Turtle Lake, Otter Tail Co., MN Dear Mr. Brennan: Enclosed is our response to your review comments, dated 11 October 2001, regarding the impact draining water from South Turtle Lake to the Pomme De Terre River would have on wetland easements under your jurisdiction (Enclosure 1). A preliminary study on the possibility of routing the water around wetland easement 683 to avoid potential erosion and sedimentation problems in the wetland as well as interfering with wildlife nesting habitats was also made. This was done in response to a telephone conversation between you and our engineer. A head loss of 6.5 feet would result using 1,000 feet of CMP (Enclosure 2). Environmental concerns, such as excavating near a wetland, would need to be addressed. An easement to install the pipe through private property would also be required. Additional backup data regarding flow rates, time required to lower the lake 1.5 feet, and various options studied is contained in our engineering report, dated August 2001, submitted to the Otter Tail Board of Commissioners. If you need a copy of the full report, please let us know. We are proposing an operational agreement on control of the discharge of water from South Turtle Lake contain the following as a minimum. a. The Fish and Wildlife Service will determine the time period when water can be discharged though the wetlands. Mr. Kevin Brennan Page 2 The Fish and Wildlife Service shall have final authority on starting and stopping operation of the pump if erosion, sedimentation, or damage to dikes become a major problem. b. If the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) or the the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (PCA) have reasonable cause to believe contaminants, pollutants, or exotic species are in the water of South Turtle Lake, the pump shall be shut off. The instructions shall come from the DNR or PCA. c. We believe high water levels are and will continue to be a problem on South Turtle Lake for a long period of time. Pumping the water into Water Basin 56-375W and allowing it to flow by gravity into Fiske Lake is the recommended method for lowering the water level of the lake. Please be assured our committee will work with you in every way to keep any damage to the wetlands to a minimum. If you have further questions please call me at 218-826-6772.

RECEIVED NOV 1 5 2001 LAND & RESOURCE Responses to F & WL comments dated 11 October 2001 RE: South Turtle Lake Project, MN Easement 683 - N1/2E1/4 Section Tordenskjold Twp. 1. Our proposed flow is 14.9 cfs. Concern is expressed^ about the velocities in the wet land. First, consider the velocity in the 24'’ culvert. Its area is 3.14 square feet. This indicates a velocity of 4.75 feet per second. However, this would rapidly attenuate as the flow fans out in the wet land. Velocities downstream of the culvert will quickly drop to below 1.0 feet per second. From the attached table, Bermuda grass on sandy silt can withstand a velocity of 6 feet per second. 2. Concern is expressed about flushing the wetlands. Consider the flushing rate of the wetland. The easement is nominallv 80 acres, or 73.7 acres if scaled from the attached twp map. Assume 50 acres of this area is actual wetland. Assume the average depth is 1.5 feet. The volume of me wetland is thus 75 acre feet. The proposed discharge of 14.9 cfs translates into a rate of 28.9 acre-feet per day. Thus the 14.9 cfs will exchange the wetland on an average of 2.60 days. This is assuming that the pumps are on 24 hours. If the pumps were on 12 hours per day, the exchange would be every 5.2 days. 3. Concern is expressed about erosion at the outlet of the pumping operations, erosion along the watercourse, and excessive sedimentation into the Service’s easement wetlands. Consider the pumping operations. Pumped water enters a pond upstream of Hwy 210. Velocity of the flow entering the pond will go to virtually zero. Any sediment in the pumped water will be dropped into the pond. As discussed above, the velocity in the culvert is 4.78 feet per second. This is the maximum velocity to be experienced. Consider the velocity in the wetland. Assume the average depth is 1.5 feet. The scaled narrowest width of the easement is 1270 feet. Assume one half of this actual wetland, or 635 feet. If one half of this conveys flow, or 318 feet, the flowing cross section area is 1.0x318 feet, or 318 square feet. This yields an average velocity of 0.047 feet per second, 2.8 feet per hour. This will not cause erosion. Unnumbered Comment. It is requested that pumping be conducted outside the waterfowl breeding season which extends from March 15^^ to August In view of the extremely low velocities and a probable 5.2 day volume exchange, it is my professional opinion that the proposed pumping would not interfere with waterfowl breeding. Easement 226X and 186X Pumping impacts will be monitored. Other comments. The total volume to be removed of water is estimated in the following manner. The area of South Turtle Lake is 630 acres. The desired drawdown is 1.5 feet. The volume of water thus 945 acre-feet. However, there is this added wrinkle: North Turtle Lake is currently discharging 10.5 acre-ft per day into South Turtle Lake. Therefore, the net pumping from South Turtle Lake is 18.4 acre-feet per day, not 28.9 acre-ft per day. If pumping one-half time, 103 days of pumping would be required. Of course, this assumes that heavy rains do not increase this volume, nor dry and windy weather reduce it. Separate ground water studies have not been undertaken. If ground water studies were undertaken, it would be required that pumping be conducted to verify the results. And pumping is our proposal. Harmful or exotic species have not been documented in South Turtle Lake. However, a lack of evidence is not evidence of lack. As discussed with the DNR, a species survey could be conducted. k\ I'>1EM 1110-2-1601 1 July 70 velocity or shear that will erode the channel.

