Proposed Barge Terminal Expansion, Packer River Terminal, Inc., South St. Paul, Dakota County, Minnesota.

Packer River Terminal, a subsidiary of Twin City Barge and Towing Co., proposes to expand an existing barge terminal facility in South St. Paul, Minnesota. It proposes to fill approximately 22 acres of wetlands to increase the capacity of the terminal to store and handle an estimated additional 635,000 tons per year. The wetland area, serving water quality, food chain production, general habitat, nesting and rearing habitat and flood storage functions would be lost, and the habitat value of adjacent wetlands would be reduced.
