3. BRIEF EXPLANATION OF PROJECT Improvement proJ. #90-12 is proposing to
reconstruct streets adjacent to the proposed new supermarket store loceted
south of Priordale Mall. In this project, Vine Street will be aligned to
Tower Street & Duluth Avenue extended to meet the new alignment. Toronto Ave.
From Tower Street to 600' north will be reconstructed with a permanent street
section with the rest of Toronto Avenue to receive temporary improvements such
as bituminous overlay and bituminous curbing. r
4. JUSTIFICATION (Explain why this project is needed) Existing traFFic
circuletion to the Mall area needs improvement. The City is proposing to
construct a "ring road" From 170th Street to Franklin Treil along T.H. 13 to
better serve the commercial arees. The reeligning of Vine Street to Tower
Street is necessary For the "ring road concept" and to obtein Municipal Stete
Aid Funding. The existing Toronto Avenue needs to be upgraded to hendle the
increase in traFFic volume. d
5. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT (Including unavoidable but detrimental effects)
The reelignment of Vine Street to Tower Street will be located along the edge
of a lowland eree. This aree has 32 Feet of peat deposits in locetions and
will sattle when additional weight is placed For the roadbed. The City is
proposing to use shredded tires as e lightweight fill to minimiza the
settlement & time required. ReFer to etteched storm weter improvement plen &
letter from MPCA on the use of shredded tires. Erosion (PLEASE TURN OVER)
6. ALTERNATIVES (Other alternatives to action proposed) This ares is currently
being unplatted and bids are being taken For the Supermarket s~ore constructio~.
City hes hed a Public Hearing For this project on March 19, .1990. Other
alternatives could be to use reguler Fill versus lightweight Fill. The street
improvements need to be constructed as part of the Supermarket store developer's
agreement. No other elternatives are proposed unless the store is not built,
the City would not build the street improvements.
I hereby apply under District Rule A for a permit to complete the proposed
project in accordance with the exhibits and other information submitted with
this Application and agree to the conditions on the reverse side of this
Application.

RE: Use of Tire Derived Fuel (TDP) as a Lightweight Fill
Dear Mr. Loney:
The following is a response to your May 22, 1990 .l..t::'-:iuest for Cl}:l}:l.l..vval to use TOP
as a lightweight subgrade road construction material for the City of Prior Lake
project.
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has reviewed the City of Prior
Lake }:I.l..vpvsal and based on available infonnation will not negatively bnpact the
envi.l..vJB,cl1t if the following guidelines are followed:
1. TDP is used on! Y above water table;
2. Measures are taken to insure TDP is not exposed; and
3. Measures are taken to minimize water infiltration on driving
surface of road and the side slope.
The }:I.l..vJ:^lsal outlined for the City of Prior Lake project does J.IccL all of above
listed criteria and therefore the use of TDP for the City of Prior Lake project
is acceptable.
If you have any questions concerning this Q}:I}:I.l..vval please contact Andrew Ronchak
of my staff at 296-8411 or myself at 296-5897.

Dear Mr. Thompson:
RE: REQUESTING APPROVAL FOR USE OF SHREDDED TIRES ON PROJECT
#90-12, CITY OF PRIOR LAKE
The City of Prior Lake is proposing to use shredded tire chips as
a lightweight fill in the construction of the Vine Street/Tower
Street roadway in the City of Prior Lake. The total amount of
tire chips is estimated to be 2,600 tons and this letter is
requesting written approval of the use of tire chips by your
office.
The following information is enclosed for your review of our
waste tire use proposal:
1. Report of Subsurface Exploration Program and Addendum by
Twin City Testin<1' (Report includes specification of
type of tire der1ved product.)
2. Plan Sheets for Project #90-12
A. Title Sheet
B. Typical Sections
C. Street Improvement Plan Sheet
D. Storm Sewer Plan Sheet
E. Site Grading Plan
3. Letters from Attorneys regarding the use of tire chips.
A letter was received by the City on March 20, 1990 stating the
guidelines on the use of tire chips as a light weight material
for subgrade roadbed construction. The following statements will
address each guideline as it relates to our project:
MPCA Guideline #1
Waste tires, bales of waste tires, or TDP cannot be used in
saturated conditions. (Below the water table or in surface
waters. )
4629 Dakota St. S,E" Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 Ph, (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245
The lowland area the City is proposing to cross is
considered a dry ponding area since it has an outlet and does
not hold water permanently. On Project #90-12, a 15" pipe
outlet is proposed which would cause the lowland area to have
a 100 year flood of 949.50. However, the water would flow
out within 24 - 30 hours. The ground water level in this
area as shown in the soils report for Twin City Testing is at
elevation 940.00. The low point of the lowland area is at
943.80 which is the elevation the outlet pipe inlet invert is
proposed to be. The estimated total settlement of the
lightwieght fill method is 18 inches, thus the tires placed
at the lowest elevation of the lowland of 944.0 would still
be at elevation 942.50 which is above the current ground
water level of 940.0.
MPCA Guideline #2
Verification must be provided that the proposed use of the
tires is economically and technically beneficial to the
proposed project (as opposed to burial for disposal.)
Refer to the Soils Report by Twin City Testing. The lowland
area has peat deposits up to 32' in depth. A lightweight
fill method as well as a surcharge method is described in the
report. The amount of peat deposit is such that removal of
the organic material and replacement with engineered fill is
cost prohibitive. The lightweight fill method minimizes the
weight on the peat and the associated settlement and has a
lesser risk of a shear failure of the underlying peat
deposits.
MPCA Guideline #3
Measures must be taken to m1n1m1ze infiltration of water or
leaching in the area of the waste tires, waste tire bales, or
TDP use.
Refer to the lightweight fill typical section plan sheet. A
one foot clay soil cap and four inches of topsoil along with
a geotextile fabric to separate the clay cap will extend over
the top and sides of the entire embankment. Perforated sewer
pipes will be installed upstream, from the lightweight fill
area to intercept as much ground water as possible from
entering the tire chip section. Also, the 15" pond outlet
pipe is perforated to collect any infiltrated water in the
tire section and to remove this water as soon as possible,
and thus minimize the time any infiltrated water will have
in contact with the tires.
MPCA Guideline #4
Measures must be taken to insure the waste tires, waste tire
bales, or tire derived product is not exposed to the
environment at the surface of the construction project.
Refer to the lightweight fill typical section. An urban curb
and gutter with storm sewer roadway section is proposed for
this area with the street and sidewalk areas graded to flow
towards the storm sewer system. The side slope from the
roadway to the lowland area will be a 4:1 slope and silt
fences will be installed parallel to the roadway length along
the lowland area to minimize erosion of material to the
lowland. The height of the embankment area is 6.5' maximum
in the tire chip section, thus the drainage area of the' side
slope should not wash away the clay cap and expose the tire
chips.
Also enclosed are letters from the City's Attorney, Owen V.
Nelson and Orrin M. Haugen, Patent Attorney on the proposed use
of tire chips in our road improvement. These letters are being
furnished as requested by Andy Ronchak of your office.
Please review the enclosures and our request to use shredded
tires as a lightweight fill for our street improvement Project
No. 90-12. If you have any questions on our intended use of tire
chips, please feel free to contact me at City Hall.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Mr. Franklin:
RE: UNNAMED WETLAND, DULUTH AVENUE & TOWER STREET, CITY OF PRIOR
LAKE, SCOTT COUNTY
It was a pl easure meeting with you on Wednesday, July 18, 1990 to
give you an assessment of the undeveloped property located in the
southeast quadrant of Duluth Avenue and Tower Street in Prior Lake.
Based upon the field inspection of July 18, along with subsequent
review of maps on file at this office, I judge the area to be
comprised of a mixture of type II/III wetland, bordered by a fringe
of type IV wetl and and upl and hardwood forest. The innermost area
was representative of type II/III wetland; saturated soils with some
standing water, sedge, reed canary, and cattail the predominant
vegetation types. I've estimated the wetland area to be roughly 2~
to 3 acres in size.
As we discussed, the subject area is not a DNR-regulated wetland,
thus, not subject to regulation in accordance with Minnesota
Statutes, Chapter 105.42.
I appreciate you meeting with me, and commend you for your
commitment to the natural resources. Pl ease call me if you have
further questions.
Sincerely, ~~~
