syriaca FACU). The soils at sample point SP 1-3 consis ed of layers of silt loam becoming more of a silt clay loam as depth increased. At sample p int SP 1-3 the secondary indicators D2 (Geomorphic Position) and DS (FAC-Neutral Test) wer present, indicating wetland hydrology. Detailed soils, vegetation, and hydrology data for th delineated jurisdictional wetlands are provided in the data sheets of the Technical Documents ection. DISCUSSI SER completed all on-site delineations based on the th ee required technical criteria as outlined by the 1987 Manual: the presence of hydric soils, a redominance of hydrophytic vegetation, and indicators of wetland hydrology in each basin. The site visit portion of the wetland delineation was completed on 10/08/13. SER personnel examined the subject property for are meeting jurisdictional wetland criteria during the site visit and delineated the western, south and northern edges of the seasonally inundated depression as being jurisdictional wetland, li ely a PEMC Type L (Figure 5). Detailed soils, vegetation and hydrology data is provided in the data sheets of the Technical Documents section.A set of figures is provided in the Figures sectio . RECOMMENDA IONS Activities that impact or could potentially impact we lands are regulated at several levels of government. In Minnesota, the two primary jurisdicti ns are covered at the state and federal levels by the provisions of the following legislative acti ns. 1* State jurisdiction by the Wetland Conservation A t of 1991 (WCA) administered by the WCA Local Governmental Unit(LGU). 2* Federal jurisdiction by the Clean WaterAct of 1 72 and subsequent amendments. Wetland protection is implemented by the Corps f Engineers (Corps)with permit certification issued by the Environmental Protect on Agency. While the wetland boundaries that SER has delineated re not official until approved by a WCA approved local government unit (LGU), SER advises he property owner/developer to refrain from any filling, draining, or excavating, or any im act to the area SER has delineated as wetland. No grading or filling in wetland basins shoul commence until all necessary permits have been obtained. Violation of wetland regulations m y result in substantial civil and criminal penalties. Local ordinances may regulate wetland modi ications such as brush and tree removal and burning in addition to grading and filling. Dependi g on the location of the property, buffers around the wetland may also be protected. Any activiti s in the proximity of the wetland should be cleared with appropriate WCA regulatory agencies. It is also advisable to have the wetland boundary surveyed by a licensed land surveyor. Since t e pin flags used along the boundary can be vandalized or inadvertently knocked over, a GP survey of the flags will assure the permanence of the boundary. The client should also be ware that approved wetland boundaries are typically valid for only three years from the date of proval.
