FRANKFORT TOWNSHIP WRIGHT COUNTY MINNESOTA. Dear Mr. Roessler, This letter is a follow-up to the letter dated February 15, 1996. The LGU has decided to allow the final proposed project which includes all changes identified on the final plat and mitigation plans dated 4-26- 96. Approval of the project is subject to the following conditions. 1. Construction of the Sedimentation Ponds must be completed prior to any other construction activity. 2.. A nwnber of platted lots abut wetlands. These wetland areas as identified on the plat must be protected with a conservation easement identifying the wetland areas, and stating that the wetlands are protected under the 1991 Wetland Conservation Act. To assure the wetlands integrity a grass buffer with a conservation easement must also be developed. The buffer must be a minimwn 16 feet wide and the easement should protect against alteration of the vegetation. The buffer should be clearly identified and prior to any lots being sold. Potential homeowners must be made aware of their obligations to protect both the wetlands and the buffers strips. 3. The proposed replacement wetland must be excavated 6-12" below proposed grade. Any wetland soils excavated from adjacent wetlands on the property should then be spread 6-12" deep in the basin bottom to assure a viable seed source exists for establishment of wetland vegetation. 4. Water from tlle adjacent ditch could be routed in a manner that would flow into the proposed replacement wetland and an overflow pipe could be established which would produce a permanent pool of 3.5 to 4 feet deep. This type of system would create a flow through type of wetland which would closely resemble what originally occurred. Also a pipe or other outlet control could be designed to increase the residence time, which would allow the wetland to hold more water and distribute it over a longer period of time, thus decreasing the pressure to the ditch. 5. The excavated replacement wetland area must be graded to blend with existing natural contours and must feature gradual slopes and irregular shoreline to ensure a functional wetland edge. 6. Newly graded slopes within the proposed wetland replacement area must be 5: 1 (horizontal to vertical) or flatter to reducecthe. potential for erosion and encourage slope stabilization. 7. All graded..area must be seeded in a timely manner and if possible must be ~eeded within 10 days after final grading has occurred. . . ). 8. The replacement wetland must be protec\ed with a permanent easement (see enclosures Form A-AI for example). Once this is accomplished a copy of the easement must be submitted to this office to be placed in the file. Please keep in mind if this is not done the certificate of compliance is null and void. I have enclosed a copy of a WETLAND CONSERVATION ACT Certificate of Compliance this form must be signed and returned to our office. Upon receiving a copy of the signed form we will then make a copy of the Certificate for our files and return your copy which you should keep on-site when the work is being done. Please be advised this permit is not valid until 30 days have passed from the date you receive this notice. Please feel free to contact me If you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter.

DESCRIPTION This Project consists of developing residential and business property on a 70 acre parcel of property in the City of Albertville, Minnesota (the "Project"). The planned residential development consists of 89 single family lots with a typical size of 12,500 square feet, and the planned business area consists of two lots with a total area of approximately 11 acres. The remainder of the property, approximately 15 acres, consists of parks and wetland areas. The City of Albertville is included in the Joint Powers Water Board System along with the cities of Hanover, St. Michael, and Frankfort Township. Domestic water and fire protection service will be provided to the Project by the Joint Powers Board Water System. Albertville recently upgraded its municipal wastewater treatment facility, and the wastewater from the Project will be treated at the upgraded facility through an extension of Albertville's sanitary sewer collection system. The sanitary sewer main line installed through the Project will be designed to accommodate the wastewater flow from adjacent properties to the southwest in Albertville that are expected to be developed in the future and for which sanitary sewer service will be required. It is estimated that 360 acres to the southwest of the Project will ultimately be serviced with sanitary sewer from the main lines within the Project. The timing, extent, and type of residential development of the land area to the southwest of the Project is not known. However, the utilities within the Project will be designed so that subsequent extensions to the southwest can be accomplished. Construction activities for developing the Project include typical earthwork operations as necessary for grading of streets, installation of piping for extension of the municipal water and sanitary sewer systems, and minor earthwork operations for the development. MPCA approved erosion control methods such as silt fencing will be used to mitigate potential erosion onto adjacent properties or into drainage ways or wetlands. The timing and duration of the construction is not established. The proposer desires to commence development of the area as expeditiously as possible. The rate of development of the Project is dependent upon timing of approvals as well as the rate at which housing is needed. . . 