<br />Resource Area Mitigation
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Mitigation will be regulated through the city’s
<br />development approval and permitting process. Proposed
<br />master development plans, planned unit development and
<br />subdivision applications, plats, and/or site plans must address
<br />relevant water conservation mitigation measures prior to final
<br />approval by the city. Implementation of mitigation measures will
<br />be assured through developer agreements with the city, which
<br />will require a financial security for land and infrastructure
<br />improvements and/or revoke the right to acquire building permits
<br />and/or certificates of occupancy until all relevant mitigation
<br />measures have been addressed.
<br />Wastewater
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Construct and phase appropriately the major
<br />infrastructure improvements needed to expand the capacity of
<br />the wastewater system (i.e. lift stations, forcemains, and
<br />upgrades to the existing systems) in accordance with the
<br />Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan and Capital Improvement
<br />Plan.
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Amend the Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer
<br />Plan and Capital Improvement Plan to be consistent with any
<br />amendments to the Comprehensive Plan that would necessitate
<br />expansions or alterations to the sanitary sewer system and
<br />regional capacity needs.
<br />Water
<br />Resources
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Each proposed development will be required
<br />to provide a detailed projection of wastewater generation and
<br />flows. These calculations will be checked by the City’s
<br />Engineering Consultant.
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: The City will create a year-end report to
<br />evaluate wastewater increases by major sewer lines and overall
<br />system usage in relation to capacity. Results of this assessment
<br />will become the targets for growth for the following year.
<br />Contamination
<br />/ Hazardous
<br />Waste
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Demolition-related waste material, such as wood, concrete, and
<br />glass, will be either recycled or disposed in the proper facilities in accordance with
<br />state regulations and guidelines.
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Development will generate construction-related waste materials
<br />such as wood, packaging, excess materials, and other wastes, which would be
<br />either recycled or disposed in the proper facilities in accordance with state
<br />regulations and guidelines.
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: For solid waste generated from the completed project, a source
<br />recycling/separation plan would be implemented, and wastes that cannot be
<br />recycled would be managed in accordance with state regulations and guidelines.
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Future developers will need to complete a Phase I/II
<br />Environmental Site Assessment prior to construction and coordinate with the
<br />MPCA on safe handling and disposal of any contamination and hazardous
<br />materials found on the site prior and during construction.
<br />Fish, Wildlife,
<br />Plant
<br />Communities,
<br />and Sensitive
<br />Ecological
<br />Resources
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: State requirements necessitate the control and spread of state
<br />listed noxious weeds and/or invasive weeds if encountered prior to construction.
<br />Methods to avoid spreading noxious weeds and/or invasive species will be
<br />incorporated into project specifications and/or SWPPP when developed.
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Disturbed areas would be reestablished using appropriate
<br />native pollinator-friendly and stabilization seed mixes.

<br />Resource Area Mitigation
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Invasive species will be controlled during site construction.
<br />Additionally, appropriate measures will be taken to control the spread of invasive
<br />species will be controlled during construction and landscaping:
<br />• Inspecting construction equipment and removing any visible plant, seeds,
<br />mud, dirt clods, and animals when arriving and leaving a site.
<br />• Using native seed mixes for revegetation whenever possible to encourage
<br />non-invasive plant communities in areas of bare soil post-construction.
<br />• Using mulch, soil, gravel, etc., that is free of invasive species whenever
<br />possible.
<br />• Inspecting soil and plant material during planting for signs of invasive
<br />species and removing or destroying the invasive species or the plant and
<br />associated soil if the invasive species cannot be separated out.
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Tree clearing activities will be restricted to winter months
<br />(November 1 - March 31). If winter tree clearing is not feasible, technical
<br />consultation with the USFWS may be required. Tree removal will also adhere to
<br />the City's tree preservation requirements.
<br />
<br />Any tree removal will have to follow tree preservation requirements, as outlined in
<br />City Code 1007.049, as amended. 39
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Reseeding herbaceous areas with native seed mixes will be
<br />utilized when possible to avoid impacts to the monarch butterfly and rusty patch
<br />bumble bee.
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Many state-listed plant species were identified by the DNR
<br />having the potential to be affected by the proposed development scenarios. To
<br />demonstrate avoidance, a qualified surveyor will need to determine if suitable
<br />habitat exists within the activity impact area and, if so, conduct a survey prior to
<br />any project activities. Survey results will determine next steps of species
<br />avoidance, minimization, and permitting process.
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: The DNR required specific mitigation measures to avoid
<br />impacts to the state-listed threatened Blanding’s turtle. These efforts included
<br />limiting erosion and wetland impacts, checking bare ground, trenches, holes, and
<br />depressions during construction activities, information orientations, sighting
<br />reporting, and following guidelines for interactions of in-danger turtles.
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Implement the Conservation Design Framework, which
<br />includes conservation of Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA’s), buffering these
<br />natural resources, and establishing greenway corridors throughout the AUAR area
<br />to provide connectivity for ecological and wildlife corridors, regional stormwater
<br />collection and conveyance, and passive recreational opportunities.
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Require public land dedication of priority natural open space
<br />areas through the subdivision process.
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Require that cash in lieu of public land dedication for
<br />subdivisions within the AUAR area be spent within the AUAR area to purchase,
<br />restore, and/or maintain priority natural open space areas.
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Establish mechanisms for ecological restoration, management,
<br />stewardship, and education.
<br />Scenario 1 and 2: Consult with the DNR and/or USFWS to determine appropriate
<br />mitigation strategies for activities near the Bald Eagle’s nests within the AUAR
<br />area before development occurs within the vicinity of the nests, including reviewing
<br />recommended disturbance limit guidelines developed by the DNR.
