November 8, 2011 Page 2 of 2 side of TH10, it makes sense to connect it to the existing utility along the west side of the road. Additionally, if utilities were constructed on the east side, the existing residences and businesses on the west side of TH 10 would not have an opportunity to be served by these utilities in the future. Comments from the DNR: Comment # 1: The AUAR states that "A loggerhead shrike survey maybe required by the DNR as part of a development project if tree or shrub disturbance would be planned during the nesting season." The language should be adjusted to read that, "A loggerhead shrike survey maybe required by the DNR as part of the development project if *r°° ^r °t,,.,,1, disturbance would be planned during the nesting season." As it is currently worded, it maybe interpreted that construction work that does not include tree removal would not require a survey. Response to Comment #1: The AUAR has been revised to reflect this change. Future development of the site during nesting season (April through July) may require that a loggerhead shrike survey be performed as part of the development project. Comments from MPCA: Comment #1: Permits and Approvals (Item 8): Please be aware that if a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) Section 404 Individual Permit is required for any project related wetland impacts, an MPCA Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 401 Water Quality Certification or waiver must also be obtained as part of the permitting process. The Section 401 Water Quality Certification ensures that the activity will comply with the state water quality standards. Any conditions required within the MPCA 401 Certificate are then incorporated into the Corps 404 Permit. You can find additional information about the MPCA's 401 Certification process at www.pca.state.mn.us/water/401.htm1. For further information about the 401 Water Quality Certification process, please contact Kevin Molloy at 651-757-2577 or Judy Mader at 651-757- 2544. Response to Comment #1: The table in Section 8 has been updated to add the MPCA Section 401 Water Quality Certification permit. It will be the responsibility of the project proposer to secure any required permits and comply with any requisite permit conditions. Comment #2: Water Quality -Surface Water Runoff (Item 17): We recommend you utilize MPCA Special Waters and Impaired Waters Search mapping tool to identify special or impaired waters located near proposed projects. The mapping tool is located on the MPCA website at http•///nca-gis02~ca state mn us/websitestormwater/csw/viewer.htm. As noted on the website, the segment on the Mississippi River near the site is designated as a scenic river segment. This designation will dictate additional increased stormwater treatment both during construction and require additional increased permanent treatment post construction. These requirements will be included in any National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System/State Disposal System Construction stormwater Permit. The project proposer should determine that compliance with these increased stormwater water quality treatments can be Minneapolis ^ St. Cloud Equal Opportunity Employer N.'
