It appears that a significant amount of water inflow is <br /> overland flow from adjacent farm fields and stormwater flow from area businesses (i.e., the <br /> Cenex Cooperative) and residential and commercial areas on the southern edge of the Village. <br /> The owners have suggested several potential enhancement alternatives, including: <br /> • construction of stormwater detention basins at the two locations where offsite <br /> stormwater enters the wetland; <br /> • installation of ditch plugs or water control structures at strategic locations in site <br /> ditches to create a series of shallow marshes; <br /> • installation of several shallow scrapes to increase the diversity of moisture regimes <br /> and remove undesirable vegetation; <br /> • installation of native plantings in the detention basins, shallow marshes, and <br /> scrapes; <br /> • herbicide treatment of shrub carr and wet meadow areas dominated by undesirable <br /> vegetation and seeding of these areas with native wet meadow vegetation. <br /> The overall goal of these activities is to increase the quality of the wetland by treating water <br /> entering the wetland and introducing native plant species. The beneficial effects of these <br /> activities will include: <br /> 1. overall surface and ground water quality benefits to the wetland itself and the <br /> Koshkonong Creek watershed. <br /> 2. increased wildlife habitat value by creating open water areas and introduction of <br /> native plant species for food and cover. <br /> ' 3. an increase in the aesthetic qualities of the wetland complex, which is within site of <br /> the Glacial-Drumlin Trail. <br /> The owners have completed a similar project on the property to the north and adjacent to this <br /> site. During our on-site meeting, we can view the progress at the property to the north. <br /> I am hoping that we can meet at the site in the near future to discuss the necessary permits <br /> and approvals. I can be reached at 608-251-1177 if you need any additional information or to <br /> set up a meeting. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> JOHNSON JOHNSON & ROY/inc <br /> Scott A.
