Maximum Score: 2 <br /> 4.2.1.11 Commercial Uses � , <br /> Wetland dependent crops include wild rice and cranberries. Other agricultural uses of wetlands may <br /> include hay, pasture/a azing, or row crops such as soybeans or corn. Wetland dependent crops rely � <br /> on the wetland hydrology for some part of their Iife cycle, and thus, are a more natural fit for wetland <br /> use. Haying and grazing are less intrusive agricultural activities than planting and harvesting row <br /> crops and can be utilized more casually when hydrologic conditions permit. Some row crops can be <br /> planted in Type 1 wetlands after spring flooding has ceased and still have adequate time to grow to <br /> maturity. _ <br /> Maximum Score: 1 <br /> 4.2.2 Additional tnformation <br /> In addition to the primary wetland functions and values, wetlands were assessed for three other <br /> characteristics to assist in future wetland management. <br /> 4.2.2.1 Wetland Restoration Potential <br /> . The potential for wetland restoration is determined based on the ease with which the wetland could <br /> be restored, the number of landowners within the historic wetland basin,the size of the potential <br /> restoration area, the potential for establishing buffer areas or water quality ponding, and the extent <br /> and type of hydrologic alteration. <br /> Maximum Score: 1 <br /> 4.2.2.2 Wetland Sensitivity to Stormwater and Urban Development <br /> The sensitivity of the wetland to stormwater and urban development is determined based on guidance <br /> within the Storm-Water and Wetlands:Planning and Evaluation Guidelines for Addressing Potential <br /> Impacts of Urban Storm-Water and Snow-Melt Runoff on Wetlands, State of Ivlinnesota Storm-Water <br /> Advisory Group, June, 1997. <br /> \\fred\wp�23�27\D06�Reporu\Final Repori\Wetland mgmt�lan_dftO11iO3.doc 4-16 <br />
