The study parcel is located in the city of Wayzata, MN in Hennepin Cotrnry (Figure 1). One wetland boundary was delineated at this site. One sample transect was established along the southern boundary of the wetland area in order to characterize the soil, vegetation, and existing hydrology within the wetland-to-upland transition zone. INTRODUCTION The subject parcel is approximately 0.39 acres and is dominated by lawn grass, the property owner's structure and impermeable concrete driveway. The topography of the site is largely a northeast-facing slope where the property owner's structure is located. . The surrounding land use is primarily closely spaced single family homes while the parcel itself is surrounded immediately on two sides by road surfaces. The identified wetlands were 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 Svoboda Ecological Resources 1 100 Chevy Chase Dr Project Number: 2013-021-03 Orono,MN Council 1995).The intent of this supplement is to bring the Corps Manual up to 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 indicates the presence of no wetlands 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: Lester-Malardi complex and Houghton and Muskego soils, depressional.. The Houghton and Muskego type is the hydric soil on the site. The Lester-Malardi type is predominantly non-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 Svoboda Ecological Resources 2 100 Chevy Chase Dr Project Number: 2013-021-03 Orono,MN boundaries were determined and delineated. The approximate wetland boundary is outlined in yellow (Figure 5). The NWI did not identify the present wetland. The wetland is a shallow ditch that diagonally traverses the property from a northwest to southeast direction. The wetland vegetation in the seasonally inundated ditch was dominated by silver maple seedlings (Acer saccharinum FACW) and reed canary grass (Phalaris aratndinacea FACW). The transition to upland can be marked vegetatively, primarily as the reed canary grass disappears and the lawn begins. Sample point SP 1 Wet was taken from the east end of the temporarily inundated ditch. The soils at sample point SP 1 Wet consisted of a loam at the surface became a clay depleted matrix at 8 inches of depth. Hydric indicator F3 (Depleted Matrix) was present. The soils at sample point SP 1 Up consisted of layers of loam, some of which had concentrations present. No hydric indicators were present. Wetland hydrology was not present at sample point SP 1.At sample point SP 1 Wet indicators B 1 (Water Marks) and B7 (Inundation Visible on Aerial Imagery) 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 9/20/13. SER personnel examined the subject property for areas meeting jurisdictional wetland criteria during the site visit and delineated the southern and northern edges of the seasonally inundated depression as being jurisdictional wetland, likely a PEMC Type 1. (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 3 100 Chevy Chase Dr Project Number: 2013-021-03 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.

National Wetlands Inventory, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, St. Petersburg, Florida. THE TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION SECTION Soil Series Descriptions Acquired from Natural Resource Conservation Service Website,Official Soil Series Descriptions HOUGHTON SERIES The Houghton series consists of very deep, very poorly drained soils formed in herbaceous organic deposits more than 51 inches thick in depressions on lake plains, outwash plains, ground and end moraines and on floodplains. These soils have moderately slow to moderately rapid permeability. Slope ranges from 0 to 2 percent. Mean annual precipitation is about 35 inches, and mean annual temperature is about 50 degrees F. TAXONOMIC CLASS: Euic, mesic Typic Haplosaprists TYPICAL PEDON: Houghton muck- on a level area in a cultivated field. (Colors are for moist soils unless otherwise stated.) Oal--0 to 9 inches; black(N 2.5/0)broken face and rubbed muck(sapric material); about 5 percent fiber, a trace rubbed; weak coarse subangular blocky structure; neutral (pH 7.0 in KCl); abrupt smooth boundary. Oa2--9 to 13 inches; black(N 2.5/0 )broken face, very dark brown(7.SYR 2/2)rubbed muck(sapric material); about 5 percent fiber, a trace rubbed; weak medium granular structure; neutral (pH 7.0 in KCl); abrupt smooth boundary. Oa3--13 to 24 inches; dark reddish brown (SYR 3/2)broken face, dark reddish brown (SYR 2/2) rubbed muck(sapric material); about 15 percent fiber, less than 5 percent rubbed; massive, breaking to thick platy fragments; neutral (pH 7.0 KCl); abrupt smooth boundary. Oa4--24 to 32 inches; black(SYR 2/1) broken face and rubbed muck(sapric material); about 10 percent fiber, a trace rubbed; massive; about 1 percent woody fragments; neutral (pH 7.0 in KCl); clear wavy boundary. Oa5--32 to 48 inches; dark reddish brown (SYR 2/2) broken face, black(SYR 2/1) rubbed muck(Sapric material); about 20 percent fiber, less than 10 percent rubbed; massive, breaking to thick platy fragments; neutral(pH 