1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
Sunde Land Surveying (Sunde) retained Pinnacle Engineering, Inc. (Pinnacle) to
conduct a Level 2, On-Site, Wetland Delineation of three parcels of land located at 485
Orono Orchard Road South, 1401 Orono Lane and 1391 Fox Street in Orono,
Minnesota. The three parcels are located near the northern shore of Lake Minnetonka,
are further divided into four areas by local streets, and total approximately 22.6 acres
(Site). The proposed project area is within the N ½ of SW ¼ of Section 30, Township
23N, Range 27W (Lat: 44.968781°, Long: -93.560311°). The Site consists of houses,
gardens, fallow fields, wooded areas, and wetlands. The Site is divided into three
properties, the northern, eastern, and southern properties. Wetland area located in all
of the properties.
The level 2 wetland determination was conducted in substantial conformance with the
1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual, updated February 25,
1997, and utilizes the Midwest Regional Supplement. The attached report documents
the methods and findings of the delineation. The purpose of the wetland delineation was
to determine the presence of wetland areas on the Site.
1.2 Scope
Pinnacle conducted a Level 2 Onsite Wetland Determination and Delineation in
accordance with the criteria established in the 1987 U. S. Army Corps of Engineers
Wetland Delineation Manual, updated in 1997, utilizing the Midwest Regional
Supplement. The work included the following items:
• Review of County Soil Surveys, USGS topographic maps, National Wetland
Inventory (NWI) Maps, Public Water Inventory (PWI) maps, and aerial
photographs.
• Collect vegetation, soils, and hydrology field data,
• Delineation of the identified wetlands within the Site.
• Place boundary flags, and
• Preparation and submittal of this report summarizing the findings.
2.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION
2.1 Site Location and Use
The Site consists of two parcels that total approximately 22.6-acres. The property is
located at 485 Orono Orchard Road South and 1401 Orono Lane, Orono, Hennepin
County, Minnesota, which is within the N ½ of SW ¼ of Section 30, Township 23N, Range
27W (Lat: 44.968781°, Long: -93.560311°).

763-315-4501 Page 2 Pinnacle Project Number: EM20212672
The Site consists of houses, out buildings, gardens, wooded areas, access roads, fallow
fields, wetlands, and upland areas. The property identification numbers (PIDs) of the
properties are 0211723320001 (the northern and central property; 485 Orono Orchard
Road South), 0211723340020 (eastern property; 1391 Fox Street) and 0211723330015
(the southern property; 1401 Orono Lane). Fox Street runs through the northern property.
Figure 1 shows the Site in its current configuration. The Site was investigated to
determine the wetland boundaries of wetland areas located within the three areas of
interest.
2.2 Surveys and Maps
Pinnacle conducted a review of the Hennepin County Soil Survey, topographic maps,
Protected Waters Inventory (PWI), and National Wetland Inventory (NWI) for the vicinity
of the Site. The following sections summarize the information available at the time of this
review.
2.2.1 Topographic Maps
The Site is divided into four areas of interest within the Site. The northern portion of 485
Orono Orchard Road South extends from Fox Street north to the northern property
boundary. The elevation of the northern area of the Site is steeply sloping, ranging from
approximately 1,000 feet above mean sea level (AMSL) in the northeastern central
portion of the Site to approximately 962 feet AMSL in the northeastern portion and 940
AMSL in the southern portion of the northern area of the site near Fox Street.
The southern portion of 485 Orono Orchard Road South lies south of Fox Street and
extends south to nearly the intersection of Orono Orchard Road S and Shoreline Drive.
The southern portion of 485 Orono Orchard Road South slopes moderately, ranging from
approximately 996 feet AMSL in the northeastern portion of southern portion of 485 Orono
Orchard Road South to approximately 940 feet AMSL in the western portion of southern
portion of 485 Orono Orchard Road South.
The eastern property, 1391 Fox Street, is located east of Orono Orchard Road South,
between Fox Street and Shoreline Drive. The eastern property slopes moderately,
ranging from approximately 968 feet AMSL in the northern portion to approximately 932
feet AMSL in the southwestern portion of the eastern property.
The southern property, 1401 Orono Lane, extends southward from the intersection of
Shoreline Drive and Orono Lane to Lake Minnetonka. This property moderately slopes
from approximately 944 feet AMSL in the north central portion of the southern property to
approximately 928 feet AMSL where Lake Minnetonka is located. Based on the contour
intervals on the topographic map, surficial drainage appears to drain to the south, toward
Lake Minnetonka.

