BOX 147 • CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937 -1900 • FAX (612) 937 -5739 1 May 10, 1993 1 I Mr. Conrad Fiskness, Manager Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District c/o Barr Engineering I Suite 300 8300 Norman Center Drive Minneapolis, MN 55437 -1026' 1 Dear Conrad, - t. I As you are aware, Chanhassen is nearing completion of our comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan. We have already generated several significant products which are currently in use. These include our wetlands protection program which is regarded as one of the most I progressive in the State, and our Best Management Practices Handbook, both of which have been forwarded to the District Engineer. Plan elements dealing with managing water quality and volume issues are to be completed by the end of June and are also spinning off useful 1 information. For example, we have already incorporated water quality protection measures into new developments and public projects and are currently undertaking a series of water quality improvement construction programs. Thus, while we have always attempted to deal with surface I water issues in a responsible manner, we will shortly be in a position to comprehensively manage all our water resources. It is with this in mind that I am writing you regarding several issues of I concern on the working relationship between the City and Watershed District. It is my hope that we can begin a dialogue to not only deal with these issues but also to reassess and revise this relationship. `�-- �` .. ,. 1 PERMITTING PROCESS ' Several years ago, the City instituted a gradin permit program. Under it, anytime 50 cubic yards /- I of material is moved a permit must be obtained. Earthwork involving more than 1000 yards of material requires City Council approval. As noted above, we have a sophisticated wetlands I protection program and an excellent data base on the city's 200' scale aerial maps and are able to identify and avoid impacts. We are listed as a local governmental unit by BOWSR and have been extremely active in State wetland issues. We have also adopted by ordinance a Best 1 t 0 PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER 1 Mr. Conrad Fiskness 1 May 10, 1993 Page 2 Management Practices Manual and have developed a very sophisticated storm drainage plan. We I have inspectors that regularly check on the grading and receive /respond to complaints and issues raised about the permits. 1 My concern is that the Watershed's permit program has become redundant. It results in additional cost and time delay and, since there is rarely any inspection by your staff, is not likely I to result in any net improvement in environmental protection. Sufficient coordination on a system wide basis will be provided by our Comprehensive Plan. I further note that we are in the process of hiring a full time Water resources coordinator to help manage our program. I believe I it would be useful to arrange to have the Watershed District defer administration to the City in a manner similar to which other districts and communities are doing. I would anticipate your maintaining some sort of oversight and coordination function. 1 DISTRICT'S LAKE WATER QUALITY REPORT 1 Frankly, we were surprised and somewhat dismayed with both the information contained in the report and the manner in which it was released. Although we have gone to great lengths to keep your staff notified as to progress on Chanhassen's plans, we received no notice nor had any input into your lake quality report. In fact, the first we heard about it was when we read the article that was run in the Chanhassen Villager based upon your press release. I only received a copy I of it after requesting one directly from your staff. We have gone to great lengths to develop an understanding of our water quality issues and to I educate our residents on what we and they need to change to improve the situation. I was very concerned to read the information that infers that there is no water quality issue in Chanhassen and in fact the quality of many of our lakes is actually improving. These conclusions fly in the face of other sources of information including Metropolitan Council data. They deny the reality that many of our lake residents have visually noted declines in quality. What probably concerns me the most is that there appear to be major inconsistencies in the data on which these I conclusions were based. I have asked our consultants, Bonestroo Engineering, to review the material and ultimately many 1 of these questions need to be resolved by having our engineers speak directly to yours. However, I note the following: 1. The trend data contained in the report dates back to the early 1970s. p y Much of the data indicates improvement in water quality in the early years of testing. Since the District's I report offered no theories as to why changes to water quality were occurring, I can only speculate. The 1970s saw the installation of lake -side sanitary sewer systems that relieved direct discharges as well as the removal of a small treatment plant on Rice Marsh Lake. I Thus, it is reasonable to expect some short term improvement. However, many of the same charts appear to indicate declining trends since the early to mid 1980s, which is 1 1 Mr. Conrad Fiskness May 10, 1993 Page 3 consistent with impacts from urbanization. Yet the report seems to extrapolate that the 1970's trends will continue. ' 2. Some of the sampling methodologies seem inconsistent with developing accurate data on the lakes. This needs to be further explored. ' 3. Just a few years ago, the District used declining lake water quality to justify undertaking the $1 million Chain -of -Lakes project. The project was not undertaken due to outside issues but never -the -less, I have to ask what has happened in the last few years to 1 significantly change things? 1 As I indicated above, I would like to have these and other issues explored by our respective engineers and have them report their findings back to us before any final conclusions are drawn. LACK OF CITY REPRESENTATION ON DISTRICT ISSUES I have Ion been concerned over long the lack of direct participation of City staff on District, Board ' or advisory committee activities. To the extent that we are to jointly manage water resources, excellent communication is paramount. It is for this reason that we have been sending all meeting packets for the Surface Water Management Program (SWMP) Task Force to your staff ' and invited their participation. I further note that many of our concerns over the District's recent water quality report may have been dealt with at an earlier stage. When your citizen advisory committee was established some time ago, Charles Folch, our City Engineer, contacted the district asking that he or some other city staff member be appointed. He never got a response. Without hearing from Mike Klingelhutz, a Chanhassen resident who was appointed (but who has since resigned) we would have no idea about what they were discussing. When I raised this concern recently to Bob Obermeyer, he told me that Charles was on your Technical Committee. Charles has never been informed about this and when I asked Bob about it he told me that they have never met. 1 The last situation has to do with a proposal to cooperatively develop a water quality improvement project with the District that was suggested by you at one of our SWMP meetings. You heard ' about improvement projects we were considering and noted that one of the advantages to the District was your ability to fund projects. You suggested we submit a proposal to cooperatively undertake the project. We formally submitted a proposal and never heard back from the Board, 1 nor were we ever invited to discuss it with them. After several months I asked Bob about it and he told me the Board had decided they could not participate until a new district plan was developed at some time in the future. Clearly, this situation can be improved upon. 1 1 1 Mr. Conrad Fiskness May 10, 1993 Page 4 1 SUMMARY As I noted at the outset of this letter, I believe these issues need to be addressed and a new understanding of how our water resources are to be managed needs to be developed. We are asking that you direct your staff to meet with City representatives so that we can report our 1 findings back to our respective decision makers in the near future. Thank you in advance for your consideration in this matter.

