ThiSIS not meant to be a complete summary of all <br />wetland regulations, but at least the ones relevant to your stated intentions for your property. <br />It appears that the jurisdictional wetland boundary on your property roughly coincides with the <br />location of your back fence line. As we discussed, applicable wetland regulations prohibit any <br />filling, draining, or excavating in jurisdictional wetland. If you wish to extend your yard into the <br />wetland area von may rin cn ae lnnn ae it rinse not invnlvA any iiliinn riraininn <br />1 � J yr i ors ru rv�, ur .,.nvnrarurr. <br />You would be allowed to clear existing vegetation by tree cutting and mowing and you can seed <br />• the area. In addition, if you remove some dead stumps you would be allowed to fill the holes as <br />long as you do not raise the elevation above the existing ground. The addition of sod or topsoil <br />to the area would be considered as wetland fill and would be a violation. I would strongly <br />recommend that you avoid the use of heavy equipment in the wetland as this inevitably results <br />in • some wetland till or excavation. Please contact me if you have additional questions or <br />concerns. <br />Sincerely, <br />Ken Powell <br />Permit Coordinator, Prof. Wetland Scientist <br />c..
