cultivated hydric soils, and dredged materiaUfill material disposal sites. The document then <br />recommends standards for storm bounce, discharge rate, inundation periods, and run-out control, <br />based on these classifications. <br />Other cities and WMOs in the metro area have developed wetland classification systems based on the <br />advisory group's recommendations. For example, the city of Minnetonka classifies wetlands into the <br />categories of Preserve, Manage 1, Manage 2, and Utilize, based on their susceptibility. Wetland <br />management standards apply to each classification, according to the wetland's susceptibility and <br />management potential. Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District (RWMWD) also classifies <br />wetlands in a similar manner. <br />r s tlan 621ssiicin s <br />The proposed GLWMO wetland classification system uses the same categories as the Minnetonka <br />plan and the RWMWD plan. The WMO and cities will use this classification system to classify <br />wetlands. Those wetlands not classified by GLWMO will be classified and managed by the affected <br />city. The proposed wetland categories and their associated characteristics are as follows: <br />® Protect -High quality natural basins, unique habitats, high quality adjacent uplands <br />® Manage 1 -Moderate to high quality basins, some receive direct stormwater, high quality <br />adjacent uplands <br />® Manage 2 -Highly impacted to moderately quality natural basins, most receive direct <br />stormwater, low diversity or monotypes <br />® Utilize -Created basins, highly impacted natural basins, isolated monotypes <br />61 t' S <br />Since the cities of Shoreview and Roseville (not GLWMO) are the local governmental units <br />responsible for administering the Wetland Conservation Act, it is not clear what GLWMO's role <br />should be in wetland management. It may be appropriate for the WMO to manage all, some or none <br />of the wetlands in the WMO. Assuming that the WMO wishes for at least some of the wetlands to be <br />managed by the WMO, the following guidelines could be used to determine the criteria for <br />designating "WMO-managed" wetlands: <br />wetland_class.doc Page 2 09/29/99 <br />