9. LAND USE The majority of the existing land use is agriculture, with portions of the property existing as wetlands. The estimated acreage of cover types before and after development are identified in the following section. Adjacent land uses include residential, agricultural, and commercial. The proposed development is adjacent to a recently constructed residential development within the city of Albertville. See Map "D". The Project is compatible with adjacent and nearby land uses which consists of recent residential expansions of the city of Albertville. Because adjacent land uses are consistent with the proposed Project, no environmentally negative impacts are anticipated. The majority of the 360 acres to the southwest of the Project are also primarily agricultural with portions of the property existing as wetlands. Future residential development of the acreage to the southwest of the Project is compatible with adjacent and nearby land uses because it abuts the northerly boundary of the city of St. Michael which currently consists of agriculture and residential developments. Also, the Albertville-St. Michael High School is located due east of the future residential development south of the Project. Thus, existing land uses are compatible with the Project and surrounding areas. The rate of future development is unknown. In addition, no preliminary plans have been submitted for review. There are no known past land uses that would contribute to present environmental concerns in the Project. . . 11. FISH. WILDLIFE. AND ECOLOGICALLY SENSITIVE RESOURCES (a) & (b) The DNR has determined, as described in the attached letter, that there are no known occurrences of rare species or natural features in an approximate one mile radius of the Project. There are no fish resources on or near the site that could be affected by the Project. The existing land area of the Project will be developed to include only those areas that are currently used for agricultural purposes. The wetland areas, with the exception of approximately 15,000 square feet proposed for street crossings, will not be disturbed by the Project. . 7" .... .~ ........:..."..:..::" . ~ ._.....:... e..;'" .t. .; ::"7" . 9 / ~ STATE.F ~[N]~~@Lr~ DEPARTMENT OF .

T- DHR IHFORMA TIOH (612) 296-6157 April 6, 1995 Ronald Geurts, Engineer Meyer-Roblin, Inc. 1111 Hwy. 2S North Buffalo, MN 55313 Re: Residential development, T120N R24W section 2, T121N R24W section 35, Wright County File #94236 . Dear Mr. Geurts: The Minnesota Natural HeritagC! database has been reviewed to determine if any rare plant or animal ~ecies or"otlier significant natural features are known to occur within an approximate one- mile radIUS of the above referenced project. Based on this review, there are no known occurrences of rare species or natural features in the area searched. The Natnral Heritage database is maintained by the Natural Heritage Program and the Nongame Wildlife Program, units within the Section of WIldlife, Department of Natural Resources. It is the most complete source of data on M'mnesota's rare, endangered, or otherwise significant plant and animal. species, plant communities, and other natural features, and is used in fostering better understanding and protection of these rare features. The information in the database is drawn from many parts' of M'mnesota, and is constantly being updated, but it is not based on a comprehensive survey of the state. Therefore, there are currently many significant natural features present in the state which are not represented by the database. We are in the process of addressing this via the Minnesota County Biological Survey, a county--by-county inventory of rare natural features, which is now underway. However, Wright County has not yet been surveyed. Because there has not been an on-site survey of the biological resources of the project area, it is possible that ecologically significant features exist for which we have DO record. Thank you for consulting us on this matter, and for your interest in minimh.iTlg iinpacts on M'mnesota's rare resources. Please be aware that review by the Natural Heritage and Nongame Research Program focuses only on rare natural features. It does DOt constitute review'or approval by the Dep3rtment 'of Natural Resources ~ ~ v:hcle. An invoice for the work completed will be forthcoming.

