(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 '/4 Section 26, T1 18N, 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 delineating 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 Government 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). f A 4f. 1 r Wetland Delineation Report Spring Hill Golf Club Site GES Project No. 2011.036 December 5, 2011 Page 2of3 Results Wetland 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 13B 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 between the wetland and upland 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. Wetland 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 emergent/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 two 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 3of3 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 between 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.

The Board of Managers may grant variances where it is demonstrated that such action will be keeping with the spirit and intent of these rules. An applicant granted a variance from full compliance with a requirement of the rules would be required to meet the requirement to the degree feasible short of full compliance. In order to grant a variance,the hoard of Managers shall determine that: • the special conditions which apply to the structure or land in questiun do not apply generally to other land or structures in the District the granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, 0 the variance will not impair or be contrary to the intent of these rules. A hardship cannot be created by the landowner,the landowner's agent or representative, or a contractor,and must be unique to the property. Economic hardships are not grounds far issuing a variance. ' A variance shall become void one year after it is granted if not used. A violation of any condition set forth in a variance shall be a violation of the District rules and shall automatically terminate the variance.

The proposed fill areas would result in a total wetland impact of 0.42 acres ' consisting of 0.30 acre (12,950 square feet) in the northern fill area and 0.12 acre (5,299 square feet) in the southern fill area (see Figures 3, 4 and 5). The wetland areas to be impacted are primarily Type 3 inland shallow fresh marsh dominated by narrow-leaved and hybrid cattail. Both wetland impact areas are above the Ordinary High Water(OHW) elevation so the impacts are not regulated by the DNR protected waters program. The TEP has reviewed and on 6/21/2012 the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD)approved sequencing flexibility for this project (Notice of ' Decision attached with permit application forms). The MCWD approval documents that there are no feasible and prudent alternatives to the proposed wetland impacts. See the Wetland Permit application for additional details of the proposed project. The on-site wetland replacement aspects of the project are being changed with this variance request. Requirements of rule(s) MCWD's Wetland Protection Rule generally follows the guidance and principles set out under the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (WCA). The MCWD rule however, holds more strictly to the mitigation citing standards set out in WCA than does the Board of Water and Soils Resources (BWSR) and the Corps of Engineers (COE) in their administration for the Federal Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland permitting process. Specifically MCWD requires wetland impacts in ' the watershed to be replaced in the watershed. Requested Variance ' This variance requested is to allow Spring Hill Golf Club to use 0.84 acres of wetland bank credits from outside the MCWD as mitigation for the 0.42 acres of wetland impacts for the reconstruction of the 13th fairway. ' 2 1 Statement of Hardship(include any mitigating circumstances). When the golf course was originally approved and constructed beginning in 1997 there were 1.45 acres of wetland impacts, which required 2.90 acres of compensatory wetland mitigation. The golf course plans provided 7.27 acres of wetland mitigation with the excess 4.37 acre of credits intended for future golf course maintenance and City of Orono use. However the paperwork to have the excess credits deposited in the BWSR mitigation bank were never completed, and due to changes in the WCA and COE Section 404 rules can no longer be deposited. One of the main reasons these old wetland credits could not be used t in the current wetland banking system is the plant community is dominated by narrow leaf cattails which has been listed as a non-native, invasive species. Even the existing natural wetland is dominated by this non-native, invasive species which makes the prospect of any new mitigation in the immediate vicinity ' unlikely to meet the current WCA and COE vegetation standards. The MCWD Wetland Protection Rule, the WCA and COE Section 404 Rules ' follow the general principle that a wetland impact should be replaced with similar wetlands, and generally in the same watershed in order to maintain the set of wetland functions and values in a given locality. Where these policies diverge ' and cause hardship for this specific project site is when the Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) and the COE conclude that even with best management practices, on-site mitigation will not result in a wetland that will meet the required ' replacement vegetation standards. In these situation the TEP and COE policy would be to consider wetland mitigation banking in order to assure that the wetland impacts are replaced at a minimum 2:1 ratio, with high quality wetland, ' within the same major watershed, prior to any wetland impacts actually occurring. Although the original golf course plans have shown that wetlands nearly identical to the proposed impacted wetland can be created on-site, the presence of the non-native, invasive, species would not allow any mitigation credits to be assigned under the current version of WCA (MCWD rules) or the COE Section 404 program. There are no other feasible and prudent alternative locations on- site that would allow for sufficient wetland creation/restoration that would both meet the MCWD citing requirements and the required vegetation standards. The TEP, including MCWD staff and COE have reviewed Spring Hill Golf Clubs proposal for on-site mitigation and determined the preferred option would be to replace the wetland impacts thorough the mitigation banking system. There are no wetland banking credits available in the MCWD so Spring Hill Golf Club ' proposes to use credits from the Heritage Woods Bank. The Heritage Woods Bank was selected because it is considered to have relatively high functions and values. The Heritage Woods mitigation bank site is located just 11 miles north- northwest of the proposed wetland impact site. A detailed analysis of the bank site selection process is included in the permit application narrative. Initially only a portion of the mitigation requirements were going to be replaced using banking, but based on TEP and COE recommendation , the permit application is being t modified by this variance request to use banking to meet all of the current mitigation requirements. Spring Hill Golf Course has verified that the bank site has sufficient credits available for the entire mitigation requirements. The TEP 3 and COE have endorsed the use of the Heritage Wood Bank site for the Spring Hills Golf Club project. 1 How do you propose to meet the requirements of the applicable MCWD rules? The intent of the MCWD requirement to replace wetland impacts within the watershed district is to prevent the export of wetland functions and value to other locations at the detriment of MCWD. Since it has been documented that the original 1997 project has already created an excess of wetlands of the same type, same functions and values within MCWD, the replacement of the current ' proposed wetland impacts outside of the MCWD will not result in a net loss of wetland functions or values in the MCWD. The proposed project is a unique situation in MCWD where Type for Type wetland replacement has already been provided on-site and off-site high quality wetlands will be used to mitigate the ' quantity of wetland impacts. The Spring Hill Golf Clubs proposal maintains the integrity of the MCWD Wetland Protection Rule because it meets the WCA standards and satisfies the intent of avoiding the export of wetland functions and ' values out of MCWD.

