Julie,
I spoke to Mikael Isensee at the Middle St.Croix WMO yesterday regarding the vehicle storage building addition project
and any permitting requirements that they may have for the project.
Mr. Isensee described the"triggers"that would require a permit and referenced the attached checklist. It appears that
the project is small enough,and reflects little to no impacts due to surface grading or increased impervious surface
areas,that a permit would not be required for the project.
I have attached a copy of the "MSCWMO Qualification checklist"which includes responses to each of the trigger
activities. One trigger that Mr. Isensee noted during our telephone conversation was whether the project would result in
more than 100 cubic yards of fill. I do not see this trigger on the checklist, but have estimated that the small amount of
fill necessary to provide an area level for the building floor slab would be less than 30 cubic yards. Most likely closer to
15 cubic yards.
Let me know if you have any questions regarding requirements for a MSCWMO permit. Mr. Isensee indicated that this
permit review process is initiated by the City.
Sincerely,
Kyle Colvin

MSCWIVIO PROJECT REVIEW PROCESS—REVIEW QUALIFICATION
This document is for guidance. Applicants should consult the MSCWMO Watershed
Management Plan (WMP) for specific requirements.
Each member community will refer projects to the MSCWMO for full review when deemed
necessary based on the activities listed below. Each member community will adopt the
MSCWMO review comments into the member community comments for each project.

Performance Standards in Section 5 of the WMP will apply to development within the Middle St. Croix
watershed and focus on stortmvater management, erosion and sediment control, and wetland protection. The
Performance Standards will apply to all projects that trigger the MSCWMO review process. In addition,
whenever a project requires a building permit and adds five hundred(500)square feet of additional impervious
surface or a project requires a variance from the current local impervious surface zoning requirements for the
property, the Performance Standards will apply. Building permits for new construction in an approved major
subdivision that meets the requirements of the Performance Standards are exempt from the water quantity and
quality standards as long as the individual property does not exceed impervious surface percentage approved
for the given parcel in that subdivision.All projects regardless of whether public or private can be reviewed.
