re: CMSCWD Comments C16-012 Schilling Septic Variance
Dear Ms. Buss:
The variance in question facilitates the relocation of an existing septic system on Big
Marine Lake significantly farther from the lake but requires a variance for setbacks from
the roadway and small pocket wetlands on the property.
The Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix Watershed District supports this variance request since
the outcome will decrease the likelihood of any future negative impact to the water
quality of Big Marine Lake, one of the District’s high priority resources.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this variance request and do not hesitate to
call with any questions.
Sincerely,
Jim Shaver, Administrator
