OCT-14-2004 14.'13 P.03/04 v o Boundary of all wetlands on the property o The location of the area where the excavation has occurred o Location of the spoil pile(with temporary and permanent erosion control plan as stated above) o Wetland bufficxs must be proposed around all wetlands on the property according to the size of the wetland basin as follows: • 0—1 acre wetland L 16.5 foot buffer 1—2.5 acre wetland-20 foot buffer • 2.5-5 acre wetland—25 foot buffer • %5 acre wetland=35 foot buffer • Provide a wetland delineation report • Provide an irrevocable letter of credit,performance bond,or other approved security in the amount of$5,000+$1000/acre to a maximum of$15,000 • Wetland excavation must be in accordance with MN Statute 8420,the Wetland Conservation Act,comply with the criteria in the DNR publication"Excavated Ponds for Waterfowl"(enclosed)and MCWD Rule D • Excavated ponds for wildlife must comply with the following criteria: o Ponds should be irregular shaped and a minimum size of 2500 square feet o Pond depth not to exceed 5 feet and to have an undulating bottom o Ratios of basin side slopes ranging from 3:1 to 10:1 o Location of spoil must be In an upland location found not to be in a public water,wetland,or floodplain o Provide a vegetation restoration plan which includes the disturbed area being seeded to native grasses for a minimum of 150 feet around r1w dugout o Tho reserved organic soils should be spread over the entire excavated area to encourage and support plan growth A replacement plan shall be developed in a ratio of 4:1 for the impacted wetland and shall be constructed in accordance with MN Statute 8420.0530 and 8420.0550 and shall be constructed with o Native vegetation shall be established and shall be native vegetation collected from the region o An organic substrate shall be provided,however organic soils for backfill from wetland dominated by nonnative,invasive species should be avoided o The bottom contours of types 3,4,and 5 wetlands shall be undulating, rather than flat,to provide a variety of water depths,comparable to natural wetlands in the vicinity of the replacement o Sideslopes of created portions of wetlands and graded buffer strips must not be steeper than 5:1,five feet horizontally for every one foot vertically averaged around the wetland.Sideslopes 10:1 and 15:1 are preferred o Created wetlands should have an irregular edge to create points and bays • A replacement plan Is not required for excavation within type 3,4,or 5 wetlands If the excavation does not exceed five percent of the wetland or 14 acre,which ever is less;the project does not have adverse impact on any species designated as endangered or threatened under state or federal law;and the proposed project will provide wildlife habitat improvement according to the design criteria listed above • For excavation in a type 1 or Z wetland: 1. Submit a f ni ion and Value assessment of the wetland prior to excavation and after excavation which demonstrates that the functions and values of this wetland have been Improved with the excavation.This can be demonstrated using the MnRAM routine assessment method 3.0. o Provide a cross section of the wetland area excavated showing the side slopes not greater that 5:1(horizontahvcrtioal) o Provide a revegatation plan for the wetland and wetland buffer area. 2. Provide 1:1 replacement of the wetland in the amount that was excavated.
