Executive Summary
ISG completed a wetland investigation within a 3.66 acre project area on May 3, 2016 (as shown on the
attached Figures) for future development. The project is located at 2525, 2535, and 2545 Shadywood
in Orono, Minnesota.
This wetland investigation was performed in accordance with the 1987 US Army Corps of Engineers
Wetland Delineation Manual and the 2010 Midwest Regional Supplement, and all applicable supporting
documents for areas meeting wetland criteria for a routine wetland delineation in accordance to the MN
Wetland Conservation Act and the US Army Corps of Engineers Section 404 Program.
Vegetation, soil and hydrology sampling have been completed on all potential wetland areas within the
project area. Wetland determinations were based on the three required technical criteria: occurrence of
hydric soil, predominance of hydrophytic vegetation, and the presence of one primary and/or two
secondary indicators of wetland hydrology. Potential wetland areas (mapped hydric soils, NWI
signatures, and low depressional areas) were investigated on-site and delineated as upland.
One (1) wetland was delineated during the field investigation. The delineated wetland was a Type 3
Shallow Marsh. Adjacent upland area was forested rolling hills to the north, Kelly Road to the south,
additional wetland to the west, and residential homes to the east.
Project Description
INTRODUCTION
ISG was retained to identify and delineate all wetland areas that exist within the project boundary. The
wetland investigation area (project area) encompasses three parcels totaling 3.66 acres at 2525, 2535,
and 2545 Shadywood Road, in Orono, Minnesota.
The purpose of the wetland investigation is to accurately identify wetland areas onsite so that they can
be incorporated into future plans for the development of the property.
This report is intended to facilitate any regulatory discussions of Wetland Conservation Act and Clean
Water Act Section 10/404 permitting for this project.
LOCATION
The project area is located at 2525, 2535, and 2545 Shadywood Road in Section 20, T117N, R23W, in
the city of Orono, Minnesota (See Appendix A for a location map). The site is located within an Unknown
minor watershed (20118) and the Mississippi River—Twin Cities major watershed (20). The topography
of the site ranges in elevation from approximately 928'to 952'above ms]. At the time of this delineation,
2525 Shadywood Road Page 1
the investigation area was composed of rolling forests in the northeast area, which sloped southwest
into a wetland complex.
SURROUNDING PROPERTIES
The project site is located in a moderately spaced residential landscape near Lake Minnetonka in the
city of Orono. The investigation area is located southwest of Shadywood Road (CSAH 19), west of Lydiar
Avenue and northeast of Kelly Avenue.
Definitions + Methodology
This investigation was performed in accordance with the US Army Corps of Engineers 1987 Wetland
Delineation Manual and the 2010 Midwest Regional Supplement, and all applicable supporting
documents for areas meeting wetland criteria for a routine wetland delineation in accordance to the
Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act and the US Army Corps of Engineers Section 404 Program. The
following definitions, diagnostic environmental characteristics, and the methodology used is based on
the mandatory technical criteria for the identification and delineation of wetlands.
WETLANDS DEFINITION
As defined in 33 CFR Part 328, Section 3,the term wetlands is defined as: Those areas that are inundated
or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that
under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated
soil conditions. The frequency and duration of saturation may vary by geographical region, and is largely
dependent upon climatic conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar
areas.
Wetlands have the following general diagnostic environmental characteristics:
Hydrophytic Vegetation
The wetland vegetation criterion is satisfied when the prevalent vegetation consists of plant species
adapted to inundation or substrates periodically deficient in oxygen as a result of prolonged
saturation. Specifically, this includes plant communities that under normal circumstances have more
than 50% of the composition of the dominant species from all strata ranked with an indicator status
as obligate wetland (OBL), facultative wetland (FACW), and/or facultative (FAC) species.
The indicator status for individual plants as defined by the updated 2016 Minnesota National Wetland
Plant List are identified and described in the following table:
2525 Shadywood Road Page 2
Table 1. Vegetation Indicator Categories
Indicator -.. Occurrence
Obligate(OBL) Almost always
Facultative Wetland(FACW) Usually
Facultative(FAC) Equally likely to occur in uplands
Facultative Upland(FACU) Rarely
Upland(UPL) Almost never
Hydric Soil
A hydric soil is a soil formed under conditions of saturation, flooding, or ponding long enough during
the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part. Examples of hydric soil
indicators include: the accumulation of organic matter, low-chroma soil matrices, gleying, redox
concentrations, redox depletions, and hydrogen sulfide odor.
