City of Duluth accepting public comment on Environmental Assessment of CN Duluth Dock 6 project

The City of Duluth is accepting public comments during a 30-day public review period from March 18 to April 17, 2013, on an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) that was prepared for the CN Duluth Dock 6 Stabilization and Materials Stockpile Expansion Project.  This area is sometimes referred to as Half Moon Bay, and is near 34^th Avenue West and Interstate 35.

The proposed project includes filling 24.3 acres of St. Louis Bay with 288,400 cubic yards of fill to provide additional space for materials storage; stormwater collection and management for the facility; and stabilization of Dock 6 with sheetpile, all of which will increase the efficiency and capacity of the facility.

A copy of the EAW is available online at www.duluthmn.gov/planning.  Additional copies of the EAW are available for public review at:

• Duluth Public Library, 520 West Superior Street, Duluth

• Duluth Planning Office, 411 West First Street, Room 208, Duluth

The EAW will be published in the March 18, 2013 EQB Monitor.  Written comments must be submitted no later than 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 17, 2013, to the attention of Charles Froseth, Land Use Supervisor, 411 West First Street, Room 208, Duluth MN  55802.  The Planning Commission will review the comments at their May 14, 2013, Planning Commission meeting.

Electronic or email comments may be sent to cfroseth@duluthmn.gov with “CN Dock 6 EAW” in the subject line. If submitting comments electronically, include name and mailing address.