This report has been prepared by the EQB Subcommittee on Environmental Review Revisions. The report includes nine recommendations for ' revisions to the existing review program- -some minor, some major. ' The EQB is seeking public reaction to the ideas in this report. Written comments should be submitted to the EQB offices by May 14. To aid your review, a list of "leading questions" is enclosed on issues and topics we are particularly interested in ' receiving input about. As an additional means of getting feedback, the EQB will hold two ' public forums: * Thursday, April 29, Bt.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW REVISIONS LEADING QUESTIONS TO ACCOMPANY 'REPORT "CONCEPTS FOR REVISION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PROGRAM": • Question 1. The report indicates that one major problem with the current process is that the EAW process, which is intended only to screen a project to determine if thorough review is required through an EIS, is frequently used as if it were intended to be a thorough review in itself. The problem with this is that an EAW is not designed to cover everything that an EIS would, particularly alternatives to the project, and the process is less thorough, especially with respect to public input. Recommendation 1 of this report suggests three optional process revisions to try to correct this situation. In your view, is this substitution of the EAW for the EIS a serious problem, and what is your reaction to each of the three options for revision? Do you have any ideas for additional options? Question 2. The second major problem identified by the report is the lack of any administrative oversight on decisions by RGUs. The report suggests a limited EQB oversight role involving the authority of the EQB Chair to remand - -send back for reconsideration -- a faulty decision to the RGU. The EQB would NOT be able to reverse the decision, but could require reevaluation of the decision and point out flaws and omissions. Only the courts would actually be able to overturn an RGU's decision. Do you believe that some sort of administrative oversight is needed? If so, what is your reaction to the proposal in this report? Do you have any concrete ideas for other forms of oversight that might be more effective without being too time - consuming? Question 3. Recommendation 3 suggests creating a list of specific , indicators of "significant impacts," to be used to decide if complete (EIS - level) review is needed. A draft list of such indicators is shown in an appendix. What is your reaction to this list, and do you have any suggestions for improving it? Question 4. Many people feel that the unit of government with the most authority over a project often has an inherent bias in favor of the project, which creates a conflict with objective review, and that therefore some other unit should instead be responsible for preparing the EAW or EIS. The report makes no recommendations about this issue. Do you see this as a major problem, and if so, do you have any suggestions for addressing , it? _ , (Continued) 11YI1O111111A1 00111111OHO 151 010A8 118111, S1. 1111, MM 15115 112 211 -2803 111 112 291 -9198 11111 P1011010 11 m P111 1 1 Question 5. The report makes no recommendations for changing the present citizens' petition process, except to develop better guidance about what sort of evidence needs to be submitted. Do you feel there are any major problems with the petition process 1 and, if so, what are your thoughts on improving it? Question 6. It is generally believed that developers are opposed to doing EISs because of the time and expensive involved. Do you have any concrete suggestions for streamlir}ing the process to make it more palatable to developers? Question 7. Do you have any suggestions for revising the existing mandatory EAW, EIS, or exemption categories or adding new ones? 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 II INTRODUCTION The purpose of this document is to present to interested persons some concepts under consideration by the EQB for revising the state environmental review program, and to solicit input from interested persons about the advisability of these proposed changes. 1 The revision concepts explained in this document have been developed at the direction of the Board by a staff -level committee of representatives of the member agencies of the EQB and a subcommittee of members of the Board itself. The Board directed the staff committee and subcommittee to review public criticisms of the present process that have been voiced in recent years and recommend changes that may be needed in the process. The concepts presented in this document represent the current thinking of the staff and subcommittee on what changes need to be made and how it should be done. The EQB invites all interested persons to review this document and express to EQB any reactions or other thoughts about revision of the environmental review process. A notice accompanying this document explains how to present your ideas to the EQB in writing or orally. , After the EQB subcommittee has reviewed public input and agreed on whatever modifications to the revision concepts are needed in response, the EQB would begin to draft specific wording for changes to the enabling statutes and rules to enact the revisions. It is anticipated that statutory changes, if required, would be introduced into the 1994 •session of the legislature. Formal rulemaking procedures would follow adoption of statutory amendments. If statutory changes are not required, formal rulemaking may begin in 1993. 1 1 -1- . BACKGROUND: A BRIEF HISTORY AND EXPLANATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL' REVIEW PROGRAM ' The Minnesota environmental review program is one of the most basic governmental tools for protection of environmental resources. It is a special review process that complements ' normal permitting and approval processes and is applied only to development projects which may potentially cause significant environmental effects. Of all development actions that take place across the state in a given year, only about 150 are reviewed under this program. This program is authorized by Minn. Stat., sec. 116D.04 and ' 116D.045 and Minn. Rules, ch. 4410. The purpose of the program is to disclose information. It complements whatever permitting and approval processes apply to a project by disclosing ' additional information about how the project could affect the environment, and how those effects could be reduced or avoided. It is then up to the officials who approve permits and other ' forms of approval for the project to take note of this information and use it in deciding if the project can be approved, and under what conditions. Environmental review does not, in itself, approve or disapprove a project. Environmental review is an open, public process. A major role is played by agencies which would not otherwise review a project and also by the general public. Environmental review uses two types of documents and processes to develop and present information. The most - frequently used is the ' Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW). The EAW is defined to be a brief document intended to set out the basic facts necessary to decide if the project has potential for significant ' environmental effects. If the project has potential for significant environmental effects, then the other review document, the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), is required. ' The EIS is intended to be more thorough than is an EAW, both in depth of analysis and in scope: the EAW is only intended to disclose whether the project will significantly affect the environment, whereas the EIS is intended to analyze the impacts in some depth and identify means by which the impacts could be reduced through mitigation measures or avoided through the implementation of an alternative to the project as proposed. ' Both EAWs and EISs are automatically required for certain types and sizes of projects, as specified in rules adopted by the EQB. ' Most review is done because of these mandatory requirements. However, if review is not mandatory, in most cases it can be ordered at the discretion of any governmental unit that must approve the project. Some minor projects, however, are ' specifically exempted from review at all. -2- i An EAW process typically requires 2 to 3 months to complete. YP Y qu P While EAW costs vary widely, any are done at relatively little cost. A typical EIS process takes 9 months to a year to complete , and costs in the neighborhood of $100,000. On the average, about 120 EAWs are prepared each year and about 10 EISs are prepared. There is a third component to the environmental review process -- the citizens' petition. If neither an EAW nor EIS is otherwise required, by filing a petition signed by at least 25 individuals and accompanied by sufficient evidence of potential for environmental effects, citizens can formally request preparation of an EAW on a project. The petition does not automatically result in an EAW, rather, the "Responsible Governmental Unit" assigned by the EQB must consider the evidence available and make a determination of whether the project "may have the potential for significant environmental effects," in which case an EAW is necessary. BACKGROUND: WHY THE EQB IS CONSIDERING REVISING 1 THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PROCESS Over the last several years, in a variety of forums, significant criticism has been directed at the current state environmental review program. Much of the criticism has centered on two themes: (1) substitution of the EAW process for the EIS process; and (2) lack of checks and balances on RGU decisions. According to.statute, the EIS process is the tool for analyzing the environmental impacts of a project in depth, as well as for identifying mitigation measures and exploring alternatives. The EAW process is merely intended to disclose enough information to tell if an EIS is needed. However, in practice, the EAW process is often used as the environmental analytical tool in itself, in effect taking over the role of the EIS. Unfortunately, using the EAW in place of the EIS makes the review less thorough and narrows its scope. The review is less thorough because: there is less opportunity for outside input than in the EIS process; the EAW process does not include any provision for assessing review costs to the project proposer; and there is a lower expectation than for an EIS about the depth of analysis. It is narrower in scope because the EAW process is not intended to address alternatives at all and is less thorough about mitigation than is the EIS process. Many critics of the present program believe that less -than- thorough review has become commonplace by the reliance on EAWs to the virtual exclusion of EISs, unless the EIS was mandatory. -3- i Under the present program statute and rules, the only way to • appeal or challenge a decision by an RGU about whether an EAW or EIS is needed is to file a legal action in district court. Even the EQB has no authority to challenge an RGU's decision except by filing a lawsuit. In addition, the EQB has no mandate and very limited resources to enforce any alleged violations of enviromental review requirements. Since 1982 the EQB has limited ' its role in enforcement of the program to cases where a clear mandatory EAW or EIS requirement was being completely ignored; the EQB presently is not in the business of challenging the ' discretionary decisions of RGUs. Many critics of the present program believe it is a mistake for EQB to have no responsibility for oversight of RGU discretionary ' decisions and advocate the reestablishment of some form of administrative appeal process that could be used instead of a lawsuit. Up until 1982 it was possible to appeal RGU decisions to the EQB, but the process had so many problems with it that it had to be abandoned. Designing an administrative process that works effectively and efficiently is not easy, but many think that some form of administrative oversight, probably exercised by EQB, is essential to an effective environmental review process. In August of 1990, the EQB discussed these and other environmental review issues at length, and decided that staff effort should be devoted to evaluating whether the process should be revised somehow to deal with these issues. A committee of EQB staff and staff of member agencies worked on these issues for about a year. A public solicitation of comments on the ' environmental review process was advertised in January 1991, and input received in response was considered by the committee. The staff committee delivered a report with recommendations to the Board in July 1991. The Board then formed a subcommittee of four ' members to work with the staff committee on the recommendations. In November 1991 a focus group of persons knowledgeable about the process was convened to discuss the staff committee's ' recommendations. The subcommittee developed the present report based on the results of all this previous work. -4- 1 RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE EQB SUBCOMMITTEE ON ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW REVISIONS FOR CHANGES TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PROCESS The remainder of this report presents the concepts for revision of the environmental review process supported by the EQB Subcommittee on Environmental Review based on discussions to date. These concepts are subject to modification based on future review and comment from interested persons. 