WETLAND DELINEATION REPORT Silver View Pond Restoration Introduction October 26, 2023 1.0 INTRODUCTION Stantec Consulting Services Inc. (Stantec) performed a wetland delineation of the Silver View Pond Restoration (the Project) on behalf of The City of Mounds View. The wetland delineation was led by Mason Steele of Stantec. The wetland delineation was completed between October 23-24, 2026. The Project is approximately 7.522 acres in size and located in Section 7, Township 30 North, Range 23 East, City of Mounds View, Ramsey County, Minnesota. Specifically, the Study Area is located within the Silver View Park City Park northwest of the intersection of Silver Lake Rd and Osborne Rd NE (Appendix A, Figure 1). The purpose and objective of the on -site wetland determination and delineation was to identify the extent and spatial arrangement of wetlands within the Project. Wetland and waterways that are considered waters of the U.S. are subject to federal regulation under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, and jurisdictional regulatory authority lies with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency certifies that discharges of dredged or fill material authorized by a federal permit or license comply with state water quality standards under Section 401 of the CWA. Section 401 authorization is obtained by completing the Joint Application Form for Activities Affecting Water Resources in Minnesota. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR) Public Waters Work Permit Program has regulatory over Minnesota Public Waters under MN Statute 103G and Rule 6115. Most wetlands in Minnesota that are not covered by the Public Waters Work Permit Program are covered by the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) Rules Chapter 6420 and administered by a Local Government Unit (LGU). LGUs can be a City, County, Watershed District, or Soil and Water Conservation District depending on project location. For this Study Area, the LGU is the City of Mounds View. Stantec recommends this report be submitted to the LGU and USACE for a for final jurisdictional review and concurrence.
