Due to the seasonal nature of wetlands and local hydrological conditions, as well as to expedite our client's time schedule and minimize unnecessary expenses associated with resurveys,we would appreciate a timely review of the wetland boundaries. According to the WCA Rules Chapter 8420.0225 Subp. C, (cross reference MN Stat. Sec. 15.99) typically a decision must be made within 60 days of receiving this request for a type and boundary decision. This review window may be lengthened if the application is determined to be incomplete and the applicant is notified within 15 days of the reviewing agencies receipt of the application materials (i.e. delineation report). In such a case,the 60-day review period should begin once all necessary application materials are made available to the reviewing agency. In addition,the review period may be lengthened if the reviewing agency makes a written request for an extension,providing reasons for the extension. Ultimately, if procedures are followed as required and an agency fails to deny the request, the failure to deny constitutes an approval. Any denial of the request must be made in writing and reasons for the denial must be stated.