Vtiletland Replacement Plan Spring Hill Golf Club Improvements ' Orono, Minnesota ' Revised December 5, 2012 ' BACKGROUND Construction of the Spring Hill Golf Club was begun in 1997 and the ' course opened in 1999. For playability and safety reasons, Spring Hill Golf Club proposes to undertake improvements to the golf course along the 13th fairway. These improvements would include placing fill into a jurisdictional wetland at two locations. PROJECT LOCATION ' The Spring Hill Golf Club is located in the NW IA SE '/4 Section 26, T1 18N. R23W, City of Orono, Henne�in County, Minnesota (Figure 1). The site is ' divided by County Road 6 (6t Avenue North), bordered on the west by Tamarack Drive, and Spring Hill Road forms the southern boundary. The specific project location is limited to on or near the 13th hole. The primary ' land uses in the immediate vicinity of the site include commercial and residential uses. ' SITE DESCRIPTION As shown on the U.S.G.S. Quadrangle map (Figure 2), the topography on ' the site is rolling. The golf course is characterized by landscaped fairways, tee boxes, sand traps and greens with wetlands and upland hardwoods interspersed. The wetlands on the site are typically Type 2 ' (inland fresh meadow) and Type 3 (inland shallow fresh marsh) complexes. Refer to Figure 3 of the Wetland Delineation Report (Appendix A) for an aerial photograph of the project area. 1 WETLAND DELINEATION ' On October 24, 2011 and March 9, 2012, GES delineated most of the boundary of the wetland proposed for impact west of the 13"' hole. The ' Minnehaha Creek Watershed District reviewed the wetland delineation Spring Hill Golf Club Wetland Replacement Plan Application ' Revised December 5, 2012 Page 2of8 ' with GES and Spring Hill staff in the fall of 2011. GES extended the wetland delineation on the rest of the basin based on the observations and documentation reviewed by the Watershed District and reported in the ' delineation report attached in Appendix A. PROJECT NEED AND PURPOSE The purpose of the project is to improve playability and safety of the golf course in the vicinity of the 13th hole. ' The need for the project involves creating landing areas for golf shots that commonly land at the two locations where fill is proposed in the wetland. These issues are addressed in greater detail in the "Sequencing" section below. ' CUMULATIVE IMPACTS The original project resulted in a total wetland fill of 1.45 acres for which 7.27 acres of wetland mitigation credit were provided. The impacts now proposed would add 0.42 (18,249 square feet) additional acres of wetland fill (about one-third the amount of wetland originally filled). The proposed ' project is not intended as a "piecemeal" impact to the wetland; in retrospect, the proposed fill should have been a part of the original permit application and approvals in the late 1990's. PROPOSED WETLAND IMPACTS The proposed fill areas would result in a total wetland impact of 0.42 acres consisting of 0.30 acre (12,950 square feet) in the northern fill area and 0.12 acre (5,299 square feet) in the southern fill area (see Figures 3, 4 and 5). The wetland areas to be impacted are primarily Type 3 inland shallow fresh marsh dominated by narrow-leaved and hybrid cattail. Both wetland impact areas are above the Ordinary High Water (OHW) elevation ' so the impacts are not regulated by the DNR protected waters program. Both fill areas also have an insignificant quantity of fringe Type 2 inland fresh meadow wetland dominated by reed canary grass. All of the ' wetland impacts are considered to be in Type 3 wetlands. ' The project proposed would require approximately 2,200 cubic yards of fill material for the north fill area and approximately 2,500 cubic yards for the south fill area. In the north fill area, a 24-inch diameter pipe would be ' installed beneath the fill in order to maintain the normal hydrologic connection within the wetland. This north fill area will divide the wetland into two areas, west and east. The east wetland area will be connected to the west wetland area via the aforementioned 24-inch diameter pipe. This Spring Hill Golf Club Wetland Replacement Plan Application Revised December 5, 2012 Page 3 of 8 ' pipe will be placed with both inverts at elevation 976.8 (flat), 0.2 feet below the wetland's current 24-inch diameter outlet elevation of 977.0. The pipe is placed partially submerged in order to allow normal water flow between ' the two wetland areas, as well as to allow good hydraulic connectivity/water flow and roughly equal high water elevations (west and east) during the 1, 10 and 100 year storm events. The filled area would ' be seeded with an appropriate fairway mix after final grading. The south fill would create upland between the existing fairway and bunker area and the existing upland knoll to the west. The average elevation of fill material in this area would be approximately 983'. The filled area would be seeded with an appropriate fairway mix. ' It should be noted that other non-wetland impact improvements are also P p being considered in order to make the course more appealing, playable and competitive. SEQUENCING ' Avoidance Alternatives The "no-build" alternative is considered neither feasible nor prudent based on the need to make the 13th hole playable and the existing bridge safe. If the proposed fills are not done to make the fairway wider near the green ' and to eliminate the water hazard where the northern wetland fill is proposed, Spring Hill will likely lose more members due to the difficulty of the golf course. In a highly competitive golf market, it is important for golf courses to accommodate its patrons and