Wetland Delineation Report
Spring Hill Golf Club
Orono, Minnesota
December 5, 2011
Background
Graham Environmental Services, Inc. (GES)was retained to delineate wetlands
in the vicinity of two areas proposed for improvement at the Spring Hill Golf Club.
The site is located in part of the NW '/ SE '/. Section 26, T118N, R23W,
Hennepin County, Minnesota (Figure 1). As shown on the U.S.G.S. Quadrangle
map (Figure 2), the topography on the site is rolling.
On October 24, 2011, GES conducted an evaluation of the site, collecting data
and ctelineating two wetland boundaries as shown on a recent aerial photograph
in Figure 3.
Methodologies
The wetlands were delineated using the on-site methods contained in the
"Routine Determinations" section of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers "Wetlands
Delineation Manual" (Technical Report Y-87-1, 1987), as well as "Interim Regional
Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation ManuaL• Midwest Region"
(U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 2010). This is the methodology currently used to
determine wetlands by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for implementation of Section
404 of the Clean Water Act and by Local Govemment Units under the Wetland
Conservation Act.
GES classified the wetlands under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS)
Cowardin system, Circular 39 and Eggers and Reed methodologies. Soil colors
described herein follow Munsell Soil Color Charts. Hydric soil properties
described follow Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States (Untied
States Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service.
2010. Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States, Version 7.0. L.M.
Vasilias, G.W. Hurt and C.V. Noble (eds.). USDA, NRCS, in cooperation with the
National Technical Committee for Hydric Soils).

Results
We�and A
GES delineated a narrow wetland band that bisects a fairway and connects to
additional wetland to the west and east. We would classify the portion of the
wetland within the fairway as seasonally-flooded palustrine emergent (PEMC)
which equates to Type 3 inland fresh shallow marsh under the Circular 39
classification system and 136 Shallow Marsh under the Eggers and Reed
system.
The wetland was evaluated along one transect on the south side of the wetland
strip as indicated in Figure 3. The upland and wetland data collection points
were located approximately at each end of the transect line indicated in Figure 3.
The upland is described as mowed fairway consisting of Kentucky bluegrass
(Poa pratensis). The upland slope adjacent to the delineated wetland boundary
rises relatively abruptly and consists of"rough° within a fairway. The transition
befinreen the wetland and uplarxi at the transect location is characterized by a
relatively abrupt change from OBL vegetation to FAC vegetation. Soils also
demonstrated a relatively abrupt change from dark and gleyed silt loam and clay
loam to lighter colored mixed fill.
WeUand B
GES delineated a portion of the edge of this wetland which is part of the same
wetland that was delineated as "Wetland A" to the north. We would classify the
portion of the wetland we delineated as a combination of saturated palustrine
emergerit/seasonally-flooded palustrine emergent(PEMB/PEMC)which equates
to Type 2 inland fresh meadow/Type 3 inland fresh shallow marsh under the
Circular 39 classification system and 15B Fresh (Wet) Meadow/13B Shallow
Marsh under the Eggers and Reed system.
The wetland was evaluated along finro transects as indicated in Figure 3. The
upland and wetland data collection points were located approximately at each
end of the transect lines indicated in Figure 3. The upland at the east transect
(Transect 1) is described as upland shrubs, trees and "old field" consisting
predominantly of staghom sumac and smooth brome. The upland slope adjacent
to the delineated wetland boundary rises relatively abruptly. The transition
between the wetland and upland at the transect location is characterized by a
relatively abrupt change from FACW and OBL vegetation (Phalaris arundinacea
and Carex lacustris)to mixed vegetation (sumac, brome, gray dogwood). Soils
also demonstrated a relatively abrupt change from very black mucky loam to
lighter sandy loam and loamy sands.

The upland at the west transect (Transect 2) is described as planted native
prairie consisting predominantly of switch grass and big bluestem. The upland
slope adjacent to the delineated wetland boundary rises relatively abruptly. The
transition befinreen the wetland and upland at the transect location is
characterized by a relatively abrupt change from FACW and OBL vegetation to
FAC vegetation. Soils also demonstrated a relatively abrupt change from very
black mucky loam to lighter sandy loam and loamy sands.
For more detailed information on each wetland, see data forms in Appendix A.
Jurisdictional boundaries on the wetlands were established where the soil
profiles in the upland soils demonstrated a lighter matrix tone, there was a
change in plant communities, hydrology indicators were absent in the upland and
a change in topography occurred.
Figure 4 and 5 depict the National Wetlands Inventory map and the Hennepin
County soil survey, respectively. Figure 6 shows the Minnesota DNR Protected
Waters Inventory map of the areas evaluated.
Ground photos of each wetland transect location are included in Figures 7 — 9.
The information contained herein represents our findings during wetland
delineation activities conducted on October 24, 2011 at the referenced site.
