Dakota County – Greenway, Segment Project Findings of Fact and Conclusions Page ii July 2021 1.0 STATEMENT OF ISSUE Dakota County, in partnership with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MnDNR), is proposing to construct approximately 3.7 miles of the Minnesota River Greenway, from the existing trailhead near the Trunk Highway 77 (Cedar Avenue) Bridge in Burnsville to the existing trailhead at CSAH 26 (Lone Oak Road) in Eagan (see project location map in Appendix A). The proposed trail corridor is primarily located in Eagan within an unimproved area of Fort Snelling State Park, south of the Minnesota River and within the Minnesota River floodplain. The trail will consist of a 10-foot wide paved surface with two-foot vegetated shoulders. Portions of the trail will be located on raised boardwalks. A new pedestrian bridge over the Union Pacific Railroad track will be constructed.

Preparation of an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) is required for this project under Minnesota Rules 4410.4300, subpart 27, item B, for projects that will cause an impact to a total of one acre or more of wetlands. Dakota County is the project proposer. Dakota County also is the Responsible Governmental Unit (RGU) for review of this project, as per Minnesota Rules 4410.4300, subpart 27, item B.

Dakota County’s decision in this matter shall be either a negative or a positive declaration of the need for an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). Dakota County must order an EIS for the project if it determines the project has the potential for significant environmental effects.

Based upon the information in the record, which comprises the EAW form for the project, related studies referenced in the EAW, written comments received, responses to the comments, and other supporting documents included in this Findings of Fact and Conclusions document, Dakota County has made Findings of Fact and Conclusions that are detailed in Section 6. 2.0 ADMINISTRATIVE BACKGROUND Dakota County is the RGU and project proposer for the Dakota County – Minnesota River Greenway, Fort Snelling State Park Segment Project. A State EAW has been prepared for this project in accordance with Minnesota Rules Chapter 4410. The EAW was developed to assess the impacts of the project and other circumstances to determine if an EIS is needed.

The EAW was filed with the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board (EQB) and circulated for review and comment to the required EAW distribution list. A “Notice of Availability” was published in the EQB Monitor on June 8, 2021. Dakota County distributed a news release to local media outlets. The news release was published on the Dakota County web page at www.co.dakota.mn.us/News/Pages/greenway-project-available-for-review.aspx. Appendix B of this Findings document includes the June 8, 2021 EQB Monitor, the Dakota County news release and the Sun Thisweek (On-line Edition) news release.

The EAW was made available for public review at the following locations:

Central Library, Technical & Science Division, Government Docs., 2nd Floor, 300 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis, MN 55401 • Dakota County project web page at www.co.dakota.mn.us/Transportation/PlannedConstruction/MinnesotaRiver/Pages/default .aspx

Comments were received from June 8 through July 8, 2021. All comments received during the EAW comment period were considered in determining the potential for significant environmental

Dakota County – Minnesota River Greenway, Fort Snelling State Park Segment Project Findings of Fact and Conclusions Page 1 July 2021 impacts. Comments received during the comment period, and responses to the substantive comments, are provided in this document in Appendix C and Appendix D. 3.0 FINDINGS OF FACT 3.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The two trail projects that comprise the proposed action are defined in greater detail below. The preliminary design layout for each project can be found in Appendix A of this Findings document. “River Bottom Trail” Project The river bottom trail project is located between the existing trailhead at the Trunk Highway 77 (Cedar Avenue) Bridge and the Union Pacific Railroad corridor of CSAH 26 (Lone Oak Road). This project includes the construction of approximately 3.3 miles of multi-use, non- motorized trail. The multi-use, non-motorized trail will consist of a 10-foot wide paved surface with two-foot vegetated shoulders. The trail shoulders will be seeded with an appropriate native plant seed mix characteristic of the area.

The proposed trail alignment will cross Kennaley’s Creek, a public water crossing and designated trout stream, via an existing 60-foot long single span steel beam pedestrian bridge (BR01600). The bridge is under the ownership of the MnDNR. The project will increase the width of the existing bridge deck with a new timber deck from nine feet wide to 12 feet wide and replace the railing with a new 54-inch high timber railing with curb meeting current geometric requirements. The supporting beams and abutments will be unchanged. No work is planned in the waterway channel.

