Wetland mitigation site monitoring has been completed and continues in the following cities:
Minnetonka,

A wetland hydrology monitoring study is ongoing on a complex wetland mitigation area in Hennepin County. Our goal is to document the movement of groundwater in the north and a lake in the south to determine if wetland hydrology exists. Although this project is not large, the study will provide the decision makers on the TEP the information needed to determine the wetland boundary.