PHYSICAL IMPACTS ON WATER RESOURCES Physical or hydrologic alteration of surface waters outside the Project area will not occur. Development of the residential area within the Project will be consistent with the existing wetlands and wetland regulations. Outflow of stormwaters to downstream water courses will be controlled and will be discussed in the section of Wa.ter Quality-Surface Water Runoff. Stormwater detention (sedimentation) ponds will be constructed that will control the stormwater outflow rates. This will also benefit water quality. The location and size of these facilities and the overall stormwater control for the Project will be discussed in the Water Quality-Surface Water Runoff section to this Environmental Assessment Worksheet. . . 13. WATER USE (a) The abandonment of an existing well for the single farmstead located on the property is expected. Upon available information and belief, this well does not have a unique well number. This well will be abandoned and sealed in accordance with Minnesota Department of Health Requirements. See Map "e" for a location of the existing farmstead and well. (b) Appropriation of ground or surface waters is not anticipated during construction. The sole exception to the absence of ground water appropriation is if minimal dewatering of perched water is required for installation of the sanitary sewer collection system. The determination of whether any dewatering is even needed, or to the extent it may be needed, is dependent on whether water bearing seams are encountered during installation of the utilities. Dewatering during construction, if any, should not affect groundwater conditions, but will only affect perched water during the period of construction. (c) The Project will receive water for domestic and fire protection purposes from the Joint Powers Board system for Albertville, St. Michael, Hanover and Frankfort Township. The DNR Water Appropriate Permit Number for the supply is 146359 and 455787. Estimated daily water consumption for the Project upon its completion is approximately 31,000 gallons per day assuming typical rates (100 gcd) for water consumption. . . 17. EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION Grading of streets within the Project will be performed. Because the topography in the proposed residential areas is relatively flat, only minimal cutting and filling will be required for establishing street grades. See Map "c" for contours. Grading outside of street right-of-ways will be performed as necessary. The developer's intent is to perform as little grading as possible for the Project and to perform only that grading which is necessary for home construction and drainage purposes. Erosion control by the use of silt fences will be used to preclude erosion into downstream water ways or wetland areas. The Project does not contain steep slopes that will require additional erosion control measures. All erosion control during construction will be performed in accordance with the City and MPCA's requirements that include the measures identified above. Sedimentation ponds will be in place after construction that will serve as detention ponds for stormwater purposes as well as sedimentation basins for stormwater runoff prior to stormwater entering the existing wetlands and County Ditch No.9. The sedimentation basins and stormwater runoff will be further discussed in the following section. . . , 18. WATER QUALITY - SURFACE WATER RUNOFF (a) & (b) The quantity of runoff from the developed Project will not increase the rate of discharge to downstream water courses nor will the quality of stormwater be adversely affected. This estimate is based on standard runoff parameters for the soil cover conditions that presently exist on the property, and the soil cover conditions and impervious areas that are expected to exist at the time the Project is fully completed. The quality of stormwater runoff is expected to improve during and afte:r construction due to the installation of sedimentation ponds. The stormwater from the Project will ultimately discharge into County Ditch No. 9 (see Map "c" ) that is located on the west edge of the Project and flows to the south and empties into the Crow River. Prior to stormwater entering County Ditch No.9, the majority of stormwater from the Project will enter one of three sedimentation ponds prior to overflowing to existing wetland areas that drain to County Ditch No.9. Thus, stormwater from the Project will be used to provide a source of water to existing wetlands. None of the stormwater from the Project is discharged into lakes or protected streams of high water quality. The rate of stormwater discharge to County Ditch No. 9 will be controlled by the three sedimentation/detention ponds that will store runoff during storm events and then release stormwater to the existing wetlands at controlled rates. Thus, the rate of flow of stormwater to County Ditch No. 9 will not be increased as a result of the Project. Stormwater from the Project enters the sedimentation ponds through storm sewer piping and overland flow. See Map "c" for the sedimentation pond locations and storm sewer piping. Regarding stormwater quality, the Project will not degrade stormwater quality when compared to existing conditions. At the present time, a substantial percentage of the existing a:rea is utilized for crops and agricultural purposes. As such, runoff from the existing agricultural property contains typical nutrients such as phosphorous and nitrogen that exists in fertilizers and agricultural waste. Runoff from the existing property also contains silt from erosion of crop land. Runoff from the completed Project may contain some nutrients from lawn fertilizers and contain some soil that may wash off streets into the storm sewe:r system. The sedimentation ponds in the Project will, however, provide a mechanism for sedimentation of soils and other foreign materials prior to the stormwater flowing into the existing wetlands. Thus, settleable solids discharged to the wetland areas should be reduced by construction of the Project. Therefore, the long term quality of stormwater runoff to County Ditch No. 9 is expected to be improved. . . 