• rHeinzeroth Property-Lot 2 Wetland Delineation Report Ms.Heinzeroth Town of Dunkirk.Dane County,Wisconsin November 200- NRC Project#007-0238-01 REGULATORY REVIEW AND CONCURRENCE • The individual who was the lead field delineator and report author of this wetland delineation has been assured through the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources-Wetland Delineation Professional Assurance Program. The goal of this program is to provide a high level of certainty about wetland boundaries for project planning,and save time in state review of wetland boundaries,while enhancing protection for Wisconsin's wetlands through more accurate identification of wetland boundaries overall. Therefore,concurrence from the WDNR for this wetland delineation is not required for purposes of waterway and wetland permit applications. shoreland-wetland zoning.and or other state-mandated local wetland programs. Wetland delineations conducted by an assured delineator does not eliminate the need to obtain concurrence and jurisdiction determinations from the USACE. This is a key component of the program and benefit to the Client. However, assurance does not change the need for or decisions about wetland fill permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies. NRC believes this program provides an important tool to streamline the approval process at the state and local levels. NRC cautions the Client that with the limited review and approval necessary from regulatory agencies and with the infancy of the assurance program,no improvements,filling,and/or construction activities should take place until the Client has fully evaluated the risk. The information provided regarding wetland boundaries is an estimate of the wetland boundary and the opinions presented are best estimates of the conditions at the time the wetlands were viewed. The ultimate decision on the boundaries defining regulatory jurisdiction over wetlands rests with the USACE and, in some cases,the WDNR,or a local unit of government. As a result,there may be adjustments to boundaries based upon review of a regulatory agency. An agency determination can vary from time to time depending on various factors including,but not limited to,precipitation and the season of the year. In addition,the physical characteristics of the site can change with time,depending on the weather, vegetation patterns,drainage,activities on adjacent parcels,or other events. Any of these factors can change the nature and extent of wetlands on the site. It is recommended the Client obtain an opinion and authority from regulating government agencies before proceeding with any development or utilization of the Lot. If the Client proceeds to change, modify or utilize the Lot in question without obtaining authorization from the regulating governmental agency,it will be done at the Client's own risk and Natural Resources Consulting,Inc.will not be responsible or liable for any resulting damages.
