W. Jones, Inc. at a site along Highway <br /> 10. The project site is in the SE 1/4 Sec. 6, T. 30N. , R. 23W. , <br /> Ramsey County, Minnesota. <br /> The Corps of Engineers has regulatory jurisdiction over the <br /> discharge of dredged or fill material, including some excavation <br /> and land clearing activities, within waters and wetlands. The <br /> concept plan included two lines delineating the edge of wetlands. <br /> Given the age of these wetland boundary lines (from 1992 and <br /> . 1988) , we recommend the wetland boundary be reviewed again for <br /> accuracy using current delineation methods and definitions. <br /> A Corps permit will not be required for the project provided <br /> it is constructed without the need to encroach into the wetlands. <br /> In most areas the proposed development appears to avoid <br /> encroachment into the wetlands. Also, there is no indication how <br /> storm water from the site would be managed. We recommend that <br /> all retention ponds be constructed in upland areas. An activity, <br /> such as the installation of the boardwalk/viewing platform, shown <br /> on the plan, will not require a permit provided no wetland <br /> filling or grading is involved. Some minor filling/grading may <br /> be allowed under an existing nationwide permit. <br /> If the final project design involves encroachment into the <br /> wetland, our office should be contacted so that a final <br /> jurisdictional determination can be made. If you have any <br /> questions, contact Tim Fell in our St. Paul office at (612) <br /> 290-5360. In any correspondence or inquiries, please refer to <br /> the file number shown above. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> PI'I_� <br /> , 711 <br /> 'J�� r L q lJ LS Mi hael M�/W burg <br /> • iPj Chief, Western Permits Section <br /> t!- -, <br /> By -1.- _V-4.k 4 --^ <br /> rb <br /> Painted on Oa Recycled Pacer <br />
