Van Milligen MCVM:jh Attachment cc: Barry Lindahl, City Attorney Cindy Steinhauser, Assistant City Manager Laura Carstens, Planning Services Manager Masterpiece on the Mississippi TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: Laura Carstens, Planning Services Manager SUBJECT: LWCF Grant Application -- Mines of Spain Park Expansion DATE: February 28, 2012 Dubuque * * ** AIIAmericaCily 2007 Introduction This memo transmits a 2012 LWCF (Land & Water Conservation Fund) grant application to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) for acquisition and development of the Bottoms property, a planned expansion of the Mines of Spain state park identified as the E.B. Lyons Interpretive Area Addition on the enclosed maps. Background The LWCF Grant Program is a federal grant program of the National Park Service that provides funds to cities and county conservation boards. Grants require a 50% match. Eligible projects include acquisition and /or development of land for outdoor recreation. The maximum grant allowed to the City is $175,000. The LWCF grant requires a perpetual easement for the project. Discussion The 52 -acre Bottoms property is west of the E.B. Lyons Interpretive Center. The City is working in partnership with the IDNR, the Friends of the Mines of Spain (FOMOS), and the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation (INHF) on acquisition and natural re- development of this land. The IDNR will manage this land as part of the state park. The INHF has acquired the Bottoms property, and the City has a purchase agreement with the INHF at a cost of $312,000 plus interest. Cost estimates are being finalized for removal of farm structures and capping the well on the property, as well as the proposed improvements shown on the master plan. The preliminary project cost for acquisition and development is $526,600. The local match for the $175,000 LWCF grant includes the City's $200,000 REAP (Resource and Enhancement Protection) grant from the IDNR for acquisition of the Bottoms property. The City has committed up to $100,000 in General Fund monies from Land Sales in the Dubuque Industrial Center West toward Mines of Spain land acquisition. Local match of $51,600 is expected from private fundraising and donations from the FOMOS. Requested Action The requested action is for the City Council to approve the attached resolution authorizing the Mayor to sign and Planning Services staff to submit the 2012 LWCF grant application.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT — PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCREENING FORM (Part III of this Application starts on the next page): 12/2011 cmz - 13 - DNR Form 542 -0128 Section II - Application LAND AND WATER CONSERVATION FUND National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Part III LWCF Proposal Description and Environmental Screening Form The purpose of this Proposal Description and Environmental Screening Form (PD/ESF) is to provide descriptive and environmental information about a variety of Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) state assistance proposals submitted for National Park Service (NPS) review and decision. The completed PD/ESF becomes part of the "federal administrative record" in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and its implementing regulations. The PD portion of the form captures administrative and descriptive details enabling the NPS to understand the proposal. The ESF portion is designed for States and/or project sponsors to use while the LWCF proposal is under development. Upon completion, the ESF will indicate the resources that could be impacted by the proposal enabling States and/or project sponsors to more accurately follow an appropriate pathway for NEPA analysis: 1) a recommendation for a Categorical Exclusion (CE), 2) production of an Environmental Assessment (EA), or 3) production of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The ESF should also be used to document any previously conducted yet still viable environmental analysis if used for this federal proposal. The completed PD/ESF must be submitted as part of the State's LWCF proposal to NPS. Using a separate sheet for narrative descriptions and explanations, address each item and question in the order it is presented, and identify each response with its item number such as Step A2; Step 4-Al, A29; etc. Step 1.

