The WCA requires a <br />15 business day Notice of Application period before a Notice of Decision can be issued. Additionally, the <br />wetland buffers and buffer monumentation will be required to be declared against the property in the <br />form of a maintenance declaration between the District and the property owner. <br /> <br /> <br />As the proposed concept sketch will result in a significant portion of floodplain disturbance.
