(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). � . . . Wetland Delineation Report Spring Hill Goff Club Site GES Project No. 2011.036 December 5, 2011 Page 2 of 3 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. Wetland Delineation Report Spring Hill Golf Club Site GES Project No. 2011.036 December 5, 2011 Page 3 of 3 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.
