MINNEHAHA CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT <br /> QUALITY OF WATER QUALITY OF LIFE <br /> Next Steps: <br /> The fill that was brought into Wetland 1 will be removed,the contours will be restored,and the wetland <br /> will be re-seeded with 34-262 Wet Prairie or 34-271 Wet Meadow seed mix or a similar seed mix <br /> approved in writing by MCWD. <br /> Without knowing the exact wetland boundary,there appears to have been fill brought into the Fresh <br /> Wet Meadow portion of Wetland 2. At an unknown time,there was a culvert installed within the Deep <br /> Marsh portion of Wetland 2,which may or may have not altered the hydrology and affected the wetland <br /> boundary. Hans has expressed interest in excavating portions of wetland 2 and doing vegetation <br /> improvements. MCWD staff suggested that Hans work with a Wetland Specialists to make a plan and <br /> apply for the appropriate WCA/MCWD permits prior to any work commencing within the wetland 2 <br /> boundary. In the event that a "wetland restoration plan" is not pursued,then the fill brought within <br /> Wetland 2 will be removed, contours will be restored,and the site will be re-seeded with the same or <br /> similar seed mix as suggested for Wetland 1. Please note that excavation that exceeds the limits of No <br /> Loss/Exemption criteria will be considered an impact and will require a replacement and sequencing <br /> plan. <br /> There were no observed impacts to Wetland 3. <br /> Failure to comply with sediment removal of Wetland 1 and/or the restoration (or sediment removal)of <br /> Wetland 2 shall be documented as WCA violation and will result in a DNR cease and desist order along <br /> with an ordered restoration plan. <br /> No MCWD permit will be required for the sediment removal within wetland 1 as it will not meet the <br /> threshold to trigger the Erosion Control Rule. MCWD staff encourages the use of proper perimeter <br /> control measures to keep sediment from leaving the property. <br /> Please contact me with questions, <br /> -+AKA--N-&C"\Heidi Quinn <br /> Permitting Technician <br /> We collaborate with public and private partners to protect and improve land and water for current and future generations. <br /> 15320 Minnetonka Boulevard,Minnetonka,MN 55345 • (952)471-0590 • Fax:(952)471-0682 • www.minnehahacreek.org <br />
