Therefore, the City has determined that it is necessary <br />and beneficial to classify wetlands based upon their functions and values for purposes of <br />establishing relative levels of protection. q q11 . u iiq ,' VV Ira 0.110 q ;qu;,q iii ii 0 0 1..q : l <br />0 01., Ilquu.r 0 ^ „,-0 II qu 01 0.110 Ilqu .q a !! 0.. ^q,II 0.110 q00 <br />iqq iiuB 4q;, Co1ibo1ihaii iiq y' <br />Subd. 4. The City recognizes that a substantial amount of wetland degradation <br />results from sedimentation and nutrient loading related to construction projects. <br />Therefore, the City finds it necessary to require extraordinary measures to prevent such <br />construction: -related degradation. <br />Subd. 5.
