Detailed soils, vegetation, and hydrology data for the delineated jurisdictional wetlands are <br /> provided in the clata sheets of the Technical Documents section. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> A previous wetiand delineation was completed�br the 200 Stubbs Bay Road parcel by SER on <br /> 9/26/2005 (copy available upon request}.It was reviewed by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed <br /> District and a wetland type �d boundary approval was issued by MCWD on July 5,2006.Area <br /> A was examined in the prior delineation and determined to be non-wetland as was much of the <br /> area along the eastern edge of the former field/meadow(Area B sample point). Application of <br /> the 201d viidwest Regional Supplement methodology provides a different result in the wetland <br /> boundary in some instances. <br /> Vegetation at Area A was markedly different in 2014 than what occurred in 2005. No reed <br /> canary grass was noted in the 2005 suxvey whereas in 2014 it occupied �00 percent o�the area <br /> sampled. According to the report figures and documentation the samplad areas were likely nearly <br /> the same as the location in 2005 was described as a"�ow area". The"low area"is quite small and <br /> easily identifiable. <br /> SER completed a1I on-site delineations based on the three required technical criteria as outlined <br /> by the 1987 Manual: the presence of hydric soils, a predominance of hydrophytic vegetation, <br /> and indicators af wetland hydrology in each basin. The wetland boundary was flagged on <br /> 10/09/14 and field data was collected on 10/15/14. <br /> SER personnel exaznined the subject properly for areas meeting jurisdictional wetland criteria <br /> during the site visit and delineated the edges of the intermittently inundated depression as being <br /> jurisdictional wettand.

A set of figures is provided in <br /> the Figures section. <br /> RECUMMENDATIONS <br /> Activities that impact or could potentiially impact wetlands are regulated at several Ievels of <br /> government. In Minnesota, the two pri.m�ry jurisdictions are covered at the state azid federal <br /> levels by the provisions of the following legislative actions. <br /> ➢ State juri.sdiction by the Wetlaad Conservation Act of 1991 (WCA} administered <br /> by the WCA Local Goveinmental Unit{LGU}. <br /> ➢ Federal jurisdiction by the Clean Water Act of 1972 and subsequent amendments. <br /> Wetland protection is implemented by the Corps of Engineers(Corps)with pennit <br /> certification issued by the Environmental Protection Agency. <br /> While the wetland boundaries that SER has delineated are nat of�icial until approved by a WCA <br /> approved local government unit (LGU), SER advises the properiy ownerldeveloper to refrain <br /> from any filling, draining, or excavating, or any irnpact to tbe area SER has delineated as <br /> Svoboda Ecnlogical Resources 3U0 8�350 Stubbs Bsy Rasd <br /> Project Namber: 2014037-03 ( pro� <br />
