<br />Minnesota Interagency Water Resource Application Form February 2014 Page 2 <br /> <br />The public works department provides a large range o f services to the residents of Orono including providing utilities such as <br />storm sewer, sanitary sewer, and water, maintaining streets, water treatment, leaf and grass drop-off and compost sites, and <br />property inspections. The current public works building is undersized and has no room to expand at its current site. It is also <br />located next to a residential area that is not compatible with the use of a public works facility. Because of this, the current <br />proposed site was selected by the City for the new publics work building. It is centrally located within Orono and will be able to <br />provide adequate support to residents. <br /> <br />The public works building, parking area, and material storage areas will be constructed on the east parcel contained within t he <br />project area. Stormwater management features, which include sand filtration basins, will be constructed on the west parcel in <br />an upland area east of Wetland 3. Utilities will be installed throughout the project area. <br /> <br />Tree removal will include 222 trees and is proposed to take place in May of 2022 within MnDOT ROW and throughout May and <br />June for the remainder of the site. <br /> <br />NHIS coordination is currently taking place with the DNR regarding threatened and endangered species. <br /> <br />Wetland impacts total 0.41 acres. Sequencing for mitigation is as follows: <br /> <br />• On-site mitigation was not a viable option due to spatial constraints. The project is being built within two parcels, with <br />one parcel being fully utilized for the public works facility, and the upland portion of the other parcel being utilized for <br />stormwater treatment; these constraints do not allow for a mitigation site to be constructed within the project <br />corridor. <br />• There are no wetland banks within the same minor watershed. <br />• Credits will be drawn from within the same major watershed No. 20 – Mississippi Metro <br />Bank # 1722 in Anoka County is in the same major watershed and Bank Service Area (BSA 7) as the wetland impacts. The <br />needed wetland credits will be drawn from this bank at the required 2:1 ratio.
