<br />by farming operations. The proposed filling is to be done in conjunction with street construction and <br />development of lots. The total impact as proposed is 2.60 acres. Proposed mitigation is shown on-site <br />in the amount of 10.30 acres. <br /> <br />Alternatives considered include a no-build. Required mitigation will be via ne'tv \yetland creation in <br />an area adjacent to existing wetland basin(s), and restoration of a 37 acre \vetland. Restoration of <br />the wetland basin will be accomplished by plugging a ditch, excavation, water level control and <br />establishment of suitable wetland vegetation. <br /> <br />"Tetlands were delineated by a wetland consultant and are being reviewed. Additionally, a <br />Minnesota Routine Assessment MethodolOg)r ,vas completed for the project. The restored wetland <br />basin scored exceptional in the individual community rating ofMNRAM. <br /> <br />13. Water use. Will the project involve installation or abandonment of any water wells, connection to or <br />changes in any public water supply or appropriation of any ground or surface water (including dewatering)? <br />X Yes No <br />If yes, as applicable, give location and purpose of any new wells; public supply affected, changes to be <br />made, and water quantities to be used; the source, duration, quantity and purpose of any appropriations; and <br />unique well numbers and DNR appropriation permit numbers, if known. Identify any existing- and new <br />wells on the site map. If there are no wells known on site, explain methodology used to determine. <br /> <br />Existing wells are shown on Exhibit H. These were obtained through a search of the Minnesota <br />County Well Index. The municipal water supply system of the City of Elk River will be extended to <br />the project. There are known wells on the project site that serve the existing agricultural operations. <br />These wells are anticipated to be sealed in accordance with applicable laws, rules and ordinances <br />when their use is no longer required or permitted. There will be no new wells constructed on-site <br />other than temporary wells for dewatering proposes. Dewatering will be conducted under the <br />provisions as set forth in the permit for dewatering. Impacts to the water table are expected to be <br />temporary and levels are expected to return to normal within 14 - 20 days of termination of <br />dewatering. Dewatering will occur at shallow depths with respect to the anticipated depths of any <br />wells or adjoining properties and as such those wells are not expected to be impacted <br /> <br />14. Water-related land use management district. Does any part of the project involve a shoreland <br />zoning district, a delineated IOO-year flood plain, or a state or federally designated wild or scenic river land <br />use district? X Yes No <br />If yes, identify the district and discuss project compatibility \vith district land use restrictions. <br /> <br />A portion of the project falls within 1,000 feet of an unnamed Natural Environment Lake, DNR <br />protected waters identification number 71-238\V, managed under the Shoreland Management Plan. <br />The project has addressed zoning requirements and density issues associated \\'ith the DNR and the <br />City. <br /> <br />15. Water surface use. Will the project change the number or type of ,,'atercraft on any water body? <br />Yes X No <br />If yes, indicate the current and projected watercraft usage and discuss any potential overcro\vding or <br />conflicts \vith other uses. <br /> <br />16. Erosion and sedimentation. Give the acreage to be graded or excavated and the cubic yards of soil to <br />be moved: <br />acres 250 ; cubic yards 500,,000 (estimated) Describe any steep slopes or highly erodible soils and <br />identify them on the site map. Describe any erosion and sedimentation control measures to be used during <br />and after project construction. <br /> <br />Silt Fence: Silt fences will be used to protect those areas receiving runoff and are not to be disturbed <br />such as but not limited to adjoining parcels, wetlands, shorelands and top of pODding areas. <br /> <br />Inlet Protection: all storm sewer inlet structures shall be protected by specially designed apparatus, <br />silt fence, bales, biorolls, rock bags, etc. <br />Rock Construction Entrance: Entrances to the project site shall be protected with a clean rock to <br />reduce tracking of dirt onto road surfaces. <br /> <br />Temporary Seeding/Pernlanent Seeding/\\'ood Fiber Blanket: .411 disturbed non-paved areas shall <br />