Portions of the proposed trail will be located on raised boardwalks through the Minnesota River floodway. The proposed boardwalks will have helical anchor piles. The boardwalk superstructure and deck will be concrete. The boardwalk railing will be metal.

The project will also include concrete geogrid mats to act as vehicle turnarounds and storm sewer culverts. “Rail Crossing Bridge” Project The rail crossing bridge project begins at the eastern terminus of the river bottom trail project (described above) and ends at the existing trailhead at CSAH 26 (Lone Oak Road). This project includes the construction of approximately 0.4 miles of multi-use, non-motorized trail. The multi- use, non-motorized trail will consist of a 10-foot wide paved surface with two-foot vegetated shoulders. The trail shoulders will be seeded with an appropriate native plant seed mix characteristic of the area.

The rail crossing bridge project includes the construction of a pedestrian bridge over the Union Pacific Railroad track near CSAH 26 (Lone Oak Road). The proposed pedestrian bridge will cross the railroad’s right-of-way perpendicularly and the face of all abutments and piers will be a minimum of five feet outside the right-of-way. The rail crossing bridge project will meet all requirements as laid out in the Guidelines for Railroad Grade Separation Projects. This includes a 23’-4” vertical clearance between the bottom of the proposed structure and top of the rails at a 50-foot offset from the centerline of the tracks, with the requirement being a nine-foot offset. A ten-foot high vertical chain link fence along both sides of the bridge crossing the tracks and along the railroad side of the trail running parallel to the tracks is also included in the design.

Dakota County – Minnesota River Greenway, Fort Snelling State Park Segment Project Findings of Fact and Conclusions Page 2 July 2021 The bridge type for crossing the tracks will be a prefabricated steel truss to eliminate any disruption to the railroad’s operations during the setting of the bridge. 3.2 CORRECTIONS, CHANGES, OR NEW INFORMATION SINCE THE EAW WAS PREPARED The following information pertaining to the proposed combined action has been added or updated since the EAW was published. Clarifications to information presented in the EAW also are noted. Dakota County Project Manager Josh Kinney is referenced as the Dakota County Project Manager in EAW Item 3. Josh has accepted a new position outside of the County and the project manager role has been reassigned. Please direct any future questions about the proposed action to Joe Morneau.

Email: [email protected] Permits and Approvals Required Tables 1 and 2 of the EAW lists anticipated permits and approvals required for the proposed projects.

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) in their comment letter noted that a MPCA 401 Water Quality Certification is needed on projects that require a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Section 404 permit.

The MnDNR in their comment letter stated that it is possible that a MnDNR Water Appropriation Permit could be required for the diversion of streams during the placing of the culverts for the trail.

The MnDNR in their comment letter requested that a Calcareous Fen Management Plan be added to the list of required permits and approvals for each project.

EAW Item 6.b on page 7 states that the staging of construction activities will be confirmed during the final design stage of the river bottom trail and rail crossing bridge projects. In general, construction will begin with the contractor establishing and staking out the construction boundaries. The contractor will install stabilized construction entrances prior to moving staging equipment and materials onsite. A preliminary traffic control plan has been prepared (see Figure 6 in Appendix A of the EAW) which shows temporary construction access from the existing trailhead at the Trunk Highway 77 (Cedar Avenue) Bridge. Another temporary construction railroad crossing will be shown in the rail crossing bridge project plans. Temporary construction access for the new bridge is currently pending Union Pacific Railroad approval.

The MnDNR in their comment letter stated that in addition to review by the Union Pacific Railroad, consultation with MnDNR Parks and Trails will be required to identify an appropriate temporary crossing location for the proposed rail crossing bridge project.

