Prior to the approval of final grading plans, the locations of wetlands on the site shall be delineated and verified. . Ifwetlands are delineated on a site that would be adversely affected by the Project, then, prior to the approval of a final grading plan, a mitigation plan shall be prepared, including an avoidance alternative, that will meet federal and state requirements. If avoidance is not feasible, this plan must identify replacement wetlands at a 2: 1 ratio and five years of maintenance and monitoring following mitigation wetland construction.
