This is done by <br />identifying potential impacts caused by the proposed extensions, soliciting comments <br />ti'om other agencies, gathering input from the public, and if necessary identifying ways to' <br />mitigate the potential impacts. This in{'ormation is then available to the permitting <br />agencies when considering their permit conditions. <br /> <br />For this project, the City of Ramsey will be the project proposer and Will prepare a draft <br />EAW fbr submission to the PCA. After the draft is completed, the PCA will review the <br />document and submit it to the Environmental Quality Board for publication. For your <br />convenience, the following is a breakdown of Bolton & Menk's proposed scope of <br />services: <br /> <br />· Research existing information of floodplain limits, zoning requirements, and <br /> encroachments. <br /> Determine Historical/Archaeological needs per State Historic Preservation <br /> Office (SHPO) requirements. This scope covers a basic review of the <br /> historical and archaeological needs but does not include field photos and <br /> analysis. <br />· Identify vegetation and wildlife impacts with input fi'om the DNR Natural <br /> Heritage database and US Fish and Wildlife. This scope covers determining <br /> the potential of threatened and endangered species and potential mitigative <br /> measures, but it does'not include field smweys. <br />· Review aesthetic aspects of the project. <br /> <br />MANKATO, MN <br /> <br />FAIRMONT, MN * SLEEPY EYE, MN · BURNSVILLE, MN * <br /> www.bolton-menk.corn <br /> ~. i Ecff ,c:l C;'pporrL~;~it;, EzTipioyer <br /> <br />WILLMAR, MN <br /> <br />· CHASKA, MN · AMES, IA <br /> <br /> <br />
