Carlton County (Clear Creek culvert replacement) - 401 Water Quality Certification
We invite you to comment on the draft 401 Water Quality Certification for the County Road 103 Clear Creek culvert replacement in Carlton County.
The Carlton County Transportation Department proposes to replace the culvert that conveys Clear Creek under County Road 103.
The culvert has reached the end of its service life and is undersized, making it prone to overtopping. In addition, the road shoulder is deteriorating due to structural failures in the current box culvert. The county proposes to replace the existing 7-foot-by-5-foot culvert with a new 14-foot-by-10-foot precast concrete culvert with the same alignment.
The project is expected to impact 1,002 square feet of stream.
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.
