Highway 36 St. Paul, MN 551.09 RE: SER Project Name: Woodhill Property SER Project No: 2003-094-03 Project Location: A portion of the NE1/4 of the SE1/4 of Section 2, T 117N, R 23W, City • of Orono, Hennepin County, Minnesota Project Description: Wetland Classification, Identification, Delineation and Staking Services Dear Mr. Barker, As requested, Svoboda Ecological Resources (SER) personnel visited the above referenced property on Oct 13, 2003, to examine the site for the presence of areas meeting wetland criteria. Criteria for determining jurisdictional wetlands are as described in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual(1987 Manual) as required by the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act. The project site is located in a residential area that is moderately forested with the exception of a wetland basin that exists in the southwest central portion of the property. The topography of the site contains a steep gradient sloping toward the wetland basin from the east and a moderate gradient sloping toward the wetland from the west. The wetland basin itself has a relatively flat topography and continues north and south onto adjacent properties. The project site is bordered by Woodhill Avenue to the north and east, and private property to the south and vest. The property lies within the NE1/4 of the SE1/4 of Section 2, Township 117N, Range 23W, City of Orono, Hennepin County, Minnesota (Figure 1). METHODS National Wetland Inventory(NWI)maps, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR)Public Waters maps, Soil Survey of Hennepin County, and aerial photographs were reviewed prior to the site visit to identify areas of concern. 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. The wetland boundary was marked at the site by blaze-orange"wetland boundary" flagging attached to 4-foot wooden lath. The wetland boundary is considered to be the topographically highest extent of the 2477 Shadywood Road • Excelsior,MN 55331 (952) 471-1100 (Office) • (952) 471-0007 (Fax) - wetland basin. It is normally a requirement that areas below the staked boundary meet the three wetland criteria while areas above should lack one or more of these criteria, however the hydrology of this wetland has been eliminated due to factors that will be explained in the Results and Discussion section below. Wetland classification followed methods described by Cowardin et al. (1979) and used in the NWI completed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The Circular 39 classification(Shaw and Fredine 1956) is also given. The indicator status of plants was determined using the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands-Minnesota(Reed 1988). Explanation of the plant indicator categories is provided in Appendix B. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The NWI map (Excelsior Quadrangle) illustrates one wetland complex across much of the southwest central portion of the subject property (Figure 2). The NWI identified the wetland complex to be of a Type 3 (PEMC)wetland. The Soil Survey of Hennepin County indicates 2 soil types on the subject property(Figure 3). These soil types include Hayden loam(Hb C and E), and Marsh(Ma). Of these soil types, the Marsh is classified as a hydric soil (Hydric Soils of the United States). The DNR Public Waters Map of Stearns County, Figure 4, does not illustrate any public or protected waters on the subject.property. Figure 5 illustrates the approximate location of the wetland boundary of Basin 1 on the subject property. SER obtained climatological data from the Midwestern Regional Climate Center website for the N inneapolis/St. Paul International Airport weather station located approximately 19 miles west- northwest of the project site. Precipitation for the month of October, to the day prior to the site visit (October 12th), was 0.48 inches, or 0.33 inches below the 30-year(1971-2000) average of 0.81 inches for the 12-day period. Total precipitation amount that was measured for the year was 21.16 inches at the time of the site visit, 4.01 inches below the 30-year average(25.17 inches) for the same time period, Table 1. Table 1. 2003 Precipitation Data (inches) for the MSP International Airport Weather Station January 1.04 0.22 -0.82 Februa 0.79 0.54 , -0.25 March 1.86 1.44 -0.42 April' 2.31 2.40 +0.09 May 3.24. 6.14 +2.89 June 4.34 4.66 0.32 • July 4.04 1.96 -2.08 August 4.05 1.12 -2.93 September 2.69 2.20 -0.49 Through 0.81 0.48 -0.33 October 12 Total 25.17 21.16 -4.01 • Figure 6 illustrates the monthly precipitation for the 12-month period prior to the site visit (October 2002 — September 2003) compared to average monthly precipitation and the WETS 30% upper and lower limits. WETS is a method of determining the normal range for monthly precipitation required to assess the climatic characteristics for a geographic area over a representative time period. According to Figure 6 the St. Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport weather station recorded 17% of the months (October 2002 and May 2003) above the WETS Upper 30%Limit, 42% exhibited average precipitation amounts (February through March, June and September) and 42% of the months (November and December 2002, January, July and August 2003) exhibited precipitation amounts below the WETS Lower 30%Limit. Figure 7 illustrates the precipitation deviations from a thirty-year average(1971 — 2001) of 29.41 inches per year. This graph illustrates that precipitation has been below average for two of the past ten years. SER personnel examined the subject property for areas meeting jurisdictional wetland criteria during the site visit and delineated one area as being jurisdictional wetland. Detailed vegetation, soils, and hydrology data for the wetland are provided in the data sheets of Appendix A. The photo log in Appendix B further illustrates the conditions present at the site during the time of the site visit. SER delineated basin 1 as a Palustrine (P-)type wetland exhibiting emergent wetland vegetation (-EM-)with a seasonally flooded (-C) moisture regime or a Type 3 (PEMCd)wetland. Upon initial inspection of basin 1 SER determined that wetland hydrology did not exist due to a 10-nch inside diameter drain tile that was installed by previous property owners(Figure 8). The drain tile itself was constructed of clay material, which would indicate it was installed possibly 80 to 90 years ago. The abnormally dry months of July and August may have further contributed to the lack of hydrology. SER personnel traced the drain tile in an east-west direction(Photos 1 and 2) along the northern edge of the basin on the subject property. A junction point was found that extends south through the center of the wetland and north under Woodhill Avenue onto the adjacent property(Photos 3 and 4). The drain tile was traced further on the adjoining property and was found to extend briefly north and continues northwest toward the Orono Public Golf Course where it empties into a drainage ditch(Photo 5). While having the wetland criteria of the soils and vegetation, it presently lacks hydrology due to the drain tile, which is currently functional. With hydrology lacking due to the presence of the large drain tile, one of the parameters is missing, thereby creating a non jurisdictional wetland. Local observations earlier this year indicated that the drain tile suddenly became operational, discharging a large volume of water downstream causing flooding of the Orono Public Golf Course. This sudden discharge was reported to the city of Orono and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District who both sent field staff to observe the situation. Neither party stated that they had the authority to complete a repair. Therefore based on the wetlands current conditions as confirmed by the sudden downstream water surge earlier this year, it is SER's opinion and conclusion, given the lack of hydrology that the,wetland is effectively drained and is a non-jurisdictional wetland. The presence of hydric soil and hydrophytic vegetation would indicate that hydrology existed at one time in the recent past and that during a year with normal rainfall, hydrology would likely return if the drain tile system was removed or closed. , z CONCLUSIONS SER examined the subject property and delineated one wetland, which exhibited a dominance of hydrophytic vegetation, and hydric soils but lacked wetland hydrology. SER determined that wetland hydrology existed recently but was eliminated due to the discovered drain tile and the below normal precipitation conditions that existed this year. Based on this information Basin 1 was determined to be a non jurisdictional wetland. Although Basin 1 is not a jurisdictional wetland it was still classified as a Type 3 (PEMCd) wetland due to conditions that existed previously.

Facultative Wetland (FACW) —Usually occur in wetlands (estimated probability 67% - 99%), but occasionally found in non-wetlands. Facultative (FAC)—Equally likely to occur in wetlands or non-wetlands (estimated probability 34% - 66%). Facultative Upland (FACU)-Usually occur in non-wetlands (estimated probability 67%- 99%), but occasionally found in wetlands (estimated probability 1%-33%). Obligate Upland (UPL) —Occur in wetlands in another region, but occur almost always (estimated probability >99%) under natural conditions in non-wetlands in the region specified. If a species does not occur in wetlands in any region, it is not on the National List. *Reed,P.B. 1988.