I have reviewed the conditions for your proposed operational agreement and discussed them with our Regional Office in Fort Snelling, Minnesota. We would concur with such an agreement that included the following language/changes. • The Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) will determine the time period when water can be discharged through the Service’s wetland easement in the N1/2NE1/4 of Section 12, Tordenskjold Township. It is understood that this will generally be outside of the waterfowl breeding season. • The Service shall have final authority on starting and stopping operation of the pump if erosion, sedimentation, or damage to the dikes on their easement wetlands occurs. If damage to dikes on easement wetlands occurs, the South Turtle Lake Association agrees to repair the dikes to their original specifications. • It is agreed that this is a short term (less than two years) pumping operation designed to lower South Turtle Lake by 1.5 feet. This agreement does not permit or concur with permanent annual pumping from South Turtle Lake though the Service’s easement wetlands. • It is the responsibility of the South Turtle Lake Association to obtain permission from the affected private landowners, as well as those other local, state, and federal agencies with jurisdiction. If the above would be agreeable to your Association, please let me know and we will draft up the applicable Memorandum of Agreement for your signature. Although we can agree to your request under the conditions cited above, I feel your Association should be aware of some misinterpretations in your engineer’s response to our letter of October 11, 2001. In particular the following: • When computing flushing rates, the engineer erroneously used a legal description and lumped incorrect basin acreages for an inaccurate assumption of 50 acres of easement wetland. The two separate wetland basins are 2 acres and 4 acres in size and will be totally flushed approximately 10 and 5 times on a daily basis. • I ;; • The third paragraph on the second page of the engineer’s report again uses a legal description to calculate the amount of wetland and appears to intentionally calculate flows at the widest point in the wetland in an effort to show minimal impact. Flow rates for erosion purposes generally need to be calculated at the most restricted points of flow which are the spillways on the outlets of the wetlands and the narrowest points on the channels upstream and downstream of the wetland. The spillways for both wetlands are 10 feet wide and 1.5 feet high. Depending on downstream water levels at velocities higher than 1 foot per second, your pumping would exceed the capacity of these spillways and the dikes will be overtopped. This scenario would cause erosion of these spillways.and dikes. The engineer rendered a professional opinion that pumping and flushing of the wetlands would not affect waterfowl production during the breeding season. This opinion was based on inaccurate calculations (the basins would be flushed 5 and 10 times daily rather than once every 2.6 days). We would be interested in seeing any biological data supporting this opinion. In particular, the engineer’s data on impacts to zooplankton populations in the wetland basins. Other apparent misinterpretations include not considering the topographic fall from the culvert under Highway 210 to the easement wetland which according to USGS Quadrangle maps appears ■ to be at least l0+ feet in 600 feet. It also appears no consideration was given to the restricted nature of this channeljust south of the highway. It appears no topographic surveys have been done to gather correct data on these downstream areas. Also, the engineer’s “Permissible Channel Velocities” chart appears to be 30 years old, citing calculations that are 40+ years old. I suspect there are more current criteria. In addition, none of the channels contain Bermuda grass as it generally cannot grow in these northern climates. The channels/spillwaysT saw were in places bare earth or vegetated with reed canary grass. • ; • '■I Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Sincerely, Kevin J.

Sincerely, ' Marsha Bowman Recording Secretary RECEIVED OCT 1 5 2001 LAND & RESOURCE218/739-2291 October 11,2001 Mr. Bricker Johnsen, President South Turtle Lake Association Underwood, MN 56586 Dear Mr. Johnsen: I am writing regarding your letter of August 16, 2001, concerning draining water from South Turtle Lake through a series of wetlands eventually into the Pomme de Terre River. The information provided indicated water would be pumped at a rate of 15 cfs through a culvert under Highway 210 between sections 1 and 12 of Tordenskjold Township, Otter Tail County. It appeared the water would run though a series of wetlands in section 12, then into Fiske Lake which flows to the west through sections 9 & 10, eventually ending up in Long Lake, Stalker Lake and the Pomme de Terre River. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has Easements for Waterfowl Management Rights (Easement) covering wetlands in three locations along this route as was shown on the map you provided. We have inspected the land interests that are impacted by your proposed project and have the following comments: Easement 683X - N1/2NE1/4 Section 12 Tordenskjold Twp. 1. Your proposal will increase flows through the easement in section 12 of Tordenskjold Township covering wetlands #3 and #4 on the attached map. The water control structures (dikes) on these wetlands were not designed to handle the sustained high flows (15 cfs) you are proposing. It is our opinion that these flows would damage or wash out the two dikes eventually lowering or draining these wetlands. 2. The purpose of the easement covering the wetlands in section 12 is to protect these basins as waterfowl breeding habitat. The wetlands are valuable due to their exceptional ability to produce wetland plants and the invertebrates that provide food for waterfowl hens and their young. Your proposal to pump 15 cfs will completely “flush” the water in these wetlands on a daily basis significantly lowering if not eliminating their ability to sustain plants and invertebrates. 3. It is our experience that substantial erosion occurs at the outlet of pumping operations like you are proposing as well as along the watercourse due to sustained flows at much higher rates than normal. This erosion will create excessive levels of sedimentation into the Service’s easement wetlands. 2. It is our desire that you investigate alternative routes for these flows rather than running the water through the easement wetlands in the N1/2NE1/4 of section 12. If this is not possible, we would ask that pumping be conducted outside of the waterfowl breeding season which is March 15 to August 1. In addition, we would require that the amount of water discharged not create abnormal erosion and sedimentation or damage the dikes on the easement wetlands. If these dikes should erode or be damaged, we would require that they be immediately repaired to the Service’s satisfaction as well as protected from future damage. Easement 226X and 186X - Wl/2 SE1/4NE1/4, W1/2NE1/4SE1/4 Section 10 Tordenskjold Twp. and S1/2NE1/4NE1/4, SE1/4NE1/4, N1/2SE1/4 Section 9 Tordenskjold Twp. 1. It is our preliminary opinion that the easements in sections 9 and 10 of Tordenskjold Township would have limited impacts from flows of 15 cfs or less due to the fact that currently there is an intermittent stream with sustained flows through both easements. The easement wetland in section 10 appears to be large and deep enough to be minimally impacted by increased flow through “flushing” created by your proposed project. We feel the impacts of your proposed project on these two easements should be monitored and if damages are documented, changes be made in your pumping operations to mitigate these negative impacts. Your information did not provide a total amount of water proposed to be pumped nor did it provide an ending date (1 or 2 years ?) after which no further pumping would occur. Due to more serious long-range impacts to Service’s easements, we would be opposed to any arrangement that allows for annual pumping on a permanent basis. Although not directly related to impacts of Service land interests, we do have several other questions about your proposal. Have hydrologic studies been made of ground water flows into South Turtle Lake to determine how much this is contributing to the rise in the lake level? Will pumping exceed the input of groundwater? Have measures been taken to avoid introduction/migration of harmful or exotic species into the lake or downstream flowage? Sincerely, Kevin J.

We live 2.4 miles west Of Battle Lake on Hwy. 210, our E-911 address is 21026 Hecker Road There is a Culvert that runs under Hwy. 210 but it is a small 2 foot culvert and already half filled With sand and mud I believe that if the water is movedfrom South Turtle Lake the Small culvert will not be able to handle the amount of water and our property could end Up getting flooded in the process. I would very much appreciate it if someone would Come out and take a look at this and speak with me before a decision is made because There are other problems / would like to point out I am enclosing some pictures to show You the culvert, the flow to the culvert, and the pond which already feed through the Culvert Thank you for your time on this matter.

