We have received the City's March 17, 1998 responses to the issues we raised in <br />our 13AW comment letter. Based upon our discussions and the March 17 letter, we believe issues of <br />natural resource concern have been substantially addressed. We do not recommend preparation of an <br />Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the project. <br />City staff's prompt effort to meet with DNR, to explain project specifics, and ensure that our issues are <br />reflected in the project's environmental design and related decision - making is to be commended. For <br />future proposals requiring environmental review, we encourage consultation with DNR early in the <br />project planning cycle so that relevant natural resource issues can he addressed while flexibility is still <br />present. We believe such consultations can lessen a project's adverse environmental consequences <br />while simulataneously streamlining the permit and approval process, an outcome that is beneficial to <br />all. <br />Please contact Bill Johnson of my staff if you have additional questions: he can be reached at (612) <br />296 -9229. <br />Sincerely, <br />Thomas W.
