Graham Environmental Services, Inc. <br />P.O. Box 189 Ellsworth, Wisconsin 54011 <br />Wetland Replacement Plan <br />Wetland Conservation Act <br />Section 404 Clean Water Act <br />Gervais Hills <br />Little Canada, Minnesota <br />Applicant: Wesley Investments, Inc. <br />June 16, 2004 <br />Introduction and Background <br />The Gervais Hills project is located in part of the NE 1/4 SE Y Section 8, T29N, <br />R22W, in Ramsey County. County Road 111 borders the property on the north. <br />Edgerton Street is located to the west. Arcade Street is located to the east and <br />State Highway 36 is located to the south (Figure 1). The topography is slightly <br />rolling according to the U.S.G.S. White Bear Lake West Quadrangle (Figure 2). <br />On April 23, 2004, GES conducted the delineation of one wetland on the site. <br />There is an existing house and garage on the site serviced by a driveway which <br />connects to County Road 111 on the north side of the site. The approximate site <br />and wetland boundaries are shown on a 2000 aerial photo in Figure 3. In April <br />2004, one wetland on the subject site was delineated by <br />GES, Inc. A copy of the wetland delineation report is included in Appendix A. <br />The Gervais Hills project includes the development of 12 residential lots with one <br />internal street which would terminate with a cul -de -sac. All of the lots would be <br />developed for single family home construction. <br />On -Site Wetland <br />As mentioned, one wetland is present on the east side of the site. This wetland <br />is a drainageway which flows north off the site to Gervais Lake. The basin is fed <br />from the south by a culvert under State Trunk Highway 36. This wetland, <br />identified as Wetland A in the delineation report, is a ditch -like Type 2 basin <br />dominated by reed canary grass. <br />Wetland A appears to be connected to other surface waters and, ultimately, to <br />federal "navigable" waters. Thus it is assumed that the Corps of Engineers' <br />regulations under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act would apply to the wetland <br />Phone: / 888- 279 -2070 l- +u: 715- 647 -5209 / 888- 279 -2069 <br />
