BOLTON <br />& MENK <br />Real People. Real Solutions. <br />September 22, 2022 <br />Mr. Sean Sullivan, EDFP <br />Economic Development Manager <br />City of Ramsey <br />7550 Sunwood Drive NW <br />Ramsey, Minnesota 55303 <br />RE: City of Ramsey - The COR — Wetland Analysis <br />Dear Mr. Sullivan: <br />7533 Sunwood Drive NW <br />Suite 206 <br />Ramsey, MN 55303-5119 <br />Ph: (763) 433-2851 <br />Fax: (763) 427-0833 <br />Bolton-Menk.com <br />Bolton & Menk, Inc. has prepared this proposal for natural resources related services for The COR area <br />in Ramsey. 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 />ulrA.i,k <br />rr I Y <br />
