Construction on the project is scheduled to begin in May, however, one final <br /> Council action is necessary. <br /> After reviewing the location of the proposed Interceptor against City adopted wetland maps, it was <br /> determined that the project would impact portions of those delineated wetlands. City Staff (by <br /> Ordinance) has the authority to issue wetland alteration permits in the wetland buffer zone but not in <br /> the delineated wetland itself. Therefore, the MWCC is requesting that the City Council approve a <br /> wetland alteration permit for the construction of the Blaine Interceptor Project. Staff has checked with <br /> . the City's consulting engineer and, because elevations will be returned to pre-construction levels and <br /> replanting of disturbed areas will be done, he sees no problem with the request. <br /> I have included a two-section map depicting the sewer line location and its relationship to City wetlands <br /> for your review. <br /> Paul Harrington, Communfty Development Coordinator <br /> RECOMMENDATION:. <br /> Staff is recommending that the Council adopt Resolution No. 4554 approving the requested Wetland <br /> Alteration Permit for the construction of the MWCC Blaine Interceptor Project. <br />