Sincerely Marsha Bowman Recording Secretary i U.S.FISHAWIXjDLCFESBBVICE*1 United States Department of the Interior FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE Route 1, Box 76 Fergus Falls, Minnesota 56537 IN REPLY REFER TO: 218/739-229: November 26, 2001 Mr. Bricker Johnsen, President South Turtle Lake Association Underwood, MN 56586 Dear Mr. Johnson; I received your letter of November 13, 2001, concerning the proposed pumping operations for South Turtle Lake. I have reviewed the conditions for your proposed operational agreement and discussed them with our Regional Office in Fort Snelling, Minnesota. We would concur with such an agreement that included the following language/changes. • The Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) will determine the time period when water can be discharged through the Service’s wetland easement in the N1/2NE1/4 of Section 12, Tordenskjold Township. It is understood that this will generally be outside of the waterfowl breeding season. • The Service shall have final authority on starting and stopping operation of the pump if erosion, sedimentation, or damage to the dikes on their easement wetlands occurs. If damage to dikes on easement wetlands occurs, the South Turtle Lake Association agrees to repair the dikes to their original specifications. • It is agreed that this is a short term (less than two years) pumping operation designed to lower South Turtle Lake by 1.5 feet. This agreement does not permit or concur with permanent annual pumping from South Turtle Lake though the Service’s easement wetlands. • It is the responsibility of the South Turtle Lake Association to obtain permission from the affected private landowners, as well as those other local, irtat;;, and federal agencies with Jurisdiction. If the above would be ag' eeable U; your .As.:;ociaiion, please let me know and we w'ill draft up the applicable Memorandum of Agreement for your signature. Although we can agree to your request under the conditions cited above, I feel your Association should be aware of some misinterpretations in your engineer’s response to our letter of October 11 2001. In particular the following: • When computing flushing rates, the engineer ei roneously used a legal description and lumped incorrect basin acreages for an inaccurate assumption of 50 acres of easement wetland, fhe two separate wetland basins are 2 acres and 4 acres in size and will be totally flushed approximately 10 and 5 times on a daily basis. 4 The third paragraph on the second page of the engineer’s report again uses a legal description to calculate the amount of wetland and appears to intentionally calculate flows at the widest point in the wetland in an effort to show minimal impact. Flow rates for erosion purposes generally need to be calculated at the most restricted points of flow which are the spillways on the outlets of the wetlands and the narrowest points on the channels upstream and downstream of the wetland. The spillways for both wetlands are 10 feet wide and 1.5 feet high. Depending on downstream water levels at velocities higher than 1 foot per second, your pumping would exceed the capacity of these spillways and the dikes will be overtopped. This scenario would cause erosion of these spillways and dikes. The engineer rendered a professional opinion that pumping and flushing of the wetlands would not affect waterfowl production during the breeding season. This opinion was based on inaccurate calculations (the basins would be flushed 5 and 10 times daily rather than once every 2.6 days). We would be interested in seeing any biological data supporting this opinion. In particular, the engineer's data on impacts to zooplankton populations in the wetland basins: Other apparent misinterpretations include not considering the topographic fall from the culvert under Highway 210 to the easement wetland which according to USGS Quadrangle maps appears to be at least 10+ feet in 600 feet. It also appears no consideration was given to the restricted nature of this channel just south of the highway. It appears no topographic surveys have been done to gather correct data on these downstream areas. Also, the:engineer’s “Permissible+ ■ Channel Velocities” chart appears to be 30 years old, citing calculations that are 40+ years old-.. I suspect there are more current criteria. In addition, none of the channels contaiir.Bermuda,grass as it generally cannot grow in these northern climates. The channels/spillways 1 saw were in places bare earth or vegetated with reed canary grass. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Sincerely, Keviii J.

He has been doing this for the DNR already. The level we will drop lake to is 1320’ this is about a foot and a half above the ordinary high water mark of 1318.4”as set by DNR. The DNR will install a monitor into Fiske lake and this will be monitored by Charles Worum of the Lake improvement district. We cannot pump into Fiske Lake unless that lake is at or below its ordinary high water mark. The DNR has informed us that after Fiske Lake there is enough fall so no monitoring is necessary by us, DNR will let us know if there are any problems. The South Turtle Lake Improvement District will be responsible for the operation of pumping South Turtle lake. •- ; AprU 16, 2002 Land & Resource Management 121 W. Junius Fergus FaUs, MN 56537 ■1, ?

Benson Sub-Impoundment, J. Clark Salyer NWR, North Dakota 2. Edw^ds Waterfowl Production Area, Cavalier County, North Dakota Date of installation:1997 (2) Crisafiilli™ Engine-On-Frame Trailer Pumps, LP (Liquid Propane) powered.Equipment Used: Project Description: Ducks Unlimited of North Dakota needed to flood two (2) areas in the state for duck habitation. Both applications were fairly low head. They wanted approximately 4000 GPM at about 15'. They approached SRS Crisafiilli due to the fact that Crisafiilli had done a lot of work with the.U.S.^Fish & Wildlife Service and they had seen many Crisafiilli pumps, some up to 25 years old, working in the state. Key Elements of the Job: These two (2) locations were in Federal Wildlife areas and the standard water pump would not work. The pumps had to be self-contained, highly portable, propane powered, and had to have minimal impact on the surrounding area. The units also needed to be able to be backed down a 2:1 slope while keeping the engine level during operation. Solution: SRS Crisafiilli accomplished the desired results by custom building two engine-on-frame trailer pumps, one for each area. A Ford LP powered engine with 40 continuous horsepower was chosen. A 5,000 lb. mobile tank is used to supply LP to the engine. To handle the 2;1 slope, the unit needed to be custom designed with an operating position and a transport position. The standard Crisafiilli portable trailer pumps operate at a 4:1 slope. When the Ducks Unlisted pump is m the operating position oh level ground, the top of the pump is about 10' high. Realizing that this configuration would be very top heavy for transportation, the pump is lowered to a more manageable height of approximately 5 feet duiing transport. Since these pump systems were going to be in a wildlife area, regulations smd that the units must not be readily visible, precluding the use of standard Crisafiilli red paint. A desert tan color was selected to blend in with the surrounding area and enh^ce the aesthetic accept^ility of the systems. Results: The SRS Crisafiilli pumps handled the job very well. They met all the performance requirements set forth.

April 12, 2002 11:25 AM From: To: Sent: Subject: Pump Noise levels Crisafulli Pumps finally called me back today. They have been able to obtain a noise level of 60 dB at 23 feet. This is the distance at which OSHA measures noise levels. This engine was on a dredge and was done for UC Davis in California. He said it was quite expensive to get the noise level this quiet. He felt that that noise levels that a stock engine/pump package create will not be a factor in our application. The noise level generated by a stock engine is 92 dB at 23 feet. This is the figure we should state for the county. I made some measurements on a USGS map of our pumping area today^he people who have stated their noise concerns are located approximately 3000 feet from the point of the pump location. Their dwelling is located about the same distance from TH 210. The noise created by the pump will have to go over two rises and three bands of trees to get to their dwelling. Given these facts, the Cirsafullj rep indicated that they will not be disturbed unduly by the noise, and in most cases, the ambient wind will drown it out entierly. ■ ; Have a good weekend!

