I thought I would pass it along <br /> and hopefully we can proceed with the next step in getting our permit going. Thanks, Pierre. <br /> Pierre Raisanen <br /> Stellar Trim, LLC. <br /> www.stellartrim.com <br /> Cel I: 320-282-5049 <br /> From: cbach@minnehahacreek.org <br /> To: pierrer 1@hotmail.com <br /> CC: BEidem@minnehahacreek.org; MCurtisC�ci.orono.mn.us <br /> Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:32:57 -0500 <br /> Subject: MCWD Permit Requirements for Proposed Deck at 100 Chevy Chase Drive, Orono <br /> Pierre, <br /> After further analysis, we have determined that a wetland delineation for the proposed project area will NOT be needed <br /> to meet District requirements. The rationale behind this change is the realization that fill resulting from housing projects <br /> (e.g. deck construction) is only considered wetland fill under the Wetland Conservation Act(WCA) and the District's <br /> Wetland Protection Rule if the deck posts or pilings result in 1) bringing the wetland into a nonaquatic use, or 2) <br /> significantly alter the wetland's function and value according to the language in the WCA rules. Based on the <br /> information you have provided, it does not appear that the proposed project would result in either of these two <br /> scenarios, and therefore would not be regulated under the WCA and would not trigger the requirements of our Wetland <br /> Protection Rule. <br /> Your permit application was received on October 10, 2012, and it is currently incomplete. If the deck posts or pilings are <br /> proposed within the floodplain, a permit is required under the District's Floodplain Alteration Rule. In order for us to <br /> determine whether this permit is needed, please submit a site plan showing property lines, delineation of the work area, <br /> existing elevation contours of the work area, and the 100-year high water elevation (961'). All elevations must be <br /> reduced to NGVD (1929 datum). You can e-mail the survey directly to Brett or submit in hard copy form. <br /> Please feel free to call or e-mail either Brett or I with any questions. I apologize for the confusion. <br /> Regards, <br /> Catherine Bach <br /> District Technician <br /> Minnehaha Creek Watershed District <br /> 18202 Minnetonka Boulevard <br /> Deephaven, MN 55391 <br /> Direct: (952) 641-4504 <br /> Main Office: (952)471-0590 <br /> Fax: 952-471-0682 <br /> 1 <br />
