Wetlands must also hove the three attributes of soils, <br />vegetotion, ond hydrology. All wetlond types ore covered without <br />size restrictions. <br />A v/etland compensotion progrom requiring sequencing must be <br />followed when physical alterations of wetlands result in the pollution <br />of a wetland. Such octivitles are permitted through Section 401 of <br />the Cleon Water Act. The Section 401 Woter Quality Certification is <br />Issued bosed on the water quouty criteria set forth in Section 301 of <br />the Clean Water Act. <br />Under current United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) <br />rules, there ore no exemptions for agriculturoi lend uses. <br />j 2.4 B est Management Practices (BMP s) <br />The protection of existing waterbodies os well os the correction of <br />existing water quolHy problems require the use of opproprtate <br />plonning principles and the consistent appBcotion of BMPs to new <br />developmenfs. The BMPs address the foliowirrg issues In the context <br />of this SWMP: <br />• The control of urban non-point source poiiutonts, <br />• Site planning principles for the control of erosion, pollution, ond <br />sedimentation, and <br />• Surfoce water management practices for the control of water <br />quoiiry. <br />This SWMP adopts and supports the recommendotions outlined In <br />the MPCA's ‘Protecting Wafer Qualify 'n Urban Areas', BVVSR s <br />Otyo/Orvno <br />Dr9ft5uff^\Mgr Management Plan <br />2-9 <br />Goafs and PoSdea