Turtle Lake, Otter Tail Co., MN Dear Mr. Brennan: Enclosed is our response to your review comments, dated 11 October 2001, regarding the impact draining water from South Turtle Lake to the Pomme De Terre River would have on wetland easements under your jurisdiction (Enclosure 1). A preliminary study on the possibility of routing the water around wetland easement 683 to avoid potential erosion and sedimentation problems in the wetland as well as interfering with wildlife nesting habitats was also made. This was done in response to a telephone conversation between you and our engineer. A head loss of 6.5 feet would result using 1,000 feet of CMP (Enclosure 2). Environmental concerns, such as excavating near a wetland, would need to be addressed. An easement to install the pipe through private property would also be required. Additional backup data regarding flow rates, time required to lower the lake 1.5 feet, and various options studied is contained in our engineering report, dated August 2001, submitted to the Otter Tail Board of Commissioners. If you need a copy of the full report, please let us know. We are proposing an operational agreement on control of the discharge of water from South Turtle Lake contain the following as a minimum. a. The Fish and Wildlife Service will determine the time period when water can be discharged though the wetlands. Mr. Kevin Brennan Page 2 b. The Fish and Wildlife Service shall have final authority on starting and stopping operation of the pump if erosion, sedimentation, or damage to dikes become a major problem. c. If the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) or the the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (PCA) have reasonable cause to believe contaminants, pollutants, or exotic species are in the water of South Turtle Lake, the pump shall be shut off. The instructions shall come from the DNR or PCA. We believe high water levels are and will continue to be a problem on South Turtle Lake for a long period of time. Pumping the water into Water Basin 56-375W and allowing it to flow by gravity into Fiske Lake is the recommended method for lowering the water level of the lake. Please be assured our committee will work with you in every way to keep any damage to the wetlands to a minimum. If you have further questions please call me at 218-826-6772. Sincerely, Bricker Johnsen, Pres. Cc:Terry Lejecher, MN DNR Bill Kalar, Otter Tail Co. Land & Res. Office Roland Sauck, 1727 Court St. S., Fergus Falls, MN. Responses to F & WL comments dated 11 October 2001 RE: South Turtle Lake Project, MN Easement 683 - N1/2E1/4 Section Tordenskjold Twp. 1. Our proposed flow is 14.9 cfs. Concern is expressed, about the velocities in the wet land. First, consider the velocity in the 24'’ culvert. Its area is 3.14 square feet. This indicates a velocity of 4.75 feet per second. However, this would rapidly attenuate as the flow fans out in the wet land. Velocities downstream of the culvert will quickly drop to below 1.0'feet per second. From the attached table, Bermuda grass on sandy silt can withstand a velocity of 6 feet per second. 2. Concern is expressed about flushing the wetlands. Consider the flushing rate of the wetland. The easement is nominally 80 acres, or 73.7 acres if scaled from the attached twp map. Assume 50 acres of this area is actual wetland. Assume the average depth is 1.5 feet. The volume of the wetland is thus 75 acre feet. The proposed discharge of 14.9 cfs translates into a rate of 28.9 acre-feet per day. Thus the 14.9 cfs will exchange the wetland on an average of 2.60 days. This is assuming that the pumps are on 24 hours. If the pumps were on 12 hours per day, the exchange would be every 5.2 days. 3. Concern is expressed about erosion at the outlet of the pumping operations, erosion along the watercourse, and excessive sedimentation into the Service’s easement wetlands. Consider the pumping operations. Pumped water enters a pond upstream of Hwy 210. Velocity of the flow entering the pond will go to virtually zero. Any sediment in the pumped water will be dropped into the pond. As discussed above, the velocity in the culvert is 4.78 feet per second. This is the maximum velocity to be experienced. Consider the velocity in the wetland. Assume the average depth is 1.5 feet. The scaled narrowest width of the easement is 1270 feet. Assume one half of this actual wetland, or 635 feet. If one half of this conveys flow, or 318 feet, the flowing cross section area is 1.0x318 feet, or 318 square feet. This yields an average velocity of 0.047 feet per second, 2.8 feet per hour. This will not cause erosion. Unnumbered Comment. It is requested that pumping be conducted outside the waterfowl breeding season which extends from March 15^^ to August In view of the extremely low velocities and a probable 5.2 day volume exchange, it is my professional opinion that the proposed pumping would not interfere with waterfowl breeding. Easement 226X and 186X Pumping impacts will be monitored. Other comments. The total volume to be removed of water is estimated in th^e following manner. The area of South Turtle Lake is 630 acres. The desired drawdown is 1.5 feet. The volume of water thus 945 acre-feet. However, there is this added wrinkle: North Turtle Lake is currently discharging 10.5 acre-ft per day into South Turtle Lake. Therefore, the net pumping from South Turtle Lake is 18.4*acre-feet per day, not 28.9 acre-ft per day. If pumping one-half time, 103 days of pumping would be required. Of course, this assumes that heavy rains do not increase this volume, nor dry and windy weather reduce it. Separate ground water studies have not been undertaken. If ground water studies were undertaken, it would be required that pumping be conducted to verily the results. And pumping is our proposal. Harmful or exotic species have not been documented in South Turtle Lake. However, a lack of evidence is not evidence of lack.

Parts of yard that bordered the pond are also becoming flooded. The Heckers, who live directly south of the pond South Turtle Lake’s water is going into, are losing part of their yard due to the lack of a sufficient outlet into Fiske Lake. Pumping on Turtle Lake continues Betty’s yard, drains into Fiske Lake through a culvert that runs under Highway 210, but that culvert is half plugged. According to Betty, they did as much as they could to pre vent what is now happening by approaching the planners with pictures of the plugged culvert, and they told her it would not be necessary to clear it. The Heckers have been in touch with the district and county officials who have assured them it will be taken care of promptly. The Minnesota Department of Transportation sent someone to clear the culvert Monday, and they hope that will allow the water through at a more rapid pace so it doesn’t settle in the Heckers’ yard. “We said before we started that if the pumping caused any one problems, we would stop,” said Bricker Johnson, president of the South Turtle Lake District. “We will do every thing we can to make the water in their yard go down.” The Heckers said they will not ask the district to discontin ue pumping unless the steps being t^en do not cause the water to recede.

