NOTES:
BACKGROUND:
The City of Rosemount adopted a Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan (CWMP)
in 1998 to establish wetland management strategies and objectives in relation to land
development Wetland management plans have become a common tool for use by
local governments to help implement regulations designed to meet the needs of the
community and the regulations of state agencies The 1998 plan was developed with
participation of the Department of Natural Resources, the Dakota County Soil and
Water Conservation District, the Board of Water and Soil Resources, City staff, and
members of the community The information within the document includes wetland
functional assessments and classifications, management strategies and policy, and
wetland impact and replacement requirements The plan is designed to maximize the
benefit that surface waters can provide to the environment and community
In response to updated wetland rules and regulations, and on -going land development,
City staff initiated the updating of the 1998 Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan
With support of City Council, staff began the amendment process in August of 2004
The amendment includes new language and policies that have been developed to
address wetland issues affecting land development with respect to the needs and
concerns of the community, such as, wetland conservation, conservation of natural
areas, and public education The amendment is also for the purpose of recognizing
new legislation affecting wetland management In addition, new policy was written to
address the protection and preservation issues of the higher quality wetlands through
functional assessments and greater replacement requirements The plan also
recognizes the efforts of other programs, such as the Wetland Health Evaluation
Program, the Greenway Project, and Citizens Assisted Monitoring Program (CAMP)
coordinated by the Friends of the Mississippi River, Department of Natural Resources
and the Metropolitan Council of Environmental Services for preservation and protection
of wetlands and natural areas These programs are explained in detail in the draft plan
It was made clear by the City's Board of Water Soil Resources (BWSR) representative
that this amendment would be the first of its kind A template was prepared by BWSR
that assisted City staff in the process City staff formed a wetland task force consisting
of members of the community that would initiate the discussions concerning wetland
management and protection A draft plan was prepared by City staff based on the
discussions of this group The plan was submitted to BSWR and adjacent local
government units for review and comment Comments have been received and
addressed accordingly A summary of the comments and staff responses are included
with this executive summary.
The overall purpose of the Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan is for the City to
ensure that natural resources are preserved and protected and to maintain a level of
protection that meets the goals of the community A section of the plan has been
dedicated to processing of wetland permits when impacts are proposed to local
wetlands Other language has been added to address the post construction and public
education issues such as buffer zones and wetland monuments that impact the future
functionality and quality of wetlands The plan illustrates other programs and efforts
utilized to preserve the quality and functionality of local wetlands adopted, although the
City does not participate in all at this point in time,
SUMMARY:
The amended Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan provides the City with
greater flexibility to implement wetland regulations The plan was written in recognition
of the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) and the City of Rosemount's Comprehensive
Stormwater Management Plan and shall serve as a supplement to these documents for
land development The plan is a collaboration of regulatory policy derived from both
state and local jurisdiction for the purpose of protecting and preserving the water
resources within the Rosemount community
Staff will provide a brief presentation of the amended Comprehensive Wetland
Management Plan and will be seeking Council comments and input for incorporation
into the final document Following completion of the final document, Staff is intending
to bring the final plan forward to City Council at a public hearing on April 5, 2005 for
consideration and approval

Dear Mr Donnelly,
The Board of Water and Soil Resources Metro area staff have reviewed the amended Comprehensive
Wetland Management Plan (CWMP) for the City of Rosemount We have several suggestions, most of
which are wording changes or clarifications We offer the following comments
1 The definition of Impact should be changed to include excavating (as defined on pages 9 and 11)
The plan should also clarify that excm ation for stormw ater treatment ponds is considered an
impact in all wetland types
2 The top of page 10, the plan requires that functional assessments be performed by City staff or an
approved Wetland specialist We seek clarification of "hat constitutes an "approved wetland
specialist
3 Concerning wetland delineations (page 10), we recommend adding a statement that all wetland
delineations must be done according to the 1987 Corps of Engineers Manual for Delineating
Wetlands Based on our experiences elsewhere, it may also be helpful to add specific
requirements that all delineation reports include complete data sheets, are done during the
growing season, and will be considered incomplete if received at a time of the year not conducive
for proper review In addition you could consider a provision that may requite monitoring or
additional information for late- season delineations based on lack of hydrology alone
4. The top of page 11 includes the following statement "It is strongly encouraged that
wetlands categorized as Manage II or Manage III within this plan are used for wetland
mitigation when feasible We recommend clarifying that existing wetlands (including
exempt wetlands) are not eligible for mitigation credit, except as otherwise provided in
8420 0541
5 The last sentence of the Replacement for Road Projects section (page 11) seems to
suggest new streets associated with land development could be eligible for BWSR
mitigation WCA specifically excludes "new roads or roads expanded solely for
additional traffic capacity lanes We recommend clarifying this sentence

Concerning the Wetland Application Process and Timeline section on pages 11 and 12
This section lists the comment period as "up to 15 or 30 calendar days This should be
clarified that 15 days is the minimum comment period We also do not recommend
limiting the comment period to less than is required by state rule, since you may find it
desirable to have a longer comment period on some complex projects
Consider either re- wording or taking out the Hydrology, Soils, and Vegetation paragraphs
on page 13 For example, the reference to "two weeks in an average year" for hydrology
is inaccurate The second paragraph on this page could clarify that the hydrology,
vegetation, and soils criteria needed to be present before the area could be detennmed as
wetland "according to the 1987 Corps of Engineers Manual for Delineating Wetlands
S. The last sentence under the Database Information section (page 14) could be changed to
indicate that the GIS map shows all of the wetlands in Rosemount that were identified in
the inventory process, not necessarily "the entire wetland system We recommend
clarifying that the inventory may not necessarily include all wetlands, and that the GIS
map does not constitute a wetland delineation
9. The last sentence of the Wetland Committee paragraph could be changed to read that the
committee "will exist to oversee implementation and develop policy recommendations
concerning the CWMP "or something similar to be clear that the City is the LGU
10 Under Wetland Classification (page 16), Both Manage I and Manage II wetlands are
defined as having a functional score between 280 and 420 It appears the scoring system
needs to be revisited for all management categories This could be done by looking for
natural breaks in the functional assessment scoring results, or by applying some type of
value criteria
I 1 We recommend requiring installation of buffer monuments in redevelopments as well as
new developments (page 20)
12 Under Wetland Replacement (page 21), mitigation for Manage III wetlands is at a 2 1
ratio "or as determined by the water resource engineer The intent of this statement is
unclear In order to maintain the overall 2 1 replacement ratio (with mrmmum 1 1 NWC)
required by WCA, we recommend removing or clarifying this statement
13 The CWMP includes a map of the DNR Greenway Project If feasible, wetlands within
this area could receive a higher ranking based on their value to the greenway, and buffer
widths compatible with wildlife habitat requirements could be required
14 Table 1 includes a column on Stormwater Treatment. This is unclear For example,
Manage II wetlands are listed for "Sediment treatment Does this mean that runoff must
be treated for sediment removal before outlet into Manage II wetlands, or that Manage II
wetlands can be used for sediment treatment? Likewise, "Some sediment pretreatment'
is listed for Manage III wetlands Is there information available for applicants as to how
much "some" is?
15 Section 10 -1 -5 -2 of the Ordinance adopts the CWMP by reference and requires that all
"stormwater management plans" be consistent with it This should be changed to
wording that includes all wetland related applications
16 Section 10 -1 -6 -5 of the Ordinance is a provision for waiver by the City Council This
section should be eliminated as it pertains to the CWMP
17 Section 10 -1 -12 of the Ordinance pertains to wetlands This section should be much
more detailed as to the requirements discussed in the CWMP For i eplacement, buffer,
sequencing and other specific requirements in the plan (especially those different than
WCA), the Ordinance needs to be more descriptive than "as specified in" or "prescribed
by The Ordinance is where the specific requirements outlined in the plan are lard out
and adopted as the official controls of the LGU
18 Section 10- 1 -12 -1 of the Ordinance states that "Every applicant for a subdivision
approval or a grading penmit who proposes wetland disturbing activities must Does
this exclude those disturbing wetlands not as part of a subdivision approval or grading
permit? Also, what is meant by "wetland disturbing activities" Should this be changed
to those proposing to "impact" a wetland?
Thank you for the opportunity to review this amended CWMP If you have any questions, please
contact meat (651)296 -6057 or the above address We look forward to working with you
through the rest of the plan approval process

