City of Wabasha (barge terminal facility) - 401 Water Quality Certification
We invite you to comment on the draft 401 Water Quality Certification for the City of Wabasha, Wabasha Barge Terminal Facility, #2020-01306-ACM Wabasha County, MN.
The City of Wabasha is proposing the construction of a commercial port facility on the Mississippi River, located on 5th Grant Boulevard. The City of Wabasha will partner with the United States Army Corps of Engineers for the initial 10-year operational period to transfer dredged material from the Upper Mississippi River navigation channel through the Wabasha Barge Facility for transport to off-site facilities. Construction of the facility will not impact any wetlands, so it will not require mitigation. The project will either maintain or improve water quality for this reach of the Mississippi River after completion.
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.
