  • WETLAND AND STREAM COMPENSATORY MITIGATION BANK PROPOSAL

    Expiration date: 5/17/2025

    This proposal was previously advertised on public notice on January 25, 2023, and the sponsor has made several revisions to the original proposal. The revisions include the addition of four parcels (Parcels A-D in Figure 1) and modification of the stream restoration design (Figure 6). The objective of the project is to re-establish a functioning stream/wetland complex that complements the adjacent DNR owned fisheries conservation easement on the Little La Crosse River, increase functions of the existing wetlands on site, and provide water quality improvement for the contributing drainages. The successful achievement of the objectives would result in the re-establishment of 15.87 acres of shrub-carr and 0.40 acre of wooded swamp; the re-habilitation of 8.15 acres of shrub-carr and 28.23 acres of wooded swamp, the establishment of 20.16 acres of buffer; and the restoration of 1,456 linear feet of stream. The site, if approved, would have approximately 47.08 compensatory wetland mitigation credits and 389 functional feet of compensatory stream mitigation credits that applicants for Department of the Army permits could purchase to offset unavoidable losses of wetlands and/or streams. More refined credits amounts will be determined if the sponsor moves on to the DMBI stage.

  • City of Lino Lakes Mitigation Bank Proposal

    Expiration date: 5/9/2025

    The sponsor states that the proposed project is located in a region of the state that contains less than 50% of pre-statehood wetlands. The site is located within the Mississippi (metro) Watershed (20), which is within the Twin Cities metro area and is located in a high impact area that would benefit from enhanced water quality controls and biological diversity within a highly fragmented system. The sponsor expects that restoration and enhancement of this site will provide exceptional wetland mitigation options for development that is occurring within the City of Lino Lakes and aligns with the goals of the Rice Creek Watershed District Watershed Management Plan, where banked wetland credits are vital to District Projects. The sponsor expects restoration of the site in this location will significantly increase habitat diversity, provide refuge for wildlife amongst a developing city, and improve water quality and overall watershed conditions within the Clear Creek minor watershed.