Re: Summary of comments and responses to draft Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan
The following is a list of comments received from the Board of Water and Soil Resources in
regards to the agency's review of the City of Rosemount's draft Comprehensive Wetland
Management Plan Each item is identified by page, or section number, of the draft plan
Subsequent to each comment is the response by City staff that addresses the issues of concern
The definition of Impact should be changed to include excavating (as defined on
pages 9 and 11). The plan should also clarify that excavation for stormwater
treatment ponds is considered an impact in all wetland types.
The definition of "Impact" will be changed to include "excavation" as a defined impact.
Language will be added to Section XI that clarifies the provisions of constructing a
stormwater treatment pond within a wetland area
2. The top of page 10, the plan requires that functional assessments be performed by
City staff or an approved wetland specialist. We seek clarification of what
constitutes an "approved wetland specialist."
The "approved wetland specialist" will now be referred to as "a wetland professional who
has been trained in wetland functional assessments" City staff is inclusive to this
description
3. Concerning wetland delineations (page 10), we recommend adding a statement that
all wetland delineations must be done according to the 1987 Corps of Engineers
Manual for Delineating Wetlands. Based on our experiences elsewhere, it may also
be helpful to add specific requirements that all delineation reports include complete
data sheets, are done during the growing season, and will be considered incomplete
if received at a time of the year not conducive for proper review. In addition you
could consider a provision that may require monitoring or additional information
for late- season delineations based on lack of hydrology alone.
The suggested language revisions will be added to Section VIII D 3 for Wetland
Delineations The section will read as follows
"Wetland delineations must be performed in accordance with the 1987 Corps of
Engineers Manual for Delineating Wetlands Delineations are to be performed by a
wetland professional who has been trained in wetland delineations Wetland delineations
must be performed during the growing season, and will be considered incomplete tf
received at a time of year not conducive for proper review
Definition of "Growing Season" will be based on the growing season as it is defined in
the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual The definition will be added
to the definition section of the plan
4. The top of page 11 includes the following statement: "It is strongly encouraged that
wetlands categorized as Manage 11 or Manage III within this plan are used for
wetland mitigation when feasible." We recommend clarifying that existing wetlands
(including exempt wetlands) are not eligible for mitigation credit, except as
otherwise provided in 8420.0541.
This clarification will be added to Section D.5 for Wetland Replacement
5. The last sentence of the Replacement for Road Projects section (page 11) seems to
suggest new streets associated with land development could be eligible for BWSR
mitigation. WCA specifically excludes "new roads or roads expanded solely for
additional traffic capacity lanes." We recommend clarifying this sentence.
The following statement will be removed from Section D 6
"BWSR mitigation is not eligible for new streets associated with land development
unless the local government authority determines the additional streets improve or benefit
public transportation or resolve an existing public transportation concern
At the beginning of Section D 6 it clearly states that new streets built for the purpose of
public safety and not for the purpose of resolving traffic issues may be used for BWSR
mitigation
6. Concerning the Wetland Application Process and Timeline section on pages 11 and
12: This section lists the comment period as "up to 15 or 30 calendar days." This
should be clarified that 15 days is the minimum comment period. We also do not
recommend limiting the comment period to less than is required by state rule, since
you may find it desirable to have a longer comment period on some complex
projects.
Clarification will be added to Section VIII. E regarding the "minimum" 15 day comment
period The City has elected to apply a 30 day comments period for Wetland
Applications This provision will remain the same
7. Consider either re- wording or taking out the Hydrology, Soils, and Vegetation
paragraphs on page 13. For example, the reference to "two weeks in an average
year" for hydrology is inaccurate. The second paragraph on this page could clarify
that the hydrology, vegetation, and soils criteria needed to be present before the
area could be determined as wetland "according to the 1987 Corps of Engineers
Manual for Delineating Wetlands"
The sections for Hydrology, Soils and Vegetation will be removed and referenced in the
Wetland/Surface Water Inventory sub section as parameters for wetland identification
8. The last sentence under the Database Information section (page 14) could be
changed to indicate that the GIS map shows all of the wetlands in Rosemount that
were identified in the inventory process, not necessarily "the entire wetland system."
We recommend clarifying that the inventory may not necessarily include all
wetlands, and that the GIS map does not constitute wetland delineation.
Suggested language revisions will be made to the Database Information sub section
9. The last sentence of the Wetland Committee paragraph could be changed to read
that the committee "will exist to oversee implementation and develop policy
recommendations concerning the CWMP..." or something similar to be clear that
the City is the LGU.
Suggested language revisions will be made to the Wetland Committee sub section
10. Under Wetland Classification (page 16), Both Manage I and Manage II wetlands are
defined as having a functional score between 280 and 420. It appears the scoring
system needs to be revisited for all management categories. This could be done by
looking for natural breaks in the functional assessment scoring results, or by
applying some type of value criteria.
The following language will be added to Section XI
"At the time of the initial wetland inventory, a number of wetlands were identified as
special value wetlands based on the assessment information conducted in the f eld
Assessment specific criteria included floral diversity and integrity, water quality
protection, fish and wild life habitat, flood /stormwater attenuation, recreation and
education, groundwater recharge and discharge, and shoreline protection Wetlands
whose assessment was high in any one, or a multiple, of these categories were classified
as Manage I
11. We recommend requiring installation of buffer monuments in redevelopments as
well as new developments (page 20).
Recommendation is noted
12. Under Wetland Replacement (page 21), mitigation for Manage III wetlands is at a
2:1 ratio "or as determined by the water resource engineer." The intent of this
statement is unclear. In order to maintain the overall 2 :1 replacement ratio (with
minimum 1:1 NWC) required by WCA, we recommend removing or clarifying this
statement.
The language "or as determined by the engineer" will be removed from Section XII
Wetland Replacement
13. The CWMP includes a map of the DNR Greenway Project. If feasible, wetlands
within this area could receive a higher ranking based on their value to the
greenway, and buffer widths compatible with wildlife habitat requirements could be
required.
Comments noted
14. Table 1 includes a column on Stormwater Treatment. This is unclear. For example,
Manage II wetlands are listed for "Sediment treatment" Does this mean that
runoff must be treated for sediment removal before outlet into Manage II wetlands,
or that Manage II wetlands can be used for sediment treatment? Likewise, "Some
sediment pretreatment" is listed for Manage III wetlands. Is there information
available for applicants as to how much "some" is?
The stormwater treatment criteria will be revised to include specific language that
addresses stormwater treatment for influent stormwater only Stormwater treatment
provisions will be clarified to refer only to the stormwater flowing into or being
discharged to the subject wetland
15. Section 10 -1 -5 -2 of the Ordinance adopts the CWMP by reference and requires that
all stormwater management plans" be consistent with it. This should be changed
to wording that includes all wetland related applications.
Suggested changes will be made to this section of the plan
16. Section 10 -1 -6-5 of the Ordinance is a provision for waiver by the City Council.
This section should be eliminated as it pertains to the CWMP.
Section 10 -1 -6 -5 will be removed from the ordinance
17. Section 10 -1 -12 of the Ordinance pertains to wetlands. This section should be much
more detailed as to the requirements discussed in the CWMP. For replacement,
buffer, sequencing and other specific requirements in the plan (especially those
different than WCA), the Ordinance needs to be more descriptive than "as specified
in" or "prescribed by." The Ordinance is where the specific requirements outlined
in the plan are laid out and adopted as the official controls of the LGU.
The "Wetlands" section of the ordinance will be changed in the recommended manner
The Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan itself is adopted by reference, Sec 10 -1-
5-2, of the Surface Water Management Ordinance
18. Section 10- 1 -12 -1 of the Ordinance states that "Every applicant for a subdivision
approval or a grading permit who proposes wetland disturbing activities must..."
Does this exclude those disturbing wetlands not as part of a subdivision approN al or
grading permit? Also, what is meant by "wetland disturbing activities Should
this be changed to those proposing to "impact' a wetland?
The following language change has been made to Section 10- 1 -12 -1, "A project
proposer whose improvements impact a wetland must
"Wetland Disturbing Activities" was removed for clarification purposes.

RE Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan
City of Rosemount, Minnesota
Dear Mr Donnelly.
Thank you for the opportunity to review the city of Rosemount's (City) Comprehensive Wetland
Management Plan (CWMP) for water quality issues regarding stormwater and wetland concerns
Specifically we appreciate the opportunity to offer comments on areas where components of this
CWMP may not conform with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) Minn R 7050,
regarding water quality standards
We recommend that for the purposes and tasks of inventorying wetlands that are tributary to
303(d) listed Impaired Waters, it may be helpful to view the 303(d) Impaired Waters List and
maps found at MPCA's Minnesota's Impaired Waters and Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL)
Web page located at. http /www pea state inn us /water /tmdl /index html
The definitions and references Part V of the CWMP defines Best Management Practices (BMPs)
as state approved and published practices, however, no reference is grven to the publication of
these BMPs We recommend the CWMP refer to the publication of these BMPs in the
handbook, Protecting Water Quality In Urban Areas March 1, 2000, by the MPCA
In Part V Definitions and references, growing season is defined as.
Part of the year when crops and native plants germinate The average temperature is above the
temperature at which crops and native plants will germinate and continue to grow.
However, the definition for growing season that is given in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland
Delineation Manual (1987 Cis Manual) is
The portion of the year when soil temperature at 19 7 inches below the soil surface are higher
than biologic zero (5 degree C) (U S Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service
1985) For ease of determination this period can be approximated by the number of frost free
days (U S Department of the interior 1970)
The 1987 Corps Manual goes on to note that estimating starting and ending dates for the growing
season are based on 28 degrees F air temperature threshold at a frequency of five (5) years in

