Hakanson <br />Anderson <br />Assoc., I nc. <br />February 8, 1988 <br />U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service <br />U.S. Federal Office Building <br />Ft. Snelling <br />Minneapolis, MN <br />Engineers, Surveyors & <br />Landscape Architects <br />Re: Gateway North Industrial Airport <br />Proposed Airport Improvements - Ramsey, Minnesota <br />To Whom It May Concern: <br />The City of Ramsey is contemplating the acquisition and improvement <br />of Gateway North Industrial Airport. An environmental assessment <br />report is currently being prepared for the proposed project and a <br />draft should be available later this month. <br />The proposed project requires the relocation of County State Aid <br />Highway 116 near a Type III wetland (Anoka County 118). Enclosed <br />is a copy of the Airport Layout Plan, an aerial photo and a <br />generalized wetlands map. The proposed right-of-way alignment is <br />shown on the enclosed plans. Actual roadway width would be 24 <br />feet. Final alignment of the roadway has not as yet been <br />determined, however, it appears that the roadbed itself would be <br />out of the wetland area. We would appreciate receiving any <br />comments that your office may have in this matter. <br />A second item of consideration is that storm water runoff from the <br />air field is planned to be drained predominantly to the east. <br />Discharge of some runoff to Wetland No. 117 is being considered as <br />well as the need for future detention basins. At ultimate <br />development, approximately 12% of the airport land area would have <br />impervious surfaces. Drainage concepts will be further refined as <br />the project moves into design development. We would appreciate <br />receiving your concerns in this regard as well. <br />222 Monroe Street A-10 <br />Anoka, Minnesota 55303 <br />612/427-5860 <br />
