The proposer should be aware that Council policy requires that all storm water be presettled prior to discharge to all W;e~ tlands. All sediment basins designed for the proposed project should be designed according ~ NURP standards or similar criteria. 3. Ramsey-_D.a~on Mississippi River Corridor The project description states: ~ne region's ultimate transportation goal is to relieve traffic from Highway I0 and 16~ by routing traffic across the Missis.sip/River by the proposed Ramsey-Dayton corridor. The propped alignment of Sunwood Drive is essential to the projected traffic patterns to make this plan wgrL~ It should be noted that at this time the Metropolitan Council h,,as not committed support to a specific fiver crossing between Ramsey and Dayton. The Council s 1989 Major River Crossing Study includes the following recommendation: While a number of studies have been completed concerning new fiver crossings in this area, no agr~eement has been reached on improvements or locations. While the total regional demand can generally be satisfied by providing increased capacity at TH 610 and at 1-694, the~. orientation of this demand may still require an additional river crossing. The affected cifi~ and counties in cooperation with Mn/DOT and the Metropolitan Council should enm,91ete the studi~ needed to determine the design and location of an additional river crossing, and they should preserve the right-of-way for future implementation. This will conclude the Council's review of the EAW. No formal action on the EAW wilt be taken by the Council. ff you have any questions, please contact Ann Braden, Council staff at 291-6525.