7.0 in KCl); abrupt smooth boundary. Oa6--48 to 80 inches; dark reddish brown (SYR 2/2)broken face and rubbed muck (sapric material); about 10 percent fiber, less than 10 percent rubbed; massive; slightly sticky; about 15 percent mineral soil; neutral (pH 7.0 in KCl). TYPE LOCATION: Clinton County, Michigan; about 3 miles northeast of the village of Bath; 200 feet north and 400 feet east of the southwest corner of sec. 12, T. 5 N., R. 1 W. USGS Bath topographic quadrangle, lat. 42 degrees 49 minutes 43.4 seconds N. and long. 84 degrees 52 minutes 56.9 seconds W.;NAD 27. RANGE IN CHARACTERISTICS: The organic layers are more than 51 inches thick. The organic fibers are derived primarily from herbaceous plants,but some pedons contain individual layers which contain as much as 30 percent woody material, however, the woody fragment content averages less than 15 percent by volume in the control section. It is very strongly acid to slightly alkaline. The organic layers have hue of lOYR, 7.SYR, or SYR, value of 2 to 3, and chroma of 1 to 3, or is in 2.5/0. The layers are predominantly muck(sapric material), but in some pedons mucky peat(hemic material) has a combined thickness of less than 10 inches and peat (fibric material) less than 5 inches. Some pedons have coprogenous material or marly material below 51 inches COMPETING SERIES: These are the Carlisle, Lena, Peteetnect, Saltese, and Sc;nliahmo<� series. Similar soils are the Adrian, Gar-bondale, Gi•eenwood, Linwood, Lupton, Pal►ns, Ri(le, and Willette series. Carlisle soils derived dominantly from woody materials and contain an average of 15 to 30 percent woody fragments in the control section. Lena soils contain free carbonates throughout. Peteetneet soils are massive or platy in bottom tier, are on elevations of about 4,500 feet, and are substantially drier in the moisture control section during the 120 days following the summer solstice. Saltese and Semiahmoo soils are in areas with mild humid climates. Adrian, Linwood, Palms, and Willette soils have a mineral substrata depths ranging from 16 to about 50 inches. Carbondale, Greenwood, Lupton, and Rifle soils are frigid. GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: Houghton soils occupy closed depressions within lake plains, outwash plains, ground and end moraines, and on floodplains. Slope gradients are less than 2 percent. The mean annual precipitation ranges from about 30 to 42 inches, and the mean annual temperature is about 48 to 53 degrees F. GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: These are the Adria►i, Edselton(T), Edwai•ds, Moston(T), Muske�:o, Palms, and Willette soils. Edselton(T) and Edwards soils are underlain by marly material at depths of 16 to 51 inches. Moston(T), and Muskego soils are underlain by coprogenous material between 16 and 51 inches. Poorly or very poorly drained mineral soils are commonly associated along the margins of the bogs. DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: Very poorly drained. Depth to the seasonal high water table ranges from 2 foot above the surface in ponded phases to 1 foot below the surface from September to June. The potential for surface runoff is very slow or ponded. Permeability is moderately slow to moderately rapid. USE AND VEGETATION: A considerable area of these soils is used for cropland or pasture. Common crops are onions, lettuce, potatoes, celery, radishes, carrots, mint, and some corn. Native vegetation was primarily of marsh grasses, sedges, reeds, buttonbrush, and cattails. Some water-tolerant trees were near the margin of the bog. DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: MLRA 95, 98, 110, 111.

Transect data (T98-MI-003) is on file in MLRA project office, Plymouth, Indiana. Transect shows 100 percent Houghton. MUSKEGO SERIES The Muskego series consists of very deep,very poorly drained soils formed in herbaceous organic material over coprogenous limnic material(sedimentary peat)on glacial lake plains and flood plains.These soils have moderate or moderately rapid permeability in the herbaceous organic material and slow permeability in the coprogenous material. Slopes range from 0 to 2 percent.Mean annual precipitation is about 30 inches near the typical pedon site.Mean annual temperature is about 49 degrees F. TAXONOMIC CLASS: Coprogenous, euic, mesic Limnic Haplosaprists TYPICAL PEDON: Muskego muck - on a slope of less than 1 percent in a cultivated field at an elevation of about 815 feet. (Colars are for moist soil unless otherwise stated.) Oap--O to 9 inches;black(lOYR 2/1)broken face and rubbed muck(sapric material); about 25 percent fiber, 4 percent rubbed; moderate very thick platy structure parting to moderate fine subangular blocky; friable; many fine roots; mostly herbaceous fiber; neutral; abrupt smooth boundary. Oal--9 to 14 inches;black(lOYR 2/1) broken face muck (sapric material); about 30 percent fiber, 5 percent rubbed; moderate very thick platy structure parting to moderate fine subangular blocky; friable; many fine roots; mostly herbaceous fiber; neutral; abrupt smooth