Email from Leslie Parris (DNR) 12-23-2015�_j Ingvalson, Drew From: Parris, Leslie (DNR) <Leslie.Parris@state.mn.us> Sent: Wednesday, December 23, 2015 12:34 PM To: Ingvalson, Drew Cc: Skancke, Jennie (DNR); Mottl, Larissa (DNR); Harper, Liz (DNR); Doperalski, Melissa (DNR) Subject: RE: City of Chanhassen Agency Review Request for 825 Flying Cloud Drive - Golf Zone Request to allow Paintball Drew, Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the IUP application for paintball activities at the 825 Flying Cloud Drive site. The site is located adjacent to the Raguet State Wildlife Management Area (WMA), and the Minnesota Valley State Recreation Area which are considered Regionally Significant Ecological Areas of Outstanding Rank and are Minnesota Biological Survey Sites of High Biodiversity. These and other nearby sites include records of state -threatened species and include rare and protected features such as calcareous fens, karst features, a designated trout stream, public water wetlands and basins, and native plant communities. It is because of these features and designated areas that we offer the following comments and recommendations for permit conditions for your consideration. • The applicant states that only environmental friendly paintballs will be used at the facility. Due to the high potential for surface water and subsurface leeching to reach adjacent water bodies and other sensitive features, we recommend that this be included as a condition to the permit. • There is concern that although paintballs will be environmentally friendly, that overtime accumulation of materials may result iny' al or physical impacts to the surrounding sensitive features from surface runoff or subsurface leeching. If this does occur, the D would recommend the permit include a provision that the permit holder would be responsible for rectifying impacts. The DNR should be consulted with (or may contact the city) should impacts be observed. • The adjacent Raguet WMA is open to public hunting. This is in accordance with Minnesota Statutes. This right extends to the limits of the property boundary and therefore it should be known and communicated to paintball participants that hunting may be occurring directly adjacent to and during paintball activities. The hunting allowance for WMA actions will remain in place so it is important that the site be properly marked (use of signage) outlining boundaries so that paintball participants stay within their designated areas (this includes keeping paintball firing to within designated boundaries as well). Interference with WMA users should be discouraged. Paintball activities are not allowed on the WMA and the WMA shoulq not be used to access paintball designated areas. «n I ij ,� CCC "' Please let me know if you have any questions. 1 ���� V/r, Leslie Leslie Parris NR Specialist MN -DNR Division of Ecological & Water Resources 1200 Warner Road St. Paul, MN 55106 leslie.oarris0state.m n. us From: Ingvalson, Drew[mailto:DIngvalson@ci.chanhassen.mn.us] Sent: Monday, December 14, 2015 4:20 PM To: Parris, Leslie (DNR) Subject: RE: City of Chanhassen Agency Review Request for 825 Flying Cloud Drive - Golf Zone Request to allow Paintball Hi Leslie, I had the applicant submit a drawing that showed the location of the proposed paintball area and signage.
