Response - All of the issues raised in this letter have been reviewed by the City of Elk <br />River's Technical Evaluation Panel, which includes a DNR Fisheries Biologist. <br />Adjustments to wetland mitigation plan for the project have been made in an attempt to <br />address these concerns. <br /> <br />Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) - letter from Claudia Dumont, <br />dated August 9, 2004. <br /> <br />Comment - MnDOT is ok with the access to US Trunk Highway 169 via 225th Avenue <br />proposed by the petitioner. <br /> <br />Response - The city appreciates MnDOT's review of this issue. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />Staff feels that the EAW accurately describes the project and the potential environmental <br />effects. Mitigation measures to reduce the environmental effects have been identified by <br />the EAW and will be incorporated into the plans for the project. Staff is recommending a <br />negative declaration on the need for an EIS for the J & B Mining request. A resolution to <br />this effect is attached. <br /> <br /> <br />
