LRRWMO Meeting Minutes May 19, 1994 Page 8 Water Manaeement Plan Update Resolution Beduhn explained that while the proposed resolution does not need to be adopted, it would provide focus on what will be included in the LRRWMO Plan versus the local plan. Consensus was reached to take no action on the proposed resolution, at this time, since the LRRWMO will have continuing discussion regarding the Plan Update. Newsletter Article -Coon Rapids Ferguson not present, tabled to June 16, 1994 meeting. Input for 1993 Annual Report The Administrative Secretary pointed out the 1993 Annual Report revision regarding broadcast of "Living With Water". Moved by Weaver, seconded by Haas, to approve the 1993 Annual Report, as revised, and direct the Administrative Secretary to submit it to BWSR. NEW BUSINESS Permit Fee and Regulations for Certificate of No Loss Haas explained he has spoken with Beduhn regarding this issue and found that property owners who want a Certificate of No Loss still need to make application to the LRRWMO and pay the $500 permit fee. Beduhn can then inspect the property and determine what is needed. Jankowski asked if a similar process will be used when requesting a finding of no impact or for work adjacent to a wetland but not actually in the wetland. He also questioned the need to delineate the wetland in this type of situation to avoid issuance of a Cease and Desist Order by the DNR. A short discussion ensued regarding visual compliance and vegetation within wetland areas. Schultz suggested that the property owner be encouraged to work with the DNR. Based on Haas' suggestion, consensus was reached to encourage property owners to work closely with their City building department who can determine whether work is taking place within a delineated wetland. If work is outside a wetland but causing sediment to run into the wetland, erosion control will be required. If work is taking place in a wetland the property owner will automatically need to submit a LRRWMO permit, unless it is a DNR wetland in which case they will need to apply with the DNR.
