water is lost, describe the impacts to nearby wetlands, streams, lakes, etc. Indirect impacts can include changes in hydrology, aquatic species health or population, changes in vegetation or macroinvertebrate (bug) populations, etc. Loading and Degradation to Surface Waters Describe any anticipated net increases in loading and other causes of degradation expectedinsurface waters that are not directly filled or dredged when your proposed projectpreferred alternativeis fully implemented. Water Quality Comparison Before and After Project Compare and describe the existing water qualityat the project sitewith the anticipated water quality after the project is fully complete and operational. If thesurface area of awater resource will be completely filled, this step is not necessary, but must be addressed in the Mitigation Planbelow. Comparison of Existing and Expected Economic Conditions and Social Services Provide a comparison of existing and expected economic conditions and social services when the proposed project (preferred alternative) is fully implemented. Include description of economic gainsor losses attributable to the proposed activity; contribution to social services; prevention/remediation of environmental or public health threats; trade-offs between environmental media; the value of the water resources; and other relevant environmental,social, and economic impacts of the proposed activity. Description of the Mitigation Plan If the applicant will mitigate the project’s permanent surface water impacts via an approved wetland bank AND the mitigation is type-for-type ANDlocated in the same major watershed (https://www.pca.state.mn.us/water/watersheds) the applicant does not need to complete this portion. Using the project information provided above,describe how the proposed compensatory mitigation will replaceexisting uses and maintain the current level of water quality at the proposed project site(e.g. wetland types, replacement ratio, water monitoring data if available). Describe how the compensatory mitigation will be maintainedandthe monitoring activities that will be conducted to ensure the proposed mitigation is viable. Include a timeline for reporting progressandan intervention/remediationplan to be implemented ifthe mitigation fails.
