Right-of-Way The project is likely to require non-significant permanent right of way acquisition, permanent and/or temporary easements, minor changes to access, no relocations, and a low risk of hazardous materials involvement. The project will require approximately: 1.25 acres of permanent trail easements from 17 parcels, and 0.9 acres of temporary easements from 15 parcels, The project will not require residential or business relocations. The project will not require changes in access. Hazardous Materials There is a potential for impacts from contaminated properties along Main Street (CSAH 14). The City has encountered contaminated soils during a previous road reconstruction project on Main Street (CSAH 14). This trail project will have minimal grading and therefore has less potential for encountering contaminated materials. The City is developing a Development Response Action Plan, to be used if any potentially contaminated materials are encountered during construction. The plan ensures that any contaminated soils that are encountered will be handled and treated in accordance with applicable state and federal regulations. Farmland Protection Policy Act The project will not impact farmland. Wetland Protection The project may impact 6 wetland basins, with a total impacted area of approximately 16,100 SF or 0.37 Acres. The basins include one type 2 (wet meadow), two type 3 (shallow marsh), one 2/6 (wet meadow and shrub-carr), one 2/3 (wet meadow and shallow marsh complex) and one 1/2 (ditched wet meadow). Impacts will be minimized during final design where possible through alignment shifting and tightening of slopes from 4:1 to 3:1. The wetland encroachment is non-significant. A delineation was performed for wetlands within the project area and has been approved by Rice Creek Watershed. A permit will be submitted later in the design phase of the project when the impacts can be more accurately determined. The provisions of Executive Order 11990 have been complied with. A wetland assessment and two-part finding is attached in Appendix C. Section 404 Of The Clean Water Act The project will involve placement of fill into waters of the U.S. The project will be covered by a Section 404 Permit:
