5. Project Location
14 & 23 1/4 Section 116N Township 23W Range
County: Carver City /Twp: Chanhassen
Attach copies of each of the following to the EAW:
a. a county map showing the general location of the project;
b. copy(ies) of USGS 7.5 minute, 1:24,000 scale map (photocopy is OK) indicating the
project boundaries;
c. a site plan showing all significant project and natural features.
6. Description. Give a complete description of the proposed project and ancillary facilities
(attach additional sheets as necessary). Emphasize construction and operation methods
and features that will cause physical manipulation of the environment or produce
wastes. Indicate the timing and duration of construction activities.
The project consists of the reconstruction and widening of approximately 7,500 linear
feet of County Road 17 between Trunk Highway 5 and Lyman Boulevard (CSAH 18)
and 400 feet of Lake Drive, east of County Road 17. County Road 17 is proposed to be a
four lane divided bituminous roadway with curb and gutter. Two fourteen -foot traffic
lanes will be provided in each direction with turn lanes at intersecting roadways. Lake
Drive is proposed to be a 36 -foot bituminous roadway with curb and gutter. The project
will include the installation of storm sewer, street lighting, landscaping and bituminous
pathway along County Road 17 and storm sewer, street lighting, and landscaping along
Lake Drive.
The proposed alignment will be constructed completely within the existing right -of -way
for this road. Existing County Road 17 is a four lane divided roadway from Trunk
Highway 5 to approximately 2,000 feet south. The remainder of the existing roadway to
Lyman Boulevard is two lane undivided. In areas where existing County Road 17 is
two lane, the existing roadbed is located on the west side of the right -of -way. A
majority of the widening proposed would, therefore, occur to the east side of the
existing roadway.
County Road 17 does not currently meet State Aid Standards, therefore this project
includes the necessary improvements to bring the roadway up to these standards.
Development of areas adjacent to County Road 17 has significantly increased the volume
of vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians utilizing the roadway. The proposed improvements
will include additional traffic lanes and a separate path for bicycles and pedestrians
which will result in safer environment for all users of the roadway.
Based on the findings of the EAW, the County anticipates completing the surcharging
operations, required for the project, by the end of 1994. Following the EAW/
surcharging phase, preliminary and final plans for the roadway and utility
improvements will be prepared. Construction of the roadway will occur during the 1995
construction season.

9. Land Use. Describe current and recent past land use and development on the site and
on adjacent lands. Discuss the compatibility of the project with adjacent and nearby
land uses; indicate whether any potential conflicts involve environmental matters.
Identify any potential environmental hazard due to past land uses, such as soil
contamination or abandoned storage tanks.
The land within and around the proposed project area is mostly residential subdivisions
with some areas of wetland, lakes, and other open spaces such as Lake Susan Park.
Light Industrial development is common to the north of the proposed project.
Downtown Chanhassen is within one mile north of the project area.
Nearly all of the land directly adjacent to the boundary of the proposed project south of
Lake Drive is developed residential or zoned for residential development, with the
exception of some wetland and utility easement areas. The area north of Lake Drive is
zoned as industrial office park (IOP). The area to the south of Lake Drive is zoned as a
Planned Unit Development District (PUD) - Residential.
There is currently an 18 -inch watermain that follows County Road 17 along the west
right -of -way lane. This 18 -inch watermain crosses the roadway at the intersection of
County Road 17 and Lake Drive, and runs approximately 1,500 feet east and south to
City Well No. 4 in Lake Susan Park.
There are two sanitary sewer mains that cross County Road 17 just north of Riley Creek.
The two sanitary mains are the City's Lake Susan Interceptor and the MWCC Sanitary
Interceptor. A third sanitary sewer main crosses at the Lake Susan Hills Drive
intersection.
There is a limited storm drainage system in the area consisting primarily of a series of
rural ditches and culverts. There are approximately four drainage structures in the
median of County Road 17 that remove the runoff from the roadway to the ditches.
There are private utilities along County Road 17 such as electric, natural gas, telephone, .
and cable television.

