SUMMARY OF COMMENTS ON EAW LINO LAKES MARKETPLACE PROJECT July 18, 2001 This document summarizes comments received by the indicated agencies. Responses to the comments follow each comment. The complete comment letters can be found attached to this summary. Minnesota Historical Society, State Historic Preservation Office • SHPO notes that the response to question 25a of the EAW fails to indicate that the archaeological survey of the parcel identified one site that was determined not to meet National Register criteria. City response: The EAW states that a previously recorded prehistoric archaeological site is located in the project area, and that the site was evaluated to determine whether it meets National Register criteria. The EAW did not specifically state that the site did not meet the criteria. The clarification from SHPO is noted and included in the record. Minnesota Pollution Control Agency • MPCA notes that the project will not exceed state ambient standards for CO and thus no significant air quality impacts are expected. • MPCA notes that the list of approvals and permits in item 8 of the EAW should include a Clean Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certification from the MPCA. City response: This addition is noted and added to the record. • MPCA notes that storm water management basins shall not be considered as wetland compensatory mitigation; that existing wetlands altered by excavation or construction to function as storm water basins should be counted as adversely impacted; and that, as stated in the EAW, an evaluation for avoidance of impacts must be conducted. If impact is unavoidable, compensatory mitigation must occur. City response: The Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) is the Local Governmental Unit under the Minnesota Wetlands Conservation Act. The project applicant has submitted a sequencing analysis and mitigation plan to the RCWD. The City of Lino Lakes relies on the RCWD for administration of the requirements of the Wetlands Conservation Act. The City will require that RCWD approval is obtained as a condition of City approval of the project. Responses to Comments On Lino Lakes Marketplace EAW page 3 of 11
