Thank you for providing a copy of your purchase agreement of wetland mitigation bank
credits. This purchase, as well as other mitigation, was done in reference to a project site along
Mackenzie Avenue in Albertville, in the NW1/4 of Section 6, T120N, R23W, Wright County,
Minnesota.
Our records indicate that you had adequately mitigated the majority of the wetland filling
that occurred on your site. Mitigation bank credits (1.18 acres of new wetland and 2.08 of public
value credits) were purchased from the Stanley Held bank for the impacts in the north portion of
the site. You also removed two small fill areas along Mackenzie Avenue. The purchase
agreement just provided addresses the resolution of the last small fill area (about 6,500 square
feet) along Mackenzie Avenue.
We have determined that your purchase of 9,750 square feet of new wetland credit from
the Judith Potter bank (BWSR account 198) adequately resolves all of your remaining Corps of
Engineers related wetland fill activities at this site. V.
If you propose to conduct any work within waters or wetlands you should contact our
office, as well as the appropriate local and State wetland resource agencies, prior to conducting
any such work to avoid violating State and Federal laws. We recommend that if you intend to
develop this site it may be beneficial to schedule a meeting and/or site visit so that the extent of
jurisdiction of the various agencies can be clearly explained.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Mr. Tim Fell at (651) 290-
5360. In any correspondence or inquiries, please refer to the file number shown above.
Sincerely,
Robert J. iting
