We strongly support the threshold of 10 acres for <br />public road projects and support GP-17. <br />We have learned other agencies are trying to limit the acreage threshold. There is no <br />need fora 3 acre threshold, as compliance with WCA is required, including sequencing <br />requirements, in order to be covered by this permit. Additionally, there are numerous <br />safeguards incorporated into the permit process which will catch any project which may <br />have adverse effects. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment on GP-17. If you have any questions please <br />call me at 490-4686. <br />Sincerely, <br />Todd Howard, PE <br />Assistant City Engineer <br />CITY OF SHOREVIEW ~~ <br />l~~~ <br />
