� , atypical climatic conditions be taken into account when wetland delineations are conducted and approved through the Wetland Conservation Act. It is also worth noting that one of the parameters examined during the survey,soils,are relatively resistant to annual fluctuations in climate; it typically takes more than a year or two for nonhydric soils to develop hydric characters,and vice-versa.The soils on either side of the boundary at this site were respectively hydric and nonhydric. But what I find most upsetting about the inspection report is the implication that I changed the lakeshore. As you can see from the attached pictures(best if you zoom in above the steps),one taken in February 2015 an the other in May 2015,the property when I purchased it h�d�rass pl�nL�cl to the top of the rack wall. Granted if'�s fi�f��ir��frt��rt r�lect as the hc�use was�bandoned for tvuv yea�s,as ra��as the c�lc�er couple did not maintain the yarrt f�r�rn�ny ye�r�. Since the area was previously planted with grass we will permit it to be planted with plain grass seed rather than a native mix. Sod, however, is not permitted as it interferes with normal buffer plant growth and soils. Please also note that the buffer cannot be mowed, per Section 7(a)of the Wetland Protection rule.A�d wF�ile it is rtc�t c1e�r fE'+�t1�the pict�r��s mc�st of the s�r�d was;�uereti with silt frc�m�tte�igt�wat�r t�f 2fl14,the prior steps did lead dc��rr�t��k��+ct�=, Adding additional sand on top of what you have described as natural,though atypical, silt accumulation interferes with normal buffer and wetland plant growth and soils and is not permitted.Once again it was in neglect, but it existed for almost 40 years. This was confirmed by neighbors. In summary, I did not change the shoreline, I specifically instructed my Landscaper, Chris Wagener of W Landscapes,to repair what already existed. In closing, I strongly feel that the noncompliance letter, based off 1 Hydric Test,a test that would not have resulted if the construction project would have continued as remodel, but most importantly,the shoreline was restored/refurbished to what has existed for almost 4 decades before it fell into disrepair, is based on incomplete information. I look forward to discussing and resolving as quickly as possible. I hope to hear from you today.
