� � <br /> Wetland hydrology is present at sample point 5-1 Wet as evidenced by the primary indicator A3 <br /> (Saturation) and secondary indicators D2 (Geomorphic Position) at�d DS (FAC-Neutral Test). <br /> .Although upland sample 5-2 L'p met both the wetland vegetation and soil indicators, it fails to <br /> meet the neces.4ary wetland hydrology indicator. While the secondary indicator FAC neutral test <br /> is met, its location on a hillslope disallows it from meeting hydrology indicatar D2 (Geomorphic <br /> positian).Additionally, unlike wetland sample 5-1 Wet, which gossesses saturation at 10 inches <br /> and a water table at 14 inches, neither saturation nor a water tablc were documented at upland <br /> sample point 5-1 Up. <br /> The shoreline of L,ake Minnetonka along Shoreline Drive was examined for the presence of <br /> wetland vegetation.The shoreline was devoid of any emergent species and was characterized by <br /> an abrupt berm caused by ice action. <br /> Detailed soils, vegetation, and hydrology data for the delineated jurisdictional wetlands are <br /> provided in the data sheets of the Technical Documents section. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> SER completed all on-site delineations based on the three required technical criteria as outlined <br /> by the 1987 Manual: the presence af hydric soils, a predominance of hydrophytic vegetadon, <br /> and indicatars af wetland hydrology in each basin.The wetland boundaries wcre flagged on 4/23 <br /> and 5/1/15 and field data were collected on 4/27/15 and 5/6/15. <br /> SER personnel examined the subject property for areas meeting jurisdictional wetland criteria <br /> during the site visit and delineated the edges of the intermittent�y inundated depression as being <br /> jurisdictional wetland. (Figures 5 and 6). Detailed soils, vegetation and hydrology data are <br /> provided in the data sheets of the Technical Documents section. A set of figures is provided in <br /> the Figures section. <br /> REC4MMENDATIONS <br /> Activities that impact or could potentially impact wetlands are regulated at several levels of <br /> gavern�mern. In Minnesota, the two primary jurisdictions are covered at the state and federal <br /> levels by the provisions of the following legislative actions. <br /> 1* State jurisdiction by the Wetland Conservatioz�Act of 1991 (WCA)administered by the <br /> WCA Local Governmental Unit{LGi.�. <br /> 2" Federal jwisdictian by the Clean WaterAct of 1972 and subsequent amendments. <br /> Wetland protection is implemented hy the Corps of Engineers{Corps}with permit <br /> certification issued by the Environmental Protection Agency. <br /> While the wetland boundaries that SER has delineated are not official until approved by a WCA <br /> approved (ocal government unit (LGi�, SER advises the property owner/developer to refrain <br /> from any filling, draining, or excavating, or any impact to the area SER has delineated as <br /> wetland. No grading or filling in wetlsnd basins should commence until all necessary permits <br /> Svobada Eoologicel Resouroea 6 1700 Shoreline Dr <br /> Project Number:2015-004-03 Orono,MN <br />
