establishment of a buffer around the wetland. Wetlands excavated within the
Minnehaha Creek Watershed District must be replaced on aone-acre-for-one-acre
basis and within the same subwatershed, except that improvements to a degraded
wetland may be considered self-replacing.

office during normal business hours.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Richfield, Minnesota this 14th day of
