RE: Meeting with GCDC-WWS on KWA issues

Hi Chris- Thanks for the heads up about this meeting concerning Norway Lake Road at Laneer State Garne Area. i'm assuming this is ali related to the water pineline project? If the Lapeer County Road Commission is requesting a wider roadway, Wildlife Division will need to know if they will be working outside of their existing right-of-way and/or if they require a permanent easement. The land along Norway Lake Read was purchased with Pittmar-Robertson Funds and thus requires US. Fish & Wildlife Service approval by the Minnesota office for any perrnanant conveyance of rights inland. NEPA chocumertation is required. Pve attached the funding source map for Lapeer County far your information. The Genesee County Drain Commission (GCDC} did receive approwal and a permanent easement (350 long x 40’ wide} for the pipeline crossing of the South Branch of the Flint River along Norway Lake Road (south side of the road). The easement is attached. That process tank about 10 months. it would be best if we could avoid going through this process again. When we met with GCC, all indications were they would be able to install the pineline within the existing road ROW. Piease let me know if there are any questions.

FYL | hust spoke with Mir. Osborn. The irnpetus for the meeting, which is slated for tomorrow afternoon, is that the road through the Lapeer State Garnes Area is narrow (S-foot lanes} and the Lapeer County Road Commission (now) wants it widened to meet currant standards (11-foot lanes plus shoulder), About 7,600 linear feet of roadway are under discussion, if the entire expansion is into wetland, ft would ervtail nearly 4 of an acre of additional permanent wetland impact. However, any additional permanent wetland iripact will require a new perrnit application, | will have more details after the meeting and will keen you in the loop. in the meantime, your thoughts are welcome.

FW: KWA meeting request (new water line from Lake Huron to Flint)

See all emails with these participants
Importance: High Pete. Chris Clamaitt sent you an e-rnail regarding the new waiter line project from Lake Huron to Flint and requested a determination on which district should be the lead. Chris has since found cut that the permit for the Lake Huron inlet has been issued so aust ihe line from Lake Huron to Fini needs to be permitted. We are getting daily e-mails from Genesee Counly Drain Commissioner asking for a meeting. Since most of the pipeline is In the Lansing Cist. and Lapeer and Genesee Counties are Chris's responsibilities, it seems logical for Lansing to be the lead. However, Amy Lounds has talked to Chris that she wants Katie Fairchild to be the igad (i am not sure why). So we need a decision this week so a meeting can be set up for next week.
