WETLAND PROJECT '~ aL
DESCRIPTION T~
PROJECT: Wonderland Creek Trail Connection
Location: Wonderland Creek, South of Elks Club
APPLICANT: City of Boulder, Public Works Department
Contact Person: Annie Noble (303-441-3242)
DESIGNATED WETLAND: Wetland #135, Wonderland Creek
Functional Value Ratings: Wetlands at the project site consist of Wonderland Creek, which is
contained with an eight inch wide concrete channel. There is some wetland vegetation that is
established within the channel but it is removed periodically by Urban Drainage and Flood
Control District during dredging and cleaning of the concrete channel for maintenance purposes.
The creek does not carry a perennial flow. Functions and values of the Wonderland Creek
wetlands include within basin food chain support, groundwater discharge, wildlife habitat,
passive recreation, and short term nutrient retention.
PROJECT/ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: Proposed improvements include the installation of abicycle/
pedestrian trail over Wonderland Creek to connect the existing path at 26`h Street to the Four-
Mile Canyon Creek path and 28`h Street. Wetland functions and values of Wonderland Creek
will not be reduced by the new path crossing. Impacts to the Wonderland Creek regulated
wetlands have been minimized and will be negligible.
BASIS of APPROVAL: Construction ofbicycle/pedestrian paths maybe permitted under Section
9-12-8, "Standards for Wetland Permits," Boulder Revised Code 1981 (B.R.C.), if the applicant
has demonstrated:
(a) That all adverse impacts on a wetland have been avoided through a reduction in
size, scope or density of the project, or through a change in configuration or design,
or that it is not feasible to do so;
The alternative to construction of the path at the proposed location, is to utilize existing
streets, paths, and roads for the bicycle and pedestrian connection. This was not
considered a feasible option given the existing street layout of the area.
%~
Wonderland Creek Trail Connection WETLAND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
(b) That any impact on a wetland has been minimized, will result in minimal impact or
impairment to any wetland function, and will not jeopardize the continued existence
of habitat for identified plant, animal or other wildlife species;
The direct impact to the Wonderland Creek regulatory wetland will be minimized by the
following of the Wetlands Protection Program Best Management Practices.
No habitat for federally listed Threatened and Endangered Species or city of Boulder
species of concern will be impacted. Habitat for the threatened Ute Ladies' Tresses
Orchid (Spiranthes diluvialis) or Preble's Meadow Jumping Mouse (Zapus hudsonius
preblei) does not exist at the site. Wetland functional value ratings will not be adversely
affected as a result of this activity.
(c) That the project is in the public interest, considering the public need, the functional
values of the wetland that may be affected, the extent and permanence of any
adverse effects and the cumulative adverse effects of past activities on the wetland,
and the uniqueness and scarcity of the wetland that may be affected.
Construction of the proposed bicycle/ pedestrian path is for public use and in the public
interest. Completion of the path will increase the quality and safety of bicycle and
pedestrian transportation in the area ofFour-Mile and Wonderland Creek and is
consistent with the City of Boulder Transportation Master Plan goals. Direct impacts to
the Wonderland Creek regulatory wetland are negligible. The wetland will not be
adversely affected by the proposed improvements.
Considering the standards outlined under Section 9-12-8, staff finds that the proposed project
meets the intent of 9-12-1, B.R.C.