10. Cover Types. Estimate the acreage of the site with each of the following cover types
before and after development (before and after totals should be equal):
Other (describe)
Total 26.5 AC* 26.5 AC
* Total area estimated as follows: (7,500')(150') + (400')(75') = 1,155,000'
11. Fish, Wildlife, and Ecologically Sensitive Resources
a. Describe fish and wildlife resources on or near the site and discuss how they
would be affected by the project. Describe any measures to be taken to minimize
or avoid adverse impacts.
The project area is entirely within the existing road right -of -way and a majority of
the construction impacts will be to the east of the existing roadbed. The cover
type within this area is primarily grassy uplands, some of which are maintained
through regular mowing. The surrounding land use is primarily residential
subdivisions.
The quality of these grassy areas is relatively low, given their proximity to the
existing roadway and residential developments. The diversity of this particular
area is also quite low, with less than ten percent of the area being covered with
something other than landscaped or wild grass communities. The wildlife
expected to occur in this area would be typical urban wildlife including, but not
limited to, songbirds, ducks, squirrels, raccoons, fox, wood chucks, and deer.
The proposed construction will not significantly alter the existing habitat by
adding two additional lanes of traffic. Therefore, the potential impact of the
proposed project on urban wildlife will not be significant.
b. Are there any state - listed endangered, threatened, or special- concern species; rare
plant communities; colonial waterbird nesting colonies; native prairie or other
rare habitat; or other sensitive ecological resources on or near the site?
Yes X No

a. Describe fish and wildlife resources on or near the site and discuss how they
would be affected by the project. Describe any measures to be taken to minimize
or avoid adverse impacts.
The project area is entirely within the existing road right -of -way and a majority of
the construction impacts will be to the east of the existing roadbed. The cover
type within this area is primarily grassy uplands, some of which are maintained
through regular mowing. The surrounding land use is primarily residential

The proposed construction will not significantly alter the existing habitat by
adding two additional lanes of traffic. Therefore, the potential impact of the
proposed project on urban wildlife will not be significant.
b. Are there any state - listed endangered, threatened, or special- concern species; rare
plant communities; colonial waterbird nesting colonies; native prairie or other
rare habitat; or other sensitive ecological resources on or near the site?
Yes X No
#20737 5
If yes, describe the resource and how it would be affected by the project. Indicate
if a site survey of the resources was conducted. Describe measures to be taken to
minimize or avoid adverse impacts.
The DNR's Natural Heritage Program conducted a search of their database to
determine if any rare plant or animal species have been recorded within or
around the proposed project area. Their search found no known records of rare
species in or around this area. Given the nature of the project area, it is not likely
that it supports or provides habitat for any rare, threatened or endangered
species. Much of the surrounding area has been previously disturbed by roadside
mowing, prior agricultural practices, and road construction.
12. Physical Impacts on Water Resources. Will the project involve the physical or
hydrologic alteration (dredging, filling, stream diversion, outfall structure, diking,
impoundment) of any surface water (lake, pond, wetland, stream, drainage ditch)?
X Yes _ No
If yes, identify the water resource to be affected and describe: the alteration, including
the construction process; volumes of dredged or fill material; area affected; length of
stream diversion; water surface area affected; timing and extent of fluctuations in water
surface elevations; spoils disposal sites; and proposed mitigation measures to minimize
impacts.
This project will impact adjacent wetland areas and a segment of Riley Creek. The
proposed reconstruction project will result in approximately 1.55 acres of wetland being
filled. Three wetland areas will be impacted, as shown in Figures 7a -7c. Wetland A,
the largest wetland, will receive the greatest impact due to road slope fill,
approximately 1.0 acres. This impact has been minimized through increasing the side
slopes to the maximum steepness without comprising public safety. Approximately
0.15 acres of Wetland C will also be filled by road slope.
