City officials are concerned that a pond built to control runoff water could pose a structural threat to the nearly completed Lakeside 370 Business Park levee.
As a result, City Administrator Bill Charnisky is seeking authority to spend $252,000 to cope with the matter if no other solution is found soon.
The concern is whether sand was exposed during excavation for the pond, which is just outside the levee in the Mississippi River flood plain. If sand is exposed, water from a major flood could seep under the levee and weaken it, Charnisky said.
Trinity Products Inc. built the pond to hold rainwater runoff from its 45-acre plant site in St. Charles, just east of the Lakeside 370 levee.
Trinity's owner, Robert Griggs, said Friday that the pond had been built to proper specifications, adding that the project was under way months before levee construction began last year.
