Watonwan County Judicial Ditch 11 Improvement Project
Location (city/township; county): Adrian and Nelson; Watonwan
Process: Petition
Step: EAW need decision
Responsible governmental unit decision: EAW Not Required
Responsible governmental unit decision date: Mar 28, 2024
Responsible governmental unit and contact: Watonwan County, Kelly Pauling,
507-375-1210
Location (city/township; county): Welch; Goodhue
Process: EIS
Step: EIS Scoping EAW and Draft Scoping Decision
End of comment period: May 9, 2024
Project description: Northern States Power Company, d/b/a. Xcel Energy proposes to construct and operate an expanded ISFSI at PINGP to provide 20 additional years of spent fuel storage between 2033/2034 and 2053/2054. The expansion would use a welded canister dry fuel storage (DFS) system licensed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for both storage and transportation. The Project is proposed with the Company’s intent to seek necessary federal approvals to extend the existing operating life of the two pressurized water reactors at the plant. The Project would construct up to two pads, as needed, to store a projected 34 additional DFS systems (approximately 1,200 spent fuel assemblies) within the current fence line of the ISFSI.

Location (city/township; county): Blaine; Anoka
Process: AUAR
Step: Draft AUAR
End of comment period: May 9, 2024
Project description: As the Responsible Governmental Unit (RGU), the City of Blaine has determined that an Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) is required for the proposed redevelopment of the area of an around the Northtown Mall. The AUAR study area encompasses approximately 245 acres located in the southwest corner of Blaine. At the center of the study area is the mall itself, which is generally surrounded by retail/commercial development. Two development scenarios are being studied. Scenario 1 is consistent with the land uses in the existing comprehensive plan (as amended in 2023 for this area) and Scenario 2 is the land use plan that was produced through the visioning process and that is included in the Northtown District Vision Plan document. Both scenarios have varying amounts of retail/office and residential development.