2.2.2 Soil Survey
The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey map, which is
included as Figure 3, was reviewed for information pertaining to the Site soils. The Soil
Survey indicated the Site soil units consist of Muskego, Blue Earth, and Houghton soils,
ponded, 0 to 1 percent slopes (L16A), Lester loam, 6 to 16 percent slopes, moderately
eroded (L22C2, L22D2), Lester loam, 10 to 22 percent slopes (L22E), Hamel, overwash-
Hamel complex, 0 to 3 percent slopes (L36A), Angus loam, 2 to 6 percent slopes (L37B),
Angus-Kilkenny complex, 2 to 6 percent slopes (L40B), Lester-Kilkenny complex, 6 to 10
percent slopes, moderately eroded (L41C2), Lester-Kilkenny complex, 16 to 22 percent
slopes, (L41E), Muskego and Houghton soils, 0 to 1 percent slopes (L50A), and
Udorthents, wet substratum, 0 to 2 percent slopes (U2A). Of the identified soil types,
Muskego, Blue Earth, and Houghton, Klossner, and Muskego and Houghton soils are
considered hydric soils.
2.2.3 Wetland Inventory Maps
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)-National Wetland Inventory (NWI)
map for the Site area, which is included as Figure 4, depicts three freshwater emergent,
persistent, temporarily or seasonally flooded wetlands (PEM1A, PEM1C) in the in the
northern property, and one freshwater emergent persistent, seasonally flooded (PEM1C)
wetland in the southern portion of the eastern property. A lacustrine, littoral,
unconsolidated bottom, permanently flooded (L2UBH) wetland is located adjacent the
southern area. NWI maps generally show the approximate location of wetlands as of the
time of publication.
2.2.4 Public Waters Inventory
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Public Waters Inventory (PWI)
produces a map of the protected wetlands and waters of the State. The PWI map, which
is included as Figure 5, identified two Public Waters. One is located in the northeastern
portion of the northern area with the identification number: 27086600. The other Public
Water (Lake Minnetonka) is located adjacent the southern area with an identification
number of 27013302. Additional PWI-mapped Public Water are present to the southwest
of the Site.
3.0 WETLAND DETERMINATION
3.1 Methodology
The wetland determination was made utilizing the techniques of the Routine Onsite
Method, as described in the 1987 U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation
Manual, updated February 25, 1997 and utilizing the Midwest Regional Supplement.
Determination of hydric soils, site hydrology, and hydrophytic vegetation were made
according to the procedures and guidelines described in the manual. Sampling locations
were selected to be representative of wetland/upland transition areas.

Scott Thelen of Pinnacle assessed the wetlands within the project area on May 10, 2021.
Vegetation, soil, and hydrology indicators were noted during the field event. The
characteristics noted for each sampling location are documented in the data forms, which
are included in Appendix A. Potential wetland boundaries were collected using a
handheld GPS unit and were flagged for review. A figure of the wetland area is included
as Figure 2.
The 2021 seasonal antecedent rainfall amounts were within the normal precipitation
amounts for this area. Rain in the amount of 0.08 inches occurred the fourteen days prior
to the wetland delineation field visit.

