Request for Delineation Review, Wetland Type Determination, or  Jurisdictional Determination  By submission of the enclosed wetland delineation report, I am requesting that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District  (Corps) and/or the Wetland Conservation Act Local Government Unit (LGU) provide me with the following (check all that apply):    Wetland Type Confirmation    Delineation Concurrence.  Concurrence with a delineation is a written notification from the Corps and a decision from the LGU  concurring, not concurring, or commenting on the boundaries of the aquatic resources delineated on the property. Delineation  concurrences are generally valid for five years unless site conditions change. Under this request alone, the Corps will not address  the jurisdictional status of the aquatic resources on the property, only the boundaries of the resources within the review area  (including wetlands, tributaries, lakes, etc.).   Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination. A preliminary jurisdictional determination (PJD) is a non‐binding written indication  from the Corps that waters, including wetlands, identified on a parcel may be waters of the United States. For purposes of  computation of impacts and compensatory mitigation requirements, a permit decision made on the basis of a PJD will treat all  waters and wetlands in the review area as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S.  PJDs are advisory in nature and may not be  appealed.   Approved Jurisdictional Determination. An approved jurisdictional determination (AJD) is an official Corps determination that  jurisdictional waters of the United States are either present or absent on the property. AJDs can generally be relied upon by the  affected party for five years. An AJD may be appealed through the Corps administrative appeal process.   In order for the Corps and LGU to process your request, the wetland delineation must be prepared in accordance with the 1987  Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual, any approved Regional Supplements to the 1987 Manual, and the Guidelines for  Submitting Wetland Delineations in Minnesota (2013).

We will have shallow marsh available also, but the price for those would be $1.06 and we want to hoard them as much as possible. All are Corps-approved. If interested, I can draft a PA in draft form to review. Thanks Jason Jason Kirwin - President ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENTIFIC LLC.

As far as a breakdown is concerned, if you mean a type breakdown, the 1.7201 credits that are listed as U’s can be used in any combination of 3’s or 4’s, based upon how these credits would have been allocated had they been split into the wetland groups initially, as the Corps does now. If you propose these be used as either of these types and the Corps has any questions or concerns with this (although I doubt they will) I will discuss this with them. And pricing for over 1 acre of credits would stay at the $1.35 I quoted you earlier. Lastly, I am leaving late morning tomorrow for a spring break trip so if you would like a PA drafted sooner than later, please let me know today or first thing tomorrow. Otherwise, I will be back at my desk Friday of next week and happy to get it to you then. Thanks again Melissa!

Does that help? Other than that, there’s not much I can do other than our pricing does drop by $0.05 per sq foot for purchases over an acre, so if you’re ratio is higher than 2:1 (which it sounds like would put you over an acre) we would be at $1.35 or $58,806. Hope that helps.

Land use. Describe current and recent past land use and development on the site and on adjacent lands. Discuss project compatibility with adjacent and nearby land uses. Indicate whether any potential conflicts involve environmental matters. Identify any potential environmental hazards due to past site uses, such as soil contamination or abandoned storage tanks, or proximity to nearby hazardous liquid or gas pipelines. • Discuss past and current land use at the project’s site. • Generally, “proximity” means within a mile or so of the project; however, the distance can be greater in specific instances. • If a site assessment for past contamination has been done, include a brief summary of the results. • Discuss what is adjacent to the site (all directions). • Note any nearby features of concern, including areas where vulnerable populations live or visit such as nursing homes, schools, day care centers, water resources, parks, etc. • Indicate the distance and direction to the nearest residential receptor. Since air and water contamination can potentially travel in any direction, please include all residential areas surrounding the site. You may need to contact the city or county in which the project is located for information. Past land use in the project area has been agricultural based uses, mostly row crops. Since the 2005 AUAR, much of the project area has developed to include low and medium density residential uses consistent with the assumptions established in the original AUAR. Included in the gross acreage calculations are 77 acres of wetland, 79 acres of floodway, and 168 acres of primary Bluff Creek Overlay District. The following table provides a breakdown of existing land use in the project area.