Wetland D is a man-made wetland that was created for the purpose of wetland
replacement (Figure 8). As indicated in the Corps Permit ( #89- 2081N -74), the size of
the required replacement was 4.5 acres. It has been determined that the actual area
created is closer to 4.9 acres. The grading plan for this wetland indicates that the
created wetland was to stay outside of the County Road 17 right -of -way. However, at
the time of construction, the area was graded up to the existing top of slope, instead of
the right -of -way limit which explains the 0.4 acre discrepancy.
Given this explanation, it is assumed that this portion of the City approved and created
wetland area would fall under exemption 10 of the Wetland Conservation Act because
they are within the right -of -way that was not intended to be converted to wetland, and
it would not change the total wetland replacement required by the Corps.
Therefore, the amount of wetland impact that needs to be replaced under the Wetland
Conservation Act is 2.3 acres (1.15 acres x 2).
#20737 6
Activities within this wetland and the other two wetlands within the project area are
currently being coordinated and reviewed by the City of Chanhassen, the Army Corps
of Engineers and the Minnesota DNR.
As required by the Wetland Conservation Act, 2.3 acres of wetland replacement will be
created as compensation for the filled wetland area. It is anticipated that this
replacement will be created adjacent to the north side of Wetland A (Figure 9). The
County is in the process of trying to acquire this property for the purpose of converting
it to wetland.
The County will monitor the replacement site for a period of five years as required by
the Wetland Conservation Act. Monitoring forms will be completed and submitted to
the City at the end of each growing season with descriptions of the site vegetation,
wetland types, and ground photos.
13. Water Use
a. Will the project involve the installation or abandonment of any wells?
Yes X No
For abandoned wells give the location and Unique well number. For new wells,
or other previously unpermitted wells, give the location and purpose of the well
and the Unique well number (if known).
b. Will the project require an appropriation of ground or surface water (including
dewatering)?
Yes X No
If yes, indicate the source, quantity, duration, purpose of the appropriation, and
DNR water appropriation permit number of any existing appropriation. Discuss
the impact of the appropriation on ground water levels.
C. Will the project require connection to a public water supply?
Yes X No
If yes, identify the supply, the DNR water appropriation permit number of the
supply, and the quantity to be used.
#20737 7
14. Water - related Land Use Management Districts. Does any part of the project site
involve a shoreland zoning district, a delineated 100 -year floodplain, or a state or
federally designated wild or scenic river land use district?
X Yes _ No
If yes, identify the district and discuss the compatibility of the project with the land use
restrictions of the district.
Riley Creek crosses under County Road 17, therefore, a portion of its floodplain falls
within the project construction limits (Figure 7c).
The proposed impacts to the floodplain area include some minor excavation for the
placement of a culvert extension at the creek crossing. Some minor fill will be placed
over the culvert as stabilization and as a base for the road surface in this area.
Activities within the Creek and floodplain will be coordinated with the DNR Division
of Waters and the Riley- Purgatory -Bluff Creek Watershed District, respectively.
Appropriate permits and approvals will be obtained prior to construction, as well as
the installation of the required erosion control measures.
15. Water Surface Use. Will the project change the number or type of watercraft on any
water body?
_ Yes X No
If yes, indicate the current and projected watercraft usage and discuss any potential
overcrowding or conflicts with other users or fish and wildlife resources.
16. Soils. Approximate depth (in feet) to:
Groundwater: minimum: 4 average: 14
Bedrock: minimum: 140 average: 160
Describe the soils on the site, giving SCS classifications, if known. (SCS interpretations
and soil boring logs need not be attached.)
Soil borings are being conducted as part of the design phase of the project. See
Question 26 for a more detailed description of soil types.
17. Erosion and Sedimentation. Give the acreage to be graded or excavated and the cubic
yards of soil to be moved: acres: a1212roxi�'mate_ly 30; cubic yards: approximately
220,000
Describe any steep slopes or highly °erodible soils and identify them on the site map.
Describe the erosion and sedimentation measures to be used during and after construc-
tion of the project.
#20737 8
Sedimentation is a concern that is related primarily to the construction process.
Appropriate erosion control and turf establishment practices can greatly reduce the
amount of construction related sedimentation into the receiving waters.
