With the large amount of available space, land devel- <br />opment is proceeding. at 'a rapid pace. In addition to anticipated <br />residential home construction, commercial and industrial growth <br />is anticipated at . several intersections along Interstates 35E and <br />35W. A portion of the City remains outside the Metropolitan <br />Urban Service Area (MUSA) line. <br />Regulatory Agencies <br />Many of the waters and wetlands within Lino Lakes are designat- <br />ed as State Protected Wetlands and Waters. The Minnesota De- <br />partment of Natural Resources has regulatory authority in these <br />areas. Other wetlands are identified as Waters of the United <br />States. Alteration of these areas would fall under the jurisdiction <br />of the Army Corps of Engineers. <br />Local Water Management Plan' SEH NO: LINOL9402.00 <br />Policy Document Page 6 <br />
