We propose to investigate available background information needed prior to visiting the site. <br /> This includes compiling information as follows: <br /> 1. Available Aerial Photographs, <br /> 2. Anoka County LiDAR Maps, <br /> 3. National Wetlands Inventory Maps, <br /> 4. Anoka County Soil Survey Maps, and <br /> 5. MnDNR Public Waters Maps. <br /> We are proposing to complete the following tasks as a portion of the project: <br /> Task 1—Level II Aquatic Resource Delineation: We will visit the study area to delineate the wetland <br /> boundaries within the COR area.The delineation will include performing transects and sampling in the <br /> vicinity of any aquatic resources, placing 3-foot pin flags at the limits of any aquatic resources found. <br /> Our delineator will use a sub-meter GPS unit to accurately locate and map each point and prepare a <br /> written report of our findings.This report will be submitted to the appropriate agencies for approval. <br /> Task 2—Historical Analysis: Bolton & Menk staff will review each delineated aquatic resource to <br /> determine their historical status.This will include reviewing historical imagery and mitigation plans. If <br /> the wetlands are found to be constructed within upland areas, then they will be considered incidental <br /> under the WCA and non-jurisdictional under section 401 of the Clean Water Act. <br /> Task 3—Meetings and Additional Requests: Reviewing agencies generally request additional <br /> information and/or an on-site meeting during the review process. Our attendance is typically requested <br /> at these meetings to discuss the acceptance of the delineated boundaries or to provide the agencies <br /> with additional information. <br />
