LRRWMO Meeting Minutes January 20, 1994 Page 9 NEW BUSINESS Memorandum of Understanding -Matching Block Grant Funds Jankowski reported he entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Anoka Conservation District regazding the matching grant funds. He pointed out a change was made by BWSR to allow the LRRWMO's match of the grant funds to be in cash and/or in- kind services. He emphasized that it is even more important for members to keep track of time spent for on-site inspections. The Administrative Secretary was asked to contact the Anoka Conservation District to find out when they will be holding a seminaz on grant qualifications. The Administrative Secretary requested an original copy of the Memorandum of Understanding for the LRRWMO's file. Chestnut Ridge Subdivision -Jankowski Jankowski reported that Barr Engineering has requested Good Value Homes, the developer of Chestnut Ridge, to submit more information. He drew a diagram of the road alignment with the county ditch that drains into a DNR protected wetland which is located on the other side of the roadway. He explained if all of this wetland is under DNR's jurisdiction, then the LRRWMO does not have any permitting authority and a permit is not required. However, if a LRRWMO permit is required, Exemptions 24 (Approved Development Projects) or 25 (Deminimus Fill) may apply because of the small area involved. Jankowski reviewed the drainage flow pattern and the location of two sedimentation ponds. It was noted that Barr Engineering recommends the matter be tabled until the water quality and wetland issues aze resolved. Motion was made by Weaver, seconded by Ferguson, to table consideration of Chestnut Ridge Subdivision as recommended by Barr Engineering. Vote: 4 ayes, 0 nays. Motion carried. Small Wetlands Impact General Public Notice Jankowski explained the WCA requires the LRRWMO to notify numerous parties when considering wetland replacement plans. However, the Board can avoid notifying these parties of small wetland fills by submitting a Small Wetland Impacts General Public Notice to the Environmental Quality Boazd. Barr Engineering recommends the LRRWMO submit such a notice to the EQB informing them that notices will not be published individually for small wetland impacts.