These definitions for growing season in the plan differ from the 1987 Corps Manual It is not
clear why the CWMP developed a specific definition of growing season The Wetland
Conservation Act (WCA) (8420 0110, subp 52 D) and the CWMP under the stated wetland
definition in Part V, along with all other state and federal agencies, have agreed to use the 1987
Corps Manual for wetland delineation
Therefore, the development of a unique and different definition that could have a significant
impact upon the determination of adequate hydrology for wetland delineation may cause
confusion and discrepancies in the common method for delineation of wetlands Unless there are
arguable reasons to maintain a unique definition of growing season for the City we recommend
the definition match the 1987 Corps Manual
In Part ZX Technical Elements, Hydrology the plan identifies Hydrology as.
The area has to have water within 12 inches of the surface or be inundated (covered with water)
for at least two (2) weeks in an average year The water could be present at the time of inspection
or the evidence of water, such as water marks, could well be used
However, the definition for Hydrology given in the 1987 Corps Manual is
Hydrology must occur with in the major portion of the root zone (usually with in 12 inches of the
surface) and are inundated or saturated to the surface continuously for at least 5 percent of the
growing season in most years (50 percent probability of recurrence)
These definitions differ It is not clear why the CWMP document developed a definition of
hydrology The WCA (8420 0110 sub 52 D) and the CWMP under the Wetland definition in
Part V, along with all other state and federal agencies, have agreed to use the 1987 Corps Manual
for wetland delineation Therefore, the development of a unique and different definition that
could have a significant impact upon the determination of adequate hydrology for wetland
delineation may cause confusion and discrepancies in the common method for delineation of
wetlands_ Unless there are arguable reasons to maintain a unique definition of hydrology for the
City, we recommend the definition match the 1987 Corps Manual
In Part XI Management, Wetland Buffers, the CWMP describes the requirements for
conservation easements, covenants, recorded deed restriction or other permanent restrictions that
have been used in many communities to prohibit lot owners from altering the buffer zone on
these lots However, experience has been that Citywide enforcement of the buffer restriction on
each of the individual private lot owners can be burdensome and difficult if lot owners desire to
mow these areas to expand their back yard We recommend the City consider requiring the
wetland boundary and the appropriate buffer be designated public property under the public
ownership /management to assure the maintenance of the buffer and to avoid the difficulties of
enforcing these restrictions on individual private lot owners in the future

A REQUIREMENTS FOR DISCHARGING TO WETLANDS
If the project has any stormwater discharges with the potential for significant adverse
impacts to a wetland (e g conversion of a natural wetland to a storm water pond), the
Pennittee(s) must demonstrate that the wetland mitigative sequence has been followed in
accordance with D 1 or D 2 of tlus appendix
If the potential adverse impacts to a wetland on a specific project site have been addressed by
permits or other approvals from an official statewide program (U S Army Corps of Engineers
404 program, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, or the State of Minnesota
Wetland Conservation Act) that are issued specifically for the project and project site, the
Permittee may use the permit or other determination issued by these agencies to show that the
potential adverse impacts have been addressed For the purposes of this permit, demmimus
actions are determinations by the permitting agency that address the pr4ject impacts, whereas
a non jurisdictional determination does not address project impacts
If there are impacts from the project that are not addressed in one of the permits or other
determinations discussed in Appendix A, Part D 1 (e g permanent inundation or flooding of
the wetland, significant degradation of water quality, excavation, filling, draining), the
Permittee must minimize all adverse impacts to wetlands by utilizing appropriate measures
Measures used must be based on the nature of the wetland, its vegetative community types
and the established hydrology These measures include in order of preference
a Avoid all significant adverse impacts to wetlands from the project and post project
discharge
b Minimize any unavoidable impacts from the project and post project discharge
c Provide compensatory mitigation when the Permittee determines that there is no
reasonable and practicable alternative to having a significant adverse impact on a
wetland For compensatory mitigation, wetland restoration or creation shall be of the
same type, size and whenever reasonable and practicable in the same watershed as
the impacted wetland
We would recommend the CWMP identify or seek to identify any previously drained or
degraded wetlands in the plan area that would be appropriate for targeting future restoration
either as part of any wetland restoration, opportunities or the target for compensatory mitigation

In Part XV Other programs, Table 1 identifies the stormwater treatment required for the
different Management Classes, The Preserve class requires upstream sediment and nutrient
treatment and maintaining existing hydrology while the Manage I, II and III classes require
gradients of less treatment for Management Classes I, II, and III This table specification for
gradients of lesser treatment for stormwater may not be sufficient to meet the treatment
requirements of the MPCA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System NPDES)
Stormwater Permit The basic requirement, where the NPDES Permit is applicable, is that the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (S WPPP) must provide treatment for the runoff from the
new impervious surfaces to be treated by wet sedimentation basins, infiltration/filtration systems,
regional ponds, a combination of these practices, or by approved alternative methods described
in the permit (see the NPDES Stormwater Permit, specifically Part III C for details, copy
available http /www pea state nin us /publications /wg- stmi2 -51 doc The CWMP allows for
lesser treatment prescribed in the table for discharge to w ctlands in Manage I, II, and III classes
that may not be sufficient to meet these requirements of Part III C of the NPDES Permit We
recommend that the CWMP's immmum requirements for stormwater treatment in the Table I
reflect the NPDES requirements necessary for all wetlands that are considered waters of the state
by Minn Stat 115 01, subd 22, as follows
Waters of the state "Waters of the state" means all streams, lakes, ponds, marshes, watercourses,
waterways, wells, springs, reservoirs, aquifers, irrigation systems, drainage systems and all other
bodies or accumulations of water, surface or underground, natural or artificial public or private,
which are contained within, flow through, or border upon the state or any portion thereof
By this definition all wetlands, of any management classes defined by local plans, are protected
by water quality standards under the NPDES Permit In addition to the above, we recommend
the CWMP require an ev aluation to determine if the new generated hydraulic bounce created in a
wetland receiving the discharge of treated stormwater may adversely impact the particular
wetland Refer to Figure N -6 of the publication Storm -Water and Wetlands Planning and
Evaluation Guidelines for Addressing Potential Impacts of Urban Storm -Water and Snow -Melt
Runoff on Wetlands (June 1997)(see online copy at
http /iwww pea state mn uspublications /reports /wq- strml -07 ridf
Part ev: Wetlands This part states that when non -ag cult: ral surface water bodies are
initially formed they will come into the CWMP as part of the utilize category; however, a utilize
category is not defined or explained We recommend the utilize category be explained This
part also states that wet areas created by human activity not intended to produce a pond or
wetland shall not become part of this CWMP This appears to reflect the incidental wetland
exemption m WCA It should be noted in the plan, however, that even if an "incidental" wetland
is exempted or is non Jurisdictional under the WCA Program or under the Corps 404 Program, if
that wetland is considered waters of the state under Minn Stat 115 01, subd 22, then the MPCA
water quality standards of Minn R 7050, and specifically Minn R 7050 0186, would apply to
impacts to that wetland under NPDES Permit requirements See Appendix A of the NPDES
Permit for details

I. Introduction
The City of Rosemount's Comprehensive Wetland Management and Protection Plan CWMPP) was
developed in conformance with the provisions of Minnesota Rules 8420 0650 for the purpose of
establishing a policy to preserve the health and value of City wetlands The CWMPP is a unique tool
designed to•
Utilize a consistent classification to identify wetlands
Establish methodologies for assessing wetland quality, values, and functions
Develop methodologies for evaluating potential land use impacts on wetlands to determine
compatible and incompatible land uses
Establish wetland protection measures
Adopt mitigation measures to compensate for the loss of wetland functions due to land use
impacts
Establish local wetland policy supported by existing federal, state, and regional permitting
requirements
This document provides the City with the ability to address accurately the current issues associated with
the critical aspects of wetland mitigation and management The CWMPP is designed to protect and
maintain the functionality of wetlands and other natural water resources within the City of Rosemount
through regulatory policy and public education.
The CWMPP provides greater flexibility and control over wetland management and protection to meet
the specific needs and goals of the community. The plan was developed in recognition of the City of
Rosemount's 2020 Land Use Plan and the 2002 Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan. This
document is written in recognition of the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) and shall serve as a
supplement to this legislation.

