Local Government Unit (LGU)
The WCA is administered by a LGU. You should contact the appropriate LGU prior to starting any project and inquire about the necessary procedures.
Anoka Conservation District
State statute identifies this agency as an informational clearinghouse for the entire County. If unclear how the WCA relates to your project, contact the ACD and they will get you started in the correct direction. ACD technical staff will be able to explain the WCA Rules and ensure that you contact all appropriate agencies. They can also perform on site wetland consultations, conduct wetland delineations, and develop, review, and monitor replacement/restoration plans for a fee. Contact Dennis Rodacker for more information.
