<br />Proposed Work Program <br /> <br />Task 1: Project Initiation and Data Gathering <br />April 2007 <br /> <br />We recommend conducting a project initiation meeting .with City staff to <br />discuss project goals, objectives, and schedule. ' <br /> <br />Task 2: Gather and Review existing Data <br /> <br />We will gather arid review existing data to identifY what is available, and <br />IdentifY data gaps. A preliminary review of the data suggests much good <br />information is available. This will form the foundation.'of the NRI effort. <br /> <br />The following information will be collected, where available (data <br />provided by the City is noted as such): <br /> <br />~ 2005 aerial photography (City) <br />~ Wetland Function & Values study (City) <br />~ GIS parcel base map shapefiles(City) <br />~ Minnesota land Cover Classification System (MLCCS) data compiled <br />by Anoka Conservation District <br />~ Ramsey Wetland Function and Values Assessment (City) <br />~ DNR Natural Heritage database records <br />~ National Wetlands Inventory {NWI} <br />~ DNR Protected Waters and Wetlands Inventory <br />~ MN DNR Ecological Classification System - Subsection coverage <br />.;.' Anoka 'County Soil Survey digital data <br />~ landform data from the MN Geological Survey <br />. Other available surveys and studies <br />~ Draft Master Trail Plan (City) <br /> <br />Task 3: Integrate MnRAM into MLCCS Layer and Prepare <br />Freid Maps <br /> <br />We will integrate the existing applicable MnRAM data into the MLCCS . <br />GIS layer. In keeping with MLCCS standards, we will use the minimum <br />mapping units of 1.25 for natural areas and 2.5 acres for semi-natural <br />areas to convert into MLCCS. Smaller wetlands will be noted as <br />inclusions within larger communities using the appropriate MLCCS <br />modifier codes. <br /> <br />Per MLCCS methods, we will prepare 36" x 36" (-1 " = 200') full color <br />field maps that include the existing MLCCS data from previously <br />completed work and the MLCCS code for land cover codes 20,000 and <br />higher. Other information on the maps will include the location of <br />wetlands mapped during the MnRAM inventory, NWf wetlands (if <br />different than the MnRAM wetlands), and other information deemed <br />useful for the field assessment. <br /> <br />This information will be combined with an aerial photo review to identify <br />natural communities where on-the-ground field verification is needed, as <br /> <br /><<I City of Ramsey <br />Natuf'ill Resources InventOfj' <br /> <br />7 <br />
