The Project consists of a 217-acre residential development. Regarding <br />matters for which the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has regulatory responsibility and <br />other interests, the MPCA staff has the following comments for your consideration. <br />Permits and Approvals (Item 8) <br />This section indicates that a Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404 Permit from the U.S. Army Corps of <br />Engineers (USACE) for project related wetland impacts may be necessary. Please be aware that if a <br />USACE Section 404 Individual Permit is required for any project activity, then an MPCA CWA Section 401 <br />Water Quality Certification or waiver must also be obtained as part of the permitting process. The <br />Section 401 Water Quality Certification ensures that the activity will comply with the state water quality <br />standards. Any conditions required within the MPCA 401 Certificate are then incorporated into the <br />USACE 404 Permit. You can find additional information about the MPCA's 401 Certification process at <br />www.pca.state.mn.us/water/401.html. For further information about the 401 Water Quality <br />Certification process, please contact Jim Brist at 651-757-2245 or Bill Wilde at 651-757-2825. <br />We appreciate the opportunity to review this Project. Please provide your specific responses to our <br />comments and notice of decision on the need for an Environmental Impact Statement. Please be aware <br />that this letter does not constitute approval by the MPCA of any or all elements of the Project for the <br />purpose of pending or future permit action(s) by the MPCA. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the <br />Project proposer to secure any required permits and to comply with any requisite permit conditions. If <br />you have any questions concerning our review of this EAW, please contact me at 651-757-2508. <br />Sincerely, <br />"Vvornar <br />Karen Kromar <br />Planner Principal <br />Environmental Review Unit <br />Resource Management and Assistance Division <br />KK:bt <br />cc: Dan Card, MPCA, St. Paul <br />Bill Wilde, MPCA, St. Paul <br />Teresa McDill, MPCA, St. Paul <br />