H. Executive Summary
The Rosemount C WMPP is an inventory/assessment of wetlands in Rosemount combined with a Plan
and Ordinance designed to maximize the benefit that surface waters can provide to the community A
wetland inventory has been undertaken (See Appendix B) The inventory consists of detailed technical
data on each wetland Wetlands were assessed for quality and functionality based on the information
gathered in the field Functional scores are included with the wetland inventory Each wetland has been
mapped and included in the Cit}'s Geographic Information System (GIS) The functional assessment
information contained within this document consists of the previously performed field evaluations and
assessments conducted by City staff in the development of the 1998 plan
Wetlands have been prioritized for management based on the assessed functional score. This
information gives City staff the ability to make an informed decision on what water resources are
important and should be protected from for future urbanized growth and development Wetlands with
the highest value were assigned the most aggressive management and protection strategies.
Past and present land development has influenced the administration of the CWWP since the adoption
of the plan in 1998 Since then, a number of issues have been brought to the attention of City staff that
affect wetland mitigation and management These issues have been handled administratively by City
staff, motions by Rosemount City Council or through Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) discussions.
The City has become concerned with the ability to enforce such administration without a policy and
procedure adopted as ordinance by City Council In response, staff has elected to amend the 1998
CWMPP to address the outstanding and recurring issues associated with wetland impacts and
management New policies and provisions were discussed with the wetland committee and City staff.
This CWMPP will be amended as determined necessary by the City. Plan amendments will also be
conducted as required by the governing agencies
Page 5
III. Background
According to the Metropolitan Council, the City of Rosemount is expected to be one of the top ten
growth cities in the metropolitan area between 1995 2020. Land development has put great pressure
on the quality and benefits associated with the City's surface water resources The total wetland area in
Rosemount covers about 1,832 acres, or about 8% of the City About 1,174 of these acres are associated
with the Mississippi River corridor Most of the remaining 658 acres include about 400 other surface
water bodies in Rosemount which are small to medium sized pothole wetlands lying within the City's
northwest corner Here a swath of the Wisconsin Age, St Croix Moraine has left behind a hilly terrain
with many potholes and small enclosed watersheds Large tracts of this area are yet to be developed, but
are seen as prime locations for residential housing Just north across Rosemount's border within the
City of Eagan lies the Lebanon Hills Regional Park which takes advantage of this interesting terrain for
education and recreation.
The fieldwork conducted in 1997 and 1998 as a part of the CWMPP, focused on the undeveloped
Municipal Urban Service Areas (MUSAs) identified in the 2020 Land Use Plan. Although these
properties have a greater density of wetlands and surface waters than other areas of the City, they are
expected to experience significant development and have the highest potential for wetland impacts The
1998 CWMPP and ordinance was in effect before much of the development pr47ects in Rosemount,
allowing the City to protect and preserve the natural water resources to the fullest extent feasible on the
property being developed.
The City has applied the CWMPP policies on all land development in the City of Rosemount since the
adoption of the plan in 1998 The plan provides a clear outline of the City's expectations concerning
wetland management and protection. The City has been able to achieve a "No Net Loss' of wetland
acreage since the insertion of the CWMPP into the formal review process Buffer monuments have
contributed to the public education portion of the CWMPP Buffer areas themselves have increased in
overall area and vegetation density Wetland monitoring provides the City with technical data on
mitigation sites The data are reviewed to ensure that the appropriate wetland type and functionality is
attained. The City's 1998 Erosion Control policy has helped to prevent soil erosion and deposition
impacts to wetlands adjacent to construction.
This plan amendment addresses the following issues:
Public Education
Erosion Control
Functional Assessments and Re- Assessments
Wetland Classification Appeals
Wetland Mitigation Regulations and Procedure
The objectives are to enhance surface water quality and functionality by integrating wetland
management and protection by the provisions of this document and the Wetland Conservation Act.
Page 6
IV. Purpose and Need
Wetland management and protection was predominately accomplished through site specific permitting
actions of various regulatory agencies The purpose of a CWMPP is to provide the local government
with the authority to rule on wetland impacts, and implement regulations based on the needs of the
community The CWMPP was also designed to provide information to land developers and the public
regarding the amount, characteristics, and value of local wetlands and surface water This C WMPP
exists for the purpose of optimizing the City's surface water resources as provided under the Minnesota
Wetland Conservation Act The goals of this plan are to.
Determine the quantity and quality of the wetland resources in Rosemount
Map wetlands at a scale appropriate for local planning purposes
Maintain data for use by residents and developers
Focus limited resources in the most effective direction
Solve chronic wetland management problems
Identify key educational areas
Achieve no net loss in the quantity, quality, functionality, and biological diversity of
Rosemount's existing wetlands
Increase the quantity, quality, functionality. and biological diversity of Rosemount's wetlands by
enhancing diminished or drained wetlands
Avoid direct or indirect impacts from activities that destroy or diminish the quantity, quality, and
biological diversity of wetlands
Replace wetland values where avoidance of activity is not feasible and prudent
Optimize management of City surface water and wetland by integrating all surface water related
management plans and ordinances.
To identify existing and potential problems or opportunities for protection, management, and
development of water resources and related land resources in the county
To develop and implement a plan of action to promote sound management of water resources in
the City

near the surface or the land is covered by shallow water. For purposes of this Plan wetlands
must
(1) Have a predominance of hydric sods;
(2) Be inundated or saturated by surface water or groundwater at a frequency and duration
sufficient to support a prevalence of hydrophytic vegetation typically adapted for life in
saturated soil conditions, and
(3) Under normal circumstances, support a prevalence of hydrophytic vegetation.
B The wetland size is the area within its boundary The boundary must be determined according to
the United States Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual (January 1987) The
wetland type must be determined according to United States Fish and Wildlife Service Circular

VIII. Wetland regulations
Wetland regulation involves federal, state, and local agencies including the Board of Soil and Water
Resources, Department of Natural Resources, Watershed Districts, Army Corps of Engineers, and Local
Government Units Notification is provided to each agency in the event of wetland related impacts The
following items describe the role and responsibility of each agency.
A. US Army Corps of Engineers
The US Army Corp of Engineers (COE) regulates the discharge of dredged or fill materials
to wetlands and other water bodies through Section 404 of the Clean Water Act provided that
there is a surface water connection to navigable waters Any impact to a navigable water or
wetland or impact that is connected to navigable waters, including filling, draining or
excavating may require a permit from the COE Wetland delineations are also subject to
COE approval Depending on the size and extent of the wetland impact, the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) maybe involved in certifying the COE permit For more
information about the COE regulations, the area COE project manger can be contacted
at (651) 290 -5015 or information can be obtained from the COE website at
www m usace army mil
B. Department of Natural Resources
The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has jurisdiction over Public Waters and
Wetlands as depicted on the DNR Public Waters Inventory maps The DNR has
jurisdiction over Public Water and wetlands to the Ordinary High Water Elevation (OHWE)
or to the top -of -bank for streams The OHWE is determined by the DNR Any impact to
a Public Water or Wetland may require a permit from the DNR. The DNR Area
Hydrologist can be contacted for more information at (651) 772 -7910 or information can be
obtained from the DNR website at www dnr state mn.us/waters
C. MPCA
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) water quality standards applicable to wetland
protection are contained in Minnesota Rules 7050 Water quality standards are applicable to
all wetlands of the state Sequencing mitigation requirements of Minn Rule 7050 0186
apply to all wetland alterations that are permitted or certified by the MPCA as described
below
The NPDES /SDS permit program is a delegated federal permit issued under the
responsibilities and authorities contained in Minnesota Statutes Chapter 115 Minnesota
Rule 7050 0186 requires a sequencing evaluation to avoid, minimize, and mitigate wetland
impacts in the issuance of NPDES /SDS permits, mcludmg issuance of the general
Construction Storm Water NPDES permits. If a project includes a physical wetland
alteration caused by draining. filling, excavation, or inundation of the wetland and that
impact is not addressed in either the US Army Corps of Engineers 404 permit, the
Department of Natural Resources permit, or the Wetland Conservation Act permit, then
mitigation compliance with MN Rule 7050.0186 must be demonstrated For the purposes of
the MPCA NPDES permit, de minimis determinations by another permitting agency that
address the project impacts are recognized by the MPCA However, a non-jurisdictional
Page 11
determination by another permitting agency does not address project impacts and therefore
does require the project proposer to demonstrate that it meets the NPDES permit conditions
and Minnesota Rule 7050 0186.
In the past, 7050.0186 requirements were often applied during the issuance of Section 401
Water Quality Certification which is part of the issuance process of the US Corps of
Engineers 404 permit The 401 Water Quality Certification program is an element of the
Federal Clean Water Act and has been delegated to the MPCA Under this program, the
MPCA reviewed all federal permits including Clean Water Act Section 404 permit
applications for compliance with state water quality standards primarily contained in
Minnesota Rule 7050 The MPCA can approve, deny, or waive 401 certification If denied,
the federal permit, usually the US Corps of Engineers 404 permit, cannot be issued. The
MPCA is currently not implementing the Section 401 program on a regular basis and nearly
all certifications are being waived This action does not eliminate, waive, or vary the
applicant's responsibility of complying with all water quality standards and requirements
contained in Minnesota Rules 7050 In addition. this waiver action does not waive MPCA's
authority to take necessary actions, including enforcement actions, to ensure that the
applicant and the project's construction, installation, and operation comply with water quality
standards and all other applicable MPCA statutes and rules regarding water quality
D. Local Government Unit
The Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) is a state law that was passed in 1991 and has been
subsequently amended (Minn Laws CH 354, Minn. Statute 103G 222 -2373 and other
scattered sections). The Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) publishes MN Rule
8420 in accordance with the Wetland Conservation Act laws B WSR's role is to assist the
Local Government Units (LGUs) in the implementation of the WCA and to be a member of
the Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP).
The WCA is administered by the Local Government Units (LGUs) The City of Rosemount
is the LGU for the WCA within the City's political boundary The City can issue or deny
permits depending on whether or not the project is in conformance the WCA and the
requirements of this plan
The intent of the WCA is to achieve a "No Net Loss" of wetlands in Minnesota. Therefore,
the WCA prohibits filling, draining, and excavating of wetlands in some areas unless the
activity is exempt or wetlands are replaced by restoration or creation of wetland of at least
equal public value.
1. Wetland Impact and Replacement Application
When filling or draining any wetland or excavating in the permanently or semi
permanently flooded areas of a type 3, 4, or 5 wetland, or excavation greater that 6
feet in any wetland is anticipated as a part of a project, an application must be
completed by the project proposer and submitted to the City These applications are
contained within Appendix C If wetland impacts are unavoidable, a wetland
mitigation plan must accompany the application as outlined within this plan An
application fee may apply.
Page 12
2. Wetland Functional Assessment
For new land development, the City requires a wetland functional assessment for
wetlands identified on the project site Functional assessments will be performed by
City staff or an approved wetland specialist with the use of the most current version
of MNRAM. Field work will be conducted during the growing season from May I'
through October I' for the calendar year
A The City may conduct a functional assessment for wetlands adjacent to the project
site if the following apply-
The wetland is down gradient of the project site
The project has significantly changed the surface water runoff conditions
(seasonally flooded wetlands)
The wetland extends beyond the project boundary
City staff determines it is feasible and relative to the project or provisions of
this plan
3. Wetland Delineation
For any site development activities within the City of Rosemount, the City requires
the developer to submit a wetland delineation report that identifies the location and
the extent of any wetlands present on the site. Wetland delineations are to be
performed by a wetland professional who has been trained in wetland delineations.
Delineations will be subject to field verification by City staff, the Technical
Evaluation Panel (TEP) and /or the US Army Corps of Engineers It is recommended
that City staff review wetland delineations prior to plan development and /or
application submittal
A Wetland delineations maybe required on wetlands adjacent to the proposed
project site subject to the conditions outlined in Section XIII. D 2 A
4. Wetland Sequencing
Sequencing must be provided as a part of an application for wetlands categorized as
Preserve, Manage I, Manage II, and Manage III An applicant who proposes to
impact a wetland identified in the CWMPP must adhere to the wetland Sequencing
Standards outlined in Minn. Rules 8420 0520 in the Wetland Conservation Act
(WCA). The applicant may submit a sequencing evaluation with the wetland impact
application or apply for a preliminary sequencing determination from the Local
Government Unit (LGU) The determination of a complete sequencing evaluation
will be made by the LGU and/or Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) assigned to the
project For a comprehensive description of the Sequencing standards, see Mum.
Rules 8420 0520 in the WCA.
5. Wetland Replacement
Once sequencing has been completed in conformance with this plan and it has been
determined that wetland impacts are unavoidable, the lost functions and values of the
Page 13
wetland must be replaced Replacement of lost functions and values must be in
conformance with the Wetland Replacement section of this plan
Wetland replacement should be located within the project site. If this is not feasible,
replacement locations should be within the same sub watershed within the City It is
strongly encouraged that wetlands categorized as Manage lI or Manage III within this
plan are used for wetland mitigation when feasible
Wetland replacement may be completed in the form of New Wetland Credit (NWC)
or through a combination of NWC and Public Value Credit (PVC) as provided in the
Wetland Replacement section of this plan For a comprehensive description of NWC
and PVC, see Minn Rules 8420 0540 in the Wetland Conservation Act
6. Replacement for Road Projects
Through the WCA, wetland impacts that occur due to road improvement projects that
address safety issues and are not undertaken solely to accommodate additional traffic
capacity by the City or County as the local road authority are eligible to be replaced
by BWSR as outlined in Minn Rules 8420 0540 Subp 4 (5) (6) and Subp 5 Impacts
need to be avoided and minimized to the greatest extent feasible Notification to
BWSR of the intent to use BWSR mitigation is required through application process
and/or annual reporting by the City Applications can be found in Appendix C.
B WRS mitigation is not eligible for new streets associated with land development
unless the Local Government Authority determines the additional streets improve or
benefit public transportation or resolve an existing public transportation concern
WCA Exemptions
The WCA exemption standards are covered in MN Rule 8420.0122 and are included
only by reference to this plan
E. Wetland Application Process and Timeline
When filling or draining any wetlands or excavation in the permanently or semi
permanently flooded areas of a Type 3, 4, or 5 wetland or excavation greater than 6 feet for
any wetland is anticipated as part of a project, an application must be completed by the
project proposer and submitted to the City These applications are contained in Appendix C.
If wetland impact is less than 10,000 square feet, the City will send a summary and Notice of
Application of the project within 10 days of receipt of a complete application to the TEP, the
DNR, and anyone who has requested this information Ifwetland impact is greater than
10,000 square feet, the City will send a Notice of Application and copy of the application
within 10 days of receipt of the application to the TEP, Watershed Management
Organization, the DNR, and anyone who has requested such information The TEP,
Watershed District, DNR, and other agencies shall have up to 15 or 30 calendar days to
comment on the project
Once the comment period has ended, the City will make a decision on the application within
Page 14
60 days of receiving a complete application in accordance with Minn. Rules 8420 0230 Subp
2 If the 60 day process cannot be accommodated due to the timing of the preliminary plat
process the applicant will be informed Generally applications will be approved or denied
during the preliminary plat process Once a decision is made the City will mail a Notice of
Decision and Findings and Conclusions to all who received a summary or copy of the permit
application. The City's decision is then effective and the project can commence provided
that replacement of the wetland impacts occurs before or concurrently with the wetland
impact and provided all other permits from other agencies have been obtained There is a 30
day appeal process in MN Rule Chapter 8420 The applicant can begin work during this
appeal window at its own risk If the LGU's decision is appealed, work on the project would
be suspended until the appeal process is resolved
The project proposer can appeal the City's decision This appeal must be made to the Board
of Water and Soil Resources within 30 days after the date on which the Notice of
Decision is mailed Minn Rule 8420.0250 can be consulted for further information on
appeals.
This wetland management plan has been developed to be in conformance with the WCA Any
future changes m the WCA would supersede the requirements outlined in this plan.

