PUBLIC NOTICE FOR

CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION

FROM ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW

Individual Sewage

Treatment Systems

The purpose of this notice is to advise the public that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) staff has reviewed the proposed SRWD Watershed-Wide Groundwater Protection 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.

SRWD Watershed-Wide Groundwater Protection Project has applied for a loan under the Minnesota Water Pollution Control State Revolving Fund and is, therefore, subject to the State environmental review process. Individual sewage treatment system upgrades or replacements within this project will be in accordance with MN Rules ch. 7080, which provide the minimum standards and criteria for design, location, installation, use, and maintenance of individual sewage treatment systems.

If you have questions, comments, or desire additional information about the project, please contact Greg VanEeckhout at Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, 1800 College Road S., Baxter, MN 56425. Greg can also be reached by phone at (218) 316-3896. Comments must be received within two weeks of publication of this notice in order to be accepted. Users of Telecommunication Device for the Deaf, call (651) 282-5332.

Your interest in Minnesota’s environment is appreciated.
