1 1. 1 <br /> Y <br /> Examples where a Level 1 Routine method may be appropriate for WCA purposes: <br /> 1. An activity-based WCA exemption that applies to certain wetland types regardless of the size of <br /> � the wetland. For example, agricultural activities in a type 1 wetland planted with annually seeded <br /> crops six of the last ten years prior to 1991, in accordance with MN Rule 8420.0420, Subp. 2A, are <br /> exempt. In this case, once cropping history is verified for the area in question, it is usually <br /> sufficient to simply determine the wetland type., If sufficient evidence to determine wetland type <br /> is available through a Level 1 review, a site inspection may not be necessary to determine <br /> eligibility for the exemption. <br /> � °�--- ° Evaluation of agricultural activities in a type 1 <br /> ; <br /> wetland that was planted 6 of last 10 yrs <br /> y prior to 1991(MN Rule 8420.0420,Subp. 2A) <br /> _ 'ri <br /> Y <br /> r <br /> } <br /> i ir <br /> '� -�.� <br /> � ¢ <br /> � � <br /> i <br /> � <br /> R +�� <br /> 2. A project in an area where uplands and wetlands are clearly distinguishable, indicators of each are <br /> readily identifiable, and the activity is located in an area that is obvious upland according to off- <br /> site resources. This type of determination must be evaluated on a case by case basis and requires <br /> experience, expertise, and knowledge of the local landscape. An example would be a project on a <br /> hill in an area with distinct upland characteristics where specific soils, topography, and other <br /> information have consistently been reliable in identifying upland and wetland areas. <br /> " Project footprint in an area mapped as <br /> r�.. a ,..K� �:_..H"... k �y'�.,SC�,iya.y<..."�i <br /> � �` � ; non-hydric soil and topographically <br /> � ;�.. - <br /> '' higher than the nearby wetland complex. <br /> � <br /> x <br /> � <br /> . ; <br /> :, <br /> � <br /> s ;; <br /> z <br /> . ; <br /> 3 <br /> �'"�'a.. � <br /> � ���:'. <br /> �: <br /> ; <br /> .. . _ ..��m-.:.-K ���� � , _ . �_.� <br /> z <br />