These measures will be specified in the contract documents and on the design plans, as
required. Erosion control measures typically consist of silt fences, sodding and seeding.
Ungrouted riprap with filter blankets will be placed at storm sewer outlets. All
disturbed areas will also be seeded with native vegetation. Based on preliminary
design, the maximum finished slope ratio on the project is proposed to be
2 (horizontal) : 1 (vertical) to 3 (horizontal) : 1 (vertical).
18. Water Quality - Surface Water Runoff
a. Compare the quantity and quality of site runoff before and after the project.
Describe methods to be used to manage and /or treat runoff.
The proposed project would generate an additional 1.5 acre -feet of storm water
runoff over the 1.46 miles of road improvements during a 10 year, 24 hour event.
The project would generate an additional 1.77 acre -feet of storm water runoff
during a 100 year, 24 hour event. This estimate employs methodology of the U.S.
Soil Conservation Service Technical Release No. 55. The quality of site runoff
should not be adversely affected by the proposed project.
Traffic related pollutants consists of Copper, Lead, Zinc and Phosphorus. A
study conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) titled,
Results of the Nationwide Urban Runoff Program dated December 1983, have
identified the above pollutants as the predominant constituents in highway
runoff. Other common pollutants are Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Chloride.
TSS and Chloride are introduced into the highway runoff primarily from winter
deicing practices and the amounts vary depending upon the application rates and
the number if ice /snowfall events in a given year. An effective means of
reducing the amount of pollutants discharged into the receiving stream /water
body is to provide sedimentation ponds at the outfall of the storm sewers.
b. Identify the route(s) and receiving water bodies for runoff from the site. Estimate
the impact of the runoff on the quality of the receiving waters. (If the runoff may
affect a lake, consult EAW Guidelines about whether a nutrient budget analysis is
needed.)
The County Road 17 project area lies within the Riley- Purgatory-Bluff Creek
Watershed District. The Watershed District requires all runoff collected by the
site storm sewer system to be routed through water quality treatment ponds
meeting the requirements of the Nationwide Urban Runoff Program prior to
discharging into natural water bodies. The project also lies within the City of
Chanhassen which must approve water treatment pond designs as well.
#20737 9
Storm water from the northern half of the project is proposed to be discharged
into a pond created as a part of the construction of Lake Drive in 1989. This
pond is located in the southeast corner of Lake Drive and County Road 17 and
currently receives runoff from Lake Drive and County Road 17. This pond
outlets directly to Riley Creek.
A proposed pond to be located east of County Road 17 and approximately 1,600
feet north of Lyman Boulevard would collect runoff from the southern half of the
project. This pond would be constructed in accordance _with the Riley- Purgatory-
Bluff Creek Watershed and the City of Chanhassen criteria, and outlet to an
existing wetland which in turn drains to Lake Susan. Runoff from the southern
half of County Road 17 currently outlets to wetlands through ditches on either
side of the roadway.
19. Water Quality - Wastewaters
a. Describe sources, quantities, and composition (except for normal domestic
sewage) of all sanitary and industrial wastewaters produced or treated at the site.
None
b. Describe any waste treatment methods to be used and give estimates of composi-
tion after treatment, or if the project involves on -site sewage systems, discuss the
suitability of the site conditions for such systems. Identify receiving waters
(including groundwater) and estimate the impact of the discharge on the quality
of the receiving waters. (If the discharge may affect a lake, consult EAW
Guidelines about whether a nutrient budget analysis is needed.)
None
C. If wastes will be discharged into a sewer system or pretreatment system, identify
the system and discuss the ability of the system to accept the volume and compo-
sition of the wastes. Identify any improvements which will be necessary.
None
20. Groundwater - Potential for Contamination
a. Approximate depth (in feet) to groundwater: 4 minimum; 14 average
b. Describe any of the following site hazards to groundwater and also identify them
on the site map: sinkholes; shallow limestone formations /karst conditions; soils
with high infiltration rates; abandoned or unused wells. Describe measures to
avoid or minimize environmental problems due to any of these hazards.
