This proposal is broken into two (2) phases. Phase 1 <br />focuses on level 2 (site level) data collection while Phase 2 includes analysis of this data <br />to support the development and submittal of the wetland bank prospectus to the <br />technical evaluation panel (TEP). <br />Phase 1 project tasks within this scope include: <br />1. Project management <br />2.Project kickoff and planning meeting (on-site) <br />3.Topographic Survey Via Drone/Spot Check w/ 2-person crew <br />4.NHIS and SHPO Data Review Requests <br />5.Existing Vegetation Survey/ENRV Existing Veg Releve Survey <br />6.Hydrology Monitoring (Installation of water level meters/data collection) <br />1.Project management includes tracking the project budget and ensuring that <br />project tasks are being completed on time and on budget along with <br />miscellaneous administrative tasks. <br />2. The project kick-off and planning meeting will be held on-site between city <br />staff and the WSB project team to discuss project specifics and further refine the <br />plan based on level 1 data included in the prospectus along with WCA TEP and <br />IRT comments. <br />3. A topographic survey via drone/Spot Check w/ 2-person crew will provide <br />the level of detail needed to effectively plan wetland credit actions based on <br />elevations and drainage patterns influenced by topographic relief that may not be <br />represented in existing level 1 data sets. This information will also be used to <br />further refine construction cost estimates. <br />4. Both a Natural Heritage Information System (NHIS) and a MN State Historic <br />Preservation Office (SHPO) review will be required to ensure the project can <br />move forward without encountering ecological, historical, and or cultural issues