Dakota County – Minnesota River Greenway, Fort Snelling State Park Segment Project Findings of Fact and Conclusions Page 3 July 2021 The Metropolitan Council in their comment letter noted that the proposed trail crosses Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) facilities in three locations. Two locations are within public right-of-way and do not require any additional permitting to complete the work. A third location includes a crossing of the Seneca Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Outfall, which is a critical component of the treatment plant. The Seneca WWTP Outfall is an 84-inch Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP) that was constructed in 1971 and is located within a dedicated easement. Access to this easement requires an Encroachment Agreement, which Dakota County is in the process of obtaining. Dakota County will continue to work with MCES staff to complete the Encroachment Agreement process, coordinate work activities, and to ensure that the project and its related construction activities do not adversely impact this critical asset.

The Lower Minnesota River Watershed District (LMRWD) in their comment letter stated that Dakota County must obtain an LMRWD Individual Project Permit before the start of construction activities for the applicable rules. Based on the location within the LMRWD’s special overlay districts and the overall amount of land disturbance, the proposed action appears to trigger Rule B – Erosion and Sediment Control and Rule C – Floodplain and Drainage Alteration and potentially Rule D – Stormwater Management.

The LMRWD in their comment letter noted that the EAW mentions that the trail crosses Black Dog Creek. However, the LMRWD points out that due to the construction of Cedar Avenue, the MnDNR public streams alignment is incorrect, because Black Dog Creek no longer crosses under Cedar Avenue and instead overflows from Black Dog Lake to the Minnesota River. The stream labeled in the EAW as Black Dog Creek is its former channel. Given the presence of trout streams, confusion over the location and names of the trout streams, and the presence of the nearby Nicols Meadow calcareous fen complex, the LMRWD requests that the MnDNR Fisheries Unit also review the proposed combined action to ensure no harm comes to these rare resources from the trail construction. As requested, Dakota County will coordinate with the MnDNR Fisheries Unit with respect to reviewing the proposed combined action to provide clarification on the stream names and designations as well as to provide any design requirements or better management practices for the proposed crossing locations to reduce the impact of the proposed bridge and culvert crossings on these State-designated trout streams (Black Dog Creek and Kennaley’s Creek).

The updated list of permits and approvals for the proposed combined action is identified in Tables 1 and 2 of this Findings document. Land Use Plans As requested by the Metropolitan Council in their comment letter, Dakota County will prepare and submit a focused Minnesota River Greenway Master Plan Amendment (Plan Amendment) to the Council. The Plan Amendment will rely upon planning and technical work that has occurred subsequent to the adopted 2012 Master Plan and will include the items listed below.

• Rationale for selecting the chosen alignment

• How members of the public and other key stakeholders were involved in the selection of the alignment and/or development of the Interpretive Plan

• Documentation of the decision related to regional (vs. state) trail classification

• Latest use, operations, and maintenance agreements with MnDNR

Dakota County – Minnesota River Greenway, Fort Snelling State Park Segment Project Findings of Fact and Conclusions Page 4 July 2021 The MnDNR in their comment letter asked if the County has any future plans to connect the proposed trail facility to the nearby Cedar Grove Transit Station. In November 2017, the Dakota County Regional Railroad Authority, the City of Eagan and the Statewide Health Improvement Partnership completed the Cedar Avenue Transitway Station Area Plan. This plan outlines a range of future station area investments at the Cedar Grove Transit Station intended to improve mobility to and from the station, enhance the transit user experience, and facilitate transit supportive redevelopment near the station. Constructing a multi-use trail connection to the Minnesota River Valley Trails is identified as a possible future improvement in this plan. Geology, Soils and Topography/Land Forms The MnDNR in their comment letter stated that the geotechnical studies that have been completed to date will need to be referenced in each project’s Calcareous Fen Management Plan. As requested, Dakota County will coordinate with the MnDNR Wetlands Program Coordinator, Jennie Skancke, on the development of these plans. Calcareous Fen EAW Item 6.b on page 6 and EAW Item 11.a.i on page 18 states that a mapped calcareous fen is located near the eastern portion of the proposed combined action and is referred to as “Area 4” in the rail crossing plans. A field review of the corridor did not identify calcareous fen habitat in the combined project area, and the proposed combined action is not located within the mapped extent of this resource. Direct impacts to this unique habitat are not anticipated. As calcareous fens are sensitive to changes in hydrology, the potential for having incidental or secondary impacts is greater than would be anticipated in a typical wetland. For these reasons, the mapped area of the calcareous fen will be specifically excluded from access during construction and additional precautions will be undertaken to reduce alteration of hydrology. This may include restricting potential construction dewatering from this area, altering the quantity and quality of storm water runoff directed in this direction, evaluation of how the project could impact groundwater movement, and preventing disturbance that could encourage invasive species from encroaching.