None
#20737 10
C. Identify any toxic or hazardous materials to be used or present on the project site
and identify measures to be used to prevent them from contaminating
groundwater.
None
21. Solid Wastes; Hazardous Wastes; Storage Tanks
a. Describe the types, amounts, and compositions of solid or hazardous wastes to be
generated, including animal manures, sludges and ashes. Identify the method and
location of disposal. For projects generating municipal solid waste indicate if
there will be a source separation plan; list type(s) and how the project will be
modified to allow recycling.
None
b. Indicate the number, location, size, and use of any above or below ground tanks
to be used for storage of petroleum products or other materials (except water).
None
22. Traffic. Parking spaces added Existing spaces (if project involves expansion)
Estimated total Average Daily Traffic (ADT) generated Estimated
maximum peak hour traffic generated (if known) and its timing: For each
affected road indicate the ADT and the directional distribution of traffic with and
without the project. Provide an estimate of the impact on traffic congestion on the
affected roads and describe any traffic improvements which will be necessary.
The Eastern Carver Coun y Comprehensive Planning Study designates CSAH 17 as a
Minor Arterial, Class II. CSAH 17 provides a north /south access to residential and
commercial areas in Chanhassen. The current (1992) average daily traffic (ADT) count
on CSAH 17 is 6,600 vehicles per day (vpd) from TH 5 to Lake Drive, and 4,400 vpd
from Lake Drive to CSAH 18. This value was obtained by the Minnesota Department
of Transportation (Mn /DOT) and reported in their traffic count data, 1992. The
projected ADT for the year 2010 are forecast to be (Source: Eastern Carver County
Transportation Plan , 1990):
• TH 5 to Lake Drive — 13,600 ADT
• Lake Drive to Lake Susan Hills Drive -- 7,900 ADT
• Lake Susan Hills Drive to CSAH 18 — 8,000 ADT
The existing CSAH 17 right -of -way is 150 feet. CSAH 17 is currently a four lane
divided roadway from TH 5 to approximately 2,000 feet south. The remainder of the
existing roadway, to Lyman Boulevard, is two lane undivided rural section. In areas
where the existing CSAH 17 is two -lane, the roadbed is located on the west side of the
right -of -way. There are no designated parking areas along the road. North of Lake
Drive, the posted speed limit is 40 miles per hour (mph). South of Lake Drive, the
posted speed limit is 50 mph.
#20737 11
The proposed action is to upgrade CSAH 17 from a two -lane rural section, to a four -
lane divided urban section. (See Figures 4 and 5.) Two 14 -foot traffic lanes will be
provided in each direction, with turn lanes at intersecting roadways. An eight -foot
bituminous pathway will be constructed along the entire length of the roadway. The
median will vary from eight to 20 feet. The minimum design speed for CSAH 17 will
be 45 mph.
23. Vehicle - related Air Emissions. Provide an estimate of the effect of the project's traffic
generation on air quality, including carbon monoxide levels. Discuss the effect of
traffic improvements or other mitigation measures on air quality impacts. (If the
project involves 500 or more parking spaces, consult EAW Guidelines about whether a
detailed air quality analysis is needed.)
The project will have no significant impacts on air quality. Year 1992 and 2010
forecasted average daily traffic (ADT) volumes on CSAH 17 between TH 5 and CSAH
18 have been divided into three roadway segments, they are:
1) TH 5 to Lake Drive -- 1992 = 6,600 ADT; 2010 = 13,600 ADT
2) Lake Drive to Lake Susan Hills Drive -- 1992 = 4,400 ADT; 2010 = 7,900 ADT
3) Lake Susan Hills Drive to CSAH 18 — 1992 = 4,500; 2010 = 8,000 ADT
The ADT volumes listed above are substantially less than volumes of traffic typically
associated with carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations approaching state air quality
standards. The project is expected to have no significant impact on regional emissions
of CO because of the relatively low volume of traffic and short (7,500 feet)
improvement length.