IX. Technical Elements
Wetland /Surface Water Inventory
Wetlands were identified based on instructions in the Minnesota Wetland Delineation Field Guide
Included in field documentation is notation on hydrology, size, vegetation and soils, several
photographs, and Dakota County topographic half section map locations
This field reconnaissance was carried out in 1997 and 1998 by the City's Water Resources Engineer
with assistance from mterns trained and supervised by the former The database was setup using the
National Wetland Inventory (NWI) compiled in 1987 using aerial photography The database was then
modified with any changes found by field inspection during the spring, summer and fall of 1997 and
spring of 1998 Wetlands found by field inspection that were not listed in the NWI have been added
Wetland determinations were arrived at using the three defining factors for a wetland, Hydrology,
Vegetation, and Soils All three categories needed to be satisfied before an area could be typed as a
wetland
Hydrology
To satisfy the hydrologic component, the area has to have water within 12 inches of the surface or be
inundated (covered with water) for at least two weeks in an average year The water could be present at
the time of inspection or the evidence of water, such as water marks, could be used as well
Soils
Wetland soils, called hydric soils, were determined using the Munsell Soil Color Charts Hydne soils
are soils that show a characteristic dull or low chroma color due to the reduction of iron in the soil
When soils are saturated for significant periods, gleyed conditions can result. Gleyed soils can form due
to the lack of oxygen in the soil which, in turn, reduces the iron thus making the soil blue -green When
soils are saturated intermittently "mottles" will form These mottles are usually rust or brown in color
and appear from the introduction of oxygen which oxidizes the iron The process that forms wetland
indicative soils takes years of continuous reducing conditions which make soil a strong and resilient
indicator
Vegetation
Water tolerant vegetation or hydrophytic vegetation is the third factor in determining a wetland Plants
were categorized during field inspection using the Wetland Plants and Plant Communities of Minnesota
and Wisconsin written by the US Army Corps of Engineers
Field Methods
Various resources were utilized both in the office and in the field to determine possible wetland sites
Initially, 1991 topographic maps were used in conjunction with the NWI map to locate wetlands in the
City Next, 1991 aerial photographs were viewed to locate low and possible water holding areas. The
last step in the office reconnaissance was to check the local soils map for hydric (wetland) soils After
Page 16
these preparatory steps were taken, the field work was undertaken. All areas were covered on foot, and
low areas or areas with one of the three wetland indicators (hydrology, soils, and vegetation) were
tested. Areas that tested as wetlands were documented on field data sheets as well as sketched onto
topographic maps for approximate representation of size Photographs were taken of the wetland sites
as well Precise delineations of wetlands are left to be completed by property owners, as the need arises
A list of DNR surface waters was generated from the field work and subsequent research. Table 2
represents the DNR surface waters identified within the City of Rosemount The list was derived from
the Public Waters Inventory map and information provided by the local DNR hydrologist.
Database Information
Using the information collected during field work, wetlands were categorized using the Fish and
Wildlife Service (FWS) and NWI classification systems This information was then entered into the
wetland database The database shows Rosemount's wetland number, size, FWS type, DNR number,
and other relevant information This information is directly linked to the Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) map which sbows the entire wetland system in Rosemount.
Geographic Information Systems Map
Polygon coverage using the program Arcview was linked to the tabular data in the Microsoft Access
Database with a common identifier. Polygons representing the shape of the wetlands were drawn using
contour and parcel coverages as a backdrop The overall process was used to create a digital map that
can be accessed with ease to locate wetlands throughout the City of Rosemount Maps can be generated
and database information about the wetlands can be viewed The GIS maps are updated seasonally to
account for wetland impact activity and monitoring accomplished for that season New and replacement
wetlands will be incorporated in the GIS database and City map as they are established New wetlands
will be categorized as Manage III wetlands The functionality and classification will be updated based
on the monitoring information provided to the City
Wetland Committee
A wetland committee was organized to discuss the current issues and concerns that effect wetland
management and protection. Members of the committee include City staff, City Council, Planning and
Utility Commission and WSB and Associates, Inc This committee will serve as the governing body for
the CWMPP and will continue to meet once every season to discuss wetland related issues

