Because the Mississippi River is classified as a special water, soils will need to be stabilized <br />within seven days of temporarily or permanently ceasing soil disturbing activity on any portion <br />of the Project site. In addition, an undisturbed 100-foot buffer zone must be maintained <br />between the river and the Project unless an encroachment is necessary to complete the Project <br />and the area will be restored. <br />4. The wetlands located at the site cannot be utilized for stormwater management or treatment <br />unless they have gone through the mitigation process. <br />5. The CSW Permit requires that one inch of stormwater runoff from new impervious surfaces is <br />retained on the Project site via infiltration or other volume reduction method and not <br />discharged to a surface water unless prohibited due to a high seasonal water table or bedrock. <br />6. Assuming 50 or more acres will be disturbed as a result of the Project, the Stormwater Pollution <br />Prevention Plan must be submitted to the MPCA for review at least 30 days prior to applying for <br />permit coverage even if only a smaller portion of the Project site will be constructed at one <br />time. <br />• Please include Diamond Lake under Water Resources, part (a.,i.) (pg. 11). Diamond Lake (27-0125) is <br />on the MPCA 303d Impaired Waters List and is impaired by nutrients. This lake appears to be within <br />one mile of the Project site. <br />We appreciate the opportunity to review this Project. Please provide your specific responses to our <br />comments and notice of decision on the need for an Environmental Impact Statement. Please be aware <br />that this letter does not constitute approval by the MPCA of any or all elements of the Project for the <br />purpose of pending or future permit action(s) by the MPCA. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the <br />Project proposer to secure any required permits and to comply with any requisite permit conditions.