The Year 1992 existing ADT volumes shown above were prepared by the Minnesota
Department of Transportation. The Year 2010 forecasted ADT volumes shown above
are from the Eastern Carver Coun y Comprehensive Transportation Planning Study,
October 1990
24. Stationary Source Air Emissions. Will the project involve any stationary sources of air
emissions (such as boilers or exhaust stacks)?
_ Yes X No
If yes, describe the sources, quantities, and composition of the emissions; the proposed
air pollution control devices; the quantities and composition of the emissions after
treatment; and the effects on air quality.
#20737 12
25. Will the Project Generate Dust, Odors, or Noise During Construction and/or
Operation?
X Yes _ No
If yes, describe the sources, characteristics, duration, and quantities or intensity, and
any proposed measures to mitigate adverse impacts. Also identify the locations of
sensitive receptors in the vicinity and estimate the impacts on these receptors.
The following list shows the number of receptors that are adjacent to CSAH 17.
CSAH 17 has been divided into three roadway segments.
1) TH 5 to Lake Drive — No residential development, but 3 office /industrial
buildings are adjacent to CSAH 17 and are set back approximately 300 feet from
the centerline of the existing roadway.
2) Lake Drive to Lake Susan Hills Drive — 31 front row residential units with either
a front, rear, or side yard adjacent to CSAH 17. The nearest front row residence
is set back approximately 85 feet from the centerline of the existing roadway. The
farthest front row residence is set back approximately 325 feet from the centerline
of the existing roadway.
3) Lake Susan Hills Drive to CSAH 18 — 6 front row residential units with either a
front, rear, or side yard adjacent to CSAH 17. The nearest front row residence is
set back approximately 120 feet from the centerline of the existing roadway. The
farthest front row residence is set back approximately 275 feet from the centerline
of the existing roadway.
Noise will also be generated during construction of the project. Construction noise
impacts will be temporary and will be mitigated by limiting construction work to
daytime hours.
Noise will also be generated by vehicles travelling on the road. Year 1992 and Year
2010 future noise levels have been estimated at the nearest residence for each of the
three roadway segments listed above. The noise levels have been estimated assuming
ten percent of daily traffic in the peak hour, with one percent heavy trucks and two
percent medium trucks. Traffic noise levels along the road are projected to increase as
a result of the forecast increase in traffic volumes on the road. Year 1992 and Year 2010
noise level estimates for the three roadway segments are listed below.
1) TH 5 to Lake Drive — 1992 noise levels = L10 54 dBA, 2010 noise levels = L10
59 dBA.
2) Lake Drive to Lake Susan Hills Drive — 1992 noise levels = L10 63 dBA, 2010
noise levels = L10 64 dBA.
3) Lake Susan Hills Drive to CSAH 18 — 1992 noise levels = L10 61 dBA, 2010 noise
levels = L10 62 dBA.
The state daytime noise standard in residential areas is L10 65 dBA.

26. Are Any of the Following Resources on or in Proximity to the Site?
a. archaeological, historical, or architectural resources? X Yes _ No
b. prime or unique farmlands? X Yes _ No
C. designated parks, recreation areas, or trails? X Yes No
d. scenic views and vistas? _ Yes X No
e. other unique resources? Yes X No
If any items are answered Yes, describe the resource and identify any impacts on the
resource due to the project. Describe any measures to be taken to minimize or avoid
adverse impacts.
a. Known Pre - European Contact Archaeological Sites
A preliminary records search of State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) files
identified five known archaeological sites in the immediate area of the proposed
Carver County Road 17 Upgrade Project construction corridor (Harrison 1989;
Lothson 1987; State Archaeological Site Files):
• CR- CHC -A06:
• CR- CHC -A15:
• CR- CHC -A16:
• CR- CHC -A10:
• CR- CHC -A11:
• CR- CHC -A17:
Burial mound (21CR42)
Lithic scatter
Small camp site

Burial mound
These sites do not appear to he within the right -of -way acquired for the County
Road 17 project, but contribute to the characterization of the archaeological
context of the area. The topographic locations of these sites also suggest that
similar archaeological deposits may be found intact within the proposed County
Road 17 construction corridor.