boundary. Oa2--14 to 30 inches; dark brown(7.SYR 3/2) broken face muck(sapric material) with few thin(less than 1 inch) layers of mucky peat(hemic material); about 50 percent fiber, 7 percent rubbed; weak thin platy structure; few fine roots; slightly acid; gradual smooth boundary. Lcol--30 to 48 inches; dark olive gray(SY 3/2) coprogenous material with fine thin(less than 1 inch) lenses of yellowish brown(lOYR 5/6)mucky peat(hemic material); weak very thin platy structure; slightly plastic; neutral; diffuse smooth boundary. Lco2--48 to 60 inches; very dark grayish brown(2.SY 3/2) coprogenous material; massive; slightly plastic; slightly alkaline. TYPE LOCATION: Ozaukee County, Wisconsin; about 1 mile east and 2 1/2 miles south of Fredonia; 2,500 feet north and 500 feet west of the southeast corner of sec. 11, T. 11 N., R. 21 E. or 350 feet north and 375 feet west of end of farmstead driveway; USGS Fort Washington topographic quadrangle; latitude - 43 degrees, 25 minutes, 58 seconds N. and longitude - 37 degrees, 56 minutes, 34 seconds W. NAD 27. RANGE IN CHARACTERISTICS: Thickness of the herbaceous organic layers and depth to coprogenous material (sedimentary peat)ranges from 16 to 51 inches. Fibers are derived primarily from herbaceous plants. Some pedons contain fragments of twigs, branches, or logs that range from 1/8 to 5 inches in diameter and amount to less than 15 percent of the volume. Reaction ranges from strongly acid to neutral (water, 1:1)in the surface tier and from strongly acid to slightly alkaline (water, 1:1)in the subsurface and bottom tiers. Silty clay loam overwash, clay loam substratum, marshy(ponded), and flooded phases are recognized in some places. The surface tier has hue of lOYR, 7.SYR, or neutral, value of 2 or 3 and chroma of 0 to 2. The herbaceous organic part of the subsurface and bottom tiers has hue of SYR, 7.SYR or lOYR or is neutral in hue. Value is 2 or 3 and chroma is 0 to 4. It is dominantly muck (sapric material),but some pedons have layers of mucky peat(hemic material) up to 10 inchesthick. The Lco horizon has hue of lOYR, 2.SY, SY, or SGY, value of 2 to 5 and chroma of 1 to 3. It is coprogenous material. Reaction ranges from neutral to moderately alkaline and carbonates are present in some pedons. The Lco horizon has slightly plastic consistence and shrinks upon drying to form hard clods that are difficult to re-wet. COMPETING SERIES: These are the Moston and Toto series. Moston soils have sand below the limnic layer within the 51 inche control section. Toto soils have marl and sand below the limnic layer within the 51 inch control section. GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: The Muskego soils commonly are in depressional areas principally associated with glacial lake plains and flood plains, but other geographical locations are not excluded. Slope ranges from 0 to 2 percent. These soils formed in herbaceous organic material dominantly from grasses, sedges, and reeds over coprogenous limnic material (sedimentary peat). Mean annual temperature ranges from 46 to 52 degrees F. Mean annual precipitation ranges from 25 to 40 inches. The frost free period ranges from about 130 to 180 days. Elevation ranges from 679 to 1400 feet. GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: These are the Hou�ht��ii and Klossner series. Houghton soils are in nearby areas where the organic deposits are more than 51 inches thick and coprogenous material is not in the lower part of the control section. Klossner soils are in areas where the coprogenous material is absent and the herbaceous organic material is underlain by loamy mineral material. DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: Very poorly drained. The potential for surface runoff is low or negligible. Permeability is moderate or moderately rapid in the herbaceous sapric material and slow in the coprogenous material (sedimentary peat). Most Muskego soils have an apparent water table from 1 foot above the surface to 1 foot below the surface in most years for much of the period from November to August. Some Muskego soils have an apparent water table from 3 feet to 1 foot above the surface in most years for much of the period from January to December. USE AND VEGETATION: Most areas remain in natural vegetation and provide wildlife habitat. Natural vegetation is dominantly grasses, reeds, and sedges with scattered hardwoods. A few areas have been drained and are used cropland. DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Southern Wisconsin and southern Minnesota and in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Ohio. MLRA 95B, 98, 102A, 103, 104, 105, 108, ll 0, ll l, 114, and 144A. The Muskego soils are of moderate extent. MLRA OFFICE RESPONSIBLE: Indianapolis, Indiana SERIES ESTABLISHED: Ozaukee County, Wisconsin, 1971. REMARKS: Diagnostic horizons and features recognized in this pedon are: sapric materials dominant in the subsurface tier; saturated with water for 6 months or more of the year; have a limnic layer(coprogenous material) greater than 5 cm thick within the control section.