Wetland Hydrology
According to the 1987 manual, wetland hydrology is present when the area is inundated either
permanently or periodically at mean water depths less than or equal to 6.6 feet, or the soil is
saturated to the surface at some time during the growing season. The Midwest Regional Supplement
requires fourteen (14) or more consecutive days of flooding or ponding, or a water table of twelve
(12) inches (30 cm) or less below the soil surface, during the growing season at a minimum
frequency of five (5) years in ten (10) (50% or higher probability) to satisfy wetland hydrology.
The wetland hydrology criterion can be satisfied with observation of one (1) primary hydrology
indicator or two (2) secondary hydrology indicators. Potential primary indicators of wetland
hydrology may include, but are not limited to: inundation, saturation, water marks, drift lines,
sediment deposits, and a thin muck surface. Potential secondary indicators of wetland hydrology
may include, but are not limited to: surface soil cracks, drainage patters, saturation visible on aerial
imagery, and the FAC-neutral test.
OFF-SITE METHODOLOGY
Map Review
Prior to fieldwork, several mapping sources were consulted to identify potential wetland habitats.
The sources consulted include the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetland ,
Inventory (NWI), United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation
Service (NRCS), formerly Soil Conservation Service (SCS) Soil Survey, Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources (DNR) Public Waters Inventory (PWI), and United States Geological Survey
(USGS)Topographic maps. Areas indicating evidence of potential wetland conditions were evaluated
in greater detail through fieldwork.
2525 Shadywood Road Page 3
Precipitation Data Analysis
Precipitation data from the Minnesota Climatology Working Group and Natural Resources
Conservation Service WETS Tables were used in conjunction with the NRCS Method for Evaluating
Antecedent Moisture Conditions to determine precipitation conditions under which the investigation
was conducted.
ON-SITE METHODOLOGY
Field Sampling Procedures
Sample transects were established in representative transition zones between wetland and upland
for each observed plant community. For potential wetland areas greater than five acres in size, a
minimum of three transects were established along the baseline wetland boundary for lengths of up
to one mile, three to five transects for one to two miles, five to eight transects for two to four miles,
and eight or more transects for wetland baseline boundaries that exceed four miles in length.
Transect intervals do not exceed 0.5 mile apart for each other.
Transects are comprised of two sample points, one sample in upland and one sample point in
wetland. A field data sheet was completed describing the dominant soil characteristics (to a
minimum of 24 inches below the soil surface), plant communities, and hydrology indicators at the
sample point. The presence of water was observed after time (depending on soil characteristics)
was allowed for movement of water through the soil substrate. Absolute percent areal cover was
recorded for the species that were observed (which may exceed 100% total area due to overlap)
and dominance was determined by using the 50/20 rule. Vegetation was sampled within each
stratum present at a sample point using the following circular plot sizes:
• Trees — 30 ft radius
• Saplings and Shrubs — 15 ft radius
• Herbaceous — 5 ft radius
• Woody Vines — 30 ft radius
The sample points were marked with 4-foot lathe, photographed, and flagged with surveyor's tape
(if not within an agricultural land use). Other samples were taken at unmarked locations to provide
verification of the wetland edge, as needed.
Wetland Boundary Delineation
The wetland boundaries were determined using changes in topography, dominance of
hydrophytic/non-hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soil indicators, and/or hydrology characteristics.
Wetland edges were marked with pink"wetland delineation" flags. The wetland edge is considered
2525 Shadywood Road Page 4
to be the highest extent of the wetland basin. Areas below the flagged edge satisfy the three required
wetland criteria while areas above were lacking in one or more of these criteria.
US Army Corps of Engineers Regulatory Guidance Letter 90-6 requires documentation sufficient to
allow a reasonably accurate replication of the delineation at a future date. Reasonably accurate is
defined as within 0-2 meters accuracy. Precise positions of sample points and the wetland edge
have been located by a sub-meter GPS unit and have been included in the wetland delineation
drawing or map for this property.
Wetland Type Classification
Wetlands were classified using Wet/and Plants and Plant Communities of Minnesota and Wisconsin
(Eggers & Reed 2007), Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States
(Cowardin, et al, 1979) and Wetlands of the United States (Fish and Wildlife Service Circular 39,
Shaw and Fredine 1971).
