While the wetland boundaries that SER has delineated are not official until approved by a WCA <br /> approved local government unit (LGU), SER advises the property owner/developer to refrain <br /> from any filling, draining, or excavating, or any impact to the area SER has delineated as <br /> wetland. No grading or filling in wetland basins should commence until all necessary permits <br /> have been obtained. Violation of wetland regulations has resulted in substantial civil and <br /> criminal penalties. Local ordinances may regulate wetland modifications such as brush and tree <br /> removal and burning in addition to grading and filling. Depending on the location of the <br /> property, buffers around the wetland may also be protected. Any activities in the proximity of <br /> the wetland should be cleared with appropriate WCA regulatory agencies. It is also advisable to <br /> have the wetland boundary surveyed by a licensed land surveyor. Since the pin flags used along <br /> ' the boundary can be vandalized or inadvertently knocked over, a GPS survey of the flags will <br /> assure the permanence of the boundary. The client should also be aware that approved wetland <br /> , boundaries are typically valid for only three years from the date of approval. <br /> To avoid project delays associated with wetland regulations, it is essential that you acquire <br /> , necessary permits from all jurisdictional agencies before continuing activities. A WCA <br /> ' Sequencing form, a WCA and Army Corps of Engineers Replacement Plan Application form, <br /> and a DNR permit application are among the materials that you may be required to submit if <br /> impacts are proposed for the delineated wetlands. By initiating the permit process as soon as <br /> possible,potential costly delays to the project may be avoided. <br /> Svoboda Ecological Resources 25 Myrtlewood Rd. <br /> Project No.:2011-034 5 Steven&Anne Ryan <br />
