C:The design for stormwater runoff has been discussed with the City of Arden Hills in terms of available capacity now and for future rainfall events, such as the expected increase in the 100-year 24-hour storm even rainfall. The storm sewer system serving the project area has capacity for future climatic events.The project will meet Rice Creek Watershed District rules for rate, floodplain elevation, and water quality. The District is adopting the revised National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration’s Atlas-14 standards for storm design intensity, duration, and frequency. The Rice Creek remeander portion of the project will increase floodplain volume. Multiple ponds, vegetative filters, and wetland mitigation areas will treat runoff water quality equivalent to a 95% treatment volume criterion. D:The preparation of a Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is not a requirement of the AUAR process.The City of Arden Hills appreciates the Minnesota Department of Health bringing forward through a comment on the Draft AUAR the importance of preparing an HIA for major infrastructure projects. E:Connections between uses and to surrounding amenities have been incorporated into the project. The spine road through the development will have a trail on one side and a sidewalk on the other, and there will be a supportive network of city streets to provide access to neighborhoods and businesses. Also, as discussed in Section 9 of the AUAR, a 150 foot corridor will beadded toestablished to provide a trail/prairie connection from County Road I to Highway 96. June 2014A-4
