The excavation of the pond within the northwest corner will have no <br /> impact on drainage of adjacent properties. <br /> c. Spoils from the dredging will be placed on upland areas on Lot 3 at a <br /> . minimum 26' setback from the protected Type 1 and 2 wetlands within <br /> the northern portions of Lot 3. <br /> d. John R. Smyth, an Aquatic Scientist with Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik <br /> and Associates, in his report dated� October 25, 1996, makes the <br /> following findings concerning the Type 7 wetland located in the front <br /> yard or southeast corner of applicant's property: <br /> 1) The wetland meets MinRAM High Quality Hardwood Swamp <br /> standards. <br /> • 2) Excavation of this wetland would greatly degrade the system <br /> which exists. <br /> 3) High Quality Hardwood Swamps are not prevalent in �much of <br /> this metro area and should be preserved when possible. <br /> 4) l��inRAM defines a High Quality Hardwood Swamp as having the <br /> following characteristics: <br /> Stands undisturbed or minimally clisturbed by <br /> artificial drainage, grazing, logging, impoundment, � <br /> filling, etc. Seedlings and/or saplings of native <br /> tree species evident indicating regeneration. <br /> Groundlayer composed of native grasses, sedges, <br /> ferns and/or forbs. Box elder, buckthorn, and/or <br /> reed canary grass, if present, each have less than <br /> 10 percent cover. <br /> 5) � The inspection of the wetland confirmed that the wetland <br /> _ community contained predominantly American elm with a <br /> groundlayer dominated by hop sedge and bristle pinkweed. Reed <br /> canary grass and cattail comprise less than 10 percent of the <br /> • wetland and are isolated in one end. .. <br /> . Page 2 of 5 <br />
