b) Wetlands. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) uses the U. S. Fish and Wildlife classification system for wetlands and currently re- quires a permit for alteration of wetland types 3-5 which are 2.5 acres or larger. Wetland types 1, 2 and 6 and wetlands as small as one acre are recognized as having importance as storm sewer ponding basins, but the DNR does not presently require permits for alteration of these areas. In Ramsey, there is an abundance of wetlands, some found along the edges of the streams and rivers and the others in upland depressional areas. The wetlands are not concentrated in one area, but rather scatered throughout the conm~unity. All Type 3, 4 and 5 wetlands of 2.5 acres or more as referenced in Section 170.012B of this Chapter have been mapped by the DNR and Anoka County and shall be identified on the offical environ- mental map referenced in Section 170.012B of this chapter. A copy of the Public Waters/Wetlands map as prepared by Anoka County is on file at the City offices and is hereby adopted as part of this ordinance. This ordinance shall apply to an impact area within 50 feet of all Type 3, 4, and 5 Wetlands and Types 1, 2, and 6 Wetlands one acre in size or larger.