1 ,Introduction to Recommendat 1. 2. and 3. Recommendations 1, 2, and 3 represent three different responses to the issue of the substitution of the EAW process for the EIS process. Recommendation 1 presents three options for revising the process of environmental review to get at this issue. Recommendation 2 addresses the issue by giving the EQB authority to overrule an RGU's decision not to do an EIS. Recommendation 3 attempts to prevent substitution of the EAW for the EIS by creating more specific indicators of "potential for significant environmental effects," the statutory standard for requiring an EIS, under the assumption that if it is more obvious that the standard for an EIS is met, it will be harder to avoid doing an EIS. Recommendations 1, 2, and 3 are not mutually exclusive solutions to the problem of substitution of the EAW for the EIS. Recommendation 2 could be used in conjunction with the existing process or options 1 -A or 1 -B of recommendation 1. Recommendation 3 could be used with any process option. Recommendation 2 is also obviously proposed as a solution to the issue of lack of an administrative oversight process for RGU decisions. RECOMMENDATION 1: REVISE THE EAW AND EIS PROCESSES. Three conceptual options for revision of the EAW and EIS processes have been developed and are presented in this report. In different ways, each addresses the issue of the substitution of the EAW for the EIS. The three options are: 1. Option 1 -A is basically a fine - tuning of the existing process. 2. Option 1 -B would replace both the EAW and EIS processes with a new, unified process that blends elements of the EAW and EIS processes together into one. 3. Option 1 -C would change the EAW process into a review process in its own right (i.e., not simply a screening process to see if an EIS is needed) and would change the way in which an EIS could be ordered after completion of the EAW. A fourth option would to be to leave the processes as they are now, and accomplish the objective of avoiding substitution of the EAW for the EIS by means of recommendations 2 and 3. -5- il II Recommendation 1. Option 1 -A. "Fine- tune" the existing processes. This option would retain the role of the EAW as primarily a screening document to help determine if an EIS is needed. The culmination of the EAW process would continue to be the decision II by the RGU at the end on whether an EIS will be done. The changes to the EAW process outlined below would be intended II basically to improve the information disclosed through the EAW process so that a better EIS decision can be made when used in conjunction with the better significance criteria in Recommendation 3 and the EQB oversight of Recommendation 2. I Option 1 -A would amend the EAW process in the following ways: 1. Increase from 30 to 90 days the allowable time for I postponement of the EIS need decision after the end of the comment period in order to obtain critical missing information. 2. Add a second review period for obtaining public comment on supplemental information gathered in response to comments II received in the original 30 day review period. 3. Add a step to the process, to occur immediately after the end of the 30 -day comment period, in which the project proposer I would be required to prepare a written response to comments appropriate for a proposer's response (primarily comments suggesting project modifications or addition of mitigation I measures). 4. Add a section to the EAW for called a Mitigation Plan that includes: (a) mitigation measures already incorporated into the project by the proposer; and (b) mitigation measures that 1 could be required through permits or other regulatory authorities. The Mitigation Plan would be revised based on comments and responses by the proposer and RGU and would be I adopted by the RGU as part of the record of decision on the need for an EIS. 5. Add a section called Alternatives that includes: (a) I explanation by proposer of any alternatives considered in the planning of the project and reasons why the project proposed was selected over yalternatives considered; and (b) identification by the RGU of other alternatives that appear to be I environmentally superior to the project as proposed. Commenters would be specifically asked to suggest other environmentally superior alternatives. I 6. Establish EQB "gatekeeper" authority, the authority of the Chair or a designee to reject EAWs submitted for notice in the EQB Monitor for lack of a complete and good faith response to the questions. The EIS process would not be fundamentally amended under this option, however, the rule provisions on scoping would be refined I to place more emphasis on covering only truly significant issues in an EIS. II -6- II II Recommendation 1 Option 1 -B. A new single flexible •rocess. 1 Option 1 -B would eliminate the substitution of the EAW for the EIS by merging the two processes into a single new type of process. This new unified process would be intended both to ease the transition from" EAW review" to "EIS review" and also to improve the efficiency of EIS review by piggy backing on the review already accomplished in the EAW review. A diagram depicting the steps of this proposed process is shown in Figure 1. The steps of this new process would be as follows; note that several options for controlling the number of reiterations of steps 4 to 6 are presented: 1. The RGU, working largely from data supplied by the proposer, would complete sections of the review form (similar to the current EAW but expanded) that are mandatory for completion in this step. This would include the information necessary to identify and assess the significance of environmental effects. At the option of the proposer, other form sections, including sections dealing with mitigation and alternatives, could also be completed in this step. 2. The RGU would distribute the document for a 30 -day comment period, similar to what we now have for an EAW except that a public meeting might be required. 3. The RGU would evaluate the information received to this point to decide if review has been adequately completed or if further review is necessary. The criteria for further review would be: (1) the review has failed to disclose sufficient information to identify and assess the level of significance of all environmental impacts; and (2) the information disclosed indicates that the project has "potential for significant environmental effects" according to the significance criteria in the rules (see recommendation #3). Before the RGU determines whether further review is necessary the proposer would have the opportunity to respond to comments received by modifying the project and /or agreeing to mitigation.. If the RGU determined review to be complete, a notice of completion and record of decision would be issued documenting and justifying the decision. If the RGU determined further review was necessary, it would issue an order for further review specifying what further review was needed. The types of further review possible would be: (1) additional information to identify and assess the level of significance of potential impacts (this type of additional information would basically be to correct deficiencies in the original document); (2) information to characterize significant environmental impacts in more detail, if needed; (3) information about mitigation to reduce or avoid identified environmental impacts of potential significance; and (4) information comparing the project as proposed to reasonable alternatives with potentially lesser environmental effects; this comparative information would address relevant significant economic an? social impacts as well as environmental impacts. -7- 11 1 4. If in step 3 the RGU determined further review was necessary the review would be performed by the RGU, again relying ' in part on information supplied by the proposer, and the appropriate sections of the review for pertaining to the further information would be completed. 5. The entire augmented review document would be distributed ' again for public review. The length of the review period might be linked to the type of additional information being supplied. Requests for further review would be required to be accompanied ' by evidence that the document contains inaccurate or incomplete information relevant to the identification, mitigation, or avoidance of potentially significant adverse environmental ' effects. 6. The RGU would repeat the decision - making process of step 3 based on the additional information developed in steps 4 and 5. Again the basic decision would be whether review as adequately ' completed, based on the same standard as in step 3. Two optional mechanisms for controlling how often further review could be ordered by the RGU are presented below. (Assuming it is not precluded) additional review would be needed if: (1) it were still not possible to determine the level of significance of some . impact; (2) additional information from steps 4 and 5 indicates that an impact is "significant" and it requires more detailed ' characterization; (3) additional information from steps 4 and 5 indicates an impact is "significant" and mitigation must be studied; (4) additional information from steps 4 and 5 indicates ' an impact is "significant" and there are apparently reasonable alternatives which would avoid or minimize the impact; or (5) study of mitigation or alternatives in step 4 was inaccurate or incomplete. ' If the RGU determined review to be complete, a notice and record of decision documenting and justifying the decision would be issued. If the RGU determined that further review was needed an order for further review would be issued and steps 4 to 6 would be repeated. ' 7. If the RGU ordered further review in step 6, the further review would be completed through the procedures of steps 4 to 6. The Subcommittee decided that two options for controlling ' possible abuses of further review orders (requiring reiteration of steps 4 to 6 simply to stall an unpopular project) should be presented for public reaction. Either of these could be added to ' the above process: Option 1. Place a limit on how often the RGU can require further review (perhaps limited to 2 orders) but allow a waiver of the limit by action of the EQB or EQB Chair for cause. Option 2. Allow the proposer to appeal further review orders to the EQB or EQB Chair (perhaps only on the third or subsequent order). The Subcommittee is interested in any opinions reviewers may have F) them n7ti cr - -or others -- for assuring that further review would not be abused under process option 1 -B. 1 -8- 1 11 The analysis under Option 1 -B would all be based on a for which would be like the current EAW form except expanded to deal with mitigation and alternatives and supplemental impact analysis. Some parts of the form would need completion for all projects in the initial round of review. Others would be mandatory only if either the project was in a mandatory EIS category or if the RGU found the need based on the results of completing other parts of the form. 1 Option 1 -B would introduce three innovations into environmental review. 1 The first important innovation of Option 1 -B is to change the nature of the decision that the RGU makes after review of the EAW. Presently, the RGU's options are "the whole EIS process" or "review over." (The RGU can also postpone a decision for up to 30 days to obtain critical missing information.) In over 99% of the cases, the RGU opts for "review over," even in the face of unanswered questions, unresolved issues, and unmitigated impacts. The situation must be very serious before the RGU is willing to order an EIS on a project where it is not mandatory. Option 1 -B would expand the options for further review. Instead of ordering an EIS as we now know it, the RGU could simply order further study of specific topics that were unresolved by the EAW. The second innovation of option 1 -B is that it would make the combined EAW and EIS processes more efficient by piggy- backing the EIS onto the EAW document. Under the present process, one of the biggest inefficiencies is that the EIS document is essentially a separate document from the EAW document that precedes it. Option 1 -B would create a process in which the initial EAW document would be the core of the final EIS document and additional information developed as part of the "EIS" review would be added to the EAW document (probably by use of new supplemental information sections). 1 The third innovation of the option 1 -B process is that the question of the need to explore alternatives could be postponed until a complete factual record about the impacts and mitigation had been developed. This record would allow a more realistic and focused debate about whether there are potential environmentally - superior alternatives which need to be compared 1 to the project. Presently, alternatives to be analyzed are selected during the scoping stage, when often only incomplete information is available about the nature and extent of impacts; this often makes it difficult to choose the right alternatives to explore. 1 1 -9- 1 1 1 0. Recommendation 1. Option 1 -C. EAW as review in itself. Option 1 -C would change the purpose of the EAW to be a review of the environmental impacts of the project and mitigation measures for these impacts. Presently, the purpose is merely to screen 1 the project to determine if an EIS is needed. The following changes would be made in the EAW process under this ' option: 1. There would be a draft and final EAW, with the final incorporating changes and new information added in response to ' convents on the draft. There would be a 10 day comment period on the final document. 3. A Mitigation Plan would be added, similar to that described under option 1 -A. 4. An Alternatives section would be added similar to that ' described under option 1 -A. 5. The EAW process would end with an official decision by the RGU of adequacy or completeness of the review of impacts and mitigation. The decision about the need for an EIS to explore alternatives would be a separate matter, as described below. 6. RGUs would be authorized to assess the EAW costs to the project proposer (perhaps with a cap on the amount). The EIS process would be altered primarily in how one could be ordered following completion of the EAW process. Under this option, all governmental units with approval authority over the ' project, and perhaps also the EQB, would have authority to order an EIS within a restricted time period after the end of the EAW process (perhaps 45 days). The unit ordering the EIS would automatically become responsible for preparing the EIS. The standard for ordering an EIS would be that despite the mitigation identified through the EAW, impacts were likely to still be ' significant and there were apparently superior alternatives that would avoid those impacts. The scope of the EIS would be limited to a comparison of the apparently superior alternatives with the project. Option 1 -C would officially recognize the EAW as something that it frequently is now in practice, i.e., a review in and of itself ' as opposed to a screening process for an EIS. The present EAW process has serious limitations as a review process, and option 1 -C would be one way to make it into a true review process. The distinction between an EAW and an EIS would be basically reduced to whether or not a serious exploration is made of alternatives that may be better for the environment. 1 -10- 1 1 Under this option, oversight of the EIS need decision is accomplished simply by granting authority to any governmental unit with approval authority over the project to order an EIS if it believes the standard is met. Under this option, all analysis of impacts and mitigation would be the province of the EAW. The EIS would be restricted to analysis and comparison of potentially environmentally - superior alternatives. • RECOMMENDATION 2: REESTABLISH SOME FORM OP EQB OVERSIGHT OP RGU ' DECISIONS. The need for a renewed oversight role for the EQB was one of the most universally agreed upon topics discussed by the EQB staff and subcommittees. It is widely believed that some form ofcheck- and- balance role is needed to counteract a tendency for RGUs to make pro - development, environmentally - insensitive decisions. Prior to the amendment of the program in 1982, the EQB did have authority to review and reverse RGU decisions. However, problems with the process and abuses of its use soured opinions of the EQB and RGUs alike about the viability of the EQB oversight role, and it was discarded by amendment of the statute. However, in hindsight, many now feel that it was a mistake to totally eliminate all oversight by EQB, and believe that some oversight is crucial to having an effective program. 1 The oversight role proposed is the authority of the EQB Chair to "remand" questionable decisions to the RGU for reconsideration, with written directions about what must be reconsidered and why. In conjunction, the EQB would. add additional staff for the environmental review program so that it could critically review RGU decisions. This oversight would NOT enable the EQB to actually overrule an RGUs decision; that action would continue to be the province of the court system. However, EQB would be in a much better position under this system than it is now to seek judicial action against bad decisions by RGUs. In agreeing to propose the "remand" form of oversight the EQB staff and subcommittees gave consideration to a variety of other possible forms of oversight which have been suggested, but rejected them. The primary reason for rejecting them is that all other proposals are believed to inherently take too long and consume too much time of the Board and staff. In addition, most persons familiar with the experience of EQB as an appeal body from 1974 to 1982 recognize that a Board appeal process does not necessarily lead to better decisions anyway. -11- • II 1 1 RECOMMENDATION 3. ESTABLISH SPECIFIC CRITERIA INDICATIVE OF • "SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS." The "potential for significant environmental effects" is the key phrase in the whole environmental review process yet it is undefined. It is proposed to add in the rules a listing of indicators of significant impacts which the RGU would be required to compare to the EAW information in deciding whether the ' potential for signficant environmental effects exists. If the project posed the potential to create any of the situations described on the list, the "significance" standard would be considered to have been met, and appropriate further review would ' be required (the exact for of the further review would depend on which of the four process options of recommendation 1 were chosen). However, the general principle is that if there is potential for any significant impacts, mitigation and alternatives must be explored. ' Appendix 1 presents a preliminary listing of significance criteria. It is recognized that much work remains to be done in refining this list before rules could be promulgated, and the subcommittee welcomes any thoughts on this from reviewers. ' RECOMMENDATION 4. ESTABLISH UNIFORM REQUIREMENTS FOR WHAT TYPES OF ALTERNATIVES MUST BE EXPLORED IN AN EIS (OR EQUIVALENT REVIEW ' DOCUMENT). An examination of past EISs reveals that alternatives analysis is commonly a weak point in EIS preparation. It is not uncommon for ' an EIS to address only two alternatives: the project as proposed and the "no- build" alternative. It is therefore proposed that all alternatives analyses be required to address the following ' types of alternatives: Alternative sites Alternative technologies ' Modified designs or layouts Downscaled size Alternatives incorporating identified mitigation "No- build" 1 If it is not reasonable to analyze any alternatives of one or more of these types, the EIS would instead include a ' justification of why no such alternatives were reasonable. This justification would be subject to review and challenge like any other part of the EIS content. "Alternatives incorporating identified mitigation" includes various redesigns and modifications of the project that would add in identified r.itigation measures. This type of alternative -12- 1 1 probably overlaps the the "modified design /layout" and "downsizing" alternatives in most cases, however, it needs to be explicitly listed to ensure that all EISs compare the impacts of the proposed project to a project that fully mitigates identified impacts. RECOMMENDATION 5. EXPLICITLY AUTHORIZE THE USE OF "TIERED" REVIEW. 1 "Tiering" of environmental review is a concept taken from federal NEPA procedures. It refers to the separation, or tiering, of review into stages, where each successive tier becomes more focused on details. The first tier of such review normally examines broad or generic issues, such as alternative technologies to accomplish a certain objective, while the later tier(s) deal(s) with specific details of sites and structures. Tiered review is appropriate in situations where it is not feasible to examine all potential options in detail at once and where the decision as to what to do can be broken down into a series of logical steps. A typical example is the process of siting some sort of facility where the decision can be broken into a preliminary step of selecting the best "search area" from among a group of candidate search areas and a secondary step of picking the best site within the selected search area. 1 Tiered review can be interpreted to be implicit in the current process, but it is not explicitly provided for. .The proposal is to add specific authorization for tiered review and guidance for how it is to be done. As part of this guidance, there should be provisions to assure that an appropriate level of review precedes each decision- making point where any alternatives are dismissed. RECOMMENDATION 6. REVISE THE WAY OF APPLYING MANDATORY CATEGORY THRESHOLDS SO AS TO COUNT PAST PROJECT STAGES AS WELL AS THE PRESENTLY PROPOSED STAGES IN ORDER TO BETTER ADDRESS CUMULATIVE IMPACTS; ADD EAW QUESTIONS REGARDING CUMULATIVE IMPACTS. ' It is generally felt that cumulative impacts -- impacts that accumulative sequentially from multiple projects -- is an area of concern that is not dealt with very well under the current process. Two proposed changes are suggested. Under the present system, when it is being determined if a proposed project exceeds the thresholds for mandatory EAWs or EISs, anything already in existence (past project stages) is never counted (except in the case of marina projects for which special wording requiring consideration of past stages already exists). This has led to circumvention of review through staging projects over time so that no stage up for approval ever exceeds a mandatory threshold regardless of the total cumulative size of the overall project, and regardless of the cumulative impacts of -13- 1 1 the overall development. • The proposal is to impose a new rule for applying mandatory category thresholds that requires inclusion of all past stages of the project by the same proposer; if the sum of past stages plus what is current proposed exceeds the threshold, review would be mandatory. This change would eliminate some cases of circumvention of the review process and give a better handle on cumulative impacts from sequential development. An additional recommendation regarding cumulative impacts is to add questions to the EAW form at its next updating asking for an explanation of how the proposed project was contributing towards cumulative impacts which might, as a whole, be significant even if the present increment was minor in itself. RECOMMENDATION 7. DEVELOP BETTER GUIDANCE FOR PETITIONS 80 THAT THE "MATERIAL EVIDENCE" BURDEN I8 IDENTICAL IN ALL CASES. Questions frequently arise about how much evidence need be ' submitted in order to make a citizens' petition for an EAW valid. • There is no statutory or rule clarification of what constitutes "material evidence." The proposal is to creat additional guidance on this point so that all petitions can be held to the same standard and so projects are not delayed by petitions for which there is no 1 sufficient evidentiary basis. The resolution of this issue could be accomplished either by adding guidance to the statute or rules regarding what is material evidence, or by developing more complete administrative guidance to give to prospective petitioners, perhaps in the for of a recommended petition form. ' RECOMMENDATION 8. REVISE THE MANDATORY EAW AND EIS THRESHOLDS. ' To date, the following mandatory category revisions have been suggested: - add categories requiring review of land use planning and ' zoning actions -- this could include adoption and amendment of comprehensive plans and major zoning or rezoning decisions - reevaluate EIS categories for public projects to assure that thresholds cover all projects that could significantly ' affect the environment and which involve choices among alternatives -- perhaps add a general mandatory EIS category for significant public projects - update the category types to address new types of projects or new technologies that have emerged since the last update, including: ash landfills; medical waste incinerators; PCB ' incineration; ranure composting - update categories for solid and hazardous waste -14- 1 1 - update recreational projects category -- consider EIS threshold, distinguish sewered from unsewered projects ' - delete interstate natural gas pipeline EAW threshold - update highway and airport thresholds Additional suggestions for mandatory category revisions are welcome as part of the response to this report. RECOMMENDATION 9. MAKE VARIOUS HOUSEKEEPING AMENDMENTS TO THE PROGRAM RULES. If and when the rules are revised, there are a variety of minor errors that will be proposed for correction. • 1 1 1 — MN NM MN MI i• MN — = NM NM MN i♦ — NE MN = MI 111111 . hi H 0 0 td N 1 I No co H ti Environmental RGU 1 Yes Further RGU o0 Comment Decision I Comment Impact --0,..

