Cove 3 had a more developed braided wetland/stream system where Wheatley Run and other tributaries entered the northern side of the lake. This wetland was still demarcated by the end of wetland vegetation before becoming open water.

Note that the 100-year nontidal FEMA floodplain expands past the edges of the water (see attachment). If staging is proposed within the floodplain, this would require authorization as a temporary impact, as long as the area was returned to prior conditions following the work.

It was discussed that dredging should be avoided within any of the shallower areas where wetlands are present. If dredging must occur near these areas, please discuss further with MDE once plans are designed to determine what kind of authorization may be required.