provide a facility that is at the level of play of most of its members, not just the better, more skilled players. Currently, golf balls are regularly lost in the wetland at both proposed fill areas which results in frustrated golfers and disruptions to the flow in play resulting in delays. The golfers who struggle most with this hole are juniors, senior and women golfers. Spring Hill hopes to improve these two areas so as to improve the hole to make it a more enjoyable and playable hole for less skilled golfers. Additionally, as Spring Hill's ' membership begins to retire, they are actively recruiting golfers with families in hopes that they will enjoy the game of golf in the future. This hole is one that is too difficult for a younger, beginning golfer. ' Alternative Sites Alternative sites were not explored since the proposed project purpose is ' to improve the existing 13th hole of the golf course. Spring Hill Golf Club Wetland Replacement Plan Application Revised December 5, 2012 Page 4 of 8 ' n Alternative Configurations d Impact Minimization a p In retrospect, the wetland areas proposed to be filled probably should have been filled during the original planning and permitting for the golf course. In designing golf courses, it is difficult to foresee how certain portions of the course will play until it is built and played on over a period of time. It is also difficult to predict the makeup of the users of the course and, therefore, whether the course will be too challenging or not challenging enough. This conundrum is exacerbated by the fact that the demographics of the golf course patrons change over time. This hole does not pose as great a challenge for the skilled golfer as it does for the ' less skilled player. However, Spring Hill strives to be a golf club that includes all skill levels. Currently, the club is limited in its client base due to the fact that it has a difficult golf course design. Many of these issues ' have been addressed by the golf course designer, Fazio Golf Course Designers, Inc. in a letter dated March 2, 2012 (Appendix B). ' The primary reason these wetland areas were not proposed to be filled in the original permit application in the 1990's is that every attempt was made at that time to minimize the amount of wetland fill as required by wetland regulations. In this case, minimizing wetland fill by omitting these fill areas was probably not prudent in light of the difficulty these areas have caused and the negative impact on play they have created. 1 Reducing the amount of fill in the north and south proposed fill areas is ' possible but is not considered feasible since the project purpose is to make the 13th hole playable. The proposed impacts at both fill sites has been greatly reduced from the original plan which would have filled a total of 0.707 acre. The north fill is proposed to go from the edge of each side of the fairway and the fairway actually "necks down" at the wetland crossing. The proposed north and south fill areas are designed to be the smallest footprint of fill necessary to make the hole playable. If they are ' reduced further, the project purpose will not be fulfilled. The north fill area represents the minimum area needed to create playable ' upland across the fairway. If a smaller area is filled the problem of play flow and enjoyment may still exist. ' Economic Impact 1 The economic impact of not improving the playability of the 13th hole is frankly difficult to predict with any amount of precision. Although it can't be forecast how many patrons might drop their memberships because of ' the issues described, there is an existing problem that causes the 13th to Spring Hill Golf Club Wetland Replacement Plan Application Revised December 5, 2012 Page 5 of 8 ' be inconsistent in terms of its difficulty as compared to the remainder of the golf course. ' Over the past fourteen years of operation, as the club's members get older, staff consistently hears the complaint that the course is becoming too difficult to play. This comment is tied directly to the 13th hole as it is ' the toughest for the average golfer to play. Over the last ten years, minor changes have been made to make the course easier to play, yet keeping it a challenge for the better players. The height of the rough grass has been ' lowered to reduce the penalty for missing the fairway. Tee locations have been moved to aid the higher handicap golfers in clearing hazards with their tee shots. Sand hazards in direct line of play have been removed to ' avoid an additional penalty a golfer would incur with a bad tee shot. Consistently, the golfers comment negatively regarding the difficulty in playing the 13th hole. 1 Sequencing Flexibility ' The TEP has reviewed and approved sequencing flexibility for this project (Notice of Decision attached with permit application forms). ' The value of the wetland proposed to be impacted must be taken into account when considering whether or not the proposed project is in the ' public interest. The existing hydrologic interaction of the wetland would not be disrupted at the northern fill since a pipe would be placed to accommodate normal exchange of water from the small portion of wetland ' on the east to the larger body of the wetland to the west. The northern fill area is primarily dominated by invasive cattail and reed canary grass. The southern fill area is dominated by reed canary grass and invasive cattail. For this project, the question of sequencing flexibility comes down to two basic questions: 1) Is the quality of the wetlands proposed for impact demonstrably degraded such that mitigation would result in a certain gain in wetland