Environmental Constraints <br />As part of any corridor study, it is important to identify a purpose and a need for improvements, <br />as well as to identify physical, environmental and cultural constraints that could be impacted by <br />potential improvements. The analysis performed as part of this study is not to the level of a <br />Project Memorandum, or an Environmental Assessment, but is intended to identify potential <br />issues that would need to be addressed if environmental studies were pursued. <br />The environmental data collected for the County Road 116 corridor study was used to identify <br />any potential location determining issues and other important environmental issues within the <br />study area. Improvement alternatives should be developed to avoid these impacts wherever <br />possible. Where impacts are unavoidable, minimization and mitigation measures should be <br />identified and evaluated during project development. <br />Agencies with potential concerns within the project area were contacted as part of early <br />coordination efforts. The contacted agencies and the issues addressed by each are listed in Table 9. <br />A sample early coordination letter is located in Appendix A, as well as responses received. <br />Table 9 <br />Agencies Receiving Letters Soliciting Views and Comments <br />Agency Issues Addressed <br />Ms. Sarah Hoffman <br />Endangered Species Environmental Review Coordinator <br />Minnesota Department of Natural Resources <br />500 Lafayette Road <br />St. Paul, Minnesota 55155 <br />Mr. Thomas Cinadr <br />Minnesota Historical Society <br />345 John Kellogg Boulevard West <br />St. Paul, Minnesota 55102 <br />Mr. Craig Gray, P.E. <br />City of Anoka <br />2015 First Avenue <br />Anoka, Minnesota 55303 <br />Mr. Steven Jankowsk, P.E. <br />City of Ramsey <br />15153 Nowthen Boulevard NW <br />Ramsey, Minnesota 55303 <br />Ms. Kate Garwood, AICP <br />Anoka County <br />1440 Bunker Lake Boulevard <br />Andover, Minnesota 55304 <br />Natural Heritage Information <br />Cultural Resources <br />Will coordinate with appropriate <br />agencies on identified environmental <br />issues. <br />Will coordinate with appropriate <br />agencies on identified environmental <br />issues. <br />Will coordinate with appropriate <br />agencies on identified environmental <br />issues. <br />SRF Consulting Group, Inc. - 24 - February 2004 <br />
