Team Organization SEH Natural Resources Team Your project depends on a team with experience in the science. design. and complicated agency coordination required for implementation of a successful mitigation plan Our team of wetland specialists has the necessary wetland ecology knowledge and extensive history working with the agencies that will participate in the approval of the mitigation plan for the City of Ramsey We have selected our team members to offer the required technical expertise while also providing local knowledge and responsiveness from the northern twin cities area. The team below has experience working together on similar projects and will deliver mitigation work on time that complies with all applicable requirements Qualifications of our staff members are as follows Rebecca Beduhn, MS, PWS, CPSS—Sr. Scientist 1 Project Manager Rebecca will be the Project Manager, and will coordinate with the City of Ramsey to define project needs and assign project Staff as needed. Additionally, she will be the field team lead responsible for the completion of,wetland delineation and data collection for completion of the assessments. Ms Beduhn is a Senior Scientist, Professional Wetland Scientist. and Certified Professional Soil Scientist with widespread knowiedg of conducting wetland delineations and completing vegetative surveys throughout the Upper Midw st. Rebecca has delineated hundreds of wetlands in Anoka County alone. and works closely wit the regulatory agencies. She has worked with the Lower Rum River WMO and the Technical Eval tion Panel members for many projects and has successfully completed many wetland monitoring projects Rebecca is curren y managing the monitoring efforts at Braemar Golf Course in Edina a 600-acre wetland bank in Oak Grove. and a 200-acre w tland bank in Rochester Bailey Nelson, BS — Wetland Biologist Bailey will be responsible for assisting in document prepara ion and determining restoration needs andlor credit calculations. Ms Nelson is a wetland delineator with a background in biology end chemistry. She has been part of several SEH project teams delivering complex wetland delineations. habitat assessments, monitoring of wetland mitigation sites reporting and wetland permit applications Bailey Is also our GIS analyst responsible for doing area calculations and quantification of wetland crediting. Bailey is currently assisting with the wetland monitoring at Braemar Golf Course. the Ham Lake wetland bank, and is integrating drones and remote sensing into new data collection approaches. Joel Asp, B5 — Wetland Biologist Joel will serve as wetland biologist, providing preliminary, site assessments and technical guidance on vegetation establishment, monitoring and maintenance. Mr Asp is a Senior Biologist and Restoration Ecologist with over 26 years in natural resources services He is a Minnesota Certified Wetland 'Delineator, and will provide detailed recommendations for a vegetative management plan He will also support SE.H field team through his years of experience working in complex wetland and upland restorations that are in natural or altered conditions Joel is particularly familiar with practical implementation of restoration designs using appropriate land management techniques befitting the site and prescribed performance standards. Deric Deuschle, MS, CWD Principal j Practice Center Leader Deric will provide technical QA/QC to staff as needed as well as be available for any long-term management recommendations as applicable. Mr. Deuschle is a Senior Biologist with more than 20 years of experience in delineation, permitting. mitigation site design and monitoring. wetland bank development, and aquatic and terrestrial flora and fauna surveys. Denc's understanding of complex ecological systems is an advantage to clients and their projects as having a comprehensive view on factors in a large dynamic system are often critical to the success of a project. Deric has completed more than a dozen wetland monitoring projects. and will ensure that the current project similarly has a successful outcome. SHORT ELLIOTT HENDRICKSON INC 2
