Environmental protection § 9.21 <br /> <br /> Subd. 2. Wetlands. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) <br />uses the U. S. Fish and Wildlife classification system for wetlands and currently requires a permit <br />for alteration of wetland types 3-5 which are 2.5 acres or larger. <br /> <br />Wetland types I, 2 and 6 and wetlands as small as one acre are recognized as having importance as <br />storm sewer ponding basins, but the DNR does not presently require permits for alteration of these <br />areas. <br /> <br />In Ramsey, there is an abundance of wetlands, some found along, the edges of the streams and <br />rivers and the others in upland depressional areas. The wetlands are not concentrated in one area, <br />but rather scattered throughout the community. All Type 3, 4 and 5 wetlands of 2.5 acres or more <br />as referenced in {}9.21.02 have been mapped by the DNR and Anoka County and shall be <br />identified on the official environmental map referenced in {}9.21.02. A copy of the Public <br />Waters/Wetlands map as prepared ~y for Anoka County is on file at the City offices and is hereby <br />adopted as part of this Section. This r,:.~,~.,,.. ~,~,~.r'^~ ~ section shall apply to an impact area within 50 <br />feet of all Type 3, 4, and 5 Wetlands and Types 1, 2, and 6 Wetlands one acre in size or larger. <br /> <br /> Subd. 3. Shoreland Overlay District: In order to guide the wise <br />development and utilization of shorelands of protected waters for the preservation of water quality, <br />natural characteristics, economic values and the general health, safety and welfare, certain protected <br />waters in the City have been given a shoreland management classification. <br /> <br />These protected waters of the City have been classified by the Commissioner of Natural Resources <br />as follows: <br /> <br />Natural Environment Lakes DNR I.D. # <br /> <br />1.
