Camden State Park Instructor's Cabin Removal Project

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), as the Responsible Governmental Unit for environmental review of the Camden State Park Instructor's Cabin Removal Project in Lyon County, Minnesota, has issued the attached Record of Decision regarding the Need for an Environmental Impact Statement for the project. The project's Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) notice was published in the December 21, 2015 issue of the EQB Monitor (Vol. 39, No. 26, pg. 3-4).

The DNR has concluded that an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is not required because the project does not have the potential for significant environmental effects. The justification for this determination is contained in the Record of Decision. The Record of Decision also contains the Department's responses to all substantive written comments received on the Environmental Assessment Worksheet during the 30-day review and comment period.

Issuing this Record of Decision concludes the State environmental review process for this project according to the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board rules, Minnesota Rules, part 4410.1000 to 4410.1700. This project can proceed to permitting and approvals.

For additional information, or copies of the Record of Decision, please call 651-259-5157.
