ABSTRACT
Svoboda Ecological Resources (SER) visited the above referenced property on September 29,
2011 to examine the site for the presence of areas meeting wetland criteria. The study parcel is
located within the City of Orono, Hennepin County Minnesota, (Figure 1). Two wetlands,
connected by a drainage way, were delineated at this site. One sample transect was established
along each of the two wetland boundaries and drainage way in order to characterize the soil,
vegetation, and existing hydrology within the wetland-to-upland transition zones. The two
delineated wetlands had similar vegetation and moisture regimes so they were delineated as one
wetland complex given that they are connected by a drainage way.
INTRODUCTION
The subject parcel is approximately 3.9 acres in size with a single family home located at the
southeast portion of the property. The site is dominated by gasses, hardwood trees and some
scrub-shrub vegetation throughout. Manicured lawn is noted near the home. A drainage way
extends between the two delineated wetlands within the forested area. The topography of the site
is mostly flat within the wetland areas and has minor undulations throughout the upland. The
upland gradually declines in slope toward the wetland areas. The surrounding land use consists
mostly of single-family homes. The identified wetlands were classified according to the
Cowardin et al., the Circular 39 and the Eggers and Reed classification systems and marked with
pink "Wetland Delineation" pin flags. Please find within the Technical Documentation Section;
field data sheets, plant indicator status information, soil survey information, and wetland
definition information.
METHODS
The methods used to delineate the subject parcel are as described in the 1987 US Army Corps of
Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and the 2010 Midwest Regional Supplement Manual.
In the 1987 Manual, the methods used were described under the "routine" methods for wetland
sites less than 5 acres. This methodology is followed in order to assess whether the three
parameters of a wetland are met for areas on the subject parcel. The three parameters required
under normal circumstances in order to delineate a wefland are described in the Technical
Documentation Section.
The Midwest Regional Supplement Wetland Delineation Manual is also being utilized to
increase the accuracy of our wetland boundaries. This addendum to the original 87 Manual was
created to address the many regional differences that affect wetlands and the delineation methods
used throughout the country. The following explanations are passages from that document.
Svoboda Ecological Resources 2900 Deer Run Trail
Project No.:2011-026 1 Marcia Hammond
"This Regional Supplement is part of a nationwide effort to address regional
wetland characteristics and improve the accuracy and efficiency of wetland-
delineation procedures. Regional differences in climate, geology, soils,
hydrology plant and animal communities, and other factors are important to the
identification and functioning of wetlands. These differences cannot be
considered adequately in a single national manual. The development of this
supplement follows National Academy of Sciences recommendations to increase
the regional sensitivity of wetland-delineation methods (National Research
Council 1995).The intent of this supplement is to bring the Corps Manual up to
date with current knowledge and practice in the region and not to change
wetland boundaries." "...This Regional Supplement is designed for use with the
current version of the Corps Manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987) and ail
subsequent versions. Where differences in the two documents occur, this
Regional Supplement takes precedence over the Corps Manual for applications
in the Midwest Region."
National Wetland Inventory (NW� maps (Figure 2), Web Soil Survey of Orono and Hennepin
County maps (Figure 3), Minnesota Protected Waters maps (Figure 4), and 2010 aerial
photographs were reviewed prior to the site visit to identify areas that may be wetlands. Areas
illustrating evidence of wetland conditions were examined in greater detail during the field
survey. Vegetation, soils and hydrology were examined (as outlined in the 1987 Manual) and
used to characterize wetland types and determine wetland boundaries. Sample transects were
established in representative wetland-to-upland transition zones in order to characterize the
vegetation, soils, and hydrology of the site. Transects consisted of a representative upland
sample point and a representative wetland sample point. Information obtained from the sample
points can be found on the field data sheets located in the Technical Documentation Section.
Wetland boundaries were marked at the site by pink "Wetland Delineation" pin flags. The
wetland boundary is considered to be the topographically highest extent of the wetland basin;
areas below the staked boundary met the three required wetland criteria while areas above were
lacking in one or more of these criteria. Wetland classification followed methods described by
Cowardin et al. (1979) and used in the NWI (e.g. PEMB, PSS1C, etc.), completed by the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service. The Circular 39 and Eggers and Reed classification systems are also
given. The indicator status of plants, as described in The Technical Documentation Section, was
determined using the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands — Region 3 (Sabine
1999).
RESULTS
Background Information-(Office-Based Investigation)
The NWI map (Excelsior Quadrangle) illustrates two National Wetland Inventory wetlands (one
PEMF and one PEM/SS 1 C)present within the property boundary(Figure 2).
