Page 22 Table 12. DNR Public Waters Within One Mile of the Site Waterway Public Water ID Type Distance from Site M Mississippi River Public Water Watercourse N/A; adjacent to the site 86-6 W Unnamed Public Water Wetland 4,450 ft The National Hydrography Database identified the Mississippi River as a ‘Stream/River’ surface water feature along the western project area boundary. The portion of the Mississippi River from the County-State Highway 7 bridge in St. Cloud to the northwest boundaries of the Cities of Anoka and Champlin is designated as a component of the Minnesota Wild, Scenic, and Recreational River Systems (Minnesota Rules parts 6105.0910 and 6105.0950). No trout streams/lakes are present within or near the project area (19). The MnDNR has identified no wildlife lakes (shallow lakes designated as high-value wildlife habitats) within or near the project area (19). Similarly, the MnDNR has not identified any Migratory Waterfowl Feeding and Resting Areas within or near the project area (19). As shown on Figure 12, the lower cultivated field is within the 100-year and 500-year floodplain. According to the FEMA floodplain map 27141C0395F (effective date November 16th, 2011) (FIRM number 270436) (panel 0395F), the floodplain within the project area is a ‘regulatory floodway.’ The base flood elevation shown on FEMA’s floodplain map is 861 and 860 ft. MSL. Cross sections F and G from the Flood Insurance Study Report of the Mississippi River are detailed in Table 13 on the following page. In accordance with the City of Elk River code, any use that requires fill, excavation, storage of materials, or placement of anything that may cause a potential obstruction would require a permit. The lower cultivated field is planned to be deeded to the City for park dedication (Appendix A). It is anticipated that play structures/gazebos or other park infrastructure will be placed outside the floodplain. Exhibit 2. FIRM Map