There are a number of homes on the lake that are close to being damaged by the abnormally high water we are experiencing. It is likely sewer systems are not functioning as they should be. And as with most all high water problems, there is erosion. Generally speaking, the high water is resulting in a degradation of South Turtle Lake, a natural resource of importance to all and especially to those who live on the lake. Your concerns about wetlands with easements is appreciated. Our DNR survey crew has done a survey downstream of highway 210. Although I have not seen the survey yet, my understanding is that the swale which will carry the water is broad and wide. Perhaps the survey will address the water control structures you are concerned about on easement 683X in Nl/2 NEl/4 Section 12 of Tordenskjold Township. We could then calculate velocity and be more specific about erosion concerns. I am very skeptical of the potential to completely flush the wetlands downstream of this proposal. There needs to be an adequate mixing mechanism for this to occur. I would agree there would be some flushing. However, there are several wetland systems in our area that have significant flow through them that continue to be valuable waterfowl production wetlands. The Swan Lake to Ten Mile Lake is an example that comes to mind. The erosion at the outlet of a pumping operation is a concern of mine also. Any permit issued would require construction to prevent this from occurring. The pumped water would enter the wetland north of S.H. 210 and the energy easily dissipated in the basin, by a pipe discharging to the water surface. If necessary other techniques are available. Looking at the topo sheets, it is not apparent to me that there is another alternative route for this water. For at least the last two years or longer, the lake level has been above the OHW causing DNR Information; 651-296-6157 • 1-888-646-6367 • TTY: 651-296-5484 • 1-800-657-3929 An Equal Opportunity Employer Who Values Diversity Printed on Recycled Paper Containing a Minimum ot 20% Post-Consumer Waste Page 2 South Turtle Lake Kevin Brennan problems previously mentioned. Perhaps you have identified an alternative route. Likely you are aware that in the 20* Century South Turtle Lake did outlet in this direction according to a personal conversation with an “old timer” local resident. In the past, you have brought up the issue of studying the groundwater flows into the highwater lakes. This is a good academic question, one that takes some money and some time to address. In my view, providing an outlet in these situations regardless of a study does at least one of two things; 1) slow the rate of rise or 2) stabilize the lake level. Lake level stabilization has been reached on West Silent - East Silent Lake and on Jewett Lake. From a property owners and a resource point of view, this is preferable to waiting while someone does another study to determine the rate of groundwater inflow. It would be nice to have a graduate student to do this but we don’t have the money or the time. If the objective was to maintain a certain level, such info would be helpful. In most cases the objective is to eventually return to water levels closer to the OHW. As to the issue of harmful or exotic species, none are known related to this project. There are none expected especially since we are in the same watershed. If there are any, please advise so the association can make plans to deal with them. Your concerns are appreciated. If this project becomes a reality, I am hopeful that those concerns can be addressed in a manner that will be mutually beneficial to the natural resources in the area. Sincerely, Terrence R.

They apparently felt nesting habitat on small wet lands downstream could be negatively impacted to the end of July by this pumping. The South Turtle L^e LID entered into an agreement with the U.S. Fish and WildUfe Service which addressed the time the LID could start pumping. Private property interests involved did not want any pumping after Oct. 1. Thus the South Turtle Lake LID has two months each year to try to address their problem. It is my opinion that a longer pumping period would be more benefi cial, but other interests must be addressed also. This is a short window of opportunity to address a very serious issue. With the lake being more than 3 feet above the Ordinary High Water Mark, structures and property values are being threatened as well as the lake itself. The DNR Division of Waters has encouraged a solution that addresses all the resource i.ssues in the area. South Turtle Lake and its property owners are an important resource in the area.

August 2001 Dear Bill: We have reviewed the subject report as requested. In general the report does not appear to adequately address the downstream impacts of lowering South Turtle Lake. It appears that the report has pointed out the proper historic route for the natural drainage of these lakes during extreme high water events, see the attached map of Tordenskjold Township from the Standard Atlas of Otter Tail County Minnesota. Geo. A. Ogle & Co., 1912. Additionally, the report does cover the issues of transferring water from North Turtle Lake to South Turtle Lake, the pumping capacity needed to move the water to Basin 56-375W, and the gravity flows through the Trunk Highway (TH) 210 culvert in some detail. However, this is where the analysis appears to end. The report seems to lack detail in several areas, such as: The environmental or property impacts of increasing the water elevation of Basin 56- 375Wby 2.61 feet. 1. How the water will actually get from the south ditch of TH 210 to Fiske Lake and ultimately to the Pomme De Terre River. 2. There is no analysis of the impacts to Fiske Lake.3. There is no analysis of other culverts downstream of Fiske Lake and the impacts the additional flow may have. 4. There is no real analysis of the flood proofing option.5.

'i. ■ V !• Sincerely, Otter Tail County Highway Department :: Charles H. Grotte, P.E. Assistant County Engineer Attachment cc: Rick West 2; :• •'r I i Review of Report on Lowering of Lake Levels South Turtle Lake Otter Tail County Lake Improvement District Ashton Engineering, Inc. August 2001 1. Paragraph 2 - Refers to the normal high water elevation for South Turtle Lake as 1318.4, however, there is no documentation from the MNDNR to support this. 2. Paragraph 2 - Indicates that the size of Fiske Lake is unknown, whereas Appendix D includes a Lake Information Report that shows its size being 250 acres. Additionally, this paragraph indicates that the elevation of the lake is also unknown, when Exhibit C-1 page 2 shows an elevation of 1317.0 for Fiske Lake. 3. Paragraph 3, Last Section - The statement about water flowing from North Turtle Lake to South Turtle Lake when the elevation exceeds 1326.1 does not make sense as North Turtle Lake is apparently already flowing into South Turtle Lake. It should be clarified to state that when the elevation of North Turtle Lake exceeds 1326.1 it flows. As written the statement appears to be referring to the elevation of South Turtle Lake. 4. Paragraph 5, 2"‘* Section - The survey team appears to have been with the MnDNR not MnDOT, based on the document in Appendix B. 5. Paragraph 5 - Based on a Tordenskjold Township map found in the Standard Atlas of Otter Tail County Minnesota by Geo. A. Ogle & Co. published in 1912 there does appear to have been an outlet at the southeast comer of South Turtle Lake connecting to Fiske Lake at that time. See the attached map. According to this map South Turtle Lake was much larger at that time covering the entire north half of Section 1, Tordenskjold Township and large areas in the south half as well. 6. Paragraph 5 - The location of Basin 56-375 W is not clearly identified on any of the attached maps. Assume it is the small pond with an elevation of 1325 that lies southeast of South Turtle Lake on Exhibit A-1. It would be good to have a map that clearly identifies the drain way anticipated all the way to the Pomme De Terre River. 7. Paragraph 6 - The pumping option assumes that the water would eventually flow to the Pomme De Terre River by gravity once it reaches Basin 56-375W. However, the water elevation of Basin 56-3 75 W shown on Exhibit B-1 page 6 is 1326.95 and the water elevation south of Trunk Highway 210 is 1326.5. From Exhibit C-1 page 2 the elevation of Fiske Lake is 1317.0. Thus with the ditch water elevation south of Tmnk Highway 210 being 1326.5 and Fiske Lake being 1317.0 there appears to be some type of blockage between the ditch and the lake preventing the water from moving a little over 1/2 mile. 8. Paragraph 6 - Just to the west of Fiske Lake there is a Township Road called Oakdale Road. This road crosses the drainage path of water flowing from Fiske Lake to Long Lake. While mentioned in passing in the Recommendation of Paragraph 10 no analysis is provided on this or any other culverts that may exist downstream. 9. Paragraph 8 - The potential flood proofing solution to the problem is apparently dismissed without any formal analysis. The report does not even mention how many residehces or septic systems there are or would be impacted by higher lake levels. While’flood proofing may be cost prohibitive it should be given some level of analysis. 10. Paragraph 10, Section - The analysis does not appear to address impacts to Fiske Lake, as stated here, the analysis appears to stop where the water crosses Trunk Highway 210. 11. Paragraph 10, Section - It is commented here that additional pumping may be required, whereas the analysis in Appendix C shows that the culvert under Trunk Highway 210 will control the flow. Verify that additional pumping is possible. 12. Paragraph 10, 9^'’ Section - It would seem that rising the water level in Basin 56- 375 W by 2.61 feet (see existing and proposed elevations in Exhibit C-1 pages 2 and 9) may have some negative environmental impacts. 13. Paragraph 10, 10‘*’ Section - Again, the analysis does not appear to address impacts to Fiske Lake, as stated here, the analysis appears to stop where the water crosses Trunk Highway 210. 14. Paragraph 10, 11'*’ Section - This cursory-summary of the downstream culverts should be backed up with more detail on size and elevation of all downstream culverts in the study area.4; 15. Paragraph 11c- Need to quantify the impacts to the mobile home by Trunk Highway 210 and mitigate damages. >• •> 1. 4 .1.

