FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
The City of Albertville, represented by Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc.@ (SEH) .as the Local
Government Unit (LGU), has approved the replacement plan for the Heuring Meadows
Development as outlined and submitted to the City in the December, 2000 permit application and
the February 5 and 7, 2001 addendums. The original project Minnesota Wetland Conservation
Act permit application and replacement plan was submitted to the City in December 2000. Two
addendums to the original application, dated February 5 and February 7, 2001 were submitted
that reflected changes to the original application.
A Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) meeting was held on January 10,2001 to discuss changes to
the wetland impacts from the project layout. Changes in the amount of wetland impact due to
the location and excavation for the construction of the site stormwater pond were discussed and
implemented. The sequencing outlined by the applicant was approved with the addition of the
7,235 feet of excavated area from the stormwater pond adding for replacement. These changes
are reflected in the wetland permit addendums. The actual amount of wetland impact has
changed. The February 5 and 7 addendums include purchasing new wetland credits totaling
94,556 square feet from two wetland banks. Wetland impacts are being replaced at a 2:1 ratio
without PVC credits.