Describe development plans for the proposal for the site(s) for public outdoor recreation use within the next three (3) years. 4. State Liaison Officer must complete the State Appraisal/Waiver Valuation Review form certifying that the appraisal(s) has been reviewed and meets the "Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions" or a waiver valuation was approved per 49 CFR 24.102(c)(2)(ii). State should retain copies of the appraisals and make them available if needed. 5. Address each item in "D" below. ❑ OK B. For a Development Project 1. Describe the physical improvements and /or facilities that will be developed with federal LWCF assistance, including a site sketch depicting improvements, where and how the public will access the site, parking, etc. Indicate entrances on 6(f) map. Indicate to what extent the project involves new development, rehabilitation, and /or replacement of existing facilities. 2. When will the project be completed and open for public outdoor recreation use? 3. Address each item in "D" below. ❑ OK C. For a Combination Project 1. For the acquisition part of the proposal: a. Provide a brief narrative about the proposal that provides the reasons for the acquisition, number of acres to be acquired with LWCF assistance, and describes the property. Describe and quantify the types of existing resources and features on the site (for example, 50 acres wetland, 2,000 feet beachfront, 200 acres forest, scenic views, 100 acres riparian, vacant lot, special habitat, any unique or special features, recreation amenities, historic /cultural resources, hazardous materials/ contamination history, restrictions, institutional controls, easements, rights -of -way, above ground /underground utilities, including wires, towers, etc.) The 52 -acre Bottoms property is vacant land west of the E.B. Lyons Interpretive Center. The City is working in partnership with the IDNR, the Friends of the Mines of Spain (FOMOS), and the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation (INHF) on acquisition and natural re- development of this land. The IDNR will manage this land as part of the state park. The property is highlighted on the attached overall map of the Mines of Spain. On August 20, 2011, the 52 acres of Bottoms property came up for auction.Fortunately, the INHF was able to acquire the Bottoms property and worked out a resale agreement with the City. The Bottoms property includes a vacant & abandoned farmstead with several buildings, including a house, garage, barns, and outbuildings which must be removed from the property due to their poor condition and a well that must be capped per Dubuque County orders and State health codes. Asbestos is present in the garage roofing, and in the siding and linoleum of the house. The property enjoys scenic views. There are no historic properties on the site. A tower powerline easement and an access easement traverse the southeast portion of the property. The acquisition of this land is extremely important to the Mines of Spain State Park and the E.B. Lyons 12/2011 cmz - 15 - DNR Form 542 -0128 Section II - Application Interpretive Center. The land acquisition would allow: the creation of a buffer for the State Park and the Interpretive Center from encroaching development, protection of the historical, archeological, cultural, and natural resources we anticipate are on the property, restoration of native landscape to improve and expand wildlife habitat and storm water management, and opportunities to expand parking, interpretive signage, and other park amenities that will improve the visitor experience. b. How and when will the site be made open and accessible for public outdoor recreation use (signage, entries, parking, site improvements, allowable activities, etc.)? Rugged and complex topography adds to highly scenic character but directly controls and limits option for park facility placement. Scenic quality is an extremely valuable natural asset. While somewhat difficult to qualify, visual resources are a source of attraction and can be the essence of satisfaction for many park visitors. Semi - disjointed boundary configuration almost creates two 20+ acre parcels that are connected by a narrow moderately steep slope. Archaeological sites and biologic surveys will need to be completed prior to any development. c. Describe development plans for the proposed for the site(s) for public outdoor recreation use within the next three (3) years. The 52 -acre acquisition presents opportunities, challenges, and limitations. Some ideas being considered are the expansion of interpretive opportunities that would be universally accessible and close to the Center; the ability to experience dramatic scenery; develop an area for youth group camping and provide more parking close to the Interpretive Center that is badly needed. The steep topography which adds to the scenic beauty, also limits options. For example, like E.B. Lyons Interpretive Center, this addition can't be connected by road to the Mines of Spain. Protection of the archeological, historic, and natural resources may also limit what might be done with the land. Archaeological sites and biologic surveys will need to be completed prior to any development. Below are the objectives of the development plan for the next three years: 1. Re- evaluate existing Mines of Spain master plan for goals, objectives, issues, and