Executive Summary <br /> ISG completed a wetland investigation within a 3.66 acre project area on May 3, 2016 (as shown on the <br /> attached Figures) for future development. The project is located at 2525, 2535, and 2545 Shadywood <br /> in Orono, Minnesota. <br /> This wetland investigation was performed in accordance with the 1987 US Army Corps of Engineers <br /> Wetland 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 /> project area. Wetland determinations were based on the three required technical criteria: occurrence of <br /> hydric soil, predominance of hydrophytic vegetation, and the presence of one primary and/or two <br /> secondary indicators of wetland hydrology. Potential wetland areas (mapped hydric soils, NWI <br /> signatures, and low depressional areas) were investigated on-site and delineated as upland. <br /> One (1) wetland was delineated during the field investigation. The delineated wetland was a Type 3 <br /> Shallow Marsh. Adjacent upland area was forested rolling hills to the north, Kelly Road to the south, <br /> additional wetland to the west, and residential homes to the east. <br /> Project Description <br /> INTRODUCTION <br /> ISG was retained to identify and delineate all wetland areas that exist within the project boundary. The <br /> wetland investigation area (project area) encompasses three parcels totaling 3.66 acres at 2525, 2535, <br /> and 2545 Shadywood Road, 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 future 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 /> LOCATION <br /> The project area is located at 2525, 2535, and 2545 Shadywood Road in Section 20, T117N, R23W, in <br /> the city of Orono, Minnesota (See Appendix A for a location map). The site is located within an Unknown <br /> minor watershed (20118) and the Mississippi River—Twin Cities major watershed (20). The topography <br /> of the site ranges in elevation from approximately 928'to 952'above ms]. At the time of this delineation, <br /> 2525 Shadywood Road Page 1 <br />
