Sandpiper Pipeline: Comparison of Environmental Effects of Reasonable Alternatives This document is made available electronically by the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library as part of an ongoing digital archiving project. http://www.leg.state.mn.us/lrl/lrl.asp Sandpiper Pipeline: Comparison of Environmental Effects of Reasonable Alternatives In the Matter of the Application of North Dakota Pipeline Company LLC for a Certificate of Need for the Sandpiper Pipeline Project in Minnesota Minnesota Public Utilities Commission Docket CN-13-473 Minnesota Department of Commerce Energy Environmental Review and Analysis | December 2014 Sandpiper Pipeline: Comparison of Environmental Effects of Reasonable Alternatives Abstract North Dakota Pipeline Company LLC (NDPC) is proposing to construct the Sandpiper Project, a 565 to 608-mile long pipeline and associated facilities from the Tioga, North Dakota, through Minnesota to Superior, Wisconsin. On November 8, 2013, NDPC filed two applications with the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (Commission): the first for a Certificate of Need (CN) and the second for a pipeline route permit for the project. The CN rules at Minn. R. 7853.0130 require, in determining if a certificate of need should be granted, that consideration be paid to the “natural and socioeconomic environments compared to the effects of reasonable alternatives,” and “the effect of the proposed facility, or a suitable modification of it, upon the natural and socioeconomic environments compared to the effect of not building the facility.” For the Sandpiper Project, the Commission concluded that an environmental analysis of six system alternatives, which were identified in the Route Permit docket, and six alternatives to the proposed project identified by NDPC in its CN application would provide it with valuable information to be weighed along with other information while making its need decision. This document is intended to provide that analysis. It is intended for the use of any party who chooses to advocate for or against consideration of an alternative in the certificate of need docket. This document, and all other documents related to the Sandpiper Project CN proceeding, is available on the Commission’s website at: http://mn.gov/puc/; select Search eDockets and enter the year (13) and docket number (473). The document is also available on Department of Commerce website at: http://mn.gov/commerce/energyfacilities/Docket.html?Id=33599.

  • Arthur Gray Leonard (North Dakota) Edward C
    Arthur Gray Leonard (North Dakota) Edward C. Murphy (North Dakota Geological Survey) Arthur Gray Leonard was born on March 15, 1865, in Clinton, N.Y. His father was a Congregational minister, which resulted in the family moving several times while Leonard was a boy. He graduated from Salt Lake Academy in Utah and from Oberlin College in 1889. Leonard returned to Oberlin College and obtained his master’s degree in 1895. He worked on and off for the Iowa Geological Survey between 1893 and 1903. The Iowa survey provided him with valuable field experience and training that he applied later in his career. He taught geology in Western Toledo, Iowa, during the winter months of 1894–96. In 1896, he became assistant state geologist of the Iowa Geological Survey. Shortly thereafter, he went to Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md., obtaining his Ph.D. in 1898. He returned to the Iowa Geological Survey as assistant state geologist and remained there until 1903, except for 1 year’s leave of absence to teach at the University of Missouri. Dr. Leonard became state geologist of North Dakota and a professor of geology at the University of North Dakota in 1903. North Dakota had become a state in 1889. The North Dakota Geological Survey was formed in 1895, and had been under the direction of two previous state geologists (Earle Babcock, 1895–1902; Frank Wilder, 1902–03) prior to Leonard. He was to hold that position until his death on December 17, 1932. Leonard’s 29-year tenure as North Dakota state geologist is the longest in state history, although Dr.

    Transportationtransportation City of Elmhurst Comprehensive Plan TransporTATion Elmhurst’s transportation system consists of an extensive roadway network, including direct access to Interstate High- ways I-290, I-294, and I-88, an extensive commuter rail and bus transit system, as well as a well-connected pedestrian and bike network. This transportation network allows for easy and accessible travel within the City and excellent con- nections to the surrounding metropolitan area. Elmhurst’s interstate highway and commuter rail access are among its strongest assets, making it a very desirable community for living and conducting business. Therefore, maintain- ing a well-functioning and efficient transportation system is critical to sustaining the high quality-of-life in the com- munity. A review of existing conditions, including average daily traffic and transit ridership history, formed the basis for the development of the transportation framework and functional street classification.

    DATE: March 20, 2018 TO: Board of Water and Soil Resources’ Members, Advisors, and Staff FROM: John Jaschke, Executive Director SUBJECT: BWSR Board Meeting Notice – March 28, 2018 The Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) will meet on Wednesday, March 28, 2018, beginning at 9:00 a.m. The meeting will be held in the lower level Board Room, at 520 Lafayette Road, Saint Paul. Parking is available in the lot directly in front of the building (see hooded parking area). The following information pertains to agenda items: COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS Water Management and Strategic Planning Committee One Watershed, One Plan Operating Procedures and Plan Content Requirements – The One Watershed, One Plan Operating Procedures and Plan Content Requirements are the two policy documents that describe program requirements according to Minnesota Statutes §103B.801. These documents, which were based on policies for the pilot program (developed in 2014), were updated in 2016 when the program was formally established. Since that time, BWSR’s Water Planning Program Team has identified a need to improve the organization and clarity of these documents, along with minor changes to policy elements. The team recommends re-formatting both documents with the new State of Minnesota logo and style. For both documents, the majority of non-policy information (background, context, and optional items) have been removed. DECISION Other changes include: • Policy o High level summary of changes (see the last page of each document for more detail) • Operating Procedures o Removed automatic exemption for LGUs with less than 5% of their area in the planning boundary o Added requirements for sharing public comments during the plan review and approval process • Plan Content Requirements o Land and Water Resources Inventory changed to Narrative; added requirement for discussion of watershed context o Fairly extensive wording changes in Plan Administration and Implementation Programs sections resulting in minor changes to policy elements.
