LRRWMO Meeting Minutes January 19, 1995 Page 7 The LRRWMO requested a revised contract indicating the clarification to travel time and invoicing. Consensus was reached to authorize SEH to proceed with data collection and requesting input from regulating agencies. The contract will be considered at the February 16, 1995 meeting. CONSIDERATION OF COMMUNICATIONS Review Correspondence in Chair's Folder Jankowski reviewed the correspondence and notices contained in the Chair's Folder, noting they do not require action. Informational; no action required. Cease & Desist Order -Steven Fries Letter from Beduhn -Andover Jankowski reviewed the January 5, 1995 memorandum from Bob Beduhn indicating outstanding issues with the Steven Fries Cease & Desist Order and his suggested solution that Fries must substantially comply with the restoration order. Beduhn has indicated the best solution would be to remove the fill placed to create the new driveway and use the fill to improve the driveway on the southeast corner of the propeirty. As long as Fries places fill on the old driveway to raise its elevation without any additional fill of the wetland. If some additional filling is necessary, Fries could request a one time exemption for the fill of 400 square feet without mitigation. Any additional fill would have to pass the sequencing test and amitigation/replacement plan would have to be prepared for the total area filled. Haas reported that Fries has not followed the correct process so a memorandum has been sent to him advising him that he has several weeks to provide the required information or the DNR will resolve the matter in court. Wetland Banking Discussion -Beduhn Memo Jankowski asked if the LRRWMO would be interested in purchasing banked wetland. He noted that while this is an interesting concept, it would be difficult to bank what is beyond their physical control. The members reviewed the January 11, 1995 memorandum from Bob Beduhn indicating Fries proposed to purchase wetland azeas the LRRWMO allowed Johanson to bank under the interim program of the WCA of 1991. The DNR has indicated if Johanson is interested in converting the banked wetland into the permanent program, he should contact the LRRWMO to begin the conversion process. The LRRWMO could require an escrow deposit to defray the administrative expenses of the conversion process.
