Cyphers Logistic Park AUAR 28 March 2022 11. Water Resources AUAR Guidance: The information called for on the EAW form should be supplied for any of the infrastructure associated with the AUAR development scenarios, and for any development expected to physically impact any water resources. Where it is uncertain whether water resources will be impacted depending on the exact design of future development, the AUAR should cover the possible impacts through a “worst case scenario” or else prevent impacts through the provisions of the mitigation plan. a. Describe surface water and groundwater features on or near the site below. i. Surface Water - Lakes, streams, wetlands, intermittent channels, and county/judicial ditches. All surface water features should be described and identified on a map of the project area. Include any special designations such as public waters, trout stream/lake, wildlife lakes, migratory waterfowl feeding/resting lake, and outstanding resource value water. Include water quality impairments or special designations listed on the current MPCA 303d Impaired Waters List that are within one mile of the project. Include DNR Public Waters Inventory number(s), if any. Surface water features within the AUAR s tudy area include five freshwater emergent wetlands and three ponds . These features are identified on the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) and the surface area of these ponds totals 5.2 acres (see Figure 13). There are two waterbodies identified by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s (MPCA) Part 303d Impaired Waters List within one mile of the AUAR study area. Lake Jane, located north of the site, is impaired for mercury in fish tissue and fish bioassessments. Eagle Point Lake, located southeast of the site, is impaired for Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in fish tissue (see Figure 12). The site generally drains to the east and south. One unnamed DNR Public Water Basin is present in the southeast corner of the site (DNR ID 82040000). An unnamed DNR Public Watercourse is present south of the site. This unnamed watercourse is an upstream tributary of Raleigh Creek , which drains into Eagle Point Lake. ii. Groundwater – aquifers, springs, and seeps. Include 1) depth to groundwater; 2) if project is within a MDH well protection area; and 3) identification of any onsite and/or nearby wells, including unique numbers and well logs, if available. If there are no wells known on site or nearby, explain the methodology used to determine this. According to the DNR’s County Geologic Atlas Pro gram, the depth to groundwater within the AUAR study area is 0 to 50 feet below the surface. Based on the Minnesota Department of Health Minnesota Well Index, there is one well located within the AUAR study area and one well within 150 feet of the AUAR study area (see Table 5 and Figure 11). The City recently acquired the AUAR s tudy area parcels , and based on information obtained during the acquisition, the well has been properly sealed and closed. If unknown wells are encountered onsite, they will be sealed and abandoned following Minnesota Department of Health and MPCA protocols. The southernmost part of the AUAR s tudy area is located in the Oakdale drinking water supply management area (DWSMA), see Figure 14. The AUAR study area is not within any