function and value and 2) Do the mitigation wetlands provide a certain gain in wetland function and value. We believe that the proposed wetland impact areas are obviously degraded based on their vegetative t composition and that the MnRAM analysis bears this out. We further believe that the mitigation wetlands provide clearly higher functions and values and therefore that flexibility in the sequencing steps is warranted in ' this case. Please see the "MnRAM Analyses" discussion that follows. Spring Hill Golf Club Wetland Replacement Plan Application Revised December 5, 2012 Page 6 of 8 ' MnRAM Analyses The attached MnRAM summaries (Appendix C) indicate that the overall wetland basin as well as the north and south impact areas generally score ' "Moderate" for almost every category. COMPENSATORY MITIGATION PLAN Mitigation Requirements Wetland mitigation will be accomplished with wetland banking using a bank site within the same wetland bank service area as the wetland impacts. WCA rule 8420.0522 Subp.4 indicates the minimum ' replacement ratio for the proposed approach for mitigation is 2:1. ' The total replacement required for the project is 0.84 acre. Mitigation banking would be used to provide the 0.84 acres (36,498 square feet) for an overall replacement ratio of 2:1 Off-Site Mitigation The "Heritage Woods"wetland bank (#1410)would be used to provide the required 0.84 acres of mitigation credit. This bank has Type 1, 2 and 4 wetland credits as well as upland buffer. It is located in the North Fork Crow River Major Watershed. Spring Hill has entered into a purchase ' agreement to acquire these credits from the owner of the wetland bank. ' Projected Wetland Mitigation Schedule January 2013 WSD Approval of replacement plan. February 2013 Execute wetland banking purchase. February 2013 Record Declaration of Restrictions from 1997 Other Wetland Banks Considered Per the TEP's recommendation at the June 4, 2012 TEP meeting, Spring Hill talked with the City of Wayzata's wetland bank contact person. Based on that discussion, it is not known whether the City is intending to make their credits available for public sale or not. Spring Hill was told by the bank contact person in June that the bank has deposited 15 percent of their credits into the state bank thus far. ' Other banks within the same Major Watershed (20) as the impact site and/or within Hennepin County were also considered. A total of 13 banks met one, the other or both of these criteria. Of those 13, two do not have ' enough credit, three are not for sale to the public or the owner could not Spring Hill Golf Club Wetland Replacement Plan Application Revised December 5, 2012 Page 7 of 8 be reached, two are not Corps-approved, one is selling for$2.50 per square foot (considered to be outrageously priced), and one has just upland credits (assumed to be a problem for the Corps). This leaves four banks in Hennepin County that are possibilities for the Spring Hill Golf Club (Banks#1310, 1346, 1410, and 1414). The only one t of these banks in the same Major Watershed as the project site is#1346 but it only has Type 5 wetland credits available. Although credits deposited in the state wetland bank have been converted to "Standard ' Wetland Credits" (SWC), the preference would be to replace the Type 3 wetland impacts with similar Type 3 or 4 wetlands credits if possible. This narrows the banks to#1310 and 1410 (Heritage Woods). The Heritage Woods Bank was selected because it is considered to have relatively high functions and values. The Heritage Woods mitigation bank site is located just 11 miles north-northwest of the proposed wetland impact site. A variance from the MCWD requirement for mitigation to occur in the same minor watershed and the wetland impact is necessary and unavoidable. The applicant has maximized on-site mitigation opportunities and cannot create more wetlands without creating the same playability issues that are being resolved by the proposed project. There ' are no wetland banks available in the same minor watershed. The applicant has secured a purchase agreement for wetland bank credits which are the closest match to the wetland mitigation citing criteria. WETLAND MONITORING ' Since there is no on-site wetland mitigation there would be no annual wetland monitoring requirements. The Wetland bank site has been monitored by the bank owner and reported to the LGU and BWSR in order to deposit credits in the bank. UPLAND BUFFER ESTABLISHMENT AND MONITORING The buffer area established under the 1997 permit is intact and 100% vegetated. The golf course maintenance and mowing limits currently demarcate the limits of the existing buffer area around the wetland. As a result of the proposed wetland impacts "new buffer" will be established at ' three locations at the edge of the fill areas. The new buffer areas will be planted with a mesic prairie native seed mix (BWSR Mix 35-641). The current MCWD rule requires a base buffer width of 30 feet around the wetland being impacted. Because the slopes in the buffer area are generally less than 10% in the buffer area the average buffer width can be reduced by four feet. The upland soils in the buffer area are generally ' classified as B and C soils so another two feet can be deducted from the Spring Hill Golf Club Wetland Replacement Plan Application Revised December 5, 2012 Page 8of8 ' required average buffer width. The existing 26 foot buffer established in 1997 should suffice for the 24 foot buffer requirement under the current MCWD rule. Appendix D includes the Wetland Buffer Planting Plan, ' Wetland Buffer Maintenance Plan, and Wetland Buffer Monitoring Requirements per the MCWD rule.

