A WCA Notice of Decision was issued by RCWD on August 26, 2021. <br />One 0.015 acre wetland area was delineated within the project area. This wetland <br />meadow/shrub swamp was dominated by reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) and <br />tussock sedge (Carex stricta). <br />No impacts to this wetland are proposed. <br />This wetland is part of the Wetland Management Corridor, so a vegetated buffer with an <br />average of 50 ft. and a minimum width of 25 ft. will be required per Rice Creek <br />Watershed District rules. <br />A minimum 10 ft wide drainage and utility easement is required above the delineated <br />wetland.
