Draft Prospectus Document Page 5 07/07/2020 <br />communities to be established in the wetland bank include shallow marsh, wet meadow, shrub carr (existing), <br />and upland buffer. <br />In both options, the City in partnership with the school district would like to utilize the wetland bank as an <br />Environmental Learning Center by including trails through the wetland bank. These trails would allow the <br />elementary school kids access to outdoor learning opportunities. There is discussion about the trails being <br />constructed on an upland berm or as boardwalk, but the City would like to discuss options with the TEP and IRT <br />during the prospectus phase of this project. Locations of potential trails are shown on the Figures 3a and 3b in <br />Appendix A. <br /> <br />Issues to Address <br />The following is a list of items, issues, and features that may constrain your wetland replacement project, affect <br />easement acquisition, or need additional information in later phases: <br />☒Yes ☐ No Do any existing or former wetlands on your site extend outside your project boundary? <br />☐Yes ☒ No Could your project increase surface or ground water levels on neighboring properties? <br />☐Yes ☒ No To the best of your knowledge, are there any public drainage systems or private drainage <br />easements or agreements on the property? <br />☐Yes ☒ No Could your project impair or nullify existing drainage systems on neighboring properties? <br />☒Yes ☐ No Are wetlands on, or adjacent to, your site dominated by problematic invasive or nonnative species <br />like reed canary grass or cattail? <br />☐Yes ☒ No Are there any existing permanent conservation easements on, or adjacent to, your project area <br />(e.g. RIM, WRP, U.S. Fish and Wildlife, Land Trust, etc.)? <br />☐Yes ☒ No Is any part of your project area currently enrolled in CRP or another state or federal conservation <br />program (EQIP, WHIP, CSP, other)? <br />☒Yes ☐ No To the best of your knowledge, are there pipelines, utilities, other easements, or legal restrictions <br />on your property? <br />☐Yes ☒ No Are your property’s mineral rights owned by someone other than you? <br />☒Yes ☐ No Are any airports located within 5 miles of your project? <br />☐Yes ☒ No Are any existing wells in your project boundary and are there high capacity wells (e.g. irrigation <br />wells) within 1 mile of your property? <br />☐Yes ☒ No To the best of your knowledge, has the project area, or an area within 200 feet of the project <br />area, been used to store or dispose of hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants <br />(including agricultural chemicals or fertilizer); or been used as a private or public dumpsite? <br />If the answer to any questions above is “yes”, please describe or explain each situation and summarize your <br />plan(s) to address the issue at future phases. <br />The proposed wetland bank site is a part of a larger historic wetland that extends to the north into an area <br />surrounded by residential development. Hydrology modelling will be conducted to ensure that project design <br />doesn’t have adverse impacts to adjacent properties.