Commissioner Mosher stated that there are people losing property and it appears that someone may have plugged a culvert/outlet out of North Turtle Lake, where the water would flow south. DNR Hydrologist, Terry Lejcher, drew a diagram of the situation. He explained that north of North Turtle Lake is a township road shared by two townships and south is an abandoned railroad ti;gstle. A 36” pipe goes through the railroad trestle going south and south of that is CSAHQ^with an 18” pipe under it and then the water flows south to South Turtle Lake. The pipe going under the railroad is plugged. Mr. Lejcher stated that he has met with the townships with the idea of installing an 18” structure to the west of North Turtle Lake with a gate to monitor the flow of water. Mr. Lejcher requested that the County contribute to the cost of this project to assist the townships. A cost estimate will be obtained and Mr. West and Mr. Lejcher will return to the County Board.

Chairman Block opened the Public Hearing to issue bonds for conduit financing for Productive Alternatives, Inc. to build a detoxification center. Hearing no opposition to the financing, and noting that this is a good project for the area and provides a needed service, the County Board passed two resolutions (2005 - 35 and 2005 - 36), which are attached as Attachment B and Attachment C. County Ditch No. 31 Ditch Inspector, Randy Wasvick discussed water flowage from South Turtle Lake, located in Tordenskjold Township, and provided a map showing the flow of water when water is pumped out of South Turtle Lake. The water eventually flows into Ditch No. 31. He expressed concern for high water around 200*^ Street. Bricker Johnson from the South Turtle Lake Improvement District noted that pumping water out of South Turtle Lake is regulated by the State DNR and if water is high downstream, pumping cannot take place. County Attorney, David Hauser, stated that the situation is a diminimus matter. The County Board, as the drainage authority, could tell the South Turtle LID to stop pumping into Ditch No. 31, at any time. Commissioners requested that the water levels be monitored. No action was taken. County Ditch No. 37 Mr. Wasvick reported that there is a control on the outlet of Bass Lake that goes into Ditch No. 37.