Graham(mgraham@wenck.com) To: kjbopray@yahoo.com; Date: Thursday, October 11, 2012 9:52 PM ' Hi Kelly. I did delineate almost all of the wetland that has the proposed impacts. The only part of it 1 did not delineate was a finger on the north end east of the bridge that juts out to the east. That part has nothing to do with any of the proposed impact areas. Yes,the report was focused on the two impact areas which,at that time, were the only parts of the wetland that had been delineated. I delineated the remainder(except for that east jut) later. However, the data in the delineation report should suffice for the whole basin.

The watershed asked how the rest of the wetland boundary was deturinined. Tim said it was staked by GES. Is that correct? and can I say say the report was focused on the proposed impact sites.

(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 Y4 SE '/4 Section 26, T1 18N, 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 delineating 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 Government 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). S Wetland Delineation Report Spring Hill Golf Club Site ' GES Project No. 2011.036 December 5,2011 Page 2 of 3 ' Results Wetland 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 13B 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 between the wetland and upland 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. ' Wetland 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 emergent/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 two 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 staghorn 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 between 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.

Manch 2, 7012 Mr. Tim Johnson Spring Hill Golf Club ' 725 County Road 6 Wayzata, MN. 55391 Dear Tim, It is our understanding that the club is being asked to submit tin "Application of Sequence" which defines to the governing bodies our reasoning for the intended scope on hole 13. In 1997 in early design stages, our mandate from (lie governing bodies was to impact the least amount of wetlands; and as a result we created over 20 routing plan versions in an attempt to satisfy this objective. Our final plan submitted requested impacting the cross hazard wetlands ' that occurs on holes 10 and 13. The request was denied and as a result discussions evolved around a"banked"wetland credit for use in the future. Observing the game, we have come to understand that golf would be more enjoyable for most people if cross hazards were kept to a minimum. As mentioned earlier, hazards that lie perpendicular to the line of play add penalty shots to the scores of most golfers, and, to our way ' of thinking, a golf course doesn't need a lot of penalty shots to be challenging. For this reason, the majority of the creeks, wetlands and ravines on our golf courses are designed parallel rather ' than perpendicular to the line of play. When one encounters a site containing expanses of wetlands such as Spring Hill, our objective in lying out a golf course is minimizing impacts of wetlands and avoiding perpendicular cross ' hazards created by these same wetlands. When perpendicular cross hazards cannot be avoided in a routing as the case at Spring Hill, we have a better chance of controlling the outcome of the ' golf shot if we locate the teeing areas close to a perpendicular cross hazard. These teeing area allow the golfer to "tee up" the golf ball, which is easier to hit than a golf ball lying on the ground, while the closer proximity creates a shorter distance of carry required by the golfer, thus ' offering a greater success rate to advance the ball over the hazard. In our routing at Spring Hill we were able to achieve this on the following golf holes 2,5,7,8,10,11,12 and 15, as seen by the attached exhibit. U 17755 S.E. Federa111iglnwrtY. Tequesto, P'1. 33469 •561-746-4539 "late• 561-746-;50.3 ❑ 401 North Ahnn Streer, Ste. 400, (lender sow,484, i1`C M79,? *828 693-0052 *Firv: 828-6934071 Further wetland areas consideration during the routing of the golf course occurred on golf holes ' 3,5.6,9,12,13,14,16 and 18. We were fortunate to satisfactory route these golf holes so that adjacent wetland areas became parallel to the intended line of play on the respective golf hole, which allows a golfer to hit "away or around" and not directly `over" a hazard; resulting in a more enjoyable golf experience. Unfortunately,we were unable to route a portion of hole 13 to avoid the wetland, thus producing a perpendicular cross hazard as seen by the attached exhibit. Unlike aforementioned holes, the difference on hole 13 that exasperates the problem is we cannot control where a golfer hits their second shot from. This is dependent on how far they advanced their tee shot down the fairway. The second or sometimes third shot (less skilled) required to advance the golf ball over the perpendicular cross hazard is that the golf ball is lying on the ground (not a golf tee), which increases difficulty. The golfer then must advance his or her next shot a great distance down the fairway, which requires a fairway wood (low loft club) to travel this distance. These two factors of getting the golf ball airborne from the ground with a low lofted club create a very high degree Iof difficulty for the majority of our members. During my site visit in August of 2011, 1 watched three foursome's play the 13"' golf hole; of which five golfers hit their golf ball into the perpendicular cross hazard on this hole. When this occurs, the rules of golf provide some relief, that one can move closer to the hazard for their next shot. Of these five golfers that took relief, two yet hit a consecutive shot into the cross hazard. ' We respectfully request that you take into consideration the above, and know that we strongly desired to eliminate this perpendicular cross hazard in 1997 but were not given consent by the ' governing bodies, Our average age of member has since increased by 10 plus years and albeit they still enjoy most that Spring Hill has to offer, the overriding negative factor is the difficulty and unenjoyably golf experience tit hole 13.

