MCWD has made its decision regarding the location of the wetland boundary based on the following submissions and chain of events: • December 12, 2005: MCWD receives wetland delineation report form Svoboda Ecological Resources based on conditions at the site on November 29, 2005. • December 22, 2005: MCWD reviews delineation report and determines review of the November 29th boundary will have to wait until 2006 growing season commences based on 2 of the 3 wetland diagnostic characteristics being met in upland areas as indicated in report data sheets and 3`d diagnostic characteristic being obscured by snow cover. MCWD sends letter to delineator and property owner detailing reason for delay in review of November 29th boundary. • Januarv 19, 2006: MCWD receives amendment to December 12tn report based on conditions at the site on January 18, 2006. Delineator has moved wetland boundary further upland. • Januarv 26, 2006: MCWD field reviews January 18'h boundary and confirms wetland boundary as staked on site on January 18'h is accurate.
