A detailed wetland mitigation plan has not been completed; <br />however, the plan will include new wetland creation as well as the use of Public Value <br />Credits (PVC) through the design of storm water ponds in accordance with WCA. Existing <br />wetlands located near the northwest corner of the site will likely be enlarged to create new <br />wetland area. <br /> <br />As outlined in Item 8, permits will be required from the Army Corps of Engineers and the <br />Rice Creek Watershed District for wetland alterations. As part of the permit approval <br />process, a final mitigation plan will be submitted to these agencies documenting proposed <br />wetland impacts and detailed mitigation. <br /> <br />Item 17 describes mitigation for storm water impacts, including impacts on existing <br />wetlands of the proposed development. <br /> <br />The proposed storm water treatment plans will improve wetland quality by removing <br />sediment, organics and other debris prior to the storm water entering the wetlands as it does <br />under thc existing condition. <br /> <br />13.
