The wetland boundaries were flagged on April 23, 201 S and field data was collected on May 6, 201 S. The study parcel is located in the city of Orono, MN in Hennepin County (Figure 1). Two wetland boundaries were delineated at this site. One sample transect was established along the boundary of each wetland area in order to characterize the soil, vegetation, and existing hydrology within the wetland-to-upland transition zone. INTRODUCTION The subject parcel is approximately 5.76 acres and is dominated by altered/non-native deciduous forest as well as mixed short grasses. Two wetlands present on the property were delineated. The topography of the site is rolling with a small group of houses and structures present on the top of the hill. The surrounding land use is moderately spaced single family homes. Long Lake is located adjacently south and a golf course is to the north. 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 and orange flagging tape. The Technical Documents section of this report contains 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 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 wetland are described in the Technical Documents 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. "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 Svoboda Ecological Resources 1 1025 Spring Hill Rd Project Number: 2015-007-03 Orono,MN current version of the Corps Manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987) and all 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 (NWI) map (Figure 2), Web Soil Survey of Hennepin County map (Figure 3), Minnesota Public Waters Inventory maps (Figure 4), and 2014 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 consist of a representative upland sample point, a representative transition sample point and representative wetland sample point. Information obtained at the sample points can be found on the field data sheets located in the Technical Documents section. Wetland boundaries were marked at the site by pink "Wetland Delineation" pin flags and orange flagging tape. 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. Wetlands were classified in accordance with 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 Documents section, was determined using the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands—Region 3 (Sabine 1999). RESULTS The National Wetland Inventory indicates the presence of one (1) wetland and the shoreline of Long Lake within the survey area. (Figure 2). The Web Soil Survey of Hennepin County (Figure 3) identifies six soil map units present on the subject property, some of which are within the same soil families. The Glencoe loam is the sole hydric soil listed onsite, while the only predominantly hydric and partially hydric soils listed onsite are the Tadkee-Tadkee, depressional, complex, and the Hamel, overwash-Hamel complex, respectively. The remaining soils onsite are predominantly nonhydric and listed as Lester loam (12-18 and 25-35 percent slopes) and Lester-Malardi complex (12-18 percent slopes). Soil series descriptions are provided in the Technical Documents section. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, State Protected Waters Map (Public Water Inventory) does not indicate and public waters within the study area. One public water, Long Lake, is located along the southern edge of the parcel. (Figure 4). Site Visit SER ecologists examined the subject property for areas meeting jurisdictional wetland criteria during the site visit. The areas meeting the jurisdictional criteria of a wetland were flagged, and boundaries were determined and delineated. The approximate wetland boundaries are outlined in yellow(Figures 5). Svoboda Ecological Resources 2 ]025 Spring Hill Rd Project Number: 2015-007-03 Orono,MN Accumulated precipitation since the 5/6/15 sampling date shows field work was conducted under abnormally dry conditions, according the Minnesota Climatology Working Group. The months of February, March, and April received rainfall totals of 0.38", 0.80" and 1.60", respectively. All rainfall totals for these three months are considered below normal precipitation conditions. Precipitation from March 1, 2015 to May 7, 2015 as recorded at the Chanhassen WSFO is 1.87" below normal with average recorded temperatures for the same period slightly above normal, 2.2 degrees F. Wetland 1 on this parcel is a PFO1, Type 1 floodplain forest located in a depressional area,with a steep slope on the south and the embankment of Spring Hill Road on the north. The wetland vegetation at wetland sample 1-1 Wet is dominated by American elm (Ulmus americana FACW) and green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica FACW) in the tree stratum, and common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica FAC) in the sapling/shrub and herb strata. Similar to the wetland sample 1- 1 Wet, vegetation at sample point 1-1 Up meets the wetland indicator for pominance Test (>50%). Common buckthorn is dominant in the tree, sapling, and herb strata. Additionally, American elm and boxelder (Acer negundo FAC) dominate the tree stratum while stinging nettle (Urtica dioica FACW) is the other plant to dominate the herbaceous layer. Much like vegetation, both wetland and upland sample points possessed wetland indicators, in this case for hydric soils. Sample point 1-1 Wet was taken near the bottom of the