(a) Site plan showing: <br />(1) Property lines and corners and delineation <br />of lands under ownership of the applicant. <br />(2) Existing and proposed elevation contours, <br />including the existing runout elevation and <br />flow capacity of the wetland outlet, and spoil <br />disposal areas. <br />(3) Area of the wetland portion to be filled, <br />drained, excavated or otherwise altered. <br />(b) Complete delineation of the existing wetland(s), <br />supported by the following documentation: <br />(1) Identification of the delineation method <br />used in accordance with the 1987 Manual. <br />(2) Identification of presence or absence of <br />normal circumstances or problem conditions. <br />(3) Basin classification using the Cowardian <br />method and Circular 39. <br />(4) Wetland data sheets, or a report, for each <br />sample site, referenced to the location shown <br />on the delineation map. In each data <br />sheet/report applicant must provide the <br />reasoning for satisfying, or not satisfying <br />each of the technical criteria and why the area <br />is or is not a wetland. <br />(5) A delineation map showing the size, <br />locations, configuration and boundaries of <br />wetlands in relation to identifiable physical <br />characteristics, such as roads, fence lines, waterways, or other identifiable <br />features. <br />(6) The location of all sample sites and <br />stakes/flags must be accurately shown on the <br />delineation map. Delineations submitted by <br />applicants will normally be field verified by <br />District staff. Applicants must leave stakes <br />in the field to aid review of the site. <br />Wetland delineations should be performed during <br />the normal growing season for this area of the <br />State of Minnesota (May 1 © October 15). <br />Delineations performed outside this time frame <br />may or may not be permitted, depending on <br />potential wetland impact in relation to the <br />entire development or project. <br />(c) A replacement plan, if required, outlining the steps <br />followed for the sequencing process and including <br />documentation supporting the proposed mitigation plan. <br />(d) A wetland functions and values assessment comparison <br />before and after project. <br />(e) An Erosion Control Plan. <br />6.
