Description:

Abstract:

This dataset presents inventoried wetlands and their designated classification for stormwater management. A draft Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan (CWMP) was prepared for the SWWD (distributed in February 2003). The wetland classification and management standards within the draft CWMP provides a tailored approach for managing wetlands in the District based on their functional values. Assessment of wetland functions and values are based on a modified version of the Minnesota Routine Assessment Methodology (MNRAM).

All field work to inventory and rank wetlands, as well as all data processing to assign classifications to wetlands, was performed by Emmons and Olivier Resources.

Purpose:

For each wetland management class, standards have been developed for allowable stormwater runoff inflows (water quality), allowable alterations to wetland hydroperiod (water quantity), wetland vegetation buffers, and wetland mitigation (replacement).The management standards are geared towards protection of a wetland's functions, with the most sensitive wetlands afforded the highest level of protection. Refer to Table 6.3, "Protection standards for wetland management classes," in the South Washington Watershed District Watershed Management Plan Update for more details on standards for wetland classifications.

The protection standards presented in this WMP are in addition to state and federal requirements. Regulation of activities potentially impacting individual wetlands will be based upon on a site-specific delineation of the wetland boundary as part of a proposed project.
