Team and Experience | 22A Proposal for Lake Orono Restoration and Enhancement (LORE) for the City of Elk River <br />SERVICE GROUP: <br />Environmental Planning <br />and Natural Resources <br /> REGISTRATION: <br />Certified Wetland <br />Delineator-in-Training <br />MN #5251 <br />Certificate in Ecological <br />Restoration, 2017 <br />KOTAR Habitat <br />Classification System- <br />Training Certificate, <br />2004 <br />EDUCATION: <br />Bachelor of Science <br />Natural Resources <br />Conservation, University <br />of Wisconsin River Falls, <br />2001 <br />Mill Pond Restoration Project | Champlin, MN <br />CLIENT: CITY OF CHAMPLIN <br />PROJECT DURATION: FEB 2017 - OCT 2019 <br />Tony provided ecological design recommendations and oversight as part of the team <br />that successfully completed the Champlin Mill Pond Restoration. This project included <br />creating deep water habitat (through dredging and excavation) for warm and cool water <br />fish species, establishment of native vegetation, and installation of native fish habitat <br />structures. In addition, Tony led a portion of the Technical Advisory Panel (composed <br />of city officials, community members, and DNR staff) meetings that focused on <br />establishing data driven goals, providing project updates, and summarizing the project <br />outcomes. Lastly, Tony developed and implemented baseline survey methodology for <br />fisheries and vegetative communities to track changes in those metrics over time, as <br />well as project management and grant management and reporting services. <br />Tony Havranek <br />PUBLIC MEETINGS <br />Tony has more than 19 years of experience in ecological assessments and restorations <br />with 13 years in a management position. His experience includes a variety of disciplines <br />related to forestry, water quality, fisheries, aquatic and terrestrial vegetation, wetlands, <br />and wildlife. His work within each of the disciplines included field survey design, <br />implementation, assessment, reporting on datasets, policy review, policy development, <br />regulatory application, plan development, and research. Tony’s work also requires <br />engaging a wide variety of stakeholders, on large complex environmental projects to <br />facilitate outcomes, build coalitions to achieve project goals, and garner partners to <br />finance expensive multi-year projects. He also regularly engages members of the public <br />and agency staff to communicate project results and compile technical datasets. <br />Clam Lake Wild Rice Restoration | Siren, WI <br />CLIENT: ST. CROIX CHIPPEWA INDIANS OF WISCONSIN <br />PROJECT DURATION: JUL 201 - JUL 201 <br />Tony was involved with this project since 2009 as he brought this project to fruition <br />through the development of a diverse stakeholder group consisting of local, state, and <br />federal partners. The stakeholder group developed a list of potential limiting factors to <br />wild rice growth and degradation of the fishery, water quality, and ecological community. <br />This assessment found common carp to be the limiting factor and the partnership <br />worked collaboratively to address an overabundance of carp as well as complete habitat <br />restoration and monitoring. Tony assumed a project management and grant writing role <br />after joining WSB in 2014. The project successfully re-established wild rice populations, <br />improved fisheries, waterfowl, and water quality and is presently in a monitoring period.