The site preparation, invasive species control methods and monitoring/reporting requirements are outlined below. Wetland Buffer Planting Plan i I. Site Preparation A. Site Preparation shall consist of the following: L Preparation of the seedbed in a manner that prepares the project site for seed. After final grading has been ' completed, the site will be cultivated with a light disking and dragging so that the surface is relatively level, flat and not overly compacted. ii. Install seed according to specifications after seedbed is prepared. II. Seed Specifications A. Use native seed: fresh, clean, dry new-crop seed complying with the Association of Official Seed Analysts' "Rules for Testing Seeds" for purity and germination tolerances. B. Seed mixes shall be blended by the Contractor using the specified species and ratios as per BWSR Mix 35-641 in the upland buffer (seed specs attached). Seed mix species and ratios shall be guaranteed by the contractor to be true to specifications as required. The contractor shall supply and plant native seed as pure ' live seed (PLS). See planting plan for planting schedule. All seed shall have the proper stratification and/or scarification to break dormancy for spring planting. No treatment required for seed used in summer and fall plantings. C. Seed source shall be from an approved/licensed nursery that will be required to specify the origin of the seed used at the site. III. Seeding Protocol (includes Wetland and Upland Buffer Areas) A. Fall seeding shall occur between mid October and mid November. ' Spring seeding shall occur between May 1 and June 15. Seed may be hand-broadcast or planted using a properly calibrated seed drill over the site at the rates and with the species mix identified. After Vegetation Management Plan Spring Hill Golf Club Revised December 5, 2012 Page 2 of 4 ' seeding, the site will be dragged and cultipacked per seed supplier's specifications to ensure good seed to soil contact. ' IV. Cover Crop A. Oats or winter wheat should be used as specified in BWSR seed mixes. 35-641 Mesic Prairie Southeast ' Common Name Scientific Name Rate Rate %of Mix Seeds/ (kg/ha) (lblac) (%by wt) sq ft big bluestem Androo on gerardii 1.01 0.90 7.49% 3.30 ' side-oats grams Bouteloue curb endula 1.54 1.37 11.38% 3.01 nodding wild rye EI mus canadensis 1.18 1 1.05 8.77% 2.01 slender wheatgrass EI mus trach caulus 1.01 0.90 7.50% 2.28 switchgrass Panicum vi atum 0.24 0.21 1.78% 1.10 ' little bluestem Schizach rium sco avium 1.42 1.27 10.59% 7.00 Indian grass Sor hastrum nutans 2.24 2.00 16.68% 8.82 Total Grasses 8.63 7.70 64.19% 27.52 butterfly milkweed Asclepias tuberosa 0.07 1 0.06 0.53% 1 0.10 whorled milkweed Asclepias verUcillata 0.01 0.01 0.10% 0.05 Canada milk vetch Astragalus canadensis 0.18 0.16 1.33°x6 1.00 partridge pea Chamaecrista fasciculata 0.67 0.60 5.00% 0.60 ' white prairie clover Dalea candida 0.01 0.01 0.07% 0.06 purple prairie clover Dales purpurea 0.10 0.09 0.76% 0.50 Canada tick trefoil Desmodium canadense 0.17 0.15 1.24% 0.30 ox-eye Hello sis heliantholdes 0.06 0.05 0.43% 0.12 ' rough blazing star Liatris aspera 0.03 0.03 0.21% 0.15 great blazing star Liatris pyonostachya 0.03 0.03 0.29% 0.14 wild bergamot Monarda fistulosa 0.01 0.01 0.06% 0.18 ' stiff aoldenrod Ofi oneuron ri idum 0.02 0.02 0.17% 0.31 gray-headed coneflower Rafibida pinnate 0.02 0.02 0.15% 0.20 black-eyed susan Rudbeckis hirta 0.06 0.05 0.38% 1.54 heath aster S m h otdchum ericoides 0.01 0.01 0.05% 0.40 smooth aster S m h otrichum laeve 0.06 0.05 0.41% 1.00 bracted s iderwort Tradescantia bracteata 0.04 0.04 0.34% 0.15 blue vervain Verbena hastata 0.04 0.04 0.37% 1.50 hoary vervain Verbena stricta 0.11 0.10 0.85% 1.05 ' olden alexanders Zizia aurea 0.08 0.07 0.60% 0.29 Total Forbs 1.79 1.60 13.34% 9.64 Oats or winter wheat(see note at beginning of fist for ' recommended dates) 3.03 2.70 22.47% 1.20 Total Cover Crop 3.03 2.70 22.47% 1.20 Totals: 1 13.45 1 12.00 100.000/6 38.36 Purpose: Regional mesic prairie reconstruction for wetland mitigation,ecological ' restoration or conservation program planUngs.

