LRRWMO Special Meeting Minutes October 1, 1992 Page 2 2, 3, 4 and 5 in order to prevent construction activity from affecting the wetland and to provide a definitive boundary along the edge of the delineated wetland area to be filled on Lot 2. Jankowski continued to explain that following the stripping, the areas identified for mitigation shall be excavated to an elevation of approximately six inches lower than the adjacent wetlands. They would then complete mitiga- tion by putting back the top soil stripped from the fill and spreading it to a depth of four to six inches. Jankowski stated it is his believe that this is the correct procedure in applying the Wetland Conservation Act. Jankowski confirmed that he checked'on the work experience background of Mr. Anderson, finding he has worked in the wetland field for eight years. Sandstrom, Minnesota Board of Water D1 and ss Soil Resources, determined that certification for this work has not yet become a requirement under the law. We should merely con- sider the individual's background and previous experience. Jankowski stated he is comfortable with the data received on delineation. Chris Lord, Anoka County Soil and Water Conservation District, stated the line looks good; he double checked it. However, Mr. Anderson needs to change the way he documents information. If there are two wetlands and an upland, he must provide a data sheet for both wetlands and the upland. You have to prove there is an upland. However, on this site, we all know there is an upland. Mr. Lord stated he will talk to Mr. Anderson about this requirement for future delineations. The information provided serves the purpose for this particular situation. Schrantz queried whether this is outside the DNR wetland or under the Corps of Engineers jurisdiction. Jeff Caine, surveyor, stated the Corps boundary would be similar to what Mr. Anderson shows. The Corps reportedly looked at it and approved it previously. Jankowski stated part of the problem was there are different jurisdictions for wetlands. This is the fringe area that will be filled. Mr. Caine referred to the map provided when stating that the oval pocket in this area was created by fill some five years ago. Schrantz queried whether a Corps of Engineers permit has been obtained. Jankowski stated they have a nation - wide permit which covers this project. A July 9, 1992, letter was received from the Corps giving them a nation -wide permit. -;
