wetland boundary, so in most cases these LRRWMO wetland protection standards impose no new <br />restrictions after construction. <br />Occasionally a wetland boundary may be outside of the drainage and utility easement. The <br />16.5 -foot wide area of LRRWMO wetland protections would be outside of the normal drainage <br />and utility easement. In these cases, the drainage and utility easement should be expanded to <br />encompass the area within 16.5 feet from the wetland edge. <br />Variances <br />A variance may be granted in the following circumstances: <br />• For public road projects whenever the road right of way does not provide sufficient space to <br />implement the wetland protections. <br />• Whenever the permitting authority determines substitute activities will be used that will <br />provide the same level of protection. <br />• Other factors, as determined by the permitting authority. <br />Performance Surety <br />A performance surety will be collected to ensure the proper execution of wetland protection <br />measures. The surety may be used to correct any deficiencies. Performance sureties shall be <br />collected by the city, except in cases of wetland mitigation when the LRRWMO will collect the <br />surety. Any surety shall be returned at completion of the construction process and proper execution <br />of wetland protection measures. <br />The performance surety will be waived for public projects. <br />Comprehensive Watershed Management Plan <br />Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization <br />October 2011 <br />G-7 <br />
