Winona County 85J58 Bridge Replacement (SAP 085-599-080, LT10) Project- 401 Water Quality Certification

We invite you to comment on the draft 401 Water Quality Certification for the 85J58 Bridge Replacement in Winona County.

 

The Winona County Highway Department proposes to replace a bridge (85J58 – SAP 085-599-080, LT10) along a tributary to West Burns Valley Creek. The existing crossing, a 72-inch span X 42-foot (ft) length corrugated metal pipe (CMP) culvert, will be replaced with a single 10 ft span X 6 ft rise X 62-ft length concrete box culvert. A total of 61 linear feet of riprap will be placed at the inlet and outlet of the proposed culvert. No mitigation is required for this project.


A 401 Water Quality Certification is required when an individual, business, or property owner proposes construction-related activities near a navigable lake, river, stream, or adjacent wetland. The MPCA reviews projects to ensure they will not violate Minnesota's more protective water quality standards. The 401 certification becomes an enforceable component of the associated federal license or permits issued under the Clean Water Act.
