Legal description: Section 28, Township 118N,Range 23W. The complete application was received on November 7th, 2016. A Level 1 wetland delineation was conducted by ISG, Inc. on October 4th,2016. One wetland was identified on site as a Type 3 Shallow Marsh with Type 2 Fresh Wet Meadow Fringe. A Level 1 delineation was deemed appropriate for the site considering that the property is a part of the previously permitted Willow View Subdivision(MCWD permit#00-024). There are no proposed wetland impacts within the project limits for the deck addition. MCWD determines that the following activity qualifies as No-Loss as it meets the criteria of 8420.0415 Subp A(an activity that does not impact a wetland).This decision is valid for 5 years.

The findings of the Level 1 Wetland Delineation are intended to facilitate Local Government Unit (LGU) discussions with the Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) to aid in their determination of potential wetland boundaries to avoid during construction of your project and potential wetland areas that may require further review (such as a Level 2 Wetland Delineation). Please note that the scope of the Level 1 Wetland Delineation does not include collection of field data, establishing sampling points/transects, or other technical information that are required for a Level 2 Wetland Delineation Report. Project Location and Site Characteristics The investigation area is single parcel (PID No. 2811823410009) consisting of approximately 1.01 acres. Site elevations range from approximately 1,028'to 1,036' above msl which slope from the highest point in the middle of the parcel to the northwest corner of the site. At the time of the field review, land use was composed of a single-family home with a manicured lawn. Additional single family homes exist to the east, south, and west of the project area with County Road 6 to the north. Methods - Level 1 Desktop Review Water resource related desktop information was collected and reviewed by ISG staff for evaluation of any potential wetland conditions that may be present within the project area. Figure 1 illustrates the available GIS data that was utilized to obtain the following observations: • There are no MNDNR Public Waters located within the project area. One (1) Public Water is located 0.25 miles southeast of the project area. • There are no mapped National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) signatures present within the project area. One NWI wetland exists north of County Road 6 outside the project area. • NRCS Soil Classifications within the project area consist of predominately hydric soil (L132A) in the southern 2/3 of the project area, with non-hydric soil occurring in the northern 1/3. • Two foot LiDAR contour data shows the project area topography gently slopes downhill to the northwest. • � y Field Review During the field visit, the approximate wetland boundary was determined. Topography, dominance of hydrophytic/non-hydrophytic vegetation, and/or visual indicators of wetland hydrology were utilized to support the presence of any potential wetland areas that were identified during the desktop review. Approximate wetland boundaries were then marked with "wetland delineation"flags and surveyed with a sub-meter GPS unit. The approximate wetland boundary is considered to be the conservative highest extent of the wetland basin. Areas below the flagged edge may satisfy the three required wetland parameters (dominance of hydrophytic vegetation, wetland hydrology indicators, and presence of hydric soils) while areas above were lacking in one or more of these parameters, and as such are defined as upland areas. Please note the exact wetland boundary within the approximate wetland boundary can only be defined by conducting a Level 2 Wetland Delineation, which is outside the scope of a Level 1 Wetland Delineation. Findings The results of the desktop review and field visit identified one (1) potential wetland area near the northwest corner of the project area (refer to attached Figure 1). The wetland area is approximately 715 square feet, and can be classified as a Type 3 Shallow Marsh with a Type 2 Fresh Wet Meadow fringe. Recommendations Activities that may impact or potentially impact identified wetlands are regulated through several government entities: • 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 activities are not permitted until all necessary permits have been obtained. If wetland impacts are anticipated, ISG can assist with navigating the permitting process and requesting any applicable exemptions upon request. By initiating the permitting process as soon as possible, potential project delays and the associated cost implications may be avoided. If you have any questions regarding the Level 1 Wetland Delineation or if you would like to receive a paper copy of this information, please contact Travis Fristed at 952-426-0699 or via email at travis.fristed@is- grp.com.
