Project Name and/or Number: Ramsey COR Wetland Analysis Attachment B Supporting Information for Applications Involving Exemptions, No Loss Determinations, and Activities Not Requiring Mitigation Complete this part if you maintain that the identified aquatic resource impacts in Part Four do not require wetland replacement/compensatory mitigation OR if you are seeking verification that the proposed water resource impacts are either exempt from replacement or are not under CWA/WCA jurisdiction. Identify the specific exemption or no -loss provision for which you believe your project or site qualifies: 8420.00105 Subpart 2.D — Incidental Wetlands Provide a detailed explanation of how your project or site qualifies for the above. Be specific and provide and refer to attachments and exhibits that support your contention. Applicants should refer to rules (e.g. WCA rules), guidance documents (e.g. BWSR guidance, Corps guidance letters/public notices), and permit conditions (e.g. Corps General Permit conditions) to determine the necessary information to support the application. Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact the WCA LGU and Corps Project Manager prior to submitting an application if they are unsure of what type of information to provide: 8420.00105 Subpart 2.D — Incidental Wetlands Figure 1 shows historical imagery of the proposed incidental wetlands. Wetlands 3, 5, and 6, and portions of Wetland 2 and 7 are being requested as incidental wetlands. Wetlands 3, 5 and 6, and portions of Wetlands 2 and 7 are ponds excavated in upland and were not constructed with the intent of creating a wetland. These wetlands were observed to have distinct slopes and were excavated to be significantly lower than the surrounding area. Wetland 3 was constructed in 2011. Wetlands 5 and 6 were constructed in 2012. Wetland 2 was excavated between 1997 and 2000. Wetland 7 was excavated between 2005-2006. Page 4
