Commissioner Monson supported this recommendation. <br />Commissioner Jebens-Singh explained this property was part of a larger watershed district and <br />asked if this project was being considered within a broader plan. Mr. Bosman reported there is <br />a comprehensive stormwater management plan (CSMP) that was completed for Rice Creek <br />Commons and noted he would continue to coordinate with the Rice Creek Watershed District. <br />Mr. Bosman reviewed the location of potential environmental/protected species noting he <br />would continue to work through this process with the proper regulatory agencies. He <br />commented further on the regulatory agencies that he was having to coordinate with for this <br />project which included the US Army, MPCA/EPA, DNR and the Rice Creek Watershed District. <br />Mr. Mazzitello reported all of the individuals within these agencies has been very cooperative <br />and support the Rice Creek Commons development moving forward. <br />Commissioner McGuire requested further information regarding the PFA’s testing. Ms. <br />____________ discussed the PFA’s testing that would be required going forward by the EPA <br />given that this was former US Army property. She reported screening would begin this fall and <br />test results would be available early next year. <br />Chair Wicklund questioned what the biggest miss was within the plans at this time. Mr. <br />Mazzitello stated the biggest lift within this project was the relocation of the TGRS system. <br />Chair Wicklund inquired if there were any items within the plan that should be amended now <br />before this project moves forward. Mr. Bosman commented he did not have any <br />recommendations at this time. He indicated coordinating with the Army on the TGRS system <br />was the only hold up at this time. <br />b.
