assess the noise situation and take the action deemed necessary to minimize the impact of any highway noise.

Response: Comment noted. Pl'iyllis .�Iarisar�, Metropolitan Cou�zcil, September 25,2007: Met Council Comment 1: Item 6—Project Description. The document appears to iraclud� an inconsistency between the text on pages S and 6. The last paragraph on page S indicates that "several parcels within the AUAR boundary have already been redeveloped". Bullet 1 on page 6 indicates that no redevelopment has occurred with the AUAR area since the adoption of the Final AUAR. Tf bath statements are correct, the former should clarify that the redevelopment that has already taken place prior to adoption of the Final AUAR (as similarly noted in the text on the bottom of pages 9 and 17). Response: This comment is correct and is the result of unclear language. The original statement on page 5 should be amended to read "several parcels within the AUAR boundary have already been redeveloped prior to the adoption of the Final AUAR in 2001."