MNDOT staff indicate that they anticipate no problem and expect the EIS approval process to procged without delay. Upon approval by the Federal highway Administration and signatures by the other federal agencies, a notice that the EIS is complete will be published in the federal register. The federal register notice will solicit comments for thirty days and at the end of the comment period, the EIS will be approved. The EIS hopefully should be approved by June 30, 1993. Upon approval of the EIS, MNDOT will be able to apply to the Pollution Control Agency for indirect source permits necessary to start the project . Increased State Transportation Funding For 1993 Is Doubtful The House and Senate have approved transportation appropriation bills that do not increase funding for highway projects. The House, however, accepts the governor's recommendations to increase transit funding by $25.0 million. Transit funding in the Senate bill is the same as the current biennium. The Senate bill which is authored by Sen. Keith Langseth did contain a 50 gas tax increase, indexing of the tax, and a 1 /2% increase in the motor vehicle excise tax (MVET). The MVET increase would have been used for transit while the gas tax would be used for highways. The tax increases were deleted in the Senate tax committee. The taxes were deleted due to the efforts of several legislators who believed that the funding 1 package did not provide equity for transit. To obtain equity funding, an amendment to the bill was offered that would have authorized a constitutional amendment in 1994. The amendment would have divided the proceeds of any increase in the motor fuels taxes equally between transit and highways. The amendment was not adopted. In addition to the funding equity issue, the future of interstate 35W is part of the transportation funding debate. In fact, both the House and Senate bills contain language prohibiting activity on I-35W or 1-494. The Senate bill prohibits land acquisition on I-35W until August 1, 1994 while the House bill prohibits land acquisition on 35W and 494 and also prohibits any work on the additional lane of 35W south of 494. Unlike 1 the Senate bill, the House 35W provisions do not have an expiration date. If no funding is approved, it is probable that MNDOT will need to defer projects. Rep. Myron Orfield To Speak At Annual Meeting Rep. Myron Orfield has spent much of the Session discussing the development of the metropolitan area. Based on his studies, Rep. Orfield cort,nds that poverty and related issues are evident In several suburban cities, as well as in the central cities and that jobs have increased in the second ring suburbs (Eden Prairie and Minnetonka) and decreased in the inner ring cities. Being aware of the trends, Rep. Orfield has 1 1 1 authored several bills relating to the metropolitan area including transportation, housing and govemance of the metropolitan council. Rep. Orfie ld's initial transportation bill would have required a project's EIS to assess the impact of the highway on the availability and location of affordable housing and would prohibit the metropolitan council from approving a project unless the affected cities were in compliance with housing goals developed by the council. The transportation bill has been amended but highways and housing linkages are a major element of Rep. Orfield's proposed polices.

Although all of the complainants wish to remain anonymous, the mutual consensus was that they were concerned about driving along a street with kids I playing basketball in the street. Another neighbor was also concerned about backing in and out of their driveway while kids are playing. As you may or may not be aware, the City requires that a permit be acquired for any private structure or 1 installation located within the City's right -of -way. We do not have record that a permit was obtained for this § basketball hoop nor does the City grant permits to install basketball hoops within the right -of -way. Having the basketball pole and hoop located as such not only presents safety problems for both youth and motorists, but 1 this also creates some maintenance difficulties for the snow removal operations. Given that this type of installation is not permitted and that a number of complaints have beenreceived, the City I requests your cooperation in removing this basketball hoop within the next 30 days from the date of this letter.

The Phase I cultural resource investigation will be accomplished to provide information necessary for an Environmental Assessment of the construction project, which is being completed by Barton - Aschman Associates, Inc. This proposal responds to a Request For Proposals issued by Barton - Aschman Associates on March 15, 1993. The following technical proposal, schedule, and cost proposal reflect the information contained in the Request For Proposals and our experience in conducting similar investigations in the vicinity of this project. Research Orientation This investigation is intended to provide information about the locations, horizontal and vertical extent, and general nature of historic and prehistoric cultural resources within the project area. To the extent possible, this investigation will also provide relative dates of cultural sequences, the integrity of cultural materials, and the significance of cultural resources according to the Criteria for Eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places. Preservation of significant cultural resources is the guiding principal of this investigation, and the methods and procedures for this investigation will yield maximum information to allow project planners to avoid affect to significant cultural resources. 1 Substantial formal archaeological testing is not within the scope of this Phase 1 investigation, and to the extent possible this Phase 1 investigation will yield , information necessary to avoid the costs and delays associated with Phase II evaluative testing and possibly Phase III data recovery. However, excavation of a limited number of formal test units may identify whether Phase 11 testing or avoidance is appropriate, and excavation of a small number of formal units can be accomplished quickly and at relatively low cost as part of this Phase 1 investigation. This Phase I investigation therefore will include some elements of a Phase 11 testing project. Pre -Field Investigation ' Prior to field survey, Tellus Consultants will obtain results of a search of the official state cultural resources files to determine if historical or archeological sites have been recorded or reported within the survey area or nearby. Tellus Consultants will also consult atlases, plat maps, and other available sources which may indicate 1 1 Chanhassen Proposal Page 2 previous land use or presence of historic or prehistoric features. A number of small prehistoric sites are known to exist in the general vicinity of the project, typically 1 on small knolls or hills adjacent to wetlands or lakes. Geomorphological Investigation I The project area is in an upland setting and contains only three small drainage crossings. In general, the project area is relatively unlikely to contain either deeply - 1 developed surface soils or buried soil horizons sealed by non - organic strata such as stream - washed silt or sand. However, cultural resources might exist in deeply buried contexts in limited locales of the project area, and MN -DOT has I - recommended geomorphological investigation to define areas in which deeply buried resources might exist. Geomorphological investigations will serve as a basis for location of shovel probes and formal test units if appropriate. I Geomorphological investigation will be accomplished prior to archaeological survey. I Field Investigations. Field methods will comply with Minnesota State Historic Preservation Office I guidelines for Phase I cultural resource inventory. The project area will be intensively surveyed by a field team walking transects spaced at approximately 15 meter intervals. The direction of transects may vary slightly according to local topography and survey conditions. Special attention will be given to areas I exhibiting favorable ground surface visibility or access to subsurface conditions (road cuts, cattle trails, rodent mounds, stream cut banks). I Limited shovel probing will be conducted in areas where vegetation or other conditions do not allow adequate visibility of the ground surface to determine if I prehistoric or historic materials are present; shovel probing will be limited to areas with gentle slopes in which prehistoric or historic cultural resources are likely to exist intact. Shovel probes wilt generally be no more than 40cm square and no 1 more than 50cm deep; probes will be placed at 10 -meter intervals or as necessary to adequately examine the survey area. Material removed from shovel probes will be screened through 114" hardware cloth; cultural materials will be collected for I later laboratory examination. Depth of each shovel probe and general soils conditions will be recorded. Probe holes will be refilled with screened earth. 