Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274
Action Requested: Review the draft agenda for the February 28, 2012 special City Council
meeting on the Zavoral Mining and Reclamation Project DEIS (Draft
Environmental Impact Statement.)
Deadline/Timeline: N/A
Background: • The Draft EIS has been completed. Paper copies were delivered to
the City on February 14, and the document has been posted on the
City's website.
• The City Council will be asked to approve its release for the formal
public review and comment period at a special meeting scheduled
for 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 28.
• The proposed schedule for the comment period is as follows:
March 19, 2012 Notice of EIS availability appears in EQB
Monitor; 60-day comment period begins
April 3, 2012 Public information meeting (at Planning
Commission meeting)
May 18, 2012 Comment period ends (4:00 p.m.)
• The draft agenda includes time for questions from the Council about
the content of the DEIS. Questions from the public should focus on
the review process only. It is very important that any comments
concerning the adequacy of the DEIS be submitted during the
formal review period, to ensure that they will be specifically
addressed after the comment period ends and considered in
preparation of the Final EIS.
Recommendations: I recommend that the Council review the agenda for the February 28
special meeting.
