Page i April 2007 Wetland Delineation Report Baldur Park Rd City of Orono, Minnesota Introduction This wetland delineation report outlines the location, methods and results for an approximate 2.17 acres site in the City of Orono. The purpose of the evaluation was to identify areas meeting the technical criteria for wetlands, delineate the jurisdictional extent of the wetland basins and classify the wetland habitats within the site. This field delineation will be the basis on which the proposed project will address potential wetland impacts or avoidance. A field review of the site identified one wetland area. This report describes the methodology and results of the field delineations performed on April 19, 2007. Figures referenced in the text are included at the end of the document. Site Description The property is located in Section 08, Township 117 North, Range 23 West in Hennepin County, Minnesota. The project area is located in the City of Orono, at the end of Baldur Park Rd., along the peninsula. (Figure 1). The property is surrounded predominantly by North Arm Bay, which is part of Lake Minnetonka. There is a small wooded area in the center of the peninsula with residential homes to the south and a residential home on the northern point of the peninsula. The wetland area identified on the property was contiguous with the shoreline of North Arm bay. Wetland Delineation Wetlands Definition Wetlands are defined jointly by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers [USACE (Federal Register, 1982)] and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency [EPA (Federal Register, 1980)] as follows: SMI Project No.63514-011 Page 1 "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. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas." According to (USACE), one positive indicator, except in certain situations, from each of three elements must be found in order to make a positive wetland determination. The three criteria are as follows: • Greater than 50 percent dominance of hydrophytic plant species; • Presence of hydric soil; • The area is either permanently or periodically inundated, or soil is saturated to the surface during the growing season of the dominant vegetation. Methodology Wetlands Survey Topographic maps, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetland Inventory(NWI) maps, Soil Survey for Hennepin County, the Hennepin County hydric soils list and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Protected Waters Inventory (PWI) map were reviewed prior to visiting the site to locate potential wetland habitats. Figure 2 is a copy of the NWI maps and Figure 3 is a copy of the soils map for the project area. Figure 4 is a copy of the Protected Waters Inventory map of the site. These sources indicated that wetland areas were present and investigated in greater detail during the field delineation. Field Procedures The project site was evaluated on April 19, 2007 for areas meeting wetland criteria in accordance with the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (USACE, 1987). The 1987 Manual requires that soil inundation or saturation occur within 12 inches of the surface and that all three wetland parameters, as discussed above,be present. The Routine Onsite Determination Method (RODM) was applied for this delineation. Field notes, soil samples, and photographs were taken at representative locations within the wetland basins and in the adjacent upland areas. Collected information was transferred to RODM data sheets, which are included in Appendix A. Photographs will be retained on file at Schoell Madson. Each data sheet is referenced to a sample location along the identified wetland boundary by the plot ID number. Wetland Delineation Report SMI Project No. 63514-011 Baldur Park Rd. Page 2 Wetland plant species nomenclature follows the "National List of Plant Species that Occur in Wetlands" (U.S. Department of the Interior, 1988). Regional field guides were used to confirm identification of plant species when deemed necessary. Soils were observed for hydric soil characteristics. Soils were examined by digging pits at representative locations and periodically along the wetland boundary. Pits were dug to a depth necessary to confirm hydric soil characteristics, up to a maximum depth of 24 inches. Soil color determinations were made using MUNSELL Soil Color Charts (Kollmorgen Instruments Corporation, 2000). Site soil characteristics were compared to those mapped and described in the Soil Survey for Hennepin County. Wetland boundaries were located and marked with sequentially numbered, pink "Wetland Delineation" pin flags. The locations of the pin flags were surveyed by Schoell Madson. The wetland edge is considered the highest extent of the wetland basin; areas above the boundary fail to meet the three required wetland parameters while areas below the edge meet the wetland parameters required by the field delineation methodology. The results of the delineation are presented at the end of this document. Wetland Classification Classification of the wetland basins are included on the (RODM) data sheets in Appendix A. Wetland classification follows the methods described in Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin, et al., 1979) and used by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetland Inventory. The Circular 39 classification (Shaw and Fredine, 1956)is also provided. Results The field delineation was conducted under normal temperature conditions and normal precipitation conditions as compared to the historical average for the region. Most of the vegetation was Ink identifiable, including all dominant species. One wetland area along the south edge of the peninsula was identified, delineated and classified. The (RODM) data forms indicate the dominant species of vegetation and the soil and hydrologic characteristics at a representative location around the basins. A review of the wetland delineation boundary line was conducted and field reviewed by Angela Hammers at the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District on---. Wetland A Wetland Delineation Report SMI Project No.63514-011 Baldur Park Rd. Page 3 Wetland A, as defined previously, is located west of the maintained lawn behind the existing house (Figure 5). The boundary of this wetland was delineated based on site topography and site conditions. Wetland A was not identified on the NWI map (Figure 2). However, Schoell Madson classified the wetland as a Type 3 Inland shallow fresh marsh. Wetland A was dominated by an unknown species of cattail (Typha sp.), and reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) in the herbaceous layer. The shrub layer was comprised of red-osier dogwood (Cornus stolonifera). The upper canopy was comprised of Eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides). The data was collected at representative sample locations within the wetland and upland areas. The wetland area was' located in a low topographic position with obvious drainage patterns. Hydrology was observed at the surface of the wetland area and the soil was saturated at the surface. The soil profile within the wetland at the first transect consisted of 0-6 inches of very dark brown (10YR 2/2) silty clay loam in the upper layer. The lower portion of the soil profile consisted of 6-24 inches of dark gray (10YR 4/1) with dark reddish brown (5YR 3/4) mottles at approximately 40 percent coverage along with light olive brown (2.5 Y 5/4) at approximately 30 percent coverage. These soils do not concur with the local soil survey, which are classified as well drained Angus loam (USDA, 2004). Angus loam soils are not listed on the federal and county hydric soils lists. The soil profile at the second transect consisted of 0-12 inches of very dark gray (10 YR 3/1) silt loam. The lower portion of the soil profile consisted of dark gray (10 YR 4/1) clay loam with dark reddish brown (5 YR 3/4) mottles at approximately 25 percent coverage along with black (10YR 2/1) mottles at approximately 5 percent coverage. The soils do not concur with the local soil survey, which are classified as poorly to very poorly drained Tadkee soils (USDA, 2004). Tadkee soils are listed on the federal and county hydric soils lists. The upland vegetation was dominated by Kentucky blue grass (Poa pratensis), and goldenrod sp. (Solidago sp.) in the herbaceous layer. The shrub layer was dominated by common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica). The upper canopy was dominated by mixed deciduous trees. Soil samples were taken from the adjacent upland areas at representative sampling stations. As a result, the soil profile at the first transect consisted of 0-18 inches of very dark brown (10YR 2/2) sandy loam. The second soil transect was consistent with the initial findings. These soils concur with the local soil survey, which are classified as well drained Angus loam (USDA, 2004). Hydrology was not found in the upper 18 inches of the soil profile. Wetland Delineation Report SMI Project No. 63514-011 Baldur Park Rd. Page 4 • Regulatory Considerations Wetlands in the project area are regulated by several agencies at the local, regional, state, and federal levels including the (USACE) and the (EPA) at the federal level; the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR), Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR) at the state level; and Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) at the local level. The MCWD has accepted the responsibility for the administration of the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) of 1991. Construction plans that propose any direct alteration or indirect impact to wetlands or watercourses within the project area will require permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies. Violation of wetland regulations can result in substantial civil and/or criminal penalties. Wetland Delineation Report SMI Project No.63514-011 Baldur Park Rd.
