l� <br /> 1� a. (1-a) In regard to policy. No net loss of wetland will occur we <br /> `� simply are asking to convert some of the area outside the <br /> delineated wetland to and open water wetland retention area. <br /> ,� b. (1-b) Wetland quality and quantity will in fact increase due to the <br /> added area of lowland and the possibility to further retain water <br /> � during rain events. In addition the plan to restore the existing <br /> �► wetland by removing the reed canary grass through generally <br /> t� accepted herbicide applications as recommend by BWSR and <br /> � then reseeding the wetland area and reseeding the newly <br /> developed open water wetland as well as surrounding buffer and <br /> �� additional prairies. Restoration and Re-vegetation plan will <br /> follow recommendations set forth by BWSR and as documented <br /> l, jJj 1� in the Restoring &Managing Native Wetland&Upland <br /> � Vegetation as described by Robert L. Jacobson. Additional <br /> I planting of trees and/or shrubs may be added to the perimeter of <br /> the delineated wetland and the new excavated areas. Please see <br /> � seeding descriptions below <br /> ` <br /> c. (1-g) As fore mentioned the homeowner is restoring impacted <br /> �j wetlands by previous owners. <br /> Custom Design d. (2) It is the goal of the homeowner to improve and restore areas <br /> & Installation of the impacted wetland. The change is not affecting any area of <br /> the current. <br /> e. (3-c) The current wetland to be excavated is overrun with reed <br /> canary grass and is currently not holding and dispersing normal <br /> rain events. The on site drain is helping to alleviate the water <br /> load from the area described; however, it is pushing more water <br /> down stream which could possibly be overloading that wetland. <br /> Excavation of an open water wetland would allow for more water <br /> (952)473-6649 Tel. storage before water is pushed down stream via the existing drain <br /> (952)473-6661 Fax tile. Excavation of this open water wetland may also help limit <br /> the any adverse affects the cunent degraded and impacted <br /> wetland may,be having on the down stream watersheds. <br /> f. (4-a) The homeowner understands the buffer zone is an <br /> important part of the wetland. The homeowner is offering to <br /> help increase the wetland via restoring presently impacted areas, <br /> but would ask for cooperation on the mater of the buf�er zone. <br /> Specifically on the NW side of the wetland so as not to incur any <br /> hardship as to loosing lawn to the most current delineation. <br /> Currently the lawn e�ends into the buf�'er zone&the wetland. <br /> MWCD and City of Orono guidelines ask for a wetland buffer <br /> P.O.Box 508 zone of 16.5'. The creation of this size buffer outside the <br /> Long Lake,MN 55356 recently delineated wetland would essentially eliminate the side <br /> 6 <br />