The MnDNR in their comment letter stated that given that calcareous fens are natural systems, their occurrence on the landscape cannot always be precisely mapped. They may not have a clear or static boundary and frequently occur among other wetland types within a wetland complex or mosaic. Maps showing calcareous fen “boundaries” or “extents” are necessary for practical identification purposes but should not be interpreted as depicting discrete community boundaries, which can fluctuate on the landscape. Calcareous fens typically transition from a stable, diagnostic hydrology regime in the core of the fen community, to more variable hydrological regimes in surrounding seepage meadows (less consistent groundwater discharge), and sometimes to cattail marshes or floodplains (more frequent inundation). For regulatory purposes, the MnDNR has long considered the boundary of calcareous fens to be the boundary of the wetland complex in which the fen is located. As proposed, the MnDNR is concerned about indirect impacts to the fen, though the MnDNR doesn’t believe major changes to the design will be needed. Rather, the potential indirect impacts should be mitigated and/or minimized through development of a Calcareous Fen Management Plan that identifies measures that will be taken during construction. A Calcareous Fen Management Plan has been added to the list of required permits and approvals for each project.

Dakota County – Minnesota River Greenway, Fort Snelling State Park Segment Project Findings of Fact and Conclusions Page 5 July 2021 Public Water Wetlands EAW Item 11.a.i on page 18 states that Nicols (#19014200) and Quarry Lakes (#19012800) are Public Water Wetlands within the combined project area. These wetlands were also identified during the wetland delineation as Wetlands 1 and 2. These wetlands are identified separately as they are regulated by the MnDNR as Public Waters for the purposes of permitting.

The MnDNR in their comment letter stated that they have determined that Wetlands 1 and 2 in the wetland delineation are outside of the MnDNR Public Water Wetlands boundaries and should be regulated under the Wetland Conservation Act. The MnDNR also stated that the boardwalk crossings of Kennaley’s Creek and Nicols Lake will require MnDNR Public Water Works Permits. Groundwater The MnDNR in their comment letter requested that the County expand their response to EAW Item 11.a.ii (Groundwater) to include an explanation about upwelling and calcareous fens.

Calcareous fens are unique wetlands characterized by a substrate of non-acidic peat and dependent on a constant supply of cold groundwater that has low oxygen and is rich in calcium and magnesium bicarbonates. The calcium-rich environment supports plant species that are termed “calciphiles” or calcium loving species. Many of these species found within calcareous fens are rare due to the scarcity of the habitat. In Minnesota there are eight state-listed rare plants known to occur in calcareous fens, four of which occur almost exclusively in this plant community. Calcareous fens are typically found on slight slopes where discharging groundwater drains off and there is minimal surface water interaction. These conditions result in a wetland that is almost always saturated yet rarely experiences fluctuations in water level (MnDNR Calcareous Fen Fact Sheet, 2011). Due to the relatively fragile hydrology of calcareous fens, they are susceptible to degradation from hydrologic variations.

Calcareous fens are one of the rarest natural communities in the having been reported in only ten states. In Minnesota, there are approximately 200 identified calcareous fens. Most are only a few acres in size. They are typically found at the bases of terrace escarpments in river valleys in southeastern Minnesota, on the sides of morainal hills and valley sideslopes in southern and west-, and on the downslope side of beach ridges in the Glacial basin in the northwest (MnDNR Calcareous Fen Fact Sheet, 2011).

In Minnesota, calcareous fens are protected through the Wetland Conservation Act which states that calcareous fens may not be filled, drained, or otherwise degraded, wholly or partially, by any activity, unless the commissioner of natural resources, under an approved management plan, decides some alteration is necessary (Minn. Statutes 103G.223). Furthermore, the rare plants that are known to occur in calcareous fens are protected through the Minnesota endangered species law (Minn. Statutes 84.0895).