X. Functional Assessment
The functional value of wetlands was evaluated in Rosemount with respect to the following functional
parameters
Floral Diversity and Integrity
Water Quality Protection
Fish Wildlife Habitat
Flood/Storm Water Attenuation
Shoreline Protection
Groundwater Recharge and Discharge
Aesthetic /Recreation/Education and Science
Commercial Uses
Wetland functionality was assessed according to a modified version of the Minnesota Routine
Assessment Method (MmRAM) referred to as the Rosemount Wetland Functional Assessment
(RoseWFA) worksheet, included in Appendix B It was developed over the course of 1997 and in
consultation with, the Minnesota Board of Soil and Water Resources, the Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources, the Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District, the Rosemount Wetland
Committee, and City staff These worksheets are for reference only and will not be used by the City for
evaluating wetland functionality in the future Wetland functional assessments will be conducted with
the use of MmRAM 3.0 (or most current version) in the future.
For new land development, the City requires the project proposer or applicant to conduct wetland
functional assessments for wetlands identified on the project site. Wetland assessment information is in
addition to the wetland delineation(s) and report as required per Section VIII D 2 of this plan
Functional assessments must be performed with the use of the most current version of MNRAM Field
work must be conducted during the growing season between the times of May 1' through October I' for
the calendar year The City may require wetland delineation and functional assessment for wetlands
adjacent to the project site when feasible and/or if the following apply
The wetland is down gradient of the construction site
The project has significantly changed the surface water runoff conditions
The wetland extends beyond the project boundary
In an effort to reduce the cost associated with a citywide wetlands re- assessment, the City elected to
retain the current functional assessment information of the 1998 document The Wetland Health
Evaluation Program (WHEP) provides City staff with technical data on the health and functionality of
City wetlands The WHEP is discussed in Section XV of this plan. The information obtained through
the City's involvement in the WHEP is included by reference into this plan
Page 18
XI. Wetland Classification
Wetlands are classified for management and protection based on the total score of each functional
parameter listed in Section 10. The management classifications and corresponding functional scores are
as follows:
Preserve: Wetlands placed into the preserve category received the highest functional score ranging
between 425 -660
Manage I Wetlands placed into Manage I category received functional scores between 280 -420.
These wetlands were for special value.
Manage II• Wetlands placed into Manage H category received functional scores between 280420
Manage III: Wetlands placed into Manage III category received functional scores between 0 -275.
Appeal of Wetland Classification
In the event of a dispute concerning wetland classification, the applicant or project proposer will be
required to submit a Request forAppeal to the City's Water Resource Engineer The Request forAppeal
must include the wetland number, current classification, and reason(s) for the appeal A functional
assessment will be conducted by City staff or a City approved wetland specialist. A decision will be
made based on a review of the information within 30 days during the growing season or 30 days after
the growing season begins (See definition of Growing Season) A notice of decision will be sent to the
appealing party and the regulatory agencies The notice of decision will indicate the wetland
classification and the management and protection strategies assigned to the wetland by support of this
document. If staff finds that the request does not meet the criteria necessary to allow a re- classification,
the appealing party will be sent a letter of denial. Wetlands classified as Preserve or Manage I are high
quality wetlands and are prohibited from the wetland classification appeal process.

XI. Wetland Management
General Water Quality Practices
For wetlands citywide, several tools can be applied with minimal expense. The City shall maintain its
regularly scheduled program of street sweeping and storm drain sump cleaning City streets are swept
twice yearly and catch basm sumps are cleaned seasonally based on the schedule of the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) These programs can have a significant impact on wetland
water quality by removing sediments and chemicals from the stormwater runoff that enters surface water
bodies
The Engineering Department and Building Inspections currently maintain a general erosion control
inspection and enforcement program. The goal of this program is to minimize transport of sediments
eroded from construction sites to surface water bodies. This program is supported by language in the
City's Surface Water Management Ordinance as well as the Uniform Building Code for the State of
Minnesota. This program is continually being reviewed and improved to minimize the impact to water
quality of stormwater runoff The Erosion Control Policy is included in Appendix E
In compliance with state requirements, the City has developed and implemented a Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Program (SWPPP) which focuses on the preventative aspects of stormwater pollution The
SWPPP is a combination of Best Management Practices (BMP s), ordinance, and public education tools
used to prevent stormwater pollution The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has required
the City of Rosemount to submit a SWPPP for review and approval The City is required to submit an
annual report with results and summaries of the actions taken for the previous year
In order to organize and implement Rosemount's Wetland and Surface Water Management Plan, an
ordinance has been developed under Minnesota Statute Chapter 462 This ordinance is Title 10 of the
Rosemount City Code Surface Water Management Ordinance included in Appendix D.
Efforts to educate residents regarding wetland ecosystems and best management practices are ongoing
and will continue. Along with dissemination of surface water specific information. programs that will
encourage direct action on the part of residents, such as CAMP, will be discussed by City staff The
City will continue to promote and sponsor an "Adopt -A- Wetland" program This will enlist volunteers
to collect litter and trash that accumulates around and within City wetlands as well as addressing other
needs as they develop Other educational opportunities will be actively sought
Category Specific Management Strategies
The inventory and functional assessment information was used to determine management categories for
individual wetlands based on functional level Wetlands that score highest are targeted for maximum
protection and resource dedication The wetland category management strategies were designed to
optimize resource allocation While philosophically, all wetlands deserve the highest level of
preservation, this is not possible given limited resources available The goal of this plan is to devote
resources in a manner that optimizes the overall functional value of wetlands to the community and the
natural ecosystem. This plan does not "roll back" any protection for wetlands existing under state or
federal law but rather specifies proactive management strategies scaled to the current functional levels of
Rosemount wetlands
Page 20
The management strategies call for increasing levels of protection for wetlands that score high in the
functional assessment In terms of actual management practices these different levels are implemented
through buffer zones, stormwater treatment, and public education
Wetland Buffer Zones
Wetland Buffer Zones are natural areas of vegetation designated by a Local Government Unit (LGUI) to
protect the ecological values and functions of the aquatic system. Buffer zone functions include:
Stabilizing soils and preventing erosion
Filtering suspended solids and nutrients
Supporting and protecting fish and wildlife habitat
Encouraging the production of unique vegetation
Stabilizing water temperature
Fecal coliform removal
Human impact deterrence
Dense native vegetation is the optimal condition for an effective wetland buffer zone Buffer zones are
prohibited from activities that disturb the roots or influence the growth of the vegetation, such as
grading, mowing, landscaping and planting, fertilizing, spraying (herbicides), and seeding or sodding
Herbicides and controlled bums or other management practices used to control noxious weeds will be
allowed only with permission from the City's Water Resource Engineer
Wetland buffer zones may encompass private property. The responsibility of conforming to the buffer
requirements lies with the property owner, homeowner's association, or management company
responsible for seasonal care of the property over which the conservation easement lies.
The acreage required for the wetland buffer shall not be used to satisfy the required acreage for active
recreation or parks required by the City's Community Development and Parks and Recreation
departments
The width of buffer considered appropriate to protect a wetland from degradation is related to the Wetland
functions being protected and the buffer functions being provided Buffer widths for each management
category are prescribed in Table I on page 25 of this document Additional buffer zone may be required
above and beyond the prescribed width if determined necessary and feasible by the City Engineer
The City has developed and implemented a new approach to preserving wetland integrity by assigning
conservation easements over the wetland and wetland buffer area The conservation easements will be
recorded with the final plat and must be indicated on subsequent land development plans The extent of
the conservation easement will be determined based on the prescribed buffer width for the wetland in
question and/or the outer limits of an approved averaged wetland buffer These easements provide the
City with a legal right to the property and the ability to enforce the wetland buffer requirements as
outlined in this document
The practice of constructing a bike path or trail through designated wetland buffers will be determined
administratively by City staff The applicant must demonstrate that the placement of the trail does not
Page 21
result in a loss of total wetland buffer area for the wetland The buffer area consumed by the placement
of the bike path or trail must be compensated for by establishing additional buffer areas in equal or
greater amount consumed by the bike path or trail The buffer area on both sides of the bike path or trail
must remain natural and must not be manicured or landscaped Bike path and trail material are restricted
to bituminous, wood chip, and natural grasses Concrete, rock, gravel, limestone, and sand are not
acceptable and are prohibited from use in wetland buffer areas.
Buffer Averaging
Buffer averaging is the concept of allowing a variable buffer width around a wetland where the average
buffer area is equal to the buffer area required for that particular wetland management classification
When proposing buffer averaging, the project proposer or applicant must adhere to the following
The buffer width must be a minimum 15 feet from the wetland delineation.
Preserve and Manage I wetland buffers are allowed to be averaged for linear projects
(roads /utilities) only
Averaged buffer acreage must be equal to or greater than the required buffer acreage
Conservation easement is required over the buffer perimeter and will be recorded at the time of final
plat The City Engineer will review the proposal and either approve, approve with conditions or deny
the request to utilize buffer averaging around the wetland
Buffer Replacement
The establishment of wetland buffer zones must follow the current policy of the Board of Soil and Water
Resources (BSWR) on planting of native species on wetland replacement sites by the Wetland
Conservation Act The "BWSR Recommended Native Seed Mixes for Wetland Replacement Sites,
Bank Sites, and RIM Easements" memo is attached in Appendix E. This document contains a list of
species that may and must not be planted on wetland replacement sites. Wetlands may not be filled to
create or maintain buffer zones
Stormwater Treatment Ponds within Wetland Buffer Zones
Stormwater treatment ponds within designated wetland buffer zones are becoming a common land
development practice Although the pond compromises wetland buffer area, the construction of a pond
provides stormwater treatment where suspended solids and other harmful chemicals settle out prior to
overflowing into a protected wetland A well designed and placed treatment pond can be beneficial to
the quality and integrity of the adjacent wetland. The basin also provides additional flood control for
large rain events
The design and placement of stormwater treatment ponds within wetland buffer zones must comply with
the provisions of the Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan (CS)k`MP) and this document
concerning stormwater treatment. The design guidelines from the CS WMP are attached in Appendix F
If the area of a wetland buffer zone includes a stormwater treatment pond, the buffer zone must adhere
to the following:
Page 22
Wetland buffer must be provided between the two basins and around the perimeter of the entire
system Wetland buffer must be a minimum 15 feet between the two basins and outer edge of
the proposed treatment pond
Only one treatment pond in the wetland buffer zone is allowed. Placement of the treatment pond
will be determined by the land developer and reviewed by City staff.
Buffer area must be equal to the total buffer area required for the wetland in question based on
the classification prescribed in Table 1.
New Wetland Credit will not be issued for the construction of stormwater treatment ponds in wetland
buffer zones The treatment ponds will be considered a function of stormwater management, applicable
for issuance of Public Value Credit as outlined in Table 1
Wetland Buffer Monuments
For all new developments subsequent to passage of this plan, the developer shall be responsible for
installation of monuments which mark the outer edge of the wetland buffer zones. Buffer monuments
must be indicated on the grading plan and shall generally be placed at the intersections of lot lines and
the buffer boundary All markers and their placement shall be per city specification or approved by the
City Engineer A monument template is attached in Appendix G.
Buffers in Previously Developed Areas
In areas where residential neighborhoods are well established, habitual lawn care practices have become
entrenched Wetland buffer requirements will mean persistent education directed toward property
owners who live adjacent to and near these wetlands It is intended that resources be focused toward
Public Education in areas where buffers already exist Previously developed areas are defined as areas
where final plats have been approved before the adoption of this plan and the accompanying ordinance.
Wetland Buffer Monuments shall be installed by the City and shall be done as resources are available
and property owners agree Monuments will mark the outer edge of the wetland buffer zones. Their
placement shall be per city specification or as approved by the City Engineer.
Page 23
XII. Wetland Replacement
Subject to an approved sequencing evaluation, the applicant will need to provide a wetland replacement
plan to account for the proposed wetland impacts Impacts due to development or other construction
activity are regulated under the WCA In terms of impact mitigation, the WCA serves as a baseline for
evaluation of impacts and associated wetland replacement plans This Plan specifies guidelines for City
Staff and Commission/Council review and recommendations for individual wetlands to insure resources
allocation is optimized The guidelines are as follows.
Preserve Wetlands under this category shall receive the maximum amount of protection under this
plan Impacts will be allowed only under extreme hardship Replacement is required at a
3 1 ratio with a minimum of 1 5 acres of New Wetland Credit (NWC) and a maximum of
15 acres of Public Value Credit (PVC) for every acre impacted.
Manage I. Mitigation of wetlands in this category will be at a 2 1 ratio with 1 acre of NWC
minimum and I acre of PVC maximum for every acre impacted
Manage II• Mitigation of wetlands in this category will be at a 2.1 ratio with I acre of NWC
minimum and 1 acre of PVC maximum.
Manage III: Mitigation of wetlands in this category will beat a 2 ratio with 1 acre of NWC
minimum and 1 acre of PVC maximum or as determined by the water resource engineer
WCA Sequencmg flexibility is applicable for these wetlands
Page 24
Xi H. Wetland Monitoring
Wetland Monitoring is required for replacement wetlands for a period of five years City staff
coordinates the monitoring for all w etland replacement sites whose permit has been issued from the City
of Rosemount Monitoring includes actively managing the replacement site to ensure that vegetation is
becoming established, erosion problem areas are stabilized, hydrology criteria are being met, and any
other activities to ensure the wetland replacement goals are met Monitoring requirements are outlined
in Appendix H
A letter of credit is required with the Sub Division or Development Agreement to ensure the proper
establishment of the mitigation site(s) Twenty percent of this bond shall be returned to the developer
with City approval of each yearly monitoring report.
Page 25
XIV. New Wetlands
"New wetlands" include wetlands deliberately created where none existed at the time this plan was
adopted This might include wetlands created as part of a wetland mitigation/creation projector storm
ponds created as part of development Wet areas created by human activity not intended to produce a
pond or wetland shall not become part of this plan When non agricultural surface water bodies are
initially formed they will come into the plan as part of the Utilize category or as otherwise specified by
the City Engineer. The City Engineer may place a created wetland in any category that is appropriate
before the functionality has reached the level required by this plan
Because these kinds of projects take time to develop into functioning wetlands the functional
assessment, if done immediately, would not provide a reasonable indicator of the quality of the wetland
as intended Rather, a functional based categorization should be undertaken when the wetland has
reached the fully developed functionality intended Normally it could take 5 -10 years for a created
wetland to become established A full functional assessment will be done 5 years after its creation and
scores stored in the wetlands database. Upon review of the new wetland's progress and score, the City
Engineer will place it in the category appropriate to the score
Page 26
XV. Other Programs
Wetland Health Evaluation Program
The Dakota County Welland Health Evaluation Program (WHEP) is a research and educational
project sponsored by the Dakota County Environmental Education Program, Dakota County Soil and
Water Conservation District, the Minnesota Pollution Agency, and the Cities of Dakota County The
goals of the project are to provide meaningful data on wetland health to local governments, foster public
awareness of wetland value and health, and create positive partnerships between citizens and their local
government in addressing natural resource issues.
Rosemount has participated in the program since 1998 and has had much success in doing so The
project provides City Staff with technical data on monitored City wetlands and it offers a great
opportunity for public involvement WEEP has attracted national and local attention for its innovative
and unique approach to addressing wetland health
Department of Natural Resources Greenway Project
The Northern Dakota County Greenway Project has identified quality natural areas, prioritized
restoration efforts, and will empower landowners to create a viable suburban greenway corridor in
northern Dakota County Detailed natural resource inventories show multiple potential green corridors
that can provide a natural, ecological connection between Lilydale Regional Park, Eagan's Lebanon
Hills, Dodge Nature Center in Sunfish Lake and West Saint Paul, Marcott Lakes in Inver Grove Heights,
and the Pine Bend Bluffs on the Mississippi River. These green corridors can provide tremendous
wildlife habitat and create a green pathway across the county. A map of the greenway corridor is
attached in Appendix I.
CAMP Citizen Assisted Monitoring Program
The Citizen- Assisted Monitoring Program (CAMP) is a Metropolitan Council of Environmental
Services (MCES) managed program where citizen volunteers monitor the water quality of local surface
waters On a biweekly basis (April- October), City volunteer groups collect a surface water sample for
laboratory analysis of total phosphorus, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, and chlorophyll -a; obtains a Secchi
transparency measurement, and provides some user perception information about the lake's physical and
recreational condition. The main purpose of CAMP is to provide water resource personnel with water
quality information that will not only help them properly manage these resources, but will also help
document water quality impacts and trends An added benefit of the program is the volunteers' increased
awareness of their lakes' condition, which has fostered local efforts to protect lakes and promote support
for lake management
At this time, the City of Rosemount does not participate in this program. In the future, the City Staff
will review the costs and benefits of the program and determine if the City's involvement in this
program will be beneficial

