ii. Groundwater — aquifers, springs, and seeps. Include 1) depth to groundwater; <br />2) if project is within a MDH wellhead protection area; and 3) identification of <br />any onsite and/or nearby wells, including unique numbers and well logs, if <br />available. If there are no wells known on site or nearby, explain the <br />methodology used to determine this. <br />According to the Minnesota DNR's Minnesota Hydrogeology Atlas, the depth to water <br />table in the study area is mapped with an elevation of 0-10 feet and the water table <br />elevation is mapped from 860 to 920 feet above sea level. <br />According to the Minnesota Department of Health's (MDH's) Minnesota Well Index, <br />there are 76 wells within 500 feet of the study area. Well depth was recorded from 59 <br />to 278 feet below the surface, see Figure 15. <br />According to MDH's Source Water Protection Web Map Viewer, the study area is not <br />located within a wellhead protection area or drinking water supply management area. <br />There are also no aquifers, springs, or seeps within the study area. <br />Scenario 1 and 2 <br />With future stormwater BMPs, no adverse impacts to groundwater are anticipated as <br />a result of future development projects. <br />Onsite wells will continue to serve the existing parcels for the foreseeable future. As <br />development occurs, wells located within the AUAR study area would be properly <br />sealed by a licensed well contractor prior to redevelopment within the AUAR study <br />area per Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) well sealing requirements. <br />If unidentified wells are found, the Department of Health Well division will be notified <br />and determine if the well is in service or not. Wells will be sealed per the MDH well <br />sealing requirements by a licensed well driller. <br />Lino Lakes Main Street - AUAR 39 July 2025 <br />Page 47 of 617 <br />
