Prepared by: Bolton & Menk, Inc. RIGHT-OF-WAY, EASEMENTS, AND PERMITS 2026 PMP Street & Utility Improvements ǀ 25X.137753 Page 16 may be necessary to construct the project. For various work items, minor encroachment onto private property may be beneficial in order to achieve a better overall quality of work. It is assumed that project staff will discuss these with property owners and obtain right-of-entries on a case-by-case basis. These items include water service and curb box installation, sanitary service installation, retaining wall installation, and driveway connections. This will be evaluated in detail towards the end of the final design process to identify any temporary easement or right-of-entry needs, particularly as it relates to the work beyond the roadways. The project area is within the jurisdiction of the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) and therefore requires compliance with their rules and regulations. A meeting was held with RCWD staff on May 29th, 2025 to understand how their rules and regulations apply to the proposed project. The project falls under the Public Linear Project category for Stormwater Management rules and therefore stormwater management is not required unless the project disturbs one acre or more of new or reconstructed impervious surface’s underlying native soils. Being that the project is primarily a rehabilitation project and plans to leave the existing base pavement, aggregate base, and/or reclamation material in place, the disturbance to underlying native soils where impervious surface is proposed is currently calculated to be under the one-acre threshold and stormwater management permitting is not anticipated. An Erosion & Sediment Control Plan permit will be required through the RCWD associated with the project’s erosion control plan. A wetland delineation was conducted during the spring of 2025 to identify the wetlands surrounding the proposed improvements and submitted to the appropriate agencies for concurrence of wetland types and boundaries. Permitting associated with anticipated wetland impacts will be submitted to the appropriate agencies for approval at the conclusion of final design and is expected to meet the conditions for a temporary impact permit associated with the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) requirements. Karth Lake is identified as a Public Water and therefore additional permitting is required for the dewatering of Karth Lake associated with the accumulated sediment removal work, if approved. This will require, at a minimum, a Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MnDNR) Public Waters Work Permit. Additionally, existing, adjacent wetlands have potential additional associated permitting needs related to the accumulated sediment removal work, if approved. It is recommended the project’s final design scope be modified to complete the necessary topographic surveys and wetland delineations to move forward with the proposed backyard storm sewer improvement work, if approved for final design. • MPCA Construction Stormwater Permit • MDH Public Watermain Plan Review Permit • Ramsey County ROW Permit • RCWD Erosion & Sediment Control Permit (Rule D) • RCWD Floodplain Alteration Permit (Rule E) • RCWD Appropriation of Public Waters (Rule J) • WCA Permits & RCWD Wetland Alteration (Rule F) • MnDNR Public Waters Work Permit o Including confirmation of any adjustments to the city’s existing permit for pumping operations due to adjusting the OHWL DRAFT
