November 8, 2011 Page 8 of 8 Response to Comment #4 - The City had completed a study in 2005 that did not identify any archeological or historic resources within the study area. However, this section of the AUAR has been revised to remove the statement that it is unlikely that intact archaeological resources would be present due to past agricultural uses. The Final AUAR has been revised to add language and mitigation that states additional archeological study will be completed for the area adjacent to the Mississippi River if required by a federal permit or federal agency. Furthermore, if during any earth moving or construction activities, any item or condition found that indicates the site is likely to yield information important to pre- history orhistory shall be reported to the City immediately. The city reserves the right to stop work authorized in its approval until the site is appropriately investigated and work is authorized. This language has been added to the Final AUAR. Comment #5: Please note that this comment letter does not address the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and 36CFR800, Procedures of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation for the protection of historic properties. If development projects in this area are considered for federal assistance, or require a federal permit or license, such projects should be submitted to our office with reference to the assisting federal agency. Response to Comment #5 - This has been added to Item 8 in the Final AUAR. This concludes the City's response to comments on the AUAR. The AUAR has been revised as needed. The fina110-day comment period for the Final AUAR ends on December 9, 2011. If you have questions, please feel free to call me at (763)287-7196.
