It does not trigger our waterbody crossing rule because it <br /> does not impact the bed or bank. In fact,this is how we recommend that people build bridges if they do not want to <br /> trigger our waterbody crossing rule. <br /> You can see that the"wetland" being filled is not much of a wetland at the moment, and the amount of actual impact is <br /> marginal. <br /> Hope that clarifies MCWD's stance! <br /> Beth Brown <br /> Permitting Technician <br /> Minnehaha Creek Watershed District <br /> ebrown@minnehahacreek.org <br /> 952-641-4504 <br /> MINNERANA CREEK <br /> WATERSHIP DISTRICT <br /> From: Elizabeth Brown <br /> Sent:Thursday,April 16, 2015 5:59 PM <br /> To: 'Melanie Curtis' <br /> Subject: RE: 505 Willow Drive S <br /> Hi Melanie, <br /> I visited the site on Willow Drive this afternoon and do not think the bridge is an issue for MCWD. <br /> However, I did notice that neither of the wetlands on site (delineated in 2008) have buffers established or buffer <br /> monuments in place.We required buffers on these two wetlands for a previous permit and have a recorded declaration <br /> and maintenance agreement for them. Does the City have buffer requirements at this site,as well? <br /> Beth Brown <br /> Permitting Technician <br /> Minnehaha Creek Watershed District <br /> ebrown@minnehahacreek.org <br /> 1 <br />