The calcareous fen near the project area was originally identified by the Minnesota Biological Survey in 1993. That survey identified several calcareous fens near the Minnesota River Greenway corridor project area. A more detailed follow up survey was conducted by Midwest Natural Resources, Inc. (MNR) in 2013. MNR conducted a meander plant survey and a targeted meander search for calciphiles throughout each of the previously identified calcareous fen areas. MNR used the “Calciphile Species Occurrence Method” to determine that there is one calcareous fen in the project area (Calcareous Fen Investigation, MNR, 2013).

The primary threats to the calcareous fen are direct habitat/plant destruction (trampling, excavation, etc.) and hydrologic impacts related to changes in surface drainage and groundwater Dakota County – Minnesota River Greenway, Fort Snelling State Park Segment Project Findings of Fact and Conclusions Page 6 July 2021 recharge to the fen. A Calcareous Fen Management Plan has been added to the list of required permits and approvals for each project. Stormwater Runoff The MnDNR in their comment letter stated that the southernmost portion of the trail will cross both Kennaley’s Creek and Black Dog Creek, both of which are MnDNR designated trout streams. As such, the MnDNR emphasized that great care must be taken to avoid sedimentation in these streams and, if at all possible, stormwater should not be routed to these streams.

The MnDNR in their comment letter stated that stormwater is especially destructive to calcareous fens and that all stormwater for the project must be routed away from calcareous fens.

The MPCA in their comment letter stated that the proposed action appears to be part of a larger Common Plan of Development as defined in the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System/State Disposal System (NPDES/SDS) General Construction Stormwater permit. The MPCA states that if the entire Project (past, current and future) results in 50 or more disturbed acres, the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for each phase requires review by the MPCA before permit issuance due to proximity to special and impaired waters. Dakota County will coordinate with the MPCA during the final design phase of the river bottom trail project and the rail crossing bridge project.

The MPCA in their comment letter stated that the proposed combined action has the ability to discharge to both impaired and special waters, including trout streams and a calcareous fen. The MPCA states that the EAW acknowledges that some additional best management practices (BMPs) will be required during construction. In addition, the MPCA states that the SWPPP for the Project must include additional or redundant (double) BMPs to minimize all potential water quality or environmental impacts to the special waters and maintenance of 100-foot buffers to these waters. An encroachment to these buffers requires full documentation for circumstances resulting in the need and include restoration activities. These redundant BMP’s are called for in the erosion control plan.

The MPCA in their comment letter stated that stormwater management must not increase the temperature of runoff to trout streams and volume reduction via infiltration or other method to reduce runoff is required. To achieve this, the MPCA strongly encourages the MnDNR to consider using pervious asphalt and boardwalks with slot openings to reduce impervious surface runoff over and near these and other waters. The MPCA also stated that infiltration via vegetated swales, bio-infiltration areas should also be considered to the greatest extent possible.

Boardwalks will consist of planks with up to a ¼-inch gap. Infiltration is infeasible on site, but drainage will be directed to vegetated swales. Water Appropriation The MnDNR in their comment letter stated that in many areas adjacent to Trunk Highway 13 (Sibley Memorial Highway), there is a clay layer that acts as a confining bed for the ground water in the bedrock in the area. The groundwater in the area is often artesian with high pressure that is difficult to control. As such, the MnDNR emphasized that great care should be taken in drilling near Highway 13 and a well driller should be on call to assist in an emergency sealing of the bore hole if this is needed.

Dakota County – Minnesota River Greenway, Fort Snelling State Park Segment Project Findings of Fact and Conclusions Page 7 July 2021 Proposed Water Crossings The MnDNR in their comment letter stated that the 10 to 13 culverts with a diameter between 12 and 27 inches are not consistent with the required avoidance measure for Blanding’s turtles listed on EAW page 5, “Culverts need to be 36 inches or greater in diameter, at least twice as wide as the normal width of open water and have an elliptical or flat-bottom.”

