If <br />i <br />« <br />■ <br />■ <br />f <br />■ <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />During construction it is recommended that proper erosion and sediment control measures be <br />implemented to prevent excess sediment from entering wetlands. <br />The establishment of an undisturbed vegetation buffer zone is recommended along the upland side <br />of Natural and Pristine wetland margins to act as a filter for those higher quality wetlands. This <br />filter reduces the nutrient and sediment load of sheet flow stormwater runoff that enters »he <br />wetland. <br />Since Ag/Urban wetlands in their current state are already degraded, a higher level of protection <br />may not be necessary. These basins are ideal candidates for restoration. <br />Utilized water bodies may not need buffer zones due to the fact that they are designed for purposes <br />such as cattle watering and stormwater retention. Erosion and sediment control during <br />construction is recommended. <br />Site-Specific <br />Since most of the basins on this site are Ag/Urban basins found in agricultural fields, the quality <br />of the basins is not as high as those found in non-cropped areas. Basins 6 and 7 are of higher <br />quality and are worth protecting at a higher level due to their more naniral condition in the maple - <br />basswood forest area. <br />There are several large green ash trees located in the wooded portion of the Basin 7 that we would <br />recommend be left standing due to the uncommon occurrence of naturally occurring green ash <br />specimens this size in this area. <br />'f-'; <br />1