The adjacent natural wetland is dominated by reed canary grass and narrow-leaf cattail. The maintenance practices below will give the native species a good chance to become established but it cannot prevent invasion by the adjacent non-native species. B. Year One (first full growing season after construction/planting): Mow, using a flail type mower, to a height of 5 to 8 inches, just over ' the height of the emerging native plants before weeds go to seed. Assume three mowings in the first season during the period of June - September. Any areas within the wetland or upland buffer that ' have bare soils may be overseeded with appropriate seed if deemed appropriate to promote native vegetation establishment. C. Year Two: Spot mow and spray invasive weed species as necessary. Any areas within the wetland or upland buffer that have bare soils may be overseeded with appropriate seed if deemed appropriate to promote native vegetation establishment. D. Year Three: Spot mow and spray invasive weed species as necessary. E. Year Four: Spot mow and spray invasive weed species as necessary or conduct prescribed burn if conditions dictate. F. Year Five: Spot mow and spray invasive weed species as necessary. Wetland Buffer Monitoring Plan ' I. Monitoring and Reporting A. Annual monitoring will be conducted in accordance with MCWD rules. Results of monitoring will dictate maintenance activities which could differ from those specified below depending on performance of the wetland and upland buffer. Bare soils devoid of vegetation will be noted during monitoring activities so that overseeding after the initial seeding can be considered if deemed appropriate. B.

Per item 1. i.e. Playability and safety. In the application we did not specifically site safety issues related to the proposed project. We generally referenced playability and safety as we believe they go hand in hand as related to the issues that will be addressed by the proposed changes to the 13th fairway. Specific examples would include the fact that where a hazard ' consistently slows or stops the progress of play, it causes a bottleneck and increases the risk of trailing players playing into the area where the proceeding player are. When a ball is advanced near the wetland hazard on the 13th fairway, the players have to backtrack into the path of the following groups play in order to access the cart-way and bridge that crosses the wetland. There is also a real safety concern in that players may be tempted to MR try to retrieve errant balls from the wetland and this not only further slows the pace of play, but also presents a trip/fall hazard for the individual player. Another safety - ' concern arises at the bridge that is the only current means to get past the wetland hazard. The bridge is subject to frost heaving and settling which presents a challenge for both golf carts and ' maintenance equipment to cross (see picture). R E)opray Memorandum ' Environmental Nle 31 9zot6 St.Ki„cr F,IIa,w 3+ n (713),m-8969 kj6.p—!1oyaboo.—m ' Per item 2. i.e. Permit application timing. Spring Hill Golf Club has requested the permit approval at this time because we understand the issues involved are complicated and ' dependent on a number of factors which could result in delaying or missing the optimum window to complete the project. The grading needs to be completed in the fall, but early enough for "grow in" of the grass to be optimal. Spring Hill Golf Club will need to identify and select a ' contractor to do the work per the detailed specification. There are also some issues such as final wetland boundary approval, and 1997 mitigation vegetation and hydrology documentation that cannot be completed until the 2013 growing season. If the permitting process was delayed until the summer of 2013, it could jeopardize completing the project in the fall of 2013. If you have any questions please give me a call at 715-307-4577. MINNEHAHA CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT QUALITY OF WATER QUALITY OF LIFE MEMORANDUM TO: Tim Johnson,Spring Hill Golf Club FROM: Catherine Bach,Minnehaha Creek Watershed District ' DA'L'E: November 26,2012 RE: WCA Application#W 12-34. Spring Hill Golf Club, Orono ' servation Act WCA Technical Evaluation Panel TEP meetin was held on A Wetland Con (WCA) (TEP) g November 15,2012 at the MCWD office to review revised submittals for the above mentioned replacement plan application for Spring Hill Golf Club in Orono. TEP members present included Catherine Bach(MCWD/LGU),Lynda Peterson(BWSR),and Stacey Lijewski (Hennepin SWCD). ' The TEP raised concerns with the proposed on-site wetland creation. Due to current site conditions,it is likely that the Ecological Suitability&Sustainability criteria outlined in Chapter ' 8420.0522 Subp.5 would be very difficult to meet through the proposed on-site wetland creation. The proposed wetland creation is adjacent to a larger wetland basin dominated by narrow-leaved/hybrid cattail and reed canary grass. In order to prevent these invasive species from dominating the created wetland there would likely need to be significant vegetation management in the larger adjacent basin in addition to the creation area. Furthermore,a large portion of the adjacent wetland is DNR Public Water Wetland#837W,which may complicate any vegetation management throughout the larger adjacent basin, ' Because of the TEP's concerns with the proposed on-site wetland creation and lack of other opportunities for replacement credit,the TEP recommends that all wetland replacement ' requirements for the proposed project be met through the purchasing of banked credits from Account No. 1410(Michael and Melanie DeLuca),which was Indicated-as a possibility during the meeting. The current proposal is to purchase a portion of the total required replacement ' credit from this account and obtain the remaining required replacement credit through on-site wetland creation. ' It is important to note that the application is currently incomplete,and the remaining items from the incomplete letter dated September 11,2012 that were discussed at the November 15,2012 TEP meeting must still be submitted before the application is deemed complete(e.g. ' documentation confirming compliance with the 1997 WCA replacement plan). A revised incomplete letter following the discussion at the meeting will be provided.