1 Extensive excavation of formal test units is not within the scope of this project, but excavation of a limited number of formal units may be necessary to either I avoid unnecessary Phase II testing or to provide information useful for planning Phase II work. The dominant type of prehistoric site in the vicinity of this project is sparse lithic scatter located on hilltops above lakes and other wetlands. Many of these lithic scatters contain few diagnostic artifacts, and many sites have lost I stratigraphic integrity because of plowing and other disturbance. Shovel testing 1 1 • Chanhassen Proposal Page 3 alone will probably not be sufficient to determine the abundance of artifacts, the age and cultural affiliation, and the integrity. Tellus Consultants estimates that up to four prehistoric sites will be found in the project area, and we propose to excavate one formal test unit in each of the prehistoric sites. Format units will be located in areas of relatively high artifact occurrence, as indicated on surface or in shove! probes, and units will be excavated in arbitrary 10cm levels to at least 1 20cm below the lowest level bearing cultural materials. All excavated materials will be passed through 1/4-inch screen. Site Recording Four categories of cultural resources may be identified within the study area: 1 prehistoric archaeological sites, historic archaeological sites, architectural sites and isolated finds. Sites of each category will be recorded according to specific criteria 111 as required by the State Historic Preservation Officer. When archaeological cultural material scatters are found, the location of each item I will be marked with surveyor's pin -flags to allow controlled identification of the cultural materials and mapping of locations of diagnostic artifacts and concentrations. Sites exhibiting extremely large amounts of cultural material may be found; on these sites an attempt will be made to provide an accurate approximation of amount and type of material types present. In some cases an analysis zone or transect may be utilized to provide a means of determining overall I site density and material content from a limited sample of material from the site. Site sketch maps will be generated by use of hand -held compass and tape. Site boundaries will be determined to the degree possible by means of surface I examination and shovel probing; site boundaries will be marked with pin flags to allow project planners to precisely locate the resources. Data will be recorded in the field in the form of field notes, descriptive sections of appropriate state site forms, 35mm format black and white photographs, sketch maps, planview maps where appropriate, surveyors notes, large scale contour project maps when available, 7.5' USGS topographic maps and information recorded on artifact and field sample bags. All materials will be returned to Tellus Consultants office and laboratory facilities for processing and analysis. 1 Historical archaeological sites will be recorded by generating a representative inventory of cultural material present, site boundary definition and plotting on 7.5' 1 USGS quadrangle maps, photographic documentation of the site, completion of appropriate state site forms, and completion of a site sketch map. This methodology parallels that of prehistoric archaeological cultural material scatters as I discussed above. 1 1 1 Chanhassen Proposal Page 4 Architectural sites will be recorded in a manner similar to that used to record historical archaeological sites: recording a representative inventory of cultural I material present (if any), site boundary definition, photographic documentation of the site and features, completion of site forms, plotting of the site on USGS 7.5' quad maps and generation of a site sketch map. Recording of standing structures I will include verbal description of general form, plan, materials, roof type, windows, construction techniques, decorative treatments, and alterations or erosions of original construction. Photographs will be taken from opposite corners of major structures when possible, to show all exterior watts and all roof slopes. Additional photographs will show particular construction features such as wall materials and I joining techniques. Isolated finds are generally considered one or two isolated artifacts. This amount I of cultural material is indicative of human activity in the area but usually does not contain sufficient information to justify designation of an area as a site. Isolated finds will be recorded on the appropriate state isolated find recording form, including a brief description of the cultural materials. The location will be recorded I on a USGS 7.5' topographic map. The surface collection strategy during survey will be to recover only those artifacts I which could aid in the temporal or functional interpretation of the site. Locations of the collected artifacts will be shown on site sketch maps or more formal site feature maps. Limited collection at the initial survey stage eliminates unnecessary I laboratory analysis and preserves the artifact assemblage in place for later testing or mitigation investigations. Unless otherwise directed by the project sponsor, I collected artifacts will be considered the property of the surface land owner. Collected artifacts will be temporarily curated at Tellus Consultants facilities prior to their return to the landowners. I Each prehistoric archaeological and historical archaeological site will be marked in the field by the installation of a permanent datum. These permanent datums are 1 stakes manufactured from a length of 1/2" PVC water pipe. A Tellus Consultants field number will be written on the stake in indelible marking pen, and the stake will be driven into a relatively secure location. The datum will be shown on site 1 sketch and more formal site maps. I Site Evaluation Tellus Consultants routinely evaluates the National Register eligibility of historic period resources as part of Phase I inventory, and will do so for this project. I Historical information about the historic sites will be sought from available local residents during and following field survey. A complete title history will be I compiled for properties more than 50 years old, and names of persons associated with each site will be sought in available historical and biographical sources 1 1 Chanhassen Proposal Page 5 concerning the respective city, county, and state. All structures and other historic sites will be evaluated by a qualified historian or architectural historian according to Criteria for Eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places. It is possible that evaluation of historical archeological sites under Criterion D (likelihood to yield important information) can not be completed without subsurface testing, but this situation is relatively rare. Prehistoric and historic archeological sites will be evaluated to the extent possible prior to formal subsurface testing. Evaluation at completion of survey will include consideration of the nature, age, and cultural affiliation of observed materials, the geographical /topographical context of the site, soils conditions of the site area, and whether the site area has been disturbed by human or natural forces. If the survey does not yield information adequate to determine the National Register eligibility of archeological sites, recommendations will be offered for further investigation or avoidance of the sites. Reporting 1 Tellus Consultants will prepare a report of the survey and survey findings according to pertinent standards of the State Historic Preservation Office and /or the State Archeologist. The report will include (1) an identification of the project and project area, (2) results of the pre -field records search, (3) description of field and archival research methods, (4) inventory and evaluation of recorded sites within the project area, (5) recommendations for management of recorded properties including further investigation if necessary, and (6) list of cited references. The report will, at a minimum, contain (1) a general -area map showing project location, (2) U.S.G.S. topographical quadrangle coverage of the project area showing project boundaries and locations of recorded historic and prehistoric sites and isolated finds, and (3) at least one photograph depicting the project area. , Schedule All research, field investigations, and reporting will be completed by May 30, 1993. Tellus Consultants will make every effort to complete the investigation in as short a time as possible. Personnel Tellus Consultants anticipates using three persons for this project: an Archaeologist (M.A., Principal Investigator), an Historian /Architectural Historian (M.A.), and an archaeological field assistant (B.A.). Tellus Consultants will provide clerical, drafting, and report production support to the principal personnel. Additional qualified staff are available to expedite Phase II testing /evaluation if necessary. • 1 1 1 Chanhassen Proposal Page 6 The g eomor holo ist for this project will be qualified under the Minnesota P 9 P ro1 Historical Society's standards, published spring, 1993. 1 Budget 1 Tellus Consultants proposes to accomplish this investigation under a two- tiered, fixed price arrangement: 1 Tellus proposes to accomplish all research, survey, shovel testing, artifact analysis, site recording, and reporting for a fixed sum of S15, I 375.50. A detailed itemization is appended to this proposal for this basic proposal. I Tellus proposes to accomplish excavation of up to four formal test units, analysis of artifacts from these units, and reporting of these excavations for an additional sum of $1,000 per test unit (per site). I This budget item is offered separately because test units may not be needed if prehistoric sites are not found in the study area, and fewer than four formal test units may be required if fewer prehistoric sites 1 are found within the project area. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 TELLUS CONSULTANTS CULTURAL RESOURCE DIVISION I ITEMIZED COST ESTIMATE Proect: Barton- Aschman Associates TH-5 EA, Chanhassen, MN Date: April 26, 1993 Project Type: Phase I Survey Labor /Cost Categories: PI /Arch PI /Hist Crew Chief Crew Cost Item Cost Labor: 480.00 480.00 320.00 280.00 Number of Personnel: 1.00 1.00 .00 1.00 Mileage (Per Mile): .35 Photo (Per Roll): 38.00 Task 1: Meetings /Negotiation Labor: .50 .50 480.00 Task 11: Records Search Labor: 1.00 .00 .00 480.00 Mileage /Travel: 30.00 10.50 Copies: .00 20.00 Task 11 -A: Geomorphology II Contracted Services 1,000.00 1,000.00 Task 1II: Field Survey Labor (Person Days) 2.50 .00 .00 2.50 1,900.00 Per Diem (Person Days) .00 .00 .00 .00 Mileage: 300.00 105.00 I Photographs: 4.00 152.00 Task IV: Shovel Probing and Site Recording /Updating II Est.