19. WATER QUALITY - WASTEWATERS (a) The residential area of the Project will generate approximately 22,500 gallons of domestic wastewater per day based on an average of 2.5 persons per residential living unit and a flow rate of 100 gallons per capita per day. Based on an estimated wastewater flow of 500 gallons per acre per day for the two lots zoned as B-3, a wastewater flow of 6500 gallons per day is obtained. The wastewater generated by the Project will be from domestic and business sources with no industrial contributions. The developable land to the southwest is expected to generate similar residential flows once developed. (b) and (c) Albertville has recently upgraded and expanded its wastewater treatment facility. All necessary hearings were conducted and permits and approvals obtained from the MPCA for the recent upgrade and expansion of the Albertville wastewater treatment system. The wastewater treatment facility as it currently exists consists of a pond system that provides secondary treatment prior to tertiary treatment to remove phosphorous before discharge to Mud Lake. The organic treatment capability of the facility can be expanded by incorporation of air, if needed, into the pond treatment system. The existing wastewater treatment facility, as recently upgraded and expanded, is designed to treat 315,000 gallons per day with a CBOD loading of 368 pounds per day. Existing flows to the wastewater treatment facility average approximately 157,000 gallons per day (gpd) over a 12 month time period (September 1994 to August 1995). Higher than average flows occur during April and May averaging 174,000 gpd. Therefore, excess capacity of approximately 158,000 gpd currently exist throughout the year without any modification to the existing wastewater treatment facility. Thus, at the present time, the Albertville wastewater treatment facility has the capability to accept and treat all wastewater from the Project. The wastewater treatment facility is designed in such a manner that it can easily be modified to treat significantly higher flows and organic loadings. It is estimated that the wastewater treatment facility can be increased to treat an average daily flow of 1,373,000 gallons per day with a CBOD loading of 2,380 pounds per day with modifications to meet higher standards. These designs are on file with the MPCA for the original treatment facility permit. Thus, Albertville's wastewater treatment facility has the capability to be easily modified for future wastewater flows and loadings from areas outside the Project. . . 20. GROUNDWATER-POTENTIAL FOR CONTAMINATION (b) The potential for groundwater contamination is not a concern. The property to be developed does not contain any special geologic/land form features that would be of a special concern regarding potential groundwater contamination. Further, the development is primarily residential, with a small portion zoned as business, that will be totally serviced by Albertville's municipal wastewater collection system. An existing domestic well on the Project will be abandoned and sealed in accordance with applicable requirements and Minnesota Rules. (c) Because the Project is residential, with a small portion zoned as business, no toxic or hazardous materials will be generated from the Project. . . 21. SOLID WASTE: HAZARDOUS WASTE; STORAGE TANKS (a) Because the project is a residential development with two business lots adjacent to County Highway No. 19, no hazardous wastes will be generated from the Project. Municipal waste will be generated from the Project and this waste will be collected and either disposed of or recycled in accordance with the contracts that the City of Albertville has for garbage pick-up and recycling. Construction of the Project will generate waste that is typical of residential home construction. Solid waste from these construction activities will be disposed of in accordance with applicable requirements. The exact location of disposal of construction materials is not known. (b) No permanent above or below ground tanks used for the storage of petroleum products or other materials (except water) are expected to exist after construction of the Project. During construction of the Project, it is expected that mobile fuel tanks will be on the property for the purpose of providing fuel for construction equipment. . . 25. DUST: ODORS: NOISE During construction of the project dust may be generated as a result of grading, utility installation and street construction. The significance of .any dust will be minimal and can be mitigated by the use of water trucks, if needed, during construction of the streets. Once the streets are paved, dust should not be a factor. The City requires that the streets be paved prior to occupancy. Therefore, dust generation should not be an issue after street paving is complete. Further, park acreage, open areas, and County Hwy. No. 19 are directly adjacent to the project that provide buffer areas during construction. Strong or potential odors will not exist during construction or after project completion. Noise generation will be typical of that for grading, utility installation, street construction, and home building. Major noise sources such as blasting will not occur. Especially sensitive receptors such as hospitals, etc., are not located in the vicinity of the project. . . 30. RELATED DEVELOPMENT: CUMULATIVE IMPACTS (a) It is anticipated that the area to the southwest of the Project that is located in Albertville (approximately 360 acres of developable land) will someday be developed for residential use. The timing of this potential development and how it may be staged is not known. The potential for development of this area is being considered at this time so that utility extensions into the Project can be designed to accommodate future development to the southwest. (b) This Project is not a subsequent phase of an earlier project. (c) Development of adjacent land may occur. See response to 30(a) above. (d) Because the remaining area to the southwest in Albertville is relatively small, cumulative environmental impact of this Project and all future stages to the southwest, even if full residential development occurs, is negligible. The existing utilities can accommodate future development, and a major county highway runs adjacent to the property which will adequately serve the Project and future stages, if developed. Future development in Albertville to the southwest of the Project will simply abut against the northerly city limits of St. Michael which currently consists of residential development.

