US • _ ... _. .....---� . ...... . . . . . . . . . ._. . . • Mr. Michael Darrow, Tnterim Community Development Director City of Roseville 2660 Civic Center Drive Roseville, MN 55113 RE: Procedural requirements for Twin Lakes AUAR update Dear Mr. Darrow: October 12, 2007 This letter is written in response to your request for an opinion from the EQB staffabout whether the procedures used by the City for the update of the Twin Lakes AUAR followed the procedural requirements of the EQB's rules. Specifically, you inquired about the procedures for public notice, citizen review, agency review and responses to comments. Your request makes reference to the document "Request for CounciI Action," dated October 8, 2007, available at the City's website. I have used that document as the source of my information about the City's procedures presuming that it is an accurate description of the actions taken by the City in the processing of the AUAR update. The EQB's rules specify the procedures for preparing, noticing, reviewing, and adopting an AUAR update at part 4410.3610, subpart 7, which references subpart 5, items D to H. Comparing the itemization of procedures used by the City for the AUAR update listed in the "Request for Comments" document with those provisions of the rules, it appears that the steps required by the EQB's rules begin at item #2.15. After examining the actions beginning with #2.15, I conclude that the actions listed comply with the requirements of the EQB's rules for preparing and reviewing an AUAR update, including the requirements for citizen review. I would like to clarify that you neither asked for EQB's opinion about the substance of the AUAR update, nor is the EQB staff offering any opinions about the substance of the AUAR or the City's decisions, including the responses ta comments. Our opinion expressed here is limited solely to compliance with procedural requirements. I hope this response meets your needs. If you have any questions about this response you should contact my colleague Jon Larsen as I will be on vacation from Octaber 15 through the 30`h. Jon can be reached at 651/201-2477 or at jon.larsen(cc�state.mn.us. Sincerely, L�l � Gregg Downing Environmental Review Coordinator 651/201-2476 � i�nesota . STA7E AMD CONAIUNITY SERV7CES �
