CONCLUSION <br /> Conclusion <br /> One wetland was identified and delineated in accordance with the 1987 United States Army Corps of <br /> Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual within the proposed project area located at 80 Luce Line Ridge <br /> Orono, MN. <br /> Wetlands in the project area may be regulated by several agencies at the local, State, and/or federal level. <br /> Activities which may potentially impact those wetlands identified within this report should be discussed in <br /> advance with the appropriate regulating agency in regards to potential permit requirements. The Local <br /> Government Unit (LGU) responsible for implementing the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act at this <br /> project location is the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. <br /> The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District requires vegetated buffers around all regulated wetland areas. <br /> Wetland buffers must meet the standards specified by the watershed district for any project that is <br /> regulated under WCA. <br /> ��1�t� �,o��. � �� �`��r����, �° ��� �� �, °���,;i�. <br /> Manage 3 20 feet 16 feet <br /> Manage 2 30 feet 24 feet <br /> Manage 1 40 feet 34 feet <br /> Preserve 75 feet 67 feet <br /> Based on the Minnesota Routine Assessment Methodology (MnRAM) wetland functional assessment, <br /> Wetland 1 would be classified as Manage 2, and would require a 30 foot buffer(Appendix F) <br /> Although the drainage area west of Wetland 1 currently meets criteria for wetlands, based on the data <br /> collected in the field, historic aerial review, and timeline of events given by the landowner, it is likely that it <br /> is not a historical wetland and therefore not regulated under WCA. In addition, the area appears to be <br /> isolated and therefore not likely to be regulated by the Federal Clean Water Act. <br /> This wetland investigation meets the standards and criteria described in the 1987 United States Army <br /> Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual all applicable subsequent guidance for an on-site <br /> determination and the results reflect the conditions present at the time of the delineation. <br /> WETLAND INVESTIGATION 7 <br /> 80 LUCE LINE RIDGE <br /> ORONO,MINNESOTA <br /> AuGusT 2014 <br />
