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 /> Thank you for the opportunity to comment. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Kelli Matzek <br /> Senior Planner <br /> Washington County-Office of Administration <br /> Cc: Emily Jorgensen, Washington County Planning Manager <br /> A great place to live, work and play...today and tomorrow <br /> Government Center 1 14949 62nd Street North I P.O.Box 6 1 Stillwater,MN 55082-0006 <br /> P:651-430-6001 1 F:651-430-6017 1 TTY:651-430-6246 <br /> www.co.washington.mn.us <br /> Washington County is an equal opportunity organization and employer <br />
