i <br /> divided by 43,560 square feet X $10,000 per acre). The TEP would review any projects <br /> that this fund would be used on. <br /> The recommended ratio was determined based upon the Cass County Wetland <br /> Management Plan. This method was chosen since Sibley Lake is located partially in <br /> Cass County and that it would more accurately address the functions and values of the <br /> lost wetland area. The methodology rates eight wetland values and uses a total score to <br /> determine the replacement ratio. The scores that were determined are as follows with 1 <br /> being a low score and 3 being highest: <br /> 1. Uniqueness- 1 <br /> 2. Wildlife-2 <br /> 3. Fisheries- 3 <br /> 4. Water Quality- 3 <br /> 5. Rare,Threatened, and Endangered Species- 2 <br /> 6. Cultural Resources- 3 <br /> 7. Flood Attenuation- 3 <br /> 8. Groundwater Sensitivity- 3 <br /> The total score is 20. This falls in the score range of 20-21 which requires the <br /> replacement ratio of 4:1. <br /> Please remember that the TEP only makes recommendations. The final decision making <br /> authority falls to the city. <br /> I can be contacted at(218) 828-6197 if you have additional questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Keith A.