Wetland Type L2UBH
The NWI Cowardin wetland classification system identifies the L2UBH label for a wetland
that consists of all wetlands and deepwater habitats wetlands situated in a topographic
depression and total area of at least 20 acres. Similar wetlands and deepwater habitats
totaling less than 20 acres are also included in the Lacustrine System if an active wave-
formed or bedrock shoreline feature makes up all or part of the boundary, or if the water
depth in the deepest part of the basin equals or exceeds 8.2 feet at low water. This
classification applies to Wetland 1 which corresponds to Lake Minnetonka and is
identified on the NWI map. The soil survey did not indicate hydric soils are located within
the Wetland 1 area.
Wetland Type PEM1A
The NWI Cowardin wetland classification system identifies the PEM1A label for a wetland
that consists of a palustrine basin, dominated by persistent emergent vegetation,
consisting of erect, rooted, herbaceous hydrophyte species that normally remain standing
at least until the beginning of the next growing season, that is temporarily flooded. Surface
water is present for brief periods during the growing season, but the water table usually
lies well below the ground surface for most of the season. This classification applies to
wetlands 2 and 4. Wetlands 2 and 4 are mapped on the NWI map. The soil survey did
not indicate hydric soils located within these wetland areas.
Wetland Type PEM1C
The NWI Cowardin wetland classification system identifies the PEM1C label for a wetland
that consists of a palustrine basin, dominated by persistent emergent vegetation,
consisting of erect, rooted, herbaceous hydrophyte species that normally remain standing
at least until the beginning of the next growing season, that is seasonally flooded. Surface
water is present for extended periods especially early in the growing season but is absent
by the end of the growing season in most years. The water table after flooding ceases is
variable, extending from saturated to the surface to a water table well below the ground
surface. The NWI map for the Site area indicated one PEM1C wetland contained within
the Site boundaries, which corresponds to Wetlands 3. The soils survey did indicate
hydric soils located within the Wetland 3 area.
4.0 DISCUSSION
Pinnacle conducted a Level 2, On-Site, Wetland Delineation of three parcels of land
located at 485 Orono Orchard Road South, 1401 Orono Road and 1391 Fox Street in
Orono, Minnesota. The three parcels are located near the northern shore of Lake
Minnetonka and total approximately 24.44 acres (Site). The proposed project area is
within the N ½ of SW ¼ of Section 30, Township 23N, Range 27W (Lat: 44.968781°,
Long: -93.560311°).
The northern property extends from near the intersection of Orono Orchard Road South
and Shoreline Drive north to the northern property boundary. The eastern property

extends northeast from the intersection of Shoreline Drive and Orono Orchard South to
Fox Street. The southern property extends from the intersection of Shoreline Drive and
Orono Lane south to Lake Minnetonka. The Site consists of houses, gardens, fallow
fields, wooded areas, and wetlands.
The level 2 delineation was conducted in substantial conformance with the 1987 U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual, updated February 25, 1997, and
utilized the Midwest Regional Supplement.
The elevation of the properties ranges from 1,000 feet AMSL to 940 feet AMSL and from
996 feet AMSL to 940 feet AMSL in the northern property, separated by Fox Street. The
eastern property elevation ranges from approximately 968 feet AMSL in the northern
portion to approximately 932 feet AMSL. The southern elevation ranges from 944 feet
AMSL to 928 feet AMSL, where Lake Minnetonka is located. Based on the contour
intervals on the topographic map, surficial drainage appears to drain to the south, toward
Lake Minnetonka. The Soil Survey indicated hydric soil are located in the areas of
Wetlands 1 (Lake Minnetonka) and 3. According to the NCRS Soil Survey, the remainder
of the wetland areas are not located in hydric soils.
The 2021 seasonal antecedent rainfall amounts were within the normal precipitation
amounts for this area. Rain in the amount of 0.08 inches occurred the fourteen days prior
to the wetland delineation field visit.
Wetland 1 is the shore of Lake Minnetonka. Under the Cowardin system Wetland 1 would
be considered a L2UBH deepwater habitat with a forested wetland fringe. Under the
Circular 39 system, Wetland 1 is considered a Type 5 wetland. The majority of the wetland
fringe is dominated by buckthorn. Hydric soils and wetland hydrology were found to be
present. The wetland boundary was determined on the northern edge of the wetland and
followed the topography and elevation of the slopes from the upland area to lake
Minnetonka. Wetland 1 extends to the south beyond the Site boundary.
Wetland 2 is a basin located in the southern portion of the of northern area of
interest. Under the Cowardin system Wetland 2 would be considered a palustrine,
emergent, persistent, temporary flooded (PEM1A) basin. Wetland 2 consists of a swale
that funnels drainage from the surrounding upland area. A roadway and underlying
culvert appear to slow and constrict the drainage of the wetland to the south. Under the
Circular 39 system, Wetland 2 is considered a Type 2 wetland. Wetland 2 is
dominated by hydrophytes comprised primarily of reed canary grass. Hydric soils
were found to be present. Hydrology appeared to be present and was based on
water in the sampling hole within 12 inches of the surface. The wetland edge was
determined on the southeastern edge of the wetland and followed the vegetation
change along the swale.
Wetland 3 is a large basin located in the northeastern portion of the of northern area
of interest. Under the Circular 39 system, Wetland 3 is considered a Type 3 wetland.
Under the Cowardin system Wetland 3 would be considered a palustrine, emergent,
persistent, seasonally flooded (PEM1C) basin. Culverts enter Wetland 3 at various
locations along the wetland border. Wetland 3 is dominated by hydrophytes comprised
of a reed canary

