The <br />RCWD has aeeepted the responsibility for the administration of the <br />Wetland Conservation Act. <br /> <br />Construction plans that propose any direct alteration or indirect impacts <br />to wetlands or watercourses within the projeet area will require permits <br />from the appropriate regulatory agencies. Violation of wetland regulations <br />ean result in substantial civil and/or eriminal penalties. <br /> <br />Wetland Functions and Values. <br /> <br />When wetlands will be impacted by a project, the importance of the <br />wetland functions should be analyzed for societal and ecological values. <br />Although it is beyond the scope of this investigation to assess the <br />functions and values associated with the wetlands identified in this <br />delineation, the fonowing discussion is provided to assist in the assessment <br />of project impacts to wetlands. <br /> <br />Wetland functions are defined as natural processes that occur in wetlands. <br />Wetland values are typically subjective benefits that are realized to society <br />through the natural processes that occur to a different extent in various <br />wetland types. <br /> <br />Sunde Engineering, Inc <br />Arden Hills.
