8. Cover types. Estimate the acreage of the site with each of the following cover types before and after development: Before After Before After Types 1-8 wetlands Lawn/landscaping 0.25 0.40 Wooded/forest Impervious Surfaces 3.05 2.90 Brush/grassland Other(describe) Cropland Total 3.3 3.3 9. Fish,wildlife,and ecologically sensitive resources. a. Identify fish and wildlife resources and habitats on or near the site and describe how they would be affected by the project. Describe any measures to be taken to minimize or avoid impacts. The existing facility currently discharges to the Mississippi River. The upgraded facility will continue to dischargeto the Mississippi River. Although the quantity of water discharged will increase, the quality will increase and no adverse affects are anticipated to impact the fish and wildlife presently inhabiting the area. b. Are any state(endangered or threatened)species, rare plant communities or other sensitive ecological resources such as native prairie habitat, colonial waterbird nesting colonies or regionally rare plant communities on or near the site? ❑ Yes ® No If yes,describe the resource and how it would be affected by the project. Indicate if a site survey of the resources has been conducted and describe the results. If the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources(DNR) Natural Heritage and Nongame Research program has been contacted give the correspondence reference number: Describe measures to minimize or avoid adverse impacts. 10. Physical impacts on water resources.Will the project involve the physical or hydrologic alteration (dredging, filling,stream diversion, outfall structure, diking, and impoundment)of any surface waters such as a lake, pond,wetland,stream or drainage ditch? ❑ Yes ® No If yes, identify water resource affected. Describe alternatives considered and proposed mitigation measures to minimize impacts. Give the DNR Protected Waters Inventory(PWI) number(s) if the water resources affected are on the PWI. 11. Water use.Will the project involve installation or abandonment of any water wells, connection to or changes in any public water supply or appropriation of any ground or surface water(including dewatering)? ❑ Yes ® No If yes, as applicable, give location and purpose of any new wells; public supply affected, changes to be made, and water quantities to be used;the source, duration, quantity and purpose of any appropriations; and unique well numbers and DNR appropriation permit numbers, if known. Identify any existing and new wells on the site map. If there are no wells known on site, explain methodology used to determine. 12. Water-related land use management districts. Does any part of the project involve a shoreland zoning district, a delineated 100-year flood plain, or a state or federally designated wild or scenic river land use district? ❑ Yes ® No If yes, identify the district and discuss project compatibility with district land use restrictions. 13. Water surface use.Will the project change the number or type of watercraft on any water body? ❑ Yes ® No If yes, indicate the current and projected watercraft usage and discuss any potential overcrowding or conflicts with other uses. 14. Erosion and sedimentation.Give the acreage to be graded or excavated and the cubic yards of soil to be moved: 1.0 Acres: 10,000 cubic yards. Describe any steep slopes or highly erodible soils and identify them on the site map. Describe any erosion and sedimentation control measures to be used during and after project construction. Best management practices to control erosion and sedimentation will be employed where necessary. www.pca.state.mn.us 651-296-6300 800-657-3864 TTY 651-282-5332 or 800-657-3864 • Available in alternative formats wq-wwtp2-20 • 8117112 Page 4 of 7