As stated in EAW Item 11.b.iv.b on page 26, the trail will require installation of culverts as it crosses a few forced low areas that drain to the Minnesota River. These smaller drainage structures are not located in a defined drainage channel and will be used to equalize flow and to provide hydrologic connectivity between the two sides of the trail, so that effects on the pre- construction hydrology, including water levels and hydroperiod, are minimized to the extent possible. Dakota County will continue to coordinate with the MnDNR during the final design phase of the river bottom trail project and the rail crossing bridge project.

The MnDNR in their comment letter asked if temporary bridges or other water crossings will be needed during the construction phase (Kennaley’s Creek, Quarry Lake outlets, and other unnamed drainages). If so, the MnDNR requested that those crossing locations and methods be described as part of the EAW. The MnDNR also requested that poly/timber mats be used when working on saturated soil in order to avoid compaction.

Temporary water crossings will be required to facilitate boardwalk construction. These crossings will consist of 1.5-inch clean rock embankments or causeways built parallel to the proposed boardwalks. Construction equipment for the boardwalk construction will work off of these embankments. This gradation of rock will allow slack water to percolate through the embankment. Concentrated flows at drainage ways will be accommodated by temporary culverts penetrating the embankment. When boardwalk construction is complete, the embankment and temporary culverts will be removed, and construction traffic will use the completed boardwalks. Poly/timber mats will be required when working on saturated soils. Potential Environmental Hazards The MnDNR in their comment letter stated that if it becomes necessary to conduct pollution remediation by pumping and treating ground water, then a MnDNR Water Appropriation Permit will be required for the appropriation if the volume exceeds 10,000 gallons per day, or one million gallons per year. State-Listed Species EAW Item 6.b on page 5 and EAW Item 13.d on page 41 state that the contractor must monitor for turtles during construction and report any sightings to the MnDNR Regional Nongame Specialist, Michael Worland at 320-234-2550 or [email protected]. The MnDNR in their comment letter noted that this staff contact has changed, and that the contractor must report any sightings of Blanding’s turtles to the MnDNR Regional Nongame Specialist, Erica Hoaglund ([email protected]; 651-259-5772). Archaeological Resources The Minnesota State Historic Preservation Office (MnSHPO) stated in their comment letter that the proposed combined action, as currently proposed, will have no adverse effect on site 21DK0035. This is an archaeological site located within the project’s area of potential effect. MnSHPO also stated that there are no properties listed in the National or State Registers of Historic Places that will be affected by the proposed combined action. The MnSHPO comment

Dakota County – Minnesota River Greenway, Fort Snelling State Park Segment Project Findings of Fact and Conclusions Page 8 July 2021 letter notes that this state-level review of the proposed combined action does not address the requirements of a “Section 106” federal-level review.

As referenced in EAW Item 14 and in Appendix F of the EAW, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) Cultural Resources Unit (CRU) determined that there would be no historic properties affected by the proposed river bottom trail project. The MnDOT CRU determination addresses the requirements of a “Section 106” federal-level review given that this is a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)-funded project.

As referenced in EAW Item 6, the proposed rail crossing bridge project does not utilize any federal funds. If it is determined that the proposed rail crossing bridge project will require a federal wetlands permit, then review and consultation with MnSHPO will need to be initiated by the lead federal agency (the USACE), in accordance with the MnSHPO comment letter. Dust Control The MnDNR in their comment letter stated that the appropriation of water from the Minnesota River or nearby lakes in volumes that exceed 10,000 gallons per day, or one million gallons per year, will need approval under a MnDNR Water Appropriation Permit. It was noted that the MnDNR will not allow appropriation from Kennaly’s Creek Trout Stream or Black Dog Creek Trout Stream. The MnDNR requested that products containing chloride not be used for dust control in this sensitive area. 4.0 AGENCY AND PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THE EAW In response to the publication of the EAW, Dakota County received five agency comment letters and five public comments. Consistent with state environmental review rules, responses have been prepared for all substantive comments submitted during the EAW 30-day comment period, which ended on July 8, 2021.

