flatter grades,and a minimum 30'upland buffer,with a preference to increase it to 40'were discussed as potential mitigations.In summary,the TEP concluded that they would like more information to determine if the alternatives considered met the sequencing requirements to justify the wetland impact as it appeared that there were other upland sites available to avoid a wetland impact. The TEP agreed that a second onsite TEP meeting would be helpful in analyzing the alternatives considered. ISG stated that they would conduct the estimated tree survey to demonstrate that the upland areas to avoid wetland impacts provide a greater ecosystem function than Wetland E. A tree survey for the proposed site and three alternatives sites dated April 8th,2019 was submitted to MCWD on April 10th,2019. Based on the survey and accompanying narrative submitted by ISG,the proposed site and location of Wetland E has twenty-eight trees with four of the trees with a 24" DBH or greater and no tree removal would be needed to access the site. Site Alternative 1 located south of North Shore Drive,had five trees surveyed with no tress with a 24" DBH or greater. Based on the aerial map provided,there would most likely be additional tree removal to access the site. Site Alternative 2 had thirty-eight trees and ten of the trees had a 24"DBH or greater and is would most likely require additional tree removal to access the site. Site Alternative 3 located northeast of the residential home had thirteen trees surveyed,three with a DBH of 24"or greater. On April 24th,2019 MCWD requested a second site TEP meeting onsite to be schedule on May 7th,2019. ISG,on behalf of the applicant,requested that there not be a second TEP as the 60 day deadline for the LGU to issue a NOD had expired on April 9th,2019 and the replacement application should be approved by default. MCWD received the WCA application W19-01 on February 8th,2019. The application was considered complete upon receipt of the materials with the NOA issued on February 25th,2019. The TEP met on March 14th,2019 and the 15 day comment period expired on March 18th,2019. MCWD did not send out a 60 day extension request,therefore the application was approved by default on April 9th,2019 with the condition that the bank credits be purchased from the Mader Wetland Bank as advised in the NOA.