The site is drainage swale/wetlands that cuts across the golf course. The topography of the site is strongly rolling according to the U.S.G.S. quadrangle topographic map (Figure 2). On May 13, 2013 BES completed a delineated of Northeast Arm of Wetland 15. The wetland boundaries are shown on an aerial photo in Figure 3. The surveyed wetland boundaries are provided by James R. Hill in Appendix A. The purpose of this delineation was to extend a previous delineation by Graham Environmental Services to cover all of Wetland 15 within the golf course property as required by Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. Precipitation % Normal Methodologies Apr 01-May 14,2013 Fj The site was evaluated for wetlands based on the methods contained in the Level 2, ti ' "Routine Determinations" section of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers "Wetland Delineation Manual" (Technical Report Y87-1, _ 1987) and the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Midwest Region. This is the r methodology currently used to determine wetlands by both the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for implementation of Section 404 so of the Clean Water Act and by the Minnesota eroent Wetland Conservation Act. Soil colors described herein follow"Munsell Soil color Wetland Delineation Report Spring Hill Golf Club,Orono, MN BES Project No. 2012-029 May 22,2013 Charts". According to the Climatology Working Groups' webpage, the area was at 110-150% of normal year to date precipitation at the time of the site visit. Results Wetland 15 Northeast Arm This wetland is located off the northeast corner of Wetland 15 which was previously delineated by GES in 2011 and 2012. The northeast arm extend east across the golf club property and on to the adjacent residential lots. This wetland is the Palustrine, Emergent, Seasonally flooded (PEMC) shallow marsh swale/wetland. The sample transect was done between fairways to document the"normal" conditions without the influence of the fairway maintenance. Wetland 15 is dominated by cattails (Typha sp.) and reed canary grass (Pha/aris arundinacea). Soils in the wetland consisted of eight inches of N 2/0 loam, over eight inches of N 2/0 clay loam over 10YR 2/1 clay loam with 5% 10YR 4/4 iron concentrations (Al2). Surface water was present in the wetland. Free water was observed within a depth of 12 inches in the soil pit and soil was saturated to the surface at the time of the site visit. The wetland hydrology indicators observed in the wetland included surface water(Al), high water table (A2), saturation (A3), Inundation on aerial imagery (67), geomorphic position (D2) and a positive FAC-neutral test(D5). The adjacent upland vegetation is dominated by Sugar maple (Acer saccharum), red maple (Acer rubrum), common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica), gooseberry current (Ribes cynosbati), red cedar(Juniperus virginiana) and Virginia waterleaf(Parthenocissus quiquefolia). The upland soils consisted of six inches of N 2/0 loam, over 10YR 2/1 clay loam. There was no free water or saturated soil within a depth of 18 inches in the upland soil pit. The wetland boundary was generally staked along the topographic and vegetation break. The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) (Figure 4) identifies wetlands at either end of the northeast arm of Wetland 15, but does not identify the northeast arm itself as wetland. Based on BES's field work Wetland A was classified as a Palustrine, Emergent, Seasonally Flooded, (PEMC) wetland. The DNR Protected Waters Inventory map(Figure 5) identifies Wetland 15 as Protected Waters Wetland 837W which has an established Ordinary High Water(OHM elevation of 976.7. Surveying for the 13th fairway reconstruction established that the OHW did not extend into the northeast arm of Wetland 15. The Hennepin County Soils Survey (Figure 6) shows the site is predominantly mapped as Lester loam (L22D2) and Glencoe loam, depressional (1-24A). The Glencoe soil map unit is listed as a hydric soils map unit, whereas the Lester soil map unit is listed as partially hydric. 2 Wetland Delineation Report Spring Hill Golf Club,Orono, MN BES Project No. 2012-029 May 22, 2013 Wetland Classification BES' classification of the wetlands is based on observations of the site and is include in Table 1 below.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNIT DECISION Date of Decision: 2/2/12 ®Approved ❑Approved with conditions(include below) ❑Denied LGU Findings and Conclusions(attach additional sheets as necessary): A wetland delineation for a project area at Spring Hill Golf Club was performed by Graham Environmental Services,Inc.(GES)on October 24,2011. The project area is within the parcel located at 1050 Tamarack Drive in Orono(PID#26-118-23-42-0006). The boundary was reviewed in the field on November 1,2011 by Minnehaha Creek Watershed District(MCWD)staff, with a representative from GES present. The project area consists of two geographically separate project areas shown in Figure 3 of the delineation report. One wetland was found in each project area(Wetland A within the north project area and Wetland B within the south project area). Wetlands A&B are technically part of the same wetland,which is classified as DNR Protected Water 27-837W,but are delineated as separate wetlands because of the separate project areas. Wetland A was identified as a Type 3 shallow marsh,and Wetland B was identified as a Type 2/Type 3 fresh(wet)meadow/shallow marsh. The boundary of Wetland B was adjusted slightly during the field review to include more wetland. The wetland boundaries as flagged in the field and described in the delineation report dated&received BWSR Forms 7-1-10 Page ] of 3 December 5,2011 are approved by the MCWD. This decision is valid for five years. A project on this property may require a permit from the MCWD.

(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 '/4 SE '/4 Section 26, T1 18N, 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 delineating 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 Manuaf' (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 Government 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). f 17, A& AMOK 11wwwgraharnenvironmental. Wetland Delineation Report Spring Hill Golf Ciub Site GES Project No.2011.036 December 5, 2011 Page 2 of 3 Results Wetland 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 13B 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 between the wetland and upland 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. Wetland 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 emergent/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 two 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 staghorn 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/acustris)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 between 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.
