limit the amount of speculative technical assistance that does not result in a <br />conservation projects. <br />Installation oversight is crucial, and a service the ACD highly recommends. This <br />includes a preconstruction meeting with the contractor, landowner and permitting <br />authorities along with periodic inspections of the work progress and a final inspection <br />upon completion of the project to ensure proper installation. <br />Post construction inspections ensure the project is functioning as intended and properly <br />maintained. The number of inspections varies greatly depending on the nature of the <br />project and environmental conditions that could influence its success such as drought or <br />flooding. <br />Proiect types most often considered include: <br />Curb cut rain gardens are used in <br />residential and commercial neighborhoods <br />with storm sewer curb and gutter, and are <br />designed to intercept and infiltrate rain <br />water from roadways. Rain Guardian TM <br />pretreatment chambers designed and <br />patented by ACD make maintenance <br />much easier and improve rain garden <br />function. <br />Rain leader disconnect rain gardens are <br />used on residential and commercial lots <br />with storm sewer curb and gutter, and are ,, .<._ <br />designed to intercept and infiltrate rain water from roof tops, driveways, sidewalks and <br />other impervious surfaces. These can be useful in circumstances where curb cut rain <br />gardens are not practical due to sidewalks, trees and utilities. <br />Lakeshore and riparian plantings involve <br />the establishment of deep rooted native <br />perennial grasses, sedges, wildflowers <br />and/or trees and shrubs above the normal <br />water level with little or no grading. <br />Lakeshore restoration involves the <br />establishment of deep rooted native <br />perennial grasses, sedges, wildlflowers <br />and/or trees and shrubs including the <br />shallow aquatic zone, transitional zone <br />and upland with little or no grading. <br />Lakeshore and streambank stabilization <br />includes the treatment of active erosion <br />utilizing bioengineering and/or hard armoring often in combination with a shoreline <br />restoration or buffer planting and typically involves some grading. <br />Treatment pond modification may also be recommended. ACD will typically call upon <br />the expertise of a consulting engineer if this practice is being considered. <br />Anoka Conservation District Comprehensive Plan October 2014 page 31 <br />
