The RGU as <br /> designated in Minnesota Rules 4410 is responsible for preparing the EAW based on data submitted by the <br /> project proposer. The EAW process includes a comment period and the option for an RGU to host a public <br /> meeting to gather additional comments. Once the EAW process is completed, the RGU must make a decision <br /> on the need for an EIS. Minnesota Rules 4410.1700, Subpart 1 specifies that a positive EIS decision shall be <br /> made for projects that"have the potential for significant environmental effects". If a project does not have the <br /> potential for significant environmental effects,then the RGU shall issue a negative EIS decision, and the <br /> project can move forward. 00, <br /> RGU reviews project Resubmittal RGU deems data <br /> RGU orders a Project proposer proposer's data submittal incomplete <br /> discretionary EAW submits completed submittal and makes Incomplete and returns submittal <br /> or a mandatory data portions of determination of to project proposer <br /> EAW is required EAW to the RGU completeness within Submittal for completion of <br /> (4410.1000) (4410.1400) 30 days Cod missing data <br /> (4410.1400) oc5 (4410.1400) <br /> dj <br /> Reviewers have 30 RGU distributes the <br /> RGU must make EIS days to submit draft EAW for RGU adds RGU deems <br /> need decision within 15 written comments comments and supplemental data submittal <br /> days of end of comment to the RGU.The <br /> publishes notice in the information to complete and <br /> period,or up to 30 days RGU may host a EQB Monitor.RGU EAW,if necessary, notifies project <br /> if decision is to be made public meeting to publishes notice in and approves EAW proposer <br /> by a board or council gather comments local newspaper within for distribution within 5 days <br /> T(4410.1700 Subp.2) (4410.1600) 5 days of distribution within 30 days (4410.1400) <br /> (4410.1500) (4410.1400) <br /> SuCIO t 01.n1atror� <br /> RGU makes EIS need RGU distributes <br /> decision and prepares notice of decision <br /> record of decision, within 5 days of <br /> including findings of decision.Notice is <br /> O fact and responses to all <br /> published in EQB <br /> substantive comments Monitor <br /> RGU postpones EIS raa <br /> ositive EIS (4410.1700 Subp.3&4) (4410.1700 Subp. 5) <br /> need decision for up to d includes <br /> 30 days to obtain her missing <br /> missing information. peof EIS <br /> RGU provides written ubp.2a A) <br /> notice to affected parties <br /> (4410.1700 Subp.2a B) <br /> Updated December 2015 Page 2 <br />
