possible to turn the pump on and
off on a schedule. It is only possible to obtain results with no pumping and then compare
that to results with continuous pumping. This type of comparison is reasonable because the
water level difference between the ditch and the lake is relatively constant over the summer
months and that difference is what causes the water to flow. Water level contour maps for
non pumping and pumping conditions are shown on Figures 16 and 17. These figures show
that the ditch system definitely has an influence on the ground water flow directions.
However, the quantity of water taken by the ditch versus the natural flow is quite small. The
model results show that discharge from the bottom of the lake is increased by 84 gallons per
minute when the ditch system is active. This represents an increase of approximately 44
. percent over the natural ground water flow out of the lake, as calculated in the model.
Comparison of Ground Water Flow to Evaporation
The increase in ground water flow out of the lake caused by the ditch may seem large;
however, it is insignificant when compared to other natural processes such as evaporation.
Between July 8 and July 13, 1988, the water level is known to have dropped approximately
1.35 feet. Assuming a lake area of 280 acres, this represents a water volume of 123 million
gallons. Or, expressed as a rate, this is equivalent to 17,000 gallons per minute being taken
from the lake over that five day period. The 84 gallons per minute calculated in the model
represents only one half of one percent of this outflow; therefore, it is not possible to
distinguish the impact of the ditch from natural causes of lake level decline.
Conclusion:
'\
<.-I
From an analysis of the available data, answers can be easily obtained to define the impact of
pumping. Round Lake is similar to a number of lakes in Anoka County that are quite
sensitive to variations in weather patterns and ground water levels. They quickly show
changes in lake level as the ground water levels change; therefore, they are thought to be
well connected to the ground water system. These lakes all showed a lowering of water
levels from 1986 through 1988 because of the drought. Reliable estimates of the volume of
water pumped by the permittee were not obtainable but the timing of pumping clearly does
not match the rapid declines in lake level in early July. Also, temperature records show a
sustained period of high average temperatures during the time period of the rapid water level
decline in July 1988 and 1989. This leads to the conclusion that the most likely cause of the
" "-
o
',.J
.
sharp water level declines is evaporation and that the overall decline of lake levels was
caused by the drought. Finally, ground water modeling has shown that continuous pumping
could not cause the lake levels to decline at the rate seen in the record. For these reasons,
the cause of the decline in lake levels is considered to be a natural phenomenon and is not
the result of the permittee's activities. Therefore, Mr. Slyzuk should be allowed to continue
his agricultural operation and his permit should be renewed. ".

Re: Paving of University Avenue
CITY OF ANDOVER
Dear Honorable Mayor and City Council:
I write this letter to formally express my desire to have
University Avenue paved from 154th Avenue N.E. ( Oak Hill
Estates) south to where the existing asphalt paving
presently ends. Almost every prospective lot buyer for my
project asks when University Avenue will be improved to
154th Avenue.
Following is a formal petition detailing this request:
The undersigned, Continental Development Corporation, fee
owner of certain lots in Oak Hill Estates, Anoka County,
Minnesota, does hereby petition the City of Ham Lake to make
such efforts as are necessary to accomplish the widening and
paving of University Avenue from 154th Avenue N.E. south to
the point where the existing paving presently ends.
Continental Development Corporation requests that the
payment for said improvements be handled consistent with the
methods and policies the City of Ham Lake used to pay the
construction of the already improved portion of University
Avenue located south of 154th Avenue N.E.
Please give this request you consideration.
Feel free to call me if you have any questions, 757-7568.
Respectfully,
~).~

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NOVEMBER 28, 1990
NORTHERN COMMUNITIES OPPOSE TOLL ROAD ISSUE
The Mayors of Maple Grove, Brooklyn Park, Blaine, Coon Rapids, Spring Lake Park and
Anoka County Commissioners have been joined by the North Metro Mayors Associations
in opposing the 16 mile toll road proposed last week by the Minnesota Tollway
Authority, Inc.
The following joint statement was released today by Mayor Elwyn Tinklenberg of Blaine,
President of the North Metro Mayors Association.
"While the Mayors and Anoka County Commissioners generally support the concept of
innovative public/private ventures to construct and operate transportation facilities, they
believe that this proposal skims the cream off an already in-place and programmed
highway project."
"Our communities have waited some 30 years for TH 10 and TH 610 to work its way
through various stages of governmental approval. Both projects have now been identified
as high priorities for design and construction, with funding committed for TH 10. The
need for TH 10 and TH 610 Crosstown is great. It addresses a continuing east-west
access problem for our communities. TH 10 and TH 610 needs to be built. It is the
highest transportation priority for the communities of the North Metro area. It should
be built as part of the total metropolitan transportation system. But not as a toll road."
/
"We are particularly disappointed that the proponents of this idea never bothered to corne
to the communities directly affected by this proposal. They just simply announced one
day that construction of a toll road would begin in the fall of 1991. Their approach to
this proposal is presumptuous, and demonstrates a complete misunderstanding of what
the public's reaction would be."

''This proposal is unfair to the communities of the North Metro area as major portions
of this proposed project have already been paid for in tenns of right-away-acquisition,
environmental impact statement work, design and initial construction."
'We will not pennit outsiders to determine the fate of our communities' transportation
system. Our voices will be singly focused: TH 10 and TH 610 Crosstown will not be
a toll road!"

