Planning panel denies appeal of wetland scoring for replacement credit ratio
Summary
The commission denied Charlie Krcma’s appeal of how the SWCD scored a wetland that determines replacement credit ratios; the denial was based on existing procedures for replacement plans and sequencing.
Charlie Krcma appealed an Environmental Services decision regarding how a wetland on PID# 13‑025‑3117 was scored for purposes of determining replacement credit ratios (1:1 up to 5:1) that apply when proposed wetland impacts occur. The Planning Commission reviewed the applicable replacement plan options and the county’s wetland ordinance procedure and voted to deny the request to overturn the SWCD staff’s decision as presented.
The minutes summarize the background options (exemptions/no‑loss activities, replacement plan credit purchases from certified banks, and sequencing review by the Technical Evaluation Panel) and state that Cass County uses a wetland scoring method to determine replacement ratios; the commission denied the appeal based on the record presented.
