Wetland Replacement Plan Wetland Conservation Act Trout Brook Estates Elk River, Minnesota June 28, 2004 Introduction and Background In November 2001, Aquatic Ecosolutions, Inc. completed the delineation of ten wetlands on the subject property located in the N % of Section 35 and the SW ¼ SE ¼ Section 26, T33N, R26W, Sherburne County. A copy of the wetland delineation report is included in Appendix A. The site is bounded by County Road 13 to the northwest, a single-family subdivision under construction to the south, wetlands flanking Trout Brook to the east and Iow-density residential private properties to the north (Figure 1). The topography is somewhat rolling according to the U.S.G.S. Elk River Quadrangle (Figure 2. The Trout Brook Estates project includes the development of 54 single-family residential lots and 116 duplex lots with internal streets. All of the lots would be developed for single family home construction. On-Site Wetlands Wetlands I and 2 are part of the large wetland complex flanking Trout Brook and are located along the eastern portion of the site. Wetland Basin 3 is located near CSAH 13 at the northern perimeter of the site. Much of the wetland is composed of several apparently excavated channels connecting larger portions of the basin. This basin receives outflow from several large culverts crossing under CSAH 13 from the north. Other portions of the wetland are wooded. Basin 4 is one of the few Type 3 wetlands located on the site. Basin 5 is also a small basin located on the western boundary of the site. It is a Type 2 basin. Basin 6 is a Type 2 basin, a small basin near Basins 1 and 7.
