Response - Staff concurs with the DNR's comments and has drafted appropriate language <br />in the conditional use permit for this request that safe guards Blanding's Turtle and that <br />ensures appropriate reclamation. <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. <br /> <br />Staff and the Elk River Planning Commission are both recommending a negative <br />declaration on the need for an EIS on the Schmidt Gravel Mine request. A resolution to <br /> <br />this effect, which includes findings of fact for this decision, is attached. <br /> <br /> <br />