Post - European Contact Archaeological Sites
The preliminary records search of State Historic Preservation Office files identified
no known post - European contact archaeological sites within the proposed
construction corridor.
Historic Structures
Records at the State Historic Preservation Office no known historical structures
within the proposed County Road 17 construction corridor currently listed on the
National Register of Historic Places inventory (NRHP).
#20737 14
Previous Cultural Resources Investigations
A search of records at the State Historic Preservation Office documented three
previous archaeological surveys that had been conducted in the immediate
vicinity of the proposed County Road 17 construction corridor (Harrison 1989;
Lothson 1987; Minnesota Statewide Archaeological Survey, 1981. Several other
surveys have been conducted within five miles of the project area.
Information obtained during these surveys indicate that_ intact archaeological sites
are most likely to be found on high ground near a water source. More
specifically, the Minnesota Statewide Archaeological Survey (1981: 16 -19) in
Carver County located a number of precontact archaeological sites along wetlands
(State Archaeological Site Files). This differs from similar areas in Hennepin
County which are usually devoid of these sites. This predictive model for the
location of cultural resources in Carver County allows archaeologists to identify
areas of cultural resource sensitivity within the project area.
Cultural Resources Sensitivity on the County Road 17 Corridor
Most of the proposed right -of -way acquired for the proposed County Road 17
construction appears to have been extensively disturbed by previous road
construction and residential development. However, one area within the
proposed construction corridor has been identified by field reconnaissance as
having the potential for intact archaeological sites.
• Several remnants of intact terrace on the east side of County Road 17,
adjacent to wetlands southwest of Lake Susan (between Minnesota State
Plane Coordinate System N/672,000 and N/673,500)
b. There are three soil types within the project area that are listed by Carver County
SCS as Prime farmland soils. Areas containing these soil types are shown in
Figure 10 (Soil Survey map). Prime farmland soil types include Hamel loam,
Terril loam and Kilkenney Lester loam.
None of the project study area is currently under cultivation or used for
agricultural purposes. The entire study area has been previously converted to
road right -of -way. Therefore, the impacts to prime farmland are insignificant
because they lie within an existing transportation right -of -way.
The remaining soil types consist mostly of erodible and highly erodible soils with
steep slopes (6 to 25% slope).
C. Lake Susan Park is located to the east of CSAH 17. No taking of parkland would
be required for this project. Prairie Knoll Park is planned to be located east of
County Road 17 (Source: City of Chanhassen Zoning Map, 1994). This area of
the corridor is currently being developed.

27. Will the Project Create Adverse Visual Impacts? (Examples include: glare from
intense lights; lights visible in wilderness areas; and large visible plumes from cooling
towers or exhaust stacks.)
Yes X No
If yes, explain.
28. Compatibility with Plans. Is the project subject to an adopted local comprehensive
land use plan or any other applicable land use, water, or resource management plan of
an local, regional, state, or federal agency?
X Yes _ No
If yes, identify the applicable plan(s), discuss the compatibility of the project with the
provisions of the plan(s), and explain how any conflicts between the project and the
plan(s) will be resolved. If no, explain.
The proposed CSAH 17 Reconstruction project is consistent with the Cijy of
Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan, 1991, and the Eastern Carver County Comprehensive
Planning Study completed in October, 1990 Both documents recommend upgrading
CSAH 17 from a two to a four lane facility. The inclusion of a bituminous pathway is
consistent with the City's recommended trailway plan.
29. Impact on Infrastructure and Public Services. Will new or expanded utilities, roads,
other infrastructure, or public services be required to serve the project?
X Yes _ No
If yes, describe the new or additional infrastructure/ services needed. (Any
infrastructure that is a "connected action" with respect to the project must be assessed
in this EAW; see EAW Guidelines for details.)
The project will include the installation of storm sewer, street lighting, landscaping and
bituminous pathway along CSAH 17 and storm sewer, street lighting and landscaping
along Lake Drive.
