Upon completion of final horizontal and vertical alignments and cross sections, exact wetland impacts will be determined. 7.3 Historical, Archaeological, and Architectural Cultural Resources State legislation requires governmental agencies to consider their impacts to historic and archaeological resources before undertaking a project. The Minnesota Historic Sites Act and the Minnesota Field Archaeology Act require that governmental agencies have a responsibility to protect the physical features and historic character of properties designated for, or listed on, the National Register of Historic Places, State Historic Site Network, or archaeological sites on non- federal public lands. Governmental agencies must consult with the Minnesota Historical Society to determine if any such properties exist within a project area, and the appropriate treatment for those properties, should they be effected. Ramsey County hired a consultant to perform a Phase II National Register study of the August Lepak House (also known as the Art Larson house) located at 1170 County Road I. The property was found to be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places as an important and well- preserved Minnesota farmhouse type. The house was built in 1896 and constructed with Chaska brick, chosen for its durability and cream color. Few intact farmhouse built in the 1890s have survived. Among the surviving houses, the Lepak house rates high in terms of material integrity. The study determined that there is either no effect or no adverse effect of the County Road I project on the Lepak house since the setting is not critical to the eligibility of the house. Since the study was conducted the road alignment has been moved further away from the house. The City of Shoreview owns the Lepak property and is preserving the home and grounds as a historic site. 7.4 Right of Way Permanent right of way will be acquired for roadway construction on 4 properties. Permanent right of way will also need to be acquired for pond construction. Temporary right of way will also be acquired for the construction of the roadway. 7.5 Air Quality . An Indirect Source Permit is not required from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency because average annual daily traffic (ADT) volumes will not increase by 10,000 or more vehicles per day within ten years after completion of the modification project. 7.6 Noise The proposed highway project is not on a new location, is not a significant change in horizontal or vertical alignment, and will not increase the number of through lanes, therefore "l!I~!>.
