Bonestroo will be responsible for facilitation and <br />recording/distribution of minutes for the Park and Recreation <br />Commission and public meetings. <br /> <br />Deliverable: <br /> <br />· Meeting with City staff/Park and Recreation Commission <br /> <br />Q Task 2: Assemble Existing Information <br />March-April 2004 <br />We will gather and organize relevant natural resource information to <br />allow efficient use of resources and better targeting of field visits. We will <br />collect the following information, where available: <br /> <br />· DNR Natural Heritage database, records and maps on rare features, <br /> including natural communities and endangered plants and animals <br />· Previously conducted studies of natural resources within Elk River <br />· National Wetlands Inventory <br />· DNR Protected Waters and Wetlands Inventory <br />· Minnesota DNR Ecological Classification System - subsection <br /> coverage <br />· Sherburne County Soil Survey <br />· Landform data from the Minnesota Geological Survey <br />· Other applicable surveys and studies <br /> <br />We ask that the sist us in obtaining the most recent <br />black and white ~r~a-~'l-~aotography for the study area to enable accurate <br />mapping later in the project. <br /> <br />Q Task 3: Aerial Photo Interpretation <br />We will use aerial photo interpretation to delineate natural and semi- <br />natural communities. Minnesota DNR Color Infrared and FSA true color <br />aerial photos will be used to map these vegetative cover types. <br />Preliminary natural community and MLCCS polygon boundaries will be <br />mapped on mylar overlays and/or plotted true color 36 X 36 (1 "=200') <br />images for natural and semi-natural areas that either occur within or <br />intersect the boundaries of parcets greater than 5 acres in size within the <br />study area. Having color infrared and large-scale true color photos to <br />work with allows for detailed advance mapping and information <br /> <br />~ ,~latural/~esou£cez/nven~oz~/ <br /> <br /> <br />
