WHEREAS, the City of Rochester/Rochester International Airport identified wetlands as
part of its construction of a runway extension on the southeast end of Runway 13-31 at the
Rochester International Airport. The runway extension requires that a safety area be built
beyond the runway surfaced based on Federal Aviation Administration standards. There are
1.36 acres of Type 2 wetlands partly within the safety area of which 7,837 square feet must be
filled for the safety area construction. The applicant has proposed wetland replacement through
a privately owned wetland bank located in Haverhill Township. The total replacement area will
be 15,674 square feet. The Schmidt wetland bank was approved by the Olmsted SWCD and
BWSR, but the wetlands have not been fully established at this time. A bond or letter of credit is
required for bank credits used but not fully established; and,
WHEREAS, the Technical Evaluation Panel met and recommended approval of the
application subject to the following conditions:
• 1. The applicant must submit a bond or letter of credit in the amount of$5,038 to the
Rochester-Olmsted County Planning Department for the wetland bank credits.
