Comments can be found below. <br /> <br />Public Health and Environment’s comments for Hugo’s Comprehensive Plan Amendment is below: <br />• When development occurs, BMPs must be utilized to protect the water quality, quantity, and habitat of <br />wetlands present. If any wetland loss were to occur, developers must follow requirements of the Wetland <br />Conservation Act. Consider planting native, deep root species in proposed park space to filter any excess <br />nutrients or pollutants before any entry into the wetland area. <br />• Development of this parcel would occur in a high vulnerability Drinking Water Supply Management Area. <br />Best management practices should be utilized if construction nears the water table and when <br />contaminative or pollutive byproducts are produced. <br /> <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Kelli Matzek <br />Senior Planner <br />Washington County - Office of Administration <br />Cc: Emily Jorgensen, Washington County Planning Manager
