RE: Flanders Mill 404 Application (NWO-2013-01559-MTB)
Dear Shannon, Enclosed is a 404 application and mitigation proposal for the Flanders Mill project in Bozeman, Montana.
The project site is the proposed location of a 136.75-acre residential housing development and is being
developed by Flanders Mill, LLC (E½, W½ Section 3, T2S, R5E).
Mitigation for loss of wetlands as a result of the Flanders Mill development will include: on- and off-site mitigation. Wetland mitigation credits will include on- and off-site creation and on-site enhancement,
restoration (re-establishment and rehabilitation), preservation, and creation of upland buffer. All stream
mitigation will occur on-site. Mitigation construction will be completed prior to filling any wetland or
stream with the exception of culvert and some foot bridge installations to avoid future wetland and stream disturbance. Wetland credits not met with on-site mitigation will be met by supplementing with off-site credits at the Knoll project site 0.25 mile north of Flanders Mill, which was completed in 2013.
If you have any questions regarding the Flanders Mill project or mitigation proposal, please contact me
with any questions at (406) 580-6993 or lbacon@terraquaticllc.com .
Sincerely,
Lynn Bacon
