RE: 2002 and 2003 Wetland Replacement Monitoring Report for Contractor Property
Developers Company - Towne Lakes Residential Development Phase I, Albertville,
Minnesota.
This submission constitutes the year-end wetland monitoring report for 2002 and 2003 for the
Contractor Property Developers Company's Towne Lakes Residential Development Phase I,
located in the W ~ of the SE v.. and the NW v.. of Section 36, City of Albertville, Wright County,
Minnesota.
Construction of wetland replacement areas M-l, M-2 and M-3 was completed in May 2002.
Seeding of all three wetland mitigation areas was completed on May 31, 2002. Westwood
Professional Services, Inc. monitored the replacement wetlands on June 5, September 9, and
October 21,2002. Replacement wetlands were monitored on July 29, August 15 and September
18,2004. Hydrology, vegetation and soils were inspected each time. The findings are provided
. on the attached forms in the Wetland Monitoring Reports for each replacement wetland.
On June 5, 2002 Westwood surveyed the three wetlands using a sub-meter accuracy Trimble
ProXR Global Positioning System (GPS). Results of the GPS survey indicate that Wetland M-l
is 0.27 acres, Wetland M-2 is 0.24 acres, and Wetland M-3 is 0.60 acres. The total New Wetland
Credit created by these three wetlands is 1.11 acres; the amount proposed in the Wetland Permit
Application is 1.07 acres. The replacement wetlands were graded to proposed specifications, are
of adequate size, and are in compliance with the mitigation plan.

2002 Wetland Replacement Monitoring Report - Towne Lakes Phase I
April 7, 2004
Page 2
Photographs of the wetland replacement areas were taken on September 9, 2002, and soils,
vegetation, and hydrology data were collected during all three site visits. Detailed data from
these monitoring events are included in the attached Annual Wetland Replacement Monitoring
Forms and wetland delineation data forms. No changes to the sizes of the wetlands were
observed in 2003. Wetland vegetation is becoming more established in all three mitigation areas.
The Applicant may request that the remainder of the monitoring period be waived if the
replacement wetlands appear fully functional at the end of2004.
Please call me at (320) 253-9495 if you have questions or require additional information.