grass and cattails. Hydric soils were found to present. The wetland is located at the toe
of adjacent steep slopes of upland areas that surround the wetland basin. The wetland
edge was determined on the southern edge of the wetland and followed the topography
and elevation of the slopes from the upland area to the wetland basin. Wetland 3 extends
to the northeast beyond the Site boundary.
Wetland 4 is a basin located in the northwestern portion of the of northern area of interest.
Under the Cowardin system Wetland 4 would be considered a palustrine, emergent,
persistent, temporary flooded (PEM1A) basin. The surrounding upland areas drain into
the wetland basin. A swale appears to drain the basin to the southwest during large
rainfall events. Under the Circular 39 system, Wetland 4 is considered a Type 2 wetland.
Wetland 2 is dominated by hydrophytes primarily comprised of reed canary grass. Hydric
soils were found to be present. The wetland edge was determined on the southern edge
of the wetland and followed the vegetation change along the wetland basin.
Wetland 5 is a small basin located in the southwestern portion of the of southeastern
property. Under the Circular 39 system, Wetland 3 is considered a Type 3 wetland.
Under the Cowardin system Wetland 3 would be considered a palustrine, emergent,
persistent, seasonally flooded (PEM1C) basin. Wetland 3 is dominated by hydrophytes
comprised of lake sedge, reed canary grass, and cattails. Hydric soils were found to
present. The wetland is located at the bottom of steep slopes of adjacent upland areas
that surround the wetland basin. The wetland edge was determined on the northern edge
of the wetland and followed the topography and elevation of the slopes from the upland
area to the wetland basin. Wetland 5 extends to the south beyond the Site boundary.
The Local Governmental Unit (LGU), the DNR, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will
determine the jurisdictional wetland status of the identified wetland areas.
5.0 CONCLUSION
Pinnacle performed a Level 2, On-Site, Wetland Delineation of three parcels of land
located at 485 Orono Orchard Road South in Orono, Minnesota. The three parcels are
located near the northern shore of Lake Minnetonka and total approximately 22.6 acres.
The level 2 delineation was conducted in substantial conformance with the 1987 U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual, updated February 25, 1997, and
utilized the Midwest Regional Supplement.
During the field assessment, it was determined that five areas within the Site met all three
of the mandatory criteria of a wetland. The wetland boundaries were recorded utilizing a
handheld GPS device and were flagged for survey by Sunde Land Surveying. The
delineation will be reviewed by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District which serves as
the LGU administering Minnesota’s Wetland Conservation Act and the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers, which administers the Clean Water Act

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 Wetland Delineations in Minnesota (2013).