considerations that have changed since 1989 2. Preserve the outstanding scenic qualities from intrusive development 3. Expand and enhance the interpretive opportunities adjacent to E.B. Lyons Interpertive Center to include: • Develop additional trails — emphasize full accessibility • Replace row crops with prairie and /or woodland to provide closer interpretive opportunities • Re- establish prairie, savanna and woodland will allow Interpretive Center -based programs which will not require vehicular transportation 4. Improve water quality in Catfish and Granger Creeks when row crops are replaced with permanent natural vegetation 5. Relocate vehicular access for a more park -like entrance 6. Relocate and construct a new park maintenance facility 7. Increase E.B. Lyons Interpretive Center parking in previous park shop location 8. Provide some low- impact recreation opportunities such as hike -in camping and youth group camp d. State Liaison Officer must complete the State Appraisal/Waiver Valuation Review form certifying that the appraisal(s) has been reviewed and meets the "Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions" or a waiver valuation was approved per 49 CFR 24.102(c)(2)(ii). State should retain copies of the appraisals and make them available if needed. 2. For the development part of the proposal: a. Describe the physical improvements and /or facilities that will be developed with federal LWCF assistance, including a site sketch depicting improvements, where and how the public will access the site, parking, etc. Indicate entrances on 6(f) map. Indicate to what extent the project involves new development, rehabilitation, and /or replacement of existing facilities. Proposed improvements shown on the attached site plan include: improved visibility of the existing entrance to the E.B. Lyons Interpetive Center and additional visitor parking; new restrooms and shelters; an ADA accessible trail from the Interpetive Center to new overlook/outdoor classroom in the Interpretive Area Addition; youth group camp ground area; information /orientation kiosk; wildlife buffer plantings; bioretention cell; and Prairie Trailhead. b. When will the project be completed and open for public outdoor recreation use? 12/2011 cmz - 16 - DNR Form 542 -0128 Section II - Application within three years. 3.

Lyons Interpretive Center. 8. Explain any existing non - recreation and non - public uses that will continue on the site(s) and /or proposed for the future within the 6(f) boundary. No existing non- recreation and non - public uses will continue on the site. 9. Describe the planning process that led to the development of this proposal. Your narrative should address: a. How was the interested and affected public notified and provided opportunity to be involved in planning for and developing your LWCF proposal? Who was involved and how were they able to review the completed proposal, including any state, local, federal agency professionals, subject matter experts, members of the public and Indian Tribes. Describe any public meetings held and /or formal public comment periods, including dates and length of time provided for the public to participate in the planning process and /or to provide comments on the completed proposal. The IDNR kicked off the master plan process for the Bottoms property at a February 2, 2012 work session at the E.B. Lyons Center with a multi - disciplinary planning task force IDNR, City, INHF, and FOMOS representatives. The task force drafted a plan for the future management and appropriate development of this additional land, to preserve its natural and cultural resources, as well as expand and enhance the programs and recreational offerings of the E.B. Lyons Interpretive Center and the Mines of Spain. In this process, IDNR and the task force: identified goals and objectives, defined issues, concerns and constraints; reviewed /updated the existing master plan; analyzed relevant natural and cultural resource components; and developed the draft master plan concept(s). Attached is the master planfor the site. b. What information was made available to the public for review and comment? Did the sponsor provide written responses addressing the comments? Yes ❑ No If Yes, include responses with this PD /ESF submission. ❑ attached. 12/2011 cmz - 18 - DNR Form 542 -0128 Section II - Application This information was circulated electronically through a survey for public review, comment and suggestion, to the email lists of the City and the FOMOS; posted on the web sites of the INHF, IDNR, City and FOMOS. The draft plan and survey also were made available for public review at the E.B. Lyons Interpretive Center and at the Carnegie -Stout Public Library in downtown Dubuque. The survey was used to gather demographic info: zip code, age, stakeholder identification; visitor traits: group size and composition family /friends; visitation history of trip characteristics: duration, sites visited, frequency, activities. The survey allowed for write -in comments, so that IDNR could perform a "content analysis ", which counts the number of times a particular topic appears as an aid in identifying issues. This analysis can aid the planning team to clarify or adjust focus or elements. It also can be used to weigh the strength or weakness of a plan.. The survey also asked respondents to rank the importance of different planning issues regarding the recent addition to Mines of Spain /EB Lyons. Attached are the preliminary results of the 165 survey responses received for the public survey with charts and with comments. Please note that the response of 77% for the third part of question 1 applies to the primary consideration of "establish strong connections between the addition and the Interpretive Center Area" and all of its bullets. 