SWIFT Contract Number 3000064399

Project Name St. Croix River Crossing Water Quality Stakeholder

Project Number (if applicable) 96089

Summarize purpose of the contract, including why it was necessary: The final Environmental Impact Statement for the St. Croix River Crossing included a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to address water quality issues, including establishment of a water quality management advisory committee (WQMAC). The WQMAC was made up of representatives from state and federal agencies, and local entities such as watershed districts and municipalities.

The work to be performed under this contract included facilitation services for the WQMAC/stakeholders process while meeting the conditions of the MOU so a coordinated process for water quality permits and considerations required under the multi-jurisdictional project environment is achieved. WQMAC/stakeholder involvement included identification of permit requirements, issues, conflicts, timing and opportunities.

A contract was necessary because facilitation expertise with required knowledge of the environmental issues of the St. Croix Crossing project was not available when these services were needed.
