We will use an excavator to clear out the shown sections to create more room in the wetland for open water.While we <br /> excavate,we will make sure to watch for any erosion and take erosion control methods.We have three areas to watch for <br /> erosion:The stream that runs through the southwest corner of the wetland,and both sides of the stockpile area (southeast <br /> corner).We will have measures in place to ensure the erosion doesn't affect the areas around it.We will also be stockpiling the <br /> excavated materials onsite.The area can be seen on the map attached. <br /> On top of that we have proposed a 30'buffer between the wetland and the homeowner's yard.Again,this can be seen on <br /> the map that we've attached.We will be placing wetland buffer signs around the area every 100 feet. <br /> The goal of this project is to create an open space for waterfowl to use as a pond.The area has become dominated by <br /> cattails,making it impractical for larger animals to use the space.By creating open water,they should come back and utilize the <br /> pond as a pond.And,the limited area of work will still allow the species that are currently living there to continue to thrive. <br /> This property was delineated as a type 3 wetland in 2008.Although it has since expired,we're requesting that the LGU <br /> honors the delineation for the purposes of this project. <br /> Minnesota Interagency Water Resource Application Form February 2014 Page 4 of 13 <br />
