ABSTRACT
Svoboda Ecological Resources (SER) visited the above referenced property on 11/16/13 to
examine the site for the presence of areas meeting wetland criteria. 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.

Plant Indicator Status
INDICATOR CATEGORIES*
Obligate Wetland (OBL)—Occur almost always (estimated probability >99%) under natural
conditions in wetlands.
Facultative Wetland (FACW)—Usually occur in wetlands (estiinated probabiliry 67%- 99%),
but occasionally found in non-wetlands.
Facultative(FAC)—Equally likely to occur in wetlands or non-wetlands (estimated probability
34% - 66%).
Facultative Upland (FACU)—Usually occur in non-wetlands (estimated probability 67%-
99%),but occasionally found in wetlands (estimated probabiliry 1%-33%).
Obligate Upland (UPL)—Occur in wetlands in another region, but occur almost always
(estimated probability>99%) under natural conditions in non-wetlands in the region specified. If
a species does not occur in wetlands in any region, it is not on the National List.

2,640 feet south, 2,660 feet west of the northeast corner of sec. 24, T. 108 N., R. 21 W.;
USGS Medford West quadrangle; lat. 44 degrees 8 minutes 46 seconds N. and long. 93
degrees 17 minutes 45 seconds W.,NAD27.
RANGE IN CHARACTERISTICS: Depth to free carbonates is 30 to 60 inches or
more. The Ap in a few pedons will have small amounts of free carbonates. The thickness
of the mollic epipedon ranges from 24 to 80 inches. The control section averages between
22 and 35 percent clay and from 15 to 30 percent fine sand and coarser. Rock fragments
of mixed lithology comprise 0 to 5 percent of the volume of the A and B horizons and 2
to 8 percent of the C horizon. Some pedons have an 0 horizon up to 6 inches in thickness.
A stratified substratum phase is recognized with silt loam, sand, sandy loam, and loamy
sand textures below 40inches.
The Ap or A horizon has hue of lOYR to SY or neutral, value of 2 or 3, and chroma of 0
or 1. It is clay loam, silty clay loam, or loam with 25 to 35 percent clay. Ponded phases
may have mucky modifiers. It is commonly neutral but ranges from slightly alkaline to
slightly acid.
AB horizon has colors and textures similar to the A and Bg horizons.
The Bg horizon has hue of SY or 2.SY, value of 2 to 5, and chroma of 1 or 2. Dark
colored tongues from the A horizon range from few to common. It is loam, clay loam or
silty clay loam. Near the center of some depressions, some pedons have B horizons that
have a slight clay increase relative to the A horizons. It is neutral to slightly alkaline, but
in some pedons the lower part of the B horizon is slightly alkaline with slight
effervescence. The Bg horizon is absent in some pedons.
The Cg horizon has hue of SY or 2.SY, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 1 to 4. It is loam,
clay loam or silty clay loam. It is slightly alkaline, with weak or strong effervescence.
Calcium carbonate segregations are present in some pedons.
COMPETING SERIES: These are the Coland, Com(rey, Deltt, Gielow, James Can��on,
Keddie, Kilnmerlin��, Konner, McClave, Peoh, Romnell, Shandep, and �'Vcnas series.
Coland and Comfrey soils do not have rock fragments in their control sections. In
addition, Coland soils are deeper to free carbonates. Delft soils are poorly drained, are not
in closed depressions, have prismatic structure in subsoil, and do not have tongues of the
A horizon in the Bg horizon. Gielow, James Canyon, Keddie, Kimmerling, Konner,
McClave, Peoh, and Wenas soils are drier in the soil moisture control section during the
120 days following the summer solstice. Romnell soils contain appreciable amounts of
gypsum in their sola. Shandep soils do not have tongues of A horizon in the Bg horizon
and have a coarse textured 2C horizon.
GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: Glencoe soils typically are in closed depressions or low
gradient swales within the Des Moines lobe of the Late Wisconsinan glaciation. The
Glencoe soils are formed in loamy colluvial sediments and loamy glacial till. Mean
annual temperature ranges from 45 to 52 degrees F. Mean annual precipitation ranges
from 25 to 32 inches. The frost free days range from 124 to 172. The elevation above sea
level range from 700 to 1600 feet.
GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: These are the Canisteo, Clarion, Na� .s,
Nicollet, and Webster soils. The well drained Clarion soils are on the sloping uplands.
Somewhat poorly drained Nicollet and the poorly drained Canisteo, Webster, and Harps
soils are on nearly level to gently undulating slopes. All the above have mollic epipedons
less than 24 inches thick. In addition, the Canisteo and Harps soils contain free
carbonates throughout. The Glencoe soils also are associated with the Ha �de�i and Lestei-
soils and their respective topographic associates in some places.
DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: Very poorly drained. Surface runoff is
negligible. Permeability is moderate or moderately slow.
USE AND VEGETATION: Mostly drained and cropped to corn and soybeans. Native
vegetation was a wet site plant community of the tall grass prairie plant formation.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: South-central Minnesota and possibly north- central
Iowa. Large extent.

REMARKS: Diagnostic horizons and featured recognized in this pedon are: mollic
subgroup -the zone from the surface to 7 inches (Ap horizon); argillic horizon - the zone
from 7 to 38 inches(Bt horizons). Type location moved from Waseca County, Mn. to
Wright County, Mn., 11/96 to better exemplify the series concept within the MLRA.
Slopes of 1 to 5 percent that were previously correlated as Lester may be included with
the Angus series in the future.
