Weinberger <br />Zoning Administrator/Planner III <br />City of Orono <br />P.O. Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay. MN 55323 <br />'-/I <br />.RE: SER Project Name: <br />.SER Project No.: <br />Dear Mr. Weinberger," <br />Van Eeckliout - Orono Parcel Delineation <br />98-060-03 <br />• • • <br />The purpose of this letter is to provide you with an update regarding the above project. To briefly review <br />its status, this parcel >va? visited by Svoboda Ecological Resources (SER) on October 14, 1998. At this <br />>time, two areas were determined to be jurisdictional wetland and were delineated by SER (see SER <br />Report No. 98-060-03 for more detail). The edges of these wetlands were located by SER using a <br />Trimble Ag 132 GPS equipned with a. Juniper Systems field data collector. Positions were differentially <br />corrected in real-time using signals transmitted by the Coast Guard station in Alma, Wisconsin. This <br />system is capable of sub-meter accuracy when using real-time differential correction in the field. <br />In 2000, SER determined that the boundaries of Basin. 1. needed revision due to factors that were not <br />evident at the time of field visitation. The northern boundary was redrawn and reduced (Figure 1). .This. <br />revision was due to the presence pfsand and gravel fill found in this area, which indicated that it would <br />not meet jurisdictional wetland status. In addition, the boundary of the northwestern finger of this basin <br />was redrawn and reduced (Figure 1). This reed canary grass dominated area,recently has become drier <br />due to the presence of a drainage ditch. Thus, the extent of the wetland bqundary as* was determined in <br />1998 was decided to over-exaggerate the scope of the northwestern wetland edge. Please note that the <br />rnodified boundaries on Figure 1 are not exact and are subject to field verification. .. •• <br />« ••• <br />Should you have any questions about these revised boundaries, please cal! me. <br />Sincerely, ‘ ' <br />Svoboda Ecological Resources ... <br />Franklin J.