10. How does this proposal implement statewide outdoor recreation goals as presented in the Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) (include references), and explain why this proposal was selected using the State's Open Project Selection Process (OPSP). 11. List all source(s) and amounts of financial match to the LWCF federal share of the project. The value of the match can consist of cash, donation, and in -kind contributions. The federal LWCF share and financial matches must result in a viable outdoor recreation area and not rely on other funding not mentioned here. Other federal resources may be used as a match if specifically authorized by law. Source Type of Match Value IDNR REAP Grant for Acquisition State grant $ 200,000 Friends of the Mines of Spain Donations from Private Fundraising $ 51,600 City of Dubuque General Fund $ 100,000 12. Is this LWCF project scope part of a larger effort not reflected on the SF -424 (Application for Federal Assistance) and grant agreement? Yes ❑ No ® If so, briefly describe the larger effort, funding amount(s) and source(s). Larger effort Amount Source This will capture information about partnerships and how LWCF plays a role in leveraging funding for projects beyond the scope of this federal grant. 13. List all required federal, state, and local permits /approvals needed for the proposal and explain their purpose and status. 12/2011 cmz - 19 - DNR Form 542 -0128 Section II - Application Step 3. Summary of Previous Environmental Review To avoid duplication of effort and unnecessary delays, describe any prior environmental review undertaken at any time and still viable for this proposal or related efforts that could be useful for understanding potential environmental impacts. Consider previous local, state, federal (e.g. HUD, EPA, USFWS, FHWA, DOT) and any other environmental reviews. At a minimum, address the following: 1. Date of environmental review(s), purpose for the environmental review(s) and for whom they were conducted. 2. Description of the proposed action and alternatives. 3. Who was involved in identifying resource impact issues and developing the proposal including the interested and affected public, government agencies, and Indian tribes. 4. Environmental resources analyzed and determination of impacts for proposed actions and alternatives. 5. Any mitigation measures to be part of the proposed action. 6. Public comment periods (how long, when in the process, who was invited to comment) and agency response. 7. Any formal decision and supporting reasons regarding degree of potential impacts to the human environment. 8. Was this proposed LWCF federal action and /or any other federal actions analyzed /reviewed in any of the previous environmental reviews? Yes ❑ No ❑ If so, what was analyzed and what impacts were identified? Provide specific environmental review document references. Use resource impact information generated during previous environmental reviews described above and from recently conducted site inspections to complete the Environmental Screening Form (ESF) portion of this PD /ESF under Step 4. Your ESF responses should indicate your proposal's potential for impacting each resource as determined in the previous environmental review(s), and include a reference to where the analysis can be found in an earlier environmental review document. If the previous environmental review documents contain proposed actions to mitigate impacts, briefly summarize the mitigation for each resource as appropriate. The appropriate references for previous environmental review document(s) must be documented on the ESF, and the actual document(s) along with this PD /ESF must be included in the submission for NPS review. 12/2011 cmz - 20 - DNR Form 542 -0128 Section II - Application Step 4. Environmental Screening Form (ESF) This portion of the PD /ESF is a working tool used to identify the level of environmental documentation which must accompany the proposal submission to the NPS. By completing the ESF, the project sponsor is providing support for its recommendation in Step 5 that the proposal either: ❑ 1. meets criteria to be categorically excluded (CE) from further NEPA review and no additional environmental documentation is necessary CE# (select from pages 23 & 24); or ❑ 2. requires further analysis through an environmental assessment (EA) or an environmental impact statement (EIS) (fill out Part A and B below). An ESF alone does not constitute adequate environmental documentation unless a CE is recommended. If an EA is required, the EA process and resulting. documents must be included in the proposal submission to the NPS. If an EIS may be required, the State must request NPS guidance on how to proceed. The scope of the required environmental analysis will vary according to the type of LWCF proposal. For example, the scope for a new LWCF project will differ from the scope for a conversion. Consult the LWCF Manual for