Documentation should be provided. 9. Water use. • Given that the historical land use of the site was a farmstead and then a strawberry/raspberry farm, it is entirely possible that a water well (and an old septic system) may be located on the property. The Minnesota Department of Health should be contacted to determine if there are any records of a well having been located on the property or sealed. 11A. & 6. Geology, soils and topography/land forms. • The "Subsurface Geotechnical Investigation" should be summarized here to reflect the information requested in these sections. 12. Water resources. • There are several bodies of water and wetlands located in close proximity to the Project site. Langton Lake is located approximately 0.17 miles northeast of the site. There are wetlands located across Cleveland Avenue from the site, and a number of smaller lakes located within this wetland area. These should be described under this section. • Without knowing the site elevation, it is hard to determine what the groundwater depth is from grade. Given that there are wetlands located less than 150 feet from the site, it could be reasonable to assume groundwater is quite shallow. During construction, dewatering may be required. It may be necessary to obtain a Minnesota Department of Natural Resources water appropriation permit for this activity. Additionally, depending on the method for disposal of the water from the dewatering activity, it may be necessary to obtain an MPCA NPDES/SDS waste water permit if discharge is to a water body, wetland, or land surface. 12Bi. & Biii. Water resources. • The stormwater management plan should be summarized here to reflect the information requested in these sections. 12Bii. Water resources. • See number 12 above. 13A. Contamination/hazardous materials/wastes. • The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment completed for this Project states that contaminated soils and groundwater were encountered on the site in relation to releases from three underground storage tanks formally located at the site. Although both leak sites were granted regulatory closure by the MPCA, contaminated soil and/or groundwater may still be present at the site and encountered during construction. The information requested in this section should be included here. 13B. Contamination/hazardous materials/wastes. • This question addresses the generation/storage of solid wastes, rather than hazardous wastes. The Project will generate solid waste, especially during construction. The information requested in this section should be included here. 13C. & D. Contamination/hazardous materials/wastes. • Although the Project (either during construction or operation) will likely not generate significant amounts of hazardous wastes, there is a potential for environmental effects from an accidental spill or release of hazardous materials during construction. It should be determined whether
