In summary, post -development wetland hydrological regime is equal to predevelopment <br />conditions, wetland water quality is higher overall than pre -development conditions, and <br />wildlife habitat structure improves overall post -development likely due to removal/conversion <br />of cropland to permanent upland buffer. <br />Per Sheet W 1, Wetland Buffer Exhibit prepared by Carlson McCain revision dated Jtme 15, <br />NU December 13, 2021 and the Kjolhaug Wetland Application revision dated April 5, 2019: <br />Wetland Summary <br />Total Delineated Wetlands 41.66 acres <br />Permanent Wetland Impact <br />1.7041 acres <br />Temporary Wetland Impact <br />1.3148 acres <br />WMC Buffer Area <br />14.73 acres <br />Wetland Bank Credit <br />2.8408 credit from Brad <br />Moen bank <br />The applicant has submitted draft conservation easements over the applicable wetlands. <br />RCWD issued a CAPROC on Mav 22.2019. <br />Rare & Endangered Species <br />Minnesota endangered and threatened species must be considered when submitting a wetland <br />replacement plan. A rare plant survey identified portions of three populations of state - <br />threatened plant species that would be impacted by the development. A Takings Permit <br />Application has been submitted to the MNDNR for their review and approval. Impacts to this <br />habitat have been minimized by reducing the road right-of-way width and setback and <br />relocating the trail to the west side of the development. <br />Federal endangered species of concern in the region include the northern long-eared bat <br />(NLEB). Based on the tree species present onsite and the fact that there are no known NLEB <br />hibemacula or roosting colonies in the project vicinity, negative effects to the NLEB or its <br />habitat are not expected. <br />Floodplain <br />The 2015 DFIRM indicates Zone A floodplain on site, mainly over the easterly wetland <br />complex and along ACD 32. Per RCWD modeling data, the east floodplain base flood <br />elevation is 904.5 and the west floodplain elevation is 904.2. Per Mar -eh 14, 2 December <br />13, 2021 revised Sheet FP, Floodplain Exhibit, 215 cy of floodplain fill is required related to <br />the Street C/ACD 32 ditch crossing. Proposed floodplain mitigation is 47,700 cy. <br />A FEMA Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) or Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) is <br />not required because floodplain impacts do not encroach into any single family lots. <br />10 <br />
