, ,�. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> ., SER completed a[I on-site delineations based on the three required technical criteria as outiined by <br /> the 1987 Manual: ihe presence Qf hydric soils, a predominance af hydrophytic vegetatinn, and <br /> indicators of wetland hydrology in each basin.The site visit portian of the wetland deiineation was <br /> completed on November 20,20�9. <br /> SER personnel examined the subject property for areas meeting jurisdictional wetland criteria during <br /> the site visit and delineated the edge af one basin as bein�jurisdictional wetland(Figure 5). Detailed <br /> sails,vegetation and hydrology data for Wetland ] is provided in the data sheets ofThe Technical <br /> Documentation Section. Data was nat collected for the shoreline area because wetland did not ex'rst <br /> anywhere along that area.A set of ful!-scale figures is given in the figures section. <br /> RECOMME�IDATIOI�TS <br /> Activities whicfi impact or pe�tentially impact wettands are cunently regulated at several levels of <br /> ' government. In Minnesota,the two primary jurisdictions are covered at the staxe and federal levels <br /> by the provisions of the following legisiative actions. <br /> ➢ State jurisdiction by the Wetland Canservation Act af 1991 (WCA)administered <br /> by the WCA Laca1 Governmental Unit(LGU). <br /> � Federal jurisdiction by the Clean Water Act of 1972 and subsequent amendments. <br /> Wetland pratectiQn is impl�mented by the Corps of Engineers iGorps)with permit <br /> certification issued by the Environmemal Protection Agency. <br /> While the wettand boundaries that SER has delineated are not officiai until approved by a WCA <br /> approved (acal government unit(LGU),SER advises the pro�rty owner/developer to refrain from <br /> any filling, draining, or excavating,or any impact to the area SER has delineate�i as wetland. No <br /> grading or filling in wetland basins should commence until all necessary permits have been obtained. <br /> Violation of wetland regulations has resultec� in substantial civil and criminal penalties. Local <br /> : ordinances may regulate wetland modificatians such as brush and tree removal and burning in <br /> addition to grading and fitling. Depending on the locatian of the pr+ap�rty, buff'ers around the <br /> wetland may also be protected. Any activities in tke proximity of the wetland should be cleared with <br /> appropriate WCA regutatory agencies. It is also advisable to have the wetland boundary surveyed by <br /> a licensed land surveyor. Since the pin flags used along the boundary can be vandalized or <br /> inadvertently knocked over,a GPS survey ofthe fla�s will assure the permanence of the boundary. <br /> The client should aEso be aware that approved wetland baundaries are typically valid for only three <br /> years from the date of approval, <br /> Svuboda Ecoiogical Re+ources 24b5&2485 N.Shore Drive <br /> Project No.:2009-053-03 g Crc�wn Construetion <br />
