3 <br />There is a wetland identified on the NWI map on the south side of the parcel which is more <br />than 100 feet from the stockpile. The site appears to contain other wetlands that are currently <br />farmed. A wetland delineation has not been completed for this project. There is a wetland <br />adjacent to the stockpile. RCWD is the LGU for the wetland protection act and should review <br />this project for conformance. No fill or stockpiling is permitted within a wetland. The proposed <br />stockpile is to include redundant perimeter control to prevent erosion and sedimentation. <br /> <br />Floodplain <br /> <br />The 2015 FEMA Floodplain Map indicates Zone A flood plain over a portion of the site. The <br />proposed stockpile is located outside of the floodplain and no impacts are proposed as part of <br />this IUP. Any floodplain impacts are subject to City requirements per City Code Chapter 1103 <br />and RCWD Rules. <br /> <br />Public Drainage <br /> <br />Hardwood creek runs along the southern portion of the property before discharging into Peltier <br />Lake. No impacts are being proposed to either Hardwood Creek or Peltier Lake. Both waters <br />are listed by the MPCA as Impaired for Nutrients. As part of the IUP erosion and sedimentation <br />control should be a priority to limit potential runoff of sediment and nutrients from the site. <br />Staff is recommending redundant perimeter control around the proposed stockpile to limit <br />sedimentation along with vegetating the stockpile if it is not actively worked within 7 days, as is <br />required by the MPCA. <br /> <br />Grading/Erosion Control <br /> <br />A proposed site plan was submitted showing Grading, Drainage, and Erosion control and has <br />been reviewed by the City’s Environmental Coordinator. Comments can be found in the staff <br />report and recommendations. <br /> <br />Comprehensive Plan and Zoning <br /> <br />The property is zoned as R-Rural and is currently used for agricultural production. The applicant <br />is proposing switching from agricultural row cropping to tree farm production. No change in <br />use is proposed as part of the IUP. <br /> <br />2040 comprehensive plan shows this area being business campus in the full build out land use. <br />The current use will have no impact on future development or use. <br /> <br />Tree Preservation Plan <br /> <br />A tree preservation plan was submitted. 3 trees are being proposed for removal as part of the <br />proposed stockpile maintenance plan. The 3 trees being removed are low quality species
