WETLANDS DELINEATION DOCUMENTATION FOR <br />JIM TOUVE <br />PROJECT IN ORONO. MN <br />John Anderson. EnviroData. Minneapolis. MN delineated and documented wetlands <br />^undaries on the subject property on April 23rd. 1997 at the request of Jim Touve. <br />This report provides information as to the dominant wetland characteristics at the site <br />as result of the investigation. The parameters of the wetland/upland boundaries are <br />provided in each delineation report form as this information is redundant below. <br />Please review documentation of these findings (referenced in report and site plan) A <br />sketch of the staked wetland boundaries is included in the report. <br />LOCATION <br />Lots 57. 58. 59. 60. and 61 <br />HIghwood Lake of Minnetonka <br />Cfono. Minnesota <br />METHODOLOGY <br />Wetlands were identified and delineated using the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands <br />Manual (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. 1987) Revisions to the former <br />method have been proposed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and are <br />currently under review.