SOUTH TURTLE LAKE LOCATION AND FEATURES South Turtle Lake is located in the south center jportion of Ottertail County, Minnesota. The lake encompasses the four townships of Tordenskjoid, Sverdrup, Everts, and Clitheral. The drainage area of the lake is relatively small and localized. Normal high water elevation for the lake, as determined by the DNR, is 1318.4. The normal size of the lake is 630 acres. North Turtle Lake is located north of County Road 122 and South Turtle Lake. North Turtle Lake (1,603 acres) drains into South Turtle Lake through a culvert when lake levels exceed a certain elevation. Lake is located south of State Highway 210 and South Turtle The size and elevation of the lake is unknown at this There is no direct connection between South Turtle Lake and Fiske Lake. Fiske Lake. time. Fiske Lake flows into surrounding lakes which eventually flows into the Pomme De Terre River. 3. CAUSE OF HIGH WATER LEVELS There appears to be three reasons why the lake level is rising:1.. Heavier than normal precipitation over the past 12 years (reference MRCC weather data for Fergus Falls). a. Heavy precipitation occurring in the fall of the year, allowing very little evaporation to occur (reference above). b. Flows from North Turtle Lake currently entering South Turtle Lake. c. The lake level is currently at Elevation 1321.55. Some dwellings are experiencing minor flooding problems and many septic systems are in danger of being inundated. Higher water levels will affect their design and function capability and pollution on the lake will occur. A chart provided by the DNR indicates the water level of the lake in 1988-89 was Elevation 1317.4. The present water level as measured on 18 June-2001, was Elevation 1321.55, a rise of The chartapproximately 4.15 feet over the past 12 years. also shows one foot of the rising lake levels occurred during When water exceeds Elevation 1326.1, thethe past year. invert elevation of the 18-inch culvert connecting the two lakes. North Turtle Lake will, flow by gravity into South Turtle Lake.Normal evaporation rates are largely negated by this condition. Evaporation rates for this area is 23 to 28 inches per year in which 5-1/2 inches can occur during each month of July and August. 4 . ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS The Lake Development District considered various alternatives to reduce the rising water levels to the ordinary high water level of Elevation 1318.4 (approximately a three-foot drop) if possible.If lake levels cannot be lowered, other options 2 j;_. The various alternatives and optionswere' also considered, considered in this report are: Gravity drainage.a. b. Pumping. Siphoning.c. d. Floodproofing. Do nothing.e. (OPTION 1)5. GRAVITY DRAINAGE Gravity drainage from South Turtle Lake to Fiske Lake was studied using existing maps and data obtained; from various Government agencies. The maps and data are included as Appendix A to the report. The natural drainage of the lake is toward the east/southeast as indicated on Exhibit A-l and Exhibit A-2.It was pointed out that a trail ,with a bridge or some type of outlet' may have existed years ago that allowed outflow from the lake at .certain water elevations. However, further investigation by a Minnesota Department of Transportation (MN DOT) survey team on 27 May 1999, indicated they could not find any remnants of an old bridge, nor was there a definable channel or ditch on (See MN DOT Office Memorandum - .•i. i-either side of the trail. Exhibit B-2.) The survey crew also shot elevations at the alleged outlet. A section through the trail is shown on Page 5 of the computa tions (Exhibit B-1) . They also shot additional elevations of the Water Basin (identified as Water Level Basin 56-375W)., the 3 bottom of the channel leading to a culvert under State Highway- 210, the culvert invert elevations as well as the top elevations of the culvert, and the channel bottom elevation 40 feet downstream of the culvert, and the size was unavailable. The culvert was plugged Additional data provided by MN DOT (Exhibit B-3), shows the diameter of the culvert at 24 inches with an inlet invert elevation of Elevation 1325.34. A profile of the channel, basin, and culvert is shown on Page 6 of the computations. Since the lake level is currently at Elevation 1321.5, the Water Basin elevation at 1326.95, and the highway inve^rt culvert elevation at 1325.34, it is apparent water could not flow by gravity through the area in question until lake levels reached Elevation 1325.5, even if the alleged bridge was in Furthermore, the channel elevation downstream from theplace. culvert is 1325.9 which means at least four to five feet of excavation would be required to allow water to flow by gravity Since this area is currently designated a wetland area, obtaining a permit to dredge a ditch would be This option would cause major to Fiske Lake. extremely difficult, environmental problems. The advantages and disadvantages of lowering the lake by gravity drainage are as follows: Gravity drainage is a positive method of lowering the lake levels since flow is by gravity, required. a. No manpower would be Operating costs would be minimal.b. 4 Approval of the property ovmer would be easier toc. obtain.J; n-i pat^vantaaes r:Excavation to install a new culvert (24-inch A ditch leading to the culvert a. diameter) would be required, may be required. A structure would be required to control flows during periods of high water levels on Fiske Lake. b. The culvert under State Highway 210 would need to be lowered by at least four feet. c. The Water Basin 56-375W would be lowered or completely drained which would be unacceptable to the MN DNR. d. The natural flow line of the ditch south of State Highway 210 would also need to be excavated for some distance This would require permission e. downstream toward Fiske Lake. from an additional property owner as well as a permit from the MN DNR to alter an existing wetland.Permission to excavate would be difficult to obtain. . 6. PUMPING - (OPTION 2) The second option considered was pumping the water over the old trail and into Water Basin 56-375W and allowing the water to flow by gravity under the State Highway 210 culvert to the existing drainage channel leading to Fiske Lake, then flow by gravity through a series of lakes and channels into the Pomme De Terre River. It would The culvert under State Highway 210 would need to be cleaned out under this proposal since it is 90 percent plugged with silt.Other locations for 5 the pumps were investigated, but because of the high head potential (40 feet), a requirement for a new culvert under State Highway 210, extensive ditching requirements through private properties, would make these locations vfery costly as well as having a major impact on the environment. • Two types of pumping stations were studied as to their advantages and disadvantages.One type of pump station would use Crisafulli Pumps driven by either diesel or electric This type of pump is used extensively during floodpower. fighting efforts to remove interior drainage.The pump would be backed into the lake and a discharge hose or pipe laid over the top (or through) the embankment.Set up time is minimal. The second type of pump station would involve constructing a permanent structure housing submersible pumps driven by electrical power. The merits of either method of pumping are listed below. Crisafulli P^impg a. Advantages: (1)Temporary - can be used once to lower lake and removed. Minimal impact to the environment.(2) (3)Can be leased from the pump manufacturer (maybe able to obtain through a Government agency).

WATER SIPHON - (OPTION 3) A water siphon (which depends on air pressure) was investigated and eliminated since the elevation of the lake (1321.50) is lower than the water basin (1326.95) . siphon was used, the basin would backflow into the lake. If a water 8. FLOODPROOFING - (OPTION 4) A Floodproofing the residences is also a viable option.

RRrOMMRTJPATION Pumping the water into Water Basin 56-375W and allowing it to flow by gravity into Fiske Lake (Option 2) is the recommended method for lowering the water level of the lake. Using Crisafulli pumps (see Exhibit C-2) is the preferred method of pumping rather than constructing a permanent type pump station.These pumps are removable, cost effective, and would have a minimal impact on the environment, purchased or leased. cost comparison as well as storage considerations. The pumps,could be The final decision should be made on a Design and hydraulic computations are shown in Exhibit, C-1. The numbers show what impact pumping would have on the water level of Basin 56-375W and residents along Fiske Lake, rates and drawdown capacities are also depicted. Flow The water flowing into South Turtle Lake from North Turtle Lake is a: problem that must be considered before attempting to lower the lake levels.North Turtle Lake had a normal water area of 1,603 acres and a water elevation of 1328.12 in 1999. V 9 r'“- ;i since the controlling elevation of the culvert under County Road 122 is 1326.1, North Turtle Lake must be lowered approximately two feet before water will stop flowing through the culvert.This requirement would require approximately 305 days to accomplish before the lake level of South Turtle This time period could be prolonged depending on the amount of precipitation falling over the same As shown above, it may not be practical to pump Lake could be lowered. time period, both lakes down at the same time. One solution is to block the flows from North Turtle Lake on a temporary basis until South Turtle Lake can be drawn down to Elevation 1320.0 (or about 1.5 feet). The impact to the property owners along North Turtle Lake as a result of this action is shown in Exhibit C-1. The water level could increase 7.1 inches during the time frame required to drop South Turtle Lake 1.5 feet.If water levels should exceed a predetermined elevation (say 1328.0) during that time period, flow through the culvert would be restored, agreement with the North Turtle Lake property owners would be required. A written Once the lake level of South Turtle Lake is at Elevation 1320.0, flow through the culvert could be restored. Additional pumping would probably be required at that-time. The time required to lower South Turtle Lake to Eleva tion 1320.0 is approximately 90 days under favorable weather conditions. The second solution is to allow North Turtle Lake to flow by gravity into South Turtle Lake since the connecting culvert is small.Calculations show that flows are in the order of The Crisafulli pump is capable of pumping10.5 acre-feet/day. 10 30 acre-feet/day. lowered^about 19.5 acre-feet/day. recommended in this report. This means South Turtle Lake could be This-is the method To insure a proper supply of water to feed the pump, a sump may have to be excavated approximately four feet deep. Clearing and grubbing of the area is also required to back the Preliminary investigation with the DNRpump into the water. Division of Fish and Wildlife indicated a screen to prevent fish from getting into the pump impeller is not required. Removal of cattails through a small opening to the pond maybe required to keep water flowing to the pump. It is expected flows in the range of 6,000 to 7,000 gallons per minute will be discharged into Water Basin 56-375W. water level in the basin may rise somewhat as shown in Exhibit C-1, causing, minimal damage to the surrounding area. Water-will also encroach on the land where a mobile home is located. Exhibit C-1. The Again, water damage should be minimal as shown in Widening the channel leading to the culvert under State Highway 210 and removing the silt from the culvert, will aid in keeping damages to a minimum. Flows to Fiske Lake after leaving the culvert should not present a problem and should not affect the lake levels on Fiske Lake (see Exhibit C-l). In case of a high water event on Fiske Lake, the pumps could be shut off until the high water recedes. The current flows from Fiske Lake through a township culvert was quite fast as observed during a field inspection, culvert under Marks Sand and Gravel Company appears to be free The 48-inch culvert under County The culvert under the township The flowing but was sluggish. Road 119 was also sluggish, road to North Long Lake appeared to be 36 or 48 inches in 11 diameter. The inlet and outlet were both submerged at the time of the inspection. The flow did not appear to be restricted. 11. SIGNIFICAMT ACTIONS The following items should be resolved before a pump is purchased or leased: Obtain permit to pump South Turtle Lake water into Water Basin 56-375W. a. Inform Fiske Lake property owners of the effect the water would have on their lake levels. b.

