Public Notice for categorical exclusion for environmental review

The purpose of this notice is to advise the public that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency staff has reviewed the proposed CLWSD Management and Expansion Program project and has determined that the preparation of an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) is not mandatory. A preliminary determination has been made that no significant environmental impacts are anticipated.

The CLWSD Management and Expansion Program project has applied for a loan under the Minnesota Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund and is, therefore, subject to the State environmental review process. Subsurface sewage treatment system upgrades or replacements within this project will be in accordance with Minn. R. ch. 7080, which provide the minimum standards and criteria for design, location, installation, use, and maintenance of subsurface sewage treatment systems.

If you have questions, comments, or desire additional information about the project, please contact MPCA Project Manager Amy Mustonen at Minnesota Pollution Control Agency 525 Lake Ave. S., Suite 400 Duluth, MN 55802. Amy Mustonen can also be reached by phone 218.302.6638. Comments must be received within two weeks of publication of this notice in order to be accepted. Use your preferred relay service.

Your interest in Minnesota’s environment is appreciated.
