WHEREAS, the Minnesota Code of Agency Rules has been established for
the Environmental Quality Board which administers the Environmental Review
Program (Rules 6 MCAR SS 3.021- 3.056); and
WHEREAS, the purpose of the Minnesota Environmental Review Program is
to provide information to decision makers which allows them to incorporate
environmental protection into the planning and design of projects that may have
significant impacts on environmental resources; and
WHEREAS, the Rules permit the preparation of a discretionary
Environmental Assessment Worksheet when a project does not fall under the
mandatory EAW requirements, yet the project is not exempt under 6 MCAR S 3.041
and when a governmental unit with approval authority over the proposed project
determines that, because of the nature or location of a proposed project, the
project may have the potential for significant environmental effects; and
WHEREAS, the City of Brooklyn Center, who is the governmental unit with
approval authority over the proposed project, believes that the potential
environmental effects should be reviewed.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Brooklyn Center initiates
the preparation of a discretionary Environmental Assessment Worksheet and is
designated the Responsible Governmental Unit (RGU) for this process.
