This framework of guiding where wetland impact and replacement may occur is <br />intended to have the effect of reestablishing larger, contiguous areas of wetland <br />and riparian edge. As the other side of the same coin, it would afford <br />landowners more flexibility to create larger contiguous areas of upland for use <br />and development than reasonably could be fashioned under standard parcel - <br />based wetland permitting. This is one of several respects in which the RCWD <br />believes that Rule RMP -3 will provide benefits to landowners as compared with <br />standard wetland permitting, while also yielding greater water resource <br />protection. The RMP discusses this in more detail. <br />A Rule RMP -3 permit would be required in three instances: <br />• - When a landowner will do work in, or work that wholly or partly drains, a <br />wetland within the RMP area; <br />• When 10,000 square feet of hard surface will be created within the RMP <br />area; or <br />• When grading with motorized equipment will after the rate or volume of <br />surface runoff into a wetland within the RMP area. <br />The terms of Rule RMP -3, briefly, are as follows: <br />Wetland Impacts and Replacement. The proposed rule retains the requirement <br />of both WCA and 5404 of the federal Clean Water Act that before wetland <br />impact may be authorized (with required replacement of wetland function and <br />acreage), a landowner first must justify impact through a "sequencing" analysis <br />that explores the ability to avoid and minimize wetland impact. <br />As a part of sequencing, the rule contains provisions establishing guidelines for <br />a preliminary concept plan review. This preliminary review is not required, but <br />is encouraged. It is an opportunity for the RCWD, the Technical Evaluation Panel <br />and the City of Lino Lakes (along with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers when <br />Clean Water Act §404 is applicable), to review a development proposal more <br />informally and to work with the landowner toward a design that minimizes <br />impact on the functions of hydrologic systems (such as habitat, water quality, <br />flow attenuation, flood storage and recreation) and is conducive to sound <br />stormwater management. One result of this process will be to facilitate formal <br />3 <br />RCWD Rule RMP -3 <br />SONAR Letter <br />October 23, 2008 <br />
