City of Maple Grove (Rush Creek stream bank stabilization)- 401 Water Quality Certification
We invite you to comment on the draft 401 Water Quality Certification for the Rush Hollow stream bank stabilization project in Hennepin County.
The City of Maple Grove seeks to repair extensive erosion along Rush Creek and stabilize the stream bank to reduce the risk of future erosion and sediment transport. Project work will include bank grading and shaping to repair eroded slopes and reconnect the stream to its floodplain, rip rap placement for stabilization, anchored tree installation, vegetation planting, and removal of accumulated sediment from the stream channel.
The proposed project will permanently impact 3,370 linear feet of Rush Creek, including 0.02 acres of permanent fill and 0.46 acres of permanent cut, and impact 352 square feet of floodplain forest wetland due to stream bank grading and reshaping.
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.
