Responses to the seven comments contained in <br />your letter are provided below: <br />Response to Comment No. 1 <br />Every effort has been made to maximize wetland mitigation on the County Road No. 6 site in <br />Orono. The project will also increase the wetland diversity of the above site by creating <br />emergent and submergent wetland habitat as well as deep water habitat. Due to site <br />constraints, additional wetland mitigation will be performed at the Deer Hill Road site in <br />Medina, which your com.ment letter correctly noted is in the same subwatershed as the County <br />Road No. 6 site. Your comment letter also noted that the wetland in which the project is <br />proposed is not regulated by the City of Orono. <br />Response to Comment No. 2 <br />Fish barriers will prevent upstream movement of all fish over a certain size. This part of the <br />project is required by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and is supported by <br />local fishing groups and the City of Long Lake. <br />N:^li3>*>4'2W'Woid\l>4GOW75.Lu-AES-IJv <br />bU®o Recycled • 30*« Posi coosumef
