While onsite SER staff observed a small area in the southwest portion of the parcel that was <br /> � determined to be incidental wetland. A large culvert(approximately 16"in diameter)was observed <br /> , in the southwest corner of the par�cel discharging onto the property. Additionally, multiple eroded <br /> gullies along the north side road ditch were observed leading into the wetland and the north side road <br /> shoulder was highly eroded indicating significant �vater flow. Downstream from the culvert and <br /> , discharge area significant sedimentation was observed along with scattered debris and drift material. <br /> SER staff rnade note of this area due to donunance of reed canary grass and American elm(Ulma�s <br /> ar�tericana, FACW-). However, the area is steeply sloped, highly disturbed, and obviously <br /> influenced by roadside runoff and culvert discharge, Additionally, the incidental area lies several <br /> feet in elevation above the delineated wetland. <br /> �CO�NI)r�TI�NS <br /> While the wetland boundary that SER has delineated is not official until approved by a WCA <br /> approved local government unit(LGU), SER advises the property owner/developer to refrain from <br /> any filling, draining, or excavating, or any impact to the area SER has delineated as wetland. <br /> Depending on the location of the property,buffers around the wetland may also be protected. Any <br /> activities in the proximity of the wetland should be cleared with appropriate WCA regulatory <br /> agencies. It is also advisable to have the wetland boundary surveyed by a licensed Iand surveyor, or <br /> located with a sub-meter GPS unit. Since the lath used along the boundary can be vandalized or <br /> inadvertently knocked over, a survey or GPS location of the lath will assure the permanence of the <br /> boundary, The client should also be aware that approved wetland boundaries are typically valid for <br /> only three years from the date of approval. <br /> C�I�CLiJSIONS <br /> SER exarzuned the subject property and delineated one wetland within the subject parcel(Figure 5). <br /> Wetland 1 is a seasonally flooded depressional area within the parcel. Wetland 1 is influenced by the <br /> shallow groundwater table as well as surface water driven(perched)and is prominent throughout the <br /> Ye�'• . <br /> � Please feel free to contact Ben Carlson or Frank Svoboda at (952) 471-1100 if you have any <br /> questions regarding the information in this report.
