Mr. Maurice Anderson <br />Page 2 <br />Thus, if the City of New Brighton allows lake property owners to <br />og~~?at~ boats on Long I,~tke, then non-property owners should <br />enjoy those same rights. Currently, an unimproved boat ramp in <br />the ;public swimming beach on the south basin provides access for <br />boaters during the non-swimming season. Although the present <br />situation falls short of EPA requirements, the plans by Ramsey <br />County 'Parks to build a boat ramp on the south basin will <br />fulfill the requirements of ~0 CFR Part 35.1605-3. <br />I encourage you to pursue your plans to provide limited boat <br />access during the 1985 swimming season and to pursue Minnesota <br />Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) funding for a fishing <br />pier on Long Lake. If there is anything that I can do to <br />support your efforts, please let me know. <br />I called Don Roberts, Clean Lakes Coordinator, EFA, Region V, <br />on February 4, 1985, and reviewed the Long Lake project access <br />situation. Public access on Long Lake should not become an <br />issue with EPA as long as your plans and those of Ramsey County <br />Parks are carried out. The Lvng Lake property owners should be <br />aware that EFA and the MPCA would consider the failure to <br />provide a boat ,ramp on Long Lake as a serious downgrading of the <br />lake's park access. Under the terms of the grant agreement <br />between EFA and the Rice Creek Watershed District and the <br />Substrate Agreement between the MPCA and the Rice Creek Watershed <br />District, a downgrading of the public access on Long Lake would <br />constitute failure to comply with the terms and conditions of <br />the, ,,grant agreement and;rcould result in suspension (40 CFR Part <br />3b:915), termination (~~b CFR Fart 30.920) or annulment (40 CFR <br />Part 3q.920-5) of the grant. <br />zf you,have any questions, feel free to contact me at <br />(612) ?.96-7223. <br />Sincerely, <br />~.,~ . <br />Patrick J.