guidance on defining the scope or extent of environmental analysis needed for your LWCF proposal. As early as possible in your planning process, consider how your proposal /project may have direct, indirect and cumulative impacts on the human environment for your type of LWCF action so planners have an opportunity to design alternatives to lessen impacts on resources, if appropriate. When used as a planning tool in this way, the ESF responses may change as the proposal is revised until it is ready for submission for federal review. Initiating or completing environmental analysis after a decision has been made is contrary to both the spirit and letter of the law of the NEPA. The ESF should be completed with input from resource experts and in consultation with relevant local, state, tribal and federal governments, as applicable. The interested and affected public should be notified of the proposal and be invited to participate in scoping out the proposal (see LWCF Manual Chapter 4). At a minimum, a site inspection of the affected area must be conducted by individuals who are familiar with the type of affected resources, possess the ability to identify potential resource impacts, and to know when to seek additional data when needed. At the time of proposal submission to NPS for federal review, the completed ESF must justify the NEPA pathway that was followed: CE recommendation, production of an EA, or production of an EIS. The resource topics and issues identified on the ESF for this proposal must be presented and analyzed in an attached EA/EIS. Consult the LWCF Manual for further guidance on LWCF and NEPA. The ESF contains two parts that must be completed: Part A. Environmental Resources Part B. Mandatory Criteria Part A: For each environmental resource topic, choose an impact estimate level (none, negligible, minor, exceeds minor) that describes the degree of potential negative impact for each listed resource that may occur directly, indirectly and cumulatively as a result of federal approval of your proposal. For each impacted resource provide a brief explanation of how the resource might be affected, how the impact level was determined, and why the chosen impact level is appropriate. If an environmental review has already been conducted on your proposal and is still viable, include the citation including any planned mitigation for each applicable resource, and choose an impact level as mitigated. If the resource does not apply to your proposal, mark NA in the first column. Add any relevant resources (see A.24 on the ESF) if not included in the list. Provide several photos of the area and use a separate sheet to briefly clarify how each resource could be adversely impacted; any direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts that may occur; and any additional data that still needs to be determined. Explain any planned mitigation already addressed in previous environmental reviews. Part B: This is a list of mandatory impact criteria that preclude the use of categorical exclusions. If you answer "yes" or "maybe" for any of the mandatory criteria, you must develop an EA or EIS regardless of your answers in Part A. Explain all "yes" and "maybe" answers on a separate sheet. 12/2011 cmz - 21 - DNR Form 542 -0128 Section II - Application A.

The term "NPS" or "Service" as used herein means the National Park Service, United States Department of the Interior. B. The term "Director" as used herein means the Director of the National Park Service, or any representative lawfully delegated the authority to act for such Director. C. The term "Manual" as used herein means the Land and Water Conservation Fund Grants Manual (NPS -34). D. The term "project" as used herein means a single project, a consolidated grant, a project element of a consolidated grant, or project stage which is subject to the project agreement. E. The term "State" as used herein means the State or Territory which is a party to the project agreement, and, where applicable, the political subdivision or public agency to which funds are to be transferred pursuant to this agreement. Wherever a term, condition, obligation, or requirement refers to the State, such term, condition, obligation, or requirement shall also apply to the recipient political subdivision or public agency, except where it is clear from the nature of the term, condition, obligation, or requirement that it is to apply solely to the State. For purposes of these provisions, the terms "State," "grantee," and "recipient" are deemed synonymous. F. The term "Secretary" as used herein means the Secretary of the Interior, or any representative lawfully delegated the authority to act for such Secretary. Part II - Continuing Assurances The parties to the project agreement specifically recognize that the Land and Water Conservation Fund assistance project creates an obligation to maintain the property described in the project agreement consistent with the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act and the following requirements. Further, it is the acknowledged intent of the parties hereto that recipients of assistance will use moneys granted hereunder for the purposes of this program, and that assistance granted from the Fund will result in a net increase, commensurate at least with the Federal cost - share, in a participant's outdoor recreation. It is intended by both