REQUEST
The Andover City Council is requested to approve the allocation
of 1989 Community Development Block Grant funds for the completion
of the Comprehensive Plan Update.
BACKGROUND
The city received $lO,855.00 for the Comprehensive Plan Update in
1990, a $9,145.00 decrease from 1989. The 1990 money has been
used at this time.
To insure the continuation of the Comprehensive Plan Update,
addi tional funding had to be secured. In talking with J.oanne
Wright, Community Development Manager, Anoka County, it was
discovered that the City could use funds remaining from the 1989
fiscal year.
The amount to be allocated to the Comprehensive Plan Update is
$l4,745.00. This amount will allow the City to continue with the
update for the remainder of the 1990 fiscal year.
RECOMMENDATION
staff recommends the City Council approve the allocation of 1989
Community Development Block Grant funds in the amount of
$14,745.00 for the continuation of the Comprehensive Plan update.

collateral for all deposits in excess of federal insurance or to
authorize the Treasurer or Chief Financial Officer to receive the
collateral. The last paragraph of the resolution clarifies

To date we haven't met with the Union.
I plan to work with Cy Smythe and the personnel committee to

Dear Mr. Abbott:
This letter is in response to your concern, as a bus driver, for the RR
crossing at Schwartzman's on Ferry Street in Anoka. I share your concern
for the safety of our students at this particular crossing, as well as
some others in the Coon Rapids area of our school district. The problem is
one of visibility, and in most cases will be resolved with some brush
removal along driver "site lines" from 10' behind the nearest track.
As I explained to you earlier, the crossing on Ferry St. in Anoka has been
an ongoing problem, not only with brush removal, but recently with the
stacking of aluminum cans along the fence to the west of the crossing. I
have made Burlington Northern RR aware of the problem, Schwartzman's, Dick
Martin, Ass't. Commissioner of Public Safety, MN Safety Council's task
force on RR crossings, MN DOE, and several others. Burlington RR has
inspected the site with school district staff and agreed that there was a
problem with visibility. Soon after some brush was removed along the fence
line, but the problem still exists.
I will be bringing the issue up at the December MN School Bus Safety
Committee meeting on the 19th. At that meeting I will present video
footage of the problem to members and any interested guests, Burlington RR
Operation Lifesaver engineers are invited.
I am in contact almost daily with different officials in regard to this
problem and won't drop it until we improve the safety at this and other RR
crossings in the Anoka-Hennepin area.
Enclosed are copies of two memos to all bus drivers regarding the extra
precautions needed at all RR crossings with visibility problems. Until
some of these problems are resolved it is essential that drivers exercise
extra care.
Thank you for your concern for the safety of our students. If you wish for
future information or updates on our progress with this issue, feel free
to call me at 422-5606.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
FROM:
Transportatio~ ~irectors and School
Tom Ne1so~
Commissioner of Education
Paul Tschida vr~
Commissioner of Public Safety
Bus Contractors
DATE: December 6, 1990
SUBJECT: Railroad Grade Crossing Safety
On Friday, November 16th, a collision between a school bus and a
train occurred in Miltona, Mn. One student passenger and the
driver of the school bus were killed.
School busltrain crashes are one of the greatest nightmares that
pupil transportation personnel can imagine. In the aftermath of
this tragedy, it is advisable that all districts and contractors
review their policies, procedures and training programs to
minimize the possibility that this type of crash will occur
again.
The November 16 crash is still being investigated. Ye may not
have the results of that investigation for some time. However,
there are some facts about railroad grade crossing use that are
vitally important for all motorists. Among those facts are:
*Trains are subject to the same laws of nature that
effect all of us. Trains, because of their great
weight, cannot stop in as short a distance as a car,
truck or bus.
*Trains cannot swerve to avoid other vehicles.
*The burden for avoiding crashes with trains must rest
with the drivers of the motor vehicles because they have
the greater degree of control over their vehicle.
Ye urge each of you to review your policies as welLas your
training program and materials relative to railroad grade
crossings. On the reverse of this memo you will find reference
to some resources which you may find helpful. .
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

RE: RR CROSSING PROCEDURES AND THE DANGER OF APATHETIC ATTITUDES
All of us were impacted by the tragedy in Miltona,MN last week, and as bus
drivers I know it is especially painful. We don't know for sure what
caused that train-school bus accident or what factors contributed to it.
We all grieve the loss of the 9 year old student and driver tl)at _were
ki lled.
We view a tragedy like this and automatically review our own situations
and try to ensure that nothing like this occurs in our school district. We
have taken steps contractually, (pg.4,Section F.Route Procedures
"Drivers shall stop at all railroad crossings (unless marked "exempt") to
ascertain that the tracks are clear and shall open the right front door
and look in both directions before proceeding to cross the tracks).This is
not new. We have always required you to make a complete stop, loaded or
unloaded, and open your door for better visibility and hearing.
Failure to stop for RR tracks or follow the above procedure, including
opening your service door is non-performance under this contract and
subject to a $25.00 fine per occurrence. If the incident is in any way a
near miss or jeopardizes the safety of students I will not allow that
driver to continue driving school bus in this school district. We must
view each and every RR crossing as a potential tragedy.
I contacted Burlington Northern RR about problems with visibility at
various crossings recently and this morning they had a crew observing
buses at the Crooked Lake Blvd.NW crossing in Coon Rapids. They observed
six buses go thru the crossing. Two buses made a complete stop, three made
a rolling stop,' and one bus didn't even attempt to stop. This must change
ilTlllediately!
Thank you for your attention to this problem...THINK SAFETY OF YOUR
STUDENTS AT ALL TIMES!!!
