'. ',.-~ 1450 West Highway 96 I Arden Hills, Minnesota 55112 RE: Ogren Townhomes I Dear Mr. Fritsinger: I Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the Ogren Townhome, to be built in the city of Arden Hills, Ramsey County. Based on the information contained in the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EA W), the Environmental Planning and Review Office Ie staff believes that significant environmental effects are not likely to occur as a result of the project. Therefore, the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) does not appear I warranted for Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA)-related issues. We do, however, have the following concerns: I 1. Regarding Item 8, a MPCA general storm water permit for construction activity was not listed. It should have been listed as a required permit. Based on the information in the EA W, namely that more than five acres will be disturbed, this permit is required. A permit I application packet is enclosed for your information. For questions regarding this permit please contact Dan Sullivan of the MPCA at 296-7219. I 2. The MPCA general storm water permit for construction activity requires that the contractor and project proposer use Best Management Practices (BMPs) to control erosion and sediment during construction (called a "Temporary and Erosion and Sediment Control Plan") as found I in Appendix A of the permit. These BMPs are then incorporated into the plans and specifications prior to the start of construction. The specifics of these requirements are I spelled out in the general permit found in the permit application packet. " Since more than one acre of impervious surface is being added a "Permanent Erosion and ~. I Sediment Control Plan" must be prepared by the project proposer. This is described further in Appendix B of the general storm water permit. ..