WATER QUALITY PROTECTION: SCORE
A wetland is rated as exceptional if it contributes significantly to the water quality protection of a recreational water
or potable water supply source downstream within the local watershed A wetland is rated as high if it is in the local
watershed of a water supply source, waterbody or watercourse and directly contributes to it's water quality A
wetland is rated as medium if it is in the local watershed of any other surface water and contributes indirectly or
potentially to it's water quality A wetland is rated as low if it performs minimal water quality functions (e g ditched
flow through systems that have minimal detention times)
1. Y(20) N(0) Does the wetland receive direct discharge of managed water (e g. municipal or road stormwater
drainage, agricultural drainage outlet, industrial or municipal wastewater)
2. Y(20) N(0) Do the surrounding or upstream land uses have the potential to deliver significant nutrient and/or
sediment loads to the wetland?
3. X(20) N(0) Does the wetland shape, flow inputs, and outlet configuration allow adequate residence time so that
sediments are able to settle?
4. Y(15) N(0) N/A For non isolated wetlands, does the wetland have significant vegetative density to decrease
water energy and allow settling of suspended materials
5 Y(15) N(0) Does the wetland have sigmficant vegetative material to potentially increase uptake of dissolved
nutrients'?
6 Y(15) N(0) Does the wetland have a vegetative buffer area on upland adjacent to its boundary which slows and

FISH WILDLIFE HABITAT: SCORE
Wetlands wrath exceptional wildlife habitat value are those that represent relatively undisturbed, pristine conditions,
and /or are inhabited or frequented by unique or rare species, including those that are state or federally listed or
species that are rare locally Other exceptional value wetlands are wetland types that have been substantially
eliminated within the reference domain and those that provide critical habitat components that are not generally
available elsewhere even if the species dependent on them are not particularly rare (e g colonial waterbird nesting
colonies, amphibian breeding sites) A wetland should be rated as providing high quality wildlife habitat if it is
relatively undisturbed and exhibits nearly the full range of flora and fauna that would be expected to be present in a
wetland of that type within the wetland comparison domain.
Generally, the value of a wetland for fish habitat is related to it's connection with deepwater habitats A wetland
should be rated as having high or exceptional value for fish if it provides spawning /nursery habitat, or refuge for fish
in adjacent lakes, rivers or streams Permanently flooded isolated wetlands that support native populations of
minnows should berated as moderate Isolated wetlands that are not permanently flooded do not generally support
fish populations

erosive energy They are rated high if they are similarly positioned adjacent to intermittent streams or large open
water wetland basins or if they provide interception of storm event overland flow to open water areas They are rated
medium if they are adjacent to open water areas but are not strategically positioned so as to warrant a higher rating
They are rated low only if they are located in a shoreline area but provide no obvious benefits to the open water area.