30. Related Developments; Cumulative Impacts
a. Are future stages of this development planned or likely? _ Yes X No
If yes, briefly describe future stages, their timing, and plans for environmental
review.
#20737 16
b. Is this project a subsequent stage of an earlier project? _ Yes X No
If yes, briefly describe the past development, its timing, and any past
environmental review.
C. Is other development anticipated on adjacent lands or outlots _ Yes X No
If yes, briefly describe the development and its relationship to the present project.
d. If a, b, or c were marked Yes, discuss any cumulative environmental impacts
resulting from this project and the other development.
31. Other Potential Environmental Impacts. If the project may cause any adverse environ-
mental impacts which were not addressed by Items 1 to 28, identify and discuss them
here, along with any proposed mitigation.
32. SUMMARY OF ISSUES. (This section need not be completed if the EAW is being
done for EIS scoping; instead, address relevant issues in the draft Scoping Decision
document which must accompany the EAW.) List any impacts and issues identified
above that may require further investigation before the project is commenced. Discuss
any alternatives or mitigative measures that have been or may be considered for these
impacts and issues, including those that have been or may be ordered as permit condi-
tions.
The principle issues of concern covered in this EAW are related to placement of fill into
area wetlands, increased noise, erosion potential and archaeological resources. The
project is being coordinated with the Minnesota DNR for the extension of the Riley
Creek Culvert under CSAH 17, and the Army Corps of Engineers for the impacts to the
existing mitigation pond located in the northern section of the study area. Question 8
identifies the required wetland permits for this project. As part of the permit
application review process, compensatory mitigation will be designed to replace the
wetland areas and functional values.
Noise levels will increase as a result of increasing traffic volumes, and proximity of
residences to the roadway. State daytime noise standards will, however, not be
exceeded.
An erosion control and grading plan will be developed and reviewed with the county,
city and watershed district prior to construction.
Because of the potential for archaeological sites within the corridor, the need for a
Phase I archaeological survey along 1,500 feet of the CSAH 17 corridor will be
discussed with the Minnesota Historical Society. This survey will determine the
presence or absence of pre- and post- European contact archaeological sites within the
right -of -way and make recommendations in compliance with Section 106 laws
regarding future evaluation and preservation.

Re: C 17 reconstruction f ro m TH 5 tJ Lyman Blvd., TI 16N R23W sections 1 14 and 23, Carver County.
Dear Ms. Kunkel:
The Minnesota Natural Heritage database has been reviewed to determine if any rare plant or animal
species or other significant natural features are known to occur within one mile of the above referenced
project. Based on this review, there are no known occurrences of rare species or natural features in the
area searched.
The Natural Heritage database is maintained by the Natural Heritage Program and the Nongame
Wildlife Program, units within the Section of Wildlife, Department of Natural Resources. It is the most
complete source of data on Minnesota's rare, endangered, or otherwise significant plant and animal species,
plant communities, and other natural features, and is used in fostering better understanding and protection
of these -rare features. The information in the database is drawn from many parts of Minnesota, and is
constantly being updated, but it is not based on a comprehensive survey of the state. Therefore, there are
currently many significant natural features present in the state which are not represented by the database.
We are in the process of addressing this via the Minnesota County Biological Survey, a county -by-
county inventory of rare natural features, which is now underway. However, Carver County has not yet
been surveyed. Because there has not been an on -site survey of the biological resources of the project
area, it is possible that ecologically significant features exist for which we have no record.
Thank you for consulting us on this matter, and for your interest in minimizing impacts on Minnesota's
rare resources. Please be aware that review by the Natural Heritage and Nongame Research Program
focuses only on rare natural features. It does not constitute review or approval by the Department of
Natural Resources as a whoie.
An invoice for the work completed will be forthcoming. You are being billed for map and computer
search and staff scientist review. Billings are done quarterly by the State Department of Administration in
March, June, September, and December.
Sincerely,
Jan Shaw Wolff
