St. Louis County (County Road 8 culvert replacement) - 401 Water Quality Certification

We invite you to comment on the draft 401 Water Quality Certification for the CSAH 8 culvert replacement in St. Louis County.

 

St. Louis County proposes to replace an existing 49-inch-diameter culvert under County Road 8 just west of Highway 53 with an 8-foot-by-4-foot box culvert embedded 1.2 feet into the streambed of Chalberg Creek.

 

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.
