Executive Summary <br /> ISG completed a wetland investigation within a 2.20 acre project area for future improvements to <br /> residential property, located south of Shoreline Drive in the City of Orono, Minnesota, on May 25, 2016 <br /> (as shown on the attached Figures). <br /> This investigation was performed in accordance with the 1987 US Army Corps of Engineers Wetland <br /> Delineation Manual and the 2010 Midwest Regional Supplement, and all applicable supporting <br /> documents for areas meeting wetland criteria for a routine wetland delineation in accordance to the MN <br /> Wetland Conservation Act and the US Army Corps of Engineers Section 404 Program. <br /> Vegetation, soil and hydrology sampling have been completed on all potential wetland areas within the <br /> subject property. Wetland determinations were based on the three required technical criteria: <br /> occurrence of hydric soil, predominance of hydrophytic vegetation, and the presence of one primary <br /> and/or two secondary indicators of wetland hydrology. Potential wetland areas (mapped hydric soils, <br /> NWI signatures, and low depressional areas) were investigated on-site and delineated as upland. <br /> Two (2) wetlands were delineated during the field investigation. The delineated wetlands were both <br /> Type 3 Shallow Marsh. Adjacent upland area is dominated by wooded and vegetated areas in a <br /> residential setting. <br /> Project Description <br /> -�.4-..� �:;�, �. a ,r__�,. ,�r,< <br /> ISG was retained to investigate and delineate wetland areas that exist within the investigation boundary. <br /> The wetland investigation boundary encompasses 2.20 acres south of Shoreline Drive and west of <br /> Ferndale Road West, in Orono, Minnesota. <br /> The purpose of the wetland investigation is to accurately identify wetland areas onsite so that they can <br /> be incorporated into plans for the development of the property. <br /> This report is intended to facilitate any regulatory discussions of Wetland Conservation Act and Clean <br /> Water Act Section 10/404 permitting for this project. <br /> The investigation area is located south of Shoreline Drive in Section 2, T117N, R23W, in the city of <br /> Orono, Minnesota (See Appendix A for a location map). The site is located within the Mississippi River- <br /> Twin Cities (20) major watershed and the From Lake Minnetonka (20055) minor watershed.
