Abstract/Summary:
In the summer of 2002 the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) was amended to include requirements that wetland mitigation sites must have vegetation management plans developed and implemented. The intended goal is to ensure that restored wetlands develop into the desired wetland type meeting the function and value requirements of WCA. The following guidelines were originally written for restoring and managing newly created transportation (Mn/DOT and BWSR Local Road) wetland mitigation sites.
