1.0 SUMMARY
Jacobson Environmental, PLLC (JE) visited the project site at PID #’s 02-117-23-21-0005 and 02-117-23-
21-0006 on 4/28/2020. The site was approximately 3.51 acres in size, and was located at Section 2,
T117N, R23W, Orono, Minnesota. See Figure 1 for a Site Location Map.
The purpose of the investigation was to identify areas within the project boundary meeting the technical
criteria for wetlands, delineate the jurisdictional extent of the wetland basins, and classify the wetland
habitat according to the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual and the 2010
Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation: Midwest Region.
Wetlands are areas that are saturated or inundated with surface and or groundwater at a frequency and
duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of
vegetation typically adapted for life in hydric soil conditions. Examples of wetlands include seasonally
flooded basins, floodplain forests, wet meadows, shallow and deep marshes, shrub swamps, wooded
swamps, fens, and bogs.
Wetland boundaries were determined through a routine analysis of the vegetation, soils and hydrology
which must all show wetland characteristics for an area to be delineated as a wetland.
One wetland basin was delineated within the project area, which is summarized below and shown on
Figure 5.

Prior to field delineation, Jacobson Environmental reviewed the following information:
2.1.1 Antecedent Precipitation
The previous three month’s precipitation data obtained from the Minnesota State Climatology Office
suggest that the sampling period occurred under wet conditions. Antecedent precipitation data can be
found in Appendix A. The growing season in this area is approximately from mid-April to mid-October,
when the air temperature averages above 28 degrees F. This delineation was completed during the
growing season.
2.1.2 National Wetlands Inventory
The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) identified PEM1C/FO1A wetland complex within the property
boundary (Figure 2).
2.1.3 Web Soil Survey
The National Resource Conservation Service Web Soil Survey (Figure 7) identified the following soils:
Soil Hydric Rating
Lester-Kilkenny complex, 6 to 10 percent slopes,
moderately eroded
5
Lester-Kilkenny complex, 16-22 percent slopes 5
Muskego and Houghton soils, 0 to 1 percent
slopes
100
2.1.4 Public Waters Inventory
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Public Waters Inventory shows that no public waters
exist on the property (Figure 4).
2.1.5 Topographic Map
A topographic map with aerial photo overlay was obtained from Hennepin County (Figure 6). This map
was reviewed for suspected wetland areas based on topography and vegetative cover.
2.2 FIELD DELINEATION
The wetlands on the subject property were delineated using the routine determination methodology set
forth in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and the 2010 Regional
Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation: Midwest Region as follows:

1) The vegetative community was sampled in all present strata to determine
whether 50% of the dominant plant species were hydrophytic using the 50/20 method.
2) Soil pits were dug using a Dutch auger to depths of 18”-40”, noting soil profiles and any
hydric soil characteristics.
3) Signs of wetland hydrology were noted and were compared to field criteria such as depth
to shallow water table and depth of soil saturation found in the soil pits.
Transects were established in representative areas of each wetland. Each transect consisted of one
sample point within the wetland and one sample point in upland. Other areas which have one or more of
the wetland vegetation, soils, or hydrologic characteristics present, or where questionable conditions exist
may also have been sampled. Data sheets for each sample point are available in Appendix B.
Wetland classifications discussed in the text are set forth in Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the
United States (FWS/OBS Publication 79/31, Cowardin et al. 1979) and Wetlands of the United States
(USFWS Circular 39, Shaw and Fredine, 1971.) Additionally, plant community types as named by Eggers
and Reed (1998) are given.
Wetland edges were marked with orange numbered pin flags. 4-foot wood lath marked with orange
“wetland boundary” flagging tape or flagging tied on vegetation may be used if site conditions warrant.
Sample points are marked with orange numbered pin flags.
Any wetlands or sample points were mapped using GPS.
2.2.1 Vegetation
The plant species within the parcel were cataloged and assigned a wetland indicator status according to:
Lichvar, R.W., D.L. Banks, W.N. Kirchner, and N.C. Melvin, 2016. The National Wetland Plant List: 2016
Wetland Ratings, Phytoneuron 2016-30: 1-17.
In the text of this report and on the enclosed data forms, the plant indicator status follows the plant’s
scientific name unless a status has not been assigned. The hydrophytic plant criterion is met when more
than 50 percent of the dominant species by the 50/20 rule for each stratum (herb, shrub/sapling, tree, and
woody vine) were assigned an obligate (OBL)1, facultative wet (FACW), and/or facultative (FAC) wetland
status.
1 OBL=Obligate Wetland, occurs an estimated 99% in wetlands. FACW=Facultative Wetland, has an estimated 67%-99%
probability of occurrence in wetlands. FAC=Facultative, is equally likely to occur in wetlands and non-wetlands, 34%-66%
probability. FACU=Facultative Upland, occurs in wetlands only occasionally, 1%-23% probability. UPL=Upland, almost never
occurs in wetlands, <1% probability. NI= No Indicator, insufficient information available to determine an indicator status. Positive or
negative sign previously indicated a frequency toward higher (+) or lower (-) frequency of occurrence within a category.

