<br />Leanna Stefaniak <br />VBWD Permit #2023-31: Lake Elmo Townhomes 8 <br />December 19, 2023 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />6. The permit holder shall contact the VBWD Wetland Biologist (Karen Wold, 952-832-2707) <br />prior to the commencement of any construction to schedule a field visit to determine if any <br />temporary or permanent wetland impacts will occur. If wetland impacts will occur, the owner <br />shall submit the required documents and work with the VBWD to prepare and follow <br />restoration plans. <br />7. The required surety shall be submitted prior to construction. <br />8. The applicant must obtain any necessary approvals from other persons and/or entities with <br />ownership interests in the property affected by the proposed project. It is the applicant’s <br />burden to obtain any and all necessary permissions or ownership rights to property not <br />owned by the applicant, including prescriptive easements. The applicant must obtain any <br />necessary permits. <br />9. This permit is not transferable. <br />10. The applicant agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the VBWD for any and all future liability, <br />causes of action, or claims relating to or arising out of the District’s grant of this permit. Such <br />claims include, but are not limited to, onsite flooding and flooding to neighboring properties. <br />11. This permit is subject to obtaining all other permits required by governmental agencies having <br />jurisdiction (including an NPDES permit). <br />12. The VBWD Engineer and Inspector shall be notified at least 3 days prior to commencement of <br />work. <br />13. Erosion controls shall be installed prior to the commencement of grading operations and must <br />be maintained throughout the construction period until turf is established. Additional erosion <br />controls may be required, as directed by the VBWD Inspector or VBWD Engineer. <br />14. All disturbed areas shall be vegetated within 7 days of final grading. <br />15. The applicant is responsible for removal of all temporary erosion-control measures, including <br />silt fence, upon establishment of permanent vegetation at the project site, as determined by <br />the VBWD Engineer and/or Inspector. <br />16. To prevent soil compaction, the proposed infiltration areas shall be staked off and marked <br />during construction to prevent heavy equipment and traffic from traveling over them. If <br />infiltration facilities are in place during construction activities, sediment and runoff shall be <br />kept away from the facility using practices such as diversion berms and vegetation around the <br />facility’s perimeter. Infiltration facilities shall not be excavated to final grade until the <br />contributing drainage area has been constructed and fully stabilized. The final excavation <br />phase shall remove all accumulated sediment and be done by light, tracked equipment to <br />avoid compaction of the basin floor. To provide a well-aerated, highly porous surface, the soils <br />of the basin floor shall be loosened to a depth of at least 5 feet to a maximum compaction of <br />85% standard proctor density prior to planting. The upper 10 inches of soil shall be tilled prior <br />to planting.