In this place you might find trees, open grassy areas or a complex mix of shrubs and trees. Most likely it offers a unique sanctuary to birds, animals, insects and flowers. At least a few times a year, it is probably flooded. These 1 unique areas that create a transition between water and upland areas are called riparian zones. Riparian zones characteristically have high densities and a great diversity of animal and plant I species. Consequently, they form important corridors or pathways for the movement of living things within the larger landscape. These zones have a number of other functions as well. Trees and vegetation stabilize streambanks and shade the water, regulating light and temperature I conditions for aquatic organisms. Riparian areas capture and retain surface runoff that comes from upland areas, thereby holding some of the nutrients and soil that might have otherwise reached rivers and streams. Under natural conditions, a riparian zone can operate in four ways — I as filter, transformer, sink and source. Filter — Leaf litter, grasses, and porous soils found in these zones slow the movement of surface I runoff, allowing some soil particles and other solids to settle out before reaching surface water. Transformer —Toxic chemicals are changed into nontoxic forms through biological and chemical I processes operating in the riparian zone. Sink — Sediments that are caught and stored in forest or gress litter eventually become part of the I soil. Phosphorus easily bonds with soil particles, reducing the amount that can reach rivers by as much as 80 percent. In addition, nitrogen and phosphorus are removed from the soil when they are used by the trees and plants in the corridor during their growth cycle. 1 Source —The riparian zone provides nutrients to the water in the form of leaves, insects, fruit, twigs, etc. Many of these things serve as a source of food for aquatic organisms. 1 Many federal, state and county agencies are now promoting the maintenance and•restoration of riparian zones as critical buffers areas between upland land use practices and our waters. Riparian areas that have been least affected by development activities are the most effective 1 buffers. 1 1 River Reach 2 Along the Minnesota River and its tributaries, many of the natural riparian areas and buffer strips have been altered or affected in some way by agricultural practices and urban development. With the loss of these areas, the Minnesota River has become increasingly exposed to chemicals and soil from upland areas. While maintaining or restoring riparian areas along our streams is very beneficial to water ualit q y and wildlife, it cannot be looked upon as a "magic bullet" for addressing water quality in the Minnesota River. Healthy riparian zones along our streams, coupled with changes in our upland land use practices are the only real way to significantly improve water quality in the Minnesota river over the long term. 0 Exactly what are water quality standards? by Muriel Runholt - 1 Over the past 20 years, our nation's waters have improved significantly. Some improvements are quite obvious to the observer; others are not as easy to detect. Many of these improvements have resulted from implementation and enforcement of the Clean Water Act of 1972 and its subsequent amendments. One cornerstone of the Clean Water Act is the water quality standards program. As part of this program, states must designate uses for all waters, e.g., drinking water, fishing and recreation or wildlife use, and the specific water quality criteria to protect that use. , There are seven possible classes (designated uses) for our waters in Minnesota. They are: 1) domestic consumption, 2) fisheries and recreation, 3) industrial consumption, 4) agricultural irrigation, 5) aesthetic enjoyment and navigation, 6) other uses, and 7) limited resource value waters. Each class has its own water quality standards. If body of water is classified in more than one category, all the water quality standards for each of the classes apply. If the water quality standards for a particular parameter for the various standards are different, the more restrictive standards apply. Water quality standards can be developed for a whole range of pollutants. These standards often set limitations on the amount of pollutants that can be in a body of water. These limits are developed to protect the designated uses of the water. For example, a dissolved oxygen standard is I applied to those waters designated for fisheries and recreation. This standard will ensure that the proper levels of dissolved oxygen are present in the water to ensure healthy fish populations and to protect other aquatic life. Use designations for the Minnesota River are different, depending on the portion of the Minnesota pe g po esota River you are looking at. Sites in the upper reaches of the river are designated as Class 1, 2, or 3, while the lower reaches of the river are designated as 2 or 3. , Under summer, low flow conditions, water quality standards are often violated in the lower reaches of the Minnesota River. Specifically, standards for dissolved oxygen, turbidity and bacteria are violated during this time of the year. Dissolved oxygen needed to support fisheries and other aquatic life is often found to be too low and bacteria levels too high. In order to meet 1 1 `► River Reach 3 ' water quality standards in the lower reaches of the river, it is estimated that nonpoint source pollution (contaminated runoff) must be reduced by 40 percent. Nonpoint source pollution is the major cause of pollution in the Minnesota River. The public can play a role in setting state water quality standards. Every three years, states must revisit and revise, if needed, their water quality standards. Public hearings are held at that time ' to solicit public comments on those standards. If you wish to participate in the next round of hearings on water quality standards, contact Greg Gross of the MPCA Water Quality Division at (612) 296 -7312. 0 1 • Clean Rivers Project mobilizes citizens in Minnesota River basin We've all seen them at one time or another. Small trash heaps, tire dumps, piles of discarded appliances, and other carelessly disposed of debris are commonly found in hidden ravines, along I - the edges of streams, or buried in the woods near our favorite rivers and lakes. As much as we may hate to admit it, illegal dumps are still prevalent throughout the state, and the Minnesota River basin is no exception. 1 In Faribault County, for example, 270 illegal dumps were documented, with approximately 60 -70 percent of these found along the banks of the river or its tributaries. Last year, the Minnesota ' Conservation Corps and Sentencing to Service pulled 93.7 tons of debris from some of these illegal dumps. Many natural resource professionals believe that other counties have similar numbers of dumps to contend with. 1 In addition to being eyesores to all who happen upon them, illegal dumps can also create environ- mental hazards. Improperly discarded oil, pesticide or other chemical containers may cause seri- ous contamination of rivers, wetlands and groundwater. Other garbage, such as old car batteries, may contribute toxic metals to the river system. 1 Over the past several years, volunteers around the Minnesota River basin have cleaned up tons of trash along the river, including appliances, cars, tires, barrels, furniture, and almost anything else you can imagine. Volunteers have said that seeing the impact of careless, thoughtless behaviors 1 on the river brings a deeper sense of caring for and connectedness with the river. While many volunteers find it disturbing to see how poorly the river has been treated, they are also rewarded with the immediate gratification of seeing tons of debris removed from the river and carted off to a ' recycler or landfill. A Minnesota Department of Natural Resources program called the Minnesota Clean Rivers Project ' provides assistance to grass roots organizations that are interested in cleaning up a portion of the Minnesota River or any of its tributaries. At the beginning of 1993, 150 groups had agreed to protect 450 miles of shoreland in Minnesota through this program. If your organization would like to adopt a river or stream, contact the Minnesota Clean Rivers Project for a free "how to" kit, that covers everything you will need to know to have a successful cleanup. For a free "how to kit call (612) 297 -8291. For more information on the Clean Rivers Project, contact Paul Nordell at (612) 297 -5476. 0 1 1 River Reach 4 Minnesota River Citizens' Advisory Committee debates rivers future In 1992, the Minnesota River Citizens' Advisory Committee was established to develop recommen- 1 dations for improving water quality in the river. The committee, comprised of 30 individuals, was created by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. Committee members were chosen based on I nominations from many organizations and individuals in the river basin. The committee members have gathered together out of the shared desire to see real improvements in water quality and the overall environment in the river basin. I The committee's purpose can be summarized by the mission statement that they developed early in 1992. The mission of the committee is to "develop a set of recommendations for improving water , quality, biodiversity and the natural beauty of the Minnesota River." Specific goals were also . developed by the committee: • encourage local units of government, other entities and individuals to play a major role in 1 implementing solutions to Minnesota river problems • encourage improved intergovernmental cooperation 1 • ensure equity between what will be expected of rural and metropolitan areas in solving the I river's problems • significantly improve public involvement and awareness, and I • ensure economically viable farms, rural and urban communities in the river basin. The committee has met seven times, and will be meeting monthly throughout most of 1993. To 1 date, the committee's activities have focused on developing a mission statement and goals, and on gathering broad background information on the water quality problems in the river. Specific issues the committee will explore further include the effect of drainage activities and land -use I practices on the river and the tributaries. During the remaining months of 1993, the committee will explore a variety of issues, and begin I the difficult task of sorting through information and developing draft recommendations. Their draft recommendations will be proposed to the MPCA's Citizens Board for approval and will then be available for public comment late in 1993 or early in 1994. 1 Final recommendations will be distributed widely to the general public, legislators, state agencies, and local units of government. This committee's recommendations will provide the foundation for 1 implementation efforts that will take place over the next several years.

