Edwards Property 2. OVERVIEW Wetland Delineation Report The 2.2-acre Edwards Property was inspected on May 31, 2017 for the presence and extent of wetland. The property was located in Section 20, Township 117 North, Range 23 West, City of Orono, Hennepin County, Minnesota. The site was situated south of Shoreline Drive (Figure 1). The property corresponded to the northern three quarters of Hennepin County P1Ds 20-117-23- 12-0027 and 20-117-23-12-0028. The site consisted of woodland dominated by a canopy of American elm, cottonwood, and green ash trees with a dense understory of common buckthorn shrubs, ground ivy, and garlic mustard. An eroded channel was located in the western portion of the property, which flowed to the south into Lake Minnetonka. Site topography was highest in the northern portion of the property The property was bordered on the west by single-family homes, on the south by Lake Minnetonka, on the east by commercial businesses, and on the north by Shoreline Drive. One wetland was delineated within the site boundaries. The delineated wetland boundaries and existing conditions are shown on Figure 2. Appendix A of this report includes a Joint Application Form for Activities Affecting Water Resources in Minnesota, which is submitted in request for: (1) a wetland boundary and type determination under the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (WCA), and (2) delineation concurrence and a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) under Section 404 of the Federal Clean Water Act. 3. METHODS Wetlands were identified using the Routine Determination method described in the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (Waterways Experiment Station, 1987) and the Regional Suol_ement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Midwest Region (Version 2.0) as required under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act. Wetland boundaries were identified as the upper -most extent of wetland that met criteria for hydric soils, hydrophytic vegetation, and wetland hydrology. Wetland -upland boundaries were marked with pin flags. The property at this time was not officially surveyed, but an official site survey will be submitted at a later date. Soils, vegetation, and hydrology were documented at a representative location along the wetland - upland boundary. Plant species dominance was estimated based on the percent aerial or basal coverage visually estimated within a 30-foot radius for trees and vines, a 15-foot radius for the shrub layer, and a 5-foot radius for the herbaceous layer within the community type sampled. Edwards Property Wetland Delineation Report Soils were characterized to a minimum depth of 24 inches (unless otherwise noted) using a Munsell Soil Color Book and standard soil texturing methodology. Hydric soil indicators used are from Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States (USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS) in cooperation with the National Technical Committee for Hydric Soils, Version 7, 2010). Mapped soils are separated into five classes based on the composition of hydric components and the Hydric Rating by Map Unit color classes utilized on Web Soil Survey. The five classes include Hydric (100 percent hydric components), Predominantly Hydric (66 to 99 percent hydric components), Partially Hydric (33 to 65 percent hydric components), Predominantly Non-Hydric (1 to 32 percent hydric components), and Non-Hydric (less than one percent hydric components). Plants were identified using standard regional plant keys. Taxonomy and indicator status of plant. species was takers from the 2016 National Wetland Plant List (U-S_ Army Corps of Engineers 2016. National Wetland Plant List, version 3.3, Engineer Research and Development Center, Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory, Hanover, NH). 4. RESULTS 4.1 Review of NWI, Soils, Public Waters, and NHD Information The National Wetlands Inventory„(NWI) (Minnesota Gcospatial Commons 2009-2014 and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) showed one PFOIA/L2UBH wetland within the property boundaries (Figure 3). The Soil Survey (USDA NRCS 2015) did not show any hydric and partially hydric soil types within the property boundaries. Soil types mapped on the property are listed in Table 1 and a map showing soil types is included in Figure 4. The Hydric Soil Lists — All Components table is included in Appendix C. Table 1. Soil types mapped on the Edwards Property Symbol Soil Name Acres % of Area % Hydric Hydric Category Urban land-Udorthents, wet UlA substratum, complex, 0 to 2 2.16 98.2 0 Non-Hydric percent slopes Urban land-Udorthents, (cut and U6B fill land) complex, 0 to 6 percent 0.03 1.8 0 Non-Hydric slopes The Minnesota DNR Public Waters Inventor (Minnesota Department of Natural Resources 2015) showed Lake Minnetonka — Upper Lake (DNR Public Water 27-133-05P) located within the property boundaries (Figure 5). The National HvdroglVby Dataset (U-S. Geological Survey 2015) showed one waterbody located within the property boundaries (Figure 6). Edwards Property Wetland Delineation Report 4.2 Wetland Determinations and Delineations Potential wetlands were evaluated during field observations on May 31, 2017.One wetland was identified and delineated on the property (Figure 2). Corresponding data forms are included in Appendix B. The following descriptions of the wetlands and adjacent uplands reflects conditions observed at the time of the field visit. Herbaceous vegetation was actively growing at the time of the wetland delineation. Precipitation conditions were wetter than the normal range based on available 30-day rolling total precipitation and three-month antecedent precipitation data (Appendix C) and field observations. Wetland 1 was a forested and partially drained, Type 1 (PFOIAd) seasonally flooded basin located in western portion of the property. The wetland was sparsely vegetated with green ash trees, common buckthorn trees, garlic mustard, and jack-in-the-pulpit. Surface saturation was observed within the center of the wetland. Adjacent upland consisted of woodland dominated by American elm, cottonwood, and green ash trees with a dense understory of common buckthorn shrubs, garlic mustard, and ground ivy. Primary and two secondary hydrology indicators were not observed in the upland. The wetland boundary corresponded to a topographic rise that coincided with a transition to a FAC/FACU dominated plant community. The wetland was shown as a PFOIA wetland on the NWI map and was located in an area mapped as non-hydric soil (Urban land-Udorthents) on the soil survey. Wetland 1 drained to the south through an eroded drainage channel into Lake Minnetonka. 4.3 Other Areas No other areas with hydrophytic vegetation or wetland hydrology were observed on the site. No other areas were shown as hydric soil on the soil survey or as wetland on the NWI map. 4.4 Request for Wetland Boundary and Jurisdictional Determination Appendix A of this report includes a Joint Application Form for Activities Affecting Water Resources in Minnesota, which is submitted in request for: (1) a wetland boundary and type determination under the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (WCA), and (2) delineation concurrence and an Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) under Section 404 of the Federal Clean Water Act.

Minnesota Interagency Water Resource Application Form February 2014 Page 4 of 11 Project Name and/or Number: Edwards Property 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 1997 Manual, and the Guidelines for Submitting Wetland Delineations in Minnesota (2013). httwww_mv .usace.arm .mil Missions Re ulato DelineationJDGuidance.as x Minnesota Interagency Water Resource Application Form February 2014 Page S of 11 Edwards Property Wetland Delineation Report APPENDIX B Wetland Delineation Data Forms WETLAND DETERMINATION DATA FORM - Midwest Region Project/Site Edwards Property CitylCounty: Orono Sampling hate: 5/31/2017 Applicant/Owner: Bruce & Scott Edwards State: MN Sampling Point: SP1-1 U Investigator(s): A.
