The study parcel is located in the city of Orono, MN in Hennepin Counry (Figt�re 1). One wetland boundary was delineated at this site. One sample transect was established along the northeastern boundary of the wetland area in order to characterize the soil, vegetation, and existing lrydrology witltin the wetland-to- upland transition zone. INTRODUCTION The subject parcel is approximately 0.36 acres and is dominated by lawn and the property owner's structure with the wooded wetland area to the southwest. The topography of the site is a steep slope running from the road to the northeast to the wetland area to the southwest. The surrounding land use is primarily closely spaced single family homes while the parcel itself is bordered immediately on the northeast side by road. The identified wetland was classified according to the Cowardin et al., the Circular 39 and the Eggers and Reed classification systems and marked with pink "Wetland Delineation"pin flags. The Technical Documents section of this report contains field data sheets, plant indicator status information, soil survey information, and wetland definition information. METHODS The methods used to delineate the subject parcel are as described in the 1987 US Army Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and the 2010 Midwest Regional Supplement Manual. In the 1987 Manual, the methods used were described under the "routine" methods for sites less than 5 acres. This methodology is followed in order to assess whether the three parameters of a wetland are met for areas on the subject parcel. The three parameters required under normal circumstances in order to delineate a wetland are described in the Technical Documents section. The Midwest Regional Supplement Wetland Delineation Manual is also being utilized to increase the accuracy of our wetland boundaries. This addendum to the original 87 Manual was created to address the many regional differences that affect wetlands and the delineation methods used throughout the country. The following explanations are passages from that document. "This Regional Supplement is part of a nationwide effort to address regional wetland characteristics and improve the accuracy and efficiency of wetland- delineation procedures. Regional differences in climate, geology, soils, hydrology plant and animal communities, and other factors are important to the identification and functioning of wetlands. These differences cannot be considered adequately in a single national manual. The development of this supplement follows NationaL Academy of Sciences recommendations to increase the regional sensitivity of wetland-delineation methods (National Research Council 1995).The intent of this supplement is to bring the Corps Manual up to Svoboda Ecological Resources 1 3759 Casco Ave Project Number. 2013-033 Orono,MN date with current knowledge and practice in the region and not to change wetland boundaries." "...This Regional Supplement is designed for use with the current version of the Corps Manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987) and all subsequent versions. Where differences in the two documents occur, this Regional Supplement takes precedence over the Corps Manual for applications in the Midwest Region." National Wetland Inventory (NWI) maps (Figure 2), Web Soil Survey of Hennepin County map (Figure 3), Minnesota Public Waters Inventory maps (Figure 4), and 2012 aerial photographs were reviewed prior to the site visit to identify areas that may be wetlands. 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. Sample transects were established in representative wetland-to-upland transition zones in order to characterize the vegetation, soils, and hydrology of the site. Transects consist of a representative upland sample point and representative wetland sample point. Information obtained at the sample points can be found on the field data sheets located in the Technical Documents section. Wetland boundaries were marked at the site by pink "Wetland Delineation" pin flags. The wetland boundary is considered to be the topographically highest extent of the wetland basin; areas below the staked boundary met the three required wetland criteria while areas above were lacking in one or more of these criteria. Wetlands were classified in accordance with methods described by Cowardin et al. (1979) and used in the NWI (e.g. PEMB, PSS1C, etc.), completed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The Circular 39 and Eggers and Reed classification systems are also given. The indicator status of plants, as described in the Technical Documents section, was determined using the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands — Region 3 (Sabine 1999). RESULTS The National Wetland Inventory does not indicate the presence of a wetland in the survey area. (Figure 2). The Web Soil Survey of Hennepin County (Figure 3) identifies two soil map units present on the subject property. They are as follows: Muskego, Blue Earth, and Houghton soils, ponded and Tadkee-Tadkee, depressional, complex. The Muskego type is the hydric soil on the site. The Tadkee type is predominantly hydric. Soil series descriptions are provided in the Technical Documents section. