WCA Process:
David Hauser, County Attorney, stated that this Hearing is an appeal of a decision of staff members on a
Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) issue. Otter Tail County has delegated enforcement of WCA to Land
and Resource Management. Appeals of WCA decisions go to the Local Government Unit (LGU) and in
this case, the Frank WCA Appeal is to the Otter Tail County Board of Commissioners. When the appeal
was received, it included exhibits which are part of this record. The Technical Evaluation Panel
reconstructed the facts in the case and submitted a book which is the file of Land and Resource
Management for this case. The Appellant may have additional information to submit to the Board which
will also be part of the record. The Board will hear comments from the public; however, comments will
have a time limit. The Board of Commissioners will make a decision affirming in whole or in part or
reversing in whole or in part the decision of the TEP. The Board will issue findings in the case as
appropriate.
Chairman Johnson reviewed the Agenda for the WCA Appeal Hearing which included Staff presentation,
Appellant presentation, Staff final comments/rebuttal, Appellant final comments/rebuttal, Public comments,
and Board deliberation.
Documents received into the record for the WCA Appeal Hearing are as follows:
• Appellant Petition for Appeal of Wetland Conservation Act Decision in the Matter of the Appeal of
Jennifer Frank ar:id Troy Frank of Minnesota Conservation Act Decision dated July 18, 2014
(Rinke Noonan File No. 2520-0001)

Staff Presentation:
Kyle Westergard, Land & Resource Inspector and member of the TEP, stated that a complaint was
received in September of 2013 regarding work completed in Section 29 of Aastad Township. An on-site
inspection followed, and as a result, a Resource Protection Notice was issued to the Franks. In June of
2014, applications for the work were submitted and Staff found the work non-compliant and issued a
Notice of Decision and Restoration Notice.
To determine if the work is a violation of the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA), staff reviews the
exemption, no-loss, and other criteria in the WCA law. In this case, Staff determined that the work is not
eligible for an exemption and that none of the No-Loss criteria apply to this project.
Mr. Westergard used a power point to present maps, soils, and elevations. He showed an NRCS map
indicating adverse wetland impact within the boundary of the wetlands in this area and explained
disturbance of soils. There was no indication of an existing drainage system out of the wetland. He
referred to Exhibit 2 and reviewed the no-loss criteria and reasons the TEP determined that these did not
apply. No repair, rehabilitation or restoration of the wetland has occurred. He indicates the Exhibit 7
survey information completed by the NRCS showing area 1 and 2 running by the Township road and into
the basin confirming the two foot maximum cut. Mr. Westergard stated that the Technical Evaluation Panel
has clearly shown that there was a wetland present (the saturated fringes of the basin) and work was
completed in the wetland basin. The TEP is requesting that the Board of Commissioners' affirms their
decision.
Appellant Presentation:
Gary Leistico, Attorney for the Franks from Rinke-Noonan, stated that an appeal has been filed and the
basis for the appeal has been presented. As an overview, the Appellants presented that there is no net
loss of wetlands or there was an exemption for work that was completed in the matter. Jennifer Frank
indicated that the property was purchased in 2008 and work was completed in the triangular shaped area
in 2013. The ditching area was 175' in a lateral direction. The Township, also did some work on the north
end of the ditch area allowing for the culvert to be replaced. The culvert was replaced at the same
elevation. David Stock was contracted by the Township to replace the culvert. He also did some work in
the North part of the area and testified that he removed cattails but did not remove soil.
Mr. Leistico referred to Mr. Westergard's statement that indicated changes in the color of the soil along the
Township road. He referred the Board to an Exhibit 6b photo dated November 11, 2013, which shows,
unlike the soil along the township road, that there is nothing in that swale that indicates that there is
anything other than the black hydric soil. There has been no excavation as to that swale. The NRCS did a
survey as to that area (Appellant Exhibit 1) and it shows no excavation in the entire NRCS survey. Another
NRCS map (Appellant Exhibit 2) shows the way points taken by the NRCS.
Mr. Leistico spoke about the elevation of the culvert at 1128.9 and all other elevations at 1130 or higher.
He indicated that the Township would not allow the ditch bank to be built up more than 5 ft. above the
culvert; therefore, it is unlikely that soil had been removed. The TEP did not submit hydrology. There are
three criteria for a wetland to be determined a wetland under WCA: 1) hydric soil; 2) hydrophytic
vegetation; and 3) hydrology. The TEP has not shown 2 or 3. The TEP testified that the large basin in the
wetland has not been impacted; however, the fringe has been impacted. They have not coordinated the
difference in the cropping around the wetland for farming practices, which are not a violation, or with the
weather conditions -2013 was an extremely wet year.
OTC Board of Commissioners' Minutes
December 16, 2014
Page 11
Stan Rund, previous owner of this property testified that this area, initially, was pasture when he had cattle,
and later it was tilled and farmed. The swale area was the natural channel where runout went to the
culvert and this natural ditch was maintained during the time it was being farmed. Discussion continued
regarding the removal of the cattails and not soil. Mr. Leistico submitted an email from Kyle Westergard
(Appellant Exhibit 3) that put the elevation at 1130.1 on November 17, 2014. The North part of this area
was dry on November 16, 2014, so there was something blocking the water between the swale area and
the pond area. The swale area dpes not cause drainage of the wetland area and this is why the NRCS
determined that this is minimal effect. Mr. Leistico referenced the Minimal Effect Agreement of the NRCS
that is a part of the record.
The Board was invited for questions. Discussion and clarification followed.
Recess & Reconvene
At 12:07 p.m., Chairman Johnson declared the Appeal Hearing recessed for a short break. The meeting
was reconvened at 12:16 p.m.
Staff Final Comments/Rebuttal:
The TEP addressed the Board regarding elevations, Level 1 hydrology, attempts at a voluntary restoration
agreement, and the difference between federal (NRCS) law and State law. State law is more restrictive
and compliance is required under both jurisdictions.
Appellant Final Comments/Rebuttal:
Attorney Leistico expressed his opinion that the TEP did not show that this area is a wetland, has not
verified that there is net loss, and if there was net loss, they are allowed to remove the cattails. The TEP
has not presented evidence. He requested that the Board approve the Frank appeal and determine no
WCA violation under the facts presented.
At 12:46 p.m., Chairman Johnson closed the Appeal Hearing to further comments and reconvened the
Board of Commissioners' meeting.
Board Deliberation of lnfonnation Presented:
Mr. Hauser informed the Board that the written findings must be drafted within ten days of making a
decision on the Frank WCA Appeal Hearing. Discussion took place regarding minimal effect, absence of a
spoil pile to do restoration and photos of the wet area back to 1981. A motion was offered by
Commissioner Lindquist and seconded by Commissioner Huebsch to affirm the Staff WCA decision and
deny the Minnesota Conservation Act No-Loss and Exemption Applications of Jennifer and Troy Frank.

deny Jennifer and Troy Frank's No-Loss Application. Chairman Johnson called for a roll call vote as