Findings
MAP REVIEW
The NWI map lists three (3) NWI signatures in the western and southern half of the project area. The
northern most basin is listed as a Freshwater Emergent Shallow marsh wetland (PEM1C). The central
basin is listed as a Freshwater Forested/Shrub wetland (PSS1C). The southernmost basin is listed as a
Freshwater Pond Deep Marsh wetland (PABG). The basin complexes are shown in Figure 2, Appendix A.
Soils within the project area have been mapped by the NRCS along with their hydric classification. The
soils within the project area consist mostly of Houghton and Muskego soils, with the northern tip
consisting of Lester loam. The location of each soil unit occurring within the project boundary is shown
on the Hennepin County Soil Survey map (Figure 3, Appendix A).
There is no DNR Public Water watercourse located within the project area. Minnetonka-Upper Lake is
located 530 feet south and west of the project boundary and across Kelly Avenue. The lake is mapped
as a DNR PWI as well as a NWI Shallow Open Water Community Lake (L2UBH) (Figure 2, Appendix A).
The LiDAR map (Figure 4, Appendix B) illustrates elevations varying within the project boundary, ranging
from 928 feet above msl in the south to 952 feet above msl in the north portion of the project area.
ANTECEDENT PRECIPITATION DATA ANALYSIS
The precipitation received in the project area during the previous three months was within the wet range
(70-100th percentile) for this area. Prior to the sample date of May 3, 2016, there was normal
precipitation in March, and wet precipitation in April and February. Therefore the field work was
2525 Shadywood Road Page 5
completed under wet conditions according to the precipitation worksheet for wetland delineations
(Appendix Q.
FIELD DELINEATION RESULTS
Based on the data reviewed and fieldwork conducted, one (1) area was examined for wetland
characteristics within the project area. One (1) wetland was ultimately delineated and is further
described within this report. The delineated wetland is identified as Wetland A, which includes sample
points 1-4.
Field data forms for each sample point are located in Appendix B. Refer to Figure 5 (Appendix B) for a
map of the project boundary, wetland basins, sampling transects, and area. Photos of the wetland basin
within the project area are included in Appendix C.
OTHER AQUATIC RESOURCES
The prominent aquatic resource adjacent to the project boundary is Minnetonka-Upper Lake, located
530 feet south and west of the project boundary and across Kelly Avenue. The lake is mapped as a DNR
PWI as well as a NWI Shallow Open Water Community Lake (L2UBH).

Wetlands A
Wetland A was a Type 3 shallow cattail marsh with a forested slope to the northeast. The wetland
continues to the northwest outside the project area, and stops to the south and southwest when it
reaches the project boundary near the edge of Kelly Road. The wetland is surrounded by a thin
forested wetland edge along the northern side, but is dominated by cattails. At the time of the
delineation, a majority of the wetland was inundated, with the edges of it being saturated at or near
the surface. While delineating the wetland, previous wetland boundary flags were observed, and the
current boundary of Wetland A followed the previous delineation boundary closely.

Recommendations
Activities impacting or potentially impacting the wetlands identified are regulated through several levels
of government in Minnesota:
• Federal: US Army Corps of Engineers: Permit Programs under Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act
• Federal: USDA NRCS: Wetland Conservation Provisions of the 1996 Farm Bill
• State Of Minnesota: Minnesota Department of Natural Resources: Public Waters Work Permit
Program
• Local: Local Units of Government (LGU) administer the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act
(WCA) of 1991.
Please note that grading, excavating, or filling is not allowed until all necessary permits have been
obtained. If wetland impacts are proposed, ISG can assist in the proper steps to acquire the appropriate
permit or exemption. By initiating the permit process as soon as possible, potential costly delays to the
project may be avoided.

Attachment A
Request for Delineation Review, Wetland Type Determination, or
Jurisdictional Determination
By submission of the enclosed wetland delineation report,I am requesting that the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers,St.Paul District
(Corps)and/or the Wetland Conservation Act Local Government Unit(LGU)provide me with the following(check all that apply):
®Wetland Type Confirmation
®Delineation Concurrence. 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.).
❑Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination.A preliminary jurisdictional determination(PJD)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(AJD)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 AJD 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 Weiland Delineations in Minnesota(2013).