parties hereto that assistance from the Fund will be added to, rather than replace or be substituted for, State and local outdoor recreation funds. A. The State agrees, as recipient of this assistance, that it will meet the following specific requirements and that it will further impose these requirements, and the terms of the project agreement, upon any political subdivision or public agency to which funds are transferred pursuant to the project agreement. The State also agrees that it shall be responsible for compliance with the terms of the project agreement by such a political subdivision or public agency and that failure by such political subdivision or public agency to so comply shall be deemed a failure by the State to comply with the terms of this agreement. B. The State agrees that the property described in the project agreement and the signed and dated project boundary map made part of that agreement is being acquired or developed with Land and Water Conservation Fund assistance, or is integral to such acquisition or development, and that, without the approval of the Secretary, it shall not be converted to other than public outdoor recreation use but shall be maintained in public outdoor recreation in perpetuity or for the term of the lease in the case of leased property. The Secretary shall approve such conversion only if it is found to be in accord with the then existing comprehensive statewide outdoor recreation plan and only upon such conditions deemed necessary to assure the substitution of other recreation properties of at least equal fair market value and of reasonably equivalent usefulness and location. This replacement land becomes subject to Section 6(f)(3) protection. The approval of a conversion shall be at the sole discretion of the Secretary, or his designee. Prior to the completion of this project, the State and the Director may mutually alter the area described in the project agreement and the signed and dated project boundary map to provide the most satisfactory public outdoor recreation unit, except that acquired parcels are afforded Section 6(f)(3) protection as Fund reimbursement is provided. In the event the NPS provides Land and Water Conservation Fund assistance for the acquisition and/or development of property subject to reversionary interests with full knowledge of those reversionary interests, conversion of said property to other than public outdoor recreation uses as a result of such reversionary interest being exercised is approved. In receipt of 12/2011 cmz - 32 - DNR Form 542 -0128 Section III — General Provisions this approval, the State agrees to notify the Service of the conversion as soon as possible and to seek approval of replacement property in accord with the conditions set forth in these provisions. The State further agrees to effectuate such replacement within a reasonable period of time, acceptable to the Service, after the conversion of property takes place. The provisions of this paragraph are also applicable to: leased properties acquired and/or developed with Fund assistance where such lease is terminated prior to its full term due to the existence of provisions in such lease known and agreed to by the Service; and properties subject to other outstanding rights and interests that may result in a conversion when known and agreed to by the Service. C. The State agrees that the benefit to be derived by the United States from the full compliance by the State with the terms of this agreement is the preservation, protection, and the net increase in the quality of public outdoor recreation facilities and resources which are available to the people of the State and of the United States, and such benefit exceeds to an immeasurable and unascertainable extent the amount of money furnished by the United States by way of assistance under the terms of this agreement. The State agrees that payment by the State to the United States of an amount equal to the amount of assistance extended under this agreement by the United States would be inadequate compensation to the United States for any breach by the State of this agreement. The State further agrees, therefore, that the appropriate remedy in the event of a breach by the State of this agreement shall be the specific performance of this agreement. D. The State agrees to comply with the policies and procedures set forth in the Land and Water Conservation Fund Manual. Provisions of said Manual are incorporated into and made a part of the project agreement. E. The State agrees that the property and facilities described in the project agreement shall be operated and maintained as prescribed by Manual requirements. F. The State agrees that a permanent record shall be kept in the participant's public property records and available for public inspection to the effect that the property described in the scope of the project agreement, and the signed and dated project boundary map made part of that agreement, has been acquired or developed with Land and Water Conservation Fund assistance and that it cannot be converted to other than public outdoor recreation use without the written approval of the Secretary of the Interior.

By signing the LWCF agreement, the State certifies that it will comply with all Federal laws relating to nondiscrimination as outlined in the Civil Rights Assurance appearing at Part III -I herein. 2.