With the 50/20 rule, dominants are generally measured by absolute % cover in each stratum which
individually or collectively account for more than 50% of total vegetative cover in the stratum, plus any
other species which itself accounts for at least 20% of the total vegetative cover.
2.2.2 Hydric Soils
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. If a soil exhibits the indicators of a
hydric soil or is identified as a hydric soil the hydric soil criterion is met.
The break between hydric and non-hydric soils was determined by excavating soil pits along transects
crossing the wetland/upland eco-tone and evaluating the soil colors, textures, and presence or absence
of redoximorphic indicators (i.e., mottles, gley or oxidized rhizospheres). Hydric Soil Indicators for the
Midwest Region were noted as presented in the National Technical Committee for Hydric Soils Field
Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States version 8.1 (USDA NRCS 2017) if present at each sample
point. Upper soil profiles were also compared to the mapped or inclusionary soil series found in the
sample area for soil identification purposes.
2.2.3 Cautions Used in Applying the Field Indicators of Hydric Soils
There are hydric soils with morphologies that are difficult to interpret. These include soils with black, gray,
or red parent material; soils with high pH; soils high or low in content of organic matter; recently
developed hydric soils, and soils high in iron inputs. In some cases, we do not currently have indicators to
assist in the identification of hydric soils in these situations. If the soil meets the definition of a hydric soil,
the lack of an indicator does not preclude the soil from being hydric. The indicators were developed
mostly to identify the boundary of hydric soil areas and generally work best on the margins. Not all the
obviously wetter hydric soils will be identified by the indicators. Redoximorphic features are most likely to
occur in soils that cycle between anaerobic (reduced) and aerobic (oxidized) conditions.
Morphological features of hydric soils indicate that saturation and anaerobic conditions have existed
under either contemporary or former hydrologic regimes. Where soil morphology seems inconsistent with
the landscape, vegetation, or observable hydrology, it may be necessary to obtain the assistance of an
experienced soil or wetland scientist to determine whether the soil is hydric.
To clarify, when investigating hydric soils in this area, one must consider the following:
Many of these soils have black or gray parent materials.
Many of the soils have a high organic matter content.
The hydric soil margin is typically higher than the wetland boundary margin on the site.
Not all the obviously wetter soils will be identified by the indicators.
Many of the hydric soils are Mollisols which are classic problem hydric soils in many cases.

3.0 RESULTS
3.1 WETLAND BASIN DESCRIPTIONS
Basin 1
Basin 1 was an approximately 1.97-acre, Type 3, PEM1C, shallow marsh wetland. The basin was
dominated by Tartarian Dogwood, Green Ash, Lake Sedge and Reed Canary Grass.
Hydrology indicators included A1 (surface water), A2 (high water table), A3 (saturation), D2 (geomorphic
position) and D5 (fac-neutral test).
Wetland soils met indicators A1 (histisol).
Adjacent upland was typically dominated by Green Ash, Northern Red Oak, American Basswood and
Common Buckthorn. Primary hydrology indicators were not observed at the upland sample point, but
hydric soil indicators were found in the upland sample point soil.
The wetland boundary followed a change in vegetation from wetland to upland plant communities, as well
as a slight change in topography. The basin was shown as a PEM1C wetland on the NWI map (Figure 2)
and was located within an area mapped as Muskego and Houghton soils (RATING=100) by the Web Soil
Survey (Figure 7).
Sample data sheets 1-UP, 1-WET in Appendix B correspond to this basin.
4.0 CONFIRMATION OF JURISDICTIONAL STATUS
Jacobson Environmental is submitting this report to the client and regulatory agencies to request a
wetland boundary and type determination. We have enclosed an official WCA Approval of Wetland Type
and Boundary form in Appendix D along with a USCOE wetland delineation concurrence request.