The Web Soil Survey of Orono and Hennepin County classifies two soil complexes and two
other individual soil series' present on the subject properiy (Figure 3). One mapped complex and
one individual soil series was classified the "hydric" soil. The other mapped soil complex and
Svoboda Ecological Resources 2900 Deer Run Trail
Project No.:2011-026 2 Marcia Hammond
individual soil series was classified as "non-hydric" soil. These soil series descriptions are given
in the Technical Documentation Section.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, State Protected Waters Map (Public Water
Inventory), indicates no Public Water wetlands present within the property boundary(Figure 4).
Site Visit
SER ecologists examined the subject property for areas meeting jurisdictional wetland criteria
during the site visit. Two wetlands connected by a drainage way met the jurisdictional criteria of
a wetland. One wetland boundary was determined and delineated. The approximate wetland
boundary is outlined in yellow (Figure 5). As mentioned in the abstract, the two delineated
wetlands had similar vegetation and moisture regimes so they were delineated as one wetland
complex given that they are connected by a drainage way.
Dominant vegetation within both Wetlands 1 and lA was broad-leaf cattail (Typha latifolia,
OBL), lake sedge (Carex lacustris, OBL) and river burush (Scirpus fluviatilis). Reed canary
grass (Phalaris arundinacea) was also dominant within Wetland 1 along the fringes. Hummock
sedge (Carex stricta, OBL) may be dominant further within the interior of both Wetlands 1 and
lA but could not be confirmed.
Wetland 1
Wetland 1 is located at the west end of the property. The vegetation transition zone along Sample
Transect 1-1 started with a dominance of reed canary grass at Sample Point (SP) 1-1 WET and
one other FACU non-dominant equaling about 97 percent coverage.
The vegetation transition to upland also yielded a dominance of reed canary grass but with less
abundance. The remaining plants were UPL, FACU and FAC non-dominants. The dominance
test and the prevalence index were met, however. Total coverage of upland vegetation was 97
percent at the upland point.
Soils at SP 1-1 WET were made up of three stratums, all of which had low chroma and value
with sandy, loamy and clayey textures down to 22 inches. All three horizons had 5 percent or
more prominent redox concentrations and depleted mottles throughout. Soils at SP 1-1 UP were
similar in color and texture as the wetland point down to 21 inches but with only 1 percent redox
concentrations between 15 and 19 inches.
Two secondary hydrology indicators were noted at the wetland point and one secondary
indicator was noted at the upland point.
SER delineated Wetland 1 as a Type 2/3,PEMB/F,Wet Meadow and Shallow Marsh wetland
complex. Wetland 1 connects with Wetland lA, which further defines the complex that will be
described at the end of the Results section.
Svoboda Ecological Resources 2900 Deer Run Trail
Project No.:2011-026 3 Mazcia Hammond
Wetland lA
The vegetation transition zone along Sample Transect 1-3 at the wetland point started with a
dominance of reed canary grass, bittersweet nightshade (Solanum dulcamara), porcupine sedge
(Carex hystericina), beggertick (Bidens cerna) and two upland tree species along with several
other FAC W non-dominants equaling about 54 percent coverage at the herb layer.
The vegetation transition to upland yielded a dominance sugar maple(Acer saccharum)trees and
common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) as an herb. Total coverage of vegetation within the
upland herb layer was 25 percent with the remaining area being bare soil.
Soils at SP 1-3 WET were low chroma and value down to 14 inches and transitioned to a
depleted matrix down to 22. More than 20 percent redox concentrations were noted starting at 8
inches and continuing throughout the remainder of the profile. Textures were loamy mucky
mineral at the surface horizon down to 8 inches and became a silty clay loam for the remainder
of the profile.
Soils at SP 1-3 UP were low chroma and value down to 13 inches and then became depleted.
Redox concentrations started at 13 inches but were only 1 percent of the matrix. Textures were
more sandy and loamy at the surface and became more clayey at the bottom of the described
profile.
Surface saturation was noted at the wetland sample point. SP 1-3 UP had no indicators of
hydrology, however.
SER delineated Wetland lA as a Type 3,PEM/SS1F, Shallow Marsh wetland. Wetland lA
connects with Wetland 1, which further defines the complex that will be described at the end of
the Results section.
Dranageway
The vegetation transition zone along Sample Transect 1-2 at the wetland point had a dominance
of green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) and boxelder (Acer negundo) trees and transitioned to
sugar maple trees and herbaceous common buckthorn in the upland.
Soils at SP 1-2 WET were made up of two stratums that were both black with loamy and clayey
textures down to 24 inches. The surface horizon had 5 percent prominent redox concentrations.
Soils at SP 1-2 UP were similar in color and texture as the wetland point down to 18 inches but
more sandy.
Hydrology indicators at the wetland sample point included an algal mat (B4) and sparsely
vegetated concave surface(B8) along with three additional secondary indicators.
SER delineated the drainageway area as a connection between wetlands 1 and lA and is
therefore considered part of the same wetland complex as Wetlands 1 and lA. The complex of
these wetlands(Wetland 1, lA and the Drainageway) is Type 2/3, PEM/SS1/B/F, Wet Meadow
Svoboda Ecological Resources 2900 Deer Run Trail
Project No.:201 I-026 4 Marcia Hammond
and Shallow Marsh wetland complex.
DISCUSSION
SER completed all on-site delineations based on the three required technical criteria as outlined
by the 1987 Manual: the presence of hydric soils, a predominance of hydrophytic vegetation, and
indicators of wetland hydrology in each basin. The site visit portion of the wetland delineation
was completed on September 29, 201 l.
SER personnel examined the subject property for areas meeting jurisdictional wetland criteria
during the site visit and delineated the edge of one wetland basin consisting of two wetland types
within the property boundary as being jurisdictional wetland(Figure 5). Both basins are a part of
the same wetland complex. Detailed soils, vegetation and hydrology data for Wetlands 1, lA and
the drainage way that connects them is provided in the data sheets of The Technical
Documentation Section.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Activities which impact or potentially impact wetlands are currently regulated at several levels of
government. In Minnesota, the two primary jurisdictions are covered at the state and federal
levels by the provisions of the following legislative actions.
➢ State jurisdiction by the Wetland Conservation Act of 1991 (WCA) administered
by the WCA Local Governmental Unit(LGU).
➢ Federal jurisdiction by the Clean Water Act of 1972 and subsequent amendments.
Wetland protection is implemented by the Corps of Engineers(Corps)with permit
certification issued by the Environmental Protection Agency.
While the wetland boundaries that SER has delineated are not official until approved by a WCA
approved local government unit (LGL�, SER advises the property owner/developer to refrain
from any filling, draining, or excavating, or any impact to the area SER has delineated as
wetland. No grading or filling in wetland basins should commence until all necessary permits
have been obtained. Violation of wetland regulations has resulted in substantial civil and
criminal penalties. Local ordinances may regulate wetland modifications such as brush and tree
removal and burning in addition to grading and filling. Depending on the location of the
property, buffers around the wetland may also be protected. Any activities in the proximity of
the wetland should be cleared with appropriate WCA regulatory agencies. It is also advisable to
have the wetland boundary surveyed by a licensed land surveyor. Since the pin flags used along
the boundary can be vandalized or inadvertently knocked over, a GPS survey of the flags will
Svoboda Ecological Resources 2900 Deer Run Trail
Project No.:2011-026 5 Marcia Hammond
assure the permanence of the boundary. The client should also be aware that approved wetland
boundaries are typically valid for only three years from the date of approval.
To avoid project delays associated with wetland regulations, it is essential that you acquire
necessary permits from all jurisdictional agencies before continuing activities. A WCA
Sequencing form, a WCA and Army Corps of Engineers Replacement Plan Application form,
and a DNR pernut application are among the materials that you may be required to submit if
impacts are proposed for the delineated wetlands. By initiating the pernut process as soon as
possible,potential costly delays to the project may be avoided.

THE TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION SECTION
Wetland Definirion
WETLAND DEFINITION
According to the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers "Wetlands Delineation Manual" (1987
Manual; the document used by all delineators to define wetlands) a wetland is "Those areas that
are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to
support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically
adapted for life in saturated soil conditions." The Minnesota State Wetland Conservation Act
Rules, Chapter 8420, further clarifies that "...wetlands must: (1) have a predominance of hydric
soils; (2) be inundated or saturated by surface water or groundwater at a frequency and duration
sufficient to support a prevalence of hydrophytic vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated
soil conditions; and (3) under normal circumstances, support a prevalence of hydrophytic
vegetation." The 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Manual in Part II, item 24. states that,
"The interaction of hydrology, vegetation, and soil results in the development of characteristics
unique to wetlands. Therefore, the following technical guidelines for wetlands are based on the
three parameters, and diagnostic environmental characteristics used in applying the technical
guideline are represented by various indicators of these parameters." It is this premise by which
SER ecologists has, in their professional�judgment, delineated the wetlands on the subject parcel
described in this report.
Wetland Hydrology
The most important wetland criterion is hydrology. The presence and persistence of water
influences the vegetation types and changes soil morphology. Hydrology may be observed as
standing water(inundation), or may be observed as freestanding water within the soil pit or auger
hole (saturation) usually within the upper 12 inches. This is what would be considered primary
hydrology indicators. Only one primary indicator is necessary to make the determination that
wetland hydrology indeed exists. The 1987 Corps Manual also has a range of hydrologic zones
established based on period of inundation or saturation. These zones and the periods of
inundation or saturation for each can be observed in Table 1 below.

A-1
The definition of appropriate hydrology according to the 1987 Manual includes two important
terms that must be clarified. First, the definition of a growing season is needed. The growing
season is defined in the 1987 Manual as: "...the portion of the year when soil temperature
(measured 19.7 inches below the surface) is above biological zero (5° C or 41° F)." According to
the 1987 Manual this period of time can be approximated by using the "starting and ending dates
for the growing season based on a 28° F air temperature threshold at a frequency of 5 years in
10." Based on this definition the growing season ranges approximately 160 days to 180 days in
the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area(160 in the northern suburbs and greater to the south).
Therefore, the required inundation or saturation to the surface for 5% of the growing season
would be 8 or 9 consecutive days that ground water would need to be at the surface or saturated
to the surface.
The second term in the appropriate hydrology definition from the above paragraph to be clarified
is "in most years". This means in 5 of 10 years hydrology must exist within a "jurisdictional
wetland" for the 8 or 9 consecutive days of the growing season. This means that one observation
date or even one whole year worth of detailed hydrology data may be deemed insufficient to
deternune if appropriate hydrology exists at a given location. In the event that precipitation
events accumulate to above or below normal during just prior to a site visit or during a more
intensive hydrology study, the data may be confounded by non-normal circumstances and may
be considered outside the bounds of "most years". Ideally, both antecedent soil moisture
conditions and precipitation would be normal during all delineations. However, this is not a
realistic impression of climate. Therefore, primary indicators of hydrology must be reviewed
with scrutiny prior to determining if hydrology indeed exists.
Wetland hydrology may be observed as standing water (inundation), or may be observed as
freestanding water within a soil pit or auger hole (saturation)usually within the upper 12 inches.
This is what would be considered primary hydrology indicators. Examination of this indicator
requires digging a soil pit to a depth of 16 inches and observing the level at which water stands
after sufficient time has been allowed for water to drain into the hole. The required time will
vary depending on soil texture. This level represents the depth to the water table; the depth to
saturated soils will always be nearer the surface due to the capillary fringe. According to the
Hydrology criteria in the 1987 Delineation Manual, for soil saturation to impact vegetation, it
must occur within a major portion of the root zone, typically within 12 inches of the surface.
Only one primary indicator is necessary to make the deteimination that wetland hydrology is
present. However, since a single observation is not enough evidence, based on the percentage of
the growing season this inundation or saturation is required, these data are only valid when
reviewed while also considering the abundance of recent precipitation events or the seasonal
trend of climate when the site visit was made (this may be done through review of precipitation
records where available). In addition to the primary indicators of wetland hydrology, there are
secondary indicators (e.g. oxidized root channels, water-stained leaves, local soil survey data,
FAC-Neutral test), of which two must be present to consider the sample point as having wetland
hydrology.
A-2
Hydrophytic Vegetation (Wetland Vegetation)
Wetland vegetation is defined in the 1987 Manual as "The sum total of macrophytic plant life
growing in water or on a substrate that is at least periodically deficient in oxygen as a result of
excessive water content. When hydrophytic vegetation comprises a community where indicators
of hydric soils and wetland hydrology also occur, the area has wetland vegetation." In more
standard terms, some plants are more adapted to growing within inundated or saturated soil.
Based on literature records and professional experience, a panel of experts compiled a list of
plant species and assigned each a hydrophytic status (described below and includes five major
classes of probability of a plant occurring within a wetland).
In terms of delineation there is a gradient of plant species that are adapted to "growing in water
or on substrate that is at least periodically deficient of oxygen". Fieldwork associated with
wetland delineations includes a procedure (the 50/20 Rule, for determination of dominance),
which is also outlined in the 1987 Manual, by which to determine if hydrophytic plant species
dominate the vegetation at a given location. This procedure has been used for the wetland
delineation at the subject parcel of this report.
Hydric Soil
Defined in the 1987 Manual as "A soil that is saturated, flooded, or ponded long enough during
the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions that favor the growth and regeneration of
hydrophytic vegetation. Hydric soils that occur in areas having positive indicators of
hydrophytic vegetation and wetland hydrology are wetland soils."
For the purposes of delineation of wetlands, soils cannot be viewed without digging pits or
extracting soil using an auger. Therefore, transects of soil samples are taken from perceived
upland to perceived wetlands along a transitional boundary. There are specific color indicators,
textures, and depth requirements in the soil that are reviewed in order to determine whether
hydric soils occur at a given point or not. After a transect of soil samples has been taken, upon
consideration of vegetation and indicators of appropriate hydrology a working prototype for the
given wetland is developed by the delineator. The wetland delineator then uses this working
prototype to complete the location of the remainder of the wetland boundary, unless the wetland
is large enough or the landscape features (vegetation or topography) change enough to warrant
additional transect samples.
