Determination of the Necessity of an Environmental Impact Statement for <br />the Long Lake Improvement Project <br />Page 9 <br />L.Sensitive Resources <br />I.Parkland <br />Section 26 of the EAW discusses the type and extent of the environmental effects <br />associated with the expansion of the sedimentation basins in Long Lake, which will take place <br />in a designated park. As noted in the EAW. less than half of an acre of existing open space <br />will be converted to a wet detention basin. <br />The cumulative potential impacts of related or anticipated future projects has also been <br />considered by the MCWD in making its determination of no significant impact. There are no <br />related Projects and there are no reasonably foreseeable future projects that, combined with <br />the current Project, would result in significant environmental impacts on the park. <br />Any environmental impacts of the project on the park is subject to ongoing oversight <br />by the City of Long Lake. The City may deny construction of the Project or require <br />mitigation of any amenities lost due to the project. <br />2. Wolsfeld Woods Scientific and Natural Area <br />Section 26 of the EAW notes that the WWSNA is located within 1,000 feet of the <br />County Road No. 6 basin and 50 feet of the Deer Hill Road basin. The EAW also notes that <br />the Project will have no impact on the WWSNA. <br />After consideration of the factors set out in Minnesota Rule 4410,1700, the MCWD <br />determines that the Project will not result in significant environmental effects on sensitive <br />resources. <br />M. Impact on Infrastructure and Public Services <br />The type and extent o'* the Project’s impact on infrastructure and public services is <br />discussed in section 29 of the EAW. The Project requires minimal public services and will <br />have a minimal impact on infrastructure. Unlike construction of homes or business, the <br />Project does not require hook up to City sewers or water. <br />m <br />There will be no cumulatively significant impacts on infrastructure or public services <br />from the Project and other past, present or reasonably foreseeable future projects.