GONGLUSIONS The study concluded that the water level on South Turtle Lake can be lowered by pumping the water into an adjacent water basin and allowing the water to flow by gravity into Fiske Lake and eventually into the Pomme De Terre River. Rise and fall of lake levels is cyclic as shown in Table l of the report, and over a long period of time, the lake should return,to more normal levels.In the interim, the prudent approach , to the high water problem is to lower the lake by the use of pumps.'•I r. 13 SODTH TURTLE LAKE GENERAL INFORMATION North Turtle Lake - Class.

This area was pointed out by Mr. Art Wegstrom, an 85 year old resident. Following are the elevations we found at the alleged outlet: K Water level. South Turtle Lake Top of steep slope between lake and old road grade (now a trail) C' Top general between top of slope and trail • A, NE toe of trail at previous location of a bridge over the alleged highwater outlet 1331.6 Top NE edge of trail Top SW edge of trail V,SW toe of trail Note: This is where Mr. Wegstrom claims that he observed outflow from the lake and speared suckers in 1920. There are no remnants of the old bridge, nor is there a definable channel or ditch on either side of the trail. As per the toe elevations the water would have had to be approximately 11' higher to outlet at this area. 1320.60 1327.7 1328.3 1336.1 ' 1335.8 1329.6 On slope between the frail and Basin 56-375W Water level. Basin 56-375W 1328.3 1326.95 Following are some additional elevations we found at the outlet of Basin 56-375W (in the SE-SE-SE, Sec. 1-132-41): C'Water level Basin 56-375W Bottom at beginning of channel leading to culvert l-.: Channel bottom at recently removed beaver dam Water level at same location 1326.95 1324.7 1326.3 ■ 1326.95 1325.9 1326.52 ■ 1326.1 1326.0 1327.61 1327.59 Channel bottom approximately V^ way between beaver dam and culvert Headwater at Hwy. 210 Flowline at end of upstream apron of Hwy. 210 culvert Flowiine at upstream culvert opening Topjupstream end of concrete culve Top downstream end of culvert EXHIBIT B-2 OFFICE MEMORANDUM - STATE OF MINNESOTA - SUBJECT: SOUTH TURTLE LAKE Flowline at downstream culvert opening Flowline at end: of downstream apron Tailwater at culvert Channel bottom = 40' downstream of culvert Note: No size was determined on the Hwy. 210 culvert 1325.4 1325.3 1326.50 1325.6 At South Turtle Lake Resort on the north side of the lake, Mr. Wegstrom pointed out a spot in front of the resort office where he remembers the water level to have been in 1926. 50' lakeward of the office in the yard area, we recorded an elevation of 1325.8, which would be the approximate 1926 level; 5.2' higher than the water level on 5/19/99. Vertical control for this survey was from our 9/21/88 B.M. at the public access - 3/8 x 8" spike in the smaller of 2 cottonwood trees (2.0') NW of the access ramp; Elev. = 1323.54, NGVD-1929. /\ IJC7 ^i \I \“¥ ?>'A.\:.Aii i\/\\ ~l I 'f \\i\i \%i !!I. c cr\e<'(» Wfly^\\\ : M \S-C/\■: \\ \■. sss.

UNDERWOOD, MN 56586 April 24, 2001 South Turtle Lake Resident ■RE: . Formation of Lake Shore Association A group of South Turtle Lake people have a interest in forming a lakeshore association.If you live on the lake or own land on lake we would like to find out the level of your interest. We all have some comm.on concerns and we feel they can best be addressed if we speak with one voice. If you are- interested, we will be holding a informational meeting on May 5, 2001 in the basement of the Underwood American Legion. Starting at 11:00 AM. Please inform your neighbor or anyone interested in our lake. Bricker Johnsen Bernie Ganriber Mike Carlson Gary Sletten Lowell Hoekstra Robert Glomstad Barry Johnson SOUTH TURTLE LAKE, ASSOC. UNDERWOOD, MN 56586 June 4, 2001 South Turtle Lake Resident RE: Special Meeting - Update of Progress Dear Assoc. Member, ,We have successfully formed our lakeshore association, and we our up and running. Your board of directors has met many times and we need our members to attend the special meeting to be held at the Underwood Community center on Saturday, June 9, 2001 at 9:30AM. We need to form a Lake Improvement District. This entity would be able to obtain grants and tax for lowering of water level. There is a lot to explain and update our members. To get this done we need to go to the Otter Tail County Commissioners and seek approval. To bring this to them we need a Minimum of 26% of the landowners who are in Lake impr'^vement district to sign the resolution. We hope to have a much aigher percentage than that to show our support. Please inform your neighbor's as we haven't gotten everyone signed up.as members yet. Bricker Johnsen, President It is very important that you be at this meeting! 3T T132N-R.4IW./\S£E PAC£JSTORDENSKJOLD74 i see PACe 73___________ '(JiASr f \ff/ax/^dugrSciL a[ _3| /»!Z2 ■ -2I0\Hi LA,'south Pcaer- S?vsoo "*-Sv _____ *fl*l ■’■aaa “T^/ _ fe/ ^)4.i ‘ ft/ S |s^i IJ^|«35r kVCOO l^ ' ^: <r34.3>|f|*'> ,Ori/i//e M I /^aur/ce./^/"/"e/7CSLS ^ //7om^/as<iO /JrA*Jur 4/^/7/7/G f//y AS^ A!^A^£U3L A/oW-te.
