While the wetland boundaries that SER has delineated are not official until approved by a WCA <br /> approved local government unit (LGU), SER advises the property owner/developer to refrain <br /> from any filling, draining, or excavating, or any impact to the area SER has delineated as <br /> wetland. No grading or filling in wetland basins should commence until all necessary permits <br /> have been obtained. Violation of wetland regulations may result in substantial civil and criminal <br /> penalties. Local ordinances may regulate wetland modifications such as brush and tree removal <br /> and burning in addition to grading and filling. Depending on the location of the property, buffers <br /> around the wetland may also be protected. Any activities in the proximity of the wetland should <br /> be cleared with appropriate WCA regulatory agencies. It is also advisable to have the wetland <br /> boundary surveyed by a licensed land surveyor. Since the pin flags used along the boundary can <br /> be vandalized or inadvertently knocked over, a GPS survey of the flags will assure the <br /> permanence of the boundary. The client should also be aware that approved wetland boundaries <br /> are typically valid for only three years from the date of approval. <br /> To avoid project delays associated with wetland regulations, it is essential that you acquire <br /> necessary permits from all jurisdictional agencies before initiating activities. A WCA Sequencing <br /> form, a WCA and Army Corps of Engineers Replacement Plan Application form, and a DNR <br /> permit application are among the materials that you may be required to submit if impacts are <br /> proposed for the delineated wetlands. By initiating the permit process as soon as possible, <br /> potential costly delays to the project may be avoided. <br /> Svoboda Ecological Resources 4 3759 Casco Ave <br /> Project Number: 2013-033 Orono,MN <br />
