Summary of Project/DeCiSlon (indicate exemption number per MN Rule 8420.0122, if applicable}:
The wetland delineation report was received in the office of the LGU on September 27, 2007.
Our agent for the LGU, Mr. Dan Donayre of Bolton & Menk, Inc., along with Mr. Karl Hammers of the
Wright County SWCD reviewed the delineation on October 5, 2007. Mr. Donayre and Mr. Hammers
agreed with the boundaries of the wetlands staked and reported in the report. The report refers to these
wetlands as incidental. After a FSA aerial photo review conducted by Mr. Hammers, there is no indication
of these wetlands existing prior to construction surrounding the site, qualifying these wetlands for an
incidental exemption.
If further action is considered, please be advised that you are required to follow the rules set forth by the
Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act.
Please also note that the U.S. Corps of Engineers (COE) has a separate, federal role in wetland issues in
Minnesota. We recommend you forward any delineation documentation to Dan Seemon, the local COE
representative to ensure COE concurrence. Please be advised that any wetland activity that is approved by
the City of St. Francis is in accordance with the Minnesota Wetlands Conservation Act; the COE provides
permitting in accordance with federal laws. These are separate permitting issues.