MAP D-1 / WRIGHT SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT 306C Brighton Avenue Buffalo, Minnesota 55313 Telephone (612) 682-1933 682-1970 February 15, 1996 Kent Roessler Kenco Construction Inc. 13763 Johnson Street NE Ham Lake MN 55304 RE: PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT PARK SIDE THIRD ADDITION LOCATED, PART OF NE1/4 SECTION 2 T.120N.-R24W. FRANKFORT TOWNSHIP WRIGHT COUNTY MINNESOTA. Dear Mr. Roessler, This letter is to inform you of the decision reached by the Local Governing Unit (LGU) in regards to the above mentioned project. The LGU has decided to allow the final proposed project which excludes the impact, due to stubbing of 55th St. NE which was initially proposed. The approval of the project is subject to the following conditions. 1. Construction of the Sedimentation Ponds must be completed prior to any other construction activity: 2. A number of platted lots abut wetlands. These wetland areas as identified on the plat must be protected with a conservation easement identifying the wetland areas, and stating that the wetlands are protected under the 1991 Wetland Conservation Act. To assure the wetlands integrity a grass buffer witll a conservation easement must also be developed. The buffer must be a minimwn 16 feet wide and the easement should protect against alteration of the vegetation. The buffer should be clearly identified and prior to any lots being sold. Potential homeowners must be made aware of their obligations to protect both the wetlands and the buffers strips. 3. The proposed replacement wetland must be excavated 6-12" below proposed grade. Any wetland soils excavated from adjacent wetlands on the property should then be spread 6-12" deep in the basin bottom to assure a viable seed source exists for establishment of wetland vegetation. 4. Water from the adjacent ditch could be routed in a manner that would flow into tlle proposed replacement wetland and an overflow pipe could be established which would produce a permanent pool of 3.5 to 4 feet deep. This type of system would create a flow through type of wetland which would closely resemble what originally occurred. Also a pipe or other outlet control could be designed to increase the residence time, which would allow the wetland to hold more water and distribute it over a longer period of time, thus decreasing the pressure to the ditch. 5. The excavated replacement wetland area must be graded to blend with existing natural contours and must feature gradual slopes and irregular shoreline to ensure a functional wetland edge. 6. Newly graded slopes within the proposed wetland replacement area must be 5: 1 (horizontal to vertical) or flatter to reduce the potential for erosion and encourage slope stabilization. 7. All graded area must be seeded in a timely manner and if possible must be seeded within 10 days after final grading has occurred. ""\ 8. The replacement wetland !!Y!lbeprotected with a permanent easement (see enclosures Form A-AI for example). Once this is accomplished a copy of the easement must be submitted to this office to be placed in the tile. Please keep in mind if this is not done the certificate of compliance is null and void I have enclosed a copy of a WETLAND CONSERV AnON Acr Certificate o/Compliance this form must be signed and returned to our office. Upon receiving a copy of the signed form we will then make a copy of the Certificate for our tiles and return your copy which you should keep on-site when the work is being done. Please be advised this permit is not valid until 30 days have passed from the date you receive this notice. Please feel free to contact me If you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter. Sincerely, ,A-{c:.-< Ae.'l~~'" Mark McNamara Resource Conservationist Wright SWCD. cc: Garrison Hale City Administrator / Bob Rholin Engineer encl:
