LGU Findings and Conclusions(attach additional sheets as necessary):
On July 25,2011,the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District(1VICWD)received an application for
approval of wetland type&boundary for the parcel located at 2940 Fox Street in the city of Orono(PID
#04-117-23-31-0017). The application was completed on July 26, 2011. The delineation was reviewed
in the field on August 22, 2011 by MCWD staff.
During the field review, it was noted that an area south of the house displayed wetland characteristics but
was not investigated or delineated as wetland in the report. Arrowhead Environmental Consulting (AEC)
clarified that this area was not investigated for the presence of wetland because it would not affect a
backyard pool.installation project(for which the delineation was conducted),and revised figures were
received on August 26, 2011 (labeled Figure 1R,2R, 3R, 4R, & SR)that accurately display the area that
was investigated for wetland. The revised figures are attached.
One Type 2/3 (fresh wet meadow/shallow marsh)wetland was identified within the investigated area
(Wetland 1). After further discussion with AEC,Wetland 1 was determined instead to be solely a Type 3
(shallow marsh)PEMCd wetland,rather than a Type 2/3 fresh wet meadow/shallow marsh wetland as
described in the delineation report.

dated July 22,2011 is approved by MCWD with the following conditions:
CONDITIONS:
