e - - If material is unearthed during site preparation and appears to be of significant historic and/or of cultural value, Ramsey County will contact the State Historic Preservation Office. If solid waste material is unearthed during site preparation and is found to be non- hazardous to human health and the environment and if that material does not have significant historical or cultural value, the waste would be properly disposed of in an approved off-site landfill. If the existing ditches with wetland characteristics are impacted by construction, Ramsey County will follow the rules and regulations imposed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the State of Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act, the Rice Creek Watershed District, and the City of Arden Hills with respect to the avoidance. minimization and replacement of wetlands impacted by construction. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service stated in an August 8, 2000 letter (Attachment H) that it has no objection to the land transfer. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) also responded to the proposed action on July 6, 2001 (Attachment J). All salt and salt/sand on the site will be stored within buildings, and therefore will not impact stormwater. Hazardous material storage will be indoors with secondary containment. Vehicle maintenance will also be indoors with provision for spill containment. Treatment of stormwater runoff from the maintenance facility site will be provided in a storm water pond located in the southeast corner of the project that is to be constructed in 2003-4 as part of the Highway 96 reconstruction project. The pond is to be designed meeting National Urban Runoff Program and NPDES standards. As previously mentioned the Rice Creek Watershed District has jurisdiction and permit authority for this area. It is assumed that the District's authority would be used to mitigate impacts related to runoff. (See Section 4.10.2.3) 4.2 Land Use 4.2.1 No Action Under the no action alternative, The Army would retain control of the property. Land use impacts would remain consistent with the overall operation at TCAAP with no change in overall acreage. . 4.2.2 Proposed Action The proposed action is consistent with the Vento Reuse Committee Plan. In the Vento Plan, the present maintenance facility is described as less than adequate to serve the needs of the community over the long term. The proposed County maintenance facility is proposed to be a joint maintenance facility with the City of Arden Hills and the U.S. Army National Guard, with office space for Moundsview Public Schools District 621, the Ramsey County Library Department, Ramsey County Sheriffs Department, and the Ramsey County Soil and Water Conservation District.
