Hennepin County will employ the following procedures consistent with MRCCA guidance: • Work with the DNR, local municipalities and other relevant entities when planning and implementing programs and projects within the MRCCA to protect and/or minimize impacts to primary conservation areas on facilities owned by the county. • Coordinate with cities and townships to ensure the county is aware of public river corridor views identified on county owned and operated facilities. • Consider provision for scenic overlooks, safe pedestrian crossings, and public riverfront access when planning and designing construction and reconstruction of county transportation facilities. • Where feasible, minimize the impacts to primary conservation areas and public river corridor views from county transportation projects. • Plan and implement county programs and projects in the MRCCA in a manner consistent with the purposes of the Critical Area Act (see Minnesota Rules, chapter 6106). • Conduct annual bridge maintenance activities, including bridge flushing maintenance. • Follow a five-year cycle for bridge surface sealing maintenance where bridge surfaces will be sealed with Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) and protect all bridge deck drains to contain the MMA. • Contain any bridge maintenance work involving concrete repairs in a preplanned containment system. • Remove and haul away snow from bridges. • Sweep county roads twice a year. • Reduce salt use for snow and ice removal. • Use a spraying system with biodegradable potassium acetate for deicing on Lowry Bridge. • Include the identification of projects that lie within the MCRRA in the county's capital improvement program (CIP). 5