The comments were in regard to the following areas:

• General Project Support • Cumulative Potential Effects 5.0 FINDINGS REGARDING CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS Minnesota Rules 4410.1700 provides that an environmental impact statement shall be ordered for projects that have the potential for significant environmental effects. In deciding whether a project has the potential for significant environmental effects, the following four factors described in Minnesota Rules 4410.1700, Subp.7 shall be considered:

A. Type, extent, and reversibility of environmental effects;

B. Cumulative potential effects. The RGU shall consider the following factors: whether the cumulative potential effect is significant; whether the contribution from the project is significant when viewed in connection with other contributions to the cumulative potential effect; the degree to which the project complies with approved mitigation measures specifically designed to address the cumulative potential effect; and the efforts of the proposer to minimize the contributions from the project;

C. The extent to which the environmental effects are subject to mitigation by ongoing public regulatory authority. The RGU may rely only on mitigation measures that are specific and that can be reasonably expected to effectively mitigate the identified environmental impacts of the project; and

D. The extent to which environmental effects can be anticipated and controlled as a result of other available environmental studies undertaken by public agencies or the project proposer, including other EISs.

Dakota County’s key findings with respect to each of these criteria are set forth below. 5.1 TYPE, EXTENT, AND REVERSIBILITY OF IMPACTS Dakota County finds that the analysis completed during the EAW process is adequate to determine whether the proposed combined action has the potential for significant environmental effects. The EAW describes the type and extent of impacts anticipated to result from the proposed combined action. In addition to the information in the EAW, the additional information described in Section 3.2 of this Findings document, as well as the comments received during the

Dakota County – Minnesota River Greenway, Fort Snelling State Park Segment Project Findings of Fact and Conclusions Page 10 July 2021 public comment period (see Appendix C and Appendix D of this Findings document) were taken into account in considering the type, extent and reversibility of project impacts. 5.2 CUMULATIVE POTENTIAL EFFECTS OF RELATED OR ANTICIPATED FUTURE PROJECTS As discussed in Item 19 of the EAW, the cumulative potential effect of related or anticipated future transportation and development projects has been considered, and the proposed combined action has low potential for cumulative impacts to the resources directly or indirectly affected by the project. Given laws, rules, and regulations in place, as well as local regulatory requirements and comprehensive planning and zoning laws, substantial adverse cumulative impacts to these resources are not anticipated. 5.3 EXTENT TO WHICH THE ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS ARE SUBJECT TO MITIGATION BY ONGOING PUBLIC REGULATORY AUTHORITY The mitigation of environmental impacts will be designed and implemented in coordination with regulatory agencies and will be subject to the plan approval and permitting process. Permits and approvals that have been obtained or may be required prior to project construction include those listed below in Tables 1 and 2.

5.4 EXTENT TO WHICH ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS CAN BE ANTICIPATED AND CONTROLLED AS A RESULT OF OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Dakota County has extensive experience in trail and bridge construction. Many similar projects have been designed and constructed throughout the county. No problem is anticipated which Dakota County has not encountered and successfully solved many times in similar projects in or near the project area. Dakota County finds that the environmental effects of the proposed combined action can be anticipated and controlled as a result of assessment of potential issues during environmental review, and experience in addressing similar issues on previous projects. 6.0 CONCLUSIONS 1. Dakota County has jurisdiction in determining the need for an environmental impact statement on the proposed combined action.

2. All requirements for environmental review of the proposed combined action have been met.

3. The EAW and the permit development processes related to the proposed combined action have generated information that is adequate to determine whether the proposed combined action has the potential for significant environmental effects.

4. Areas where potential environmental effects have been identified will be addressed during the final design of the proposed combined action. Mitigation will be provided where impacts are expected to result from project construction, operation or Dakota County – Minnesota River Greenway, Fort Snelling State Park Segment Project Findings of Fact and Conclusions Page 13 July 2021 maintenance. Mitigative measures are incorporated into project design, and have been or will be coordinated with state and federal agencies during the permitting process.

5. Based on the criteria in Minnesota Rules part 4410.1700, the project does not have the potential for significant environmental effects.

