Notes:

Rivers (Federal) -
An approximate location is listed - see listing from National Park
Service for precise location
All rivers listed are potential candidates for federal Wild and Scenic Rivers Inventory
except St. Croix River. If listed river is within the project
limits, see memo from Joe Thomas to Lynn Eaton (12/14/84). Additionally, "the NPS must be contacted to
review proposals for Federally funded projects; early coordination is recommended" (Letter
from NPS to Mn/DOT dated June 11, 1991).
If on the St. Croix,
the NPS has review authority for all projects on the upper portion
and on all Federally funded projects on the lower segment" (letter
from NPS to Mn/DOT dated June 11, 1991). Project Managers are encouraged
to contact Project Liaison and Environmental Services for additional
guidance.
