Scandia WCA TEP and Interested Parties,
Attached is the WCA Notice of Application (NOA) and Wetland Replacement Application for the Argo
Navis site in Scandia. This application is the culmination of many months of coordination and fulfills the
recommendations of the WCA TEP. As this is a Wetland Replacement Application, the Notice of Decision
(NOD, which will be prepared after the 15-day comment period) cannot be approved by staff and must
go to City Council.
Please contact me if you have any questions or require any additional background information.
Regards. And Happy New Year!

Subject: Argo Navis Wetland Mitigation Banking Application - BHE Renewables
Importance: High
Hello TEP members,
Attached for your review and approval please find the application for the purchase of wetland
mitigation credits by BHE Renewables related to the 2018 stormwater discharge at the Argo Navis
Community Solar Garden located in Scandia, MN. Please note that early coordination with this
mitigation bank has been established and BHE is poised to move forward with this purchase as soon as
the TEP has approved the purchase, and hopefully at your earliest convenience.
Thank you all and happy new year,
Wendy Greene