6. An Environmental Impact Statement is not required for the proposed Dakota County – Minnesota River Greenway, Fort Snelling State Park Segment Project.

7. Any findings that might properly be termed conclusions and any conclusions that might properly be called findings are hereby adopted as such.

Based on the Findings of Fact and Conclusions contained herein and on the entire record:

Dakota County hereby determines that the Dakota County – Minnesota River Greenway, Fort Snelling State Park Segment Project will not result in significant environmental impacts, and that the proposed combined action does not require the preparation of an environmental impact statement.

Comment B4 Response: The proposed trail alignment will cross Kennaley’s Creek, a public water crossing and designated trout stream, via an existing 60-foot long single span steel beam pedestrian bridge (BR01600). The bridge is under the ownership of the MnDNR. The project will increase the width of the existing bridge deck with a new timber deck from nine feet wide to 12 feet wide and replace the railing with a new 54-inch high timber railing with curb meeting current geometric requirements. The supporting beams and abutments will be unchanged. No work is planned in the waterway channel.

Comment B5 Response: Dakota County will coordinate with the MnDNR Fisheries Unit during the final design phase of the river bottom trail project and the rail crossing bridge project.

Comment D5 Response: Comment noted. Comment D6 Response: In November 2017, the Dakota County Regional Railroad Authority, the City of Eagan and the Statewide Health Improvement Partnership completed the Cedar Avenue Transitway Station Area Plan which outlines a range of future station area investments at the Cedar Grove Transit Station intended to improve mobility to and from the station, enhance the transit user experience, and facilitate transit supportive redevelopment near the

station. Constructing a multi-use trail connection to the Minnesota River Valley Trails is identified as a possible future improvement in the station area plan.

Comment D13 Response: As stated in EAW Item 11.b.iv.b on page 26, the trail will require installation of culverts as it crosses a few forced low areas that drain to the Minnesota River. These smaller drainage structures are not located in a defined drainage channel and will be used to equalize flow and to provide hydrologic connectivity between the two sides of the trail, so that effects on the pre-construction hydrology, including water levels and hydroperiod, are minimized to the extent possible. Dakota County will continue to coordinate with the MnDNR during the final design phase of the river bottom trail project and the rail crossing bridge project.

Comment D14 Response: Temporary water crossings will be required to facilitate boardwalk construction. These crossings will consist of 1.5-inch clean rock embankments or causeways built parallel to the proposed boardwalks. Construction equipment for the boardwalk

construction will work off of these embankments. This gradation of rock will allow slack water to percolate through the embankment. Concentrated flows at drainage ways will be accommodated by temporary culverts penetrating the embankment. When boardwalk construction is complete, the embankment and temporary culverts will be removed, and construction traffic will use the completed boardwalks. Poly/timber mats will be required when working on saturated soils.

Comment E5 Response: These redundant BMP’s are called for in the erosion control plan. Comment E6 Response: Boardwalks will consist of planks with up to a ¼-inch gap. Infiltration is infeasible on site, but drainage will be directed to vegetated swales.

Comment B1 Response: Thank you for your comment on the Minnesota River Greenway project. Dakota County and our project partners have spent a substantial amount of effort to design a trail connection that provides a safe and quality user experience while minimizing environmental impacts. We believe that this trail may enable more people to use bicycles instead of cars to access recreation opportunities and work destinations along the Minnesota River.

Public Comment C – Stephen Yates (Page 1 of 1)

Comment D1 Response: Thank you for your comment and story about your experience in the Minnesota River Valley. If the project as proposed moves forward you and many more will be able to enjoy a similar experience for years to come.

Public Comment E – Mike Luke (Page 1 of 1)

E1

Comment E1 Response: Thank you for your comment on the Minnesota River Greenway project. For the most part, this trail will be independent of the existing soft surface trail that follows closer to the river northeast of the Trunk Highway 77 (Cedar Avenue) pedestrian bridge. The proposed project would close a substantial gap in the paved trail system completing a connection between Big Rivers Trail/St. Paul and the Interstate 35W Bridge in Burnsville.
