Approximately 0.19 acre (8,341 SF) of wetland will be impacted as the <br /> result of site grading for the proposed stormwater pond. <br /> Imnact Rectification <br /> The wetland impacts for the proposed development are not temporary and therefore cannot <br /> be rectified at the completion of the project. � <br /> Impact Reduction and Elimination Over Time <br /> Best Management Practices (BMP),which conform to City/County/State erosion and <br /> sedixnent control specifications, will be employed during construction activities. Silt fencing <br /> will be placed along the upland side of all wetland boundaries as a measure to eliminate the <br /> potential of sediment entering the wetlands. Disturbed areas will be revegetated within 14 . <br /> days of final grading. <br /> MN]EtAM Assessment � <br /> MFRA completed a MNR.AM assessment of Wetland 1 and Mitigation Basin B. Based on <br /> the results of the assessment,which are attached to this report,the proposed mitigation basin <br /> will exhibit greater wetland functions and values than that of the proposed impact area. <br /> Sequencin�Flexibilitv <br /> Based on the MNRAM assessment of the proposed impact areas and mitigation basins, <br /> sequencing flexibility is applicable to the proposed project. According to Chapter 8420.0520, <br /> Subpart 7a of the WCA, sequencing flexibility can be implemented if alternatives have been <br /> considered and the proposed replacement wetland is certain to provide equal or greater <br /> � functions and public values. With the provided alternatives and the MNR.AM assessment, <br /> which demonstrates that the replacement wetland will indeed exhibit greater wetland <br /> functions and values,the applicant would like to apply sequencing flexibility toward the <br /> proposed project. <br /> WETLAND MITIGATION PLAN <br /> . The applicant is proposing to provide Type 2 wetland mitigation on the subject property(adjacent to <br /> Mitigation Basin B),which meets the in-kind and in-place criteria and requires a 2:1 replacement <br /> . ratio. Because the currently proposed project includes on-site wetland mitigation adjacent to a <br />