The ' Minnesota River can boast of being home, at one time and another, to a former state record fish and six rare fishes. ' The flathead catfish is one of the state's largest, and some say ugliest, fish. The fish's name aptly describes its very wide and compressed forehead which appears to have been flattened. For several years, the record flathead catfish for the state was from the Minnesota River near Henderson, caught in 1930. This fish was listed in the Minnesota Fishing Regulations as weighing an incredible 157 pounds. However, because this fish had been speared, a revised hook and line rule forfeited the crown to another fish less than half this weight. ' Another catfish family member, the blue catfish, can also be a monstrous fish. This catfish closely resembles its much smaller and more common cousin, the channel catfish. Both have forked tails ' and are handsomely streamlined in comparison to the obese flathead. The blue catfish is, however, blue in color and lacks spots. There have been no specimens taken in this species recently. The blue catfish is considered to be very vulnerable to pollution and its numbers have ' also declined throughout the Mississippi, probably for this reason. Paddlefish and sturgeon are some of our most primitive fishes, and they are often referred to as ' living fossils because they are remnants of ancient fish families. Two families of the sturgeon family, the shovelnose and the lake sturgeon, have been found in the Minnesota River. The shovelnose is much smaller and more slender than the lake sturgeon and has a head resembling a spade. Although not abundant, the shovelnose is still found from the mouth of the river upstream to Granite Falls. However, the lake sturgeon, which is the largest of our native fishes, has not been seen in the Minnesota River for decades. The paddlefish has been taken much more recently from the Minnesota River. An angler caught one in Mankato in the winter of 1991. The paddlefish has been considered to be in decline in the Mississippi River system for many years due to dam construction and pollution. The paddlefish has a long snout that may comprise up to one third of its body length. This fish is a filter feeder and sifts zooplankton (small floating animals) through fine screens in their mouths in the same way that baleen whales feed in the oceans. ' Another fish that is extremely rare in the Minnesota River is the black buffalo. The black buffalo is one of the largest members of the sucker family. Its body is very deep and robust, and with ' some imagination, its large head does resemble a buffalo. The presence of the black buffalo, long been suspected in Minnesota, was not confirmed until 1991 when a fisherman caught one in the Cottonwood River at New Ulm. ' The blue catfish, shovelnose sturgeon, lake sturgeon and paddlefish have been designated by the Department of Natural Resources as species of Special Concern. These species are considered extremely uncommon or have highly specific habitat requirements or are at the periphery of their range. The decline of those fish that were once abundant are linked to several activities including the damming of the Mississippi River, pollution and overharvesting. The rediscovery of some of these species in recent years is a reminder of what we have lost and perhaps is a hopeful sign for the future. ❑ River Reach 6 Setting water quality goals and objectives: defining the players by Greg Johnson Articles in previous issues of River Reach have focused on the importance of designing effective water quality monitoring plans before collecting water quality samples. This article will continue 1 discussion on setting water quality goals and objectives. The first step in setting goals and objectives involves defining existing water quality conditions in a I project area. The next step involves defining who the "players" are in the project area and what their roles will be with respect to implementation activities. After completing these steps, you should be able to set appropriate water quality information goals and objectives. 1 Identifying the players and defining their roles is necessary so that the capabilities and/or limitations of the organizations and people involved can be realistically assessed. If this is not done, 1 the data gathering goals and objectives may not be attainable. It is critical to realistically match information needs with available staff resources. Documentation of the individuals' roles and responsibilities with the project is important in preventing confusion and/or discontinuity in cases where people and duties change. Change is inevitable, and it is important to be prepared so that a project can continue on an even keel, even though there may be a temporary disruption. Projects often operate with only general commitments of time and money for the operation and completion of a project. Many of these projects end up experiencing problems that could have been avoided through careful planning and development of 1 detailed descriptions of project roles and responsibilities. Information needed in identifying the "players" and their roles in a project includes the following: 1 • name of each organization and individual participating • project role(s) for each organization or individual ' • specific project tasks (as appropriate at this stage of planning) • amount of time that staff can commit in order to fulfill project role • experience/expertise of each organization or individuals as it relates to fulfilling project roles, ' and • description of "how -tos" for making transitions as they become necessary due to changes in the project organization. An evaluation should then be made to determine if any areas of activity or responsibility are missing from the project. If it appears that all your bases are covered, you can proceed into the actual development of information goals and objectives. If something is missing, you may want to lay out a framework for obtaining this item whether it involves another organization, person, or just an expansion of current responsibilities. The next issue of River Reach will finish the discussion of setting water quality goals and objectives.

Oliver ' Senator, District 43 121 State Office Building ' St. Paul, MN 55155 Dear Senator Oliver: 1 I appreciate your forwarding the letter you received from Crystal Schachterle and your response concerning potential impacts of development on the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. We have received numerous such letters as a result of an article that was placed in the Arboretum's member newsletter by Peter Olin, its Director. We believe that Mr. Olin has unfairly represented the city's position on development in general and on its impact to the Arboretum directly. In fact, Chanhassen has developed a deserved reputation for being a community that has been extremely innovative in the areas of ' environmental protection and urban design. There are two programs that probably exemplify these efforts best. In the environmental arena, Chanhassen was one of the first communities in the state to adopt a "no net loss wetlands protection program ", which we did some eight years before the state law came into being. We are on the verge of completing our comprehensive Surface Water Management Program, which includes cutting edge efforts in wetland protection, storm water management, and surface water quality protection. In the urban design area, our Highway 5 Corridor Program represents our efforts to deal with rapid growth and issues related to the expansion of a highway itself. We are currently in the process of working with a task force of residents to develop the city's approach which is likely to result in additional land use controls, the imposition of very high development standards, and unique measures to protect natural environmental features. As a matter of fact, we have invited Peter Olin to serve on our task force so that the issues and concerns of the Arboretum can be represented and continues to 1 do so. I am enclosing a copy of a letter that we have sent out to individuals who wrote the City Council raising concerns regarding the Arboretum. I am also enclosing a copy of our newsletter which outlines the Highway 5 program. I would be happy to meet with you in person at your 7. •.f PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER 1 1 Senator Oliver May 19, 1993 1 Page 2 convenience to brief you on the city's efforts in these and other areas.

As a State Legislator, I have little influence on zoning matters. Therefore, I have forwarded your letter to the Chanhassen City Planner, Paul Krauss, for his perusal.

I feel so fortunate to be resident of Chanhassen. I also feel fortunate to live just five miles from the Arboretum. Our Arboretum is one of the finest in the nation. I understand that property adjacent to the Arboretum is zoned for commercial as well as a multi - family dwelling. I am concerned that these types of developments would interfere with the natural beauty and environment of the Arboretum. I feel no authorization should be given to a development which destroys the natural features of any piece of land, be it water, wetlands, vegetation or landform. Further, no development should be approved until the developer presents an appropriate conceptual plan which relates new construction to the site's natural resources and gives respect to the cultural development pattern set out by the city. Is there anything you can do to help preserve this property to the best possible use in order to enhance the great investment we already have developed in our beautiful Arboretumt I would appreciate anything you can do in regards to this. Thank you for all you have done and are doing to help 1 make our community a nicer place to live.

BOX 147 • CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937 -1900 • FAX (612) 937 -5739 April 28, 1993 1 ' Ms. Crystal Schachterle 6350 Dogwood Avenue ' Excelsior, MN 55331 Dear Ms. Schachterle: Thank you for your recent inquiry to the City of Chanhassen. I understand from your letter that you were concerned over potential impacts to the Arboretum. We are not sure how you received your information but believe that at the very least, it appears you were not given all the facts. Chanhassen has long recognized the importance of the Arboretum to our community and has taken great pains to ensure that urbanization only occurs in a coordinated and sensitive manner. In fact, Chanhassen is the home of many important sensitive areas we are working to protect. These include the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife ' Refuge, Lake Minnewashta Regional Park, Camp Tanadoona operated by the Camp Fire Girls, six major recreational lakes and the Bluff Creek valley. Additionally, we are blessed with over 400 wetlands. ' In recognition of the need to protect our resources, the City has worked diligently for many years. We had a no- net -loss wetlands ordinance in place over eight years before the rest of the State of Minnesota dealt with that issue. As a part of our Surface Water Management Program, we have updated our wetlands protection program to the point where it is now considered to be a model for other communities. The program is additionally working to halt and reverse water ' quality impacts that result from non -point runoff. We also have a tree protection code in the process of being updated. ' We have also been extremely active in the area of urban design. The Arboretum is located in what we are calling the Highway 5 Corridor. Recognizing the need to ensure that only compatible development occurs, we have established the Highway 5 Corridor Planning program. ' We have a Task Force working hard on the plan and have included Peter Olin, as a representative es- t «: PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER 4 1 April 28, 1993 I Page 2 of the Arboretum, in the group. I am enclosing a copy of our "Building Community Across the I Corridor" newsletter that describes some of these efforts. While it is clear that the City will be developed and ultimately, that roadways will be improved, the Highway 5 program has the following goals: 1 • Identify environmentally sensitive areas and design protection strategies • Develop an overlay zoning district to ensure that when development does occur, it meets 1 the highest possible standards • Work with MnDot and other agencies to ensure that road impacts are minimized. In fact, I we are working to reduce right -of -way and grading requirements, minimize impacts on trees and wetlands, incorporate significant landscaping, etc. For example, we are working to utilize a bridge over Bluff Creek rather then a culvert, to preserve this recreational and natural feature III Chanhassen has also been an innovator in many other areas of interest. We are one of the few suburban communities with a strong and vital, pedestrian- oriented downtown. We have expended 111 considerable time and money in this area and invite you to visit. We are also working diligently with Southwest Metro Transit programs to reduce reliance on the automobile and are having excellent success. I I hope this letter has answered some of your questions. Please feel free to call or visit on your next trip to the Arboretum. We are proud of our City and like to have the opportunity to show I it off. Sincerely, 1 ti/ jos 400‘...... _ Donald J.