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, State Protected Waters Map (Public Water Inventory) indicates no public waters within the study area(Figure 4). Site Visit SER ecologists examined the subject property for areas meeting jurisdictional wetland criteria during the site visit. One area meeting the jurisdictional criteria of a wetland was flagged, and boundaries were determined and delineated. The approximate wetland boundary is outlined in yellow (Figure 5). Svoboda Ecological Resources 2 3759 Casco Ave Project Number: 2013-033 Orono,MN The wetland on site is not mapped on the NWI. The wetland vegetation in the PEMA Type 1 seasonally flooded basin was generally open with a pocket of lake sedge (Carex lacustris) at the sample point. The wetland pocket is surrounded by cottonwood (Populits deltoides), American elm (Ulmus americana), and silver maple (Acer saccharinum). The transition area between the wetland and the upland sample point was recently disturbed by brush and woody debris removal. The wetland edge was established while the surveyor was on site based on elevation data and remaining vegetation. The transition to upland can be marked vegetatively and structurally, primarily as the wet spongy soil disappears. Sample point SP 1 Wet was taken from the southwest side of the seasonally flooded wetland. The soils at sample point SP 1 Wet consisted of clay loam at the surface followed by two clay layers. Saturation was present at 18 inches. Hydric indicator A3 (Black Histic) was present. The soils at sample point SP 1 Up consisted of layers of sandy loam and sandy clay with gravel. No hydric indicators were present. No wetland hydrology indicators were present at sample point SP 1 Up. At sample point SP 1 Wet indicators, A3 (Saturation) and secondary indicators D2 (Geomorphic Position) and DS (FAC-Neutral Test) were present. Detailed soils, vegetation, and hydrology data for the delineated jurisdictional wetlands are provided in the data sheets of the Technical Documents section. DISCUSSION SER completed all on-site delineations based on the three required technical criteria as outlined by the 1987 ManuaL• the presence of hydric soils, a predominance of hydrophytic vegetation, and indicators of wetland hydrology in each basin. The site visit portion of the wetland delineation was completed on 11/16/13. SER personnel examined the subject property for areas meeting jurisdictional wetland criteria during the site visit and delineated the southwestern and northwestern edges of the PEMA Type 1 seasonally flooded depression as being jurisdictional wetland (Figure 5). Detailed soils, vegetation and hydrology data is provided in the data sheets of the Technical Documents section. A set of figures is provided in the Figures section. RECOMMENDATIONS Activities that impact or could potentially impact wetlands are regulated at several levels of government In Minnesota, the two primary jurisdictions are covered at the state and federal levels by the provisions of the following legislative actions. 1* State jurisdiction by the Wetland Conservation Act of 1991 (WCA) administered by the WCA Local Governmental Unit(LGU). 2* Federal jurisdiction by the Clean Water Act of 1972 and subsequent amendments. Wetland protection is implemented by the Corps of Engineers (Corps) with permit certification issued by the Environmental Protection Agency. Svoboda Ecological Resources 3 3759 Casco Ave Project Number: 2013-033 Orono,MN While the wetland boundaries that SER has delineated are not official until approved by a WCA approved local government unit (LGU), SER advises the property owner/developer to refrain from any filling, draining, or excavating, or any impact to the area SER has delineated as wetland. No grading or filling in wetland basins should commence until all necessary permits have been obtained. Violation of wetland regulations may result in substantial civil and criminal penalties. Local ordinances may regulate wetland modifications such as brush and tree removal and burning in addition to grading and filling. Depending on the location of the property, buffers around the wetland may also be protected. Any activities in the proximity of the wetland should be cleared with appropriate WCA regulatory agencies. It is also advisable to have the wetland boundary surveyed by a licensed land surveyor. Since the pin flags used along the boundary can be vandalized or inadvertently knocked over, a GPS survey of the flags will assure the permanence of the boundary. The client should also be aware that approved wetland boundaries are typically valid for only three years from the date of approval. To avoid project delays associated with wetland regulations, it is essential that you acquire necessary permits from all jurisdictional agencies before initiating activities. A WCA Sequencing form, a WCA and Army Corps of Engineers Replacement Plan Application form, and a DNR permit application are among the materials that you may be required to submit if impacts are proposed for the delineated wetlands. By initiating the permit process as soon as possible, potential costly delays to the project may be avoided.