1998 ROSEMOUNT EROSION CONTROL REQUIREMENTS
According to studies of non -point urban water pollution, erosion and transport of sediment off unprotected
construction sites is in many cases the leading contributor to pollution in lakes and rivers Cities and counties
nationwide have instituted measures to combat this problem by encouraging builders and developers to follow
erosion control "Best Management Practices The City of Rosemount's Building Inspection Department has
teamed up with the Engineering Department to work with builders and developers to ensure that construction
projects at all levels do the bestjob possible to keep sediments from being transported off work sites.
In order to achieve the most cost effective protection of surface water, Rosemount has an ongoing erosion
control program The program outlines minimum steps that will be required on construction sites where bare
soil is exposed Each construction site will be individually evaluated for sufficient erosion and sediment
control Additional measures will be specified at the discretion of the City Engineer.
1) All grading plans and building site surveys will be reviewed for effectiveness of erosion control
measures in the context of the site topography and drainage If plans or surveys do not specify erosion
control, these measures will be described on the plans or surveys by the City Engineer or representative
of Plans and surveys with erosion control specified are then returned with the permits
2) Generally, sufficient silt fence will be required to hold all runoff generated at an individual site until it
can infiltrate or seep through silt fence pores Temporary rock construction entrances are required
whenever vehicles enter and exit a site.
3) Erosion control must be properly installed before construction activity begins. Erosion control
structures may be adjusted during dry weather to accommodate short term activities such as those that
require very large vehicles As soon as this activity is finished or before rainfall, the erosion control
must be returned to the configuration specified by the City. An erosion control inspection must then
be scheduled and passed before a footing inspection will be done.
4) Follow -up inspection will be performed by Engineering on a regular basis to ensure erosion control
measures are properly installed and maintained In all cases the inspectors attempt to work with the
builder or developer to maintain proper erosion control at all sites In cases where cooperation is
withheld, construction stop orders may be issued by the City until erosion control measures meet
specifications A second erosion controldgrading inspection must then be scheduled and passed
before work is allowed to continue.
5) Parking is prohibited on all bare lots and all temporary construction entrances, except where street
parking is not available. Gravel entrances are to be used for deliveries only
6) Streets should be cleaned and swept whenever tracking of sediments occurs and before sites are left idle
for weekends and holidays Establishment of a regular sweeping schedule will be determined by the
City Engineer.
7) The Uniform Building Code requires that grading permits be obtained for earthmoving activities
involving 50 cubic yards or more of material A grading plan must accompany the grading permit for
City review A permit will not be issued until approval of the grading plan or waiver of the approval
requirements has been issued by the City engineer.

BWSR RECOMMENDED NATIVE SEED MIXES
FOR
WETLAND REPLACMENT SITES, BANK SITES, AND RIM EASMENTS
January, 2002
The following native seed mixes have been formulated with the assistance of Robert Jacobson, the author of MnDOT's Seeding
Manual They are generally less diverse than most MnDOT mix specifications and are a little less costly The seed mixes
contain only native species with the e�cephon of some annual cereal gams that will not persist or compete with the
establishment of native grass stands Since these are new formulations substitutions may be necessary for some species until
seed producers ramp up production to meet increased needs that might mad%ertentl✓ initially occur The following mixes are
meant to replace seed Waxes contained in earlier BWSR publications such as the 'BWSR R iM Reserve Wetland Restoration
Guide, 1992" and the 'RLtiI Conservation Practices Specifications, 1989 Some of the mixes contained in these publications
are contrary to current policy of the BWSR and could affect compliance with Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) rule changes
relating to wetland mplaccment and wetland bank credit allacatten These tuts will hkely be revised from time to tune based
on supply, cost, and rate of success infommucit that is reported to the BWSR
BWSR advocates the use of seed derived from naturally established native stands of vegetation over use of seed mixes
wherever possible This preference is related to the increased diversity of species that are typically present and adopted to the
local climate However, access and availability to such sites is limited in some areas of the state and seed mixes will have to be
relied on in most cases
For native grasses, sedges, rushes and (orbs contained in seed rmxes, at is desirable to use origin certified (Yellow Tag) seed
from as close to the project area as is possible If Yellow Tag seed is not available, then non certified local ecotype is the next
most desirable seed to use Cuhivars are generally not recommended in these mixes as many of these come from southern
climates and either can't survive long -term or can be aggressive Seed should be purchased on the PIS basis (PLS pure
hve- seed and is the v table seed x punt)

Notes on Substitutions
Whenever agencies formulate seed mixtures, it is likely that seed suppliers will not be able to locate
adequate supplies from time to time due to harvest conditions, increases in demand due to program
changes, and seed crop failures Project planners should consult with trusted suppliers and agency
experts to suggest substitutions Substitutions should be based on providing similar form and
function Consideration should also be given to the anticipated seeds per square foot and not)ust
pounds of seed as seed numbers per pound can vary considerably The project planner should also
not just accept a substitution based on what the supplier has on hand as ample supply maybe
available from other venders
Below are some specific notes related to the mixes suggested herein
Indiangrass is not suited for northeast MN
Marsh muhly (Muhlenbergia racemosa) for moist sandy sites, statewide
Sand dropseed (Sporobolus cryptandrous) for uplands and dry sites, all but extreme south
and southwest MN
Porcupine grass (Stipa spartea) for sandy hills and good moist sites, all but Lake and Cook
counties
Sideoats grams and blue grama are not suited for northeast Mn
Junegrass is not suited for the very northeast Mn

NURP Design Guidelines
The NURP design recommendations for the design of storm water treatment basins are
as follows
a A permanent pool "dead storage volume below the principal spillway
(normal outlet) which shall be greater than or equal to the runoff from a
2 5 inch storm over the entire contributing drainage area assuming full
development
b A permanent pool average depth (basin volume /basin area) which shall
be 4 feet, with a maximum depth of 10 feet
c An emergency overflow (emergency outlet) adequate to control the one
percent frequencylcritical duration rainfall event
d Basin side slopes above the normal water level should be no steeperthan
3 1, and preferably flatter A basin shelf with a minimum width of 10 feet
and one foot deep below the normal water level is recommended to
enhance wildlife habitat, reduce potential safety hazards, and improve
access for long -term maintenance
e To prevent short circuiting, the distance between mayor inlets and the
normal outlet shall be maximized
f A flood pool "live storage volume above the principal spillway shall be
adequate so that the pea k discharge rates from 99 10 and 1
chance critical duration storms are no greater than pre development
basin watershed conditions Additional discharge restrictions may be
required as outlined in the Stormwater Management Plan
g. Retardance of peak discharges for the more frequent storms can be
achieved through a principal spillway design which may include a
perforated vertical riser, small orifice retention outlet, or compound weir
Additional discharge restrictions may be required as outlined in the
Stormwater Management Plan
h. A protective buffer strip of vegetation surrounding the permanent pool at a
minimum width of 15 feet

8420.0600 MONITORING
The purpose of wetland replacement monitoring is to ensure that the replacement wetland
achieves the goal of replacing lost functions and values.
8420.0610 DURATION OF MONITORING
Monitoring shall be by means of an annual report as specified in part 8420.0620 and shall
continue for five years following completion of the wetland replacement project, or
until the technical evaluation panel deems the replacement wetland to be fully functional
Through written notification to the applicant, the local government unit may extend the
required monitoring period for not more than an additional five -year period if the goal of
the replacement plan has not been achieved, but, in the written opinion of the technical
evaluation panel, may be achieved w ith more time.
8420.0620 MONITORING ANNUAL REPORT
Subpart 1. Purpose. The purpose of the annual report is to describe actual wetland
restoration or creation activities completed during the past year, activities planned for the
upcoming year, and the information in subpart 2 The applicant shall submit the annual
report to the local government unit where the replacement wetland is located on a date
determmed by the local government unit until the applicant has fulfilled all of the
requirements of the local government unit The local government unit, at its discretion,
may prepare the annual report for the applicant.
Subp 2 Report content. The annual report shall include the following information and
other site specific information identified by the local government unit:
A. A description of the project location, size, current wetland type (Cowardin
classification), and desired wetland type (goal)
B. A comparison of the as -built specifications versus the design specifications (first
annual plan only) and a rationale for significant changes
C. Hydrology measurements seasonal water level elevations or areal coverage
measurements during the period April through October
D A map of plant communities within the boundaries of the replacement site, including
hydrologic indicators observed
E Color photographs of the project area taken anytime during the growing season
8420.0630 MONITORING DETERMINATIONS BY THE LOCAL
GOVERNMENT UNIT.
The local government unit responsible for monitoring as determined under part
8420 0230
A Must inspect the project when construction is complete and certify compliance with
construction specifications, and may inspect the project at any time during the
construction and monitoring period, and any time after that to assess the long -term
viability of the replaced wetland When the local government unit certifies that the
construction specifications have been met, the local government unit shall so advise the
applicant and return any construction bond or other construction security that the
applicant had provided.
B. May order corrective action at any time during the required monitoring period if it
determines that the goal of the approved replacement plan will not be met, and may
require the applicant to prepare an amended wetland value replacement plan for review
and approval by the local government unit, which describes in detail the corrective
measures to be taken to achieve the goal of replacing lost wetland functions and values.
C Shall make a finding based on a site visit at the end of the monitoring period as to
whether the goal of the replacement plan has been met If the goal of the replacement
plan has not been met, the local government unit shall order corrective action and extend
the monitoring period
D. Shall require one or more of the following actions if during the monitoring period the
local government unit finds that the goal of the replacement plan will not be met
(1) Order the applicant to prepare and implement a new replacement plan,
(2) Issue a cease and desist order on the draining and filling activity if it has not
been completed,
(3) Order restoration of the impacted wetland,
(4) Obtain forfeiture of a bond or other security and use the proceeds to replace
the lost wetland functions and values;
(5) Ask the district court to order the applicant to fulfill the replacement plan; or
(6) Other actions that the local government unit determines necessary to achieve t
he goal of the replacement plan