depressional area. Soils were silty clay throughout the entire sample and met both the redox dark surface (F6) and Al2 (Thick Dark Surface) hydric soil indicators. The soils at sample point 1-1 Up were collected on the hillslope approximately 3 feet higher in elevation than the wetland boundary. Soils at this location transition from silt loam at the surface to silty clays at a depth of 30 inches, at which point become depleted, meeting hydric soil indicator Al2 for Thick Dark Surface. Wetland hydrology is present at sample point 1-1 Wet as evidenced by the primary indicators A2 (High Water Table) and A3 (Saturation) with saturation present at 8 inches and a water table at 12 inches. Secondary indicators D2 (Geomorphic Position) and DS (FAC-Neutral Test) are also met. At sample point 1-1 Up, only the FAC-Neutral Test is met. Due to 1-1 Up's location on a relatively steep hillslope geomorphic position is not met. Additionally, no water table or saturation is present, unlike at 1-1 Wet's sample location. Because the upland sample meets the wetland vegetation and soil indicators, the wetland boundary was flagged primarily based on the hydrology. Wetland 2 on this parcel is classified as a PEM, Type 2/3 fresh wet meadow that transitions to a shallow marsh. This wetland is located adjacent to Long Lake and at the bottom of a small hill. In wetland sample 2-1 WET, tree stratum vegetation is dominated by green ash and boxelder. These trees are located on the very edge of the wetland. 100 percent of the ground cover is reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea FACW). Similarly, boxelder and green ash dominate the tree stratum in upland sample 2-1 Up. Common buckthorn and prickly gooseberry (Ribes cynosbati FAC) are the dominant vegetation within the shrub stratum. The herb stratum is dominated by sticky willy (Gallium aparine FACU), stinging nettle, and ground ivy (Glechoma hederacea FACU). Although both sample points meet the Dominance Test for the wetland vegetation indicator, 1-1 Up possesses a much greater percentage of woody stemmed plants in the shrub/sapling and tree layers. Additionally, at 1-1 Up there is a variety of dominant plants, listed Svoboda Ecological Resources 3 ]025 Spring Hill Rd Project Number: 2015-007-03 Orono,MN as FACW, FAC, and FACU. There is an abrupt transition from the Reed canary grass to these woody stemmed plants with a slight increase in topography. Because of this relationship, the wetland boundary was flagged based on both the topography and change in vegetation. Sample point 2-1 Wet was taken near the center of the depression. The soils at sample point 2-1 Wet switch from clay (0-6 inches) to silty clay, before returning to clay at 26 inches. Redox is present beginning at 6 inches and continues through 26 inches, meeting hydric soil indicator F6 for Redox Dark Surface. The soils at sample point 2-1 Up were collected on a slight hillslope and at the toe of a steeper hill approximately 1 foot higher in elevation than the wetland sample. Soils consist of silty loam to a depth of 24 inches, at which point a mixture of silty loam and sand are present. Redox features are not present until 10 inches, thus sample 2-1 Up does not meet any hydric soil indicators. Wetland hydrology is present at sample point 2-1 Wet as evidenced by the secondary indicators D2 (Geomorphic Position) and DS (FAC-Neutral Test). Saturation is present at 14 inches and a water table at 18 inches. Upland sample 2-1 Up meets secondary indicator D2 (Geomorphic Position) but fails to meet any other hydrology indicators. Additionally, no water table or saturation is present. Detailed soils, vegetation, and hydrology data for the delineated jurisdictional wetlands are provided in the data sheets of the Technical Documents section. 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 wetland boundaries were flagged on 4/23/15 and field data were collected on 5/6/15. SER personnel examined the subject property for areas meeting jurisdictional wetland criteria during the site visit and delineated the edges of the intermittently inundated depression as being jurisdictional wetland. (Figure 5). Detailed soils, vegetation and hydrology data are provided in the data sheets of the Technical Documents section. A set of figures is provided in the Figures section. RECOMMENDATIONS Activities that impact or could potentially impact wetlands are 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. 1* State jurisdiction by the Wetland Conservation Act of 1991 (WCA) administered by the WCA Local Governmental Unit(LGU). 2* 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. Svoboda Ecologica]Resources 4 ]025 Spring Hill Rd Project Number: 2015-007-03 Orono,MN While the wetland boundaries that SER has delineated are not official until approved by a WCA approved local government unit (LGU), 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 may result 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 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 initiating activities.A WCA Sequencing form, a WCA and Army Corps of Engineers Replacement Plan Application form, and a DNR permit application are among the materials that you may be required to submit if impacts are proposed for the delineated wetlands. By initiating the permit process as soon as possible, potential costly delays to the project may be avoided.

GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: Hamel soils have concave slopes in swales, rims of closed depressions, foot and toe slopes, and upper drainageways below sloping to very steep slopes. Slope gradients are 1 to 4 percent. Hamel soils formed in slope colluvium and glacial till of Late Wisconsinan Age. Mean annual air temperature is about 45 to 48 degrees F. Mean annual precipitation is about 25 to 30 inches. Frost free days range from 125 to 165. Elevation above sea level ranges from 700 to 1600 feet. GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: These are principally the Ha•� and Lester soils. These soils are well drained and are on the higher lying, gently sloping to very steep slopes. DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: Poorly drained and somewhat poorly drained. Surface runoff is low or moderately low. Permeability is moderately slow. The apparent seasonal high water table is at .5 to 1.5 feet for the poorly drained phase and 1.5 to 2.5 feet for the somewhat poorly drained phase during spring in normal years. USE AND VEGETATION: Most of this soil is cropped to corn, hay, soybeans, and small grains. However, significant areas are in pasture and forest. Native vegetation is mixed wet prairie grasses and deciduous forest. DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Primarily in the southeast one-quarter of Minnesota in the timbered,hilly, "gray" till region. Moderately extensive. MLRA OFFICE RESPONSIBLE: St. Paul, Minnesota SERIES ESTABLISHED: Hennepin County, Minnesota, 1969. REMARKS: Diagnostic horizons and features recognized in this pedon are: mollic epipedon -the zone from the surface to a depth of 40 inches (Ap, A,AB and Btgl); argillic horizon-the zone from 24 to 46 inches (Btgl, Btg2,).

Lauramie soils have more than 45 percent sand in some subhorizon in the middle part of the control section. Mohawk soils have a higher content of silt and have dark colors in the B horizon which apparently are inherited froin dark shale. Orwood soils have no rock fragments in the particle-size control section. Razort soils have less than 30 percent sand in the control section. GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: These soils have convex slopes on moraines and till plains. Slope gradients range from 5 to 70 percent. They formed in calcareous, loamy glacial till of late Wisconsinan Age. Mean annual temperature ranges from 45 degrees to 52 degrees F. Mean annual precipitation ranges from 25 to 33 inches. Frost free days range from 125 to 165. Elevations range from 700 to 1600 feet. GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: These include the Cordova, Dundas, Glencoe, Hainel, Houghton, Klossner, Le Sueur, Musket�o, and Nessel soils. Poorly drained Cordova and somewhat poorly and poorly drained Dundas soils are on flats and upper drainageways with a high seasonal water table. Very poorly drained Glencoe, Houghton, Klossner, and Muskego soils are mostly in depressions. Poorly drained Hamel soils are on foot and toe slopes. Moderately well drained Le Sueur and Nessel soils are on slightly elevated flats and gently convex slopes. DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: Well drained. Permeability is moderate. Runoff is medium to high. USE AND VEGETATION: Mostly cropped to corn and soybeans. Some is in pasture and forest. Native vegetation is savanna. DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: South-central and east-central Minnesota and northeastern Iowa. Extensive. MLRA OFFICE RESPONSIBLE: St. Paul, Minnesota SERIES ESTABLISHED: Dakota County, Minnesota, 1945. REMARKS: Diagnostic horizons and featured recognized in this pedon are: mollic subgroup - the zone from the surface to 7 inches (Ap horizon); argillic horizon -the zone from 7 to 38 inches (Bt horizons). Type location moved from Waseca County, Mn. to Wright County, Mn., 11/96 to better exemplify the series concept within the MLRA. Slopes of 1 to 5 percent that were previously correlated as Lester may be included with the Angus series in the future. P L oto 0 g 1025 S rin hill Ro ad p g Orono � 1G��E:�ring 'Jiii Kc. U�o;��.

