AMAIN 1000 <br />Aw�g <br />DEPARTMENT Natural Resources - Wildlife <br />TO Kent Lokkesmoe, <br />Regional Waters Supervisor <br />FROM Lloyd W. Knudson, <br />Area Wildlife Manager <br />SUBJECT: P.A. 8 0- 6 2 5 8 —L j <br />STATE 5SINNESOTA <br />Office M emorandum <br />DATE: <br />7/3/80 <br />1,-464-5200 <br />� )U <br />J U L 9 1980 <br />EGION Vl <br />WATERS <br />I made a field inspection of the above permit application <br />on 7/1/80. The area in question is a type III and type VI wet- <br />land located in the Village of Moundsview. The above permit <br />application proposes to excavate this wetland area to develop <br />a storm water pond. <br />The wetland in its present condition provides some very <br />valuable wildlife habitat for a variety of wildlife species. <br />It is also somewhat unique in that it is the last size- <br />able wetland of this type left in the City of Moundsview. <br />The above proposal would destroy much of the vegetation, which <br />is present in this basin and would create an open water pond. <br />This would reduce both the abundance and diversity of the <br />plant and animal species which inhabit this wetland. <br />It would be my recommendation that this basin not be <br />altered and the above permit application be denied. <br />You should also be aware that some small amounts of fill <br />have been placed in this wetland area within the last couple <br />of months. This fill is just off the Scotland Green Apartment <br />Complex parking lot. <br />LWK:to <br />cc: Roger Johnson <br />
