The praposed impacts are from the const�uction of the main road within the housing <br /> development along with the loss of hydrology to farmed wetlands as a result of the development. <br /> Replacement is proposed at a 2:1 ratio through project specific replacement that will be on-site <br /> and in-kind as part of a 51-acre landscape restoration that is planned for the site.Of ti�e 51-acre <br /> restoration 1.14 acres of wetland mitigation will be included to meet WCA and COE <br /> replacement standards. <br /> The apglication was noticed to thc Wetland Conservation Act Technical Evaluation Pancl on <br /> February 2,2016.Comments were allowed until April 1,2016.The BWSR representative had <br /> comments of the need for more detail within t�te grading plan,outlet elevations for the wetland <br /> mitigation,pre and post drainage areas,and legal protection of the mitigation.These comments <br /> were addressed in compliance with WCA. Updated plan sheets were sent out showing the <br /> elevations and Qutlet elevation along with the draix�age area The mitigation will be under a <br /> coneervation easement <br /> Financial Assurence is nceded since wetland replacement is not in-advance of wedand itnpacts. <br /> $38,500 has been calculated as conshuction costs at 150%needed for the completion of on-site <br /> mitigation.
