North Dayton Development AUAR <br />MITIGATION MEASURES (QUESTION 13): <br />Mitigation measures that will be incorporated into the proposed project to mitigate against the potential <br />incompatibility of surrounding land uses include: <br />■ Project design will minimize impacts to wooded and wetland areas. <br />• Development should not encroach into the wetland areas to preserve existing habitat in the area. Loss <br />of wetlands on the interior of the development site shall be mitigated in accordance with all Local, <br />State or Federal regulations as may be applicable. <br />• Development shall be required to meet all wetland replacement requirements to replace habitat being <br />lost as a result of the proposed development. <br />• The City will provide Blanding' s turtle information sheets prepared by the DNR to contractors <br />working in the study area. <br />• If Blanding's turtle are encountered during construction activity, the contractor will be required to <br />move turtles that are in harm's way. Turtles that are not in imminent danger shall be left undisturbed. <br />• Silt fencing shall be set up to keep turtles out of construction areas. It is critical that silt fencing be <br />removed after the area has been re -vegetated. <br />• All wetlands should be protected from pollution; use of fertilizers and pesticides should be avoided, <br />and run-off from lawns and streets should be controlled. <br />■ Roads should be kept to minimum standards on widths and lanes. <br />• The development should consider roads that are ditched, and are not curbed or below grade. If curbs <br />must be used in areas adjacent to wetlands and ponds, 4" high curbs at a 3:1 slope are preferred. <br />• Because trenches can trap turtles, trenches should be checked for turtles by the contractor prior to <br />being backfilled. <br />■ Open space areas should be re -vegetated with native grasses and forbs. <br />• Vegetation management in infrequently mowed areas -- such as in ditches, along utility access roads, <br />and under power lines -- should be done mechanically (chemicals should not be used). Work should <br />occur fall through spring (after October 1st and before June 1st). <br />• Erosion control measures will be implemented to limit sedimentation. <br />• Wildlife friendly erosion control methods such as "Natural Netting" erosion control blanket should be <br />used to prevent wildlife entanglement <br />29 <br />