Describe the project that is being proposed,the project purpose and need,and schedule for implementation and completion.The project description must fully describe the nature and scope of the proposed activity including a description of all project elements that effect aquatic resources(wetland,lake,tributary,etc.)and must also include plans and cross section or profile drawings showing the location,character,and dimensions of all proposed activities and aquatic resource impacts. The owner wants to knaw where the approved edge is located before starting the planning process.As soon as approval is received they will move forward with their project. PART FOUR: Aquatic Resource Impactl Summary If your proposed projed involves a dired or indirect impact to an aquatic resource (wetland, lake, tributary, etc.) identify each impact in the table below. Include all anticipated impacts, including those expected to be temporary. Attach an overhead view map, aerial photo, and/or drawing showing all of the aquatic resources in the project area and the location(s) of the proposed impacts.Label each aquatic resource on the map with a reference number or letter and identify the impacts in the following table. County,Major Aquatic Type of Impact Duration of Existing Plant Aquatic Resource Overall Size of Watershed�1, ID as noted on Resource Type (fill,excavate, Impact Z Community ( Size of Impact Aquatic and Bank Servi (wetiand,lake, drain,or remove Permanent(P)0 3 Type(s)in Impa overhead view) 1 Resource , Area�of Impact tributary etc.} vegetation) Temporary(T) Area Areas 'If impacts are temporary;enter the duration of the impacts in days next to the"7". For example,a project with a temporary access flll that would be removed after 220 days would be entered"T(220)". Zlmpacts less than 0.01 acre should be reported in square feet. Impacts 0.01 acre or greater should be reported as acres and rounded to the nearest 0.01 acre. Tributary impads must be reported in linear feet of impact and an area of impact by indicating first the linear feet of impact along the flowline of the stream followed by the area impact in parentheses). For example,a project thaY impacts 50 feet of a stream that is 6 feet wide would be reported as 50 ft(300 sq/ft).

Concurrence with a delineation is a written notification from the Corps and a decision from the LGU concurring,not concurring,or commenting on the boundaries of the aquatic resources delineated on the property. Delineation � concurrences are generally valid for five years unless site conditions change. Under this request alone,the Corps will not address the jurisdictional status of the aquatic resources on the property,only the boundaries of the resources within the review area (including wetlands,tributaries,lakes,etc.). i � Q Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination.A preliminary jurisdictional determination(PJDj is a non-binding written indication � from the Corps that waters,including wetlands,identified on a parcel may be waters of the United States. For purposes of computation of impacts and compensatory mitigation requirements,a permit decision made on the basis of a PJD will treat all waters and wetlands in the review area as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. PJDs are advisory in nature and may not be appealed. ❑Approved Jurisdictional Determination.An approved jurisdictional determination(A1D)is an official Corps determination that jurisdictional waters of the United States are either present or absent on the property.AJDs can generally be relied upon by the � affected party for five years.An A1D may be appealed through the Corps administrative appeal process. � � In order for the Corps and LGU to process your request,the wetland delineation must be prepared in accordance with the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual,any approved Regional Supplements to the 1987 Manual,and the Guidelines for Submitting Wetland Delineations in Minnesota(2013). http://www.mvp.usace.armv.mil/Missions/Resulatorv/DelineationJDGuidance aspx � ( i i I
